CONTEMPT OF COURT.—We understand that Vice-
Chancellor Bacon has committed to Holloway Prison two
gentlemen and two married ladies, sisters of the two
gentlemen, for contempt of Court, in conspiring to marry
a young lady, ward of the Court of Chancery, to one of
the two gentlemen. The ward and her intended husband
had succeeded in reaching Scotland, but before any mar-
riage was celebrated the parties, under legal advice,
returned to England and submitted themselves to the
Court. We believe that the ward is possessed of consider-
able property.—Law Journal.
THE SAXON CHURCH, WHITTINGHAM.—The upper
stages of the Saxon tower of the church at Whittingham,
in Northumberland, illustrated by Hickman, were des-
troyed in a restoration of the church, which took place in
1840. The works undertaken at that period at this in-
teresting church did not-comprise the chancel, which was
erected in the most debasad style temp. Queen Anne.
Lord Ravelisworth, whose seat, Eslington Park, is in the
parish, has resolved to restore the chancel in a manner
commensurate with the extent and dignity of the rest of
the fabric. Approved designs have been made by Mr.
F. H. Wilson, architect, Alnwick, and the works are to
be forthwith carried out.—Builder.

---
A number of gentlemen met on Friday at the re-
sidence of Mr. E. Hudson, whose services in connection
with the Dublin Exhibition Palace are well known,
to present him with a piece of plate. Amon
those present were :—The Duke of Leinster, the
Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Hon. John P.
Vereker, Sir John Barrington, Mr. Ste ens, Mr. Allen,
Mr. Russell, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Colquhoun, Mr. Fry, Mr.
Switzer, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Johnston, Mr. E. Fottrell,
and Mr. Anketell. The Duke of *luster, in presenting
the testimonial, stated he had been connected with the
Dublin Exhibition Palace Company from its formation to
its close, and had the greatest pleasure in bearing his
testimony to the able and judicious manner in which
Mr. Hudson had discharged his very difficldt and respon-
sible professional duties. lie had the greatest pleasure
and satisfaction in presenting, on behelf of the subscribers
that testimonial to Mr. Hudson which he had justly
earned. Mr. Hudson returned thanks at considerable
length, and acknowledged the high honour conferred on
him.

The Spectator asks what possible or imaginable goo(
could a National Assembly just now do in France? We
entirely admit that the Sovereign power in France, as in
England, rightly belongs to such an Assembly, but what
use could there be in invoking the Sovereign power just
now ? Suppose that it removed the two chiefs of the
national movement, or limited their autocracy, that
would he only a misfortune, mid would tend directly to
diminish the vigour of the defence. Or suppose it
supported Trochu and Gambetta, what would they
on behalf of the national movement, appear to gain? A
better title to obedience ? What better title can they
conceivably have than an obedience so voluntary and so
universal that it amounts to a plebiscite of the most
splendid kind, a plebiscite delivered in the face of the
enemy and under penalty of endless suffering? All
France is obeying Troche and Gambetta, the very men
who run away acknowledae their authority, mid even
the Alsatians, who know they will be marked men for
life, will for years to come be exposed to punishment from
their new rulers, throng to the standard of the Genose
who is defending France in such numbers that the
Germans have to punish their families in order to strike
terror. What better title to rule a
.nation can there he
than the national will, or what other title does King
William plead to the Kaisership of Germany ? By every
law human or divine known among men, M. Gambetta
has a right to defend his country, and to lead other coan-
trymen willing to follow in that work of defence, and that
is all he is doing. Insurrection against the foreigner has
always been held by Englishmen a duty as well as a
right, and he is leading an insurrection against the
foreigner as much as ever Hofer or Daniel Manin were,
fir more than Washington was. Is his moral positron
changed because he has created great armies instead of
little bands, or because, instead of failing, he will, in all
human probability, succeed ? Or is it altered because the
enemy is a great one, a highly organized State, inhabited
by highly-trained soidiers, directed by Generals of the
first capacity ? Is it lawful to rebel against all invaders
save such as happen to wear spectacles ? To say that he
is compelling France to defend herself against her will is
the silliest calumny. If a district chooses to disobey,
what is to prevent it ? If an army chooses to arrest him,
what hinders it ? If a town shuts its gates on him, and
proclaims peace, where is its liability ? He has pre-
cisely the title of the House of Hanover to the throne of
England, namely, the will of the people, given of neces-
sity, and under exceptional circumstances through
irregular forms.

MR. BRIGHT'S RETIREMENT.
The Economist remarks that the retirement of Mr.
Bright from the Cabinet, owing to failing health, will give
all its older readsrs a peculiar feeling of sadness. A new
generation is attaining life and vigour to whom the " Anti-
Corn Law League " is a matter of history. If you chance
to speak of it as " the League," as we always used to
speak of it, they ask " what League?" But the great
majority of active men still remember the details of that
great agitation, the triumphs of "Drury Lane and Covent
Garden" meetings, and how Mr. Bright's voice rung full
and penetrating, second in power only to one, if second to
any, over those great open stages. That Mr. Bright has
to abandon active administration will come home to many
as an unwelcome hint that it is time for them to give up
themselves. If Mr, Bright has been somewhat miscon-
conceived in his own time, he will probably have the com-
pensation of being—we may risk a prophecy—of all our
own contemporary politicians the best known to posterity.
His speeches are very amusing reading, and, as a rule,
those are best known to posterity who can amuse posterity.
Nothing can in general be more fleeting than the fame of
an orator. A great Budget speech is heard with the most
eager attention, and criticisd at the time with vehement
interest. But who cares for it a few years afterwards?
Who but a very few economical inquirers has the slightest
remembrance of the financial speeches of Pitt or Peel?
But there is a certain mixture of racy fun and sentiment
in Bright's speeches which make them capital reading
even now—reading which you can read when you are
tired, but which yet has something in it ; and this is the
sort of literature which travels farthest and lives longest.
We are not now reviewing Mr. Bright's career. It is not
yet closed. Though we trust he will never again attton?emps
t
administrative labours, we dope that his peaceful
may often be heard again in the great assemblages of his
countrymen. If we had to sketch his life, there would be
something to blame as well as much to praise. But w e
need not go into that now. We have only to express
, our regret at his retirement, and to wonder at the strange
dispensations of Providence which mixed a fine, and to
some extent incapacitating, thread of nervous delicacy
soin
a mind so healthy, so vigorous, and on most points
emphatically robust.

ARMOUR OF OUR IRON-CLADS.--In the turret-
ships Thunderer and Devastation, we have eleven and
twelve inches of armour. Ships for sea-going purposes
have been designed to carry fifteen inches of armour, and
the Admiralty are in possession of designs for a turret-
ship with sides plated with fifteen inches, and turrets
with eighteen inches of armour. Nor do we even stop
here, for the late Chief Constructor of the Navy prepared
outline designs of ships to carry twenty-nine inches of
armour both on broadside and turrets.—.Pronz " Our Iron-
clad Navy," in the Cornhill Magazine for January.
THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORSHIP OF BENGAL.—
This important office, we are enabled to state, is about
to be filled by the appointment of Mr. George Campbell,
of Edenwood. The office is one of the highest and most
arduous of any office in the gift of the British, or, indeed,
any other Crown. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal
is sole ruler over 38,000,000 of population, a much greater
number than is comprised in any of the other Governor-
ships of India, or in any of the European States, ex-
cepting Russia. At this time too, the duties of the
office are more than ordinarily difficult, several very large
and difficult Bengal questions standing unsettled. The
appointment is a high testimony to
be confirmed, it
may confidently be hoped, by the results—to Mr.
Campbell's conspicuous energy, courage, and sagaeit.y.—
Scotsman.

At the London Mansion House on Friday, Mr
Rayner, a gentleman charged with having unlawfully
converted to his own use biils of exchange valued at
£2,000, was discharged, his accuser having failed, and left
the country.
Embezzlements to a very large extent have just
come to light, committed by the conadential manager of
a large house of business at Sheffield. Goods have also
been sent out to a considerable amount without the know-
ledge of tne principal, who has been ill for seine time.
The culprit has confessed all.
Mr. and Mrs. Gosohen spent an hour Lv.:t Sunday
in visiting Lambeth workhouse, their attention having
probably been drawn to that establishment by the recent
severe remarks of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn respect-
ing it, which the board deeply regret, Mr. White, a vestry-
man. having found "everything as clean and nice as could
possibly be imagined."
Edward Grateley, one of the men sentenced to
death at the recent assizes at Manchester, for the murder
of his wife, has been reprieved, and his sentence com-
muted to penal servitude for ife. Patrick Durr, who was
also condemned to death for the murder of his wife, will
be executed this (Monday) morning. The warrant was
received by Captain Mitchell, the Governor of the County
Gaol, on Friday.

The Pia says that the fishing season sit 1870 has
been one of the worst on record, and want of water has
been one of the principal causes for this. From this
dronght the salmon rod fishings all over the kingdom have
suffered severely, and many renters and proprietors of
fisheries which are usually very proluctive of sport have
had their rentals and preservation to pay for little better
than nothing.
At the Board of G'uarcliuns in o,rk on Fri 'ay
Mr. O'Sullivan, ex-mayor, propose:l a resolution compli-
menting the Government on releasing the Fenian
prisoners, though regretting that their release was not
unconditional. The chairman, Mr. Dunscombe, depre-
cated the constant introduction of politics at the board,
but Mr. Sullivan contended that that was the only way to
get the opinion of the country through public boards. The
motion was put to a very small board, and lost by a
majority of one.
A notice signed by Vie Secretary of the Admiralty
has been sent to Chatham Dockyard, announcing that the
Lords of the Admiralty having been empowered to enrol
a reserve liable for service in the Royal Navy, the fol-
lowing men will, if found fit, be admitted into the Seamen
Pensioners' Reserve ;—Discharged seamen under 55 years
of age at present in receipt of a pension, and all petty
officers and seamen under 45 years of age who may be
pensioned after the Ist of April, 1871. The numerous
advantages to be gained by seamen joining the reserve
force are fully set forth in the notice.
We lately stated that a large number of German
sailors were employed in our mercantile navy, and in cor-
roboration of the statement we may add that a shipping
officer, in giving evidence lately before an Admiralty
committee, stated that on one occasion he had shipped
nineteen seamen who all gave the name of John Smith,
and named Portsmouth, Plymouth, Liverpool, and other
well-known English towns as their birthplaces; but on
investigation it was discovered that seventeen of these
men were foreigners owing allegiance to King William of
Prussia and other German princes.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Dr. Lankester, the coroner, was engaged on Friday
in an attempt to unravel a most mysterious occurrence.
A well-corded box, addressed to " Mr. Thompson, Car-
lisle Station—to be left till called for," was received on
September 21. No inquiry having been made, it was for-
warded to the Lost Property Office at Euston-square and
opened on the 11th of the present month. The box was
then found to contain the bodies of two infants, appa-
rently about nine months old, whose deaths, according to
the medical evidence, were caused by violence. No clue
has been obtained to the perpetrators of this hideous
tragedy.
