A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
vouches for the authenticity of the following aaecdote of
Mr. Mark Lemon :—At the after dinner following a
meeting of directors of a (at that time) not very flourish-
ing concern, Mr. Lemon was in the chair. There were
present a gentleman named Peel, three or four others, and
myself. One of the party said "Come, Mr. Chairman,
let us have some punch 1" Mr. Lemon said, "Ah !

have got the peel; but I am afraid we have -not got the

CELEBRATION OF THE QUEEN'S BIRTIID‘ AY.—
The official celebration of her Majesty's birthday took
place on Saturday. A parade of the household troops,
together with about 400 militia, was held at the Horse
Guards. Amongst those who assembled in honour of the
occasion were the Prince of Wales, the King of Holland,
and Prince Teck. The Princess of Wale§ viewed
the parade from the balcony at Dover House.
The national standard was hoisted at all the Govern-
ment establishments, and salvos of artillery fired. In
the evening the clubs, the residences of the nobility and
gentry, and the shops of the tradesmen at the West-end
were brilliantly illuminated. The Great Officers of the
Household and the principal Cabinet Ministers also cele-
brated her Majesty's birthday by giving State banquets.

Despatches from Canada state that eight men were
killed and twenty wounded among the Fenians. The

A Lecturer in Difficulties.

M. Laboulaye, a Frenchman, whose name is well-
known in literary circles, has involved himself in a
series of difficulties by attempting to reconcile politi-
cal and philosophical honours. M. Laboulaye
has grown famous as a Liberal, and as such
was duly honoured by the students of the
College de France, .where- he has to deliver a course
of lectures. The students, however, have now taken
a great prejudice against him, because they consider
he has deserted the Liberal cause. M. Laboulaye,
it may be remembered, was spoken of as one of the
new Ministers, and it is currently reported that it was
an unlucky brochure of his, ridiculing the education
given in courts which impeded his accession to office in
place of M. Plichon or M. Mege. " Prince Caniche"
as the pamphlet was called so displeased the Empress
that her influence hindered the author's en-
trance into the 011ivier Cabinet. To com-
pensate for .this disappointment he has been
nominated to the Senate, and when he presented
himself at the College de France to resume his lec-
tures he was met by shouts of "Au Sdnat ! au
S6nat !" There was also an unlucky story current
among the students, that the former electors of M.
Laboulaye had reclaimed a silver inkstand
they had presented to the ci-devant Liberal,
and the truth of the report was loudly
demanded. M. Laboulaye, who was not without
partisans in the assembly, behaved with firmness and
composure. He announced his intention of remain-
ing at his post until the hour was up, whatever up-
roar they made. By his readiness, good humour,,
and courage, he kept his assailants at bay
for the specified time, and then- retreated
to his carriage, attended by a demon-
strative crowd. A second attempt to resume
the course was made on Friday, with similar ill luck.
The students were divided into two parties, stones
were thrown, the " Mai seillaise " sung, and other
excesses indulged in. The Professor had to leave
the room, being unable to obtain a hearing. The
dignity of a senator has in his case been dearly paid
for.

THE FENIANS IN CANADA.

The Telegraph declares that the Fenians have bungled
their wicked business. Of necessity they could not
gather on the frontier in large masses, -prepared for
a powerful dash on some important point of the
hostile territory ; they could only muster men and
material by instalments ; • and, since the authorities
on both sides were prepared for any enterprise, the
invaders lost all the advantage of the first rush. Hang-
ing about in an incoherent fashion, at a number of points
along the border, they have presented an attenuated, and
by no means formidable, line of attack ; and, wherever
our troops or the colonial militia have encountered them,
a heartless fight and a shamefulflight have been the result.
We may now be assured that the insane proceedings of
the Fenians will be limited to the merest verge of our
idominion, and that the incendiary fire of revolt will there
De speedily " stamped out " by the resolute action of the
colonial authorities and the energetic good faith of the
American Government in vindicating its neutrality.

Superoession of Colonels.

The question of the supersession of colonels
of the British army, by the colonels of
the Indian forces, has been discussed by the
military authorities at the India office with the fol-
lowing result : that every case of a colonel of Her
Majesty's army serving in India, who might be
brought into a position of official subordina-
tion to a general officer of the Indian
army junior to him as a colonel, should be
specially considered, and dealt with by granting
some compensation for the temporary loss of regi-
mental command, should he be disposed to serve
under the other's command. Considering the
small number of military appointments in
India held by Major-Generals of the Indian Army,
the Military Secretary confidently expects that the
authorities in India will be able to make such
arrangements as will render these cases very rare
indeed.

HER MAJESTY.

BALMORAL CASTLE, May 28,
The Queen went out yesterday morning with Princess

Louise.

In the afternoon her Majesty, attended by the Duchess
Dowager of Athole and Miss Macgregor, drove to the Linn
of Quoich.
Earl de Grey arrived at the Castle as Minister in attend-
ance upon her Majesty.

The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Prince of
Teck and Count Gleichen, and attended by Colonel Kings-
cote, Lieutenant-Colonel Teesdale, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Ellis, was present, on Saturday morning, at the guard-
mounting parade in St. James's Park, in honour of the
Queen's birthday.

The annual general meeting of the 11,6"yal Cam-
bridge asylum for soldiers widows was held on Saturday
at the United Service Institution, Whitehall. His Royal
Highness Prince Teck presided, and there were also
present, the Princess Teck, the Duchess of Cambridge,
and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar. The report and
balance-sheet which were satisfactory, were adopted, and
five widows, making in all 52 inmates of the institution
were elected to vacancies.

The Floating Dock Bermuda.

The huge floating dock which left England last
June for Bermuda has only recently been floated
into the Camber, or basin of the Royal Naval Dock-
yard at Ireland Island, the place which
she was destined to occupy. When the dock
in tow of the Viper and Vixen reached Bermuda
in July the hurricane season had set in, and as the
passage into the Camber is as treacherous a one as
that of the " Narrows," it was deemed advisable
to sink the dock in Grassy Bay until the
return of fine weather. On the 7th of last month
the Commander-in-Chief of the North American and
West Indian stations being at Bermuda, and a larger
number of men-of-war than are usually there being
in port, it was thought that the work of raising the
dock and bringing it to its future anchorage could be
successfully undertaken. Early on the morning of
that day the air valves of the immense mass of iron
were opened, and it rose in the water in a most satis-
factory and gratifying manner. Subsequently haw-
sers were attached to it from H.M. sloop Royalist,
and other vessels, and the dock was slowly escorted
from the Bay. She was brought past the break-
water outside the Camber, and through the intricate
channel at its entrance in an admirable manner,
though not without considerable danger, and in less
than five hours after the raising of the dock she
proudly. floated in the dockyard basin, and was
hawsered in position.

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

Miss Neilson has commenced her dramatic studies with
the most brilliant success Her first programme was selected
from the most classic dramatists of Europe. The reading
was accompanied by illustr.tive anecdotes and remarks, and
the pieces chosen were from "The Provoked Husband," by
Vanbrugh and Cibber ; " The Death of Wallenstein,"
Schiller; "The Taming of the Shrew," Sha,kespere ;
"Phedar," Racine ; and " Love for Love," Congreve. .Tra-
gedy and comedy thus alternated, and both were given in
the most artistic manner. Miss Neilson appeared to have a
preference for tragedy, as .she seemed to throw her whole
soul into the delivery of the selection from Racine. The
conflicting passions were finely dep cted, and the entire
audience attested their appreciation of her great talent by
the most enthusiastic applause. While so grand in tragedy,
Miss Neilson read the scenes from "Love for Love" with
the greatest piquancy, and thus triumph succeeded triumph
till the programme was exhausted. The musical portion of
the entertainment was simply the pianoforte, but it was
intrusted to Mr. Lindsay Sloper, whose splendid perform-
ance of the various selections was the theme of general ad-
miration. Altogether the first Dramatic Study was so great
a success that we entertain the hope that the series will be
a much longer one than was originally intended.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

In the cattle market to-day an increased amount of busi-
ness has been transacted, and higher rates has been ob-
tained. The show of beasts has been only moderate ; but
the quality has been very fiue. There has been an active
inquiry for all breeds, and 2d per 81bs more money has been
obtained. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire, we received 1,400 Scots and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 350 various breeds; and from
Scotland, 282 Scots and creases, With sheep the
market has been fairly supplied. Sales have progressed
steadily, at extreme currencies. For the best Downs
and half-breds, 5s 2d to 5s 4d, and occasionally 5s 6d per
81bs has been paid. Lambs have been steady, at 7s to 7s 6d
per f lbs. Calves have been firm, and quite as dear. Piga
have changed hands quietly, on former terms.
METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET,

The supplies of meat have been short. Tho trade has been
firm at full prices. The imports into Landon last week
consisted of 86 packages from Hamburg, 4 from Harlingen,
and 4 from Antwerp.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Moderate supplies of potatoes have been on sale. The
trade has been quiet, at about late rate'. New potatoes
are now coming to hand from Lisbon and Jersey.

SHOCKING MURDER AT HEREFORD.

Game Laws Abolition.

Lord Stradbrooke writes to the Post in great
indignation to contradict a statement in the speech of
Mr. P. A. Taylor, which was published in that
journal. Mr. Taylor said that " Lord Strad-
brooke boasted his game was worth £9,000
a year." Lord 'Stradbrooke can hardly think
that any member of the House of Commons
can be so weak in the upper story as to believe such
nonsense, and trusts that the statement was a mis-
print. After dwelling on the details of the matter,
he concludes by declaring that preserving as he does
less than 7,000 acres, the " idea of his game being
worth £9,000 a year amounts to monomania." The
force of this argument is a little marred by the
subjoined remark that_a pure Radical will believe
almost anything.

THE SAPPHO AND CAMRRIA.

------
Douglas, the enterprising owner of the Sappho,
Who, like his beautiful vessel has been winning golden
°Pinions since his visit to English waters, is gallantly
resolved, says the Daily News, not to rest on his laurels.
41-1 e is making sport for our home-staying yachtsmen, and
encouraging them to emulate his well-won victories. With
generous fairness that deserves hearty recognition, he
11. OW offers to sail the Cambria two return matches, each
miles to windward and back. If this
Were all there would not be much to say for or
against such challenge ; except that the Cambria would
Probably be content with the result of her recent
lab under similar conditions. But the owner of the
""al:Pho offers to give the Cambria time allowance for
of tonnage, according to the Royal Thames Yacht Club
measurement in one race, and according to the New York
Yacht Club in the other. Nothing could be more hand-
some and considerate than these terms. For the sake of
Yachting sport both in England and America, we trust
that Mr. Douglas's offer will be accepted. Whatever may
be the issue of the trials between these two vessels, it
°tight to aid in the solution of some nice questions, and
..,eentribute to the settlement of some interesting controver-
sies among builders and owners and the sailing committees
of the yacht clubs on either shore of the Atlantic.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

THE ALTERATIONS IN THE IRISH LAND BILL.

TH

The Saturday Review considers that the alteration of
the third clause of the Irish Land Bill, will completely
alter its character. The bill will still be of great value to
tenants who have made improvements, for they will get
re-couped in a perfectly novel manner and to a very
handsome extent for what they have done, and it will be
of value to tenants under Ulster and other customs, for
these customs will henceforth have a legal validity. But
it is difficult to see of what use the bill will be to the
mass of Irish tenants, who are poor men, and who will be
just as much liable to be turned out without getting any
compensation, if the landlord wants to raise their rent,
as they are now. It is true that the bill will
protect the tenant against eviction from mere caprice
The landlord will not be able in future to turn a man out
simply because he dislikes him or wishes to throw
farms together without, having to pay for his act. But
the bill now offers no protection to the tenant against
eviction because in the excessive competition for land it
Ireland some one offers to pay more than he pays. Mr.
Gladstone originally offered him a most effectual protec-
tion against this ; he was to have a sum down for going
out, and :hen the landlord would have to consider whether
the increased rent he could get from some one els',
would repay the outlay of the compensation to
the outgoing tenant. This offer was then cut down
to the proposal that he should have a sum—variable actor
ding to many subtle calculations, but still something—for
going out. Now he is to have nothing whatever for going
out if he will not pay as rent what some one else offers to
to pay. Wearied as Mr. Gladstone must bd with the details
of the bill, and overawed as he is by the superiority of Six
Roundell Palmer to his own law-officers, it is still
difficult to conceive that he will let the bill stand as it
now stands after the adoption of Sir Roundell Palmer's
amendment. The other minor changes'of Thursday night
can scarcely be allowed to pass into law in the shape
sanctioned by the Government. The law of distress for
non-payment of rent is far too important, and has far too
many ramifications, to be swept away by a few hasty
words ; and the clauses intended to provide cottages for
the agricultural poor are now so ingeniously arranged
that it will not be the interest of any one to build cottages
at all. But mistakes of this sort can be rectified with a
little card and patience ; while the whole character of the
bill, so far as three out of every four Irish tenants are
concerned, will depend on whether their landlords are or
are not to be allowed to turn them out without paying
any compensation if they can get a higher rent from some
one else.

The Army Journals on the Raid.

The troops of the line at present in Canada are the
78th Highlanders and the 84th Regiment at Nova
Scotia, the 60th Foot at Toronto, the Rifle Brigade
and the field artillery at Halifax. The Broad Arrow
thinks this is a small supply of regular soldiers for
a large country so threatened as Canada, and says it
is questioned whether; his force is sufficient for such
emergencies, even as the present one. It considers
that at all events Mr. Cardwell has now an oppor-

tunity -Of reflecting on the wisdom of the
policy which would have denuded the Dominion even
of these troops, and which may also remind him that
there is a time for all things, a time to sin and a time
to repent. The military journals all extol the conduct
of President Grant in taking the step
he has done to prevent the Fenian raiders
from an infringement of the neutrality laws. One
contemporary says that soldiers, at least, will not
fail to admire the soldierly promptness with which
he ordered the arrest of O'Neill, and argues that the
General's whole proceedings in the affair prove to the
full that the irritation he has been charged with
exhibiting against England has passed away, if,
indeed, it ever really existed.
. The Policy which Does not Alter.
_

Earl Granville has told the House of Lords that
the policy of the Government towards the colonies
was in no wise changed ; but that the departure of the
troops which were ordered to leave Canada, has been
retarded on account of the Fenian raid. Probably
a " strong government " with a hundred majority
never does change its policy ; it only kindly, con-
siderately, and indulgently makes slight variations
now and then. Earl Granville refused on general
principles to allow the 18th Regiment to remain in
New Zealand, whilst the MaorieS yet retained
a menacing aspect ; but he allows the troops
recalled from Canada to remain whilst the Fenians
are dangerous. Where is the difference ? The
Fenians might do much mischief, it is true ; but so
might the New Zealand savages. Indeed, the former
have not inflicted nearly so much injury as the latter.
Lord Granville refused to counteract the order for
the departure of the 18th regiment on the
grounds that each colony ought to provide
for its own defence, and that it was impossible to
entrust British soldiers to the control of colonial
authorities, whilst, on the other hand, a divided
command would be ruinous. Just the same principle
applies to Canada. There can be no doubt that the
retention of the troops in Canada was a change of
policy; but it is one which the House of Commons
cheere4 and which the public generally will ap-
plaud. The Government would have incurred a
very serious responsibility, if the soldiers had sailed
for England, and any serious injury had befallen the
colony. These hard and fast lines of policy cannot
be insisted on in time of trouble.

THE TIPPERARY ELECTION PETITION.

Some witnesses examined at Nenagh on Saturday,
deposed that after voting they got 10s, each from Mr.
Heron's canvassers, their expenses going to booths having
been previously paid. A man named Garrett Stack stated
that he was offered ten pounds to vote for Mr. Heron, and
his son the same amount to personate the father. One
voter was proved to have been paid twenty-five shillings
for bringing another two miles to a Railway-station. The
Rev. Father Hayes was also stated to have offered
money. Several Catholic priests inculpated in Mr. Pur-
cell's opening statement, but not called as witnesses
by the petitioners, came forward on their own account to
protest against the charges made, and challenged investi-
gation. The judge expressed a strong opinion several
times during the progress of tile case upon the reckless
manner in which the petitioners had made charges, which
afterwards were not attempted to be substantiated. Mr.
Sergeant Armstrong reminded the Court that after tike
withdrawal of charges against a number oS clergymen
on Friday evening• four cases remained which the
petitioners undertook to prove. Mr. Purcell, in re-
plying to the Court, said, witnesses in these
cases were not in court, and Mr. Baron Hughes re-
peated his censure of the petitioners' condnet. Mr.
Purcell then withdrew the charges, as had no evidence
to support them, and Mr. Baron Hughes said it was most
unfortunate they should hay.e been made. The Rev. Mr..
Hayes being examined on the question of agency, tells
Court reminded Mr. Purcell that the witness was charged

with attempting to bribe a voter named Payne, and inti-
mated that he ought to be examined on the point. Mr.
Purcell declined to examine him, and the Court allowed
Mr. Hayes to make a statement denying the charge.
Laffern contradicted the evidence of Gleeson as to
his having offered Gleeson money for his vote.
Several witnesses were called to prove treatment and Me-
gal payment to voters, and petitioners' case was closed.
The respondent's witnesses were then examined to rebut
the charges of treating and illegal payments. They stated
that the only money disbursed was for the conveyance of
voters to the poll, and for the payment of mobs organised
to protect Mr. Heron's supporters. Fathers Hayes and
Ryan denied having threatened from the altar to excom-
municate Mr. Kickham's supporters. They acknowledged
having warned their congregations against being deluded
by Fenian emissaries, having read the Pope's bull against
Fenians, and stated that those who supported Kickham
would seem to be supporting Fenianism. Mr. Sergeant
Armstrong summed up for the respondent. The Court
having heard a reply, the proceedings were adjourned.
Judgment will probably be given on Monday.

sUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1870.

M. GAMBETTA AT BELLEVILLE.

At a private meeting held at Belleville, M. Gambetta
delivered a speech, in which he considered the results of
the Plebiscite, and described the course which the Radical
party should follow. He said that the Plebiscite had
aggravated the situation for the Empire. What were
they to think of a Power which, after declaring itself
eternal, was compelled to appeal again to popular
uffrage ? After affirming, in 1852, that the Plebiscite of
that year would be its immoveable foundation, it comes
before you in 1870 to ask you to give it another base. I
assert that in a country where points of such importance
are constantly called into question, there may be kings,
and emperors, and reigning families, but not a monarchy.
This figure of 1,500,000 votes attained by the Irreconcil-
ables has frightened our adversaries, so much that they
do not know what to make of their victory. They are
also analysing the character of their votes, which are
chiefly composed of the bourgeois class. The bourgeoisie,
which was formerly the friend of the people, has now
made friendship with its bitter enemies. You must shew
that you are not conspirators since you are opposed to
the man whose fortune was made by three conspiracies.
What do these seven.million of votes avail for the Em-
pire? They are so many creditors. The Emperor is ac-
cepted, but he is told, we wish to be governed, but not
taken advantage of. The most important task that lies
before us is to free the bourgeoisie and the provinces from
that fear which has possessed them. They dread, lest
having un-made a Government, no other can be
put in its place. France is indifferent as
to her ruler, provided she is well governed.
The democratic party ought to have a discipline in
itself. If Paris set the example of this, France would
speedily be reassured, and confidence would return. Dis-
cipline is above all necessary on the fieid of battle, which
is the Chamber. So far we have made progress, as a true
Left exists, which is closed to all who are not Republican.
If we exhibit this moderation and this discipline we shall
secure unlimited confidence, and gain the respect of those
whose hearts have long been with us, and have rendered
justice to our lofty ideals and our excellent principles."
London, England, 1870-05-30

The Railway Tax.

The Economist understands it is now quite settled
that the proposed alteration in the railway duty—the
change from a 5 per cent. charge on passenger traffic
to a 1 per cent. charge on all the receipts—will not
be persevered in. Clauses embodying the alteration
have been inserted in the Budget Bill, but only as a
matter of form. "As we insisted from the
firstl the public have a great interest in
retaining the duty, because it is merely a
mode of reserving for the State a share
in the profits of a monopoly. To abandon it would
simply be to throw away so mach property of the
State, and pro tanto burden the general taxpayer.
We are convinced that this is not what Mr. Lowe
intended, and at any rate ample time will now be left
for considering whether a tax of this sort ought to
be given away. The suggestion of the Budget has
at least had the merit of shewing that it cannot be
meddled with without its being given up altogether."
The New Halfpenny Stamp.

The Railway News states that the Post-office
authorities have finally decided upon the form of the
new halfpenny stamp to be used for the
transmission of newspapers. It will be one-
third smaller than the present postage stamp,
with the figures id. on each side of the Queen
head. The form will be oblong, the horizontal sides
being longer than the perpendicular, thus presenting
to the eye a clear and well-defined difference between
the halfpenny and the penny stamp. The colour
selected has been light pink, that having been found
after many experiments to be the most fugitive and
the most easily affected by any attempts at tamper-
ing with it. Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co., who
engraved, and now print, the present postage stamp,
have received the order to engrave the new stamp
and print 1,200,000 sheets of it, to be ready for
delivery early in September.

THE WITHDRAWAL OF STRANGERS.

The Standard says that the particular privilege of the
House of Commons which entitles any individual member
to claim the withdrawal of strangers is very properly
to become a question for discussion. Mr. Glad-
stone has announced that the Government have
entered upon the study of the question, and he has
promised to give us the result of their deliberations,
either on Monday at Tuesday next, when Mr. Hen-
ley's motion is to be brought forward. If it is right
that the power of excluding strangers should still
remain with the House, there can be no reason why this
should not be done by a vote of the majority rather than
by the option of a single member. All that is necessary
for the due protection of freedom of debate would be
provided by this means, which would be in accord-
ance with the general system by which the House
secures its own order and government. In any case it is
unnecessary tnat the reporters should be included in the
category of strangers, for it is absurd to pretend that the
mere publication of the speeches can, in any circumstance,
be an interference with the liberty of debate. The publi-
cation of the reports is, in fact, an extension of and a
security for the liberty of discussion.

MADRID, May 28.

News from Lisbon reports a demonstration in favour of
Iberian unity, but it is attributed to political man-
oeuvring.
The Imparcial denies the statement that Prim will make
the proposal to grant the Regent Royal prerogatives a
party question.
Senor Morel has presented to the Cortes a bill abolish-
ish slavery in the Spanish colonies in the case of slave
children and aged slaves, as well as to the slaves of the
Cuban rebels. The slaves not comprised in this bill will
be the subject of another measure. The bill was well re-
ceived. Marshal Prim has summoned all absent members
of the Cortes to the capital.
Senor Rios denied all knowledge of the statement that

sons who had purchased church estates.

The Greek Murders.

The French Government takes a very active
interest in the late massacres in Greece. Indeed,
it spares no pains to bring the little State to a sense
of its condition. Another French despatch has been
sent to Athens, severely blaming the Government of
King George for dragging on the negotiations. The
communication reiterates the menace expressed in a
previous despatch of the same Government, that
the Greeks as a nation will be made to answer,
should any Frenchman sustain an injury in
their country. It may perhaps be doubted
how far one nation, however big, can claim to insult
another, however little, in this fashion. The Greek
Government has quite enough to do with the sins it
has already committed without being bullied about
sins which it has not, but only may, commit. The
French Government is anxious for a conference to
"fix the guarantees to be given by Greece of future
good behaviour."
Mr. Gladstone's Mystification.
Mr. Gladstone's manner of receiving deputations,
and of sending them away again, with feelings of a
very satisfactory nature as to the result of
their interviews, has at length been openly com-
mented upon by an intelligent Scotchman.
Addressing the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland a day or two since, Dr. Norman Macleod
corrected an interpretation which had been
given to a statement made by the Pre-
mier to some representatives of the Church of
Scotland with reference to the Church patronage
question. Dr. M'Leod added that he was only inclined
to state what the Premier did not say, he would not
discuss what he did say, as he never found two men
agreed as to what was the purport of Mr. Gladstone's
words when replying to deputations.
Meetings of Educational Committees.

The Committee of the National Education
League met at Birmingham on Friday, and
subsequently they issued a circular. to the various
branches concerning the Government amendments
to the Education Bill. The opinion expressed
is an unfavourable one, the concessions being
looked upon as unsatisfactory in themselves, and as
failing to deal with the objections of the League in
regard to the measure. It is not thought probable
that the Nonconformists will consent to them.
The further consideration of the question
will be taken up at a special meeting of
the League Executive on the third of June. A day
or two ago a meeting of the sub-committee of the
Manchester Education Bill Committee was held, at
which certain resolutions were unanimously adopted.
They set forth the approval of the committee with
regard to the establishment of a strict time-
table conscience clause in those schools
which receive public aid. The general committee
were advised to support the amendments which ad-
vocate the views of Mr. Jacob Bright and Mr.
Hibbert. The Government amendments are disap-
proved of for several reasons, among which is men-
tioned the unsectarian character of rate-provided
schools.
