CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IN INDIA.

Lord Napier of Magdala, in his position of Com-
mander-in-Chief in India, has been heard on Indian
subjects with much interest in London. His lordship
did not agree with the enthusiasts of the vernacular
in India, and would much prefer to see the native
population translated into English in language
and habits. That was impossible, however,
he said, because they could not send
their agents into the abodes of the different tribes in
India. It had been said that they ought to forget all
about the great mutiny. Ile hoped that would never
be the case, but that they would remember their
faults in connection with it, and endeavour to pre-
vent a recurrence of them, the best means of doing
which would be by the dissemination of education
throughout India. Lord Napier eulogised the ser-
vices of the missionaries in India, and sidled that
much ignorance prevailed with reference to the
Ilindoo, who was, amongst other things, capable of
great affection. his entire expression of opinion was
indicative of a great desire on the part of his lord-
ship for the extension of education in our Eastern
possessions.

SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.

On Thursday the Master of the Rolls was occupied
with the suit of " Weston v. Weston," in which the
plaintiff sued for payment by her husband of an annuity
of £l,OOO, secured to her by a deed of separation. It ap-
peared that the parties resided together in Dorsetsbire.
Differences arose between them, and in 1866 a deed of
separation was entered into. By it the husband, William
Henry Purcell Weston settled upon his wife,
Alder Gertrude Weston, an annuity of £l,OOO,
subject to a power of revocation under cer-
tain circumstances. Amongst these conditions the deed
specified the commission of adultery by the wife, or the
institution by her of any suit for restitution of conjugal
rights. There were three children by the marriage, who
at first lived with the mother, but shortly after the deed
was entered into one of the children returned to, and has
since lived with the father, and on that account it was
agreed that the annuity should be reduced to £9OO. The
husband paid the quarterly instalment, which became due
in April 1867, but in the following May he gave notice to
Mrs. Weston's solicitor that in consequence, as he alleged,
of her having committed the adultery, he revoked the
grant.
Mr. Jesgel, Q.O. (with him Mr. Cracknell) now shewed
cause against the revocation, denying the charges of
adultery, characterising them as false and scandalous, and
only made to avoid the payment of the annuity. On
these grounds he asked for the payment of all arrears and
a declaration of continued title in future.

_
At the couclusion of the plaintiff's case,
The Master of the Rolls adjourned the case till Fri-
day, to allow Sir Richard Baf,gally to make out his was
for the defendant.

ADDITIONAL LIGHT SHIPS.

Mr. HOLLAND asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade
whether his attention had been called to the frequent
wrecks which have recently taken place along the coast of
Cardiganshiro, Merionethshire, and Carnarvonshire ; and
whether the Government or the Trinity House contem-
plate p:acing another lightship along that coast, or alter-
-1g the position of the lightship now stationed in Cardigan
Bay, FO as to make the same of use to vessels bound for the
Irish Channel and for ports along the above coast.
Mr. LEFEVRE said he had no precise information on the
first portion of the question, but with respect to Cardigan
Bay a light ship had been placed there in November last.

TEMPORA ET MORES AT CAMBRIDGE.

The Cambridge magistrates have had before them
two cases of bad behaviour on the part of
university men. One light of the academy
bad been breaking street lamps, and pleaded
that "he had been dining out." As intoxica-
tion or semi-intoxication does not excuse an
ignorant criminal, the magistrates were unable to
perceive how it should condone the offence of an
.3clucated man. In . the other case, the con-
,luct of two University .members was:disgracefully
low. They threw water from the windows of
their rooms on women passing by, and used
ungentlemanly language to a policeman. These per-
sons are not at all representatives of the university
body generally; they are discreditable exceptions;
but such exceptions bring disgrace upon the rest.
The firmness of the magistrates may, however, serve
to prevent repetitions of such behaviour. They fined
all the offenders.

IRISH TENURES.

A return of the number and kind of agricultural
-noldings in Ireland shews that the great majority of
the small holdings are tenancies-at-will, but the
'larger farms are held on better terms. 01 the tenures
in Ulster under £l5 a year, 167,742, out of a total of
194,265, are at will. In Munster there
are 69,423 tenancies-at-will out of a total
of 95,961; in Leinster, 74,287 out of 91,401; and in
gonnaught, 117,483 out of 130,453. Of holdings be-
tween ££ls and £3O, there are in Ulster 26,789 ten-

THE LAND BILL.

A number of " suggessions for amendments" in the
Government tenure measure are now being circulated
j.n Ireland. They affect almost every clause in the
bill. In the first clause it is provided that tenants
"who claim under the Ulster custom cannot claim
under any other provision of the bill. The " sug,ges-
lions " recommend that he have the option of receiving
'compensation either in respect of custom, or of dis-
turbance in occupancy, in addition to compensation
for improvements. Tenants who do not come under
the Ulster custom should have a similar option; if
they relinquish the benefit of custom by accepting a
'lease, they ought to be able to claim for improve-
Jnents also. Any contract that a yearly tenancy
!should be determinable otherwise than by a twelve
-*
mouths' notice to quit, on the last gale day of the calen
:daryear should be void. There are a multitude of ether
amendments, and as many are supported by members
of Parliament, there is likely to be plenty of work in
'committee.

TIIE TEMPERATURE OF LAST MONTH.

Mr. R. 11. Allnatt, of Eastbourne, gives the results
pf his observations on the temperature of last month
in the Times. He questions if there can be found in
the annals of meteorology a month of more abrupt
vicissitudes than that which has just expired. He
says that from the Ist to the Bth the mean tempera-
ture was in daily excess, the range of excess being
from a minimum of 3.7 degrees to the maximum of
6.8 degrees above the mean. Then followed a
period of intense frigidity. On the 9th
the thermometer fell in a few hours from
an excess on the preceding day of 5.8
degrees to a point 6.5 degrees below the computed
average. This, however, was almost the minimum
defalcation, for as the days advanced the cold in-
creased in strength, and on the 12th the temperature
tell to 13.4 degrees below the mean. The morn-
ing register was 24 degrees, and the night
20 degrees; the night, therefore, indicated 12 degrees
of clear frost, that is to say, 12 degrees below 32 de-
grees, the freezing point of Fahrenheit.. Mr. Allnatt
adds that several deaths occurred during the month
from exposure to the cold.

The LORD-ADVOCATE said he believed the matter
required amendment, and therefore he would promise t.
introduce a bill on the subject.
INDIAN RAILWAYS.

Mr. RODEN asked the Under Secretary of State for
India, whether the Government purposed proceeding
without any more delay with the completion of the system
of Indian railways ; and if he would state the total
number of miles the Government proposed to construct,
and the number of miles per annum.
Mr. G. DUFF said the Government were doing all they
could to carry on the construction of railways with the
utmost expedition. One great line was constructed, and
three others were also keing brought forward.

DISSENSION IN THE CAMP.

The Rev. Edwin A. Abbott, who is a member of
,the National Education League, and Mr. H. Fry,
who is the secretary of the London branch, are at
Idirect issue concerning the Government Education
Till. Mr. Abbott cannot understand what the prin-
ciples of the League are. Somewhat angrily he
icomplains that the word unsectarian in the hands of
'the League means "anything," and adds that the
Government measure is calculated to diminish
the importance of sectarian differences. Mr. Fry
smartly retorts that Mr. Abbott should have dis-
covered what the principles of the Leaguewere before
,he joined that society. As to Mr. Forster's bill
diminishing the importance of sectarian differences,
the evidence is everywhere to the contrary. The
Roman Catholics object to it; so do the Dissenters of
Wales. In fact the bill contains so much that is ob-
jectionable, that Mr. Fry believes it will be with-
Arawn at the last moment, albeit he grants there is
gust a possibility that it may be amended.

of St. Juan from 1859 to 1869.

Mr. OTWAY said the information he could give was very
imperfect, and therefore the noble lord had better move
for a return on the subject.

General if it was true that members of stock exchanges in

transmitted by the Post Office telegraphs ; and, whether
they had any advantages which the public did not enjoy
with regard to the payment of messages.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said certain facilities hat
been given to the Stock Fxchanges of London, Liverpool,
and the large towns, and also to the brokers, for the pur-
pose of enabling them to settle their accounts. Those
facilities had been coutinued, but no other preference had
been given to them over other persons.

number of witnesses have been summoned on bath
sides and the greatest interest is evinced in the pro-
ceedings. Some strange revelations are, it is said,
to come out of the recent election. Mr. Martin's
friends have retained an eminent Q.C. Mr. Jus-
tice Fitzgerald will preside.

SHIPWRECK ON THE SUFFOLK COAST

THIS MORNING.

At six o'clock this morning (Friday) the " Sis-
ters" Lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution, and stationed at Pakefield on the Suf-
folk coast (says Mr. John Henderson, the chief
officer of the coastguard at Lowestoft), was launched
to the assistance of the stranded schooner Adelia,
of and for London from Goole, and was happily
the means of rescuing the crew of five meD.

TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES.

Mr. LEA asked the Postmaster-General if he was able
to give an opinion as to what average ti.•ne ought to be
occupied between the reception of a telegraphic message
at any of the chief district post offices of the metropolis,
and its delivery within one mile of the terminal office in
any important town within 200 miles. And if he does not
consider.two hours much too long.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it all depended upon
the state of the wires and the state of business under the
ordinary circumstances mentioned; the time set down•
was too long. The message ought not to occupy much
more than 35 minutes.
MALTA TELEGRAPH.

Mr. EYKYN asked whether her Majesty's Government
had refused permission to the Marseilles, Algiers, and
Malta Telegraph Company to land their cable at Malta ;
and whether her Majesty's Government would lay upon
the table a copy of the convention by which they guaran-
teed £3,000 a year to the Mediterranean Extension Tele
graph Company.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the matter was
still in the course of negotiation, and therefore he could
not give any information. The guarantee was not £.3,000
a year, but unfortunately £7,200. He had no objection to
lay the paper on the table.

EDUCATION.

Mr. CAMPBELL asked the Vice-President of the Privy
Council whether it was intended that under the Elemen•

tary Education Bill all classes of the community should be
free to participate in the school system proposed to be
based upon payment of rates, school fees, and Government
grants.
Mr. FORSTER said he must ask that the Education Bill
might pass Parliament before the additional questions as
to what would be done with regard to the Revised Code.

BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.

The preamble of the Medical Acts Amendment
IBM prepared by Sir John Gray sets forth at length
:that such a measure is necessary, as the provisions of
!the old Acts, though framed with a view to enable
persons requirinc, medical aid to distinguish be-
tween a qualified and unqualified practitioner,
have altogether failed in that respect. The General
Council of Medical Education and Registration will
hereafter have a more centralised power, and a regu-
larly-constituted Board of Examiners under its direc-
tion will it is hoped, go far to do away with existing
abuses wrth regard to the granting of licences to unfit
persons. Mr. Cowper-Temple's bill for the pro-
tection of suburban commons and waste lands in
England takes away the authority of the Commis-
sioners to inclose such places, and allows a scheme
for the local management of any common or waste
land to be made by the lord of the manor, or by any
'ten ratepayers of the parish in which it is situated.
The Sunday Closing Movement culminates in a bill
brought in by Mr. Rylands and others, enacting
shortly that no liquors shall be sold on Sunday,
Christmas-day, or Good Friday, except to travellers
and lodgers.

THE MISSING STEAMSHIP.

Nothing has yet been heard at Liverpool about
the missing steamer City of Boston, which has
a crew of ninety-eight men, and the following
cabin passengers, from New York :—Mrs. M.
Cosgrove, Mr. Ginguene, A. C. Morton, J.Whitta-
ker, four children, and infant ; Dr. Tupper, Allan
Ebbs, wile, child, and infant ; James Adahead,
M. A. Praeger, J. M'Coll, C. P. Archibald, Mr.
Rowland and wife, W. M. Cochrane, James Cos-
grove, Mr. Lawdler, R. J. M'Donald, Duncan
M.Donald, James MAiinnon, F. H. Priewr,
John Leresley, and T. O'Neill. At Halifax she
is said to have embarked a number of pas-
sengers, both cabin and steerage, also troops.
There is some hope that the Canadian mail
steamer now due may have fallen in with her.
The underwriters yesterday demanded sixty
guineas for insuring the City of Boston. At
this premium it was difficult to find insurers.
The ship Blondin, Captain Dudley, which left
New York a few days after the City of Bos-
ton left llalifax, artived yesterday in the Vic-
toria Docks, having had felrful weather the
whole way across. The City of Boston, AI,
belonging to Liverpool, was built in 1864, at Glas-
gow, and surveyed in New York in 1869. She
was of iron, and her draught was 22 feet. She
sailed from Boston on the 28th of January, and has
therefore been thirty-five days out.

A FEMALE PRISONER'S ANTECEDENTS.

At the Middlesex Sessions, Elizabeth Bagwell.
alias Manning, aged 26, was indicted for stealing
upwards of £lB. The antecedents of the lady were
shewn to be of a very extraordinary character. In 1864
she engaged a cabman, and on his calling the following
day at' her request for the fare, gave him a glass of
gin, which rendered him senseless. On recovering
he found that his watch and chain, a gold ring from
his finger, and 4s. in money had been stolen. He
subsequently met the 'prisoner in the street, and on
being charged with the- robbery, she coolly handed
him the pawn-tickets of the articles stolen, stating
that she l:ad bought a new bonnet with the money.
For this offence she was tried at the Middlesex
Court and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude
for seven years, of which two years are unexpired.
On being convicted for that offence it trans-
pired that in 1863 she had been apprehended
for stealing a. twenty pound note from a
medical student whom she had " hocussed " and left
in bed. When taken into custody a certificate of
marriage by special license between herself and a
young midshipman with whom she was in company
was found upon her. This was greatly to the asto-
nishment of the middy, who stated that it was the
first time ho had heard that he was a married man.
He said that in throe days he had spent £lOO on the
woman in jewellery, and that the marriage must have
taken place while he was in a state of unconscious-
ness. His friends got him a ship ; he went to sea,
and has not since been heard of. The medical
student declined to prosecute. She resumed her old
mode of living, and now, turned up again, as stated.
The judge sentenced her to ten years' .penal servi-
tude.

FOOT-WARMEUS.

The question is asked by the Daily 'News whether
the change of weather had anything to do with the
decisive, not to say contemptuous, rejection of Mr.
Plimsoll's bill for compelling railway companies to
provide foot-warmers in second and third-class
carriages. Precautions against biting frost do seem

out of date. It may also be worth -while inquiring
whether members of Parliament, who are not sup-
posed to travel third class, feel such intense. anxiety a
for the comfort of those who do as to pass bill on
their behalf. But there are undoubtedly strong
arguments against such a measure, and in the opinion
of the Daily .News, those arguments• are con-
clusive. If shareholders are . alive to their interests
they will insist upon doing voluntarily what Mr.
Plimsoll would use force to effect. "If any one of
two competing lines wishes for a monopoly of the
traffic, let it act on Mr. Plimsoll's suggestion, adver-
tise that all its carriages aro warmed, and see what
will be the result."
