MUSICAL AND THEAMICAL MEMS.

(From the Musical Standard).
Most of the French Municipal Councils have re-
duced the annual subsidies granted by them to the
opera houses.

Hasselt has an ancient musical society which ham
just celebrated the three hundred and fiftieth anni-
versary of its foundation.

A brass double bassoon, called the " Helikon,"
has been introduced into the orchestra of the Phil-
harmonic Society of Brussels.
M. Alexandre Prevost, the organist of St. Roch,
has received the Ottoman Order of the Medjidie—
a strange decoration for a Church official.

More Saturday evening concerts are announced ;
Mr. John Boosey being the entrepeneur, and St.
James's Hall the scene of action.

At the second series of Exeter Hall Saturday
evening concerts, oratorios and cantatas, as well as
operatic selections, will be performed.

Mr. Ramsden, of Leeds, is exhibiting a melody
harmonium (fitted with a contrivance which he
styles the "patent pedal substitute"), ordered by
the Queen, and shortly to be sent to Balmoral.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Thu Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE C. A. PULLER.

This morning an application was made on behalf
of a creditor named Williams, that an order should
be granted to issue execution against the debtor,
notwithstanding the registration of a deed of com-
position, providing for the payment to creditors of
one shilling in the pound. It had been shown that
the assets of the debtor were sufficient to pay a
composition of at least seven shillings in the pound.
The chief answer to the motion was that the credi-
tor had delayed coming into Court for a period of
,ver eight months. The Chief Judge, in an
elaborate decision, reviewed the whole of the
:acts and the law as aFecting deeds of registra-
; and held that this was a deed which could
not be sustained. His lordship has therefore
issued an order that it should be declared invalid
;tnd fraudulent; that the registration should be
cancelled; and that the creditor thould be allowed
to proceed upon his judgment. Notice of appeal
was given.

A meeting of the Dagenham (Thames) Dock
Company will be held on the 15th inst., to submit
to the proprietors for their approval a bill to be in-
troduced into Parliament, for the suspension of
legal proceedings against the undertaking, and for
authorising its transfer.

ARMY AND NAVY INTELLIGENCE.

A Government officer has received summary justice at
the hAnds of his employers. Mr. Baxter, M.P., the
Financial Secretary of the Admiralty, and Mr. Bristow,
the Admiralty solicitor, attended on Thursday at the
Royal Victoria Yard, Deptford, and held an inquiry as to
the conduct of one of the foremen of stores there. The
application by the foreman to one of the contractors of the
Admiralty for a douceur, or bribe, was clearly proved, and
ultimately admitted by the accused, and Mr. Baxter (after
stating that the case closely approximated to a criminal
charge, and was a class of conduct which the present
Bard of Admiralty and himself had determined to root
out and visit with the severest punishment) discharged
the offender from the service. _

With regard to the reductions, the Army and Navy
Gazette mentions that it has been decided that each regi-
ment of cavalry is to be reduced by half a squadron at the
commencement of the next financial year, and says that
though it does not wish to say a word against the
reduction of depOt battalions, reduction might
surely be carried out with some consideration for the
officers concerned. These officers, looking upon the depot
as a permanent institution, have made their household
arrangements of an abiding nature. The married
men have taken houses on a lease, and hired
furniture by the quarter, and so on, not anticipating
such speedy removals as they have lately been
subjected to. The same paper learns from unimpeachable
authority that Lord Napier of Magdala, before accepting
the command-in-chief, took steps to record officially at
the India office his entire disapproval of the proposed re-
duction of the European regiments stationed in India.
Notwithstanding the reductions, no regimental officers
y disbanded will be placed on
hwahlofspeacyo.rps are not wholly
As we are often abused in France for -not having done
away with the "cat," we (Army and llaty Gazette) were
somewhat astonished to see, the other day, that this
ultinza ratio had been applied to some French convicts who
had indulged in a row at Toulon on the day before embark-
ing for New Caledonia. Five of the ringleaders were
flogged before being sent on board the Sibylle.
It is understood that it is the intention of the War
Office, after the commencement of the next financial
year, to take- steps for filling up the vacancies amongst
the officers of the Militia. If Mr. Cardwell carries
out this object satisfactorily, ho will, indeed, deserve the
thanks, not only of the Militia themselves, but of the
sountry at large.
A report has been very persistently circulated in quar-
ters usually well-informed during the past week that it
was the intention of the Government to organise tempo-
rary camps on Salisbury Plain and elsewhere on an ex-
tended scale during the period of the present year's
training of the militia. We (Broad Arrow) believe these
reports to bo devoid of foundation. The usual period of
year for the Militia training would be quite inappropriate
for the commencement of such a system.

A STORM IN A TEA-POT.

The Rev. J. W. Earnshard, the minister of
church at Birkenhead, is evidently a gentleman who
believes in being particular about small matters. He
recently found a lozenge with his offertory alms. He
was astounded. The criminal who could be wicked
enough to commit a deed so desperate as
putting sweetmeats amongst the money devotee
to benevolent purposes must be sought out and
admonished. Nor would finding and reproving 13,)
enough for him; he must be made an example.
His name might be suppressed, but only
for once—not again. On the church doors
last Sunday appeared a notice, calling attention
to the enormity of the offence—" trifling with
Almighty God, to whom the offerings are dedicated.*
" For the future (proceeds the placard) should any
person be detected in a similar offence, the name of
the offending party will be posted at the church door
for four successive weeks." What a punishment far
a trifle

REVISED EDITION OF TEE STATUTES.

The first instalment of a revised edition of the
Statutes has been issued by the Queen's Printers, and
very shortly the whole of the existing statute-
law will be embraced in a new series. These
works have formerly been very bulky and
expensive, one edition extending to 120 volumes •
whereas the present edition will only comprise about
twenty volumes, and a chronological table and index
will render easy any reference to it. The obsolete
and repealed Acts found in former volumes will be
absent from the revised edition, which will be wel-
comed by all who have occasion to make use of it,
-,vhilst at the same time the old works will still be
useful for historical researches.

THE GOVERNMENT LICENSING MEASURE.

Mr. Stansfeld was right when he said, the °the,
day, that the Government wore engaged upon a
licensing bill ; he was equally correct when he pre.
sumed that Ministers had not yet put their finishing
touches to it. The Cabinet is still con•
sidering the matter ; and Mr. Bruce is getting
what information he can. 110 has sent to the
Mayor of Liverpool, and obtained from him the sug-
gestions for legislation made by the joint committee
of local magistrates and town councillors now more
than two years ago. The Liverpool Mercury says
it is not improbable that the Ministerial pro-
posals will be somewhat on the plan of those
made in Liverpool. The amateur legislators drew up
clauses restricting the hours of trafc on week days
from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; on Sundays, from 1 p.m. to
3 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.; and gave power
to local authorities to close public-houses altogether
on the Sunday, if they thought proper to do so.

Politics at Nottingham are still in a state of uncou

to stand for the seat left vacant by the retirement of
Colonel Wright, albeit some pressure is being
exerted to induce him to do so. Should he persist in
this decision, it is thought that Mr. 11. S. Wright,
brother of the retiring member, will come forward in
the Conservative interest.

SCIENTIFIC INbTRUCTION.

The following sppeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evening:—
A. deputation, consisting of members of the
Council of the British Association for the Advance-
ment of Science, waited on the Lord President
of the Council and the Right Hou. W. E. Forster,
M.P., to urge upon them the appointmentof a Royal
Commission to inquire into the relations of the
State to scientific instruction and investigation, and
to represent to them the conviction of the Council
that no such inquiry will be complete which does
not include the action of the State in relation to
scientific education, and the effects of that action
upon independent educational institutions.
After hearing the members of the deputation,
Earl De Grey said the appointment of a commis-
sion was, a matter upon which he could not give an
answer himself, for he must, of course, consult his
colleagues. He was sure they would give the
matter the most careful consideration to any re-
presentation from so influential a body as that now
before him.

_ -
A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR.

Mr. Eykyn? the member for Windsor, intends to
introduce a bill for the appointment of a public pro-
secutor next Session. Informing a meeting
of his constituents of this determination, he
said that England was about the only country
en the face of the earth which had not
such functionaries. Scotland had them, and the
rules and regulations of that province were well
worth considering here. So we are to have a little
more borrowing from Scotland. It is generally pre-
sumed, however, that after the open declaration of
the Lord Chief Justice at the Overend, Gurney, and
Co.. trial, not to speak of the complaints from
minor legal personages, the Government will itself
assume the duty bf providing a public prosecutor.

A DEPARTED LITERARY WORTHY.

13y the death of the Rev. Charles Townsend,
rector of Kingston-by-the-Sea, we have lost one of
.the last members of the literary circle which used to
meet at Holland House in the early part of
the present century. He was a personal
friend of Lord Byron, Samuel Rogers, Horace
and James Smith, (the authors of "Rejected Ad.
dresses,") William Stuart Rose, Wordsworth, the
historianHallam, Mr. J. G. Lockhart, the late Lord
Holland, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Sir F. Chanbrey,
and other eminent literary men of the time. He
was admirably read in ancient and modern classics,
was a most witty writer of epigrams in ancient and
modern languages, and no mean poet. His little living,
the smallest in Sussex, given him by the late Lord
Egremont, with whom he was a special favourite, he
could never be persuaded to give up for wealthier
preferment. He has died at the ripe age of 80 years.

EMIGRANTS TO TEE UNITED STATES.

The Rev. Harry Jones, in a letter to the Times,
calls attention to an admirable arrangement, by
which the Commissioners of the State of New York
undertake, for the payment of about 6s a head on
all aliens landed, to provide for any sick,
destitute, or unemployed emigrants for five
years after their arrival. A similar plan would be
worthy of adoption in the British colonies. The cost
is virtually paid by the emigrants; it only
forms a small addition to their passage•
money, and more than covers the expense incurred
by the authorities, as is shown by the fact of. the
New York Commissioners having a balance of a con-
siderable amount in the bank at the end of 1808,
after fulfilling all their engagements to the
emigrants on their bands. cThe certainty of
being cared for on reaching a new land
is naturally a great encouragement to the in-
tending settler. lie generally gets work soon, but
in case of misfortune it is a great advanta-e to be
suro of a provision being made for him by the
Slate.

COMMUNICATION DETWF.E.N ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

The Echo says that Sir Edward Watkin is pro-
ceeding to Paris to further the work of improved
communication between this country and the Con-
tinent. It is unfortunately just where the
sea-passage is shortest that the harbour
arrangements on the French coast are the most de-
fective. In the exposed harbour of Boulogne the
delays and irregularities resulting from the tides are
so great, that some time
.since a project
was_ started by English 19114-s9* .99.P111

A SUCCESSOR TO CALCRAFT.

The increasing age of Calcraft has rendered it desirable
that a successor to his unenviable post should be provided.
The fact that there was likely to be a vacancy in this de-
partment of public service having become generally known
as many as 134 candidates applied for the office, one of them
being a stalwart labourer in the Devonport Dockyard named
Toll, who resides with his wife atlVilton-street, Stoke,and
has been employed in the dockyard for many years, earning
now 15s. per week. .Seven of the volunteers were selected,
from whom the final choice is to he made, and the Devon-
port man was among the number. It was generally
rumoured in the dockyard on Thursday that he had been
successful in obtaining the appointment, but we are not
in a position to state positively if he has yet received
"her Majesty's commission." Toll has no family, and
is now working in the boathouse as a Labourer. He is
popularly known as a "clever pig killer," having fol-
lowed that avocation before entering the dockyard.—

1/4' continuous right of occupation," subject to evic-
tion only for non-payment of rent. In a
second resolution it declares for the regulation of
rent by an impartial and independent tribunal. In a
third it recognises the tenant's privilege, in case of
Ejection, to sell his right of occupancy as well as un- I
exhausted improvements. And, lastly, local tri-
tianala are to. be, constituted with, rower to arant

sites tor labourers' houses, suitable lots of land beizig
attached to each site.

BILIIBES FROM CONTRACTORS.

Mr. Baiter, the Financial Secretary to the Admi-
ralty, has made an example at the Royal Victoria
Yard, Deptford. _ A foreman of stores was on
Thursday charged with receiving a bribe from one
of the contractors. The matter was fully inquired
into, the guilt of the offender clearly proven, and
he was dismissed from her Majesty's service. A few in-;
flictions 9f this kind may probably do something
to check a 'moral disease which seems to be eating
into the pubic service in all directions. Bribes
which may have influence in securing certain contracts,
bribes which contractors delusively imagine will
benefit them, and bribes to enable work to be scamped,
are all more or less common. Only the other day
Mr. Baxter told a story about a few grains of mustard
seed that were always to be found in a certain sample
of wheat, which sample was invariably the one
selected.

MR. 311INTZ ON THE STATE OF TRADE.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Muntz, M.P., offered
some remarks on the state of trade. He said
that English merchants wore feeling the pres-
sure of foreign competition more than ever.
On every hand he found England was losing ground,
and that foreigners were making progress in the race
against her. He was not, however, inclined to
despair. When they looked at the energy, skill,
determination, and r3sources of the English people,
he was quite sure, if these wore properly applied, they
could hold their own with the rest of the world.
He observed that one serious drawback suffered by
English manufacturers was the system of workmen
charging trade extras. For a slight deviation in the
form or size or thickness of an article an increase of
wages was demanded. This in the case of large con-
tracts was a serious consideration. In no other
country had he met with such a practice. The
speaker cited a case that had come under his own
observation where a large order for iron had been
given over to a Belgian manufactnrer solely on account
of trade extras.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1870.

THE record of the year 1870 is certainly far from
cheering, and as it draws towards its close the pros-
pect grows darker instead of more encouraging.
The faint hope of peace which glimmered across the
political horizon a few days since:has passed abso-
lutely away, leaving us all the more dreary for its
passage. Even the habitual festivities which en-

liven' the ninth of a London November shared in the
general - gloom, and the almost impenetrable fog
which enveloped London during half the day would
in any case have materially derogated from the
brilliancy of Lord Mayor's Day. At the grand
eitizthl banquet of the year the Ministers were, as
usual, present, and eager listeners hung on their
lightest word. It was no longer a'question of an
Irish Land Bill or of Church Diseitablishment—

SCHOOL BOARDS.

Mr. John Stuart Mill has been discussing the con-
stitution of School Boards with the residents of
Greenwich. He observes with reason there is
some ground for apprehending that the religious
question may absorb public attention, and that while
persons are contending for denominational or secular
instruction, they may lose sight of every other point.
One class of individuals he would exclude altogether
from School Boards—those who think the poor must
not be too much educated. In education, says Mr.
Mill, there is no such thing as too much, though, of
course, it is desirable to begin with the most useful.
Intelligent Americans attribute the low rate of
pauperism in their country to the fact that every
workman, being educated, can turn his hand to any-
thing. Mr. Mill holds that it is insufficient to teach
a man how to read unless you give him a taste
for • reading, and in this respect be thinks
the Scotch parochial schools have been especially
Successful. He thinks those candidates are to be dis-
trusted who are anxious to increase the number rather
than to improve the quality of schools. He wont,
like to see a proportion of women on the School
Boards, as there are girls to educate as well
as boys, and women have not only more experience,
but more practical ability in the teaching of
young children. Working men, too, aro indispen-
sable, if the Board is to be thoroughly efficient and
popular. No class is more in earnest about educa-
tion, or more free from party purposes. In conclusion,
Mr. Mill counsels his hearers not to select their
representatives too exclusively from the residents
in their own districts. The constitution of the
School Boards is creating some excitement
at present. Mr. Duiley Baxter foresees two possible
difficulties which make him refuse to pledge himself
in favour of the Bible instruction which Mr. Girdle-
stone and his supporters require. A rate-supported
school may be situated in a Catholic locality and be
mainly supported by Catholics, or a Catholic school
may be transferred to the School Board. In either
case Mr. Baxter does not see how Bible teaching
can be insisted on.

CAPTURE OF A PRUSSIAN BARQUE.

A smacksman who arrived in Yarmouth on Wednesday
reports that while in the North Sea a few days ago he
witnessed the capture of the Prussian barque Der Turner
by a French ironclad. After an exciting chase the
Frenchman came up with the barque and boarded her,
and having left an officer and a number of men on board
to take the vessel into a French port, the ironclad steamed
away. The barque was believed to be from Dantzic for
Aberdeen with flax.

MURDER NEAR SHIELDS.

A murder, which appears to have been unprovoked,
was committed on Wednesday in the village of Heb-
burnquay on the Tyne. Michael Delaney, employed at
the large works of Messrs. Leslie and Co., went to his
house under the influence of drink, and without any
provocation struck his wife several blows on the head,
and then threw her down some steep stairs. She fell
heavily, and expired almost immediately. Information
was given to the police, but Delaney had decamped. He
is supposed to be hiding on the other side of the river, but
no trace of him has been discovered.

In a congregation holden yesterday morning, at Oxford,
the following gentlemen, who had been nominated to the
important offices of public examiners and moderators were
submitted and approved :—Public examiners : M. Patter-
son, Lincoln ; J. R. Magrath, Queen's ; J. E. S. Rogers,
Magdalen Hall ; and C.P. Faulkner, University College.
Moderators : W, Baker, St. John's; G. Marshal, Christ

THE BRITISH CHURCHMAN.

The November Number will show subscribers that the Literary
Staff of this periodical is quite prepared to encounter all the
enemies of the faith. Whether on Geological and other
Scientific questions or Bit Zeal Criticism, or on the subjects
assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere
atheistical and bb‘spheming demagogue, and by which many of
the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the
Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or
heretics claiming a position within the Church, will be met
with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised
a special set of strictly Scientific Article's on Geology, Natural
History and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in
connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Dr.
Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent
answer. At the same time all candid opponents, misled by
false teaching, but sincerely inquiring after truth, will be
treated with forbearance and respect, and willingly aided in
their search.

TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,-1 present myself as a Candidate
for Election to the London School Board as one of the
Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively
advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For
twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of
the people ; and have all that time been in the habit of expres-
sing my opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which
have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being.
I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub-
lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the
new Education Council.
I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and afn not specially
supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly
on my known participation in the political progresses of the last
twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of DM is
the most important.
Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of
election,

I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
