CASE OF MR. HOSKINS.

Mr. Bess asked the Secretary of State for War whether
any representations had been made to the War Office or
Horse Guards by Colonel Smyth, or any other person or
persons, affecting or reffecting upon the choracter of Mr.
Abraham Hoskins, surgeon, of Birmingham, who had
been dismissed from the appointment he held in-connec-
tion with the barracks and recruits at Birmingham.

Mr. CARDWELL said no complaint or imputation had
reached him or the other gentleman mentioned. The
change had arisen solely through the introduction of new
regulations, under which the examination of recruits was
made by army medical 'officers.

That to be an orphan is'the most fortunate condi.

tion for a child seems a strange expression ; but there
can be no doubt that when the orphan is also a
pauper, it is strictly true. Several of the inspectors
of schools, treating of pauper.education, give testimony
of this effect. Mr. Bowyer says that the. cause of almost
all the evil in pauper children, who on the whole
possess many good qualities which classes above
them might envy, is far more the bad influence and
example of their own parents than that of the other
inmates. Parents often leave the workhouse in the
summer, taking their families with them, and then the
children are more than ever exposed to this contamina-
tion. Other inspectors say much the same thing. The
bane of pauper children is the power the parents
possess of removing them from school, and this
power they exercise .with -Lie most criminal and
reckless indifference to the welfare of their miserable
offspring. The orphans, on the other hand, may be
regarded as children of the State. It is sad to see
children suffer for not being orphans.

THE LAITY AND THE CHURCH.

The Telegraph does not perceive that Lord Sandon's
scheme of
,parochial councils is necessarily a one-sided
-aleasure. Jaw powers which he desires to grant might be
used for or against either of the two chief ecclesi-
astical parties. There are many places in which the Ri-
tualists would be glad to accept the authority of elected
sidesmen, because they believe themselves strong enough to
secure the election of men belonging to their own party.
Throughout the debate of Tuesday the admission came freely
from both sides of the House, that something should be
done to repress the miserable dissensions which even
minute changes of- ceremony and decoration provoke
in a parish. The causes for which parson and people
are occasionally set together by the ears are incon-
ceivably trivial. Some Sunday morning, without
previous announcemen_t, he appears in the pulpit
in a white surplice. Half of the congregation there-
upon rise from their seats in a rage, and quit the
church with noisy show of anger. The cause of
quarrel is pitiful in the last degree. The robe that was
good enough for the prayers may be accounted good
enough for the sermon ; while it is not the colour of the
garment that can much matter, one way or the other. Yet
many honest people work themselves into the belief that
in fighting for the black gown or the white surplice they
are hearing witness to some sublime truth.

The Daily News thinks the weak point of Lord San-
don's bill is that it makes no provision for the, case of the
minority of a parish. At present, in towns sufficiently
large, a Churchman persecuted in one parish may flee to
another. But there are towns where there are laymen
enough to form a good congregation, whose preferences
are not shared by a majority of any one of the parishes
into which it is divided. It is idle to suppose that
they will not take some measures for supplying what
they want ; but this bill does nothing for them. It is not
certain that the rule of a majority in a parish, perhaps a
narrow majority, which there may be a hope of.supplant-
ing at an early date, will be more tolerable than that of
an individual who has an interest in conciliating all
parties. Of course, a state of divided opinion cannot be
allowed to arrest all collective action; and practical
decisions must be taken. But the News ventures to think
it would be well for Lord Sandon and those who agree
with him, to consider how far it is wise in these days of
divergent opinion to group Churchmen of the most oppo-
site viows together according to a mere territorial circum-
scription ; or if the parochial system be deemed too valu-
able for administrative purposes to be abandoned, how far
the rights of minorities might be secured without greater
danger to unity than exists at present, by recogmsing a
modified congregationalism in the Church of England.

THE POLICE AND THE NEWARK ACCIDENT.

Mr. Thomas Earp, Mayor of Newark, with a
promptness and sense of justice which do him credit,
has made a searching inquiry into the. infamous
charge brought against the Newark policemen,
namely, of robbing the bodies of the people killed in
the late accident. The result of Mr. Earp's conduct
has justified his worship and his brother magistrates
in believing that all the allegations were unfounded.
Mr. AN ilson's missing watch has been for several days
safe in the custody of a friend in London, so
has the insurance ticket supposed to have
been abstracted from the body of a
lady named Robinson. The purse, which with nearly
£4O was missed from Major K. Hurst!s body, was at
the opening of the inquest a day or two after the
accident, handed by the police to the deceased
gentleman's solicitor. Mr. Earp has discovered that
ao far from despoiling the sufferers of their property,
the constables were indefatigable in their efforts to
secure it, and that one act of theirs, namely the
taking off of a lady's rings in order to number them
similarly as the remains were numbered, was con-
strued into an act of heartless pillage, when it
was to prevent this that it was under-
taken. The Mayor of Newark rests satisfied that
the policemen of the town have made themselves

THE MAGAZINES FOR JULY.

BLICKWOOD is chiefly remarkable this month for its
giving the conclusion of its homely serial story of "John.'
As a supplementary paper it has at its close a reprint of
the note appended to the second edition of the number of
Maga for June, anent that slashing review of " Lothair,"
now very generally attribUted to Colonel Hamlet', Edi-
tor of the " Art of War," and author of " Lady Lee's
Widowhood."

The Gentleman's contains to our mind the most charm-
ing, certainly the most tenderly appreciative, tribute that
has anywhere been offered as yet to the radiant genius of
Charles Dickens. It is contributed by Blanchard Jerrold,

and gives eloquent expression to the grief and love and
admiration at this moment in the hearts of so many.
Every one to whom the memory of Charles Dickens is dear

—and to whom is it not ?—should turn to this exquisite
memorial chapter in which the son of Douglas Jerrold
commemorates Douglas Jerrold's beloved friend and inti-
mate companion. The majority of those who read thi
paper in the Gentleman's Magazine will, we doubt not,
treasure it up afterwards as a remembrance. Elsewhere we
give some extracts from Blanchard Jerrold's own per-
sonal recollections .of the great, good author, whose
chief glory in literature is that he is the first of all
Humourists.

The Cornhill, we grieve to say, closes this month what
has long been its chief attraction—the brilliant serial
story by Charles Reade, " Put Yourself in his Place."
It is a work worthy of the writer's genius, and
contains some of his finest creations, as also
some of his most splendidly realistic descriptions.
The flood at the end is magnificent. One of Mr. Millais'
noblest pictures in this year's Academy Exhibition, it now
turns out, is illustrative of an incident in this catas-
trophe. The hero and heroine of Charles Reade's last
tale will long live in our remembrance.
Several other magazines have already also come to
hand, among them Miss Braddon's Belgravia, Arthur
A'Beckett's Britannia, Colburn's United Ser riae,
the Month, Le Follet, and London Society. The last-
mentioned closes with a copy of verses by Walter Thorn-
bury, entitled " Taking a Header," the closing words of
which have a wonderful comic effect.

ACQUIRING LAW.

The difficulty of getting prisoners tried at Bow-
street removed into the van has been increasing for
some time, and Mr. Vaughan, on Tuesday, took occa-
sion to comment upon the matter. It is the habit of
the friends of the prisoners to place every obstacle .in
the way of the officers of the court while performing
their duty, and lately the offenders have been brought
before the magistrates and fined. Beyond this, how-
ever, much of the inconvenience arises from
the unsuitability of the court itself. The only
approach is a long narrow passage,which is generally
packed to suffocation. The hall has standing room
for about 80 persons, and sitting accommodation for
a few barristers and solicitors. But those seats are
almost daily occupied by a number of young
gentlemen, candidates for Civil Service appoint-
ments, who are sent by the commissioners to acquire
an insight into the mode of conducting criminal business.
Very praiseworthy of the young gentlemen, no
doubt, but hardly satisfactory to the unfortunate
officials, who are so cramped for space, and who live
in terror of losing their prisoners while conveying
them to the prison van.
London, England, 1870-06-30

COTTAGES WANTED FOR IRELAND.

It is regretted by some that the Duke of Rich-
mond should propose to expunge from the Irish Land
Bill the clause permitting the erection of one cottage
on every 25 acres. The want of proper accommo-
dation for our labouring classes has long been loudly
complained of in England, and certainly the grie-
vance is not less burdensome in the sister country.
Mr. Rochefort, a resident in Ireland, points out that
great mischief has already been done by the increas-
ing tendency to clear estates of labourers, and
to send them and their families into the
nearest towns. This is owing partly to the action of the
Poor Law, partly to the landlord's desire to abolish
small holdings and encourage large farms. The
spread of Fenianism among the labouring population
is also -attributable to, the sudden transfer of a rural
population to the vicinity of public-houses and other
town temptations, the miserable rooms they are
forced to live in offering them strong inducements
to disloyalty and intemperance. The system tends
also to foster the emigration of the able-
bodied labourer whomlreland could usefully employ in
tilling her fields, and who, if he were properly
housed and cared for, would gladly remain at home.
The concentration of the masses in the towns and
villages renders the, work of combination and secret
organisation easy fOr the Fenian agents, especially
as the ousted cottagers are chafing against what they
believe to be the harshness and injustice of their
landlords.

TUB CORK RIOTS.

It is believed that the continuance of rioting at
Cork is to be traced more to the ill-feeling against

SPECIAL lIIBIES.

The great inconvenience occasioned to bankers,
merchants, and others engaged in mercantile pursuits
by the mode in whieh grand jurymen are chosen,
has long been regarded as a grievance, and though
the subject has frequently been brought before the
authorities, no reform has been attempted.
A. gentleman complains that leaving out of
question the many summonses for special
juries received by him during the past
year, within the last ten days no less than
four documents of the same kind have been served
upon him either at his place of business or at his pri-
vate residence. According to the account given by
the gentleman the manner of selecting grand jurymen
isnot verycomplicated ; but it might be improved upon
in so far that those who either reside or are in business
in the immediate vicinity of the sheriff's office, should
not be asked to devote the greater part of their time
to considering bills of indictment.

NAZARETH HOUSE..

finger.

Viscount ENFIELD asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether it be true that in consequeuce of the extra
assessment made upon the building known as Nazareth
House, Hammersmitn, inhabited by a religious body
called " The Sisters of the Poor," not being paid, the
Guardians of the Poor of the Hammersmith Union had
seized upon all the furniture and bedding of the inmates
of that charitable institution ; and whether he was of
opinion that assessment committees should not exercise
greater forbearance in laying extra burdens of local
taxation upon religious and charitable institutions.
Mr. GOSCHEN said he had no official information of the
extra assessment and seizure of the goods at Nazareth
House. He had seen the public papers and the accounts
published, but the Poor-law Board had no
power to interfere with respect to the values
put on rateable property. As it was stated that seizure
was made by the guardians there might be some mistake,
as the guardians of the poor did not levy the rate ; that
was done by the overseers, and they must be held
responsible. As to the degree of forbearance that
ought to be exercised, he had to say the board had no
locus standi with respect to the matter of rating property.
If the noble lord was desirous of obtaining his opinion
with regard to the exemption of religious bodies from cer-
tain taxation, he should be quite ready to state it when
the motion of the hon. member for Birmingham came on

for discussion. Any statement made now might only lead
to misapprehension.

IRISH EDUCATION.

Sir F. HEyGATE asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether, considering that the report and evidence by the
Royal Commissioners of Irish Primary Education had
been yet only partly issued, and the importance and diffi-
culty of the subject, the Government would state that
they had no intention of altering the present system in
the next session of Parliament ; and, in the event of
such being the case, whether they would take into imme-
diate consideration the present inadequate remuneration
of the national school teachers in Ireland.
Mr. GLADSTONE said he was not much wiser by the

labours of the Commission, as he had not yet been enabled
to read the report, and therefore he was quite unable
to give any assurance on the subject. It was
certainly not the present intention to make any alteration
in the matter of Irish national education, neither was it
intended to make any proposal with a view to the increase
in the payment of the national school teachers. It would
not be advisable to state anything until the whole sub-
ject came before the House.

THE WIMBLEDON MEETING.

The opening of the camp at Wimbledon is always
looked forward to by the volunteers with interest,
and the programme of the meeting is scanned with
as much care and subjected to as much criticism as
though the volunteer movement depended upon the
great rifle competition. True, it is one of the
features of that national organisation, which
was born of intense patriotism, and it affords
an opportunity for the various corps in the
kingdom to meet and try conclusions in a friendly
spirit; but that it is essential to the life of the
volunteer movement, is not the prime consideration.
Beyond the relaxation, which is admittedly the
product of a not too severe training, we are dis-
posed to regard the social side of the question as one
of infinitely greater importance than mere success in
efficiency. The bringing together of a large body
of young men, belonging to the various grades that
constitute English society, was
,a difficult feat ; but
that the esprit de corps should have so welded them
together as to call into play those feelings of regard
and attachment which, when attainable, are the soul
of national stability, is a matter to be looked upon
with sincere gratulation. The Wimbledon
meeting is announced to begin on the 9th
of July, and, as usual, the prize-list is a long one.
The Queen's Cup is the most important, both for its
intrinsic value and for the honour which it confers
upon the winner. The Prince of Wales's Prize, the
Alexandra Prize, the St. George's Vase, and others,
the enumeration of which would occupy too much
space, will, no doubt, tend to cause much emulation.
There are various All Corners' Prizes, and should
our Belgian friends pay us a visit they will receive
as hearty a greeting as they did before.

dation for our labouring classes has long been loudly
complained of in England, and certainly the grie-
vance is not less burdensome in the sister country.
Mr. Rochefort, a resident in Ireland, points out that
great mischief has already been done by the increas-
ing tendency to clear estates of labourers, and
to send them and their families into the
nearest towns. This is owing partly to the action of the
Poor Law, partly to the landlord's desire to abolish
small holdings and encourage largo farms. The
spread of Fenianism among the labouring population
is also attributable to the sudden transfer of a rural
population to the vicinity of public-houses and other
town temptations, the miserable rooms they are
forced to live in offisring them strong inducements
to disloyalty and intemperance. The system tends
also to foster the emigration of the able-
bodiedlabourer whomlreland could usefully employ in
tilling her fields, and who, if he were properly
housed and cared for, would gladly remain at home.
The concentration of tLe masses in the towns and
villages renders the work of combination and secret
organisation easy for the Fenian agents, especially
as the ousted cottages are chafing against what they
believe to be the harshness and injustice of their
landlords.

APPREHENSION FOR A MURDER IN 1868.

A man named Jeremiah Loomey was apprehended at
Openshaw, near Manchester, on Tuesday, charged with
the murder of Patrick Desmond, by stabbing, in a public-
house brawl at Deptford, in August, 1868. The prisoner,
who had been living in Lancashire, under an assumed
name, was discovered through a correspondence which he
carried on with his mother at Deptford, which was inter-
cepted by the police.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The drought in France has become very serious—in fact
almost unparalleled. Three months of uninterrupted fine
weather have hardened the soil and scorched up the roots
of the forage crops. The harvest of these crops has been
of the scantiest sort in the most fortunate places, and has
amounted to nothing in those districts which suffered
the most severely. Already it is predicted that
the oats will fail as well as the hay and
thus the horses will lose another source of supply. The
grain will be more scarce and dear than ever, and the
chances are no better with respect to the root crops.
Such a want of provisions has led to a reduction in the
number of cattle, while a general cry of distress is
heard through the districts, which are the most affected.
Beasts have been sold for next to nothing. Proprietors
and farmers not knowing how to feed them have got rid
of them as best they might; in some cases abandoning
them to their fate. Such a reduction in the price of cattle
would lead, one would suppose, to a diminution in the
price of meat, but on the contrary, the butchers are
resolved to turn the general loss to account and derive
from thence an individual profit. During the last month,
while the prices of cattle have been rapidly decreasing in
value, the cost of meat has increased, although it was
previously raised to an exorbitant sum. The public natu-
rally feel indignant and make protests against the extor-
tion but to little purpose, since all end in paying the ex-
travagant sum which is claimed.
A correspondent of the Eastern Budget has the follow-
ing c—" The prospects c f the corn harvest in all parts of
Austria and Hungary are still excellent, but the news
from the vineyards are not so good. It is expected that
the vintage will be only a middling one as regards quan.
tity ; what will be its quality cannot be determined until
the autumn. Whether the favourable harvest will cause
a large exportation of corn must depend solely on
the state .of the French market, now that the
English crops have been so much improved by the recent
change in the weather. Hungary will have a large quan-
tity of wheat and maize to dispose of, but she will not be
in a position to sell at low, or even moderate prices, for
wages in Hungary, especially in favourable years, are
much too high, and the charge for the conveyance of corn
by rail is very heavy. Oats, which would probably fetch
high prices in England with the present scarcity of green
food, are Comparatively little cultivated in Hungary, but
large quantities will doubtless be exported from Bohemia
and Moravia."

The Belfast News Letter gives a very cheering account
of the state of the crops in the North of Ireland, and
states that, simultaneously with the promise of an
abundant harvest, there has been a decided improvement
in trade during the last three weeks.
The Cornish potato crop is turning out remarkably well
this year.

THE UNIVERSITY CRICKET MATCH.

The contest between the Oxford and Cambridge
elevens adds another to the long list of close matches
played during this fine cricket season. It was the
closest and best ever fought between the two Univer-
sities. Oxford went in with 179 runs set them to win :
160 were put on for the loss of five wickets, and any
odds were offered on Oxford. But the other five
players were all out before the remaining nineteen
runs had been gained. At 176 Oxford had only three
runs to get, and three batsmen to get them with.
Yet they tailed : Mr. Butler was caught off the first
ball he received from Mr. Cobden ; Mr. Belcher was
bowled with the following one ; and with the -last
ball of the over Mr. Stewart was disposed of. Such
a finish of wild excitement was never before
seen at a cricket match. The two sides were of very
equal strength, but Oxford had the advantage in
bowling, and was indeed, in the opinion of the best
judges, the stronger eleven of the two. The manner
of their defeat was certainly a marvellous piece of
good fortune for Cambridge. The Cantabs have
now won a majority of the whole number of matches
played. They were victorious in 1869, 1868, and
1867 ; in the four previous years Oxford tri-
umphed.

THE GRIEVANCES OF INDIAN OFFICERS.

The grievances of Indian officers, says the Times, have
once more been the subject of a warm debate and an eager
Division. The personal difficulties incident to an organic
change in a great system of administration have never
been more signally illustrated than in this inveterate
quesbion. Twelve years have passed since the old Indian.
Army was transferred to the Crown, subject to a provi-
sion that "individuals should have transferred to them
all the rights, privileges, and expectations which they
were led to form at the time of their admission to the
service." Eight years later, afterreports from two Commis-
sions, Lord Cranborne, now Lord Salisbury, proposed an
arrangement by which it was believed at the time this
guarantee would be effectually fulfilled, and that, as far
as the House was concerned, this thorny and disagree-
able subject " was closed. Yet after the lapse of another
four years Colonel Sykes is still with undiminished ardour
demanding redress for his clients, and another address to
the Crown is carried against another Government, in
which it is roundly. asserted that " her Majesty's orders
have not been carried out in the sense of the address " of
1865. Such a state of things is neither creditabfe
nor advantageous to the country. It is impossible
to satisfy every one in effecting such an extensive
change as that of 1858 ;" but we owe it to ourselves and
to a numcer of gallant public servants to remove all sub-
stantial ground of dissatisfaction, and after every allow-
ance has been made for misconceptions, the fact of such
An address as that of Tuesday night having been carried
is sufficient indication that some substantial grievance
still remains. If the actual position of the officers be
considered, it will be seen they have more than a " slen-
der case," and it concerns the credit of the Government
and the nation to fulfil the promise made to them, that
their "rights, privileges, and expectations" should be re-
served.

THE POLICE AND THE NEWARK ACCIDENT.
Mr. Thomas Earp, Mayor of Newark, with a
promptness and sense of justice which do him credit,
has made a. searching inquiry into the infamous
charge brought against the Newark policemen,
namely, of robbing the bodies of the people killed in
the late accident. The result of Mr. Earp's conduct
has justified his worship and his brother magistrates
in believing that all the allegations were unfounded.
Mr. IN ilson's missing watch has been for several days
safe in the custody of a friend in London, so
has the insurance ticket supposed to have
been abstracted from the body of a
lady named Robinson. The purse, which with nearly
£4O was missed from Major K. Hurst's body, was at
the opening of the inquest a day or two after the
accident, handed by the police to the deceased
gentleman's solicitor. Mr. Earp has discovered that
so far from despoiling the sufferers of their property,
the constables were indefatigable in their efforts to
secure it, and that one act of theirs, namely the
taking off of a lady's rings in order to number them
similarly as the remains were numbered, was con-
strued into an act of heartless pillage, when it
was to prevent this that it was under-
taken. The Mayor of Newark rests satisfied that
the policemen of the town have made themselves

CHESTERFIELD IN THE UPPER HOUSE.

Mr. Bright's famous letter about the Peers and the
Irish Land Bill—the letter in which he thought
their lordships " not very wise "—was considered a
remarkable production for a Cabinet Minister ; but
Lurd Malmesbury has had the satisfaction of return-
ing in full the compliments of the President of the
Board of Trade. On Tuesday the Peers dealt with
the portions of the Land Bill which provide for
loans to the tenants in order that they may purchase

their holdings. This part of the measure is noto-
riously the work of Mr. Bright. The Conserva-
tives allowed it to pass, and then the Earl
of Malmesbury set himself to abuse it.
It was the work of a single member of the
Cabinet, he said ; it had not a leg to stand on—mean-
ing possibly that the unfortunate member of the
Cabinet himself had not. It was a sham, a humbug,
it would not come to anything. The Govern-
ment knew very well that it would be impos-
sible to carry out such a scheme. Most
people will think that if Mr. Bright's
plan•deserved,all these hard names, it did not deserve
to become law, and that it was not the duty of the
Opposition to allow such a preposterous proposal
to safely pass. Happily the political capacity of
Lord Malmesbury is not so striking as to warrant
the placing of much faith in his dismal prophecies.

THE LAND BILL IN THE HOUSE OP LORDS.

The Standard says that the questions which have arisen
during the debate have been, perhaps, not of minor im-
portanee than those debated during the consideration of
the first, three clauses of the biil, but they have been
questioa to the discussion of which both sides could
come in a more conciliatory spirit, and most of them quer-
tions of degree and manner, in which union might be
without difficulty attained, or defeat sustained with good
humour. If the measure should work beneficially, and
realise any portion of the sanguine anticipations in which
the Ministers and their supporters indulge, it
will be due in a large part to the judicious altera-
tions on Monday and Tuesday evenings, most of them
against the obligato protests of Lord Granville and his
colleagues, but against their convictions. For, strange
to say, there was hardly one of these amendments which
they opposed but submitted to, the justice of which they
did not, whilst opposing, admit, their purpose seemingly
being to resist these amendments, with the view of
setting off their subsequent acceptance of them in the
House of Commons against their insistance in that assem-
bly, upon the original provisions of the bill, or to speak
more correctly, upon the provisions of the bill when it left
the House of Commons. There is some ingenuity about
these tactics, and that is all that can be said for them, but
they will not succeed. The Peers will not be blinded by
such a petty attempt to throw dust in their eyes. They
will, of course, weigh very carefully what they determine
upon. and yield, if at all, where concession is necessary or
expedient, butt they will certainly adhere to the principal
amendments they have made.
