AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT TAUNTON.

At the agricultural show at Taunton yesterday trials,
or which no prizes are awarded, were made with the reap-
ing implements exhibited by Messrs. Samuelson, Howard,
Bamlett, Burgess and Kay, Hellard, Picksley and Sims,
Breuton, Hornsby, and the Reading and Beverley Iron
Works. With single furrow ploughs Messrs. Davey, Ran-
some and Sims, and Woofe competed, Davey's " Excel-
sior" appearing to work the best. Messrs. Ransome and
Sims, Howard, Fowler and Grey, exhibited in action their
double-furrow ploughs. On two occasions only has the
number of visitors to the show on the second day exceeded
that of yesterday.

AN ARCHDEACON ON THE CHURCH OF
ENGLAND.

The Venerable Archdeacon Grant held his annual
visitation at Rochester Cathedral yesterday. Part of his
charge was directed to the question of the present position
of the Church of England. It was quite clear, he ob-
served, that the old theory which regarded every
member of the nation, as also a member
of the State Church, was no longer tenable ;
it had no foundation now in fact. Our country was
divided hopelessly ;no unity of Church fellowship existed.
Under the altered condition of things great changes were
being made in the organisation of the establishment. On
the one hand attempts were being made to enter into
closer communion with other bodies ; but those
attempts were generaly repelled by the bodies them-
sel yes. Nevertheless construction must keep pace with
destruction ; therefore he hailed as a good thing the in-
crease of diocesan conferences. In regard to the confer-
ence for the diocese of Rochester, to be held at Stratford
next month, he announced that the questions to be dis-
cussed were-1. The duty of Churchmen with regard to
national education. 2. Lay co-operation in Church
matters. 3. The inability of churchwardens since the
abolition of compulsory Church rates.

THE SPIRITUALIST IMPOSTURE

The following extract from a recent number of a print
devoted to the advocacy of spiritualism, furnishes an illus-
tration of the sort of cures performed by. the " Great
Healer," as Dr. Newton is styled : On Wed-
nesday morning Mr. J. Ashman took Dr. Newton to see
Mr: Ezra, of 5, Surrey-place, Coleman-street, Camber-
well, who had been carried on a bed to 75, Newman-
street, to meet the doctor. He had not walked for four
years, and was lying down when the doctor saw
him. Dr. Newton put his hands on the patient's
head, said it was a very bad case, but that he
would be instantly cured. When the doctor com-
manded him to arise, he got up, and went out for a walk
with Mr. Ashman. Some ladies who were present were
in transports of joy at the cure, and manifested their
feelings of gratitude in a very impressive manner. He
was hopelessly invalided, and had tried all means to
restore health without success. This paragraph (says the
Liverpool Courier) attracted the attention of a person in
Liverpool whose son is afflicted, and regarding whom
Dr. Newton prophesied that on a certain day
named, the youth would be seized with a vomit-
ing of blood, and would henceforth be cured. it
is almost needless to say that when the clay arrived
there was no vomiting of blood and no cure. The person
whose faith in Dr. Newton's healing powers had been
thus shaken thoUght it judicious to inquire whether the
preceding paragraph was genuine, and the result is con-
tained in the following note ?—" Mr. Ezra regrets to
inform Mr. that he has not derived the benefit
stated, and is still a most severe sufferer.-5, Surrey-place,
Coleman-street, Camberwell, June Ist, 1870."

EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO.
A violent earthquake has occurred in Mexico at
the Cityof Oajrca, by which there has been great loss
?t life and damage to property. More than one
hundred persons are said to have been killed, and a
Rreat number injured more or less seriously. The
shock was not confined to the city, as several towns
in the State of Aajaca have suffered, and the earth-
quake is said to have affected the miners.

AFFAIRS IN SOUTHERN ITALY.

A correspondent in Italy writes as follows :—Contradic-
tory reports continue to circulate about the whereabouts
of Garibaldi and his sons. The General is said by the
Gazetta di Torino to have escaped the surveillance of the
Italian fleet, and to have left Caprera. Ricciotti
is also stated to have_ been arrested. His per-
sonal courage is yeti, superior to his brother,
Menotti's, and he is popular among his party, which
Menotti is not, and, if any serious action is contemplated,
Garibaldi's younger son is more likely to take the leader-
ship than his brother ; but, if the movement has
Bixio at its head, the significance would be
greater still, as it would irr ply the intervention
at least tacit, of the Italian troops. It is quite certain
that a number of officers have resigned (ostensibly) their
commissions as they did in 1867, and I think it well to
inform you of the very sinister aspect of affairs in Italy,
which no official varnish can conceal, and which renders
the situation of Southern Italy as perilousa one as need be.
A great Republican demonstration has taken place at
Florence in honour of the dead of Cartatone in 1848. An
incendiary placard was affixed to the walls calling
on the soldiers to desert, and form a Republic. The
second service for the dead of Cartatone which was of an
official character was literally unattended, the Republi-
cans being resolved to have a separate demonstration in
their own sense. Fazzini has joined Bixio in his " com-
mercial enterprise," and large sums are being subscribed
for it by the proprietors of the Southern provinces. It
is fully understood that it is a cover for
a general Republican organization, and the new
letter of Mazzini is evidently published in concert with
the last development of the Republican party in France
under the presidency of Ernest Picard, a party which,
while hostile to the Empire, repudiates the excesses of
Rochefort and his fellows, which deterred all having any-
thing to lose from joining the movement of which they
were the head.

AN IRISH ORGANISATION.

A Birmingham correspondent sends the following com-
munication to a Dublin newspaper :—An extensive
organisation, which sprung out a number of enthusiastic
meetings recently held in Birmingham, and which devotes
itself to Irish subjects, has issued a manifesto. The asso-
ciation directs its attention first to Ireland because
the exigencies of that country most demand
it. Action is to be taken on the following subjects :--
Irish Land Bill, which the association believes will fail to
restore peace and harmony in Ireland ; Coercion Bill,
hoping expression of public opinion may lead to the
repeal of that unconstitutional and iniquitous measure,
or shame the Government into allowing it to remain a
dead letter on the statute book; the political prisoners,
the association considering it a disgrace that political
prisoners should be allowed to exist in a land so proud of
proud of its liberty as England.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
LORD DERBY AND CHESTER CATHEDRAL.
The Earl of Derby presided yesterday at a large meet-
ing held in Liverpool in connection with the promotion
of the restoration fund of the Chester Cathedral. There
were also present the Bishops of Manchester, Peter-
borough, and New York, the Dean of Chester, Canon
Kingsley, &c., &c. Lord Derby, in a speech of much
force and eloquence, commented upon the importance of
preserving from decay the ecclesiastical monuments of
the middle ages, for as the world grew older there was a
greater longing to penetrate'into the remote past, and as we
could not re-create what had been destroyed, it was incum-
bent on us to preserve with the greatest care, and to
restore as much of the noble and beautiful cathedral archi-
tecture of the past as remained.—The Dean of Chester
gave an account of the progress of the fund, stating that
up to the close of 1869 £31,500 had been subscribed. The
Bishop of Manchester spoke in support of the movement.
The Bishop of Peterborough having criticised occasion-
ally with caustic severity, and sometimes with good
humour, a number of the customs and abuses of cathe-
drals, described the mode of restoration which had been
adopted at Chester as being preferable to the system of
pulling down buildings and erecting modern ones with
sham antique architecture. In conclusion, his
lordship alluded to the future influence and position of
the Church of England in terms of confidence and hope,
—The Bishop of New York alluded to the interest taken
by the educated Americans in the venerable cathedrals of
England, and expressed the disappointment that would
be felt across the Atlantic should the spirit of the nine-
teenth century be not equal to their restoration.—Canon
Kingsley proposed a vote of thanks to the noble chair-
man, and in bearing testimony to what the Bishop of New
York had said, urged the meeting, by the furtherance of
the object in view, to strengthen the tie of religious senti-
ment that linked England with America.—Mr. Aiken
seconded the motion.--The noble chairman, in acknow-
ledgment, congratulated the promoters upon the success
of the meeting.

ATTACK AND DEFENCE.

The members of the United Service Institution
have been listening to an interesting lecture on
" Modern Means of Attack and Defence," by Captain
Schaw, R.E., Professor of Fortification and Artillery
at Sandhurst. Captain Schaw is of opinion that in
our day the defenders have the best of it, as they can
fire on the attacking force at from, 3,000 to 800
yards with their artillery and their mitrailleur, and
when their artillery was driven back • by the
advancing enemy, their breechloaders would
play havoc with the attacking troops. The modern
weapons have greatly increased the difficulty of find-
ing cover for reserves, whereas defenders can intrench
themselves, and intrenchments are practically im-
pregnable if defended by a force armed with breech-
loaders. Within the last twenty years the range
and rapidity of fire of our small arms has been
greatly increased; the range of field artillery has in-
creased tenfold. The campaigns in Germany and Italy
have shown the value of the new arms, and shown also
that fortresses must be t,f larger extent and more
heavil) armed than formerly. The defence of Eng-
land must, however, rest mainly with the navy, for it
would be difficult to ensure the safety of shore for-

tresses and to see an arsenal with thepresentartillery
Is to destroy it.

MODERN GUNNERY:

As war-ships are now being constructed of armour
12 inches thick, and as Mr. Heed asserts that he is
prepared to apply armour of 20 inches, it seems ne-
cessary that some thought should be given to the
character of the guns, which should be made to defy
this kind of resistance, were an enemy to arise whose
ships would be flanked with iron of such a thickness.
Of course much doubt remains as to the possibility of
floating armour 20 inches thick in the sea, but there is
no insuperable obstacle why it should not be applied as a
defence to forts. Now a new proposal on the subject
of guns has been made, and it appears
to deserve consideration. It is suggested
' that colossal mortars should henceforth be
' used in attacks either upon fortifications or upon
ships in which thick iron platting is the chief resist-
ing power. Huge rifled mortars, having a pointed
or elongated form of projectile, would, it is
contended, penetrate the deck armour of
war vessels, which is always thinner than
that of the sides, or would fall within
a fort, and so force the gunners employed inside
to capitulate. Partly for the sake of obtaining
accurate aim, and partly because every huge mortar
with a colossal shell is cheaper, and would be more
effective of itself than 55 small mortars, such as those
usually adopted, it is argued that the large guns
should be at once made use of in England and fur-
nished to our ships and forts. The projectiles used
might have one effect which it is not always
desirable to obtain, but which rather is often fraught
with danger to both of the fighting parties, namely,
a liability to cause explosions of the magazines
attached to forts. This result, however, it is con-
sidered, may possibly be guarded against by altering
the composition of the shells.
London, England, 1870-06-08

THE FENIANS ON THE CANADIAN
BORDER.

The Fenians are on the move, it seems, and with such
dispatch, energy, and secrecy have they acted that both
Canadian and American authorities are apparently out-
witted. While a small column has appeared away off in
Minnesota on what now looks like a feint, other and more
formidable bands have moved through New York and
Vermont, and are on the border, if not across it. The
American commander at Sault St. Marie has reported
" suspicious characters" moving through the canal, but
whether smugglers or soldiers we are not told. Colonel
Bolton, the Canadian commander, naturally considers,
every " suspicious character " to be a Fenian, and,
recognizing that discretion is an essential if not the better
part of Canadian valour, he has doubled the guards around
his camp in the Canadian wilderness.
Of the active column in this State and in Vermont the
information is rather indefinite. But there is little doubt
that the Fenians are moving in the East in such force as to
demand the attention of the Government, which will, we
doubt not, promptly enforce strict neutrality, without
waiting for suggestion from the Canadian authorities.
Such was not the custom of the English, it is true • but
their example is not one which President Grant thinks it
proper to follow, and the Fenians who design crossing into
Canada East will have not only to meet an enemy in front,
but also to avoid a force on their flanks. The official cor-
respondence relative to the refusal to pass the Canadian
vessels through the Sault St. Marie Canal reveals the pur-
pose of the President to maintain a strict neutrality. The
English Minister states positively that the steamer
Chicora, which was refused the passage, had only Hudson
Bay Company stores on board ; but it is established by the
Canadian papers that the troops which had been on board
were removed in small boats pending the application at
the Custom House. The English Minister also assures
the Secretary of State that the expedition goes not to
conquer Riel, but to establish the new Government of
Manitoba.—New York Tribune.

WHOLESALE ROBBERY.

The magistrates at the Derby county police-court had
an uncommon offender before them on Monday. His
name was John Brierley, and he was charged with a
systematic series of robberies at the Derby Railway-
station. On Saturday evening, between six and seven
o'clock, a middle aged man of respectable appearance was
noticed loitering about the platform, and while one of the
porters turned his back, he seized two bags and stepped
aside. As soon as he saw a man watching him he
" bolted off " into one of the closets. in a waiting
room. The station-master was communicated with, and
when the man came out of the waiting-room he gave him
into custody. Inspector Lownds, Sergeant Parker, and
Detective Sheppard subsequently went to the house of the
Prisoner, and there found a vast amount of property too
extensive for them to carry away all at once. Having
conveyed a portion of the property to the county
police office, they returned with a cab, which
scarcely held the remainder. The articles included
nine carpet bags, two leather portmanteaus, a
quantity of silver plate (stolen from the first-class re-
freshment rooms), silver forks, spoons, and tankards, five
umbrellas, ten overcoats, two walking sticks, an extensive
quantity of ladies and gentlemen's unlerclothing, two or
three rugs, a rifle, a revolver, two letter balances, some
carpet patterns, collars, neckties, handkerchiefs, and about
£lOO worth of brass fittings, stolen from Messrs. Fletcher
and Co., of the Masson Foundry, Litchurch, where the
accused was engaged as manager. In his possession were
also found several pledge tickets--for two gold watches,
sleeve links, and other articles of jewelry. The search
at the prisoner's house was not concluded by the police
until midnight on Saturday. The whole of the goods,
with the exception of the brass fittings, are the produce

Prisoner was not concluded at the first hearing.

TELEGRAPHS.

Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the sum of £lOO,OOO, entered as a receipt on
account of " Telegraphs" in the published statement of
Revenue for the quarter ended 31st March, was in respect
of messages only, or included money received from any
other source.

The Marquis of HARTINGTOIC, in the absence of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, replied that the sum did
not include the sums due to revenue on account of press
messages, or rents of private wires. The total number
of messages forwarded by the department since the
commencement of tne Government system up to the
31st March was 1,160,000 inclusive of the messages re-
ceived by the department for transmission abroad, and
exclusive of the number of messages received from abroad
for distribution by the Post Office. He was not able to
tell the hon. gentleman precisely the sum received or
receivable on account of the 1,160,000 messages.
REDUCTION OF POOR LAW MEDICAL
OFFICERS.

Mr. DAVENPORT asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether he was aware that the opinion expressed
by the Poor Law Board in their letter to the Guardians
of Birmingham last year, that the reduction of the num-
bers of medical officers from eight to five was injudicious,
had not been acted upon, and that one medical officer had
still to attand to the wants of a population 44,000 in num-
ber; and whether the Poor Law Board have taken or pro-
pose to take any steps to remedy this state of things.
Mr. GOSCHEN replied that last year the board of
guardians for the parish of Birmingham re-considered
their medical arrangements, and reduced the number of
their medical officers, but they at the same time materially
raised the salaries of those officers, and made the
medical relief districts coincide with the ordi-
nary relief districts. The Poor Law Board
were doubtful as to the expediency of these arrangements,
but the Guardians pointed out that the average of
previous years sheaved that the medical officers would not
have more than sixteen cases a day at the homes of the
patients, and that number had been proved to be pretty
accurate. The General Consolidated order was not en-
forced in Birmingham. He was of opinion that the
medical officers ought to have been permanent officers.

TIM SMALLPDX RIOT.

Proceedings have been taken by the authorities
against the men concerned in the recent smallpox
riot at White Waltham. Pursuant to Act of Parlia-
ment, the depositions of the owner of the house in
which the depredations were committed by the
men with blackened faces have been taken previously
to an action for damages against Mr. Headington, of
Baley Farm, the high-constable of the Hundred of
Beynhurst, within which the riot took place. In addi-
tion to this, six of the coloured offenders have been
recognized, and had summonses served upon them.
The Maidenhead Board of Health have also sat in
deliberation upon the matter. The clerk to that
body reported that although the small-pox had in-
creased, it was still confined to one house,
and three persons were suffering from it.
Several suggestions were made, and it was
resolved that a wooden house be built at once in the
middle of a field, if land could be got. The father
of the family was to be employed to disinfect
the house and destroy his clothes, for which he
was to be recouped and his wages paid by the Board.

A MLTAIFICENT OFFER.

Sir F. Crossley has made an offer through the
Mayor of Halifax, the novelty of which is only
exceeded by its munificence. He proposes to found a
loan fund of £lO,OOO to assist men and women between
the ages of 25 and 45, who shall have preserved a
good character and been resident in the town for at
least two years prior to the application. There is to
be no security asked beyond satisfying the trustees
that the borrower possesses as much property as he
seeks to borrow. Men may borrow not less than

GAME 131 LL

:i reply to Air. C. READ,
The LORD-ADVOCATE said he proposed to introduce the
hill that day week.
COUNTY COURT JUDGES.

Mr. HAVILAND-BU-ctiCE asked the Attorney-C-eneral
what was the result :of the communication which had
been made to the Lord Chancellor respecting the com-
mittal of a juryman by Mr. W. H. Cook, County Court
Judge, of Norfolk ; and, if it is with the sanction of the
Lord Chancellor that Mr. W. H. Cook has been appointed
magistrate for the county of Norfolk, and as such took
his seat on the 22nd of Marcia, regardless of the report
made by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into
corrupt -practices at Beverley, and pending the decision
of the Lord Chancellor aa to the committal of the jury-
man.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that Mr. Cook hAd
written a letter to tho Lord Chancellor. in which he steted
that Rubstantially the reports which Appeared ;"I.tha Nor-
wich papers were incorrect. He (the Attorney-General)
read a letter from Mr. Cook, from which, he observed, he
thought it would be seen that he was not deserving
of the censure which had been cast upon him.
With regard to the second portion of the question, Mr.
Cook was appointed a magistrate on the 16th of October,
1869, prior to the report of the Commissioners. The
Lord Chancellor acted on the recommendation of the
Lord Lieutenant of the County in accordance with the
usual custom. Mr. Cook did not appear to have taken
his scat until the 22nd of March, but with that the Lord
Chancellor had nothing to do.

At the Londonderry Quarter Sessions there were no
criminal cases to go before his worship and the grand jury
were discharged thirty minutes past twelve.
An inquest has been held on the body of the child
found in a garden at Sutton Bridge, and which the man
rruefit stated was murdered by himself and the mother,
Maria Burridge. The jury returned a verdict that there
was no proof that the child was born alive, but that True•
fit; and Burridge had been guilty of concealment of birth.
they were therefore committed for trial on thin ehartte.

The Bishop of Columbo, the Right Rev. Piers
ialveley Claughton, D.D., will, it is believed, resign his
see, and will accept the vicarage of Dudley, vacant by
;he death of Dr. Browne. The Bishop of Colombo has
Seen in England for some time on account of his health,
and had just received a further extension of three months'
leave of absence from his diocese, to which he was ap-
pointed in 1862.
The London papers have been hoaxed. Several
f them published a report of a meeting touching Ritualism
which was to have been held at the residence of the Bishop
if London. Several leading Ritualists were invited, and
actually went ; but on their arrival they found his lordship
lonfined to his room by a severe attack of illness. The
neeting did not, therefore, take place. The Bishop is now
setter.

A sad accident happened on Saturday afternoon on
Liskeard and Looe Railway, Cornwall. Two brothers,
lamed Harris, aged respectively sixteen and six, were
walking one on each side of the line, when on seeing the
;rain approaching, the eldest of the two called to his
brother to come to him. The poor little fellow hesitated
for a moment, and on making the attempt was knocked
Sown, and cut in two. The driver did all that he possibly
.19uld to step tile tlain.but_dia not succeed.

THE CAUSE OF DISCONTENT.

,!in American correspondent in Le Te»zps, gives
some facts on the subject of this insurrection,
which may impart information on a topic of
which not much is at present known. There are
about 15,000 men in the settlement : Irishmen,
Scotchmen, French-Canadians, and, above all, half-
castes. All the people speak English and French,
or something of the kind ; and, living in a country
where a proprietor who wishes to enlarge his estate
has only so dig a new ditch, are happy enough to
know nothing of administration or government of
any kind. Great was the astonishment, then, when
the news arrived that the Hudson's Bay Company
had sold them like cattle for £75,000. The conse-
quence was the insurrection, which according to last
accounts, bids fair to be very troublesome to the
Canadian Government.
PROTEST AGAINST THE COERCION BILL.

-- - -
A meeting has been held in the Dublin Rotundo to
protest against the Coercion Bill, and. to declare
for Irish independence. Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Mr. G.
H. Moore, for whose attendance the meeting had.
been postponed. two days, were not present. Mr.
Thomas Ryan was the chief speaker. He
considered that if Mr. Gladstone was just, he would
insert at the close of the Coercion Bill a clause
declaring that any landlord who evicted a good
and honest tenant should be guilty of a mis-
demeanour. The name of Mr. Gladstone was
received with hisses. Resolutions were passed
expressing the opinion of the " citizens of Dublin
in public meeting assembled," that the Peace
Preservation Act was a grave and unwarrantable
attack on the liberty of the subject, subversive of
constitutional principles, and a virtual withdrawal of
the Constitution from the Irish people. It was also
resolved that the peace and very existence
of the United Kingdom are seriously endan-
gerod by the system of misrepresentation of
Irish affairs and the seditious teaching of the English
press. A. committee was appointed to decide upon
the course of procedure.
London, England, 1870-04-05

THE RED RIVER INSURRECTION.

Notwithstanding erroneous and contradictory
reports, it seems pretty certain that active
measures will now be taken by the Cana-
dian' Government against the Red River insurgents.
Three hundred regulars, and a force of the Canadian
Reserve, will, it is probable, be sent to the disturbed
territory. It is quite time that some measure of the
kind was taken. There is now' no doubt that an
Irishman named Scott was shot by Riel, the
insurgent leader, for no greater offence than escaping
from prison with other Canadians, and joining the
movement of Major Boulton against the rebels.
That such a state of things should be allowed to continue
is a disgrace to both the English and the Canadian
Governments. Unfortunately it has not been possi-
ble to take speedy measures. Sending a force
to the Red River isnot such easy work as pouring troops
into Ireland. The territory between Canada and the
insurgent settlement is of the most difficult and
trackless character—a wild chaos of bogs and
swamps. In fact the only route to, the Red River
is through the United States, and the march of
troops through British North America will be a
difficult enterprise, something like an Abyssinian
expedition.

THE BUDGET.

The Glasgow Herald says that it is in a position to state
Mr. Lowe's intentions with regard to the Budget. He
will take one penny off the income-tax, reducing it to
fourpence. He will equalise the duties on sugar. He will
allow farmers to sprout or steep their own barley. He will
make an alteration in brewers' license. He will propose
an alteration in the newspaper postage. He will leave the
tea and coffee duties untouched, and will keep £1,000,000
in hand for special purposes which, he will explain to the
House.

M. ituunEit AND THE GOVERNORSHIP OF
ALGERIA.

The Gazette de France makes a singular announcement,
whichit has received on good authority. M. Rouher,
now President of the French Senate, and formerly Prime
Minister and confidant of the Emperor, has accepted
the governorship of Algeria, on condition of holding
the position of a viceroy. The Algerian administration
under M. Rouher will consist of two kinds of Ministers—
one military the other civil— General Trochu being
at the head of the first, and M. de St. Paul,
senator, who was formerly M. Rouher's right hand
man, the chief of the second. M. 011ivier at first
strongly opposed this arrangement, but eventually gave
his consent, partly because it would remove M. Rouher,
a dangerous rival and reactionist from the scene, and
partly in order to please the Emperor
