THE REPRESENTATION OF WORCESTER.

The report that Mr. Sherriff is about to vacate his
seat for Worcester is contradicted authoritatively by
the Birmingham Post. Mr. Sheriff is said to be in
ill-health. At the next vacancy Mr. Allcraft will
come forward as the second candidate of the Con-
servative party, and Mr. T. R. Hill as the Liberal
candidate. The last-named gentleman was third on
the poll at the general election.

itepublicans had carried the local election at Washington.
This contest was particularly interesting The Repub

candidates were a coloured city registrar, a coloured
alderman, and seven co'om el councilmen. The Republi-
can Convention at ltichm ,nd are determined to send a
large proportion of blacks to Congress. They have nomi-
nated two whites and one black for the Senate, and seven
blacks and one white for the House of Representatives.

THE clergy attracted so much attention to them-
selves last week by their speeches in the House of
Lords that those which they delivered in their own
peculiar assembly, the two Houses of the Canter-
bury Convocation, have been overlooked. And yet
their debates in this latter body were worthy of notice.
Two very different subjects were broughtbef ore them :
one a matter affecting the faith, another a matter
affecting morals. The first was the Athanasian
Creed, the second was drunkenness. Concerning
the first, there is little new for us, at all events, to
say. We have again and again expressed our dis-
like of this creed, and our belief that it is doing the
Church irreparable harm. We have pointed out
that this document has really nothing to be said for
it ; that it was not written by the great man whose
name it bears ; that it was not accepted by the
Church for many centuries; that it was 1m"
posed in direct defiance of the decree of the
great Council of Nice, which condemned by
anticipation the framing of any additional creeds;
that it is net imposed by either the Scotch or by the
American Episcopalian Church ; that no one can
possibly believe it, least of all the High Church party,
who, at the same time that they are most zealous in
retaining it, wish to enter into communion with the
Eastern Church, whose members this very creed
consigns to eternal damnation. It is with satisfac-
tion, therefore, we find that even some of the bishops
think it would at least be wise to render the
reading of this creed optional. We would far rather
see it suffer the fate of the three State services,
and be expunged from the Prayer-book altogether.
But the proposal to leave the use to the discre-
tion of individual clergymen would probably before
long lead to a general disuse. Most of the clergy
would gladly be released from the burden of reading
this creed ; and as for the rest, they cannot afford
to disregard the all but unanimous wishes of the
laity.

Turning to the other matter which Convocation
has been discusaing, we cannot but congratulate the
reverend members that they have at last put them-
selves in accord with the nation by taking in
hand a matter which so deeply affects both the
temporal and the spiritual welfare of the people. It
is, perhaps, scarcely too much to suppose that
the active part taken by a Roman Catholic
Archbishop in this subject has led the
Anglican clergy to see the importance of it.
When Archbishop MANNING is received with raptu-
rous applause by six thousand working men in Pro-
testant Manchester, it is time for Archbishop TAIT
and his suffragans to look to their laurels. At
present, indeed, the temperance question has been
taken up only by the Lower House of Convocation,
but it will no doubt be shortly brought before
the Upper. That it has been introduced into
Convocation at all is due mainly to the
untiring exertions of the Archdeacon of
COVENTRY. Few persons know the labour involved
in getting up the report,Which has just been pre-
sented to ConvOcation by the committee of that body
over which he presided, Few persons can peruse

NEW ZEAL AIVD.

A protest has been made by Sir George Grey, late Go-
rernor of New Zealand, Mr. Clifford, late speaker of the
House of representatives, and others who have held office
in that colony, against a dispatch from Earl Granville to the
Governor of New Zealand in answer to an application fur
Imperial assistance. The gentlemen signing this protest
resent the imputation that the colonists are not exerting
themselVes to the utmost in their own defence, and they re-
gard the dispatch itself as fraught with danger to the colony.
Its circulation in the colony will be simultaneous with the
removal of the last regiment, and they believe it will have
a most injurious effect on the natives, both friendly and
hostile. They protest further against , the repudiation
of the treaty obligations entered into With the natives, and
deny tho statement made in the despatch that all responsi-
bility arising out of those obligations was transferred to the
colonists. They conclude by declaring their conviction that
the policy now
.pursued towards New Zealand is calculated
to drive the colony out of the empire.

MR. PEABODY.

•
The use which has been made of Mr. Peabody's gift to
the poor of London does not give perfect satisfaction in
America. The New York Times has inquired into the
administration of the fund, and is disappointed at the
result. The Peabody buildings are "clumsy, heavy, dark.
and unsightly," the rooms are too small, and the rent too
high to be of great practical benefit. Conversation
with some of the tenants leads the Times to the conclusion
that cheaper houses ought to be provided, and that the
deserving poor might be aided by loans from the fund.
Mr. Peabody, who has arrived in America, is much
improved in health by his voyage across the Atlantic.

THE INTERNATIONAL. BOAT RACE.

Cambridge rowing men are reported to be " funk-
ing" a contest with the Harvard University. Theyhavo
been so dispirited by recent defeats, have lost so
much heart at the failure of all their recent efforts,
that they do not new care to " lay themselves out for
-nother licking." At least so they put it, much to
I,e ainvist of the more valiant of their men, A
correspondent writing to the Tune 3, tries to stir up
the esprit de corps. " There are still nearly two
months (he points out) before the race should be
rowed, and a chance of retrieving all their lost
honours is before the Cambridge men. They may
be beaten, it is true, but it is not ignominious to be
beaten when you have done your best to win. On
the other hand, it is disgraceful to take a licking.".

THE STATUE or LORD PAIXERSTON.

Why is it that every attempt recently made to
erect statues to memory, in London, has more or
less ignominiously failed ? Failed they certainly
have, for, notwithstanding the number of memorials
which have been erected, there is scarcely one which
a Londoner cares to pass. The melting-pot has had
returned to it more than one leading statesmen.
It is much to be doubted whether the model of Lord
Palmerston will ever be done in a sufficiently
durable material to need any such attention.
The plaster which rears its head, supposed to
represent the deceased statesman, is, the critics say,
" a figure covered with a suit of clothes in which an
Epsom jockey might suitably enough array himself
when off duty." "It is possible that hir lordship
may have worn a cutaway coat and a sporting neck-
cloth without a collar. But the figure as it is robed
is simply laughable. It utterly lacks dignity, and
unless amended will tra4smit Lord Palmerston's
image to posterity in a form to which the original in
even his most flippant mood would have strenuously
obj ected."

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The Parliament of Brazil was opened recently by a
speech from the Emperor. Bevitw:ng the progress of the
war, his Majesty said that the province of Matto Grosso
bad been freed from the Paraguayan invasion, Lopez had
been driven out from Brazilian soil, and the allied fleet
had full command of the rivers Parana and Paraguay.
Several new laws were promised, including one for electo.
ral reform, and another for improving the administration
of justice. First of all, however, the people of Brazil
will be met by that inevitable offspring of war—heavier
taxes.

MARKET S-2 MS DAY.

LIVERPOOL CO-7170N MARKET.
Juno 22.—Sales probably 15,000 bales, possibly more.
The market quiet and unchanged.

A magnificent pair of shears, built up of wrought
iron and worked by double cylinder steam crabs,
has been erected at " Hobbs's Point," Pembroke
Dockyard, during the past week, by Messrs. James
Taylor and Co., of Birkenhead, the firm that
has supplied, under Admiralty contract, the steam
traction locomotives and steam cranes to her
Majesty's dockyard. The shears erected at Pem-
broke are 121 feet in height, and have been con-
structed to carry 75 tons suspended from their
greatest elevation. They passed their test most
satisfactorily, under the supervision of Captain R.
Hall, C. 8., RN., and Mr. J. J. Fincham, of Pem-
broke Dockyard.
A newly-arrived emigrant in America, in soliciting
work, stated that ho wanted the money he hoped to earn
to send home to Ireland ; " where," he added, "I have a
wife and seven children, and never saw one of them."
This seemed such a bold and stupid falsehood that the
person to whom ho was making application for work
angrily exclaimed, "How dare you tell me such stuff!
How could you have a wife and seven children in Ireland
without ever having seen oue of them 2" "Because, your
honour, the one I never saw was born afthr I sailed for
Aincriky."

A breach of promise case is on trial in New York,
where a wish-bone is the only evidence of the gentleman's
"promise" to marry a lady for the breach of which she
sues him for $5,000. The lady testifies that at her brother's
house the defendant found a dry wish-bone and proposed
that they should pull it. When the bone broke the cen-
tral part fell upon the floor. This was interpreteddes the
plaintiff assorts, by the defendant that they should.marry
soon, as he remarked, "It seems that we are to be mar-
ried at the same time ; wouldn't you like it ?" To which
the plaintiff replied, " I'll bet I would!"
"Dar are," said a sable orator, "two roads
through this world. De one am a broad and narrow road
that leads to perdition, and de udder am a narrow and
broad road dat leads to sure destruction." "If dat am

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S LETTER.

The able Parisian correspondent of the Times concludes
that the object of the Emperor Napoleon's letter to
M. Mackau is simply to assure France that there is to be
no change—that M. Rouher is still to be Minister, and
his policy still to continue. Public opinion has decided,
says this writer, in favour of M. Rouher's dismissal.
Nobody will believe in reform whilst the present Minister
of State remains at the head of affairs ; indeed the French
are of opinion that his retirement will be the best of .all
reforms. But the Sovereign, according to the Mackau
letter, has made up his mind not to change his chief
official. "The true difficulty for tho Emperor is to
part with M. Rouher, not only because be is accus-
tomed to that useful servant, and does not like new
faces, but because be is slow to trust any man, and has
kept on the throne some remnant of that suspicious tem-
per which is the natural result of a troubledlife passed in
exile, and spent in a long struggle towards power through
unlawful enterprises. That involuntary distrust of any
men he does not know has led him to take his Ministers
out of a narrow circle of personal acquaintances or
tried friends, whom he dismisses and retakes at will,
according to circumstances and to the slight differences
which public opinion attributes to their names, but who
have for him the common and invaluable merit of being
tried or undoubted supporters of his dynasty."

EXTENSION 01? RYDE PIER.

Mr. CHILDERS said, in reply to Sir James Elphenstono,
that the pioposal to extend 11yde Pier to westward by the
proprietors had been sanctioned, after a inedUication had

Leen made iu the plans. The proposed ext usiou would
in no w.s,y interfere wish the navigation of the Solent.

TUE 12TH OF JULY.

Sir J. GItAY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether his attention had been celled to a a letter which
had been publiAed io Irish Conservat:ve newspapers,which
was written by an hon. member of that house, and dated
from the House of Commons, in which the Orangemen of
Ireland were called upon to turn out "everywhere," on the
coming 12th of Jrly, to assemble in their tens cf thou-
sands, in order to celebrate the g!or!ous triumphs of the
,past. 110 wished to know whether the Government in-
tended to take steps to preserve the peace of the country
on the occas!on ?

Colonel S. KNOX was about to address the house on
the part of his hon. friend who had penned the letter, but
he was met by loud cries of " Order, order," amidst which
he sat down.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the attention of the Govern-
ment Lad been called to the letter, and he could only say
he had read it with deep regret. It had unfortunately
been the unhappy duty of the Government to send
certain troops to portions of Ireland to preserve the
peace on the 12th of July, and it was never more
incumbent on the Government than to do so this year—
(bud cries of "Hear, hear," from the Opposition)—and a
duty, he assured the house, should be perforni►d to the
utmost. (Hear, hear.)
TEIE NEW LAW COURTS.

Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice of his intention to move
for the appointment'of a select committee to inquire into

The house then w,ut into committee on this bill, the
object of which was to provide for the legality of landlords
making compositions for the payment of rates of certain
tenements, which was in effect tho resuscitation of the
"compound householder."

l' he discussion on the clauses occupied several Lours
and ultimately progress was reported -on arriving at an
important amendment which stood on the paper for the
fourth clause by Mr. Vernon Harcourt.

The Common Law Courts (Ireland) Bill was withdrawn
and the order for its second reading discharged.
The remaining business was rapidly disposed of, and the
house adjourned.

gird the dispatch itself as fraught with danger to the colony.

the policy now pursued towards New Zealand is calculated
to drive the colony out of the empire.

ANOTHER PLUNGER.

It is stated that another nobleman, though not of
ducal rank, is woefully embarrassed by losses incurred
on the Turf. Ile is the successor of an earl noted as
a diplomatist and a musical amateur, and it is
reported that he w,ls obliged to ask the permission of
a certain fraternity before he could pay a visit to
Ascot during the race week. This young nobleman
fell among thieves, i. e. the Jews, when he was a
schoolboy. It is needless to say that this fraternity are
visiting upon the sons to the 12th or 14th generat'on
the sins of the fathers, who some COO years ago were
robbing Isaac of York and his fellow Israelites, as
the author of " Ivanhoe" has so vividly described.
Meanwhile noble " plungers " would do well to take
a walk down Carlton-house-terrace, where they might
learn a lesson from the auctioneers' bills which now
cover the Duke of Newcastle's fine house.

THE STATUE OF LORD PALMERSTON.

Why is it that every attempt recently made to
erect statues to memory, in London, has more or
less ignominiously failed ? Failed they certainly
have, for, notwithstanding the number of memorials
which have been erected, there is scarcely one which
a Londoner cares to pass. The melting-pot has had
returned to it more than one leading statesmen.
It is much to be doubted whether the model of Lord
Palmerston will ever be done in a sufficiently
durable material to need any such attention.
The plaster which rears its head, supposed to
represent the deceased Statesman, is, the critics say,
" a figure covered with a suit of clothes in which an
Epsom jockey might suitably enough array himself
when off duty." "It is possible that his lordship
may have worn a cutaway coat and a sporting neck-
cloth without a collar. But the figure as it is robed
is simply laughable. It utterly lacks dignity, and
unless amended will transmit Lord Palmerston's
image to posterity in a form to which the original in
even his most flippant mood would have strenuously
objected "

THE ISTHMUS OF CORINTH.

An announcement of much interest—omitted in neuter's
telegram—was made in the King of Greece's speech ct
the opening of the new Chamber of Deputies. Amongst
various other public works which will be speedily com•
menced, a canal is to be cut through the Isthmus of
Corinth. This undertaking has long been promised, but is at
last to be realised, with the help, we believe, of m. de

THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

Cambridge rowing men are reported to be': hulk-
ing" a contest with the Harvard -University. They have
been so dispirited by ncent defeats, have lost so
much heart at the failur: of all their recent efforts,
ihat they do not mit' care to " lay themsel,es out for
-uother licking." At least so they put it, much to
disznst of the more valiant of their men A
correspondent writing to the Tunes; tries to stir up
the esprit de corps. " There are still nearly two
months (he points out) before the race should be
rowed, and a chance of retrieving all their lost
honours is before the Cambridge men. They may
be beaten, it is true, but it is not ignominious to be
beaten when you have clone your best to win. On
the other hand, it is disgraceful to take a licking."

EARL GRANVILLE AND TUE
.ROYAL ENGINEERS.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies was
recently the cause of very great offence to the officers
of the Royal Engineers. lie was reported to have said
that they were not " strictly military." The amour-
-propre of the body was greatly outraged. if not
military what were they (they asked themselves), and
what did Lord Granville think they were? They wrote
to ask the noble earl himself. I lis reply is that henevcr
meant to imply anything so ridiculous ; what he in-
tended to say was that the Royal Engineers, from the
high education they receives and the consequent
frequent employment as civilians, to the extent of
nearly 10 per cent. of their number, make them
eligible for high civil offices, for which officers of the
unscientific branch es have rarely the same opportunity
for preparation. With such a reply the Royal Engi-
neers must be highly pleased. In effect the Earl tells
them that they are qualified to shine in both canaci-
tics—as soldiers and as civilians.-

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
tie short exchange on London is 25f. 251 per £1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 Via. loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe...-s that
gold at the above price is of hightr value in London than
in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was on the 14th inst. about . 091 per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States. Rid

THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.

The Paris correspondent of the Indtpendance Bclge says
it is a fact that the Viceroy of Egypt is endeavouring to
throw off the sovereignty of the Sultan. When he entered
Paris, the Turkish Ambassador was at the station to receive
him; but the Khedive would have none of his assistance.
Brushing past him, he brusquely and awkwardly seized the
arm of General Fleury, the. Emperor's aide-de-camp. The
Sultan is very angry with his vassal, both for taking the
initiative in the measures for securing the neutrality of
the Suez Canal, and for issuing invitations on his own
responsibility to so many sovereigns. The Turkish papers
are talking of high treason.

PRUSSIA AND THE 11 PATEIE."
The French semi-official papers find a topic for hostile
comment in the opening of the new Prussian port „,
at Heppens, which we announced the other-
`thy_ cons:acts -ih:." creatiuu of
new naval station in the Baltic an important fact.
To Russia it is of especial significance, for Prussia plainly
sets herself up as a rival for the command of the Baltic
Sea. But no Power, the Patric thinks, can remain indif-
ferent whilst this dreadful work of fort and navy building
is going on. "In our opinion this maritime develop.
ment of Prussia deserves to be watched with an
attentive eye." The Patric is apparently to be
safely entrusted with this business of watching with an
attentive eye. But why Prussia, with her fine range of
sea-coast, should not aim at becoming a naval Power AS
well as France, it is difficult to imagine. The semi-official
papers of Paris are, however, a little consoled by the fact
that an attempt has been made in Hanover to get up a
subscription in order to present the King of Prussia with
an ironclad corvette, and it has failed.

THE POPE AND THE DOCTORS.

Our Rome correspondent contradicts the story which
was reprinted from the Florence Nazione to the effect
that the Pope has ordered all doctors to abstain under
pain of excommunication from attending patients who
after three days sickness refuse to confess. The reality is
that, by a Bull of Sextus V., all doctors are ordered on
pain of excommunication " to inform the curate of the
parish of any case of sickness if after three days' attend-
ance they see reason to fear danger of death." This
is merely intended to prevent patients dying
without the aid of the sacraments, but no circular
or bull has been since issued on the matter to the
doctors of Rome, and they attend alike those who con-
fess and those who do not. Protestant Prussian soldiers,
of whom there are many in the Papal army, are never
interfered with in hospital. " They are allowed when in
health to attend the Lutheran service at the Prussian
Legation, and when sick receive to their last hour (of
which I have been a frequent witness) the care and
attendance of the surgeons and sisters of charity precisely
as do the Catholic soldiers, and are never urged to change
their religion."

rence is a, very serious affair. An inquiry is now being
made into certain corrupt practices in connection with
Cambray Digny's financial scheme. Major Lobbia is the

posed to have been planned by those interested in his
silence. He narrowly escaped with his life,

TWO SUPLKESSED LOOKS.

Two of the ablest speeches delivered in the Lords
during the recent great debate were made by two
bishops, and, curiously enough, both bishops are, if
report be true, the authors of books which it is now
impossible to buy. The Bishop of Peterborough,
says the London correspondent of the She ield Inde-
pendent, many years ago entertained very different
opinions from those which he now advocates, and
wrote a book which, if a copy could now be obtained,
would supply the supporters of Mr. Gladstone's
bill with some useful quotations. The Bishop of St.
David's is also the author of a suppressed book.
When he was a little boy he write a number of
poems so clever and full of promise that his father
had them published in a little volume, with a por-
trait of the future bishop, who was at that time
eleven years of age. Dr. Thirwall, it is said, after-
wards bought up all the copies he could find, and
althong it was only natural that he should not
attach much value to his juvenile production, yet
his admirers may well regret that the book cannot
now be obtained for love or money.

THE ACCESSION SERVICE.

A stranger who visited the London churches on.
Sunday would have found a wonderful diversity in the
service. In Protestant Islington be would have had
the pleasure of hearing the Accession Service with its
questionable application of the Messianic psalms to
Queen Victoria, but minus the prayer for unity which
is the one gem of the service, and which it is to be
lamented is not read every Sunday. In High Church
Paddington, and other parts of London where Ritual
prevails, the service was altogether ignored " on prin-
ciple," the principle being that the service has never
been authorised by Convocation. Two of the Irish
Bishops preached in London churches, and the
Bishop of Tuam (the Earl of Bandon's brother)
waxed warm about the " onslaught" on the Irish
Church.
The Bishop of Oxford was the preacher at the
special evening service to a crowded congre-
gation in Westminster Abbey. And he did not
miss the subject of the day. Taking for his text the
words, "Shadow of heavenly things" (Heb. viii. 5),
he commenced his sermon with a long and eloquent
appeal to his congregation to cultivate loyalty, which,
he said, it was the fashion ..to speak of as dying
out. In a very fine passage, he recalled the
past race of English sovereigns, referred to the
present as being only a link between the past and the
future, extolled the privilege of belonging to a
Christian nation, declared that the life of a kingdom
was shadowed in the sovereign, and exhorted men
therefore—because they belonged to a past whose
history was written in the biography of the kings,
because they would transmit the history of their
time in the same way—to he loyal to their Queen.
Then, after a pause, he ex-claimed, " But, brethren,
these are but the shadows of heavenly things," and
applying the parable to the "kingdom which is not
of this world," he exhorted his hearers to be loyal to
the "King of Glory."

A NEW PUBLIC PARE.

On Saturday a very interesting ceremony took
place in the East of London. The new Southwark
Park was opened, in great state, by Sir John
Thwaites, the members for the borough and several
other gentlemen being present. So long ago as
1864 the Metropolitan Board of Works obtained the
necessary powers for its formation, and since 1865
the authorities have been actively engaged in enclos-
ing and laying out the ground, which was formerly
occupied by market gardeners. It was a dismal and
marshy district surrounded by tanneries, vinegar
works, roperies, foundries, and manufactories of all
kinds. The ground was valuable in its way, and to buy
up the freehold and leasehold interests cost no less than
£68,400, the average cost of the land being £9ll
per acre. The laying out of the park, the planting
of trees, &c., cost £20,000 more, but the money has
no doubt been well and wisely spent in giving this
densely-populated neighbourhood a breathing place.
The greatest excitement and satisfaction were mani-
fested in the district at the opening of the park. Flags
were flying from the chimneys, and noisy cheers
resounded on all sides. It has been suggested that
the denizens of other crowded parts of London
might be benefited by the occasional opening of the
gardens attached to the Inns of Court and other
large buildings,
