CLERGY3IEN'S BIGHTS.

A clergyman has been made a'6 C. 8." The most
honourable Order of the Bath is' invaded by the
spiritual element of society. The Rev. Robert Mills
Inskip, Chief Naval Instructor of her Majesty's
training ship Britannia, for naval cadets, allowed
himself to be beguiled by worldly vanity, and is
now an ordinary member of the civil division of the
third class of the Order of the Bath. The much-
coveted decoration is for the first time worn over a
surplice. The rights of the diplomatic officers, of
soldiers, rnd statesmen are thus clearly invaded, and
that to a very serious extent. For if a clergyman
may have the honour, why not a bishop ? And
where will the claims of the prelates end ? The
Colonial. Orders, the great Knights of the Garter
themselves, are threatened. They should look to it
that they repudiate the tyranny of the Church.

OPIUM GROWING IN CHINA 4;

A very important piece of intelligence comes from China
by the Indian mail. The Emperor of China has by pro-
clamation forbidden the cultivation of the poppy through-
out his dominions. The prohibition is to be most
rigidly enforced. Acting upon the intelligence, which is
aquestionable, the Government of India has called upon
that of Bengal to promptly consider the advisability of
considerably enlarging the area of opium cultivation in
Bengal.

*CHURCH CONGRESSES.

Archdeacon •Denison complains in the John Bull
that Church Congresses aro becoming a shp,m;
because, they always exclude from discpssion the
matters' most needing it. Thus, the- programme of
the intended Liverpool meeting contains not a word•
about Establishments; episcopal destitution, diocesan
synods, or the discipline of the clergy. Supposing
these subjects .were included, and that there were
many Archdeacon Denisons,we wonder how long the
Congresses would last.

BISHOPS, DEANS, AND CANONS.

Under this head " Ancona " writes to the Times
complaining that the two English Archbishops who
enjoy respectively £15,000 and £lO,OOO a year,.
should have led the assault against the capitular
bodies: Ile argues that since a canonry is rarely
more than £5OO and never more than £1,000;
a year, and since it is bestowed as the :reward of •
learning or_ Lard work, this attack is extremely.
indecorous. " Anemia" adds, " It is, no doubt, natural
that more bishops, and such bishops as the present,
should appear to the episcopal mind the onethingneed-
ful. But the educated laity will rather incline to think
that to diminish the few modest rewards which fall
to the lot of scholars, in order to multiply prelates
in purple and fine linen, is anything but wisdom at,
a time when the numbers and the quality of candi-
dates for orders are notoriously deteriorating." Ile
points to the spectacle of four prelates' wives at the
late Drawing-room, suggests that they, did hot,
perhaps; altogether eschew " broidered hairt gold
pearls and costly array," and argues that it is not
well to make the contrast too great between Dives in
the palace and Lazarus in the parsonage, but that
there should be some sort of social bridge between..
the two extremes in the shape of minor dignitaries.

TIIE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

The Patrie is informed that a new line of railway is to
be constructed in Belgium to join the French system.
This new line will be a branch of the Grand Luxembourg,
and will extend only for a few miles on Belgian territory,
but a short line in France will connect it with the
entire network of French lines; and thus, says the Pattie,
the means of international communication between the
two countries will be more complete than ever.

CONSULAR COURTS IN EGYPT.

The Berlin correspondent of the Indtpendance Bilge
says that the Porte is offended at the conduct of the Vice.
roy of Egypt in negotiating with European Powers for the
abolition of the capitulations. These capitulations cause
the Egyptian Government infinite annoyance in
the shape of the independent jurisdiction of the Con-
sular Courts. The Turkish Government is quite as desirous
of their abolition as is the Viceroy, but as the capitula-
tions were established by treaties concluded by the Porte
as sovereign power, so their repeal ought to be negotiated
in the same way. These representations have been taken
into consideration by the various Powers ; but they do
not, says the Independance, appear disposed to repeal the
capitulations.

THE GOVERNMENT AND EMIGRATION.

The Government seems to have given up helping
emigrants to leave this country. The Crocodile was
placed some time since at the disposal of the dock-
yard emigrants, but has now been withdrawn ; why,
it is not very easy to say. The committees in London
and elsewhere had no money to send out the several
families, but many were preparing to leave by paying
their own expenses. And just now after preparation
had been made they are told they cannot go. This
certainly wants explanation.

The Patrie is informed that a new line of railway is to
I,e constructed in Belgium to join the French systixa.
This new line will be a branch of the Grand Luxembourg,

OVATION TO MR. GLADSTONE.

At this moment Mr. Gladstone entered the house by
the door opposite the Speaker's chair, and as he walked up
to his seat he was received with the most vociferous cheer-
ing by the members on the Ministerial benches, cheering
which was renewed again and again. The Premier seemed
to feel the compliment, and on his returning a smile to his
supporters for their applause, the cheering again burst
forth and continued for several seconds. The reception
was, altogether, one of the most extraordinary ovations
ever paid to a member of the House of Commons.
On silence being restored,
Mr. BRUCE continued his remarks. He said the jury
bad been fully of opinion that the serious aspect of the
riot justified the firing of the soldiery, and ho could only
regret that matters had proceeded to such an extreme
length as to make it necessary for the soldiery to take
steps to protect their personal safety. (Hear, hear.)
THE CAPITATION GRANT.
Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Simonclit, said tho
capitation grant was now in course of payment, and all
corps applying would receive it. The cause of the
non-delivery of the new ammunition was that it
had not yet been manufactured to such an
extent as to having a stock on hand, but it was being made
up with the utmost despatch, and would be delivered as
speedily as it was possible.

THE TELEGRAPHS BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in

make any announcement as to the intentions of the Go-
vernment on the subject._

A meeting of the Anthropological SOciety eras held:
a few evenings since, when the subject of discussion-

Women." Papers were read by Mr. flarris,
• and - Mr. XI ‘Griger Allan, F.A.S.L whoa()
views v. ere somewhat different. ' • -Mr. Barris.
was more inclined to favour feminine clairni;
and though' he considered that great natural
differences existed between men and women, he
,thoUght it did not follow that the question was one
of actual mental or moral superiority on either side.
Mr. -Allan was only willing tO.• allow ' woinen pre-
eminence in the dramatic profession, 'since all women,
he thought, were by 'nature actresses. - Thousands of
years had simply demonstrated the mental supremacy
of man, and we must not ignore the lessons of -ex-
aperience.

BISIIOPS, DEANS, AND CANONS.

Under this head " Ancona" writes to the Times
complaining that the two English Archbishops who
enjoy respectively £15,000 and £lO,OOO a year,
should have led the assault against the capitular
bodies. lle argues that since a canonry is rarely
more than i!000 and never more than £l,OOO
a year, and since it is bestowed as the reward of
learning or hard work, this attack is extremely
indecorous. " Ancona' adds, "It is, no doubt, natural
that' more bishops, and such bishops as the present,
should appear to the episcopal mind the one thing need-
ful. But the educated laity will rather incline to think
that to diminish the few modest rewards which fall
to the lot of scholars, in order to multiply prelates
in purple and fine linen, is anything but wisdom at
a time when the numbers and the quality of candi-
dates for orders are notoriously deteriorating." He
points to the spectacle of four prelates' wives at the
late Drawing-room, suggests that they did not,
perhaps, altogether eschew " broidered hair, gold
pearls and costly array," and argues that it is not
well to make the contrast too great between Dives in
the palace and Lazarus in the parsonage, but that
there should be some sort of social bridge between
the two extremes in the shape of minor dignitaries.

AN INDIAN FATHER.

The news that three Bengalees had been successful in the
Indian Civil Service competitive examinations is said to
have given great satisfaction to the native community. Two
of them, it seems, had some difficulty in getting away from
India. "Ono of them (the Indian Daily News rays) was,
in the language of Indian officials, t granted four years'
leave of, absence to England' by his wife and two or
three of his relatives, the only persons who knew of
his intention ; the other was obliged to steal away as
quietly as he could ; the third was freer to act,
and the passages in the Peninsular and Oriental
steamer were taken in the name of the latter ' and two
friends.' The runaway's father pursued him down the river;
there was a scene on board the vessel, but the young man
was obdurate, and the only promise the parent could exact
from him was that he would not marry in England. It is
quite an event among the natives, but it is not so much the
fact of these men having passed, as the excellent effect it
will have, that is most gratifying to others." The disap-
pointment that will bo felt when it iz known that they have
been pronounced dlsqullified by age will therefore, it may
be presumed, ho very great.

WORK AND WAGES.

The wages dispute at Oldham has assumed a new
character. While the general body of minders expressed
their willingness to abide by the terms of the court
of arbitration, the piecers were demonstrative against
the proposed reduction that was about to be im-
posed upon them. Thursday evening being " making-
up" day at several of the factories, a number of
piecers left their work, and consequently stopped the
minders. Upon finding this state of matters, a conference
of minders and piecers was held at noon on Friday to
devise some arrangement, but the piecers were deaf to all
reasoning on the part of the minders, and declared that
thry would persist in the action they had taken. Failing
to come to any terms, the minders held a meeting among
themselves to consider what course they should pursue
under the circumstances, and it was unanimously agreed
that they should attend at their respective mills and be
prepared for work in the event of piecers being at hand.
It is reported that some of the employers intend bringing
the turn-outs before the magistrates for leaving work
without notice.

Messrs. Barnes (late M.P. for Bolton) and Co., cotton
spinners, Farnworth, have posted a notice in their mills of
their intention to reduce the wages of their hands at the
rate of 5 per cent. They add that the intended reduction
is rendered absolutely necessary in consequence of the
depressed state of trade, and that they only resort to this
step with deep regret. It is anticipated that other firma
in the neighbourhood will adopt a similar policy.

THE ENGLISH JOINT-STOCK BANK.

DECISION THIS DAY.

To-day was fixed by the Lord Mayor for giving hie
decision in this care, and a good deal of excitement
@tented to prevail. The defendants, Captain Charles
Edward Mangles; Mr. James Abbisa, and Mr. Thomas
Bradshaw, three of the late dirt ctors of the bank, and
Mr. Samuel Groenway Finney, the manager, took their
seats as usual in front of the bar. It will bo remembered
that the charge against them is that of conspiring to issue
a false report and balance-sheet, and to make improper en-
tries in the books of the company, with intent to cheat and
defraud the shareholders.

Mr. George Lewis, jun., solicitor, appeared for the pro-
secution ; and Mr. Metcalfe, Mr. Poland, Mr. Ormerod,
and Mr. ‘Villiams for the defendants.

The Lord Mayor said, after going through the whole
of this evidence more than once, and examining
it with the greatest possible care, I have come
to the conclusion that, with reg,►rd to Mr. Bradshaw espe-
cially, there is not sufficient evidence forme to put him upon
his trial with regard to any of the matters alleged against
him. With regard to Captain Mangles and Mr. Abbiss, I
have also come to the oonclusion that the evidence is not sufti-
cieut—(loud applause, which was immediately sup-
pressed)—to place either of these gentlemen upon their
trial in respect of these matters. With regard to Mr
Pinney, I think he has clearly brought himself under
the 82d section, which speaks of a manager receiving
or possessing himself of any of the property of a public
company otherwise than in payment of a just debt or
demand. Therefore, with regard to Mr. Pinney, I must
commit Lim for trial under that section o: the Act.

THE -APpOINTMENT OF CORONERS.

, 7---- - - -
Mr.Goldney's bill for vesting the appointment of
coroners in the Lord Chancellor has failed. The
alterations made to it in committee turned the bill
entirely from its original object. 13nt some reform
is yet made in the law. The bill. as amended pro-.
vides that where the election is by law in-the free-
holders of the county, it shall be by such freeholders
only as are on the parliamentary register and
reside within the county. A. new clause is added;
providing that a coroner dissatisfied with the schedule
of fees settled by the justices may apply to the Home
Secretary, who is authorised and empowered to revise
it in such a manner as he shall deein fit. '

MORE 'MISERABLE BONDIIOLDEIIS.

.As preciously announced, the Government of the
EtnObr, Republic has finally resolved to give up the
Virtue of honesty as obsolete and inconvenient in
State transactions.. That remote State has long been
unable or unwilling to meet its obligations. The
full interest of the Republican- debt has not
been paid for . many years past, but the
Government of Ecuador a long time ago
hypothecated certain Customs' duties in part
payment. This small attempt to keep up
appea6nces has now been abandoned, .with the
remarkably neat comment that " inability to comply
with the conditions of a contract cancels the obliga-
tion to fulfil it." The holders of the Ecuador Bonds
have met, and • declared that this proceeding "is at
variance with the principles which regulate the trans-
actions .of civilised nations, is dishonourable and
disastrous to.any State, and cannot fairto meet with
universal reprobation." Unfortunately this prospect.
of " universal reprobation " is not likely to bring.
about repentance.

MILITARY ITEMS.

The Army and Navy Gazette would not be sur-
prised to find further considerable reductions in our
colonialgarrisons carried out next year.—lt is believed
that Lord Frederick Kerr will be the successor as
Director of Naval Ordnance to Rear-Admiral Key,
who has been appointed to Portsmouth Dockyard.—
The victualling department of the Navy is to be
removed from Somerset House to Whitehall.—
Colonel Wardlaw is likely to succeed Sir A. Little
in the command of the cavalry brigade in Ireland,
and Rear-Admiral Chads to succeed Rear-Admiral
Ryder as second in command in the Channel Squad-
ron.—Sir Henry Keppel is going to send the Rodney
back to England, and to hoist his flag on board the
Ocean.

TEE UNITED STATES AND THE FRENCH ATLANTIC

CABLE.

Attention was recently called to a monopoly
granted by the French Emperor to an Atlantic Cable
Company for their line from France to the United
States. It was pointed out that such a grant was
hardly justifiable, and not within the competence of
Napoleon, inasmuch as it would prevent United
States citizens from laying an opposition cable,
and place an indefinite amount of power in the
hands of the French Government. The
Attorney-General of the United States having
had his attention called to the subject, is said
to have given as his opinion that the cable of the
French Telegraphic Company cannot be connected
with the territory of the United States without the
permission of Congress. It is to be hoped that no
" difficulty " 'will arise about the matter between the
two nations.

ASSLSED BATES BILL.

Mr. GOSCIIE.N moved the second reading of this hill,
the object of which was to rovive the system of compound-
ing between landlord and tenant fur the payment of
rates, and to Saliclioll owners of property en •
tering into an arrangernzut with the overseers
for the payment of the rates. The bill further
set out that the owner might be allowed not only to pay
the rates but to make himself personally liable for the
same, so that the rate collector could go to him direct in
the first instance. The right honourable gentleman
said he did not think it was just to make
weekly tenants liable for rates longer than
term of occupancy, and that he hoped the house would
assent to the bill, and thus protect the newly-enfranchised
voter in the exercise of the privilege conferred upon him
by the Reform BPI.
Mr. CORRINGE moved, as an amendment, that the
bill be read a second time that day six months, but the
hon. gentleman did not get a seconder for his motion.
Mr. HIBBERT suppor•ed the bill.

THE BISHOPS.

Another colonial bishop has left his sheep in the
wilderness, while taking his pastime in England—
the Bishop of Nassau, in the Bahamas. Dr.
'Venal,les was consecrated in 1803, and is only. 41
years old, so that he can hardly yet be invalided. The
Bishop of Honolulu has been heard of in- South
America. The Bishop of Mauritius leaves England
on the 10th.

Earl Nelson sends some statistics to the Times with
regard to the colonial bishops now permanently
resident in England. Excluding Bishop Selwyn,
whom Mr. Gladstone specially excepted from his
remarks, there are twelve retired colonial bishops
now in the country. Of these, two are receiving
part of their stipend, one of them having served as a
missionary and a bishop thirty-seven years ; and the
other was biihop in an unhealthy island of the
West Indies twenty-six years. There are two
Indian bishops who have served the full
time, entitling them to a pension, and
have retired, as men in the civil !service
do. Dr. Smith, of Hongkong,. has retired also on a
pension, after eighteen years' service. There are
three bishops who hold preferment in this country,
but no pension—Bishop Nixon, who served twenty-
two ears -in Tasmania, and is in such. a state of

COMMITTING BIGAMY FOR MONEY.

The person giving the name of Major-General Haynes,
who was recently charged with marrying a lady and obtain-
ing her money, ho at tho time being a married man, was again
on Saturday before the sitting Alderman at the Mansion
House. Mr. Lewis, who prosecuted, said that in addition t o the
charge of obtaining money under 'false pretences, the pri-
soner would be chargod with bigamy. Some three years
ago the prisoner married a young lady named Richards,
belonging to a highly respectable family, and they had two
or three children. His true name was James Walter WAI-
- and he bad no title to assume the ammo of Major-Ge-
neral Haynes of the Madras Army, who was a married man,
and to whom the announcement of a marriage contracted in
his name had given great pain. It appeared that some short
time ago the prisoner made the acquaintance of Miss Lee.
Ai riving at King's-cross station ho complained of being un-
well, and scut her off ley herself. On reachine home she
'was informed that she had been done, and she then came
to London, and gave the prisoner into custody.
Evidence was given in support of the charge, and the in-
quiry again adjourned.

Race Glasses, by Voigthinder, are now so longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the groat demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, au opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge
their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlauder at
comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say that
quality is as ever matchless.
