PIT-BURYING IN GLASGOW.

Tho barbarous practice of pit-burying still con-
tinues in at least two of the cemeteries o Glasgow,
although it is satisfactory to know that the magis-
trates of the city have at length interposed theirauthority to put a stop to such a heinous
custom. The Dean of Guild states that, "computing
for a period of ten years, t 5,600 bodies were lying in
a state of decomposition around the Infirmary ;" and
he proceeds to speak of a burial pit behind the
Infirmary which he saw opened up, presenting i‘a
scene such as but few have witnessed for hideous-
ness. ThiS disgusting mode of sepulture is only pur-
sued with the very poorest of the people. In one of
the cemeteries we are inforined that—

"Alongside and within the south- boundary wall, at a
particular part, there is a series of about ten vaults or pits,
each twelve feet deep, and separated from each other by
brick partitions. Each pit is capable of holding about
eighty coffins. Five of the series are yet untenanted. One
of the number is always ready- for interments, and coffins
continue to be laid within it in courses, with thin layers of
earth between, till the vault is built up to a height of
about nine feet. Three feet of mould then cover the
whole, and the mouth of this charnel-house is finally sealed
rp by a large flagstone cemented in its place."
- - -

As the .North British Mail truly says, all distinc-
tions are of course lost to the sorrow n • survivors ii
this mixed mass of mouldering urn an ty occupying
a common tomb. It is estimated that every day it.
the year there are close on 100,000 corpses decaying
in the cemeteries within the city. After this, is it
any wonder that the rate of mortality is so high in
Glasgow ?

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT BASLE.

The International Working Men's Congress at Basle
devoted a short time to the discussion of the trades union
question. The Congress declared that th 3 international
character of labour and capital required an international
organisation of the trades unions. It was afterwards ex-

plained that a double organisation would be necessary ;
first, all the trades of a country ought to be nationally
organised among themselves, and the various
Organisations ought to be combined internationally.
M. Durrant, a Paris jeweller, said that they
must not; attach too much importance to trades unions,
and they would do better to embark in co-ope-
rative production than saving money for strikes. M.
ilins, of Brussels, declared that trades unions represented
the social and political organisation of the future. Mr.
Cameron, of Chicago, delivered a speech, which was trans-
lated into French and German, and was very well received.
The President, in reply, expressed a hope that a European
delegate might return the compliment next year at Cin-
cinnati, and observed that anything which seriously affected
the working-class movement in either hemisphere must
necessarily react upon the other.

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AT BOULOGN

An association for the advancement of the working
classes I.a; just presided over an industrial exhibition at
Boulogne. As the entries were limited to the particular
department of which Boulogne is a leading town, the
works exhibited were not numerous, ncr were the speci-
mens of a kind that would allow of fair compoison with
English labour, except in one or two subjects. This was
the first attempt, and was necessarily on a small scale, but
in future years it is highly proLablo that the scheme thus
initiated will be more fully developed.

THE FRANKFORT SWISS.

Tho Cologne Gazette says it is stranga that the Bund
should expect the Swi ;s Government to we its influence
with the Prussian Ministry in defence of such systema•tic
rogu'ry as that practised by thn Frankfort Swiss. The
pit Iciples of the Federal Constitution, which entail a long
residence on: the naturalised subject, cannot be reconciled
with the practice of naturalising minors whose parents aro
Prussian subjects.

THE nlsnornic OF CORNWALL.

A correspondent of the Daily News writes, urging
very earnestly the appointment of a Bishop of Corn-
wall. He points out that Exeter is not the centre of
th© diocese; Plymouth, "the true emporium of com-
mercial
life in the west," is more convenient. But as
Exeter must be retained, Cornwall should have its
own bishop. Devonshire is a diocese large enough,
but Cornwall is so scattered and difficult for travelling
that a bishop's acquaintance with each of his parishes
and all his clergy is impossible. The Methodists
are not unfriendly to the change, and there is no
" real difficulty about funds "
" The riches of the chapter of Exeter properly belong to
both counties, and at a separation ought to be fairly
divided. As the Ecclesiastical Commissioners are tho
about to augment the funds of the diocese of Exeter, a fair
division would amply provide for the Cornish episcopate,
without (as some of the local papers suggested) going to
the Dean and Canons of Windsor to supply us out of their
very large rectorial tithes derived from this part of
England."

WESTMINSTER.

EXTENSIVE ENIBEZZLEMEXT.—henry Morrish, late as-
sistant to Mr. White, baker, of 88, King's-road, Chelsea,
was charged with a series of embezzlements.
Prisoner's wages in the service amounted to about 225.
per week, and it was his duty to take round the bread,
and at evening to account for the money received. A few
days ago he went out with the broad and never returned,
and it was discovered that ho had embezzled several sums
of money, £2 12s. from Mr. Charles Dean iu ono day, and
other sums amounting to £lO.
Phe prisoner, having been duly cautioned by the ma-
gistrate, pleaded guilty, said nothing in reply to the charge,
and when asked if ho had anything to say before son-
tenco, replied iu the negative, and could give no account
of the money.
Mr. White said he would not have been hard on the
prisoner were it not that he had discovered that iu his last
situation prisoner had boon charged with embezzlement
and locked up, but the prosecutor did not press the charge
against him.

Mr. White said a week ago ho came home and said ho
had lost £1 10s., and ho forgave him.
Mr. Soil° said it was a bad case, and under his recently
conferred powers by a now Act of Parliament, sentenced
him to six mouths' hard labour.

ECONOMY OP MILITARY EXPE!sTDITITPE

A special meeting of members of the International
Statistical Congress has been held at the Hague, to hear
an address from Mr. Edwin Chadwick on the means of

economising war expenditure. Mr. Newmarch, presiden'
of the Statistical Society of London, took the chair. Mr.
Chadwick began his address by commenting upon the vast
burthenwhichvaeighed upon Europe in the annual expendi
ture of 280 millions sterling, for the MR intenan ce of more than
three million of nun under arms in unproductive, and
frequently in demoralising conditions. Mr. Chadwick then
suggested that an important mean; of economising this
expenditure woul 1 be found in the introduction of mili-
tary and naval exercises into public schools. We can, ha
asserts, import a complete military and also a naval drill
to 130 boys at the expense of keeping and drilling ono
adult. So far from this preparatory military training
proving disadvantageous to the boys in civil pursuits, it is
found to be directly beneficial. The project is being
debated in Canada and the United States, and it has
recently been decided that military exercises shall form
part of the training in all the French Lycees. When boys
who have received this preparatory training enlist, they
are generally accepted as having been in the ranks before,
and by this means Mr. Chadwick thinks the expenses of
cu • military system might be very much diminished. His
views were favourably received by the members of the
Congress, many of whom brought forward additional evi-
dence in support of them.

THE ELECTIOX COMMISSIONS.

Maybe our readers have not yet forgotten a ban-
quet given a day or two back at \V ednesbury, to Mr.
Brogden, M.P. Several Liberal members of Parlia-
ment on that occasion gave conclusive evidence to
Mr. Brogden's character ; and it was clear from their
testimony that a pure; a more high-minded and
patriotic politician did not exist. Now a Mr.
Alexander Brogden, also an M.P., has been be-
fore the Bridgwater Election Commissioners. Ho is
precisely like the hero of the Wodnesbury banquet
except in one particular. While he of the after-
dinner speeches was a little raised above the common
errors of humanity, the Bridgwater Brogden gave the
Commissioners such a character of himself that they
expressed doubts as to whether he ought to sit in
Parliament at all. Shortly stated, what Mr. Brogden
said was this : He had been asked to contest Bridg-
water, but declined to do so. Subsequently he
introduced Mr. Vanderbyl as a candidate, told him
that £1,500 would be required ; and knowing per-
fectly well that that money would be used for bribery,
brought £l,lOO down with him, and handed it to Mr.
Vanderbyl's agent. Being conclusively convinced that
the previous money was being spent illegally, Mr.
Brogden afterwards advanced more, to the total
amount of £3,000. And ho confessed all this to the
Commissioners without the slightest sense of shame.
He did not (ho remarked) think he was responsible.
Well might they denounce his "detestable doctrine,"
and express doubts whether he 'ought to sit in Parlia-
ment. But Mr. Brogden's evidence inculpates others
besides himself; it was clear that Mr. Vanderbyl
knew where the money was going. Mr. Anstoy, at the
close of the day's inquiry, said :
From the facts which had comp to his knowledge he
felt quite convinced that at the time the inquiry took
place before Mr. Justice Blackburn, both Mr. Kinglake and
Mr. Vanderbyl know that money had been spent at the
election, and that what they told was a gross lie ; they
must have been aware that the election had not been won
without money. He had no belief in personal
innocence.

This announcement was received in court with
laughter.
Ancither M.P.—Mr. Christopher Sykes—told a
tale at Beverley quite as deplorable and nearly at the
same time as Mr. Brogden told his. Mr. Sykes did
not know generally that money was being spent ; but
holding all boroughs to be, more or loss, under " pecu-
niary influence," he believed things were not altogether
pure at Beverley. He denied, however, in the first part
of his evidence that ho had advanced money for
illegal purposes ; but further on he stated that
a Mr. Daniel Boyes pledged himself to prevent a
contest for £5OO. Mr. Boyes was promised tho
money by Mr. Sykes and Sir Henry Edwards ;
and notwithstanding that there was a con-
test, was recuperated after the election. Mr.
Sykes was wisp enough to throw up Beverley
and contest the East Riding, which he won. His
colleague stuck to the rotten borough, and was un,
seated.

THE RELEASE OF TIIE FENL4NS.

"Inquirer" in the Times calls attention to the
meeting held at Castlebar, on behalf of the release of
the Fenian prisoners. He confesses that the descrip-
tion of England, given by the chairman, Mr. George
startled him. "Hei
as been the sword, he;
Isa
said
diadem has been the black cap, and her Throne
lisceepnge,'l‘'
has been the gallows for the last 700 years. For
,thMe OPra"tofra,‘.7‘lK
more than seven centuries we have been the
bondmen of that meat pharisee of nations. Every
constituted authority in Europe trembles for resist-
ance against the bloody and iron heel of oppression.
England is steeped deep in the blood of India; red-
handed from the massacre of the women of Jamaica,
she exists with the blood of twenty generations of
dead Irishmen standing between her and God on
high, and, with the bones of Irishmen still suffering
in her dungeons, she calls upon us to applaud the
proud policy of her Government." "Inquirer" not
unnaturally suggests that this " tall" languag,e is hardly
likely. to charm or conciliate the Celtic race, upon
conciliating whom so much trouble is to be lavished,
so many sacrifices to be made. Also, it may be ques-
tioned if in it can be found calm, prudent words
worthy either of ari Irish gentleman or of a
British senator. tf what Mr. Moore thinks of
a seat in Pei:Hs:next may bo assumed from
the expre:vion he anlied to it when he spoko
of "the beast Qf Parliament, the brutal Govern-
ment." it can hardly be a matter of surprise that
the obligations of his position are accounted of little
moment.

THE IRISH CHURCH BE-ORGANISATION.

The General Synod of Dublin is proceeding with
its work. The decision against the admission
of deans and archdeacons as ex officio members in the
new Church Body, is, notwithstanding the over-
whelming majority by which it was arrived at,
causing much discussion ; and Archdeacon Stokes
has handed in a protest against giving over the Church
to governance by popular clamour. Other members of
the Synod, seeing the same thing, tried to introduce
the representation of minorities, but failed. Then
came the most important' question which the Synod
has to consider—the reprseentation of the laity. The
Archdeacon of Dublin proposed to ask the Bishops
for permission to consider a scheme creating a third
house, or " order," of laity ; that house having no
power in tho matter of doctrine or discipline. The
representation of the laity was moved to bo beyond
tho sphere of the Synod, and the Archdeacon's pro-
position was negatived.

CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION.

Great Yarmouth has been the scene of a large
Conservative banquet, the cost of which was.
defrayed by Sir E. 11. K. Lacon, M.P., to whom an
elegant centre-piece, of the value of £6OO, was pre-
sented by his constituents. In the. course ,of his
speech, the chairman asserted that the Conservative
cause was Still paramount in Yarmouth. Major
Walpole, M.P., also spoke. Referring to the land
question in Ireland, he said that if the measure intro-
duced into the House was fair as between landlord
and tenant, and if it respected the rights of property,
it would be met by him in no party spirit; but if the
rights of property were assailed—if the property of
the landlord WOrt3 attacked—by the measure, it
would have, as any other Radical measure would
have, his most determined opposition. Mr. Corrance,
M.P., dealt several hard blows at the Liberal Govern-
ment, and contended that the policy adopted in refe-
rence to the Irish Church would be repeated in con-
nection with the land question. To such a policy he
counselled resistance.

Nothing certain is yet known at Rome respecting the
participation of the secular Powers in tho (Ecumenical
Council. No preparations have been made for any diplo-
matic representatives, as, until France has taken the initi-
ative, the other Powers hold back. The commissions ap-
pointed by the Pope to make preparations for the Council
have, it is said, finished their work. They have prepared
the resolutions and arguments, as it is intended to confirm
the discussions to certain subjects. The Freemasons'
lodges in Berlin, Italy, and France have all convoked
counter-meetings and congresses, and a congress of Free-
thinkers has been summoned by Signor Ricciardi to meet in
Naples in December. A large order for red shirts is being
executed in Sicily, and this is believed in some quarters to
indicate that an outbreak of the Republicans will occur
during the sitting of the Council.

THE LATEST BARONET.

Mr. Gladstone's colleague in the representation.
Greenwich, Alderman Salornons, has received the
honour of a baronetcy. Sir David opened official
life to his co-religionists in this country more than
thirty years ago by holding the alTointments' 01
Sheriff of Kent and Sussex, and soon afterwards 113
contesting the aldcrmanic gown of the ward of Port-
saw]. Although not the first Jew elected to Parlia-
ment, he was the first who took his seat in the House
of Commons. His fellow-citizens so full`- appreciated
his services as Lord Mayor of London, that they pre-
sented a memorial in I&3U to the Prime Minister of
the day, asking that they should receive proper recog-
nition.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

Thus far there las been attic that is cA,I4Ing lit -tno
proceedings taken before the registration courts now
sitting in various parts of the country. Large addi-
tions have been made to the register in some quarters,
but nearly everywhere the lodger class exhibits the
utmost indifference to the possession of the franchise.
The Valuation Appeal Court in Edinburgh has
decided that in the case of a county property
supposed to confer two votes, only the assessor and
the owners of the property can be heard. This ruling,
if it will hold water, will greatly increase the facili-
ties for creating faggot votes. The assesssor has not
necessarily any interest in the political influence of
the valuation, and counsel against valuation will not
bo heard.

TUE BEALES TESTIMONIAL.

There have been various good things promised to
Mr. Beales ; he has been told of County Court judge-
ships, flattered with the hope of testimonials, and
even been thought eligible for the post of minister in
some Dissenting chapels. He has got neither the
judgeship nor the testimonial, and would hardly care
for the offered pulpit. The testimonial, however, he
ought to have had by this time. Subscriptions seem
to have been sent towards it ; but months have passed
and its promoters are sleeping; nothing is to be hoard
either of it or them ; except from a solitary sub-
scriber, who would just like to know what has been
done with his money.

Committee of the National Reform Union. Mr.
Stokes, the chairman, in paying a tribute to ,the
memory of the deceased, observed that during a
great portion of this century he had worked actively
in the van of the army of Reformers, and the variouz
political works which he had written had exercised
immense influence in enlightening the public mind
on the advantages of Free Trade and other questions
of Reform. Throughout a long life the General had
honestly and consistently endeavoured to promote the
well-being of his countrymen.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

ARKLOW (County Wicklow), Thursday.
The screw steamer Hellenis, of London, bound
from Naples and Lisbon to Dublin with a general
cargo, and having 26 bullocks on deck, grounded
yesterday morning on Arklow Bank during a strong
gale from W. to W.S.W. (says Dr. Halpin). The
Arthur Venables lifeboat, belonging to the National
Lifeboat Institution, was launched with all
dispatch, and proceeded to the stranded vessel
through a very high sea and much broken water.
The officers and crew of the wreck, twenty-one in
number, were takes into
.the boat by means of a
whip from the fore yardarm. The lifeboat having
dropped to leeward about two miles and a half, had
a strong pull back to harbour against the heavy
gale and tide, but she eventually landed in
perfect safety all on board, thirty-six men, includ-
ing her own crew, and is stated to have behaved
very well. The steamer has become a total wreck.
The master of the wrecked vessel speaks in the
highest terms of the admirable manner in which
the coxswain and crew managed the lifeboat under
the difficult circumstances they had to encounter.
The. Wicklow, Courtown, and Cahore lifeboats
which belong to the Lifeboat Society, were also
laurchod, with the view of rendering assistance at
this wreck, but their services, of course, were not
required.

The Devon and Somerset stagbounds will meet on
Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Clouts Liam, and on Friday, Sept.
24, at Haddon, each day, at 10 45.

PAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-

TIIE LATE DR. RUNT.

The secretary of the Anthropological Society of
London denies the accuracy of the statement which
has appeared touching the cause of the death of Dr.
James hunt. The illness which terminated so fatally
was induced by sunstroke, and not by the "treatment
of anthropology at the Exeter meeting of the British
Association." Dr. Hunt, it is stated, was singularly
capable of sustaining opposition; his courage rose
with the storm, and his resources were such as never
to fail him, although success was often not attained.
