EDINBUIion. UNIVEI?SITY.

honorary degrees have been conferred by the University
of Edinburgh on several eminent men on the occasion of the
installation of the now Chancellor. Professor Macpherson,
whose office it was to present the claimants of this distinc-
tion to the Lord Justice-General, remarked in introducing
Mr. Matthew Arnold, that it must be gratifying to his lord-
ship to confer his first honorary degree on so eminent a scn
of the University of Oxford, of which ho was hlmtelf a
graduate. The next on the list was Dr. Lyon Playfaire
who enjoys the distinction of being the first Parliamentary
representative of the Scottish Universities. Professor Mac-
pherson commented upon tho regret with which the Senates of
the Edinburgh University saw themselves deprived of Lis
valuable assistance, although they felt that he should belong
to a wider sphere of action. Sir Charles Wheatstone was
the last to to presented to the Chancellor, and the Professor
dwelt at some length on the value and extent of the services
which he had rendered to science and to mankind. A
singular effect was produced by the firing of the time-
gun at the very moment when the Professor spoke
of Sir Charles Wheatstone's discoveries in telegraphy, and
of the light emitted from the electric discharge. After the
degrees had been conferred the Lord Justice-General read
his inaugural address as Chancellor. He examined the
relative merits of the English and Scotch universitysystems,
giving his opinion that on the average the Scotch gradu-
ates excelled the English, though they had not pro-
duced any scholars equal to those who carried off
the highest English honours. In conclusion he referred to
the increasing necessity for the endowment and institution
of additional professorship', especially in the natural science
derartmenta.

RUSSIA AND TURRET.

A. "circular note" was recently sent by the Russian
Government to the various European capitals, com-
plaining of the rigid naturalisation law by
which the Porte strove to prevent the wholesale
alienation of Turkish subjects. Passports were
given to persons owing allegiance to Turkey ; they
crossed the frontier and became Russian and Greek sub-
jects, as the case night be. The Porte declared that all
such persons should still be regarded as subjects of the
Sultan. The North-East Correspondence states that the
Russian note has produced its effect. The Ottcmau
Government is disposed to modify its decree.

SERVIAN AFFAIRS.

The Porte has recognised the right of the Servian
Government to make commercial treaties. This point has
been in dispute for some time, and the concession of the
Turkish Government is therefore a new guarantee of
peace in the East. But the correspondent of the Telegraph
is, nevertheless, confident in the prophecy of future
trouble. He says that the assassination of poor Prince
Michael was really promoted by Russian agents, because
the Prince had turned his face from his old protector,
and bad adopted the policy of peace, or rather
of quiet, advocated by England, France, and Austria.
But, unfortunately, the crime was useless, for the Govern-
ment is still conducted on the same principles of non-
agitation. Russia is therefore again at work attempting
to change the Government—to overturn the present
Regency, and put a member cf the Karageorgewitzh family
in its place. The correspondent of the Telegraph thinks
that the assassination of the bead of the regency, Milivoi,
is by no means improbable. "The tru th of the saying that
'threatened men live long' was terril 43- disproved i n the case
of poor Prince Michael, u ho had a menacing leiter, in which
lie had scorned to put faith, in his pocket at the time he
was mercilessly butchered by Joko, Costa, Lazar, and
Stanoc ; and I fear that Milivoi Petrovich, by far the
most able and upright ruler that Servia has possessed for
many years, is just now in grievous peril." All this must
he very comforting to the said Milivoi ; but we have heard
these predictions before.

THE TAUNTON ELECTION PETITION:

In the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, Mr Mellish,
Q.C., said that at the last election the contest for the
representation of this borough lay between Mr. Serjeant
Cox and Mr. Henry James, and the first-named gentle-
man was returned as member. Subsequently a petition
was presented against the return of Mr. Serjeant Cox,
and this petition claimed the seat for Mr. James. The
case came on for trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn, who
unseated Mr. Serjeant Cox and seated Mr. James. Within
twenty-one days of this decision being arrived at two
electors for the borough presented a second petition, in which
they urged that the return of Mr. James was void, for bri-
bery. The present application was for a rule calling on these
two gentlemen to show cause why their petition should not
be taken off the file and quashed ; and it was stated that
at the hearing before Mr. Justice Blackburn notice was
given that recriminatory charges would be made against Mr.
James. Mr. James and his witnesses were cross-examined
in reference to the recriminatory charges, though no evi-
dence was given upon the matter on the other side. It
was now submitted to the court that the question raised
by the second petition was really raised on the first occa-
sion, and that there was no right to have the (location
tried a second time. Rule granted.

" A Somerset Elector' writes : "Judge Black.
burn decided that Mr. Serjeant Cox was not duly
elected for Taunton because certain persons who voted
for him had been paid money by the Conservative
Association to attend the Barrister's Court. Mr. James
was thereupon declared member for Taunton in his place.
We, in Taunton, knowing that the Liberal Association
had done the same thing for- Mr. James's voters, have
petitioned against him upon the strength of Judge
Blackburn's decision being a declaration of the law of
the land. Baron Martin has been appointed to try the
petition against Mr. James, but it so happens that Baron
Martin, at Bewdley, after the Taunton petition trial,
declared that the members there (at Bewdley) were not
respowible for what the Liberal Association bad done ;
we, therefore, object most emphatically against Barou
Martin coming to try a point on which he has already
expressed his opinion."

THE GUNPOWDER PLOT IN EGYPT.

The attempt to assassinate the Viceroy of Egypt is a
strange enigma. The affair was dramatic enough from
the nature of the scheme, but the current statements as
to the originator of it render it still more fit for the
"boards." The correspondent of the Levant Times says
that the manager of the theatre himself concocted the
plot, and arranged the details of the bomb and the powder
train which were destined to improve the Viceroy off the
face of the earth. More remarkable still, this manager
first gave information to the authorities, desiring to
gain credit for saving his Highness's life rather than to
immortalise himself by taking it. If this be correct,
there was, then, no plot at all. However, the manager is
in prison with his accomplices, and a commission, consist-
ing of the English, Austrian, French, and Italian Consuls,
is appointed to investigate the affair. His Highness, it
seems, will not trust the case to his own subjects.

1011GItATION.

Emigration is by no means considered universally
a panacea among the working classes. A working
man, referring tos the recent meeting at Millwall,
which was addressed by Mr. Measor, two captains,
and two " reverends," protests against the resolu-
tion which was passed, " that immigration is
beyond the power of private charity, and can
be effected only by the Government." He asks,
" What does Government mean ? It means
that you and I, who remain at home

against the money lords and the landlords.
Tlicse men have never asked themselves, Why
is every man who is willing to work not at
work ?" He then criticises another resolution
recommending that "information be diffused among
the working clE.sses on the subject of emigration,"'
and asserts that it would be one-sided ; that nothing
would be said of Canadian snow or Australian
heat. "lon would never hear that the land specu-
lator is there ready to pounce upon you, and that
heavy as is the extortion of the usurer in this
country, his little finger in the colonies is heavier than
are his loins in the land of your birth. One word
more. Always suspect movements at the head
of which are parsons and many captains. Any man
who proposes emigration to the United States is a
traitor to old England." It is curious to find such
strong prejudices among a class who might have
been expected to fall into the opposite error, of con-
sidering emigration as an infallible cure for
pauperism, which the Government was bound to
apply at the public expense.

LIBERAL UNANIMITY.

pern aps nO stronger proof has been furnished of the
unity pervading the Liberal party than was witnessed
in the house Commons on Thursday night. During
the proceedings in committee on the Irish Church
Bill, Mr. Pim, the Liberal member for Dublin, moved
a certain amendment, which Mr. Gladstone refused
to accept. A brisk discussion ensued, and
the Conservative party declared their intention
of dividing the House on the matter. A division
was accordingly called for, and it was but natural to
suppose that the mover of the amendment would
support his own motion. Instead of doing that,
however, he went into the lobby with the Minis-
terialists—a fact which was Dot discovered until he
walked up the floor of the house with the Ayes.
No sooner was it seen that he had gone in
favour of the Government than the LiLeral
members set up a loud cheer, much to the
surprise of Mr. Pim. The Coniervatives -raised an
ironical cheer at the erratic course pursued by the
hon. member for Dublin. Mr. Pim justified his
conduct by stating to his friends around him that

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE LAND QUESTION.

There seems to be a good deal of dissatisfaction
felt, not merely among the Opposition, at the con-
duct of the Government respecting the Irish land
question. It is felt that in such a question as this
delay is 'dangerous. It is stated that the most extra-
vagant expectations are being raised among the Irish
tenantry and peasantry, and it is urged that these
ought to be checked at once. The political opponents
of the Government say plainly that in refusing to
support Lord Clanricarde's measure, or to bring
in a bill of their own Ministers are intentionally
" providing matter to lieep alive for another year
(the words are Lord Salisbury's) the expectations of
every man who hopes for revolutionary change in
regard to the landed property of Ireland from the
Liberal . Government." In the meanwhile the
desperate tenacity which the Opposition are dis-
playing in disputing every clause of the Irish Church
Bill, and the enormous number of amendments
which have been placed upon the notice paper,
extending to fifteen printed folios, are affording the
Government just the excuse that they wanted for
not dealing with the land question this session. They
may well say in the face of such resistance that one
great measure is enough for them, and that how-
ever desirous they might be to bring forward a
second, there would be absolutely no time for them
to do so.

THE CHARGE OF HERESY AGAINST MR.

BEWNETT, OF FROME.

The charge of heresy against Mr. Bennett, of Frome,
came yesterday before the Court of Arches. An important
point was raised at the outset. An application was made
on the part of the promoters of the suit that the letters of
request from the Bishop of Bath and Wells should be
accepted by the court.
Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C. (with whom was Dr.
Tristram), made the motion, and urged that the Bishop
having issued his letters of request, the Court was bound
to accept them and hear the suit. The Bishop of London
had issued his commission, before whom evidence was
taken in the case in November. On that report being
forwarded to the Bishop of Bath and Wells, his lordship
sent letters of request to this court.

Sir R. Phillimore observed that he did not find any
reasons why the court should accept the letter of request,
or why the case should be sent from an inferior to a supe•
rior court. He could not find any reason set forth in the
letters.

Dr. Stephens submitted that it was not necessary.
His Lordship said the point of the learned counsel then
was that they were not letters of request, but in effect
letters of command from an inferior court to a superior
court.

Mr. Stephens thought his lordship had correctly put the
point, and cited the 13th section of the Church Discipline
Act, which he read.

Sir Robert Phillimore : Your proposition is that I have
no option.

Mr. Stephens: That is so, my lord, provided the letters
*re properly made and executed.

Dr. Tristram, on the same side, said the practice under
the Church Discipline Act was not to assign any reason.
_ _ _

Mr. Stephens said but for the new rule of the court this
present application would not have been necessary.
His Lordship said the question was certainly an im-
portant one, and he would consider it before he gave his

THE CASE OF WILTSHIRE.

The reply
.of the Home Secretary to Sir George
Jenkinson, giving the reason for the respite of the
man Wiltshire, rs both satisfactory and alarming.
It entirely vindicates the action of Mr. Bruce in
the matter, and demonstrates to a nicety the
expediency of having some such court of
appeal as the Home Office provides. 'But it is
enough to destroy one's faith altogether in the
administration of the law. The story Mr. Bruce
presented to the House is most difficult of explana-
tion. We know that twelve men sworn to do justice,
under the direction of a judge, found Wiltshire
guilty of having committed a most atrocious crime—
with having most brutally violated and murdered
a woman. _but no sooner does the excitement
incidental to the trial wear off, no sooner is the over-
heated air of the court exchanged for a freer
atmosphere, than ten of the twelve men write off to
the Government saying that they do not think that
Wiltshire committed murder after all. The woman,
they say , probably died from exhaustion caused by
drinking. In.this theory they are supported by the
,fudge ; and, of course, the Home Secretary is bound
to. do what he can to rectify the blunder. But
is this the usual way that judge and jury do
their business ? Are they often so hasty
that when they come to collect their thoughts
they find that they have made a mistake? Is
the excitement of
a trial for murder such that a
trained judge and a sworn jury cannot be trusted
In this case it must be noted the evidence
urged upon the Home Secretary was given
at the trial, but no notice appears to have
been taken -of it. It looks as if trial by
jury were degenerating into a machine for the col-
lection of evidence. If this cannot be prevented, at
least let us have a' recognised Court of Appeal
appointed, and let us no longer look to one hard-
worked man to try these cases over again privately,
and to bear the odium of all the mistakes into which
juries may fall.

SERVIAN AFFAIRS.

The Porte has recognised the right of the Servian
Government to make commercial treaties. This point has
been in dispute for some time, and the concession of the
Turkish Government is therefore a new guarantee of
peace in the East. But the correspondent of the Telegraph
is, nevertheless, confident in the prophecy of future
trouble. He says that the assassination of poor Prince
Michael was really promoted by Russian agents, because
the Prince had turned his face from his old protector,
and had adopted the policy of peace, or rather
of quiet, advocated by England, France, and Austria.
But, unfortunately, the crime was useless, for the Govern.
meat is still conducted on the same principles of non•
agitation. Russia is therefore again at work attempting
to change the Government—to overturn the present
Regency, and put a member of the Karageorgewitch family
in its place. The correspondent of the Telegraph thinks
that the assassination of the head of the regency, Milivoi,
is by no means improbable. "The truth of the saying that
threatened men live long' was terribly disproved in the case
of poor Prince Michael, who had a menacing letter, in which
he had scorned to put faith, in his pocket at the time he
was mercilessly butchered by Joko, Costa, Lazar, and
Stanoc ; and I fear that Milivoi Petrovich, by far the
most able and upright ruler that Servia has possessed for
many years, is just now in grievous peril." All this must
be very comforting to the said Milivoi ; but we have heard
these predictions before.

THE REPEAL OF THE UNION.

A:pamphlet of a somewhat sensational character
has just appeared in Dublin, under the alarming title
of " Irish Loyalty and English Gratitude, or Repeal
of the Union the Certain Result of the Destruc-
tion of the Irish Church." It is the production of Mr.
Robert Staples, J.P., of Dunmore, who sets himself
to prove that a startling change of feeling has taken
place among all classes. of Irish Protestants during
the last few weeks. This new sentiment of distrust,
which is of course to be attributed to the Irish
Church Bill, is likely, in Mr. Staples's estimation, to
lead to serious consequences. He warns English-
men not to shut . their eyes and ears to the
signs of the times in Ireland. Discontent is
dangerous when it exists among the lower orders,
but when the leaders of society join in it and direct
it to an object, and that object the repeal of the
Union, it is time to reflect. All reliance and trust in
England must cease for ever with the passage of the
Irish Church Bill, and a determined and united
demand for total repeal will be made—a demand
which England cannot and dares not refuse. How-
ever, Mr. Staples consoles himself, if not his too
credulous readers, by the reflection that Ireland will be
much happier and more prosperous after the repeal.
The Irish nobility will then remain in their own
country instead of seeking fashion in London.
They will lead the national feeling, live at home,
improve their estates, and take in hand the regene-
ration of the people. The social, political, and mate-
rial prosperity of Ireland would, in Mr. Staples's
opinion, receive a quickening impulse, like life to the
dead ; so that the gloomy tone of his first anticipa-
tions is somewhat contradicted by the cheerfulness
of his concluding expectations. Clearly Mr. Staples
ought to be one of the most vigorous supporters of
the Irish Church bill.

THE ROAD AT SEA.

Sir J. HAY asked the President of the Board of
Trade when the remainder of the correspondence on the
subject of the rule of the road at sea would be laid upon
the table ; and whether he would agree to a motion for the
appointment of a select committee of the house to Jinni' e
into the causes of the loss of life and property at sea by
collisions, and as to the possibility of a remedy by some
moditicati .n of he existing rules of the road, so as to bring
them into harmony with the custom of the sea and the
decisions of the courts of law.
Mr. BRIGHT said he was not aware that there was
any correspondence that was really worth the expense of
printing. He objected to the appointment of a select
committee for the reason that no ground existed for a
change in the rule of the road at sea.
