.PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

The first notice on the House of Commons paper for
this evening is Mr. Gladstone's relating to the Irish
Church, which runs as follows I—" Established Church
(Ireland)—That the Acts relating to the Established
Church (Ireland), the Acts relating to Maynooth, and the
first resolution of the House of Commons in the session
of 1868, relating to the Established Church (Ireland),
be read. That this House will immediately resolve
itself into a committee to consider the said Acts
and resolution. In committee to move, that the
chairman be directed to move the House, that leave
be given to bring in a bill to put an end to the establish-
ment of the Church in Ireland, and to make provision in
respect of the temporalities thereof, and in respect of the
Royal College of Maynooth." Major O'Reilly intends to
bring in a bill for further regulating the sale of liquors on
Sunday in Ireland, and Mr. Glyn and Mr. Noel will move
for new writs for the boroughs of Bradford and Bewdley.
On Tuesday Mr. Acland will move for a select corn•
mittee to inquire into the action with reference to agricul-
ture of various public authorities, with a view to consider
the expediency of recommending that some one depart-
ment be made responsible for dealing with adminstra-
tive and legislative questions affecting agriculture. Sir
George Jenkinson has made up his mind to call the
attention of the House to the subject of local tax ation,with a
view to a retnecry of the injustice of the present system of
legislation ; whilst Mr. Hadfield will ask leave to bring in
a bill to amend the law which regulates the burial of
persons in England not belonging to the EstaMishee
Church.

The principal business set down for Wednesday is the
second reading of Mr. Thomas Hughes's Sunday Trading
Bill, and the intention of Mr. Cave to bring in a bill to
amend the law relating to life insurance companies.
Two bills are appointed to be read a second time on
Thursday, viz., the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill (Repeal) and
the Assess eg Rates Bill; and on Friday the Attorney-

ELECTIONEERING ITEMS.

An examination of the polling at Westbury will
shew that Friday's fight was more severe than the
one in November. As in South Derbyshire, so in
the little Wiltshire borough, the Liberals, although
unsuccessful, polled within a few votes of their
opponents, the majority in the former constituency
having been reduced from 139 to 33, and in the
latter from 27 to U. No Liberal has been returned
for Westbury since 1852, when Mr. Wilson defeated
Sir Massey Lopes by the narrow majority of six
votes. At the next general election, however, in
1857, Sir Massey (whose father had represented the
borough for many years) was returned without
opposition, and held the seat undisturbed until last
November, when he retired to fight a successful
battle for his party in South Devon. The
Lopes family is supposed to have a great
deal of influence in Westbury, and for the
last few years it was looked upon as a pocket borough.
On Friday Mr. Phiprs polled seven votes more than
his
N brother did at the general election, whilst Mr.
Lai
•,rton brought up an addition of 23. During
the last hour the most strenuous exertions were put
forward on both sides, as s:l iewn in the fact that the

TEE TICHBOUNE BARONETCY.

The Star states that so far from the claimant to
the Tichborne baronetcy having been massacred by
Indians, or having gone in *Eldest of a gold mine in
the interior of South America, he has returned to
England. His friends report that the result of the
commission is " satisfactory." They add that the
action will be tried on the earliest possible day, and
that the plaintiff and his friends are anxious to bring
it to an issue. Hitherto, it must be confessed, he has
shewn a great "backwardness in coming forward."

CLERICAL DISABILITIES.
Professor Rogers writes to the Star on the violent
language used by the clergy in Convocation, and
considers that they make sober-minded people
think establishments are inconsistent with
Christianity. Ile believes that the legal disabilities
of the English clergy are more serious than those
which affect Roman Catholic priests. Many. of these
disabilities are of modern date, and their conse-
quences are most unfortunate. They make the
whole order enemies to progress and reform, and
every just innovation is a loss to them. Mr. Forster's
whichbill, takes from clergymen the exclusive right to
masterships in schools, presses hardly. on them, and it is
one-sided so long as the professional disabilities are
continued. In Church reforms no compensation is
offered, and, in consequence, nearly all the clergy
resist every reform with the natural instinct of self-
preservation. The remedy- that is suggested is to
have au Act of Parliament relieving every person
from every disability consequent on his calling or
profession. Were such an Act passed clis • lir..
eipwAt
ini-ht revive, and a host of scandals be avoided.

ELEC TIONEEItING ITEMS.

An examination of the polling at Westbury will
shew that Friday's fight was more severe than the
one in November. As in South Derbyshire, so in
the little -Wiltshire borough, the Liberals, although
unsuccessful, polled within a few votes of their
opponents, the majority in the former constituency
having been reduced from 139 to 33, and in the
latter from 27 to 11. No Liberal has been returned
for Westbury since 1852, when Mr. Wilson defeated
Sir Massey Lopes by the narrow majority of six
votes. At the next general election, however, in
1837, Sir Massey (whose father had represented the
borough for many years) was returned without
opposition, and held the seat undisturbed until last
November, when he retired to fight a succeszful
battle for his party in South Devon. The

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.

The.GrandVign&lrak, the highest peak of the French
Pyrenees, has been successfully ascended in the depth of
winter by Count Henry Russell and two guides. The
party bad taken great precautions against cold, but
the heat up the mountain was overpowering, and at 0,000
feet, about 2,000 from the summit, it became almost
unbearable. Higher up the temperature decreased, but
even ou the summit. the thermometer marked tisd,g. in
the sun. Count Russell has sehh climbed mountains in
winter without finding th(!h at greater than in the
and though he cannot expain the paradox, there is no
doubt of the f ct.

TtIE BOTAL Torn TX TGITT:"Nr-

According to the Litgrtj, the thousand and one nights
have been realised in the splendours accumulated at Cairo
for the reception of the Prince and the Princess of Wales.
Their apartments were arrayed in the richest silks of the
East, and garnished with furniture of massive silver. The
Prince and the Princess have gone towards the second cata-
ract of the N ile, which is situated in Nubia, and is nearly 800
miles beyond Cairo. But it is hardly probable that they
will reach that point, for. the waters of the Nile, always
low at this season, have left the bed of the river almost
dry in certain places. " The Princess, of adventurous
disposition, has given orders for small vessels to be pre•
pared, in order to penetrate as far as tossible. She desires
to see the whole of the ever-verdant and fertile valley, that
immense oasis spread like a smile of nature between two
deserts,"

REMARKS.

Yesterday morning a general decrease in pressure had occurred at
all our stations, especially in the N.W.; but since last evening a
recovery of about two-tenths has taken place in Scotland, whilst at
our southern stations the fall has continued. The lowest reading is
now at Yarmouth, and is o'slin. below that at Rochefort. Tempera-
ture had fallen generally on Sunday, but this morning it has risen
again, especially in France. During Saturday night it blew hard from
the N.W. on almost all our coasts, but had subsided semewhat In the
N. and E., and in the Channel yesterday morning. To-day fresh to
strong N.W. winds are general, attaining the force of a gale at Holy-
head and in France. Snow has been general except in the south,
but not heavy ; thunder and lightning in the west. The sky is clear
on the east coast. The sea is moderate. Weather is not yet settled.
Warnings issued to the east coast. From this date Pembrok 3 Hill be

EASTERN EUROPE.

More pacific intelligence comes from the States which
border upon the Ottoman Empire. Every day the official
journal of Roumania contains appointments to public
offices of men who are known to rank amongst the advo•
cates of peace. The members of the late Cabinet are in
disgrace, and the new Ministry, cautious at first, become
more and more confident of holding their. position. In
Crete the inhabitants are engaged in repairing the devas•
tations caused by the revolt, and at all the principal towns
nothing is thought of but the speedy resumption of
business. It is stated that no fewer than 30,000 Cretans still
wait to be taken back to their native land.

TIIE COUNTESS BE AUC sAmr.

The Countess Beauchamp, daughter of the Earl of
Stanhope, who 'Was married last year, has given birth
to a daughter. Earl Beauchamp is better known to
the world as the Hon. Frederic Lygon, under which
name he served as a Lord of the Admiralty, when
Lord Derby was in power. He is now known best as
a prominent High Churchman. He was formerly a
frequent contributor to Archdeacon Denison's Church
and State Gazette, now defunct.

TIIE TICHBORNE BARONETCY.

The Star states that so far from the claimant to
the Tichborne baronetcy having been massacred by
Indians, or having gone in quest of a gold mine in
the interior of South America, he has returned to
England. His friends report that the result of the
commission is " satisfactory." They add that the
action will be tried on the earliest possible day, and
that the plaintiff and his friends are anxious to bring
it to an issue. Hitherto, it must be confessed, he has
shewn a great " backwardness in coming forward."
London, England, 1869-03-01

ARMY AND NAVY MATTERS.

The navy estimates have been published. The
total amount for the financial year 1869-70, is
£9,600,018. The Lords of the Admiralty add
that, for the purpose of comparison, " a reduc-
tion of £203,292 must be made from the
estimated expenditure of 1868-9, being the amount of
the extra receipts (notinduding sales of old stores, &c.)
which were estimated as likely to be paid into the
Exchequer instead of being credited to naval votes.
The net decrease is, therefore, £957,357. The items
on which the largest savings have been effected
are wages to seamen and marines, £274,281;
victuals and clothing for ditto, £153,574; dockyards,
£137,558 ; naval stores, £91,336.; and steam machi-
nery and ships built by authority, £325,430. There
is a decrease in every item except three, namely,
new works and buildings, which shew an increase of
£1,136; half pay, &c., an increase of £20,065; and
military pensions and allowances, £19,281.

The Army and Airvy Gazette believes that the
Army Estimates will shew a reduction of very close
upon a million and a quarter, but the changes in the
army will not be so great as was originally antici-
pated.

According to the Broad Arrow, one of the causes
of Major-General Balfour's temporary retirement
from the War Office was his objection to the
sum of £45,000 for heavy guns for land defences
being included in the Army Estimates, he
believing that as the condemned naval breech-
loaders would be available for land defences
£15,000 would be a sufficient sum. The same paper
mentions a rumour that Lord Northbrook is likely
to vacate the position of Under-Secretary of State
for War, consequent upon a difference of opinion
between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the
President of the Board of Trade. A somewhat
mysterious explanation this. From the same source
we learn that the Queen herself first started the idea,
that Mr. Trevelyan could not serve in her Govern-
ment, holding as he did, unfavourable opinions of the
Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Trevelyan, as we know,
frankly apologised to the Duke of Cambridge, who
as frankly accepted the apology. An attempt is to
be made by Sir James Elphinstone to remove the
Britannia training-ship from Dartmouth to Ports-
mouth, a change which the Broad Arrow strongly
deprecates.

" PRINCES IN ALL LANDS."

Prince Arthur, it is announced, will shortly
complete his course at Woolwich, and will then join
the first battalion of the Rifle Brigade for service in
Canada. The Broad Arrcw goes on to say that
" it would probably be premature to specify this
as the first opportunity which the Prince will
have of becoming acquainted with what may prove
to be his future kingdom." The same authority refers
to the fact that the Duke of Edinburgh is at present
" cruising among his Southern possessions where he
may, at some future day, find a more fitting crown
than that of Greece." It will:be news to our readers
that New Zealand and Australia belong to the Duke
of Edinburgh. We fancy that he has a much better
chance of becoming Duke of Saxe-Coburg than of
becoming King of Australasia.
London, England, 1869-03-01

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT.

RACE.

It is generally considered that Wednesday, March 17,
will be appointed for the race, The original challenge
from Cambridge was for a race on the usual Saturday,
March 20, but owing to the unusually awkward time of
the tide on that occasion, it was found, on consideration,
to be practically impossible. On the 17th the tide will
be high flood near five o'clock in the afternoon,
and the start from Putney, so as to get the cream of the
current, must take place about four p.m. The Oxonians
are expected at Putney on Thursday next, and they will
probably row over the course soon after their arrival. The
Cantabs will be a day or so later, as term arrangements
do not seem to suit the rowing men so well as at Oxford.
Both crews will get into their light boats this week, the
Oxonians to-day, when their ship, which does not seem
suit them exactly, will undergo another trial.

THE COMING DEBATE ON THE IRISH

CHU.RCII,

"Much curiosity and some anxious interest (says the
Star) have been felt as to the course the great debate in the
House of Commons is likely to take. The con-
clusions at which we feel able to arrive at on
the subject are these. We entertain a strong
conviction that there will be no disposition on
the part of the Opposition to delay the introduction
of the bill. Mr. Gladstone's motion will simply be for
the intz oduction of a bill—made, we presume, in the usual
technical form, instructing the Chairman of the Com-
mittee to bring in the bill. In moving this, Mr. Glad-
stone is expected to make a very long and entirely
exhaustive speech. The whole scheme of the Government
will, if our anticipations are verified, be before the country
in the parliamentary columns of Tuesday morning's
newspapers, Supposing that no immediate opposition is
offered, the second reading is likely, we surmise, to be
fixed very early, probably not later than Thursday, the
18th of March, so as to leave a clear week for a debate on
the second reading of the bill, should the Opposition
challenge its progress at that stage. Our own belief,
however, is that the bill will be contested chiefly in com-
mittee."

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBERY OF A MEMBER OF THE REFORM CL ÜB.
Rowland Fancbild, a cabman, was charged with stealing a
black leather bag with valuable contents.

PARLIAMENTARY.

- -
The first division in the Reformed Parliameni
took place on Friday night, on Mr. Newdega.te,i
motion to appoint a select committee to inquire into
certain acts relating to Roman Catholic charities and
burials, which was lost by 85 to 40. Several Liberals
voted for the motion,
Mr. Denman, Mr. including Mr. T. Chambers,
Mr. Aytoun, Mr. Crawfurd,
Dod-
son, Mr. McArthur, Sir A. Gibson Maitland, Mr.
Charles Reed, and Mr. White. Among those who
went into the lobby against the proposal were Mr.
Bright, Mr. Bruce, Sir R. Collier, Mr. Forster, Mr. C.
Fortescue,'Mr. Gladstone, Mr. G lyn, Mr. Lowe, and Sir
John Trelawny. The Conservatives voted with the
Government. The tellers for the Ayes were Mr.
N ewde gate and Mr. Greene and for the Noes, Mr.
Maguire and The O'Donoghue.

BIIIDG WATER PETITION.
the unseating of both members for Bridgwater
will not surprise any person who followed the evidence
given against Messrs. Kinglake and Vanderbyl. That
extensive bribery prevailed was clear from the first,
and the members were therefore justified in throwing
up their seats without going through the farce of
a defence. Mr. (Eothen) Kinglake first contested
Bridgwater in 1852, but was defeated by more than
two to one. He again tried in 1857, when he suc-
ceeded by a majority of nearly a hundred. He
was also successful in 1859, 186.5, and 1868,
although at the late election he left the
town at one o'clock, with the full belief that
the election was lost. His colleague, Mr. Vanderbyl,
first attained notoriety at Yarmouth, which borough
he contested in 1865. The commission appointed
to inquire into the practices carried on at the election
proved conclusively that both sides were equally
flagrant, and that the longest purse won the contest.
He defeated Mr. Patton, on being appointed Lord
Advocate of Scotland, in July 1866, and has sat for
Bridgwater ever since. This is not the first time that
the borough has undergone the disgrace of being
considered a corrupt constituency, Mr. Westropp,
a Conservative, was unseated for bribery after
the election of 1805. There cannot be a doubt
that Justice Blackburn's report that "extensive
corrupt practices prevailed " will have its effect in
the House of Commons, and that the borough, if not
wholly disfranchised, will have to undergo penance
for a considerable period.

ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or anv painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth 'bat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed

cation.

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi °yokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

2'llE LAW 3 011- IV AT UICALISAT.LUIV.

The report of the Royal Commissioners for Inquiring
into the Laws of Naturalisation and Allegiance has just
been issued. The commissioners open their report by
declaring their opinion that the doctrine which declares
the allegiance of a natural-born British subject as
indelible is neither reasonable nor convenient. It is
Inexpedient that British law should profess to main-
tain any obligations which it cannot and ought not
to enforce. They accordingly recommend as amend
ments of the law that any British subject who is
naturalised in a foreign country shall cease to be
a British subject ; that the same rule shall
apply to a woman who, being a British subject,
shall become by marriage the citizen of a foreign State ;
that the wife and children of a naturalised British subject
shall also cease to be British subjects if they have emi-
grated with him, but that naturalisation in a foreign
country shall not relieve a British subject from
responsibility for acts done prior to such new
allegiance. Then follow certain provisions for the
applications of these new laws to such British
subjects as are already naturalised. Some difficulty
arose respecting the disabilities which attach by law to
aliens in respect to the holding and inheritance of real
estate. The commissioners advise that such disabilities
should be abolished altogether. The rule which renders
all persons born within the British empire the subjects of
the Queen has in their opinion solid advantages, but they
think it should not be, as it now is, absolute and unbending.
In the case of children of foreign parentage, it should
operate only where a foreign nationality has not been
chosen. In the case of persons of British parentage born
abroad, they advise that the statutes now in force should
be repealed so that the law may be placed on a clearer and
more satisfactory basis. The transmission of British
nationality in families settled abroad should be
limited to the first generation. Provision should
also be made by which British born subjects who may
have lost their British nationality may be readmitted
to the privileges of British subjects, but the certificates
thus granted should not entitle the holders to British
privileges within the country of their foreign naturalisa-
tion. The commissioners are aware that British
legislation on this subject must necessarily be imperfect ;
it require the co-operation of foreign Governments and
Legislatures to:obviateall the inconveniences arises arising
from a double allegiance. The last paragraph of the
report suggests that the system of a mixed jury shall be
abandoned, as it is not compulsory that they
shall be of the same country as the alien whose
cause is tried, and they are, therefore, useless to him. Baron
Bramwell and Mr. Bernard dissent from one point of the
'report, and Mr. Vernon Harcourt from another; but on
the main recommendations the commissioners are unani-
mous.
