MR. VOYSEY.

Mr. Voysey, as everyone must have anticipated, has
lost his first battle : the Chancellor of York expressed
his surprise on Thursday that he still remained
a member of the Church of England. The
rev. gentleman first attracted attention, if we
mistake not, through the columns of the Spectator.
During the summer of 1804 a discussion was
being carried on in that journal by Professor Maurice
and others, upon the basis of Ecclesiastical Unity.
The Spectator itself, upholding as it does the State
Church, laid down that the Liturgy of the Prayer
Book was the basis. That liturgy, the Spectator
said, could hardly be used without a belief such as
would warrant prayer to Jesus. The Miraculous
Conception came under review in the course of the
correspondence. One of tho writers, signing himself
"A Yorkshire Incumbent," advanced such startling
views on the subject that the Spectator declared its
astonishment. " A strange testimony this (said our
weekly contemporary) to the value of our subscrip-
tions." The Yorkshire clergyman had given precisely
the same account of Christ's divinity as that so ably
defended by Mr. Voysey on Wednesday at
York—the view, namely, that all men are God in
flesh. There can be little doubt that these two
clergymen aro one; for it is hardly probable that the
same strange doctrine should be held by two incum-
bents in the same county. The letter attracted some
attention in the religious journals of the time; and
was spoken of by the Nonconformist newspapers as
" scandalous."

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

(From the Anglo-American Tina, s.)

turn of events at Fort Garry, where many of the
late employes of the company are opposed to the
rebels, as are the Scotch and English settlers. There
is a rumour that the Governor intends to apply to
the Canadian Government for troops to put down
the insurgents, and to Washington for permission
to move the troops through the North-Western
States. A Chicago despatch says :—" The cause
of the uprising is opposition to being annexed to
the Canadian Confederation under the New Domi-
nion, and a determination on the part of the people
of the British Red River Settlement that they shall
be allowed to remain independent of the British
colony, and subject only to the Government of
England. The affair will probably result in war
and bloodshed before it is ended." The Red River
Settlement consists of 15,000 to 20,000 inhabitants,
not counting the Indians. They are well armed,
and skilled in the use of the rifle. Their assertion
is that, though only 500 men arc under arms, all
favour the cause, as the transfer has been made
without reference to them. Governor M'Dougall
received a courteous letter from the Chippewa In-
dians, asking him to remain for a few days near
the fort of the Hudson's Bay Company, till they
could learn what this transfer of their territory
meant.

'THE GAME LAWS.

The farmers' raid against the Game Laws continues
with great spirit. The Scottish Chamber of Agricul-
ture has " interviewed" the Lord Advocate on the
subject. This body does not go the whole length or
the English farmers. The president informed the
Lord Advocate that he and his companions were
quite content that the landlords should have the
winged game as now ; hares and rabbits were the
great source of mischief. The farmer ought to have
complete power to kill the ground game, and
it ought to be made illegal for • two men
to enter into a contract by which the occupants of the
land were to be deprived of that right. The Lord.
Advocate promises to bring the matter before the
Government.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
Vie short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterna::
on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 126.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it %pp,:Ars that
gold at the above prioe is slightly dearer in Parts than in
L lador

It has just been notified at Aldershot that no
alterations are to be made in Government buildings
without the sanction of the Lieut.-General com-
manding, upon an application submitted through
the Commanding Royal Engineer. Whenever al-
terations at private expense are authorised, the per-
sons occupying the buildings must, on completing
the alterations, obtain a certificate that the work
has been done to the satisfaction of the Command-
ing Royal Engineer. When such a certificate is
not produced, time quarters on being vacated will be
restored to their original construction at the expense
of the late occupier.

A winter session is not improbable. Should the
Government resolve on the vigorous suppression of the
almost open rebellion that is spreading iu Ireland, the
Parliament will be summoned for a short session of a week
to give the necessary powers.—Law Times.

THE OVEREND AND GURNEY
PROSECUTIOP.

The defendants in this case appear to be anxious to press
rorward the trial. On Friday morning an application was
made in Chambers to the Lcird. Chief Justice of the Queen's
Bench to place the case first on the list for Friday, the 10th
instant, being the first day of the sittings at Guildhall,
but his lordship reserved his decision with a view to ascer-
tain how the business of the court stood. It is said that
counsel have not yet been instructed to support the
indictments, and that thero. is a probability of theprosecu-
tion falling through.

DISHONEST NUNS.

The Tablet learns from a trustworthy source, and upon
more than one authority, that certain so-called Ritualist
nuns are travelling about France, and passing themselves off
for English Catholic sisters. They call at convents and on
private families under the pretence of collecting alms for an
interesting Catholic charity,and are fillin,gtheir purses every-
where. They then betake themselves to the best hotels, live
for a time on the fat of the land, order their baths I=Anylaise,
feast on the best dinners, and drink the choicest wines.
A discriminating English lady suddenly came upon
them the other day as they were thus regaling their
wearied spirits in an hotel in the South of France, after the
anxieties and toils of lying and begging. It appears that
these women in nuns' clothing have bee* making a most
successful raid ; " ces chores Saws A nylaises" excite the
tenderest interest and sympathies among the good French
people whom they victimise.

TILE NEW ZEALANDERS' LOVE FOR THE
MILITARY.

The Pall .L.Trall Ga:ette publishes the following extract
from a letter written by one of the oldest colonists in New
Zealand, a shrewd, canny Scot, as "presenting a view of
Lord Granville's policy which should at least suggest in-
quiry." The writer says :—"We shall never see the end
of the present disturbances as long as a single regiment of
Imperial troops is to be had. There is a certain set of men
here who have hitherto lived and made fortunes out of the
supplies required for the headquarters and out-stations;
and these are the men who are loudest in their cries about
the abandonment of the colony by the mother country.
Rest assured that the cause of the present
risings of the natives is to be found in the
underhand policy of certain speculators at Auck-
land and-Wellington, and not in any inherent hatred
of the natives to the settlers. A strict investigation into
the ultimate destination of the arms and ammunition
which have arrived here during the last three years would
throw a curious light upon the present state of affairs. I
am convinced, and many of the oldest settlers agree with
me, that Lord Granville's `Self-Reliance Despatch,' as it is
called, has done more towards putting down the outbreak
than twelve regiments."

BREECHLOADERS.

The militia are to be armed with breechloaders of
the Snider typo as soon as possible. The volunteers,
too, are to have new weapons, their present arms
being worn out and unserviceable. It does not ap-
pear, however,. that the new supply will be other
than Enfield rifles on the muzzle-loading system.
When are volunteers to have breechloaders? They
have long been "coming," and a military M.P. re-
cently informed a meeting that the happy day was at
hand, but this fresh issue of Enfolds does not look
like it.

TITE TRANSIT OF CATTLE.

We are glad to be able to announce that the
Committee of the Privy Council appointed to take
into consideration the transit of cattle, from and to
foreign counties, and to frame rules to make the
treatment of animals being conveyed from place to
place more humane, has not gone altogether asleep.
The tale recently told by the Times spewing how a
herd of sheep was brought across from R otterdam, had
led us almost to conclude that the Privy Council had
overlooked the duty imposed upon it by the Contagious
Diseases (Animals) Act. From a letter written by
Arthur llelps, Clerk to the Council and chairman of
the cattle committee, we learn that it was thought
'inadvisable to frame rules hastily ; but that circulars
have been issued to railway company directors and to
all persons likely to give information. These circulars
ask what rules are best to ensure a proper treat-
ment of cattle in transit by rail or water; and
how means should be taken to ensure the proper
supply of water and meat to the annuals. It is
suggested that the steamboat companies, who are
the flagrant offenders, should have this application
made to them. They might then (perhaps) emulate
one another in humanity.

SPAIN AND CUBA.

According to American papers the real proposition
made by the American Government to Spain respecting
Cuba contained no guarantee forithe payment of the bonds
in case the, sale was made. The offer was that if Spain
would sell the island to the Cubans, the American
Government would act as a kind of trustee, pledged to
retain the greater part of the revenue from the Customs
as an indirect guarantee for payment. It was this
proposal which Spain rejected ; but it is said that
General Sickles intends to make another. In this
Spain is to grant the Cubans the full rights of
Spanish citizenship, including representation in the
Cortes. A general amnesty is to be immediately
granted, and Spain is to undertake the suppression of
slavery on the island. If these propositions are acccepted
the Americans will endeavour to have peace on the island.
It is believed that Senor Robeits, who relresented the
Government of Isabella at Washington, will:remain as the
representative of the new Government.

CATTLE DISEASE.

The foot and mouth complaint has appeared in
the populous borough of Chelsea. The disease,
according to the medical officer of the neighbour-
hood, has broken out in an aggravated form, many
animals having died. It is much more infectious,
too, than usual. The great difficulty in such a dis-
trict as Chelsea is to secure the removal of diseased
animals, so as to prevent their being sold for food.
This has so far been accomplished, that "not a
pound of diseased meat has been disposed of in the
neighbourhood."
London, England, 1869-09-13

THE LAND QUESTION.

The Earl of Portsmouth, as an Irish landowner,
fully endorses Colonel Greville-Nugent's statement
of the difference between English and Irish tenants
at will. In England the landlord finds buildings ;
in Ireland he finds none. The law in Ireland ought
to accord with the custom, and should allow the
tenant liberty of removal. This would practically
award compensation to the tenant for buildings
erected by him. There can be no doubt that in
many cases Irish owners refuse leases in order to
gain political influence over their tenants. His lord-
ship adds :

Since 1822 the experiment of thirty-one year leases,
with free liberty to sell them, and practically vesting all
buildings in the tenant, has been tried on my estates in
the county of Wexford, with the following results :
Badly cultivated patchesof land, with wretched hovels on
them, have been changed into well-cultivated farms with
first-rate homesteads. The rental has more than doubled,
is punctually paid, instead of irregularly paid. With
such results, are not landlords blind to their own interests
who refuse to their tenants the common justice of leases
with equitable covenants? By what law of right can
buildings which a tenant built and paid for belong to his
landlord?

mr, BYRON SCANDAL.

The Rev. Francis Trench contributes to the Byron
controversy in a letter which is like most of those
coming from parties who ought to be able to throw
some light on the matter. Ile protests against Mrs.
Stow's disclosure of the horrible secret, but he does
not impugn its truth. Mr. Trench is quite sure that
to Lady Noel Byron this publication would have
been most objectionable:—
•

"-It is desirable to obviate the impres.4on that Mrs.
Beecher Stowe was anything like an exclusive or even a
rare depositary of the statement winch she has made, so
as to obtain any title to publication on this account. At
many successive periods Lady /\ oel Byron had frilly
stated the cause of her separation to many. of her relatives
and intimate friends. But in all these instances she knew
whom she could trust • and, so far as I know, not one of
them, much to their honour, judgment, and propriety,
has broken that profound silence and secrecy which, so far
as the public is concerned, should have been continued for
ever."
" THE PRODIGAL SON."

Mature consideration of the merits of Mr. Sulli-
van's cantata " The Prodigal Son " only
strengthens the good opinion which the critics first
expressed. The Times has no hesitation in pro-
nouncing it not merely the best and most carefully
finished work of its composer, but a work that
would do credit to any composer now living. The
music is of sustained excellence throughout, and
some of the selections remarkably fine. Moreover,
the strains are almost always characteristic and ap-
propriate to the beautiful parable which it illus-
trated. " The Prodigal Son " has in it the stuff
which endures.

yHE CHARGE OF OBTAINING £l,OOO BY
FRAUD..

At the Mansion House, on Saturday, the American
who gave the name of W. W. Whelpley, but who also is
known by the alias of NV, A. Armstrong, was brought up
for further examination upon the charge of obtaining the
sum of £l,OOO from Messrs. Simpson, Mason, and Co.,
timber-brokers, of 4, Peter's-alley, Cornhill, by means of
forged bills of lading. Upon the former examination it
was proved that the prisoner had introduced himself to
the prosecutors by means of a forged letter of recommen-
dation from a firm in Canada, with whom they had busi-
ness relations, and that he succeeded in obtaining bank notes
to the amount of £l,OOO, upon the security of three bills of
lading for cargoes of valuable timber which were repre-
sented to be on their way to this country, which bills of
lading turned out to be forged and utterly worthless.
Nearly £5OO in gold was found in the prisoner's possession
when he was taken into custody. Mr. Lewis now stated
that a person who had Leen concerned with the prisoner
was a man named Beach, who had absconded to America,
and, singularly enough, he sailed in the same vessel that
contained Detective Sergeant Spittal, ho held a warrant
for the apprehension of another gentleman who had
atscondcd. A telegram was sent to Spittal, who searched
Beach, but found no money upon him. There
were in his possession, however, two letters
signed by the prisoner, and addressed to creditors
in London who had been on the look-out for him, and
these were to have been posted in New York. Beach had
also a letter of introduction from the prisoner to the
captain of the Scotia. lie had, Mr. Lewis said, received
£lOO as his share of the transaction, but no money was
found upon him. Evidence was then given as to the
bills of lading being forgeries, and the prisoner, who
reserved his defence, was committed for trial.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF INTOXICATION.—EIIis Betts, a
middle-aged man, was charged with assaulting and injur-
ing Mary Ann Fag, of Bulrs-gardens, Chelsea.
Complainant, a respectable-looking woman, with her
face and arms both wounded, said that on Saturday even-
ing between six and seven o'clock she was at home, when
she was attracted by the defendant throwing large
stones at a number of children. Ono of the stones came
into her yard, and she remonstrated with the defendant,
when he made a blow at her with a sharp stone. She put
her arm, which was cut with the stone. He then struck
her another blow with a stone, which out her face. He
was drunk.

Defendant—She came oufand shook and struck me. A
number of boys were throwing half bricks and stones at
me, and I was returning them.

Mr. Selfe—Wby should boys pelt you in the way you
describe?

Defendant—Because I'd beou drinking, I suppose. What
right had she to interfere with me.
Complainant denied defendant's statement.
Mr. Selfe —You wore throwing stones about at the boys,
as you describe, when she interfered to prevent mischief,
when you assaulted her in that violent way. You are
committed for 21 days.

Elihu Burritt, the learned blacksmith, for the
last eight years Consul at Birmingham, according to letters
he has written to the American press, has established in
that city au agency to facilitate the settlement in the
United States of English farmers, mechauics,and labourers
of all occupations, and to assist farmers and farmers' sons
who desire to try their fortunes there to purchase lands
in good situations and on favourable terms. He also pro-
poses to supply all who desire them competent and trust-
worthy English servants, guarantees being given and
received "that confidence may be mutual." Mr. Burritt's
friends state that he has given to his agency a mixture of
that humanity and good-will with which his own life has
been so highly favoured, and that ho will no doubt make
his agency of good service to many on both sides of the
Atlantic.

An International Maritime Exhibition is an-
•nounced to open at Naples on the Ist of April, 1870. A
Maritime Congress will also be hold at the close of the
exhibition. A committee, of which Prince Amadeus,
Duke of Aosta, is appointed president, will sit at Naples
to draw up the programme of the exhibition, and be
charged with all matters relative to its organisation.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that heads
of salad can be produced in winter in from twenty-four to
forty-eight hours, by taking a box filled with rich earth,
in which one-third part of slacked lime has been mixed,
and watering the earth with lukewarm water ; then taking
lettuce seed, which has been previously softened by soak-
ing in strong brandy twenty-four hours, and sowing in

THAMES.

STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Mary Bryse, also called
Byse, aged 22 years, late of No. 9, Thomas-street, West
Ferry-road, Poplar, a married woman, was brought up, on
remand, before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a gold
watch, the property of William Willoughby, of No. 4,
Hornsey-place, in the same locality.
There was an old friendship existing between the wife of
the prosecutor and the prisoner. A few days since the
prisoner visited Mrs. Willoughby, and kept following
her about from place to place, and alsa went in and
out of the kitchen. At that time there was a gold
watch hanging up over the mantel-shelf in the back par-
lour, and at nine o'clock the same night, and some hours
after the prisoner had left the house, the watch was mis-
sing. The prisoner had access to the back parlour, and
could have gone there without being seen by the prose-
cutris, The prisoner was suspected directly the watch
was missed, and the prosecutrix taxed her with the rob-
bery. She admitted she had taken the watch, and
pawned it, but when she was given into the custody
of police James Pater, 41 K, she said I did not have the
watch, I never saw it. I did not know what I was talking
about. 1 said I did take it because Mrs. Willoughby tried
me so hard.

The assistant to Mr. Distin Tuson, pawnbroker in the
Burdett-road, now produced the watch, and said the pri-
soner pawned it on the evening of the day Mrs. Wil-
loughby missed it.
The prisoner, notwithstanding the weight of evidence
against her, said she was quite innocent.

. .
Mr. Benson—Very well, as you will not plead here, and
may you are innocent, I shall commit you for trial.

Bookmakers will have a busy time of it now that
the weights for the Autumn Handicaps have made
their appearance. The acceptances will be published
in The Sun of to-morrow evening. There will be
some good sport at Donca-iter this week. Sunlight
or Sunshine, whichever Mr. Merry selects, will win
the Champagne Stakes. Formosa or (leant des
Batailles will furnish the winner of the Great York-
shire Handicap ; and Frivolity the Filly Stakes.
In the absence of Blue Gown, White Slave or
Hester will take the Clumber Plate ; and my choice
of the lot handicapped for the Doncaster Plate, the
only other race I can meddle with of those set for
the opening► day are Vegpasian, Border Knight,
Cardinal York, Dryad, and Electricity, of whom
I select Vespasian and the representative of Joseph
Dawson—probably Electricity. There are half-a-
dozen items in the second day's list ; but the Muni-
cipal Stakes, which looks a certainty for Normanby,
will hardly produce a struggle. For the St. Leg..r

goes on. Indeed, melting is inevitable so long
as it pays ; and it does pay to pick out the
heaviest sovereigns for export. As a contemporary
points out, when the coin goes abroad it is treated
as bullion, and the heavier the sovereigns colleeteo
the better. The practice of picking and melting
might be prevented by issuing no sovereigns except
of standard weight, but this would add to the
expense of coinage.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

We hope to meet with a speedy contradietior
to an unhappy telegram which appears in ill
American papers. Those journals receive news from
Tahite to the effect that the Duke of Edinburgh was
splendidly received at the French possession—for so
it must be called—but " his uncourteous behaviour
to the French authorities and the officers of the
United States steamer Kearsarge provoked the
indignation of even the English residents." It may
be remembered that the Australians made similar
complaints of the Prince's conduct towards the New
Zealand chiefs.

A CANADIAN STORY.

A curious story is told in the Hamilton Tinto (Ontario).
On the night Preceding Dominion Day, some one climbed
the lofty flagpole erected at Woodstock in honour of the
Prince of Wales's visit, and nailed to it an American flag
bearing the word " Annexation " in black letters. The
Canadians were highly indignant, but no one could
be found to take it down, as the pole was rotten,
It accordingly fluttered there for two months, when one
of the telegraph workmen offered to climb the pole and
fetch it down. He got frightened in the middle of his
task, and abandoned it. Shooting was then resorted to,
and the obnoxious word was at least obliterated. Finally
a youth and etranger in the town ascended to the dan•
serous elevation and brought down the rags of the banner,
The question now being asked is, Who put it up?

THE HISTORY OF A CORRUPT BOROUGH.

---
The Election Commissioners at Beverley had high
hopes raised on Friday, and wore grievously disap-
pointed as to their fulfilment. They had to examine
a witness named Boyes. Mr. Boyes is thought in
the borou3l to be particularly given to bribing ; he
himself ccnfesses that he has been in the secrets of
the Liberal party since 1847. In nearly every contest
he has taken a very active part ; he is a town
councillor, was at one time clerk to the pasture
masters, and has hanging over him a verdict of
bribery obtained by his political opponents at the
York assizes. When he told the commission that he
would reveal all he knew, they began to expect tales of
corruption, of personal undue influence, of so many
bzing bribed at this house and so few at
that. But as the e-amination went on they
discovered that he knew of no such things, that he
could speak only of the amount of money expended,
of the numbers bribed—and these statements were
based on very little better than hearsay ; so that, in
fact, they bad an interesting and lively history of
the borough, but nothing very important to them.
his evidence will be read with more interest perhaps
when it is known that he thinks Beverley, on the
whole, a very pure borough ; there are only about
400 men who do not make uu their minds till the

Polling-day. Towards the -instruction of these
voters, Mr. John Townley spent £6,000 in 1841;
Sir James Weir Hogg and Mr. Fox spent on the
same occasion £7,000 or £B,OOO. In 1847 Mr.
Goldsmith spent a large sum in opposing unsuccess-
fully Townley and Fox. In 1852 there was little
money paid on the Liberal side before the polling
day ; but about noon, it being stated that the
Tories were bribing, and Liberal votes being
scarce, Messrs. Lawley and Wells, the candidates,
began paying from £2 to £3 to some 200 electors. In
1854 there was purity. In 1857 there was another
pure election ; but a second election in the same year
seems to have again given scope for bribery. In
1850 Mr. Walters came to the town with the avowed
purpose of bribing, and bribe there is no doubt he
did. Mr. Boyes refused to answer any questions on
the subject, however, as the verdict suspending
against him had reference to the elections from
1860 to 1868. Mr. Boyes kept quiet from 1800
to 1868. The 1808 election was pure on the Liberal
side.

FAGGOT VOTES.

The Scotch Liberals arc about to try the legality
of manufactured votes under the Reform Act. In
Mid Lothian the balance of parties is very even. At
the last election the Tories were defeated by no great
majority, and in order to make things right ne:t
time a number of proprietorships worth £lO it year
have been created. It is thought doubtful whether
these faggot votes can be sustained, and the Liberals
mean to try the point. If beaten before the tri-
bunal they will appeal to Parliament.
