WORK FOR CONVOCATION.

Convocation, which has hitherto successfully re-
sisted all attempts to bring about intercommunion
between Nonconformists and the English Church, is
to be called upon by the Archdeacon of Nottingham
to appoint a commission for considering the position
of the Abyssinian Church. The archbishops and
bishops have no objection to dining with the minis-
ters of all denominations at Fishmongers' Hall, but
when it comes to spiritual communion they appe,:r to
prefer a semi-civilised Abuna of Abyssinia to Mr.
Binney. It does not appear that the Archdeacon
has any intention of enforcing a reductio ad
absurdum. Another matter which Convocation is to
consider is the exchange of livings.
London, England, 1869-02-15

REBTARKs.

The decrease of pressure at Nairn on Saturday afternoon became
considerable on Sunday. At the same three a considerable rise took
place at Southern stations, and consequently great differences of
pressure were produced. Since yesterday morning however, a rapid
recovery has taken place in the north-east, whilst in the south-west
a slight decrease is noted. The lowest reading is still at Nairn, but
is only 0.39 in. lower than that at Plymouth. Continental messages
of to-day not arrived —11.151t.n1. Temperature, after increasing con•
siderably yesterday, has again decreased at our northern and eastern
stations —9 deg. in places. Elsewhere there is no particular change.
A stiff westerly gale blew on Saturday night on our N. and E, coasts,
accompanied by strong S.W. to N.W. breezes at our other stations)
and fresh winds from the same quarter prevailed through Sunday
This morning light south-westerly breezes are general in these islands,
and in the Channel it is nearly cairn. Rain has fallen in the N. ant
W. The sky is overcast with mist and fog in the east.

MIL DISRAELI AND THE BISHOP OF CAPETOWN.

The John Bull pLeMishes an extract from a letter
written by the Bishop of Capetown to the Archdeacon
of Natal, in which the. bishop describes his interview
with the then Premier. He says : " I sought an
interview with Mr. Disraeli, though only on the day
before I left London, and formally complained to
him of the conduct of the Duke of Buckingham.
Nothing could be more frank or courteous than the
way in which he received my complaint, regretting
only that I had not appealed to him sooner. He said
that the matter was not before the Cabinet; that he
would make no secret of his general sympathy with
me and my proceedings; that it would be impossible,
at that late moment, to do anything before I left,
but that in a day or two an answer should be sent to
any one whom I could name to act for me.'

THE QUEEN.

The reports respecting the Queen are very various.
While a London weekly Conservative paper declares
that the real reason why her Majesty will not break
her retirement is that she will not herself utter the
words which the Ministers will probably put in her
mouth respecting the Irish Church, a provincial
Conservative weekly paper assigns the absence of
her Majesty from the opening of Parliament to ill-
healtht and gives a very alarming account of the
sovereign. According to this paper, "it is a well-
known fact in medical circles that the Queen will
never more make any public appearance which
demands her opening her mouth, and she is enjoined
to great quietude on all occasions. Heart disease has
manifested itself in growing strength in the Queen,
the form being, so far as medical science can discover,
that of fatty degeneration, and this accounts
for the frequent fits of languidness and the tendency
to occasional faintness. The first occasion that gave
rise to any alarm was when her Majesty received
information of the attack on the life of the Duke of
Edinburgh, and the alarming symptoms wliich then
manifested themselves have opened the eyes of the
medical men to the character of the disease." The
London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
says that even now it is under deliberation if the
Queen will not attend in morning dress, without
reading the speech. The Echo denies the statement
that political reasons have anything to do with the
Queen's absence, and affirms that the state of her
health is the sole cause. Quot hoinines, tot sententice.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the bead, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes 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.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

METRO ?OLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts is larger than on Monday last, yet
it is small, and choice qualities are quickly disposed of at
advanced rates. A clearance is readily effected. The
number of sheep is unusually small. The demand is very
good, and prices have advanced considerably.

The ordinary meeting of the proprietors of the
Charing-cross Hotel was held to-day. The directors' re-
port, which recommended a dividend at the rate of 12 per
cent., was carried unanimously.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL.

What has become of the Marquis of llartington ?
Ile was not at the last Cabinet Council, being the
only member absent, and he has not issued any
address to the electors of the Radnor boroughs. The
eldest son of the Cavendishes is generally supposed to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-17as Day.

MM.:LW/RW.7611-S TREET.
DISAIDERLY CONDUCT. —John lienryJanieS, a carpenter
was charged before Mr. Tyrwbitt with being drunk and
disorderly at the Portland road Station of the Metropoli-
tan Railway.

Mr. Flanders, a ticket collector at the Portland-road
station, of tho Metropolitan Railway, said that between
9 and 10 on Saturday_ovening the prisoner presented him.-
self at the station with a return ticket from Latimer-road.
He was too drunk to be allowed to go by the train, and
being told so he set to abusing him and the passengers,
and prevented the passengers going down stairs, and
others getting their tickets, and for two hours was in and
out of the station, and at last they had to remove him.
Shortly after the prisoner came back again and abused
Mr. Fenton, the General Manager, who ordered him to
be removed, and a constable to be sent for. While the
messenger was gone for the constable the prisoner used
the vilest language, and obstructed him in the performance
of his duty.
Police-constable Barber, 43 E, said that he was called
to take the prisoner into custody, and found him on the
platform very drunk, and he had a groat deal of trouble
to get him to the station, and had to hold him to prevent
him failing on the rails.
The prisoner said ho tendered his ticket and was told
that he could not go, but as ho had had it supplied he
thought he bad a right to go by it, and was afterwards
locked up. He had had a little too much to drink.

Mr. Tyrwhit said the prisoner's conduct was that of a
drunken, pig-headed fellow, doing great mischief at the
station, and having his life saved against his own stupid
will. The prisoner would have to pay 20s. or seven days.

AN ALARMING

The Daily .217ews announces a terrible piece of news
for the benefit of English ladies. Continental saioni
and ball-rooms are rapidly being closed against them,
not on account of diplomatic difficulties or political
entanglements. English ladies dress so shabbily
English people are no longer to be invited to
continental receptions. This startling piece of intelli-
gence comes somewhat strangely at a time when the
extravagance of our ladies in taste and toilette is a
constant theme of discourse. English tourists, how-
ever, are perhaps too much in the habit of thinking
that anything will do for abroad, and having worn
their clothes out in the London season, they
think they can wear them again when
they cross the Channel, as if they were
fresh from the milliner's. But a great deal may be
said on the other side. The Russian and American
circles, who are the chief malcontents, emulate the
barbarian in his love of paint and feathers.
With them a staircase is not a staircase unless it be
co-: erect with velvet pile inches deep ; wine is not
IVIII3 unless pearls melted in it would scarcely
make it more precious ; suppers are not suppers
if they do not Atstr:p the boasted banquets of
Lucullus. it is easy to be shabby amidst more than
Oriental magnificence, and to spoil a room where no
expense is spared. The Daily News is apprehensive
that our ladies will be enticed too far on the
dangerous path, and remembering that a Parisian
bride's pocket-handkerchiefs the other day cost
£l,OOO, we must admit that the prospect of compe-
tition is somewhat alarming.

EARLY TRAINING AND OVERWORKING OF RACE-
HORSES.

There has been a great cry about the deterioration
of our racers. Nearly all writers on the subject have
attributed this deterioration to the overworking of
the young horses. The " two-year-olds," it was said,
were worn out in a few months by the extraordinary
amount of running and training which they had to

TRADE REPORTS.

Our exports to Belgium shew7an increase under some
heads. Common earthenware has nearly doubled. Flax
has rised from 240,416 kilos. in 1867 to 380,881 in 1868,
and hops have increased in the same period from 79,08 E
to 128,649 kilos. The iron trade shews some remarkable
variations, as there is a great increase in our export of
rail and sheet-iron, while there is a marked decrease in
pig-iron and wire. In wrought-steel and cast-iron the
same thing is noticeable. Raw cotton shews no great
change, while rags have risen from 169,026 kilos in 1867
to 465,666 in 1868. Oilseeds have decreased 2,000,000 kilos.
Manufactured cotton shews a diminished export ; while
linen has increased. In connection with the difference in
our iron exports, we may notice that the imports of wire
iron from Belgium to the United Kingdom has more than
doubled in the year ; while in the wrought-iron the import
has greatly diminished. The rags imported are much the
same as in the two years ; while the cotton tissues and
cotton yarns have greatly diminished. The woollen yarn?
have risen from 795,113 kilos. in '67 to 1,615,678 in '6B,
The chief items of increase in our exports to Holland have
been grease, steel in bars, and mineral oil ; in our imports,
dressed flax, potato flour, steel in bars, unwrought
lead, and bleached cotton. The coals exported to France
shew a decrease in value of more than £120,090
while coffee has increased £200,000. The amount of cottor
of all kinds exported is less, while machinery has on the
whole decreased. Steel in bars has increased, while cast.
iron is little snore than half the amount of last year.
Copper ore has increased in value more than a millior
francs, while our exports of silk into France also shew s
marked increase. Looking at our imports from France,
we find a marked diminution in the number of oxen, cows,
sheep, and pigs; under wheat we find a decrease of nearly
£120,000, and under maize of more than £200,000. Coming
to paper we find little difference in the returns, while rags
have increased somewhat. Spirits remain almost
stationary, while silks manifest an increase amounting on
plain silks to £520,000. Ribbons shew a similar increase.
Our imports of wine from France shew an increase of the
value of more than £480,000 in casks, and in bottles of
£120,P00. A noticeable increase is also visible in the
imports of French flax and hemp yarn, which bave risen

SICK BISHOPS.

In addition to the three bishops mentioned on a
former occasion, who, we said, were hopelessly dis-
abled—the Bishops of Exeter and Bath and Wells
from infirmity, and the Bishop of Winchester from
paralysis—we regret to have to place the Bishop of
Salisbury in the same list. It has been stated
within the last day or two that Dr. Hamilton is some-
what better, but later accounts say that there is little
chance of the bishop ever again resuming his
episcopal duties. The Bishop of Carlisle is also
among the disabled, and has had to follow his brother
of Salisbury's example by coming to London for
medical advice. Dr. Waldegrave is comparatively a
young man, being but 5 years old. The Bishop of
Rochester is still suffering from bronchitis; the
Bishop of Chichester is considerably over 80.
