Ho (tile Chairman) did not thick it improvident to build
churches and to cast the burden on posterity, for those
that came after them shared the advantages of the labours
of those who had gone before. (Hear, Tho new
church bad been built with prudence—it had been well done;
and hero he was called upon to pay a tribute of admira-
tion to the architect, who, in the present instance, had out-
done himself, notwithstanding his splendid works in other
parts of the country, and with which many of there were
acquainted. The building was noble, simdle, vigorous,
bold, and beautiful ; it was well adapted to the purposes
for which it was intended, and no money had been frittered
away in needless ornamentation ; and he again urged them
to do all that was in their power to assist in the liquida-
tion of the responsibility which still remained. Twoyears
ago it was not known where the means were to come
from to build the church; but they had cotue, and tho
means of building- others would come. lie (the Chairman)
felt quite sure that those who could give would give, and
those who could not would gather. (Hear, hear.) He
would, therefore, give them the health of him to whos3
energy and untiring ardour they owed the new church at
Kensington. (Loud cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. FOLEY returned thanks for the praises
and c mipliments lavished upon hint. He•lead encoun-
tered difficulties and trials, but happily strength had boon
given him to surmount the obstacles, and the great desire
of his heart had been accomplished. (Cheers.)
The company then separated.

TuF, DE:IE:,FORD3.

The Daqy 11 ew4 has some sarcastic remarks upon
the Beresfords and their connection with the Irish
Church. Our contemporary intimates that this family
lrs fattened upon. the Church for generations, and
that therefore it is a fortunate thing the Irish Archi-
episcopate is represented this year by the Archbishop
of Dublin instead of by the Archbishop of Armagh.
This is scarcely fair. Unquestionably episcopal
Biresfords have died enormously rich, but then their
riches were not derived, solely nor chiefly, from the
Church. The late Archbishop of Armagh, like the
present, a Beresford, left an enormous fortune, but
he gave back to the Church a very large proportion
of the income which he derived from it. Few men
were more charitable than he.

THE ERIE RIILWAT SWINDLE.

A disgraceful proceeding has been consummated in
New York State. Everybody has heard of the " Erie
Railway war"—of the proceedings by which three directors
obtained despotic control over the Erie Railway Company
and its capital of fjfteen or twenty millions sterling. of
which a large proportion is held in Europe. How they ille-
gally issued an enormous number of shares, how the whole of
this large capital was applied at pleasure by these three
men to their own purposes, how the shares went up and
down in the market in a manner which has no parallel,
has been already described. '[he " Erie Railway war "
attained the distinction of being the greatest swindle of
an age in which commercial swindles are of more than
ordinary magnitude. The respectable shareholders long
ago felt that the only means of swing their property was
to take it ont of the hands of these three directors,
and this they have endeavoure.l to do. And yet the State
Legislature of New York, with the consent of the
Governor, has just passed an Act virtually prolonging
the sway of the triumvirate for five years ! The scandal
is one of exceptional enormity. But what can be expected
from a State in which judges are known to take bribes,
and the local Legislature of which is composed of represen-
tatives from the lowest dregs of the community? But a few
days ago a man applied at the Albany Police-court for ad-
mission to the Penitentiary. He had been a member of
the State Assembly in 1867 ; but drink bad brought him
to destitution, and preservation from drink was, he said,
his only hope.

THE NEGRO IN VIRGINIA.

It seems highly probable that the African race will
speedily be thrust out of Virginia southwards to a
warmer clime. Of late a large body of immigrants
from the North have settled in the "Old Dominion,"
the number of these is increasing, and the free black will
have the utmost difficulty in contending with his hardy
and energetic rivals. The fine soil of Virginia affords
every encouragement to the settler, and accordingly the
cry is " Still they come." The price of land in the old
State fell after the war to one-fourth its former price. It
has now risen to one-half, and is still going up. Thanks
to this immigration, the civil war will soon be almost
forgotten in Virginia at least.

THE AUSTRIAN NAVY.

Austria is pushing forward her maritime armament
as rapidly as Prussia. Two more ironclads have been
ordered at Trieste, and the construction of these vessels,
which are to be very strong, will be commenced immedi-
ately. With these Austria will have not fewer than ten
ironclads. The two great German States are racing for
precedence as naval Powers. Both promise to outrun
Russia.
CONVERSION OF PROTESTANTS IN HUNGARY.

The Tablet announces a great conversion to Homan
Catholicism at a Hungarian town named Pap Tames.
All the inhabitants of this place, with the exception of
twelve or sixteen families, have abjured Protestantism.
Seven persons only partook of the Protestant communion
on Whit-Monday last, and the mass of the population
held a meeting, after which they betook themselves to the
Catholic parish priest of Bibar, and declared their inten•
tion of embracing the Catholic faith.

MGR TREASON IN PRUSSIA.

Some months ago Count Bismarck demanded the trial
of Dr. Ottolater, of the Dresden International Bulletin,
on a charge of high treason. Ills offence lay in vigorous!),
employing his newspaper in advocating the independent
autonomy of Saxony, now included in the North German
Confederation and semi•annexed to Prussia. The Saxon
Government long resisted this request; but at length it
yielded to the autocratic Bismarck, and the trial has
just taken place at Dresden. The result must be highly
unsatisfactory for the Count. The Saxon jury unanimously
acqnitted the doctor. The court resounded with applause,
and the prisoner was released amid loud cries in favour of
Saxon autonomy.

CAPITAL PUNISIIIkIENT.

The Attorney-General of Rhode Island has recently
been asked—at the instance of Mr. Gilpin, M.P.—
what was his .experience of the abolition of capital
punishment -in the State. Ile replied : "Firstly,
there have been nine conviction's for murder within
the List ten ye,q.s. Secondly, the abolition of the
death penalty has not perceptibly increased the
number of homicides. Thirdly, the prevailing
public opinion in this State is in favour of the
present system. Fourthly, under this system con-
victions are more e:sily obtained, and the certainty
of punishment operates more cifeetuAly in checning
criLn e."

PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. 13. L. 1110 SE LY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of psinless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is r, commended by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely bo obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and
youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation

A tremendous majority against the Government in
the House of Lords last evening marked the acupt-
ance of Lord SALISELT.I'S Amen.:ll-neut. Against that
amendment were sixty-nine. For it, were 213. So
that tie clear majority was. 141 is favour of the
omission (from clause 27 of the Irish Church Bill) of
the words, requiring that, in consilcration of hand-
ing over the glebe houses to the Church Body, the
Commissioners should be paid either ten times the
annual value of the sites estimated as land, or, in the
alternative, either any building charges on the glebe
bouees, or ten years' annual value of them. As ori-
ginally arranged, according to the actual wording
and significance of the particular clause or portion
of the clause he was objecting to, the

A small quarrel has taken place between General Prim
ard some of his brother Ministers at Madrid. From the
imperfect accounts yet to hand it appears that Prim con-
tradicted Figuerola, the Finance Minister, on some point
of no great importance, and the latter, with some of his
colleagues, resigned. Subsequently the amen* Ton .1).o I,:e
was made and tbe resignations withdrawn. General Prim
ackr.owledged himself in the wrong. Further details of
this incident seem to be required.

THE ERIE RAILWAY SWINDLE.

A distraceful proceeding has been consummated in
New York State. Everybody has heard of the " Erie
Railway war"—of the proceedings by which three directors
obtained despotic control over the Erie Railway Company
and its capital of fifteen or twenty millions sterling, of
which a large proportion is held in Europe. How they ille-
gally issued an enormous number of shares, bow the whole of
this large capital was applied at pleasure by these three
men to their own purposes, how the shares went up and
down in the market in a manner which has no parallel,
has been already described. The " Erie Railway war"
attained the distinction of being the greatest swindle of
an age in which commercial swindles are of more than
ordinary magnitude. The respectable shareholders long
ago felt that the only means of saving their property was
to take it out of the hands of these three directors,
n 1 pia v Irpa than_ And yet the State
Legislature of New York, with the consent or tne
Governor, has just passed an Act virtually prolonging
the sway of the triumvirate for five years ! The scandal
is one of exceptional enormity. But what can beexpected
from a State in which judges are known to take bribes,
and the local Legislature of which is composed of represen.
tatives from the lowest dregs of the community? But a few
days ago a man applied at the Albany Police•court for ad-
mission to the Penitentiary. He had been a member of
the State Assembly in 1867 ; but drink had brought him
to destitution, and preservation from drink was, he said,
his only hope.

RESCUED BOYS.

On Thursday the visitors to the Chicheser training
ship at Greenhithe were present at a very interest-
ing spectacle. It will be remembered that the
Chichester was first used as a training ship in con-
nection with the Refuge for Homeless Boys about
two years ago. The boys are taken from
the " gutter. children" of London to the _Refuge,
and allowed to volunteer for the ship, where
they are boarded, clothed, educated, and trained for
I:1.5 a year each. The annual gathering of the friends
of this excellent charity took place on Thursday, when
prizes were distributed among the lads. Since the
vessel has been in working order no fewer than
400 boys have been received on board. Of these
120 have been placed in merchant ships and
5 in the Royal Navy, while others have
obtained situations on shore. Of the whole 400
only 20 have failed in their new profession, 13 having
been returned to the Refuge as unfit for a sea life,
while 13 others left, not liking the restraint. The
eagerness with which the boys generally take to their
new life is very remarkable, and their practical success
in it is testified by the captains who have employed
them. Those who looked on the clean and cheerful
lads who on Thursday manned the yards of the
Chichester, and remember the vice and degradation
which surround the city Arab, might well rejoice
that practical philanthopy had found the means of
effecting so marvellous a transformation.
