LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUS7 21, 1869

It is satisfactory, of course, to know that the
SULTAN and the VICEROY have made it up. The
misunderstanding has been of long continuance. It
has been growing, moreover, and accumulating.
To a certain extent—on one side, at least, that is
on the side of the aggrieved—it has been rankling.
There has been a suspicion for the last year or two
in the secret councils of the Ottoman Govern-
ment that all was not as it should be in regard to
the Egyptian Pacha's allegiance to his Suzeraine, the
SULTAN CALIPH ABDUL-AZIZ. Raised though he
was shown to be, far above all the other Pachas
of the Turkish Empire, 'slum. PACLIA, the Viceroy
or Khedive of Egypt was, after all, simply a vassal
of his Imperial Master, the Mahometan Chief, or
Grand Turk enthroned at Constantinople. Aspiring,
the Viceroy was known to be. Enterprising, ambi-
tious, his whole reign has proved him to be—and
not merely enterprising and ambitious, but clear
sighted, quick witted, bold, and enlightened.
The accomplishment by him of a radical change in
the succession was indicative of the daring aspira-
tions in which the Viceroy was indulging. That
change was so radical in its character that the Sultan
himself has not yet adventured upon anything of the
kind in his own instance. It is this—that the vice-
regal throne will be filled on the death of its present
occupant, not as heretofore by the eldest surviving
member of the family in the direct male line, but by
the eldest son of ISRAEL PACIIA—the sceptre, or rod
of governance, no longer passing, as hereto-
fore, to uncle, or cousin, or nephew, or
brother. So extraordinary a change, we re-
peat, has not been adventured upon by the
SULTAN himself. His vassal, the VICEROY, has,
however, succeeded in accomplishing it. And
having thus secured to his son and heir a direct suc-
cession to the rule of Egypt, ISRAEL PACIIA has more
recently made the tour of the Courts of Europe, re-
ceiving an almost royal welcome from each of the
reigning Monarchs he has visited, and giving invita-
tions in return, on his own authority, to one after
another of the great European Sovereigns. Naturally,
under the circumstances, proceedings of this kind
were resented by the ruler of the great Empire,
of which—extending, as it does, far into Asia and into
Europe—Egypt is but one of the chief provinces.
So resenting those unprecedented and unallowable
azts on the part of the VICEROY, the SULTAN, by the
hand of his Vizier, addressed to his vassal, ISRAEL,
a letter of remonstrance. Couched though that
letter was in terms of courtesy, it breathed
throughout the sharpest reproof neverthe-
less. It demanded an explanation. It re-
quired from the VICEROY a new attestation of
his allegiance. There was no chance for ISRAEL
PAIICA of anything like an evasion. The accusations
must be met and answered categorically. And thus
answered they have been, we may now rest assured,
what though the VICEROY'S letter has not yet come
to the knowlelge of the public—for the announce-
ment is sufficiently significant that the reply has
proved satisfactory to the. Ottoman Government. The
reproof administered was so sharp that it must have
been accepted with a certain degree of meekness, to
have rendered the repl to itthusinstantlysitisfactory.
The VICEROY is wise in his generation. By acting
otherwise than he has done—in other words, by re-
fusing (as he might have been tempted to do hal he
followed the dictates of his own pride, or of his own
selfish ambition) tl yield submission to his liege lord
:knd suzerains --ISRAEL PACIIat would, in all human
probability, have plunged not only Turkey and
Egypt into war, but would also have thrown two or
three of the leading powers of Europe, now at peace
with each other, into open and disastrous collision.
So insensate a course would, among other things,
have retarded for many years to come the
advance of Egyptian civilisation. Instead of de-
ciding thus rashly and unjustifiably, the Viceroy has
shown that ho possesses a wise self-command and
an honourable discretion. The incident is auspi-
cious, as yielding the happiest auguries for the
development of the resources of Egypt, through the
medium of the Suez Canal inauguration.

The Duke of ST. ALBANS has just taken a step
which will doubtless prove of the greatest importance
to the English Church. Having to present a clergy-
man to the living of Redbourne, he wrote to the
parishioners that ho wished to consult them as to
the nomination, for he felt sure that " if the laity
had more voice in the selection of their
ministers it would immensely strengthen the
hands and materially increase the usefulness of the
clergy of the Church of England." This is a grave
innovation. Is it likely to prove a beneficial one ?
That question can be answered best by ascertaining
what is the present system of presentation. It is
simple enough. It can scarcely be considered equally
satisfactory. The right of presentation rests with a
private patron, with a corporate body such as a
college or a cathedral chapter, with the bishop, or
with the Crown. In the last case the appointment is
made generally on the ground of political claims.
The man who can bring most influence to
bear upon the Prime Minister is selected ; although
very recently some improvement has been made,
and the dispensers of Crown patronage have taken
some trouble to ascertain the fitness of the person
nominated. An improvement has taken place also
in episcopal patronage, yet it is still very far from
what it should be. Bishops appointed within
the last few years seem to recognise the duty of con-
sidering fitness rather than kinsmanship. But there
are dioceses in which all the best preferments are
held by the near relatives or the personal friends of
the Bishop. The same thing may be said of
capitular patronage; while as for the colleges, they
professedly and as a matter of course reserve their
livings for their own Fellows, however little adapted
these may be to carry on parochial work. But it is
when we come to private patronage that we find the
greatest abuses. Here and there we see a HEATH-
COTE presenting a KEDLE j yet, as a rule, Church
patronage is considered, not as a public
trust, but as private property. Hence, we are
exposed to the scandals of auctions, in which the
cure of souls is offered to the highest bidder, while
the auctioneer uses his eloquence in pointing out the
fewness of the souls to be cured, the number of good
families in the parish, the nearness to a railway
station, and the privilege of hunting with the Blank-
shire hounds. Hence we see the scandal of a
septuagenarian, past work, put into a family living to
hold it until such time as some boy, now in the nursery,
is able to take possession. In no one instance are
the parishioners consulted. Possibly the Premier
might, if there were no special political claim upon
him, pay some regard to the memorial of the
parishioners, and present the curate who had been
working for a dozen years on ',lOO a year and won
the hearts of the people by his devotion and
goodness. Possibly, too, our more recently appointed
bishops would respect the prayer of a parish. But
as for the others—the corporate bodies, capitular and
collegiate, and the private patrons—they would resent

with indignation any attempt to prevent them from •
doing what they pleased with their own.
There is no doubt that to this cause—this disre-
gard of the wishes of the laity—more than to any
other, the rise of Dissent is due. It has estranged
men from the Church more than any single doc-
trine or all the doctrines put together. Con-
verse with Wesleyans, between whom and
Churchmen the gulf is so narrow and apparently
so easily passed, and they will say that it
is absolutely impossible for them to rejoin
the Church so long as the laity are excluded from all
share in the selection of their spiritual teachers. An
alteration in the present system is inevitable if the
Church is ever to become again the Church of the
whole nation. The last Reform Bill has given an
impetus to the democratic principle, which is by no
means confined to political matters. The people are
now entrusted with the power to select their own
legislators. It is only the natural and
necessary result of this change that they
should demand the power to select their own
pastors. It may not perhaps be wise to entrust
them with the sole power, but it will be impossible
much longer to ignore their wishes altogether. It
may not be desirable to expose clergymen to the
ordeal of " preaching on trial," or to the danger of a
notice to quit if their sermons cease to be "accept-
able." But it is necessary that the laity should
not have thrust upon them a lad, a dotard,
a wordling, or a heretic. It is unfair to impose upon
parishioners accustomed and attached to the simple
rites of a generation passing away a priest whose
conscience is so sensitive that it will not permit him
to celebrate without orphreys. It is equally unfair
to deprive a congregation, accustomed to frequent and
ornate services, of the worship which they love, and
without which they are unsatisfied. This right of
the laity to be consulted in the appointment of the
clergy is a matter in which all parties should join,
because in it all are interested. At present
the High Churchman has no protection against
a ritual which he thinks irreverent, the Low
Churchman against ritual which he thinks super-
stitious, the Broad Churchman against a theology
which he thinks absurd. High, Low, and Broad
should make common cause to obtain a right of
which they ought never to have been deprived. It
will not be obtained all at once, for there are many
practical difficulties in the way of concession. But
it will be obtained eventually, if there be perseverance
and unity.

IN these days of ducal bankrupts and most noble
plungers, it is pleasant to see youthful peers attaining
to man's estate without having to sell their coronets
or to flee their native land. A few months ago the
Marquis of BUTE came of age, and Scotland and
Wales united in celebrating the event. Recently the
representative of one of the most ancient
houses in England, he who has in his veins
" the blood of all tke HOWARDS," com-
memorated a similar happy occurrence ; and
on Thursday night the principal inhabitants of Shef-
field gave a return dinner to their neighbour, the
young Duke of NORFOLK. The DUKE, like the
MARQUIS, is a Roman Catholic ; though while the
second is a recent convert, the first belongs to a
family whose head has always, with one exception,
adhered to the Papal Communion. But difference
of creed has, happily, ceased to be any reason for
estrangement. Forty years ago both DUKE and
MARQUIS would have been'exposed to various disabili-
ties because of their conscientious convictions. Faith is
free now, and the varieties of faith are not taken
into account on days of festival or on days of mourn-
ing. At the Sheffield banquet there was nothing to
show that the chief guest of the day was not the
most thoroughgoing of Protestants. Probably no
thought of the DUKE'S religion entered into the
minds of his entertainers. Their chief thought, their
subject of greatest congratulation, was, as the
MAYOR, who proposed his health, remarked, the
certainty that his GRACE " will not follow the bad
example set by the racing world." -Mr. ROEBUCK
enlarged upon this theme. Apparently to' his own
surprise, he found himself—" a thoroughgoing
Radical" though he still declares himself to be—
praising up the peerage and proposing the health of
the House of IlowAno. Nor do we see any reason
why thoroughgoing Radicals should not propose
such a toast. There was, in fact, no cause for any
apology or explanation on the part of the ex-Member
for Sheffield. When in the old bad days of Austrian
despotism he lauded the Austrian EMPEROR
men were puzzled, and could not help asking if Mr.
ROEBUCK had not learnt to look at Austrian politics
through the distorting lens of a concession. But no
such suspicion is suggested by Thursday night's
courtesies. A " thoroughgoing Radical " may
desire important constitutional changes, may wish
to reform the House of Lords, or even to abolish it
as a separate legislative assembly. But that is no
reason why he should not wish the members
of that House to be virtuous, honour-
able, and honoured. Perhaps in some quarters
the wish does exist to see the Peerage damage
itself by unwise or disgraceful conduct. If so,
there must be in such quarters a lamentable want
of patriotism. No Commonwealth can see any order
of men among it discredited in the public estimation
without sustaining injury. A. nation is one body,
and if one member of it suffers, the rest will suffer.
No one, therefore, should think Mr. ROEBUCK
guilty of inconsistency when he speaks of the great
memories connected with the House of HOWARD,
or when he counsels the present head of that house
to take no narrow view of life, to remember the
good that he may do with his great wealth, to think
of the light of knowledge which he may shed on
places where the darkness of ignorance still prevails,
to resist the temptations that always beset the path
of one possessed of such great riches and influence.
We may add, if the temptations are great so are
the safeguards. The HowanDs have been a
famous and honoured family, and the preservation
of their good name ought to act as a talisman against
the seductions of the base and the wicked. It is a
true saying, "Noblesse oblige," and if the Duke of
NORFOLK will remember it, there is no fear but that
he will during the years which are before him
confirm the reputation and support the honour of a
family which has been among us for more than seven
hundred years.

INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, This day.
The Oxford crew went out at half-past 11 this
morning, so as to be entirely clear of a swimming
race and the Thames National Regatta, both of
which were over parts of the course. The
Oxonianis were accompanied by their steamer, and
proceeded to Hammersmith at a very fine pace,
doing thirty-eight and thirty-nine strokes per
minute, very
were scarcely out of sight when the Americans
well pulled through the water. They
started, and, after an interval of ten minutes, the
Americans went down to the aqueduct and turned
up to proceed over the course. They rowed in
their new boat by Jewitt, the coxswain's thwart,
one which has been lowered, and increases her
steadiness by being four inches nearer the floor.
They got away very briskly. It is a great
question whether they will not take the
lead on the race, which good judges are disposed
to back. They pulled nearly 40 strokes per minute,
with marked improvement throughout. The boat,
seems to get more lively as they get used to her.
Their rowing was very satisfactory to their friends,
was longer, with an earlier grip of the water, and
s not so deep.

The late Mr. William IVinthrop, United States
Consul in Malta, devoted much of his leisure to literary
pursuits. Ile was interred in the Protestant cemetery of
"9'a Braxia," his funeral being largely attended by the
principal officials of the island. His widow is the daugh-
ter of the late Sir William Curtis, Bart., and granddaughter
of the baronet of the same name, once Lord ltdayor of

THE BRITISH ASSOCIA TION.

EXETER, FRIDAY.
After having sojourned in the city something like four
slays, the members of the Association have to a certain
extent ceased to be "as a wonder unto many." They
still, however, excite quite as much curiosity as is desi-
rable, and their movements, whether they be on " business
or on pleasure bent," are still invested with an interest
almost fraternal. It must in all candour be said of the
inhabitants that they are kind and thoughtful in the
extreme, and if the latter half of their stay be anything
like the first, the savans will go away wondering, not that
Exeter was selected as the place of meeting this year, but
that it was never selected before.

The great event of yesterday was the Mayor's recep-
tion in the General Albert Memorial Museum. To see the
visitors proceeding thither, some on foot, and more in
carriages and cabs, and all in full dress, constituted quite
au unusual treat for the populace who lined the pavement
on both sides of the road from the principal street of the
city right up to the doors of the hall. The whole suite of
rooms in the museum was thrown open for the occasion, and
for a couple of hours after eight o'clock a constant
stream of guests passed through various apartments,
stopping only now and then for a few moments' rest or to
partake of the refreshments which were provided in pro-
fusion. To add to the enjoyment of the evening, a band
of music was stationed in one of the ante-rooms ; and,
indeed, everything was done to afford gratification to
those who were wearied, or supposed to be
wearied, with the exertions they had made
in the acquisition or the promulgation of scientific truth
during the day. The most august visitors were met at the
door of the room devoted to the purposes of reception by
the Mayor, who was arrayed in his scarlet robe of office,
and attended by the corporation officials. The soiree was
in no way behind those given by the civic authorities in
other towns which the Association has lately visited.
The sections throughout the day have had their usual
quantum of visitors, who, having amused themselves in
the best way they can—and here, where there are so
many ways of doing it, it is difficult to say which is the
best—since three o'clock, will assemble again in the
Visitors' Hall at half-past eight to listen to Professor
Phillips holding forth upon Vesuvius.
The sections presenting the greatest attractions to-day
were those devoted to mechanical science, geography,
and biology. In the first-named, which was attended
by Lord Stanley, it was stated that an applica-
tion bad been made to the Government by the
committee of the Mechanical Section for the sum
of .£5,000, for the purpose of trying experi-
ments relative to the laws which govern the flow and
action of water containing solid matter in suspension. It
WAS with regret that the committee had since been
informed that the Government had refused the appli-
cation.

Mr. Bateman, engineer, gave an interesting description
of a cast-iron tube which he suggested should be laid
down for railway purposes between England and
France. lie stated that it was the joint design
of himself and Monsieur Ilevy, an engineer of
Vienna. The tube would be commenced on one side of
the Channel, and would be laid at the bottom of the sea,
being built up inside a horizontal cylinder or bell, which
wou'd be constantly pushed forward as the building up
of the tube proceeded. The line selected for
the tube to be thus submerged would be
close to Dover on the English side of the
Channel, and would extend to Cape Grisnez on the French
coast, the distance between the two points being twenty-
two miles, and the average depth of water 110 feet. Mr.
Bateman stated that the tube would be made large
enough for the passage of carriages of ordinary con-
struction, whilst the traffic was proposed to be
worked by pneumatic pressure, thus securing
a constant supply of pure air, and at the same
time precluding the possibility of a collision. He estimated
that a slow train would be able to accomplish the
distance in one hour and six minutes, but an
express would go through with ease in forty-five
minutes. Five thousand passengers and 10,000
tons of goods could be conveyed through the tube daily.
The estimated cost of the whole project was eight millions
sterling, the annual working expenses being put down at
8150,000.
In the Geographical Section Sir Bartle Frere interested
the audience by detailing some particulars concerning a
region called the Runn of Cutch, which is situated in the
Valley of the Indus. It was one hundred miles long,
and forty miles wide, and was surrounded by
enormous sand heaps, which were formed not
by winds, but by earthquakes. Sir Bartle stated that the
Runn of Cntch consisted simply of a level plain, having
a surface so hard that no impression could be made upon
it by horses' hoofs. It was entirely without landmarks,
and even by day it was usually covered with a mirage.
