DR. TEMPLE.
-4,-

A communication has been made to us (Exeter and Ply-
mouth Gazette) on what we believe to be thoroughly reliable
authority, which we publish with great pleasure, because it
will no doubt tend to remove apprehensions that have been
excited by the appointment of Dr. Temple to the See of
Exeter. Our correspondent is not unwilling to be held per-
orally responsible for the statement which he authorises us
to make, but we do not think it is desirable to publish his
name. He declares from personal knowledge that when the
"Essays and &views" were first iseu: d Dr. Temple assem-
bled the Masters of Rugby and told them that he had been
to some extent drawn unawares into complication of the
other six essays of that book ; that he was shocked when the
work calm out, to find h:s essay associated with such
writings rs those of the ether essayists and reviewers; and
that h f it le?. had committed the greatest mistake of Lis
life w 11,41 I e allow. d Lis essay on "The Education of the
Word" .o a_ pear in that work.

THE S( LICITOR-GENERAL IN THE WEST.

On Tuesday evening the Solicitor-General presided at
the annual meeting of the Newton Agricultural Associa-
tion. South Devon. The Right Hon. Earl Devon was also
present. In proposing " The bishop and clergy of
the diocese and ministers of all other denomi-
nations," Sir John Coleridge said he trusted the
Church of England would long continue. He hoped
that those who, not very wisely,were sometimes clamouring
for disestablishment would reflect that they themselves
owed not a little of their own position to that wise tolera-
tion which the strong arm of the State enforced. For
his own part he rejoiced that within the National
Church, room was found for Bishop Phillpotts and
Bishop Temple. He was no particular admirer
of the character, and no particular sympathiser with the
political and ecclesiastical opinions, of the late Bishop of
Exeter. But he thought every man would admit that he
was a great and famous prelate; that he made the name
of the Bishop of Exeter the name of the most famous
ecclesiastic of our days; that he was truly fearless
and uncomprcmising in the maintenance and assertion
of his opinions, as he thought them, whether they
were popular or unpopular ; that he was not afraid
of great men ; that he was not afraid even of the news-
papers. With regard to his successor, Dr. Temple had
been to his contemporaries an example of the very highest
standard of duty uncompromisingly carried into practice;
of stern self-denial, yet of manly cheerfulness that never
flagged ; of noble powers most nobly used ; and of powers
strengthened and hallowed in their exercise by Christian
principle and Christian Charity.

Sir John Coleridge, in proposing "Success to the Newton
Abbot Agricultural and Labourers' Friend Association,"
said : There are one or two matters upon which I should
like to detain you for a few moments. First, I would
venture to ask, Do you think that the farmers as a class,
have yet sufficiently grasped the idea of the absolute
necessity of considerable improvement in their
own education ? If anything is certain, this is,
that a great and thorough system of national education
is the one great necessity of the time; that the want of
this education is becoming generally acknowledged;
sooner or later that want will be supplied. I don't
pretend to aspire to the gift of prophecy. As a mere
subordinate of the Government I have no more know-
ledge of the intentions of the Government than any
other gentleman in this room. But I only say
what any man would say possessed of common
sense and using ccmmon observation—that looking at and
contemplating the signs of the times it is tolerably certain
that if a national system cf education takes place—and I
believe that sooner or later it will take place—it will be a
system which will not apply itself to farmers as a class,
and they will have to find their own education for them-
selves. Depend upon it he is the truest farmers' friend
who bids them to look well to this matter. This is closely
and immediately connected with a subject upon which
we have heard a good deal of angry discussion of late—
I mean the physical condition of the labouring classes in
this part of the world. Now, it is quite certain that if
there be a system of national education applied to these
lasses, the very first thing which they will reflect
upon is their own physical condition ; the very
first thing they will turn their minds to is
their own position and prospects in the present
state cf things. Now I ask, in no scoffing
or censorious spirit, but in the spirit of a man
honestly seeking information at the hands of persons who
know much more about the subject than myself—is the
condition of the labouring classes in this part of England
satisfactory? Is it what it might be? Is it what it
ought to be ? Is it such that we Devonshire men can reflect
on with comfort and credit ? Sir Charles Trevelyan, a
west countryman of great ability, of no mean intelligence,
of judicial and impartial judgment, and, so far as I am
ware, without any personal or party bias to distort his
views, has drawn a picture of a state of things in
this part of the country which must be most
painful and depressing to any one who has read
of it or who has contemplated it. Now, is there any
foundation for Sir Charles Trevelyan's statements ? lie
had no remedy to propose. As a lawyer, and not a land-
lord, he could not be expected to suggest any, but he
earnestly pressed upon the farmers to give the subject
their best attention.

ANOTHER ROBBEBY BY A 13_431C CLERK.

At the Mansion House, on Wednesday, George Hyde, 27,
a bank clerk, was brought up before Sir Robert Carden, on a
charge of robbing his employers, Messrs. Barnett, Hoare,
and Co., of a bank note for £5OO, in October 1867. Ho
was also charged with embezzling various sums of
money, amounting to upwards of £4OO. In October
1867, the prisoner was a clerk in the service of
Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Company, bankers, Lombard-
street, and it appeared that on Saturday, the
19th of that month, he received a sum of
£3,650 in bank notes, which was paid in after
bank hours to the credit of Messrs. W. Adams
and Co., merchants, Bishopsgate-street, but he only entered
in the books £3,150, and retained a bank-note for £5OO.
On the following Monday or Tuesday, Mr. Gray,
the principal clerk in the bank, spoke to him about
a draft for £368. He replied that he had left it for accep-
tance at the Paymaster-General's Office, and he said he
would go and get it. He left api arcntly for that purpose,
but never returned, and nothing was heard of him until a
few days ago when he gave himself up to the police at St.
Helen's, in Lancashire. Ho was remanded for a week.

ATTEMPT TO UPSET A TRAIN.

-- - o---

The following is from the Dublin Evening Mail :—"An
attempt was made on Monday to upset the morning up
train from Trim, and was only frustrated by the
vigilance of a milesman. Some miscreants had raised
one of the rails at a short curve about a mile from Ath-
boy station, placing the end of it upon that of the next.
All the bolts and fastenings had been removed and
thrown into an adjoining field. Fortunately the approaching
train was stopped at Athboy, or the consequences might
have been very fatal. The number of passengers
was large, the majority being on their way to Navan to
attend the meeting there. No trace has yet been dis-
covered of the perpetrators of the outrage. We under-
stand that the early train which was fortunately
stopped in time to prevent what would, in all probability,
have been a very fatal accident, contained five Roman
Catholic priests and 190 farmers proceeding to a tenant-
right meeting at Navan. The belief in the district is
that the outrage was a Fenian device to stop the meeting.

ATTEMPT ASSASSINATION OF A PRIEST.

The Dublin Evening Post gives details of the "Orange
outrage in the county of Cavan," in which one man was
shot dead and several wounded. The particulars
are thus given :—The Rev. James Dunne, P.P.,
of Anna, and the Rev. Mr. Smith, C.C.,
accompanied by some respectable tenant farmers,
were running home from Cavan about six o'clock on
Monday evening, having been present at the great
tenant-right demonstration. The two clergymen
were seated on a private car, and just as they
reached a sequestered part of the road near the Druma-
lee a volley was fired by a party of Orangemen,
Who had evidently laid in ambush for them. The two
clergymen fortunately escaped unhurt, but one of the men
who was behind the car was shot dead on the spot;
another man was wounded in the forehead, another in
the thigh, and others received injuries more or less serious.
The horse drawing the car on which the reverend gentle-
men were seated was also shot dead. The assassins, of
course, fled at once ; but the police have been scouring the
country all night, and have succeeded in making one or two
arrests.

We learn from our Dublin telegrams, the Pall Mall
Gazette states, that the attempted assassination was, as
might have been anticipated, warmly discussed in the
Dublin papers of onWednesd ay. The Roman Catholic journals
unhesitatingly ascribe the outrage to Orangemen, while the
Protestant papers aro equally unanimous in attributing it
to the Fenians.

THE CLIMATE OF VICTORIA.—The climate of
Australia is undergoing alterations in consequence of
d nudation of tree covering. In the Ballarat district the
destruction of the timber has been accompanied by a
corresponding diminution of the rainfall. The Govern-
ment of Victoria have appointed an Inspector of State
Forests to prevent the waste of timber, and to establish

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

NVEDNESDIY.

M. le Prefet de Police has been doing a very foolish
thing. He has closed an electoral meeting, at which the
question of the oath was to have been discussed. I have
already told you that the idea of electing candidates who
will refuse to take the oath is generally disapproved of ; if
so, there was the less need for an arbitrary display
of power, which could only irritate the electors. Two
Radical delegates have been despatched to M. Ledru-
Rollin to ascertain whether he will present himself as a
candidate. It is probable, under the circumstances, that
he will refuse to do so, as he objects to the sennent.
When the delegates return we shall be able to calculate
with more exactitude the chances of the Opposition can-
didates.

I hear that M. de Forcade la Roquette has despatched
most authoritative instructions to the prefects—a fact
which augurs ill for the Liberal intentions of the Cabinet.
Prince Napoleon, since his return. to Paris, has been
Ming a succession of /Lae; for public functionaries,
deputies, and others have been constantly visiting him.
M. Emile 011ivier has been in communication with the
Prince. Malicious wits affirm that M. 011ivier spends his
life in refusing portfolios that are never offered to him!

The Liberti has received some rather ominous news from
the departments. The committees of the Radical Demo-
crats of Paris have informed the provincial committees
that they intend to put all possible pressure on the
members of the Opposition, to constrain them to demand
the impeachment of the Ministry, and to make this im-
peachment coincident with the 2nd of December.
The Patrie announces that a modification of the obnoxious
Article 75 of the Constitution of the year VIII. is
in contemplation, and that it will satisfy all
whose interests are affected. Two other questions of
great political interest will be discussed by the Conseil
d'etat. These are the nomination of the mayors, and the
determination of the functions compatible with the office
of deputy. The first of these topics is likely to give rise
to a good deal of discussion. The Council begins its
deliberations to-morrow, but these points will probably
not be touched upon until near the end of the month.
The Ministry have gone to Compiegne to attend a
Council, but will return to-morrow. There has been some
talk of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne resigning his place
as Foreign Secretary, and M. de Talhouet was named
as his successor, but the latter refused to enter-
tain the idea unless his own friends were in
the Ministry. No immediate change in the Cabi-
net is anticipated. It is said that M. Thiers
has been requested to select those most fitted for
Ministers among the members of the Left Centre, in the
event of that party being called to power.
The France alludes to the sinister reports which have
prevailed respecting the health of the Emperor, and admits
that for three days the Emperor was affected by the
weather. It denies in the most emphatic manner that a
relapse has taken place, or that any serious change has
occurred. The Emperor took advantage of his visit to
Paris to have a consultation of doctors. The Constitutionnet
affirms that the health of his Majesty is most satisfactory.
The Loire announces the termination of the strike
among the weavers of Pauissieres. Three of the four
large warehouses have yielded to the demands of the
employis, and the fourth is expected soon to follow the
example of the others.

The Viceroy of Egypt is projecting a plan to surprise his
guests. He proposes to make an excursion to the Island
of Elephantine, where tho Nilometer monument of the
ancient Egyptians is placed. This Nilometer was in
existence some centuries before the Christian era, and it
is still in a sufficient state of preservation to mark the
epochs of the great overflowings of the river.
The Frankfort Journal makes mention of an earth-
quake which took place on the last day of October. Ac-
counts from Darmstadt and Wiesbaden state that a simi•
lar sensation was experienced in those towns.
