TUE IRISH BISHOPS AND THEIR CHURCH.

The Conference of the Irish Bishops, after two
days' deliberation, terminated on Wednesday after-
noon. The prelates unanimously resolved that a
general synod, in which the clergy and the laity are
to be fully end equally represented, should be
assembled as soon as possible. Further, "As the
existing representation of the clergy in the provin-
cial synods is imperfect, it is desirable, for the carry-
ing out of the foregoing resolution, that these synods
be convened to consider the changes which would be
necessary to adapt their representation to the piesent
circumstances of the Church."
Touching the great question, " What will the
Irish Protestants do F' the Dublin correspondent
of the Standard observes that if the Church Body
decide on availing themselves of the offer to com-
mute, and the clergy agree to do so, it is most im-
portant that applications to commute should be ready
to be sent in to the Commissioners on the Ist of
January, 1871. In the case of all vacancies occur-
ing after that data, where no_ previous application
has been made, the benefit of commutation will
be lost to the Church. But no application can be
made before January 1, 1871.
The Dublin Freeman thinks it possible that some
of the cathedrals which were to have been blown up
with gunpowder rather than handed over to the
Catholics, may, after all, be "restored to their ori-
ginal uses." Up to the lat of July, 1871, the Pro-

opinion of the Freeman, the laity, at least, will not
be anxious to maintain these costly edifices when
parish churches will do as well. The Protestant
Church will not want all the cathedrals, and there is,
therefore, reason to believe that some of them wil!
pass to the Catholics with the concurrence of Pro-
testan ts.

I ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's rills are the most
gentle, yet most effective, aperients, and therefore better
calculated for a family medicine than any other. They
always set the stomach right, rouse the liver, stimulate
the kidneys, and thoroughly cleanse the whole system.
Holloway's pills are Trost useful in chronic weakness of
the stomach, induced by luxurious living, sedentary habits,
or othe causes. They have restored the emaciated to
health after every other means had failed. While they
are purifying they are strengthening, while regulating
they are increasing nervous and muscular power. These
pills do not excite any violent action in the body; hence
they are specially suited to the young awl feeble, whose
constitutions may be irretrievably injured by more strong
medicines.

THE HOME SECP.F.TARY AND THE POLICE.

The refusal of Mr. Bruce to take any proceedings
against the policemen who falsely accused the three
bank clerks of drunken and disorderly conduct is
unanimously condemned. The Times complains
that the Home Secretary has been twice questioned
on this matter, and has twice ignored the real
point of the case. He seems to think that the bur-
den of proof rests with the young men who were
then falsely charged, whereas the police-court
magistrate unequivocally declared that the police had
borne false witness. " The police ought not to be so
much as suspected, and it is at all events the duty of
the G overnm en tto guard them against suspicion. Yet
here some of their members stand charged by a court
of law with conspiracy and perjury, and their superiors
refuse to institute any open investigation of the
case." -Worse still, Mr. Bruce informs the House
and the public that he has in his hands some state-
ments which tend to exculpate the police and bring
the conduct of thee young men under grave sus-
picion. Why not bring this evidence forward?
Why should not the police be exculpated if Mr.
Bruce can do so ? Is the Bowe Secretary a final
administrator of justice, who records his decisions
without deigning to give his reasons ?

MR. HARVEY LEWIS, \I.P.
The &fence which the member for Marylebone
has submitted to his constituents is flatly contra-
dicted by Mr. Holt, solicitor to Mr. Charles
Lafitte. Mr. Lewis said that the firm of
" Charles Lafitte and Co." failed " through
circumstances over which he luid no con-
trol." Mr. Holt says that Mr. Lewis himself was
the immediate and direct cause of the company's
ruin. Mr. Lewis declared that he had lodged an ap-
peal against Vice-Chancellor Malins's verdict of
"false, fraudulent, and fictitious" practices, but that
the appeal could not be heard. Mr. Holt says it
could be heard any time. In short, the solicitor
affirms that the member for Marylebone submits to
the censure of the Vice-Chancellor because he has no
means of skewing that it is unjust.

PARLIAMENTARY REPORTERS.
Ex-M.P. Mr. Darby Griffith demurs emphatically
to the assumption that speeches in Parliament are
ever improved by the reporters who take them down
—that the bad grammar and logic of members are
polished up by the shorthand writers. " Whenever
the public find a speech rs reported read well and
logically, they may be quite certain that it was taken
down verbatim, as it fell from the lips of the
speaker." If, on the contrary, the public find a bad
speech, they may be pretty sure that it has been
" improved "—cut down and altered—by the
reporters. Such is Mr. Darby Griffith's view
of the matter ; and a very natural one it is.
So many of his speeches were curtailed in print, so
few ever appeared in full, that he may well think the
" improvements" of the reporters a nuisance. It
would no doubt be gratifying to the late member for
Devizes if all the discourses with which he had bored
the House of Commons were re-inflicted on news-
paper readers; but would it be equally gratifying to
the public

,According to the latest accounts the parlist cause is
perishing miserably. The telegrams from Madrid any
pounce that the variourbands are dispersing. Don Carlos
has not yet assumed the direction of the campaign, and
hence the movements of his followers have been iso.
lated. It is said that he was waiting until the
sympathy of the country was more clearly expressed in
his favour, and also that he desired to attain possession of
some important point of defence or to secure the adhesion
of some of the regiments. The overthrow of the con.
spiracles at Saragossa and Pampeluna has greatly discon.
• certed his plans. The consequence of this undefined
policy has been that the Carlists bands have wandered
about with no aim in view but to keep up agitation
and shake public confidence in the Government.
The French authorities have seized on the frontier
forty cases of guns and a quantity of ammu-
nition that were destined for the insurgents. The
police authorities in Madrid seem to be very weak and
irresolute, and a state of anarchy prevails in some quarters
with respect to personal security and the rights of pro.
perty. If the police persist in this supine course, it is
feared that before long serious disturbances may take
place.

The Carlist editors of the independent and anti-revolu-
tionary journals have been attacked with great malignity,
and it seems strange that the Government has not inter-
fered in their behalf before this. Such a state of things
can hardly last without restoring the reign of absolutism.
The Emperor Napoleon has given satisfaction to
the Spanish Government by the decided course he has
adopted towards the Carlists, and he has denounced all
sympathy with the movements on the part of his authori-
ties on the frontier.

The probable defeat of the Carlists seems to have in.
spired the partisans of Queen Isabella with fresh hope,
but they hold that the abdication of the Queen is indis.
pensable to their success. They desire that she should
give up in favour of the Prince of Asturias, and it is said
that the Queen has, for the first time, consented to dis-
cuss the question.

TURKEL

The relations between the Sultan and the Khedive aro
anything but satisfactory. According to the Levant
Herald, a messenger has been sent to Egypt with a letter
from the Porte to the Viceroy, setting forth the various
grievances that exist, and declaring that the privileges
granted in the firman of 1841 will be withdrawn unless
some satisfactory explanations are given. The jealousy
of the Sultan has been aroused by the late visits of
the Viceroy to the leading European Courts. Alto-
gether the sending of this note may be looked upon as an
ominous proceeding.

A BARMAID CHARGED WITH RODITERY.—Annie Freedom,
a young woman, barmaid to Mr. Berry, of the "Bed Lion
Tavern," King-strcet., St. James's, was charged before Mr.
Knox with robbing her employer.
Mr. Berry said that in consequence of continually
missing money he was induced to give the prisoner (who
had only been in his employ two mouths) notice to leave,
m,nd after doing so, finding that he lost still more, he com-
municated with the police, who detected her in robbing
him, and on taking her into custody she admitted that she
had robbed him.

Sergeant Gould, divisional detective, said that he gave
the prisoner a shilling in payment of a bottle of ginger-
beer and she gave him Bd. change. While standing at the
bar, a female, acting under his instructions, purchased
three shillings' worth of brandy, and as the female was
leaving he saw the prisoner go to the till and take out a
shilling and put it into her pocket. Mr. Berry then came
into the bar, and on looking into the till saw two marked
shillings were missing ; the shilling he tendered and those
tendered by the female having been marked, and thy
were found in the prisoner's packet. He found 18s. iu
the prisoner's box, some of which, she said, belonged to
her.

Mr. Knox directed the officer to make inquries respect-
ing the prisoner's friends, and if it should turn out that it
was her first offence, and the prosecutor had no obj, ction,
ho would try to get her into an institution.
The prisoner was then remanded.

A NOTTINGIIAM ELECTION.

• The Nottingham Journal is concerned for the fame
of its town. Nottingham has been set down as the
worst in the kingdom at election time ; and the
Journal won't have it so. It goes to Bristol to shew
that there is " lambing " elsewhere ; to the now
extinct " Town-and-Gown " riots of Oxford for scenes
of violence ; to Bradford for general corruption ;
to Blackburn for that kind of corruption which is
called intimidation. Nevertheless, it hardly makes
out its case. All these places aro bad ; they excel
each in its own particular way. But Nottingham
seems to have no " particular way." generally, its
electors are not particular ; they will lend a hand to
a " howling " match or a fighting row ; they do .not
mind intimidating one the other, or object to taking
money for doing their work.

WELM LANDLOr D 3.
Mr. Richard's attack on the Welsh landlords,
touching the intimidation practisedii at the general
columnselection, o
leas
the
iasbro,sufaliiitead iar of
the h
lettersierale i. From
ortohme
this Correspondence it is exceedingly gratifying to
learn that the Welsh landlords—or at least their
representatives who write to the Conservative
journals—no longer think intimidation a good thing.
Their efforts to prove 'that this or that statement by
Mr.. Richard was erroneous are some testimony to
an awakening conviction. 'Without entering into
details, it may be mentioned that a writer
on " Toleration," in the Cornhill, a Church
magazine, bears the strongest testimony to the
pressure put upon the Welsh Dissenting- tenants by
their landlords. He goes so far as to s7iy that he has
personally known numerous cases of honest families
brought to misery and ruin through the refusal of
fathers and husbands to vote against their convic-
tions. Even granting that Mr. Eiehard made one
or two incorrect statements—which' however, has
not yet been proved—it is clear that the main point
of his speech, the prevalence of intimidation. in Wales,
is fully established.

RUSSIA.

The Correspondana Slave, a paper width has just made
its appearance as a representative of the Slavonic interests,
says that the insurrection of the Hhirghiz tribes on the
south east frontier of Asia is assuming very alarming
proportions. An army of 40,000 Russians is assembled
in the neighbourhood, and even this force has been found
insufficient to quell the reLellious tribes. The same
journal says that the ruthless stamping out of the Polish
nationality has led to the mutilation of the 'Warsaw
University. The two faculties of law and medicine have
been removed and established in two separate provincial
towns.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
Lie short exchange on London is 25t. 171 c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
.C 3 ►is. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appeArs that
gold at the above price is the same in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 6u
days' sight was on the list ult. 110; per cent. At this rate there
is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

A MERICAN ITEMS.

Colonel Warren, the Fenian, and Mr. J. D. Connell
recently waited upon Secretaries Bontwell and Robeson
and Attorney-General Hoar at Washington, and told
them of the wrongs inflicted upon the Fenian prisoners in
England. They intend to lay the matter individually
before every member of the Cabinet. Attorney-General
Hoar was not at all gracious to them, and intimated
that the invaders of Canada were a set of thieves and
robbers.
The New York Times says that General Jordan, tho
American ex-Confederate officer commanding in Cuba,
has formed a camp of instruction, and is engaged in organ-
ising, disciplining, and equipping a force said to be over
5,000 strong, divided into battalions of infantry and
cavalry and companies of artillery.
The Cubans at Washington have received news of the
defeat of the Spanish troops under General Valmaseda,
some forty miles from St. Jago de Cuba, by General
Jordan's command, after hard fighting. They have also
been informed of the defeat of the troops under General
t?uesada, an insurgent leader, on the 13th and 14th of
Tuly.
The Tribune reports news equally unfavourable to the
Cuban cause. It says that Generals Puello and Lesca
admit their troops, now being decimated by fever cannot
maintain themselves against the climate, one of them
going so far as to say that even with a reinforcement of
P; nOO men little could be done.

arrangement had yet been made relative to the clerks no
longer required at Somerset House in consequence of the
abolition of the fire insurance duty. He could not hold
out hope of further employment to them by the Govern-
ment; but with respect to compensation, he had to say
that the Treasury would take the most liberal view of the
position of affairs as the act enabled them to do.

o----

A telegram from New York states that her Majesty's
ship Eclipse had arrived at Halifax, from Rio Grande,
with yellow fever on board ; that eighteen deaths
had occurred, among the victims being the com-
mander and first licutcrant. On the 29th June a pri-
vate letter from the Eclipse, dated Havana, stated that
the vessel on that afternoon was going to leave for the
Bahamas, where her commander, Captain Henry Harvey,
was to take upon himself the duties of senior officer.
Captain Harvey and all the officers are reported on that
date as being quite well. We may add that nothing is
yet known officially at the Admiralty of the melancholy
occurrence.
