GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

The Dundee Advertiser says it will be satisfactory to all
merchants and manufacturers having dealings with the
Government to know that a system is about to be
adopted with regard to Admiralty contracts which will
doubtless be followed before long in the several other
State offices in which purchases have to be m.clo. Mr.
Baxter, the Financial Secretary, will, in the beginning of
April, open a new Purchase and Contract Department
at Whitehall, with a complete system of books, checks,
and regulations, suggested by his commercial experience.
In this department all the store purchases will be made in
future under Mr. Baxter's personal superintendence, and in
it all tenders—when tenders are called for—will be received.
As the responsibility of purchasing will be centred in this
office, the character of the firms making tenders will
be considered along with the tenders themselves, and fair
dealers and upright men will receive that fair play which
it is generally believed has been too often withheld from
them. The importance of the change will be acknowledged
by all engaged in those branches of business which have
transactions with the Government.

AUSTRALIA.

The Government of Victoria have invited ieat'ers for
a monthly mail and passenger service via the Cape of
Good Hope. This route is much preferable to the Cape
Horn track which has been hitherto followed. Indeed
the perils and discomforts of the latter voyage have
resulted in the almost total cessation of voluntary emigra-
tion to Australia. Emigrants are sore'y wanted in the
colony, and the authorities hope by the establishment of a
rapid monthly mail service to give a fresh impetus to a
movement which is now in such a languishing condition.

THE SPANISH THRONE.

The news of the day from Spain is the announcement of
another movement amongst candidates for the Spanish
Throne. The Imbarcial of Madrid states that Dom Fer-
nando has again b.:en br,ught forward, and that his refusal
to accept the crown will very probably b.; ove come. Ne-
gotiations respecting his candidature are going on between
Spain, Portugal, France, and England. The Liberte, on
the other hand, announces that the Duke of Montpensier
has retired, and Prince Napoleon has now the best chance
of success. It is reported that he has consented to
"stand." Nothing is said as to the cause of the Duke's
retirement, and for the present, therefore, both these
statements must be accepted with reserve.

been ftr the most part a Am- fight, and that 31f..
Bright's speech was the first to give it a loftier and
worthier tone, and was sustained by the eloquence of
political conviction inspired by moral and religious
feeling. Whatever may be the opinion as to the
merits of the measure under discussion, there can be
no doubt .as to which of these two speeches more
conveyed the idea of sincerity. Mr. Disraeli was
witty and brilliant, and covered what was virtually a
surrender under a fine display of elocutionary fire-
works. Mr. Bright spoke with all the feeling and the
force of one who finds himself at last in a position
to give effect to the convictions of a lifetime.

ECCLESIASTICAL DILAPIDATIONS.

After the lapse c: several sessions without a Dilapida-
tion!! Bill, the Archbishop of York has laid before the
House of Lords another bill upon the subject. The bill
proposes, like its predecessors, the appointment of official
surveyors ; they are to be chosen, not for a diocese, but
for an archdeacoury, and by the archdeacon and rural
deans, subject to the approval of the bishop. The sur-
veyors are to be paid, not by salary, but according
to a rate of charges to be fixed in each diocese by
the bishop, the archdeacons, and the chancellor. An
incumbent of a benefice may at any time, at
his own expense, .have the buildings belonging to his
.3enefice inspected by an official surveyor ; his report
is to be subject to appeal to the bishop or archdeacon.
On the incumbent executing the works, he and his estate
are to be free for five years from all claims for dilapida-
tions, unless the bishop, on a vacancy occurring within
the five years, shall consider that wilful waste committed
makes a fresh inspection proper. If the surveyor certifies
that, in consideration of the antiquity of the premises,
or for other reason to be specified, the cost of the repairs
ought to be spread over several years, then with the
consent of the bishop Queen Anne's Bounty Board may
lend money for the execution of the repairs, to be repay-
able by instalments out of the proceeds of the living.
On the avoidance of any benefice, the incumbent not
being free from liability, as above-mentioned, the arch-
deacon is to order an inspection of the buildings. If the
surveyor's report of dilapidations is objected to, the arch-
deacon may direct a fresh survey ; and the order even-
tually made by the archdeacon will be subject to appeal
to the bishop. If the amount finally ordered to be expended
cannot be recovered from the late incumbent or his estate,
or if there are repairs ordered for which he is not liable,
the new incumbent may, with the consent of the bishop,
borrow from the Bounty Board on the security of
the benefice, the amount to be repayable from the proceeds
of the living by instalments. The new incumbent is to
pay to the Bountyßoard the sum required to make good the
dilapidations, and it will be paid out as the works progress.
There are several clauses of an incidental or miscellaneous
character. The incumbent of every benefice hereafter
becoming vacant is to insure from fire, and deposit the
receipt from time to time in the bishop's registry. The
bill does not appear to relate to houses of residence of
bishops, deans, or canons.

MEXICO.

The recent numerous executions in the Republic
have caused so much trepidation and horror among
the people that Juarez has ordered a complete sus-
pension of them throughout the country. All the
military prisoners recently captured in rebellion are
ordered to the capital to be tried for treason.
General Negreti,is reported to be reorganising his
forces. Escobedo has defeated the insurgents under
Cauales in Samulipas.

A bona fide prize fight, according to the rules of
the ring, except that hair-pulling and biting
were allowed, took place between two women
in Somerville, Massachusetts, at an early hour
on Monday morning. At the first round one of
them, named Sarah Chapman, became frightened
and jumped out of the ring, but her backers drove
her in again, and she eventually won the fight. At
the twenty-first round her opponent, Molly Jones
—both of them having been severely punished—
begged her seconds, in God's name, to take her
away ; and so the fight and money-- fifty dollars—
was awarded to Sarah.

THE REFORM LEAGUERS.

Messrs. Beales (M.A.) and Howell will certainly
not lose anything by resigning their connection with
the now defunct Reform League. Mr. Beales, it is
said, will get a county-court judgeship, which should
be equivalent to his retirement from political life
and Mr. Howell, having failed to get a seat in Par
liament, has become private secretary to a gentlemtin
who has been more fortunate than he.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Armagh likes
Fenianism as little as the Beresfords like it. The
Primate of Ireland could not denounce Fenianism
more vigorously than his episcopal brother (or
competitor ?) has done. He declares of Ribbonism
that it was " conceived in darkness, nourished by
intemperance, supported by violence, treachery, and
bloodshed: that thehideous monster spreads desolation
wherever A penetrates. It has been the most power-
ful instrument in the hands of the exterminator
—the most powerful aid of the cruel petty tyrant
—it demoralises society, and extinguishes the
generous instincts of our nature." He adds that
" all secret societies are branded with the anathema
of the Church, and the crimes of agrarian outrage
and murder are condemned by the natural and
Divine laws. The Church has always condemned
these crimes. Murder cries to heaven for vengeance,
and agrarian outrages attack the fundamental laws
of society. Our rights and our liberties are not to
be promoted by violence and bloodshed. Evil is not
to be done that good may follow. But what good
could come from the violation of God's law ? Or
what services could the members of secret societies
render to their country ?" He concludes by caution-
ing the young men of Ireland how they are deluded
by emissaries who, pretending to be friends, are in
reality the worst enemies of the country.

John Jasper, a young man, who up to the prosent time
maintained a good character, was charged with stealing a
scarf, value 2s. Gd., from the shop of Mr. Biggs, hosier,
High-street, Poplar. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment, with Lard labour.

DUBLIN, Monday Night.—According to the Irish.
Times of to-day the Lord Chancellor of Ireland is to be
made a Peer. The same journal gives a rumour that Earl
Spencer has tendered to the Prime Minister his resigna-
tion of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. The reaso❑
assigned is that the nobility and gentry have held aloof
from his Court.

FRESH TROUBLE IN AFFGHANISTAL

Shere Ali has not secured peace and quietude by h7s late
victory. A son of the ex •Ameer of Affghanistan bas been
raising forces in Turkestan, and, owing to the remissness
of Shere Ali's officers, has seized one or two important
posts. Abdool Rahman, who lost the late battle, has gone
to Turkestan to assist in this fresh outbreak of war. As
Shere Ali, however, has the prestige of N ict ry, l:esides
British gold and influence, on his side, the Times of India
thinks that no serious consequences need be apprehended.
It is evident that our gold and influence are likely to find
ample employment.

WESTMINSTER.

ALLEGED FINDING OF ANCIENT COINS.—A middle-aged,
rough-looking woman, giving the name of Mary Anne
Leach, was charged with unlawfully having in her posses-
sion a number of antique small silver coins, some of
which are Roman, without giving a satisfactory account
of the possession of the same.
Police-constable Barry Collins, 36 B, said that at a
quarter past eight last night he was called into the shop
of Mr. Scrivener, joweller, Prince's-street, Storey's-gate,
where he found the prisoner, and Mr. Scrivener informed
him that she had just offered some ancient silver coins,
which he produced, for sale. Witness asked prisoner
where she got them, and she said that she had had them
in her possession for years, and that they had been
originally found in Tothill-street. He told her she must
go with him to the station, and on the way she told him
she had picked them up that morning in Great Chapel-
street and the Broadway.
Prisoner now repeated this story to the magistrate.
Mr. Dayman said that there was no artifl&al value
reasonably attached to such articles as the coins produced.
He should discharge the prisoner, but order the coins to
be detained for a month to see if the owner could be
found.

EXCLUSIVE DEALING.

The suggestion which was first published in a
High Church paper that those who voted against the
Conservative candidates should not be favoured with
the support of Tory partisans, is being practically
carried out in Scotland. At the recent election for
Roxburghshire Lord Schomberg Kerr came forward
in the Conservative interest, au opposition to Si;
v illiam bcott, the former Liberal member. In
spite, however, of the territorial influence
of the noble lord's brother, the Marquis of
Lothian, the Liberals won a decisive victory.
Its effects are now being felt in
the county. According to an influential Scotch
journal, a meeting of disappointed Conservatives
was held about the beginning of last month, when a
question of making their displeasure felt by with-
drawing their custom from Liberal shopkeepers was
considered and resolved on. The commencement of
the new year, when accounts are generally settled,
has shewn this to be the case, and many trades-
men have received formal notice from several
Tory landlords and farmers that their accounts
are closed. One ludicrous instance occurred of a
little country laird calling at a village tailor's door
and announcing that he was not to get "the flun-
key's breel-:s to male this year for voting against
Lord Scombert '" This is one more argument which
will be used in favour of the Ballot.
London, England, 1869-01-11

LEGAL ITEMS.

The Law Times states that owing to the large
amount of work arising out of the election petitions.,
the common law courts will be deprived of the ser-
vices of three of the ablest judges for the remainder
of the judicial year.—The same journal mentions a
rumour to the effect that Mr. Knox, the police
magistrate at Marlborough-street, will succeed
Sir Diehard Mayne, and that Mr. 11. F. Lewis
will go to Marlborough-street. The state-
ment is confirmed that Mr. Wickens, who
Ins long been the Attorney-General's " Equity
devil" (the two words will sound incongruous to lay
ears) has been appointed Vice-Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, in the place of Mr. James, who
has been appointed Vice-Chancellor in succession to
Sir G. M. Giffard, now Lord Justice.—The Solicitor's
Journal censures Mr. Bruce's respite of Bisgrove, and
says " such a course is calculated to render the pre-
rogative, with the administration of which the home
Secretary is entrusted, a curse instead of a blessing
to the country."
London, England, 1869-01-11

THE BALLOT.

The agitation for the ballot is to commence in real
earnest on Friday next, when a great metropolitan
demonstration will be held at the Arundel Great Hall,
Arundel-street, Strand. The chair will be taken by
Mr. Milner Gibson, and the following members of
Parliament have promised to attend :—Mr. Berkeley
(Bristol), Mr. C. Buxton (East Surrey), Mr. H.
Edwards (Weymouth), Mr. Fowler (Cambridge),
Mr. Gilpin (Northampton), Mr. Holms (Hackney),
Mr. Hardcastle (Bury St. Edmunds), Mr. Harvey
Lewis (Marylebone), Alderman Lusk (Finsbury),
'Mr. Guildford Onslow (Guildford), Mr. Reed
(Hackney), and Sir Sydney Waterlow (Dumfries-
shire)

FENIANS IN PARIS.

Mr. Bruce will have to ask the help of Lord
Clarendon, if report be true. It is said that there is
just now a gathering of Fenians in Paris. Mr. John
Savage is there, the man whom Mr. Seward lately
appointed consul at Leeds, and Mr. Stephen Meany.
The latter worthy has fortified himself with docu-
ments to prove that he was a naturalised American
at the time that he was apprehended here. He is
plaguing Mr. Reverdy Johnson to take up his case,
but the American Minister seems to have doubts
about the authenticity"of Mr. Meany's papers.

THE COST OF THE ABYSSINIAN ETPEDITION.

Several weeks ago our London correspondent
stated that the cost of the Abyssinian war would
prove considerably over the £5,000,000 estimated by
Sir S. Northcote, and that it would be between six
and seven millions. We now learn from the Friend
of India that the exact amount is £6,589,100. All
of this has been met by the Government of India,
except some three-quarters of a million sent out by
the Secretary of State in specie, the greater part of
which was subsequently sent on to India. England
is still owing India a sum of 23,089,100.
London, England, 1869-01-11

ITALY.

The Florence correspondent of the Daily News, though
deeming it a matter of course that the King of
Italy is net averse to the prospect of the throne of
Spain falling to the House of Savoy, sari that
General Menabren and his Cabinet do not share the
wishes and hopes of the royal Family. The Nazione, in a
very outspoken article, believed to be of Ministerial origin,
writes against the candidature of an Italian prince. It
must be adulated, however, that the arguments brought
forward are not very substantial, though, as the Daily
News correspondent remarks, the sentiment is unmistak-
able. The pleas against the candidature are• derived
chiefly from the dangers which must wait upon the sove-
reign of Spain, and the loss which Italy would sustain by
his departure. It is doubtful how far these considerations
would weigh against the desire to strengthen Italy by the
alliance of an extensive country, which might become very
powerful under good government.

C L'R CII NEW 'S.

The John Bull (which paper, by the way, appears in
an enlarged form, with new type, and otherwise im-
proved) gives the following items of Church news :
Bishop Trower, on resigning the temporary charge
of the diocese of Lichfield, after the return of Bishop
Selwyn, wrote an address to the clergy of that dio-
cese, in which he says that two facts have
impressed him deeply : " the one, the crying want of
the diocese in its mining and manufacturing districts;
the other, the zeal of the ill-paid clergy, who from
the pure love of souls are doing our Master's work in
localities where they can be enabled to persevere in
their most faithful labours only by the highest pos-
sible motives."—A letter is published from the late
Archbishop Longley to the Bishop of Illinois, thank-
ing that bishop for the great assistance which he
rendered with regard to the Lambeth Congress,
" For myself." says the Archbishop. " I shall alwayr
look hack on the Conference as an Important era in
my life and arcahiepiscopate. One of the acts of Sir S.
_ .
Northcote, before leaving office, was to appoint the
Rev. C. R. Tollemache, senior curate of St. Matthias,
Stoke Newington (formerly curate of St. Stephen's,
Devonport), to an Indian chaplaincy.—The Vicar of
Dymock, the Rev. W. Baird, has said that in order to
comply with the judgment of the Privy Council, he
will omit the hymn before the sermon and the
collect before and after the sermon, and will conclude
the service at the Holy Table with the prayer for the
Church Militant, the concluding collect and blessing.
—The Rector of St. James's, Westminster, a Low
Churchman, celebrated on Sunday standing east-
wards.—The Archdeacon of Taunton was to arrive in
London on Friday night, to draw up a report to
be submitted to the adjourned meeting of Ritu alists.
It will probably counsel submission to the judgment
under protest, and will be, no doubt, generally
accepted. This statement of the John Bull's bears
out the anticipation of our London correspondent.
The Star also believes that our correspondent
is right in stating that the costs on both sides in the
recent suit amount to L 20,000.

OUR, ERRATIC TENOR.

Mr. Sims Reeves has at last tried the patience of
musical impressarii too far. The lessee of the
Cheltenham Theatre arranged that a concert should
be given in that town on December 17, at which
Sims Reeves was to sing. There was a very large
attendance, and very deep and loud indignations
when, as not unfrequently happens, the chief
English tenor was not forthcoming. The usual plea
of illness was put in ; but, as Mr. Reeves sang at
Worcester the following night, Mr. Hodgson would
not accept the excuse, and has now sued Mr. Reeves
for damages. When the case came on it had to be
adjourned, for it had been found impossible to serve
the notice of trial upon the defendant in consequence
of his uncertain movements. Why not serve him
when he is singing ?

ROME.

A. private letter states that Rome has been very full of
visitors during the Christmas season. In 1866 people were
kept away by the cholera, and in 1867 by the Garibaldians,
and so this year they are making up for lost time. The
weather has been very wet and mild, and the flowers sold
in the streets are a sight to behold—immense bunches of
camellias, roses, bluebells, and violets being sold for a
franc. Round the grave of Gibson, the sculptor, there are
roses in profusion. The number of handsome carriages
which promenade on the Pincian Hill is very large, and
hundreds of English may be seen driving there in
vehicles worthy of Hyde Park. The "Te Deum" which
was sung at the Jesuits' Church on the 31st, in thanksgiving
for the mercies of the past year, was beautifully given,
and the Pope, with his body-guard, attended in State.
The service at St. John Lateran, on St. John's Day, was
also very fine. The English society at Rome is particu-
larly sociable and agreeable. People do not go to Rome
to dress, as they do at Nice, or to get well, as they do at
Menton, but with the serious intention of studying the
most interesting city in the world, with all its wealth of
ancient and modern art.
London, England, 1869-01-11

THE REDUCTIONS.

The " service" papers are become suddenly interest-
ing. The alarm with which notice' of a general
reduction in each department was received appears
to have subsided somewhat. The expression of it
does not seem to have been altogether without effect.
Opinion was so dead against the reduction of the
Royal Marines that it has sent that matter into the
livnbo of uncertain possibilities. The United Service
Gazette, indeed, states that no such reduction was
contemplated. The Saturday Review speaks of the
re-arrangement of the Admiralty under Mr. Childers
as " absurd in its inception." But that department
seems determined to reduce expenses—which is its
great duty for the present. In addition to
the abolition oT Master Attendant at Chat-
ham Dockyard, it is said that the Executive
Superintendent of Hospitals, Victualling-yard, Steam
Reserve, &c., will be suppressed, the work being
taken by the medical officers, the Victualling Store-
keepers, and the Machinery Inspectors. Great
changes, too, are taking place in the "Steam Depart-
ment," now removed to the central building at
Whitehall. Two chief clerks of Navy Control
and the Steam Offices are to be superannuated.
Writers are to be thinned wherever practicable.
Both Woolwich and Deptford Dockyards are, accord-
ing to the Army and Navy Gazette, to be eventually
closed.

In the military department great changes are
to be made. Though the reduction of the marines
is abandoned pro tem., the Broad Arrow states that
our troops are to be recalled from certain
foreign possessions. The depot battalions also are to
be gradually annihilated, and the strength of the
other battalions equalised. Altogether, the papers
seem satisfied with the work that is being done, and
the way in which the Government have set about it.
But it by no means follows that every one else is.
Rumour says that H.R.H. " the Duke " is much
dissatisfied. When Mr. Cardwell sent to the Horse
Guards to ask him to agree to certain reductions and
alterations, " George " replied that the reductions
were impossible. They must be made, nevertheless,
was the effect of the rejoinder given by the Secretary
of State for War, and made they were, in spite of the
royal non possumus. The Telegraph, speaking as if
inspired, points to the manufacturing department,
storehouses, and arsenals, as affording scope for re-
trenchment. " When we look at the army estimates,
and find that out of a total of £15,455,000 only
£5,749,200 go to the soldier, it is easy to perceive
that the real field for great reductions lies in the
administrative services."

The volunteer force have been begging for more
money, and there seems to have been a gene-
ral impression that they would have a chance
with a new Government. Mr. Cardwell, however, is
too busy paring down to accede to an increase of the
capitation grant just now. So he told a deputation
which waited on him on Friday that he thought th e
volunteers had enough.

LORD DARBY'S LAST JOKE.

It is reported of Lord Derby that on hearing the
conundrum propounded, " Why is a bald head like
Paradise ?"—the well-known answer to which is,
" Because it is a bright and shining place, where
there is no parting nor dyeing "—his lordship added,
" And, thank Jove, no more Whigs I" This is not a
bad pendant to Mr. Disraeli's riddle, " Why is Mr.
Gladstone like a telescope ?"—" Because you can
draw him out, see through him, and shut him up ;" or
to Archbishop's Manning's, who, on hearing some-
body sneer at " the right hon. member for Green-
wich," said, " Why should we not do as we have
always done, take the time of day from Greenwich ?"

EXCLUSIVE DEALING.

---- -
The suggestion which was first published in a
High Church paper that those who voted against the.
Conservative candidates should not be. favoured. with
the support of Tory partisans, is being pract.
carried out in Scotland. At the recent election fox
Roxburghshire Lord Schomberg Kerr ca.n:ie forward
in the Conservative interest, opposAion to Six
NN illiam zeutt, the former Liberal member. in
spite, however, of the territorial influence
of the noble lord's brother, the Marquis of
Lothian, the Liberals won a decisive victory.
Its effects are now being felt in
the county. According to an influential Scotch
journal, a meeting of disappointed Conservatives
was held about the beginning of last month, when a
question of making their displeasure felt by with-
drawing their custom from Liberal shopkeepers was
considered and resolved on. The commencement of
the new year, when accounts are generally settled,
hrs shewn this to be the case, and many trades-
men have received formal notice from several
Tory landlords and farmers that their accounts
are closed. One ludicrous instance occurred of a
little country laird calling at a village tailor's door
and announcing that he was not to get " the flun-
key's breei.s to make this year for voting against
Lord Scontbert This is one more argument which
will be used in favour of the Ballot.
