CONSUL CAMERON.

In the Times of yesterday the Abyssinian War
and its cause is discussed again at great length. Mr.
Cameren writes a leJor, nearly two columns, de-
fending himself against the charges n hich have been
brought so freely against him. These charges,
broadly stated, are that he was officious in his dealings
with Theodore; that he broke express orders in going
again to open negotiations with him before a reply
had been received to his Majesty's letter; and that he
was guilty of various other acts, trifling in them-
selves, but still unwise, and calculated to foment any
anger which Theodore may have felt towards
England. Indeed, poor Mr. Cameron has been made
the scapegoat on whom has been poured all the
obloquy of causing that most unfortunate expedi-
tion with its nine millions of expenditure. The
reply which Mr. Cameron gives entirely exonerates
him from any disobedience of express orders.
Earl Russell and the Earl of Clarendon evidently
thought, that Abyssnia would be a good country
to • open up, and Mr. Cameron was given full
power to carry on negotiations. Russell wanted an
embassy to go to the King ; Clarendon as!ied for
a report of the commerce of the country. To give
an answer to Lord Clarendon's demands, Mr. Cameron,
leaving Massowa, wen t into Abyssinia to get the opinion
of Messrs. Stern and Mad, who obiected to making
their reports in writing. As Mr. Cameron had no
answer yet to the letter which Theodore had addressed
to the Queen, it would, perhaps, have been better to
have delayed his expedition of inquiry. But Theo-
dore was not known then as a capricious, half-mad,
and cruel savage. And though Mr. Cameron com-
mitted an undoubted mistake, as after events shew,•
the blunder was.not a very great one, except in its
effect.

THE CONSERVATIVES AT DEPLY.

On Friday Mr. Cox, of Spondon Hall, near Derby,
was entertained at a grand banquet in that town.
The Conservative electors of Derby presented him
with a testimonial forhis services as their member for
three years. Mr. Cox made an appropriate speech, in
which he said that he had committed political suicide
in assisting to pass the Reform Bill, but he did not
repent the course he had taken, ns he believed it to
be a wise and just measure. Ile trusted that good
might come out of evil, but he had his forebodings
about the spoliation of the Irish Church. The con-
dition of Ireland was most unsatisfactory, and he
did not think they would escape a revolution if Mr.
Bright's land scheme were carried on as well as the
disestablishment of the Irish Church.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The Government Bankruptcy Bill is another mea-
sure of centralisation. As amended, it abolishes the
country district courts of bankruptcy, and makes
certain alterations in the law by which business may
be conducted in the metropolis. The paid trustee ap-
pointed by the creditors need not himself be a cre-
ditor. The power of the trustee to disclaim onerous
property, unprofitable contracts, unmarketable
shares, is not to be lost by the trustee's taking pos-
session of the property, exercising any act of owner-
ship, or endeavouring to sell it. In regard to
the status of the undischarged bankrupt, whom
the original bill left liable to have his old
debts enforced against him after five years from
the close of the bankruptcy unless he had paid a 108.
dividend, the bill, as now amended, proposes that
any debt proved in the bankruptcy shall be
deemed to be a subsisting judgment debt, and,
subject to the rights of new creditors, may be
enforced against the property of the debtor, but only
with the sanction of the court, and to the extent and
in the manner directed by the court. No judge,
registrar, &c., is to sit in the House of Commons.
The clause protecting bond fide dealings with a
bankrupt before notice of an act of bankruptcy is
remodelled. The clauses authorising liquidation by
arrangement are now to apply where liquidation is
consented to by a majority of the creditors in num-
ber, and three-fourths (not five-sixths) in value.

THE HEBREW CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE.

The annual meeting of the Hebrew Christian Alliance
was interesting this year, on account of correspondence
concerning the conversion of the Jews which has appeared
in some newspapers. The president was the Rev. C.
Schwartz, D.D. Letters of apology fornon-attendance were
read from the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of
London, the Earl of Shaftesbury, K. G. , &c. The chairman,
in addressing the meeting, said he could not refrain from
alluding to the correspondence which has appeared with
reference to the society, and characterised the letter
of a vicar of the Church of England as a disgrace and
a shame to the Church ; for, instead of each converted
Jew costing, as had been said, £lO,OOO, the society
had, within the last twelve months, been the
means of the conversion of more than seventy Jews.
The secretary read the report, which states that the
objects of the Alliance are-Ist, to promote the union of
Hebrew Christians ; 2nd, to give testimony of the faith
towards their unconverted Jewish brethren ; and, 3rd, to
spread the Gospel by publishing various books, and in
giving temporal assistance to Jews. The report also com-
ments upon the different undertakings for the past year,
and expresses the thankfulness of the Alliance fur the de-
liverance of the Abyssinian captives. Upon the motion
of the Rev. W. L. Rosenthal, seconded by the Rev. J. J.
Steintz, the report was adopted, with an expression of
thankfulness to Almighty God for the success which has
attended the society's efforts. The meeting was after-
wards addressed by the Revs. 11. A. Stern, L. Herschel],
G. W. Pierritz, and other gentlemen.

THE BAND OF DOPE UNION.
The conferences of the Band of Hope Union, on Tues-
day, were closed by a large meeting held in Exeter Hall.
The chairman was Mr. Lucas Shadwell, J.P., who was
supported by Mr. Charles Reed, M.P., the Rev. Newman
Hall, and others. A pleasing feature in the gathering
was the attendance of between six and seven hundred
members of metropolitan Lands of Hope, who
rendered several sacred and temperance melodies.
The Rev. G. W. McCree presented a condensed statement
of the work done in 1868, with total subscriptions less than
£7OO. The total receipts of the year amounted to
£1,585 Ss. 2d., and there was a balance in hand of
£lO5 3s. 7d., this balance including the sum of £lO4 15s. 6d.
to account of Prize Tale Fund. Lectures had been delivered
throughout the country, dissolving views exhibited, and
bands organised in various districts.

SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

DUBLIN, Tacsclay Evening.

At 2 o'clock this morning a serious collision oc-
curred in the Channel, about ten miles from Bel-
fast, between the Marquis of Abet corn, which left
Dublin. at 5 p.m. yesterday with a large cargo for
Glasgow, and the Lord Gough, which sailed about
the same hour from Glasgow for this port. The
Marquis of Abercorn was struck near her paddle
boxes, and in less than one hour she began to sink.
As the water rose in the vessel the boilers burst,
and the cattle, wh:ch formed a great part of the
cargo, were thrown into the sea. A frightful scene
of confusion took lilac:, but happily the crew and
passengers were all saved. Both vessels belong to
the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Comrany.

GERMANY AND HOLLAND.

The Patric states that Prussia, acting on behalf of the
North German Confederation, has entered upon negotia-
tions with the Dutch Government for the cession of the
Banda Islands. These are situated in the Great Archi-
pelago of the Indian Ocean, and have been deemed
favourable by the Prussian naval authorities for the esta-
blishment of a station to protect the rapidly-increasing
commerce of the Confederation.
BAVARIAN ELECTIONS.

The elections in Bavaria are conducted on the "indi-
rect" principle; the voters nominate direct electors, and
these choose the members of the Chamber of Deputies.
The first and primary process has jnst been completed, and
the result is a great triumph for the Liberal parties. At

THE CONSERVATIVES AT DEEEY.

On Friday Mr. Cox, of Spondon Ball, near Derby,
was entertained at a grand banquet in that town.
The Conservative electors of Derby presented him
with a testimonial forhis services as their member for
three years. Mr. Cox made an appropriate speech, in
which he said that he had committed political suicide
in assisting to pass the Reform Bill, but he did not
repent the course he had taken, as he believed it to
be a wise and just measure. lle trusted that good
might come out of evil, but he had his forebodings
about the spoliation of the Irish Church. The con-
dition of Ireland was most unsatisfactory, and he
did not think they would escape a revolution if Mr.
Bright's land scheme were carried on as well as the
disestablishment of the Irish Church.

THE DEANS.

The Dean of Carlisle gives his version of the recent
meeting of Deans. Dr. Close says that—
" So far from any attempt on the part of the Deans to
resist the reforms proposed by the two Archbishops, while
qualifying observativos were made by some—a resolution
was passed, if not unanimously, certainly nem. con., that
reformatory measures of some sort were both necessary
and expedient ; and for the purpose of making some
definite propositions. After further inquiry, and response
in writing from all the Deans, an open committee (as you
state) was formed, and has actually commenced opera-
tions with a view to adopt some suitable reformatory
measures."

Dean Close adds his personal conviction that if the
proposition for reducing the staff of canons in each
cathedral to two, and compelling constant residence,
had been put to the meeting, it would have been
carried by a large majority. But it was unanimously
agreed that further investigation and consideration
were preferable before any definite measure should
be adopted. lie trusts that this incident will dis-
prove the accusation that the bishops will make no
s&Titice -for the benefit of the Church, for if the
above plan were carried out, " half the episcopal
patronage in each cathedral would.be lost to them."
In other words, the bishops surrender the right to
appoint a friend to -a canonry, in order that they
may retain their own incomes of from £5,000 to
£lO,OOO a year with all their diocesan patronage.

A ruisT PIIEFERIIENT.

Archbishop Tait has conferred the Arch iienr,n7lry
Df Canterbury, vacant by the death of the late.
Archdeacon Croft, upon the Rev. Edward Parry,.
rector of Acton, Middlesex. Mr. Parry was educated
at Rugby School and Balliol College, Oxford, and
obtained a first class in classics in 1852. He was
tutor of Durham University from 1853 to 1856.
During 1856 Mr. Parry held the curacy of Sonning,
Berks (under the Rev. Hugh Pearson) and on the
elevation of Dr. Tait to the see of London, at the
close of that year, became his domestic chaplain, re-
siding with, and working actively at his lordship's
side for three years. For the ten years which fol-
lowed Mr. Parry has taken an active part in all
London diocesan matters, and assisted in the large
ordination examinations at Fulham Palace. Mr.

THE DEATH OF MOLIQL'E.

Everyone will regret to hear of the death of Herr
Molique, the composer. Ile was born at Nurnberg,
in 1803, and was the son of the Stadtmusikus in that
city. He soon learnt all that his father could teach
him, and by the time that he was 13 shewed such a
preference for the violin that his education. was
devoted entirely to the study of that instrument.
Ilewc n t to Munich where King Maximilian took much
interest in him, and before he had emerged from boy-
hood he took a place in the orchestra at one of the
Vienna theatres. Thence he went to Stutt-
gart ; thence be came to London in 1849.
In our capital he obtained a considerable reputation.
One of the most exquisite songs ever written,
" Could I through tether 11y," we owe to him. His
more important works are a Mass in 13 minor, and
an oratorio entitled " Abraham." This last work
was produced at the Norwich Festival in 1860, but
never became popular. It was the intense labour
attendant upon the writing of this oratorio, amidst
many other occupations, that undermined a consti-
tution previously robust enough. Molique gradually
became unfit for work, and at length, some two
Years since, he retired to his native land, there
to breathe away in peace what remained to him
of life.
TILE GUANO ISLANDS.

The guano on the Chincha Islands is nearly
exhaustel In a few months these islands will be
deserted, and then all the ships now engaged in the
trade will make for the Guanape Islands, five degrees
south of the equator. There is a supply of guano at
Baker's Island, in the Hawaiian group, estimated at
from 9:-)0,C00 to 200,000 tons, and worked by the
United States. It is, perhaps, not generally known
that there is also a small deposit on some of the
islands off the north-west coast of Norway. Pro-
bably by the time all the deposits are exhausted we
shall have come to the conclusion that it is wiser to
use the manure at our own doors than to transport,
at-an immense expense, manure from the other side
of the world.
THE WESTMORELAND SERVANTS' HIRING nun.

A writer in the Tinws gives an interesting account
of the Westmoreland Servants' Hiring Fair, held
annually during Whitsuntide, at Kendal, the chief
market town of the county. On White Saturday lads
and lasses pour in crowds into the town from all
parts of the county, and take up their
position by the market-place, exhibiting them-
selves as for hire. The masters come to town
also, and going in and out in the dense crowd, pick
out those who are strong enough and reasonable
enough in their demands. The two parties to the
contract then adjourn to a stone in the midst
of the place and ratify their agreement.
No characters are asked for or given ; little
inquiry is made on either side. After the hiring, Sun-
day, Monday, and the following days are considered
a holiday. During the daytime shops are visited,
walks are made, beer is drunk, shows and the lions of
the place are seen. Then follows dancing in the
upper rooms of the low public-houses. The demo-
ralising effect of the fairs, the vice that prevails, has
often been commented upon. Is there no way of
suppressing them P

SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Evening.

At 2 o'clock this morning a serious collision oc-
curred in the Channel, about ten miles from Bel-
fast, between the Marquis of Abet corn, which left
Dublin at 5 p.m. yesterday with a large cargo for
Glasgow, and the Lord Gough, which sailed about
the same hour from Glasgow for this port. The
Marquis of Abercorn was struck near her paddle
boxes, and in less than one hour she began to sink.
As the water rose in the vessel the boilers burst,
and the cattle, which formed a great part of the
cargo, were thrown into the sea. A frightful scene
of confusion took place, but happily the crew and
passengers were all saved. Bo!li vessels belong to
the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Company.
