THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The passage of the Irish Church Bill has not pro-
pitiated the Daily News; and a propos of the Scotch
Education Bill our contemporary continues its criti-
cisms on the Upper House. Lord Salisbury, it points
out, claims for the Peers the function of revision. But
he practically leads the House to take more. They
want at the beginning of the session to have measures
before them which they adjust and then send down
for the national representatives to revise. They thus
act without knowing officially the will of the country.
It is not right, the Daily News thinks, that they
should do so. The House of Commons should
initiate legislation. Under present circum-
stances it is especially essential that the Lower
House should retain its proper functions. A Liberal
Government is in power, and has the cordial
support of an overwhelming majority in the Repre-
sentative Chamber. It finds itself opposed by a
majority absolutely but little less, and relatively
greater, in the House of Peers. Ministers are
powerless in the Lords. The measures which they
introduce cease to be their own as soon as the stage
of committee is reached. Seeing that the House has
refused to pass any reforms -without great majorities
in the Commons, it is impossible to give them
bills without any manifestation of the opinion of the
Lower House upon them. They have so mangled
the Scotch Education Bill, for instance, that the
Government cannot recognise it; and it now stands
totally opposed to the opinions of Scotch members.

T HAIIES.

John Anderson, a beer-seller, keeping an ale and boer_
house, St. George-in-the-East, was charged by Inspector
Rouse, of the K division, with violating the conditions by
supplying malt liquors to customers during the hours on
Sunday, the 4th instant.

Mr. Pelham, solicitor, on the part of the defendant,
pleaded guilty, and said the offence was committed
through a mistake. The door was loft open accidentally,
and people entered the house at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock,
against the will of the defendant.

Inspector Rouse said the defendant had been convicted
a great many times for violating law ; there were two con-
victions of £3 each against him and several of 205., 30s .
and 40s.

Mr. Paget fined the defendant 205., which was paid.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

STATESMEN HANDLING NEW ZEALAND.

The two debates in Parliament on New Zealand
affairs have not been sufficient for the Right Hon. Sir
C. B. Adderley. He writes to protest against the
Bishop of Lichfield's theory that because the Im-
perial Government made the first contract with the
Maories, therefore the taxpayers of England
must make it good. Surely it does not
follow that a bargain made in the interest
of the whole Empire should be supported only by
people in this part of the Empire. The Bishop's
argument, in the opinion of the ex-Cabinet Minister,
amounts to the conclusion that Crown colonies must
be guaranteed against all errors of the Government,
the consequences of which must be borne by us at
home. Sir Charles observes that New Zealand can
now readily afford to pay for a few regular troops,
if necessary, at half the cost price.

TREASURE TROVE.
A short time ago a great robbery was perpetrated
at the Ocean Bank at New York, and property to the
value of a quarter of a million of dollars wap
abstracted. Some 20,000 dollars worth has been re-
covered in New York, and, strange to say, another sum
has been found in England. Ten days ago an un-
knOwn person deliberately threw himself before a train
at Crewe, and was killed. Certain paper securities
were found upon him, and it now transpires that
these were stolen from the Ocean Bank.

DR. PUSEY ON UNIVERSITY TESTS.

Dr. Pusey writes to the Guardian to explain that
his counter proposal to the Solicitor-General's
University Tests Bill is not a " proposed surrender
of half the colleges." The Christ Church divine
says that what ho does propose to surrender is
income which is at present wasted. It is well known
that certain fellowships are simply a sinecure
endowment of students who have obtained a
good class, and who go away without doing anything
for the colleges to which they are elected. Nothing;
could be lost by giving up these sinecures. "Accept-
ing then, as a fact, that, since the Church of England
had lost so many of her people, it is virtually settled
that she shall forfeit a proportion of her endowment,
I was willing to accept denominational endowments.'
I was willing to ' surrender : not half the colleges,'
but whatever portion of their income it might seem
right to the Legislature to take, with the view of
retaining the colleges themselves as places of edu-
cation for the laity or future clergy of the Church
of England."
Dr. Pusey believes that the English Dissenters
will get nothing by the Solicitor-General's bill,
which proposes to allow the Heads of thirteen col-
leges and all Fellows who are not to he in holy orders
to be of any religion. " Since there is more of that
talent for which a person would be likely to be
elected a Head or Fellow among persons whose
belief is undistinguishable, except in name, from
Deism, than there is among the religious
Dissenters, those which aro ordinarily spoken
of Dissenting bodies' would profit, I believe,
next to nothing, while a large proportion of our
heads, Fellows, or Tutors might be unbelievers." All
1)r. Pusey wants is to see the young men of England
educated by Christian instructors—not Deists and the
like. On this account he thinks the Wesleyans acted
very unwisely in rejecting the offer lie made last
year. Is the Doctor sure that lie is not begging the
question, by assuming that there is more of the
talent which wins Fellowships amongst unbelievers
than Dissenters ?

PILATE AND HEROD.

The Adver 11,3er has found another remarkable
combination in the Premier. Ile is Pilate and
Herod. The other day he laid the first stone of a
new Ritualist Church in Soho ; he regularly attends
the high service of All Saints, Margaret-street; and
generally he has a liking for music and colour in the
services and temples of God. Pilate or Herod here—
we don't know which, but that it is one or the other
is very plain. Mr. Gladstone, moreover, has writteu
in defence of " Ecce ITomo," has shewn a disposition
to favour rationalism, and lies offered a deanf-ry to
Dr. Temple, one of the essayists and reviewers.
This is clearly enough Tiered or Pilate, one or the
other ; though here also the Advertiser is not explicit
in saying which. Mr. Gladstone, moreover—this is
the culminating point in the indictment against the
Premier, it is here Herod and Pilate together appear—
has laid down a rule for his new appointments. "Merit,
talent (he says) shall be the test. Let a man skew
ability, earnestness,' and a disposition to do work,and
he shall have favour in the eyes of the Premier."
These, let it to be understood, are the very words of
the Advertiser. To put its charge into common
language, what our contemporary thinks so shocking
is that Mr. Gladstone does not require in every man
whom he advances thathe should see "eye to eye" with
the editor of the Advertiser in all theological matters.

not to be seriously undertaken, there can be little

existing between France and England. As the

THE LIBERALS OF HASTINGS.

A Liberal demonstration has been made at Has-

Lea to find, ile_itzength_yrhich the_Libmi.caus.

possessed in Hastings. lie felt the greatest conn-
dence in Mr. Gladstone as Prime Minister, end he
had never had less doubt about the way he should
vote in Parliament. Mr. Brassey declared that Mr.
Gladstone had performed his difficult work of ren-
dering justice to Ireland in a manner that sur-
passed all expectation. He considered that the
Premier was now at the age when he was
rich in experience without having lost the vigour of
his manhood. Lord E. Cavendish, in proposing
" Her Majesty's Ministers," dwelt upon the triumph
they had achieved in the Irish Church Bill. Mr.
Knatchbull-Hugessen responded, and declared that
Mr. Gladstone did not regard the passing of that
measure in the light of a party victory, but with
thankfulness to Providence that the question had
been brought to an issue. The Premier was over-
come with the work of the session, but he was now,
happily, recovering.

WORK FOR NEXT SESSION.

Several important subjects are already entered on the
notice paper of the House of Commons to be taken into
consideration next session. Mr. Donald Dalrymple, the
member for Bute, intends to move a resolution "that
it is desirable to legislate for the proper reception,
detention, and management of habitual drunkards." Dir.
Cross (South-West Lancashire) will call the attention 0f
the House to the subject of Church patronage, and to the
necessity for the removal of certain disabilities affecting
patrons, incumbents, and parishioners; and at the same
time ho will ask leave to bring in a bill dealing with
the question. Mr. J. D. Lewis has given notice
that he purposes introducing a bill to remove such die•
abilities as affect the clergy of any existing established
Church or religious denomination in the -United King•
dom. The religious question is also to be takeo
up by Viscount Sandon, who will move t°
bring in a bill to prevent the introduction
changes in the! accustomed mode of conducting divine
worship in parish churches without the assent of parish'
ioners, and of the bishop of the diocese, or the archbishoP
of the province. Mr. Birleyis thinking of calling attention
to the commercial treaty with France, and of moving tore
a committee to inquire into the operation of the tariff
upon British commerce and manufactures.

PRINCESS LOUISE AT VENTNOR.

Our Princesses are coming somewhat into public
life. Princess Christian recently distributed the
prizes to the Wimbledon prizemcn, and will shortly
perform the same office for one of the metropolitan
volunteer corps. Princess Louise, on Wednesday, laid
the foundation-stone of a pair of buildings about to bo
erected at Ventnor for the National Cottage Con-
sumption Hospital. There was the usual ceremony.
The town kept holiday, royal salutes were fired,
addresses were presented and answered, the stone
was laid with the usual formalities, trees were
planted, and purses laid before her Royal Highness.

MR. VOYSEY'S DEFENCE.

The Rev. Charles Voysey writes to a Scotch con-
temporary with reference to the views which he
enunciates in his work, "The Sling and Stone," a
book for which he is under prosecution. He corrects
a mistake frequently made that his production is
based upon learned criticism. He says he has
assailed several critical points in the Bible
on the ground of common sense alone, and by
appeals to the consciences of his fellow-men. " Years
ago," he continues, "I foresaw that the great work of
removing popular superstitions could never be clone
by the scholars and critics alone, because half the
mass of unlearned people in this country could not
understand Biblical criticism, and the other half
could not connect it, even if understood, with their
own traditional beliefs. The great blttle would
have to be fought on moral ground, by
appeals to common sense and moral instinct."
There is one issue, he declares, which is in danger of
being overlooked in the airciety to maintain existing
institutions. "It is quite possible that my views
may be, after all, true, and the traditional views
false. Now, if the Church of England should expel
me without reference to the truth or falsehood of
my opinions, what kind of future would she be pre-

THE DUNKELD TOLL-DAIL

We called attentjon a clay or two back to the fact
that the attacks on the Dun!zeld toll-bar were
this year being renewed. At the time we suggested
that at once the local authorities should take action
and very severely punish the rioters. It seems,
however, that last year did not teach the police that
to overlook such ebullitions of popular indignation
against turnpikes is in effect to encourage illegality. We
are now again informed by the Dundee papers that
" the Dunkeld disciples of Rebecca have taken up
their testimony against pontages in a very emphatic
way, a large mob having assembled, under the leader-
ship of a local man of mark, and smashed the ob-
noxious barriers with sledge hammers, leaving free
passage for the lieges and their vehicles." Will any
action be taken in this case ?

THE PATENT LAW.

Mr. Made, the member for Leith, endeavours to
keep the discussion of patents alive. He says, in
a letter to the Daily Vets, that patents make manu-
factures dear; that foreign competition is able to
get the better of us on account of them ; that
Switzerland has found no patent laws an advantage ;
and that the present system is one opposed
to Free Trade. To which arguments the Daily News
answers that patentees make production cheaper, or
the patents would be useless ; that there is only one
fair way of rewarding an inventor, by giving him a
monopoly; that foreign competition is next door to
nothing ; that Switzerland has sent all her inventors
away from her; and that Mr. Macfie's theory of
free trade would lead more and more to the omni-
potence of the money-bag.

COALHOUSE FORT.

Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to Capt. Beaumont, said it
had been decided to mount the guns forming the arma-
ment of Coalhouse Fort on the Moncrieff gun carriages.

THE MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said he regret-
ted it would not be possible for the Government to con-
fer any special powers on the agent proceeding on the part
of the bondholders to the Mexican Government. The
Government, however, without interfering, felt the just-
ness of the claims of the bondholders, and it would give
great pleasure to hear that those claims had boon fully re-
cognised and liquidated.
ADMIRALTY CONTRACTORS.

BAXTER, in reply to Sir J. Hay, said he must
decline to lay on the table a list of names of the contrac-
tors with the Admiralty, the contracts in force, or the
penalties that had been paid for non fulfilment. Such a
return would ba highly objectionable, and prejudicial to
tho public service.
ALTERATIONS IN THE HOUSE.

Mr. LA.YARD said he hoped before the close of the ses-
sion to st.►te the alterations that it was proposed to make
in the house, as the matter with respect to the dining-
rooms had been settled with the Lords. He also hoped to
be able to improve the ventilation of that part of the
building used by. the representatives of the press.
TILE ARMY IN JAPAN.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Colonel NORTH brought under the consideration of
the house the presant position of the offi•zers of the army
stationed in Japan as to pay and allowances ; and asked
what grounds the Lord 3 of the Treasury had refused to
carry out the recommendations of the Secretary of State
for War and of his Royal Highness the Field Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief, that the rates allowed for Japan
should be assimilated to those granted in China.
Mr. STANSFELD said, in reply, that the increased
pay given to the troops in Hong Kong was granted solely
on account of the trying nature of the climate, as com-
pared with that of Japan.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions, it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

CURRAGII RACES

Mr. FORTESCUE, in reply to Mr. Stacpole, said he
had nc power to alter or order Her Majesty's Plate to be
run for at Ennis instead of the Curragh of Kildare.
The matter was wholly under the direction of the Master
of the Horse.
THE CORONATION OATH.

Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Attorney-General
whether it be the fact that by reason of the late repeal of
the Legislative Union of the Churches of England and
Ireland the statutory form of the Coronation Oath, so far
as it related to the United Church of England and Ireland
was virtually repealed ; aad if so, whether it be intended
to submit to Parliament any measure whereby a now form
of oath may be substituted for the same.
The AT rOIINEY-GENEHAL said ho had to say, in
answer to the question of the hon. member, that the
words of the oath to be taken at the Coronation were not
prescribed by any act of Parliament. There were two
acts of Parliament that made reference to the matter, but
prescribed no form ; the latter, the sth of Queen Ann, re-
lative to the altered state of affairs by the union of Eng-
land and Scotland. On the accession of George IV. some
further alteration was made in accordance with the
recommendation of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury on the union of the two churches of Eng-
land and Ireland. On the accession of the pre-
sent Sovereign the nature of the Coronation Oath
was again considered by the Privy Council, and altera-
tions made to meet the altered circumstances of the coun-
try. Therefore if the Privy Council had power to change
the oath to meet the case of the two Churches, it appeared
to him to possess the power to alter it again to meet the
case of a separation of those two Churches. No Act of
Parliament was necessary to effect a change, and there-
fore it was not the intention of the Government to in-
troduce any bill on the subject.

THE IRISH RAILWAYS.

The movement in favour of the purchase of the
Irish railways by the State makes progress. The
committee of Irish peers and members of the Lower
House have adopted a report, in which they strongly
recommend that a measure be brought in next ses-
sion enabling the Government to take the railways
on the basis of the Irish Railway Commission's
second report. They believe, however, that the
Exchequer must be guaranteed against loss by this
acquisition, and they therefore conclude that the
Irish people ought to make good any deficiency if
the lines will not pay their way under a system of
reduced fares and better accommodation.
