Yesterday being the festival of the Immaculate
Conception, the town was illuminated in the
evening.

A baud; numbering about 1,000 or 1,500 per-
sons, traversed the Et cce ts sh9uting out against the
illuminations, singing the Marsellaise," and
oreaking the gas-lamps in front of the Bishop's
palace, and the hotel of the Prefect.
Upwards of sixty arrests were made.

PRESSMEN AND TIIE MAGISTRACY.

The idea that journalists and newspaper proprietors
would quietly consent to he excluded from the
magistracy has turned out altogether a delusive one.
The Lord Chancellor, if he thought they
would tamely Ellbllli t, has by this time dis-
covered his mistake. He has already been memo-
rialised on the subject; several local bodies have
condemned his exclusive policy ; and he has just had
a deputation to protest against it. Lord Hatherley,
however, was by no means ready to confesshimself in
the wrong, and he returned the usual reply, that be
" would take the matter into his careful conside-
ration."

TURKEY AND EGYPT.

The dispute between the Sultan and the Khedive
is settled for the present. The latter had outrun his
authority in many respects; the Sultan demanded
that he should regard himself in practice, as well as
in theory, the vassal of the Porte. The Khedive
accepts
terms imposed by his liege-lord, and will

FOREIGN NOTES.

SPAN,

In the Cpanisn U rtes, Senor Martos, the Minister of
State, has just made some observaticns with respect to th:
(Ecumenical Council. Ire said that if the Council
came to any decisions that were contrary to
the principles of the Spanish Constitution of
180, the Government would oppose them with all its
force. The Government had telegraphed the substance
of this to Rome, because it required all Spaniards without
any (listinetion to respect the Constitution. The majority
of the Cortos seem to have as mocha reluctance to offer the
crown to the Duke of Genoa as the Duchess of Genoa has
to permit him to accept it. The state of hrertitude con.

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,

the balk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of

THE ORANGE REPUBLIC.

The speech of Mr. W. Johnstone, M.P., at the
Molesworth Hall Orange meeting, was even more
savage than the telegraphic reports represented it.
Mr. Johnstone said that both Liberals and Conserva-
tives hated the Orangemen, and that the only course
for the latter was to form an independent party.
Little sympathy as he had for the Fenians, he
would prefer them, he said, to Cardinal Cullen and
the Ultramontanes. The declaration of religious
equality can have no effect, we are informed, on the
moral and intellectual ascendancy of the Orangemen;
and, judging by these proceedings at Molesworth
Hall, it would seem not. It is not easy to tell
exactly what Mr. Johnstone wants at this crisis;
but the following sentence throws a little light on
this mystery :

I think it is high time that we should tell the Govern-
ment and the English people that, if there is to be a fight,
or an an attempt to set up a Fenian Republie, the Orange-
men will stand aside, and will protect themselves, main-
tain their Protestant religion, and protect their homes and
hearths, and let the English Government and the Fenian
fight it cut between them.

Orangedom, then, is to be a sort of paradise in the
midst of Irish purgatory--an Orange Republic, in
fact.

UNIVERSITY TESTS.

The supporters of University Tests are waking up
to the necessities of their position. The Conserva-
tives of Cambridge are taking steps towards the organi-
sation of a counter demonstration to those which have
attracted so much attention at both universities.
It is to be held at St. John's College on the 29th
inst. A protest is being signed amongst the Follows
and ex-Fellows of the colleges, and the Professors
of the University. It sets forth that, in
the opinion of th© protestants, the abolition of
religious tests in the University and colleges, either
by a permissive enactment of the Legislature or by
an Act of Parliament superseding the provisions of
existing statutes, will seriously imperil the Christian
character of the University and colleges, and their
efficiency as places of religious education. The
signers of the protest therefore " earnestly deprecate
any legislation by which the government and teach-
ing of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or
of the colleges in the same, may be transferred alto-
gether or in part into the hands of persons who are
not members of the Established Church." It is said
that the protest has already been extensively
signed.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

Assistant-Commissary-General Ross, who writes in
favour of telegraphic communication with Australia,
considers the progress of the Australasian colonies to
exceed in rapidity even the growth of the
United States. The industry and energy of the
settlers on the great Southern continent can
be nowhere surpassed. The total value of
their exports and imports now amount to more than
one-eighth of the gigantic British trade—a remark-
able result, considerin the distance of the
colonies from civilised centres and their small popula-
tion. The number of inhabitants in New South
Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia,
Tasmania, and New Zealand, amounted alto-
ether in 1867 to only 1,700,000. These
settlers, a handful compared with the territory they
inhabit, cultivate two million acres of land with corn
crops, and hold 320 millions as pasture. Their live
stock numbers over M millions. General Ross
believes that the Australian colonies afford one of
the finest fields in the world for emigration. Tho
great obstacle at present is the distance. There
seems no way to overcome this difficulty except by
transporting settlers free.

awarded to Miss Alice Ellis, Miss Emily Slous, and
Miss Amy Messenger ; and besides these, nineteen

ANOTHEIt 'WORKHOUSE.

All guardians are not like the brawlers of St. Pancras;
some boards look upon themselves as guardians, not so
exclusively of the ratepayers, as of the poor. Those
of Paddington, for instance, made it their duty a few
days since to inquire into the state of their work-
house. They heard that some of the bed-ridden sick
had to wear their linen for three weeks, until it be-
came most foul and unwholesome. They were told
that sometimes the casuals would have their clothes
taken from them, and would, while naked, huddle
together in their ward for warmth waiting for their
new dress. The male nurse often came on duty
beastly drunk, and a spirit of negligence seems to
have prevailed throughout the house. The guardians
dismissed the officer who had been the cause of the
unsatisfactory state of things. In how many houses
would inquiry reveal the same disorder ?

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
vie short exchange on London is 251. 15c. per £1 sterling

gold at the above price is slightly ,dearer in Paris than in

BRADFORD AND CHINA.

The manufacturers of Bradford, through their
Chamber of Commerce, are demanding from the
Government that they shall insist upon the Chinese
carrying out the provisions of their treaty with us.
The Chinese (the Chamber complains) are very
lax in doing their international duty; if they can
avoid carrying out their part towards us
they will, and will take our acquiesence
in their laxity as weakness. It is obviously unfair
that England should give to China and obtain no
return. The Bradford Chamber of Commerce
wish it to be distinctly understood that they
desire nothing more than moral suasion; the
members protest against the idea that they
would desire a war. They believe that a gentle
hint from Lord Clarendon to the Pekin Government
would produce an immediate effect.
London, England, 1869-12-10

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, Dec. 9.—Great quietness pervades the
wool market to-day. The dark foggy weather is un-
favourable to the sale of wool, and, in consequence
of this, Messrs. G. and W. Townsend, wool brokers,
have postponed their monthly sale of English wool.
The demand during the week has been confined
to very choice sorts, including lustre, demi-lustre,
and Irish, and the operations, very limited in
character, have been for the purpose of assorting
stocks and covering pressing requirements. There is
no disposition on the part of staplers to press sales.
Stocks are low and prices are generally very firmly
maiuteined. Medium sorts of wool have been in
rather better request. There is a fair business
doing in mohair yarns, and spinners are well em-
ployed. Prices in all classes of yarns are gene-
rally well maintained. Where stocks are held a
slight concession will be made. There is no change
to report in the piece trade. There i 3 only a
limited business done. Prices are steady.

A NEW FRENCII MINISTRY.

Once more we hear that the present Ministry in
France, which has been so long tottering, is going at
last. M. Emile 011ivier, who has long been the man
of the situation, preserves his supremacy in spite of
some very suspicious manccuvres. He has alienated
some friends, but he has gained others. He has now
made up a party of various elements, which amount
altogether to one half of the Chamber, and a
Liberal programme has been put forward. Tho
correspondent of the Telegraph says that M. 011ivier
will be in power within four days, perhaps sooner.
M. 011ivier's shufliings between Liberal and Imperial
ideas have caused general distrust, but there is no one
else to whom the country can look.

A LADY FENIAN.

The Dowager Marchioness of Queensberry may be
considered the leader of the Fenians amongst the
gentle sex. She has just sent £lO towards the
expenses of Martin, the Fenian candidate.for Long-
ford, accompanying this gift with £lO more for Mrs.
Luby, the wife of another Fenian. Nor is this
good lady sparing in her enthusiasm, for in the letter
she says : "It will be a blessing for Ireland indeed if
Mr. Martin be returned ; and if women are called to
the work, how gladly would I work night and day to
ensure his return, were I now in Ireland. Oh that
everyone who loves Ireland may go to work and Tote
for John Martin, the true friend of Ireland, and
organise for him a glorious victory !" It will be
remembered that this Dowager Marchioness of
Queensberry wrote a letter sympathising with the
Manchester Fenians—Allen, Larkin, and Gould.

'TIM FIGHT AT LYNN.

The hardly-contested battle for the seat left vacant
by Lord Stanley's elevation has been awarded, by
official declaration to Lord Claud Hamilton. The
contest throughout the day was very severe. Mr.
Young had a majority of 200 at nine in the morning,
but it never attained that figure during the
remainder "of the day. At eleven o'clock the Con-
servatives admitted that they were in a minority of
50, At noon Lord Claud's supporters claimed to have
greatly changed the aspect of affairs through the un-
tiring efforts which they put forth. Thus the Con-
servative noon return wa3 as follows :—Young, 800 ;
Hamilton, 857. At one p.m. the Conservatives
put forth an absolute majority for Lord C. Hamilton,
their statement for that hour being :—Hamilton,
932; Young, 020. When the poll closed, both sides
claimed the victory ; but the official award gives
Lord Claud Hamilton 1:031 votes, and Mr. Young
1,032.

THE .kIICITTIISHOP OF VIEN'NA.

The New Frei, Tr.sse, an Austrian journal, attacks the
pastoral lett lr of the Archbishop of Vienna. Cardinal
Rauscher attributes the opposition to the ecumenical
Council to the apprehension with which the enemies of
Catholicism see the bishops of the Catholic world
gatherel round the rope. "In what unaccount•
able self-delusion," exclaims the Preve, "do these
princes of the Church live ! They imagine
they have only to meet in Rome to reverse the
course of lime and force civilisation to retrocede eight
centuries." No d )übt, it adds, there would be reason to
tremble before the assembly if it had power to enforce its
will, for the pastoral of the Cardinal is redolent of
fanatical hatred for everything which does not bow
humbly to the Church. A more complete perversion of
historical and scientific facts has never been given to the
public.

FINANCIAL MOVEMENTS IN EGYPT.

Unsatisfactory financial symptoms are said to be mani-
festing themselves in Egypt. The Khedive is understood
to be negotiating for a large issue of Treasury Bonds. It
is believed that a transaction of the kind for
-0,400,000 was recently effected, and a loan of
£300,000 has been concluded with parties in England.
Although so recently as 1863 the Viceroy raised a loan of
£12,000,000 on condition that no further appeal should I e
made for five years, it is affirmed that the floating debt
has since been increased to the extent of six millions ster-
ling—a total which will be enlarged to ten millions if all
the demands lately made are carried out. The Times in
Its money article expresses the opinion that these enor-
mous sums cannot be accounted for by the Suez Canal or
any other such source of expense. The Khedive must be
preparing for eventualities with Turluy.

A NEW AMERICAN LAKE.
A geological surveying expedition, which Lai ben sent
out Ly the Canadian Government, has lately returned
with the news of an important discovery. The
explorers report the existence of a largo lake
some thirty miles to the north of Lake Supa•
rior, connected with it by a broad and rapid
river. This lake, which they have called Nipi-
gon, is studded with islands of different sizes and ele-
vation. They believe it to be larger than Lake Ontario,
but were compelled to suspend researches by the approach
of winter, after they had traversed more than 500 miles of
°oast.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

NONCONFORMIST MARRIAGES.

The Dissenters are actually "asking for more?'
They have only just obtained the right to marry in
their chapels, and to enforce the attendance of the
registrar, and now they demand that the said registrar
shall be altogether withdrawn. It appears that
he does not always conduct himself with
decency and propriety. The other day, at Birming-
ham, the State official brought his register, and occu-
pied himself during the service, the prayers, and the
reading, by filling it up. The minister was so incensed
by this behaviour—the declaration in his eyes
that the State had nothing to do with his religion—
that the efficacy of the proceedings were much
impaired. The rev. gentleman writes to the Daily
News, asking why is the Nonconformist minister to
be humiliated by having a State official thrust upon
him, while the clergyman can marry without his
presence? To which question it may be answered
that a clergyman is himself a State official. But
there is no reason why a registrar should not behave
himself.

THE lIAY3IAIIKET CASE.

Ono officer of the London force has just been
punished for undue exercise of authority. A fortnight
ago, Rosa Burton, keeper of a refreshment house in the
Haymarket, charged an inspector and sergeant with
annoying and unreasonable interference. The house
bore no very good reputation, and the police officers
suspecting, or pretending to suspect, that bad characters
were being harboured there, entered the building at
two in the morning and rambled about the apart-
ments, demanding adminion to Burton's dressing
room. She refused to admit them, and they
remained on the premises until half-past six, after-
wards posting a constable outside. Nothing was
found to justify thi▪ s surveillance. Mr. Tyrwhitt has
just given judgment in the case. lie condemns the
inspector to a fine of £2, on the ground that
his authority had been exceeded. Policemen are
undoubtedly- authorised to enter refreshment houses
whenever they thi▪
nk proper ; but this licence did
not justify the inspector in demanding admission to
Burton's bedroom whilst she was undressing ; nor did it
authorise the two officers to remain all night. The
constable who was posted outside at half-past six
might as well have mounted guard, if necessary, from
the first. Such is Mr. Tyrwhitt's view. The case
is of much importance, and as no practical interpretation
of the Act has been given in this sense before, the
decision of a higher court will be sought. The plain
wording of the Act seems to give the police unlimited
power of entering and inspecting refreshment houses;
but this power must bo used with discretion. Even
the most suspicious characters ought not to be sub-
jected to undue persecution.

A VACANT JUDGESHIP.

Tho death of the Right 'lon. J. E. Walsh places a
valuable judgeship in the gift of the Crown. The
deceased gentleman, who died suddenly in Paris from
diarrhoea, was one of the many lawyers who were
raised to the bench during the recent Derby-
Disraeli Ministries. He was born in 1816,
and was made Irish Master of the Rolls
in 1866. It is scarcely likely that the vacant judge-
ship will be accepted by the present Irish Attorney-
General, Mr. Sullivan, whose presence will be needed
in the House of Commons during the next session
whilst the land question is under discussion. Mr.
Barry, the Solicitor-General, who is without a seat
in Parliament, will probably be chosen to fill the
vacant post.
