STEAM CARRIAGES.

The Times is publishing a correspondence respect-
ing. the use of steam carriages in public thoroughfares.
This kind of vehicle is not permitted to travel through
the streets except between the hours of 10 p.m. and
0 a.m., and must not progress faster than two miles an
hour. A person has to walk sixty yards. in adva:ice,
carrying a rod flag, to caution all people abroad of
approaching danger. Another of the clauses of the
Act prohibits steam from being blown off when the
locomotive is on the road, and then goes on to state
that the carriage shall ;..d instantly stopped at
a signal made by any person in charge of a horse,
More than one writer lifts up his voice against this
" absurd legislation." One gentleman says ha knows
of a steam carriage which is capable of going twenty
miles an hour ; but its use is prevented by " absurd
legislation." These complainants seem to overlook
the principle on which the legislative restrictions
were imposed. The great objection to the use of
steam carriages is, that they cannot be pulled up in a
short space if any danger is to be avoided. It is
possible that the present regulations are excessively
severe ; but it is questionable how far steam carriages
careering through the streets at the rate of twenty
miles an hour would be beneficial.

The prospects of the pheasant season are more
favourable than those of the grouse or partridge.
The Reld thinks the " crop " will be fully up to the
average, albeit in some parts of the country a disease
of a novel character has done a good deal of mischief.
Many birds have been destroyed on the grass lands
by the mowers., owing to the extraordinary thickness
of the grass this season. But some drawbacks there
always must be. On the whole the season will
furnish little ground for complaint.

THE GO VERN3IENT LAND MEASURE.

The Weekly Register announces what the tenour
of the land bill will be :—" One of our daily contem-
poraries has asserted that the ➢linisterial measure
regardin6. the Irish land question has not yet been
definitely settled. In some measure this is true, for
the proposed Act of Parliament has not yet been
drawn out. But when it does appear, the outline of
the bill will be found to make as law what is now
called the custom of Ulster.' " The " custom of
Ulster' means the right of continuous occupancy
and the right of transferring the farm to another."
Freeman's Journal says :
This right of "continuous occupancy" is -what the Irish
tenantry require. Lord Erne allows it on his estates.
Lord Conyngham recognises it on his property. Lord
Abercorn boasts of it as the " rule " of his office and the
birthright of his people. All the Ulster members of Parlia-
ment boast that Ulster, where this right exists, is loyal,
peaceable, prosperous, and happy.

Mr. Turner thought the system of parents paying for their
children should be left untouched. The Rev. Brooke
Lambert proposed a poll tax of sixpence. The
Reverend Canon Norris thought that the voluntary
ought to be amalgamated with the Government system.
A poll tax would tell unfairly, for a rich bachelor would
pay only sixpence, whilst a poor man with a family would
Ise mulcted in several sixoences.

OBITUARY.

The death is announced of Earl St. Maur, the only
son of the Duke of Somerset. lie was horn in 1835,
and had therefore just completed his 34th year. In
July 1863 he was called to the House of Lords by
the title of Baron Seymour, from his father's barony
of that name. The noble lord was unmarried.

Another, peer—Lord Cranstoun--is dead, having
expired at Brighton. The deceased was the tenth
baron in the peerage of Scotland. His brother suc-
ceeds to the peerage.
A vacancy has arisen among the aimmissioners of
Customs by the death of Mr. Ralph William Grey.
The deceased gentleman represented Tynemouth
the Liberal interest from July 1847 till July 1852,
when he was an unsuccessful candidate. He was
elected for Liskeard in March 1854, and held that
seat until August 1859, although at the general
election in the spring of that year he had
a narrow escape from defeat, being only four
votes ahead of Mr. Pole Carew. He had
been private secretary to his Excellency Lord Syden-
ham,Governor-General of Canada, Lord John Russell,
and Lord Palmerston. He was also Secretary to the
Poor-law Board from April 1851 to December 1852,1
and again took that office in May 1850. He was
appointed one of the Commissioners of Customs in
recognition of his faithful services to the Liberal
party.

TIIE SERVICES.

The Army and .11ravy Gazette says the experiments
at Shoeburyness cannot bo considered as decisive in
respect to shells or fuzes. As wo are now going to
take up the old French button muzzle-loading guns,
which our Artillery so much despised for ten years,
our contemporary thinks it may be permitted to one
to hesitate ere ho accepts as final an opinion pro-
nounced by the highest authorities of " to-day.
The Gazette believes that the fiat will shortly
go forth for the disbanding of the Royal Canadian
Rifles and the Cape Mounted Riflemen, both of which
corps will disappear from the Army List at the
commencement of the next financial year.—
It is now finally settled that Lord Napier
of Magdala will succeed Sir William Mans-
field as Commander-in-Chief in India next year.--
The United Service Gazette states that the Emperor
of Austria has conferred upon General the llon. Sir
Edward Oust " the great -gold medal of the
Empire," as a mark of his Majesty's high appre-
ciation of his distinguished merits as a mili-
tary historian.—The medals for the Abyssinian
campaign are now being struck at the Mint.
The design is of no great beauty. It is expected
that the medals will be ready before the expiration of
the year.—The Broad Arrow has heard that the
floating dock sent to Bermuda is found to be so large
and to draw so much water, that it will not go into
the Camber, for which place it was intended.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1869.

Are all these idle auguries of tranquillity for the
nations of the earth, coming to us simultaneously
from so many different directions? From Vienna
arrives the intimation that very shortly there may be
looked for the announcement of a General Disarma-
ment. From Paris we learn at the same moment
that upon the occasion of the last Cabinet Council,
held at St. Cloud, and presided over by the EMPEROR,
the day was at length fixed for the reassembling,
under the new regime, of the Corps Legislatif. The
session is to commence, it is now said, in the middle,
or, at any rate, before the conclusion of November.
And the expectation is that its labours will be inaugu-
rated by an Imperial speech from the throne, in which
NAroLEON 111. will announce to France, and through

THE PROPOSED COINAGE REFORM

In the Economy and Trade Department Mr. Edwin Hill
read a paper on the proposal to charge for mintage for the
sovereign. Previously to the Bank Charter Act of 1344 it
was stated that the Bank could, at its pleasure, either
increase or diminish the value of the currency by simply
increasing or diminishing the issue of Bank notes, subject,
of course, to considerations affecting the interests of the
Bank itself, but to those alone. The principal object of
the Act of 1844 was to establish that discretionary power,
and throw the regulation of the value of the currency
wholly upon the self-acting operations of the free trade in
gold. It was argued that a charge for coinage would offer
an additional impediment to the exportation of coin. The
great importance of keeping the amount of the currency
in the closest practical correspondence with the legiti-
mate wants of the country for the purposes of exchange
by means of the immediate removal of any excess that may
arise, and the immediate supply of any insufficiency was
demonstrated in the paper, which concluded by stating
that so long as tho existing mechanism for correcting ex-
cesses and insufficiencies in the currency was retained, we
ought to refrain from impairing its efficiency, as the_nro-
posed mint charge would do to a large extent.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE.

Another episcopal vacancy is caused by the death
of the Bishop of Carlisle. The right rev. prelate,
who has been in a hopeless state of health for some
time past, died on Friday afternoon at his official
residence, Rose Castle, near Carlisle. The
lion. and Right Rev. Samuel Waldegrave, D.D..
son of the eighth Earl Waldegrave, was born in
1817, and educated at Cheam School and Ballio]
College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. as a double
first-class in 1839. Raving held !..some University
offices and parochial cures, he was nominated to a
canonry of Salisbury Cathedral in 1857, and in 180 C
was consecrated to the see of Carlisle, rendered vacant
by the translation of Dr. Villiers to Vurham. his lord-
slip, who was a moderate evangelical in his religion,opinions, was the author
of "New Testament Millen.
narianism," being a The Bampton Lectures for 1854,"
and several smaller works. The diocese includes
Cumberland, Westmoreland, and parts of North Lan.
cashire ; and the patronage consists of thirty-five
livings. The annual value of the re° is 1.:4,500
There are now four bishoprics to be filled up, viz.,
Winchester, Bath and Wells, Exeter, and Carlisle,
the two former being caused by resignation, and the
two latter by death.

FRANCE AND RO3IE.

Letters from Rome announce that General Menabrea has
sent a despatch to France relative to the recall of the
French troops from Rome. The note in question was received
by the Chevalier Nigra almost simultaneously withthepre-
sentation of a letter of congratulation to the Emperor on
his recovery, from the King of Italy. The royal letter
felicitated the Emperor on the restoration of his health, so
precious to Franco and to Italy, and so necessary to the
peace of the world. Tho diplomatic note urged the neces-
sity of withdrawing the Imperial troops while Italy was
tranquil, and argued that the Papal army was quite suffi-
cient to preserve the Roman States, and that the approaching
council should not only be free from all diplomatic, but from
all military intervention. Tho Chevalier Nigra was directed
to read this note to M. dela Tour d'Auvergne, but he thought
the moment unsuitable and asked for a brief delay before
doing so. The French Emperor, it is observed, has for
some time past shown a manifest unwillingness to reopen
any foreign questions, especially the German question, the
Eastern question, and the Roman question—all formidable
problems with which ho probably feels unable to deal.

SELASSPERE'S RELIGIOUS OPINIONS.

Was Shakspere a Puritan? the Daily News asks, The
question is at least a novel one. Our many-sided drama-
tist, whose universal sympathies gave him points of contact
with all classes and all creeds, has been claimed by all in.
turn. It remained, however, for Mr. Hepworth Dixon to
claim Shakspere for a party which already possesses Mil-
ton, and has been hitherto content with him. But Mn.
Dixon has something to say for his discovery of Shak.
spere's faith. In his most interesting and lively
volume on "Her Majesty's Tower," he tells the story of
one of the noblest Englishmen—Sir John Oldcastle, one
of the earliest martyrs of the Reformation. The monks
not only burned this noble man, but turned his
memory into ridicule, and made his name synonymous
with every vice. When Shakspeare drew the cha.
racter which now bears the name of Falstaff, he
simply breathed life into the monkish caricature of

Oldcastle, and called it by his name. After the play
had been performed, Shakspere seems to have discovered
his error, and to have made reparation. He not only,
changed the name of his buffoon from Oldcastle to Fal-
staff, but he did more. In the epilogue to the Second
Part of " Henry the Fourth " he goes out of his way to
vindicate Oldcastle's name, and to assure the audience
that Falstaff is not Oldcastle—" Oldcastle died a
martyr, and this is not the man." This change
of opinion and this manly avowal of it do
Shakspere immortal honour. Mr. Dixon sees in it some-
thing more than a noble reparation. He reads these
words as a confession of faith. Oldcastle was a martyr in
the eyes of the Puritans—he was a Falstaff in the
estimation of their opponents. The name was a
symbol—the watchword of one party, the byword
of another. Hence Mr. Dixon's comment on
Shakspere's declaration, " Oldcastle died a martyr,"
is, "The man who wrote that confession in the
days of Archbishop Whitgift is a Puritan in faith."
Perhaps the inference is a little too large for the premises
from which it is drawn. Shakspere may not have meant
the words for any confession of faith, but as such repara-
tion as he could render for the injustice he had already
done an honourable name.

THE DOCTRINAL SUIT.

The suit brought by Mr. Sheppard, of trome,
against Mr. Bennett, the vicar of that place, has
advanced another stage. It will be remembered that
Mr. Bennett wrote an article in the third series of
"The Church and the 'World," the High Church-
men's Essays and Reviews, in which article he
stated the doctrine of the Real Presence in the
broadest and most unmistakeable, language. One
expression, indeed, he has been induced by his friends
to recall. This book being published in London, the
Church Association,with Mr. Sheppard for their nomi-
nee, instituted proceedings at Westminster, in order to
compel the Bishop of London to issue a commission
of inquiry by way of ascertaining if there were prima
facie ground for indicting Mr. Bennett for heresy.
The commission, which may be said to have acted
the part of a grand jury, found that there was, and
their report has been forwarded to the Bishop of
Bath and Wells, in whose diocese Mr. Bennett is.
Lord Auckland will by letters of request at once
transfer the case to the Court of Arches, and it
will sooner or later come on for hearing before Sir
Robert Phillimore. So far, we believe, Mr. Bennett
Ins taken no active steps in the suit, and as he has
IPely so vehemently denounced the jurisdiction of
th Privy Council—to which Court of Final Appeal the
prlmoters of the suit will surely, if necessary, to carry it
matters of ritual, he is scarcely likely to recognise
the jurisdiction of that court in matters of doctrine.
Important as the case of Martin v. Mackonochie has
proved, and intense as is the excitement to which it
has given rise, the case of Sheppard v. Bennett
involves far more important issues.

THE ALABAMA CLAIM'S.

With regard to England's recognition of the South as a
belligerent, the Star believes that a definite arrangement
has been made. The question is not to be made one of the
points of reference, but there will be nothing to prevent
its being advanced as an element of the United
States' case in proving our liability to the Alabama
claims. "As the whole of the correspondence is
referred, the point is sure to be taken and discussed."
The Star doubts whether the declaration of the Paris Con-
ference respecting the fitting out of hostile ships in
neutral ports does not involve the Alabama claims, and
whether it would not be better to admit this at once.
Certainly not. The Paris Conference applied the prin-
ciples of international law only to the deeds of Greece.
It is notorious that the Greek Government did openly
support the fitting out of blockade-runners. Nobody,
except a few gentlemen of the Butler type, ever com-
plained that the English Government had done this ; the
charge against us is simply that the negligence of the
Ministry in dealing with the Alabama and other cruisers
renders us liable for their depredations.

tremendous grinding,"' entered the service,
are constrained to spend their time and brains
on copying letters all their lives. They begin
on £lOO a year ; they get £lO added each
year to their salary, and promotion not rewarding
their efforts, they ultimately reach £3OO. This £3OO
a year is paid to an educated gentleman to do work
which ought to be done for £lOO, both the public
and its servants being wronged by the system. The
remedy proposed by " Public Servant" is to divide the
service into two departments, those who are expected
to do copying and such like work forming the one,
and those who work with their brains the other.
Certainly this plan—which is supported by Mr. Mill
and Sir Charles Trevelyan—is more equitable than
the present want of system.

MR. BAINES, 31. P., ON ART.

Leeds is a favoured town in respect of art. Not
only is it notable as having had an excellent exhibi-
tion some time back, but its school is thriving and
appreciated. When it is remembered that " the
northern towns " have long been caricatured as
wanting everything in the way of culture and
refinement, the progress Leeds has made will be
appreciated. Mr. Baines, M.P., spoke at the School
of Art annual meeting, held on Wednesday. Con-
gratulating Leeds on the position it had attained, he
added : " In Germany there was a saying that every
child who could speak ought to be ableto sing, and that
every child who could read ought to.be able to draw ;
and he thought if we could act upon this principle in
Britain we should do an immense amount of good.
We would be able to teach young people in such a
way as would render them infinitely more likely in
after years to come forward as advanced pupils into
our schools of art and much more highly qualified for
bringing about general improvement in the taste of
the community."

WESTMINSTER.

SEIZURE OF COINERS.—A fashionably-dressed man and
his wife, giving the names of Magnus Stone and Melina
Stone, were this morning placed at the bar, charged, at the
instance of the Treasury with coining.
James Brennan said—l was an Inspector of Police,
but I am now employed to seek offenders against
the coin laws. Petween night and nine o'clock this
morning I went with Inspector Humphreys of the
B Division, Inspector Brennan, of the F Division, and
two constables to 69, Page-street, Westminster, where the
prisoners live. Police-constable Morgan, who was in
plain clothes, knocked at the door, and upon its being
opened we all ra❑ up stairs to the first floor, and on enter-
ing the front room we found the male prisoner undressed
coming from the window. I said, "Connell or Stone,
whichever I shall call you, my name is Brennan. I
have had special instructions from the Solicitor
to the Treasury to look after you as a coiner,
and have got a warrant here under the hand
of Mr. Selfe, the magistrate, to search your promises for
counterfeit coins and implements of coining." Inspector
Brennan, my son, then entered the room with this packet
which had been thrown out of window as we entered the
room. I opened it in the presence of the prisoner. It
contains 41 counterfeit coins, and 218 counterfeit shillings.
I told prisoner ho would have to account for the posses-
sion of them. He said, "Oh, dear." I found there plaster
of Paris blocks with the impressions effaced. I found
clamps to hold the moulds for coin while metal is being
poured in in a state of fusion. I found plaster of Paris,
white metal, and everything necessary to carry on the
trade of a coiner. When I gave directions to look for a
galvanic battery, the male prisoner said, "I don't do it
here. I have only been at it 12 or 14 months."
The prisoners wore remanded until Monday next.

SPAIN.

Later calculations give the proportion of Monarchists
returned to the Cortes as 223 ; the Republicans, 75 ; Abso-
lutists, 15 ; and doubtful, 10. The total of these figures
does not,howe v er,make up the whole number tobe returned,
so that the relative position of parties may still be altered
somewhat. But it is now beyond doubt that the Monarch•
ists have gained a decisive majority, suffiAent, with unity,
to decide all matters of importance. The question is,
will this unity be always maintained? The Standard
is apprehensive. " The great majority in the Constituent
Cortes will be pledged to the continuance of the monarchy.
All we fear is that their union will go no further. The
Monarchical party proper, which desires to see Spain ruled
by a constitutional king, has coalesced with a Democratic
party, which differs only from the Republicans in that
it prefers to have a dummy called a king at
the head of affairs to a reality called a president. The
coalition ha 3 won the victory ; but what if a contest
should arise for supremacy, that is to say, as to the
prerogatives of the new sovereign, within its bosom,
and the Democrats call the Republicans to their aid ?:'
In truth, the Monarchists include three parties instead of
two, so that the small Republican minority is equal to any
of these three sections, and with the aid of auy one, in
aiblition to the doubtful deputies, would become a ma-
jority.

- -
Tile Republicans, according to the correspondent
of the Constitutionnel, carried the elections for
the most part in the towns where they won
in the municipal contests. These, in fact, aro all
the more important towns of Spain, except Madrid,
including Cadiz, Valentia, Seville, Badajos, Gerona,
Valladolid, Malaga, Saragossa, and Barcelona. Ali the
writers agree that the mode of election was thoroughly
impartial.

TURKEY A,ND GREECE.

There was no meeting of the Ambassadors on Sunday,
as announced by the official journals of Paris. The last
meeting took place on Wednesday afternoon. It was
merely for the purpose of receiving the signature of
Djemil Pasha to the protocol. The Liberte says the
affirmative reply of the Porte to the Turkish Ambassador's
request for instructions was accompanied by several
reserves and restrktions, which, howel er, did not hamper
the work of the plenipotentiaries. M. Walewski,
according to this journal, is to start for Athens on
Friday.

Sir C. E. Trevelyan writes to the Times• in support of
the case of Greece. He quotes despatches from Prince
Leopold, sent to the Duke of Wellington and Lord Aber-
deen in 1830, in which possession of Crete is insisted upon
as the only means of giving security to the new
Greek State. Sir C. E. Trevelyan points to the chronic
state of unsettlement caused by the wrongs of
Crete as the justification of this forecast. The
best way, he argues, to keep Russia at a distance
is not to oppose the natural and reasonable development
of the Eastern Christian populations. To this the Times
answers, that the Porte would not obtain one hour of peace
by the cession of Crete, that the means by which Greece
seeks to carry out her views are altogether unjustifiable,
and lastly, that she is in league, if not in alliance, with
Russia, the military power to be guarded against.
A blue-book has recently been published at Athens
containing despatches relative to this difficulty with
Turkey. The interest of these documents is chiefly retro-
spective ; but one point is noticeable—the bitterness with
which the Greek Minister at Constantinople speaks of the
attitude of the French Ambassador, and the warmth with
which he praises the Russian representative.
The Intlepe7zdance Edge is inclined to take a gloomy view
of the prospects of the Ottoman Empire. There is some
talk of another conspiracy in Constantinople, several
arrests having been made, and the peace of the empire is
menaced on the Persian frontier. With the remembrance
of the last conspiracy still fresh, it will be well to put
little faith in the bare report of a second ; but the Persian
affair seems more serious. The difficulty has arisen through
some violation of territory; but whatever may be the
cause, the effect has been the rapid concentration of
Persian troops in the neighbonrhood of Erzeroum. The
Etendard believes that even if peace be assured it will be
difficolt to reconcile Turkey and Greece, after the mea-
sures taken against Greek subjects in the Ottoman
dominions.
