THE RATING ( UNDAY SCHOOLS.

A body of workers which does not often obtrude
itself into public notice has come before the House
of Commons with a grievance. The Sunday-school
teachers are complaining, of having to pay rates. A
bill has been brought into the House by Mr. Reed,
thememberforHa,ekney, and Mr. Graves, the member
for Liverpool, for relieving them of the ital.,' hip, and
meetings are being held throughout the country
for petitioning Parliament on the subject. A
large one was held at Manchester on. Monday, at
which resolutions were passed approving the bill.
The principle upon which the measure is founded is
most just. Sunday-schools are institutions essenti-
ally for work, and are carried on in most cases with
a very small amount of money. In the worst parts
of large towns they are often conducted by the
energy of one man, and he is very rarely able to put
much money out of pocket. In London, the Sunday
School Union has often to step in and pay the rent of
the schools in the lowest neighbourhoods to prevent
them from being shut altogether.

Extracts from the Report of the Direct() s, presented at
the Actual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus iu 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the w' ole of
Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on cred.t.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rites and Forms of Proposal can be obtained
of any of the Society's Agents, or of
GEORGE CUTCLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary.

A QUESTION FOR THE REPORTERS.

1 Why is it that in reporting the debates in Parlia-
ment the gentlemen of the gallery use the titles of
certain Government officials but not of others ? In
fact, why do they use them at all ? Many years ago
the practice used to be confined to the Home Secre-
tary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Lord
Chancellor, the first dignitary being called the
Secretary of State. Since the
.appointment of Secre-
taries of State for the Colonies, for War, and for
India, the Home Secretary has been mentioned by
name. But within the last year or two the use of
dignities instead of names has been on the increase.
It is applied not only to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and the Lord Chancellor, but also to the
Attorney-General for England and for Ireland, to
the Solicitor-General for each of the three king-
doms, and to the Lord Advocate. Considering that
during the Administrations of Lord Derby and Mr.
Disraeli the law officers of the Government were
changed every two or three months, this mode of
designing the numerous gentlemen wlivo filled the
offices is very puzzling and irritating-to those per-
sons who have to refer to the debates of a year or
two ago. Why the Attorney-General should not be
called Sir Robert Collier as much as the First Lord
of the Admiralty is called Mr. Childers we cannot
divine. We trust that the gentlemen of the press and
Hansard will abandon a very objectionable practice.
London, England, 1869-04-21

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Collins, said the
answer to the question, whether in the event of the dis-
establishment of the Irish Church bishops, priests, and
deacons, who had or might be ordained, would be enabled
to hold preferment in the Established Church in England,
must not be consickred final. With respect to those
already ordained, he did not think those could be any
doubt, as they were to be secured the right to all privileges
for employment elsewhere. With respect to those to be
ordained, he was not so clear, but all doubt in the matter
should be cleared up before the bill was completed.
SIR CULLING EARDLEY.
Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Schofield, said that the
statements that had appeared in the newspapers with re-
spect to the release of Sir Culling Eardley were without
foundation. His predecessor in office had received an ap-
plication for the remission of the sentence after the pri-
soner had undergone some part of his 18 months' punish-
ment on the ground that further confinement would be
dangerous to life. A very strict inquiry was made
into the representations made to the Home-office by
Mr. Perry, and he, finding that the prisoner was
suffering from asthma and bronchitis, and also other
diseases, and being of opinion that further confinement
would bo highly dangerous to life, his hon. friend granted
a remission of the sentence on the condition that within
fourteen days after leaving prison Sir Culling Eardley
should quit England for the remaining term of his sen-
tence and not return until it had expired. When he, Mr.
Brace, came into office an application was made to him
to allow a longer time than fourteen days to pre:
pare, and eventually he granted another fourteen
days, when Sir Culling Eardley left England, and he be-
lieved he was still out of the country. Ho could assure
the house his right hon. friend the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty never in the slightest manner urged or asked for
a remission of the sentence of Sir Culling Eardley.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HARDY confirmed the statement of the right hon.
gentleman. The right hon. gentleman the First Lord of
the Admiralty never in any way asked kir a.departure from
the course ordinarily pursued, and Sir Culling Eardley was
treated just the same as any other prisoner.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under tho 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.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The Washington Ministry had a very long deliberation
on the 6th touching the affairs of Cuba. The decision of
General Grant's Cabinet was, according to the American
papers, that the strictest neutrality should be observed
throughout the struggle in the Spanish island. This con-
clusion, as the only proper one, will surprise nobody ; but
it is clear that the American Government will experience
the greatest difficulty in preserving neutrality. The
sympathy of the American people is all on the side of
the insurgents. It has been ascertained that many
Cubans, directly or indirectly concerned in the revolution,
have been naturalised as American citizens.' Many
native-born Americans are in the ranks of the rebel army.
If any of these subjects of the United States be massacred
by the Spanish volunteers, there is too much reason to
apprehend that the clamour of the Americans will compel
the Government to interfere. '1 ha. volunteers beyond
doubt commit unjustifiable atrocities; but it is equally
certain that the American filibusters are doing their
utmost to provoke the worst. The situation is very deli-
cate. The American West India squadron has again been
reinforced.

SPAIN WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT.

The Spaniards seem to get on tolerably well during
their prolonged political crisis. In any other country
rampant anarchy would have set in long ago ; but the
Spaniards are used to political collapse. The Siecle says
that the people are beginning to contemplate the possi-
bility of a republic. The bulk of them would prefer a
monarchy ; but they sagaciously conclude that if they get
a republic things cannot be much worse. The
correspondent of the Star has more definite informa-
tion. He says that an understanding has been
come to within the last few days between the independent
Progressists, led by Prim, and the heads of the Republican
party. It is now no secret that the Minister of War has
made overtures to the minority. The Republicans have
felt from the first that sooner or later the Progressists
would come round to them, and had resolved to accept the
first of the rival military chiefs who should take the initia-
tory step. It was in the nature of things that Prim, who
is ambitious, should steal a march upon Serrano by joining
his powerful party to the Republicans. Some portion of
this result is due to the Republican, Castelar. The Times
correspondent has called this deputy a " wind-bag," but
his recent speeches chew that he is one of the ablest orators
in Europe.

THE " BATTLE " OP SIVATOW.

The affair at Swatow was not a missionary difficulty,
but it seems that the usual error was committed on this
o3casion. A connected sketch of this encounter states
that the crew of the Cockchafer bad gone up the river for
boat exercise and drill. The Chinese assembled on
the banks and pelted them. The boats tried to regain
the sea, but at a narrow part of the river the Chinese cut
them off. The Englishmen then had to use their Snider

OBITUARY.

The death of the }lon. W. C. Dobbs is announced.
Mr. Dobbs was one of the judges of the Landed
Estates Court, Ireland, and thus the first legal post
of importance falls to the gift of the present Govern-
ment.—An account also is published of the death of
a Waterloo veteran,
Moses Dyer. He enlisted in
1801, was in the chief battles of the Peninsular
campaign, and was severely wounded at Waterloo.
He was 86 years old. His eldest son was in eleven
engagements during the Indian mutiny, and from
the effects of this campaign suddenly dropped dead
on board ship as he was returning to England.—A.
Baltimore paper mentions the death of Lord Fair-
fax, that is to say, of the gentleman who was entitled
to this dignity. He was a descendant of the great
Lord Fairfax, of the Civil Wars, and was the great
grandson of the eighth baronet, and succeeded to
the title in 1846. He never claimed the title, pre-
ferring to die as he had lived, an American citizen.
He was born in Virginia, but resided the greater
part of his life_ in California, where he held high
office. The peerage now descends to his brother
John, who lives in Maryland, and is not at all likely
to claim it.
London, England, 1869-04-21

THE CORONATION OATH.

It is a lucky thing for the Queen that Lord
Redesdale is not the keeper of her conscience, other-
wise she would have an evil time of it. His lordship
has got the! notion into his head that the Queen
having sworn to uphold the Church "as by law
established," she cannot without perjury assent to
the disestablishment of any portion of the Church by
law. In other words, the legislation of the beginning
of the century is stereotyped for all time to
come. The Queen is equally bound to uphold the
laws of the realm, and if Lord Redesdale's theory be
good for anything it means that the Queen must veto
every Act of Parliament altering or abrogating one
of the statutes which was in force on June
,28, 1838.
Perhaps even this veteran Tory will be open to
history, even if he is not to common sense. Lord
Granville mentioned a fact of great interest. It
w:-:s that not only is the present Coronation
o..th different from that taken by William
111., hnd from that taken by George 111., which of
themselves differed, but the present oath was framed
:imply at the suggestion of the then Archbishop of
Canterbury at the coronation of George IV., in order
to include the Church of Ireland, which since the
coronation of George ill. had been annexed to. the
English Church. This alteration was made not by
Act of Parliament, but by Order in Council. So
that the form of oath followed legislation, not legis-
lation the form of oath, as Lord Redesdale supposes.
It will, therefore, be quite unnecessary to pass an
Act of Parliament to alter the oath, or to relieve the
Queen's conscience, as Lord Redesdale phrases it.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The Dublin Evening Mail publishes a special tele-
gram from London which states that " the opinion is
growing that Mr. Disraeli's Amendments will all be
rejected on party grounds, but that the bill will be
so modified in the House of Lords as to ensure its
rejection on return to the Commons." There does
not seem to be any present foundation for this
rumour. The perfect discipline of the Liberal party,
and the repeated overwhelming defeats of the Oppo-
sition, will certainly make the Lords hesitate before
they venture to reject a bill sent up to them from
the Commons by such large majorities. Of course
it is possible that some important amendments will
be made in the Upper House, and that Mr.
Gladstone will accept them. Possibly the substitu-
tion of 1872 for 1871, and the valuation of
incumbents' incomes, without deducting the curates'
stipends, will be among them.

TUE PURCHASE OF IRISH RAILWAYS BY THE
STATE.

The agitationin favour of the purchase of Irish rail-
ways by the State is b eiug conducted with vigour. Lord
Clanricarde is the leader in advocating the proposed
administrative reform, and he has brought over the
majority of Irish legislators to his opinions. A
meeting was held on Monday at the house of the noble
marquis, where it was stated that seventy peers and
ninety Irish representatives had signed the declaration
in favourof the purchase and consolidation of the Irish
lines and reduction of fares. It was resolved that
Lord Clanricarde should send the lists to Mr.
Gladstone, and request the attention of Government
to the wish expressed. It was also arranged that
Major Ormsby Gore should put his question as to
the intentions of Government on the subject of the
Irish railways on next Monday. Major Gore, how-
ever, will hardly get an answer that will be satisfac-
tory to him. For this session, at least, the Govern-
ment will be able to plead that they have enough on
hand to occupy their attention. Sufficient unto the
session is the consideration of the measures thereof.
Moreover, Mr. Lowe, who would certainly have to be
consulted in the case of such a measure, has already
announced his decided hostility to the State under-
taliing the conduct of private enterprises. Amongst
those he reckons railways and telegraphs.

to free themselves. No exception can be taicen to tnis
conduct, but the subsequent history of the affair is less
satisfactory. Compensation or submission was refused,
and 459 marines and seamen, with two field-pieces, were
straightway landed. Tl.e Chinese, of course, made little
headway against the Sniders with "stink-pots," " foofoo-
tubs," and the like effective missiles. Many were killed
and wounded. The English had also over a dozen slight
casualties. The question is, was this employment
of armed force, instead of applying for redress at Pekin,
absolutely necessary? The Times correspondent says that
the neighbourhood of Swatow would not have been safe
for foreigners if the outrage had been passed over. But
killing and wounding several score Chinamen is heavy
punishment for "pelting."

CARDINAL CITLLEN.

The Herald is again much e:crcised about Cardinal
Cullen's visit to the Lord-Lieutenant. According to
our contemporary, the Cardinal is notoriously desti-
tute of such qualifications as would render him a
genial companion. The only reason for feting him,
therefore, must be that he is the Pope's representa-
tive, that he is the head of the Church. The Tablet
has already been able to boast that in no country—not
even in Catholic lands—are the chiefs of the Church
treated with more respect and delicate attention
than at the Viceregal Court of Ireland. "We are
not aware," says the Herald, " that the sentinels as
yet present arms to his Eminence as he passes, but
from what has already occurred it seems certain that
if a Protestant bishop ventured to dine in his company
at the Castle the Roman prince would take pre-
cedence of the Anglican prelate." But the Conservative
j ournal doesnot counselthat the cardinal for the future
shall not be invited to the Castle. If he continues
to go he will soon become a " Castle hack," the
affections of his people will be alienated from him,
his spiritual power will wane. And so, after all, the
Lord-Lieutenant is doing unawares a good work.
Even Orangemen cannot complain after this. The
presence of the Cardinal at any future banquets
must ilot be grumbled at. Roman Catholics must be
liatisfiadr._. Orangemen
_..plaamietl, and it:ore liberal
thinkers will be glad of peace and quietness between
the two.

THE RATING ( F :UNDAY SCHOOLS.

A body of workers which does not often obtrude
itself into public notice has come before the House
of Commons with a grievance. The Sunday-schocl
teachers are complaining. of having to pay rates. A
bill has been brought into the House by Mr. Reed,
the memberforHacliney, and Mr. Graves, the member
for Liverpool, for relieving them of the liar ' hip, and
meetings are being held throughout the country
for petitioning Parliament on the subject. A
large one was held at Manchester on Monday, at
which resolutions were passed- approving the bill.
The principle upon which the measure is founded is
most just. Sunday-schools are institutions essenti-
ally for work, and are carried on in most cases with
a very small amount of money. In the worst parts
of large towns they are often conducted by the
energy of one man, and he is very rarely able to put
much money out of pocket. In London, the Sunday
School Union has often to step in and pay the rent of
the schools in the lowest neighbourhoods to prevent
them from being shut altogether.

FRESH DIFFICULTIES IN CRETE.

The Indepenclance Beige states that the Porte has com-
promised the decision of the Conference and its own wise
policy throughout the dispute with Greece by a very
injudicious action in Crete. A body of Albanian
irregulars had been ordered to form part of the garrison.
The arrival of these troops, who earned an infamous
reputation for cruelty and lawlessness during the late
insurrection, has caused the greatest irritation amongst
the Christians of the island. The population is disarmed,
and exposed without protection to the rapacity and
brutality of these semi-barbarous Albanians. It is even
rumoured that the insurrection has broken out afresh in
the Eastern part of the island. This time, at least, the
Greeks have nothing to answer for.

in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the su-cessful 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.

THE QUEEN AND TILE POPE.

While Lord Redesdale has been exercising himself
about the Coronation Oath, the Queen has been
sending a telegram of congratulation to the Pope on
the fiftieth anniversary of the celebration of his first
mass. After this we can believe everything that Dr.
Cumming, Mr. Murphy, and the rest announce. The
world clearly must be coming to an end. There re-
mains but one more crowning inivity—the esta-
blishment of diplomatic relations between the Courts
of London and Rome, the appearance of a full-blown
Minister at the Vatican instead of that nondescript
official, Mr. Odo Russell, and the presence of a
Papal .Nuncio at St. James's Palace. We shall then
be like all the rest of the world, and it will be impos-
sible for us to apostatise any further.

THE BISHOP OF EXETEIL.

The lively discussion which has been going on for
some time in the Western Morning Hews respecting
the (to use Mr. Gladstone's words) " absence of
responsible episcopal government" in the diocese of
Exeter, appears to have produced some effect.
It is announced at Plymouth that Bishop
Trower has accepted a commission from the
Lord Bishop of Exeter empowering him
to undertake generally the episcopal duties
of the diocese. Bishop Trower was formerly a
Scotch bishop, then Bishop of Gibraltar, and is now
sub-dean of Exeter. Ile has for the last few months
been confirming and consecrating in behalf of Bishop
Phillpotts, but had not received a legal commission.
This commission involves, we believe, the exercise of
episcopal patronage by the bishop commissioned

SICK LEGISLATORS.

Mr. Disraeli has the gout. There is not any reason
to ask the question which Talleyrand put when he
heard of the illness of an ambassador, " Why does
his Excellency have the gout just now ?" There
is no particular reason for a diplomatic indisposi-
tion in the present instance, although Mr. Hardy is,
according to some persons, better fitted to deal with
the details of the Irish Church than his chief, who is
too fond of paradoxes and too impatient of facts.
Another member, Colonel Stuart, M.P. for Cardiff,
-is so seriously ill that prayers for his recovery have
been offered up in the Cardiff churches. Colonel
Stuart is a Liberal, and the heir-presumptive to the
Marquis of Bute. Colonel Kingscote has recovered
from his severe hunting fall, and has been able to
take part in the divisions.

LORD DERBY AND THE IRISH PEERS.

That the election of Irish peers is a mere farce,
that it is always directed by one hand, and that
members of one party only can hope to be sent to
represent the Irish aristocracy in the House of Lords,
are facts sufficiently notorious. Here, at least,
even Mr. Bright would be convinced of the wisdom
of the representation of minorities. The majority
of the Irish peerage is Conservative, but the
whole of the Irish representative peers are Con-
servative. The minority cannot raise its
voice ;it has no voice to raise. When Lord
Powerscourt wrote " I was elected a representative
peer by Lord Derby," he told the simple truth.
But Lord Derby is no Irish peer. Ralph de Peverel,
writing to the Star, asks, "Are the Irish peers, as a
body, and especially those among them who are, or
who seek to be, ' representative peers,' a set of
slaves? Such, at least, is the obvious inference
to be drawn from Lord Pow erscourt's recently
published letter on the Irish difficulty. I
have looked in Burke's and Lodge's Peer-
ages in vain for any information as to Lord Derby's
right to interfere in the election of Irish represen-
tative peers. Ilia lordship has estates in Ireland;
but he is Earl of Derby and Lord Stanley of
Piclierstaffe in the British peerage, not in that of
Ireland. What right, then, has he to impose
pledges cn Irish noblemen, or to `release' them from
them ? " Perhaps the noble earl would say that his
monarchy is one exercised by the free will of his
subjects. But what about the minority ?

THE GUNPOIVDER PLOT IN EGYPT.

The case of the Viceroy of Egypt is particularly hard.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," but the Vice-
roy has, so to speak, only a semi-crown, and yet no poten-
tate can well be in a snore uneasy position. More than
one attempt has been made upon his life. Ruling a nation
i i all very well, but when it is accompanied with the
imminent risk of being elevated into the air as you lie on
your hedisr as you sit in your chair, ordinary mortals
may well congratulate themselves. The last attempt
to assassinate the Viceroy seems to have been
founded on the model of the Guy Fawkes conspiracy.
It was projected to blow up the Viceroy as he sat
at the theatre. His Highness's chair is on a slightly
raised platform, and in the floor was found the infernal
machine, composed of an apothecary's mortar. At the
bottom of the mortar was found a layer of gunpowder,
above which was a layer of balls, upon that another layer
of powder, and on the top of all a layer of bullets and small
pieces of glass. Between each layer was placed paper, and
aquantity of powder was also strewn about under the raised
platform, and so arranged under the main gaspipe that fire
could soon have finished the work of destruction. A wick,
impregnated with some inflammable matter, was then
)ntroduced into the mortar, and passing down the wall
was hidden sufficiently by the gas-pipe to escape observa-
tion, while the other end of the wick was attached to a
beam near a gas-jet in the side scene, where it could easily
be ignited. The theatre had been closed for some days
previously, thus giving the conspirators every opportunity
of arranging the details of this neat scheme. But who
the conspirators are is not disclosed, even if they are
known.
