M !. LOWDER.

Miring the present week the third ann'versary of
the c:msecration of St. Peter's Church, London
Docirs, has been held. The Church Times, spealiing
of the principal day, says : " The high altar was
ablaze with its numerous lighted tapers. There
were Low Masses at 6.30, 7, and 8, when num-
brs of the inhabitants of the district made their
communions. The high celebration was at eleven
o'clock, at which the ritual was exceedingly
beautiful and elaborate, and doubtless m accordance
with the law of the Church of England, though,
perhaps, scarcely coming within the terms of the
Queen's degree." In the course of his speech at the
luncheon, the incumbent, Mr. Lowder, said that he
had heard nothing official with regard to the
threatened prosecution, and the Bishop of London
had promised that it should not be commenced with-
out giving him official intimation. Lord Eliot, Sir
Charles Young, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Brett were
amen:: the other speakers, and it was declared that
the only result of prosecutions would be, as at St.
Alban's, to make the ritual more beautiful and
elaborate than before.

VTR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced en entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH., fixod 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.

TilE CAMP AT TVIMBLEDON.

This morning the camp was opened, and large
numbers of Volunteers had their quarters assigned
to them. Everything is now complete, and the
office of the National Rifle Association has been
opened on the common. Captain St. John Mildmay
and a large staff have arrived, and also a large num-
ber of the Guards, who will act as markers. The
following metropolitan regiments will arrive this
afternoon : The Victorias, South Middlesex,
West Middlesex, St. George's, London Scottish,
19th Middlesex, 20th (North West) Middlesex,
Civil Service, Queen's (Westminster) 26th Mid-
dlesex (Her Majesty's Customs' Rifles), the Lon-
don Irish Rifles, the Bloomsbury Rifles, the
Artists, the Ist Surrey Rifles, and several others.
There will be church parade to-morrow, and the
shooting will commence on Monday. At the grand
closing review on the 16th, her Majesty, the Prince
of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge are expected
to attend ; and there is some probability that her
Majesty will visit the camp during the contests and
at the presentation of prizes.

THE NEGRO IN VIRGINIA.

It seems highly probable that the African race will
speedily be thrust out of Virginia southwards to a
warmer clime. Of late a large body of immigrants
from the North have settled in the " Old Dominion,"
the number of these is increasing, and the free black will
have the utmost difficulty in contending with his hardy
and energetic rivals. The fine soil of Virginia affords
every encouragement to the settler, and accordingly the
cry is " Still they come." The price of land in the old
State fell after the war to one-fourth its former price. It
has now risen to one-half, and is still going up. Thanks
to this immigration, the civil war will soon be almost
forgotten in Virginia at least.

CAPITAL PUNISIDIENT.

The Attorney-General of Rhode Island has recently
been asked—at the instance of Mr. Gilpin, M.P.—
what was his experience of the abolition of capital
punishment in the State. lie replied : " Ffistly,
there have been nine convictions for murder within
the last ten years. Secondly, the abolition of the
death penalty has not perceptibly increased the
number of homicides. Thirdly, the prevailing
public opinion in this State is in favour of the
present system. Fourthly, under this system con-
victions are more easily obtained, and the certainty
of punishment operates more effectually in cheCaing
crime."

NITRO-GLYCERINE.

Dr. Smith, of Finsbury, writes to the Daily News
on the subject of nitro-glycerine. He says that the
fearful explosion near CarnarVon, on Wednesday,
affords another example of the risk that is incurred
through ignorance and indifference. 'Cho question
to consider is, whether valuable lives and property are
to be at the mercy of persons who employ nitro-
glycerine because it is more economical than gun-
powder. Even if the greatest precautions are
employed;
it is impossible to guard against
the explosion of nitro-glycerine. During
the four years which have passed since its discovery
many serious accidents have been produced through
its agency. In 1800 some cases exploded at Aspinwall,
on the Isthmus of Panama, when the vessel in which
they were stored was demolished, as well as another
large ship laying alongside, and several persons were
killed. At Newcastle, a short time ago, great loss of
life occurred through a similar explosion, and it is
evident that the employment of nitro-glycerine is
attended by such fearful risk that it ought to be
prohibited under heavy penalties.

THE rEaESFOLDS.4.

ihe Daily News has some sarcastic remarks upon
the 13eresfords and their connection with the Irish
Church. Our contemporary intimate ; tli:t this family
has fattened upon the Church for generations, and
that therefore it is a fortunate thing the Irish Archi-
episcopate is represented this year by the Archbishop
of Dublin instead of by the Archbishop of Armagh.
This is scarcely fair. Unquestionably epis:opal
Bcresfords have died enormously rich, but then their
riches were not derived, solely nor chiefly, from the
Church. The late Archbishop of Armagh, like the
present, a Beresford, left an enormous fortune, but
he gave back to the Church a very large proportion
of the income which he derived from it. Few men
were more charitable than he.

MEETING OF PEERS.

The Times contains a rather vague announcement.
says :

" We understand that a meeting of influential peers was
held on Thursday at the Duke of Cleveland's, to consider
the effect of the various amendments of the Irish Church
Bill now before the House of Lords, and to settle the
course of action most likely to render the bill effective for
the objects they have in view. These objects are believed
to refer to the compositi.n of the new Church Body, the
clauses concerning which were postponed on Thursday
night, as well as to the amendment of which the Duke of
Cleveland has already given notice. The greatest unani-
mity prevailed as to the course to be pursued and the
particular amendments to be proposed. Lords Grey,
Westbury, and others are understood to have
waived their separate action to follow the lead of the
Duke of Cleveland."

Who the "influential peers" are is not quite clear,
nor whether they included the Conservatives. From
the omission of the names of any but Liberal lords,
it would appear not.

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AND THE IRISH
CHURCH RILL.

The Duke of Cambridge has broken the neutrality
which he his hithert9 been careful to observe. In
the last division which took place in the House of
I.orcls on Thursday night, his Itoyal Highness votcd
in favour of the Earl of Carnarvon's proposal, to
secure to the incumbents of the Irish Church 11
ye....rs' purchase of their several life-interests.

SPAIN.

A small quarrel has taken place between General Prim
atcl some of his brother Ministers at Madrid. From the
imperfect accounts yet to hand it appears that Prim con-
tradicted Figuerola, the Finance Minister, on some point
of no great importance, and the latter, with some of his
colleagues, resirmed. Subsequently the amc4de ltonlyable
was made and the resignations withdrawn. General Prim
acknowledged himself in the wrong. Further details of
this incident seem to be require:l.

REFORM IN MILITARY ACCOUTREMENTS.

A contemporary announces some valuable altera-
tions in the knapsack and accoutrements of the army.
A. waterproof valise, without frame and of light weight,
is to supersede the present knapsack. This valise
is supported on the lower portion of the soldier's
back in the following manner :—From the waist-belt a short
strap on each side passes to a ring, from which a broad strap,
passing over the shoulders, crosses with its fellow on the
upper part of the hack, like an ordinary pair of braces,
and, catching the corner of the valise by a buckle, runs
under the arm to the opposite ring from which it
started. Another short strap passing posteriorly from the
ring to the lower angle of the valise secures it to the
man's body. In front, upon the waist-belt, is carried the
pouch for ammunition, which can be shifted to one side
so as to allow the waist-belt to be opened. This equip-
ment is very easy, and leaves the chest perfectly
free. It supplies many of the most essential
requirements of military duties—simplicity and dura-
bility, lessened risk of damage, and facility for removal
or readjustment. The soldier can put it on and
off like his coat, by simply unfastening the
waist-belt, or it will remain like a garment

The great-coat is carried above the valise, and in no
way interferes with the general arrangement. It is also
determined to issue to each man a separate canvas bag fcr
surplus articles of clothing and necessaries, in lieu of the
present " squad-bag," which is available for twenty-five
men. This, it is anticipated, will encourage the soldier in
habits of care and neatness.

The Da lyi'Vew,.= has some sarc;-;stic remarks upon
the Beresfords and their connection with the Ir:sh
Church. Our c.mtemporary intimates this fancily
has fattened upon the Church for generations, and
that therefore it is a fortunate thing the Trish Archi-
episcopate is represented this year by the Archbishop
of Dublin instead of by the Archbishop of Armagh.
This is scarcely fair. Unquestionably episcopal
Beresfords have died enormously rich, but then their
riches were not derived, solely nor chiefly, from the
Church. The late Archbishop of Armagh, like the
present, a Beresford, left an enormous fortune, but
he gave back to the Church a very large proportion
of the income which he derived from it. Few men
were more charitable than be.

CONVERSION OF PROTESTANTS IN ERIMJUVG

The Tatra announces a great conversion to Roman
Catholicism at a Hungarian town named Pap Tamas.
All the inhabitants of this place, with the exception of
twelve or sixteen families, have abjured Protestantism.
even persons only partook of the Protestant communion
on Whit-Monday last, and the mass of the population
held a meeting, after which they betook themselves to the
Catholic parish priest of Bibar, and declared their inten-
tion of embracing the Catholic faith.-

in the same,

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.

NITTtO-G LI C BRINE.

Dr. Smith, of Finsbury, writes to the Pagy News
on the sub;ect of nitro-glycerine. Ile says that the
fearful explosion near Carnarvon, on Wednesday,
affords another example of the risk that is incurred
through ignorance and indifference. The question
to consider is, whether valuable lives and property are
to be at the mercy of persons who employ nitro-
glycerine because it is more economical than gun-
powder. Even if the greatest precautions are
employed, it is impossible to guard against
the explosion of nitro-glycerine. Darin,
the four years which have passed since its discovery
many serous accidents have been produced through
its agency. In 13 i some cases exploded:A Aspinwall,
on the Isthmus of Panama, when the vessel in which
they were stored was demolished, as well as another
large ship laying alongside, and several persons were
killed. At Newcastle, a short time ago, great loss of
life occurred through a similar explosion, and it is
evident that the employment of nitro-glycerine is
attended by such fearful risk that it ought to be
prohibited under heavy penalties.

THE DOCTRINE OF INT.., NATIONAL SYMPATHY.

It is noteworthy that, whilst. the English Press is at one
in resisting the claim for damages on account of our
"sympathy" with the South, the American journals are
by no means equally unanimous in supporting the demand.
The .Arno York Tints persistently writes against the
inconsistency of such a theory. The reason why the
American nation cannot demand damages for sympathy
with the South is, it argues, simply because the Ameri-
cans themselves have always claimed the right of expres-
sing iniividual opinion respecting all sorts of wars and
rebellions. If America had to pay for sympathy with
insurrec.,tious in Crete, Poland, Hungary, Cuba, and
Ireland, the nation would have to go through the bankruptcy
court. "We certainly have never scrupled to 'encourage'
by our sympathy whichever of to o contending parties wo
happened to fancy, and have never thought of having our
sympathy reckoned up against us at the market price by
the other party. In the case of England, especially, it is
doubtful whether she has been engaged in any war for
nigh upon a hundred years in which we have not publicly
expressed our hopes that she would get soundly whipped."
Too hicTl: praise cannot be given to a journal for a polcy
-,-,ugh just, is by no means without danger.

He (the Chairmah) did not think it improvident to build
churches and to cast the burden on posterity, for those
that came after them shared the advantages of the labours
of those who had gone before. (Hear, hear.) The new
church bad been built with prudence—it had been well done;
and hero he was called upon to pay a tribute of admira-
tion to the architect, who, in the present instance, had out-
done himself, notwithstanding his splendid works in other
parts of the country, and with which many of them were
acquainted. The building was noble, simple, vigorous,
bold, and beautiful ; it was well adapted to the purposes
for which it was intended, and no money had been frittered
away in needless ornamentation ; and he again urged them
to do all that was in their power to assist in the liquida-
tion of the responsibility which still remained. Twoyears
ago it was not known where the means were to come
from to build the church ; but they had come, and the
means of building others would come. He (the Chairman)
felt quite sure that those who could give would give, and
those who could 'tot would gather. (Hear, hear.) lie
would, therefore, give them the health of him to whose
energy and untiring ardour they owed the new church at
Kensington. (Loud cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. FOLEY returned thanks for the praises
and compliments lavished upon him. He had encoun-
tered difficulties and trials, but happily strength had been
given him to surmount the obstacles, and the great desire
of his heart had been accomplished. (Cheers.)
The company then sep•trated.

' ance of Lord SALIS BUYS A.mendment. Against that
amendment were sixty-Lice. For it, were 213. So
that the clear majority was 144 in favour of the
omission (frcm clause 27 of the Irish Church Bill) of
the words, requiring that, in comileratien of hand-
ing over the glebe houses to the Church Body, the
Colvmissioners should be paid either ten tiny s die
annual value of the sites eatimati.d as land, or, in the
alternative, either any building charges on the glebe
houses, or ten years' annual value of them. As ori-
ginally arranged, according to the actual wording
and significance of the particular clause or portion
of the clause he was objecting to, the
scheme as propounded by her MAJEsn's Ministers,

AMATEUR V. PROFESSIONAL CRICKETERS.

The amateur cricketers are just now in the
ascendant. Until within the last two or three years
an eleven in which the professionals predominated
would almost invariably defeat a " team " composed
mainly of gentlemen. The annual match, " Gentle-
men v. Players," resulted for the most part in an easy
victory for the latter. But this year a powerful
eleven of professionals, including four of the best
bowlers in England, have been twice beaten by
eleven amateurs. The county of Surrey, represented
mostly by professionals, has been hopelessly beaten
by several teams of gentlemen. The best batsman
of the day, Mr. W. G. Grace, is an amateur. In
short,. the. gentlemen, for the time, have plainly the
superiority, and the general cry is that professional
cricket must hide its diminished head and go out of
date. But there is another side to the question. It
is generally found that men who give their whole
lives to a pursuit and earn their bread by it attain
greater proficiency than those who follow it for
amusement only, and cricket is no exception to the
rule. The fact is that the amateurs are beating
the professionals only by becoming virtually
professionals themselves. They appear on the
scoring-sheet with " Esq." to their name, and they
do not play for a livelihood ; but these are the only
differences. The leading amateur players figure in
matches six days out of the seven. Some of them
play regularly with the professionals for their
county. The best of the two University teams have
been playing in great matches every day except
Sunday for weeks past. The great cricketers at the
public schools spend most of their time at the
wickets. This is the reason why the gentlemen
are rivalling the professionals. Is it perfectly satis-
factory ?

THE CAMP AT WIMBLEDON.

This morning the camp was opened, and large
numbers of Volunteers had their quarters assigned
to them. Everything is now complete, and the
office of the National Rifle Association has been
opened on the common. Captain St. John Mildmay
i.3.(1 a large staff have arrived, and also a large num-
ber of the Guard; who will act as markers. The
following metropolitan regiments will isrrivo this
afternoon : The Victorias, South Middlesex,
West Middlesex, St. George's, London Scottish,
19th Middlesex, 20th (North West) Middlesex,
Civil Service, Queen's (Westminster) 26th Mid-
dlesex (Her Majesty's Customs' Rifles), the Lon-
don Irish Rifles, the Bloomsbury Rifles, the
Artists, the lst Surrey Rifles, and several others.
There will be church parade to-morrow, and the
almoting will commence on Monday. At the grand
closing review on the 16th, her Majesty, the Prince
of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge are expected
to attend ; and there is some probability that her
Majesty will visit the camp during the contests and
at the presentation of prizes.
