SPAIN.

An important private meeting of'the Monarchical depu-
ties of the Cortes was held a day or two ago. A propo-
sition to exclude from the throne every member of the
Bourbon family, no matter of what degree, was taken
into consideration. But the majority declined to commit
itself to a conclusion of such an extensive, and, it might
be, embarrassing character. The Duke of Montpensier
belongs to one branch of the Bourbon family. The general
tone of the meeting, says the Conditutionncl, appeared
favourable to the final and definite exclusion of Queen
Isabella and her descent in direct line. It is likely that
some proposition to this effect will be brought forward.

Mr. John Stuart Mill's new work, entitled "The Sub-
jection of Women," will shortly be published.—ln the
" Life of Keble," by Sir John Coleridge, regret is
expressed that the important letters which had passed
between the poet and his friend, Richard Hurrell Froude,
had d isappeared and could not be found, though a rigid search
had been instituted. They have recently unexpectedly
been discovered.—There still survive four medical gentle-
men on whom the Guelphie order of Knighthood was
conferred before the accession of her Majesty—viz.,
Sir James Clark, Sir Henry Holland, Dr. Latham,
and Dr. Neill Arnott.—The question of reduced
rates of postage, especially for newspapers and printed
matter, has been taken up by the Society of Arts. They
have appointed a committee to promote measures for
accomplishing the reduction.—The sale of the various
curiosities and works of art collected by M.
Edouard Fould realised £22,845. Mille. Nilsson
is to mal:e her last appearance for the season,
in Paris, on the 28th, in " Hamlet," and she is
to come out at Covent garden on the 4th of May, a date
on which another Swedish singer, Mdlle. Jenny Lind,
first stepped on the boards of Her Majesty's Theatre.—
Amcngst the works to be performed at the Worcester
Festival next September are " St. Paul," "Elijah,"
"Judas Maccaloeus," and "The Prodigal Son," Mr.
Arthur Sullivan's new oratorio. Engagements have been
concluded with Mr. Sims Beeves, Mr. Santley, Mdlle.
Tietjens, Madame Patey-Whytock, and other vocalists.
The whole of the cathedral will be thrown open, including
the choir, which is undergoing restorations that will not
be finished for two years.—Timour's Library has not, after
all, been discovered in the India House. The manu-
scripts, according to the Spectator, " have now
been submitted to the learned Professor Ameuney,
whose report settles the question. They were
part of the library at Beejapoor, and fell to us on the
lapse of the Sattara State. They consist of 490 volumes,
of which twenty-five arc in Persian, and the rest in Arabic,
twenty 7 poetry, seventy history, and most of the rest
theology. veral of them are authors' copies of old
Mobamin :Ai works, the oldest bearing date 1133, and
one, the Tilwih of TaftAzani,' dated 1350, is believed to
be the author's manuscript. They are a valuable addition
to the great India Office Library, but of far less interest
than was believed."

NAVAL AND MILITARY ITEMS,

The United Service Gazette understands that the
price to:be paid to a lieutenant, R.N., on giving up
his commission, is -,•(2120 'for each year of actual ser-
vice from the time of entering. The Army and
Nary Gazette says that Major-General Sir Edward
Wetherall is likely to be offered a divisional com-
mand in the Bengal Presidency. It will be remem-
bered that this officer was appointed Under-Secretary
for Ireland by Mr. Disraeli at the time that the last
Administration was in artieulo mon'ie, and that the
Present Goveniment said they should take the
earliest opportunity of transferring Sir Edward
to a post more suited to a military man. The
same paper denies the statement that Lord
Northbrook's committee had made a report
reversing some of the principal recommen-
dations of Lord Strathnairn's committee, and says
that no report has been made. The Gazette believes
that General Stisted will be appointed to the com-
mand of the troops in China and Japan, and under-
stands that Rear-Admiral Loring will succeed Rear-
Admiral Wellesley at Portsmouth Dockyard, an
appointment which our contemporary, expects will
cause great dissatisfaction.
The Broad Arrow believes that one result of Lord
orthbrook's committee will be the re-union of the
Audit Department with the Accountant-General's
Department at the War Office. The Duke of Cam-
bridge has been examined at great length, and it is
understood that the committees labours are drawing
to a close. The same paper states that "Dover
House, Whitehall, has been purchased by the
Government, and it is not improbable that it will
form part of the range of buildings in connection
with the Horse Guards, when that department is
amalgamated with the War Office." From the same
source we learn the very serious, and, it is feared,
hopeless illness of Captain Colin Campbell, and the
recovery of Sir S. Dacres, who will probably take
command of the North-American squadron before
long. •

LATERNATIOYAL YACHT RACE.

Mr. Ashbury, the owner of the celebrated yacht
Cambria, has thrown out a challenge to America for a
race across the Atlantic, to compete for the cup which
was carried of by America some time ago. Some
cJrrespondence has taken place respecting the conditions
of the contest. The Cambria has arrived oil Brighton to
take in stores preparatory to a short experimental cruise,
and Mr. Ashbury entertained a party of friends on board.
In the course of some remarks which he made, he
declared that neither trouble nor expense should be spared
to uphold the character of the country in yachting matters.
For seventeen years no one had had the pluck to compete
for the cup now in the possession of the Americans.
He thought it would be better for the vessel he
competed with to be of the tonnage of the Cambria,
and not double. lie had, however, submitted theu question
of measurement to the Royal Yachting Clb
Yachting Congress, and he would abide by that decision.
He had thrown down the gauntlet in a perfectly fair
manner, and it was for the Americans to take it up.

THE SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL.

It is believed that the Scotch Education Bill will
be abandoned. A Scotch contemporary says : " The
Duke of Argyll is quite disheartened by the host of
hostile deputations which dun him daily, and almost
hourly, and Mr. Moncreiff has expressed his delibe-
rate opinion that enough opposition has been
manifested to shew that the country is not ripe for
the proposed change. The lobbies of both Houses
for the last fortnight have been' quite a study to any
one knowing anything about Scotland. Professors,
ministers, priests, schoolmasters, Scotch advocates on
the look-out for berths, have swarmed there, and the
Scotch members have had to run the gauntlet of
being button-holed at every step. Nor have the
peers escaped, the Duke of Argyll having been driven
to the verge of losing his temper more than once."
Dr. Playfair (a Liberal) has given notice that he
will on the motion for going into committee move
the "six months" amendment.

" CROSS-CUPPING."

------ --
A few nights ago —Mr. Cardwell, in reply
to a question, denied that " a soldier suffering
from consumption, or any other disease
whereby he was incapacitated from continuing
in ller Majesty's service, cannot be discharged till
ho has been subjected to the operation of cross-
cupping." Ile added that cupping was never
resorted to except as a remedy for disease. The
Secret .ry of War appears to have been strangely
nis:nformed. When a man passes the invaliding
bard he is then, and not_ before, cross-cupped, for
the purpose of affording a means of identification should
lie present himself for re-enlistment. Nay more, he
is cupped—it is always cross-cupping—on a part
corresponding with the seat of disease, so as to afford
a clue to the nature, or, at all events, to the position
of such disease. Thus, if he is invalided from any
cerebral affection, he is cross-cupped in the back of
the neck ; if it is anything connected with the trunk
he is cross-cupped on the small of the back ;
if the knee or ankle joints be the seat
of disease, these are the parts seclected for the
- manna ofAbilijusreniom. &vim

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

The Duke of Edinburgh has been. laying the
foundation stone of the Sailors' Home at 'Adelaide,
and then, variety being charming, indulged in the
fine manly sport of pigeon-shooting. In the evening
of the same day he dined at Government House.
Before leaving, his Royal highness made a present
of £5O towards the Home, an act of generosity which
will no doubt appear in ne:-..t year's Civil Service
Estimates.

TIIE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY AND THE EDUCATION

OF THE VERY POOR.

The Earl of Shaftesbury gave his opinion at the
Conference on Reformatories and Refuges upon the
subject of the education and reclamation of the
criminal classes. There aro very few whose words
are entitled to more weight. He has long been fore-
most amongst those who have sought to teach the
very poor, and to reclaim the city Arab. And he
told the meeting that one of the things to be
much dreaded by philanthropists was that the
State should have anything to do with the education
of the reformatory schools. Government
.control
should not be exercised, he thought, in this direc-
tion, but rather towards the coercive prevention of
crime. The Habitual Criminals Bill he thoroughly
supported. While in this way crime was made a
steep and thorny road to tread, the path of honesty
might be made easier by giving to the outcast a
certain amount of education, and by imbuing the
mind a the untrained with ideas of uprightness.

TWO LITERARY DISCOVERIES.

Two interesting literary discoveries are announced
by the John Bull. The first is an important letter
of Archbishop 13ramhall, in which he enters into
detail as to the purchase of land and tithes for the
Church of Ireland, which has just been found
amongst the manuscripts in the Lambeth library.
The other is the correspondence between Keble and
Richard Hurrell Froude. The letters had disap-
peared, much to the regret of, Keble's biographer.
A rigid but unavailing search for them was made.
They have now been discovered quite unexpectedly.

New York, write pointing out that they arranged
with Mr: Mike for the publication of his " Greater
Britain," and complaining that after advertising it
they were superseded. Messrs. Harper issued an
inferior edition at a low price, and made the agree-
ment with the author valueless. We hardly see
what ground Messrs. Lippincott have for complaint
against Messrs. Harper. The Governments of
the two countries may, perhaps, be G

ntroLEoN AND HIS MAUSHALS.

It is stated on very good authority that General
Changarnier has placed his sword at the disposal of
the Emperor of the French in case of war. The
Spectator believes that the offer will not he accepted.
The difficulty of finding a general is the great co/Isl.
dcration which deters the Emperor from war.
The army will have a superior man ; but a great soldier
may prove a formidable rival. Pelissier very nearly did.
Changarnier was commander of the National Guard and
all the regular troops in Paris in 1849, and was the means of
preventing civil war in the streets of the capital. In the
events of the time his rile was a very important one. He
was deprived of his command on account of his hostility
to Louis Napoleon. Should he ever become commander of
a victorious army, he would, indeed, prove a dangerous
rival to the Emperor.

Minister of the Interior respecting-Ahe Milan conspiracy.
He did, indeed, say.that the persons arrested were of the
lowest order, and that 'the city had no share in the move-
ments ; but he added;that arms andKlocuments had been
seized, proving that the direction., of the plot was "in
some other country." This, of course, refers to Mazzini,
who resides on Swiss territory at Dugan°. The Minister
further stated that this conspiracyfseemed to be connected
in a serious manner with other plots of the kind. There
were still people in Italy who believed that the country
might be made the theatre of revolt. It appears, then,
that the Government looks upon this conspiracy as a very
grave one. One of the persons arrested at Milan is said
to be an Englishman named Nathan.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT.

The Marquis Townshend is bringing in a bill to
extend the provisions of the Contagious Diseases
Act to London. This is a most important step.
Hitherto the Act has been confined to certain sea-
port and garrison towns. The promoters of it declare
that its operation has been most beneficial. They
are now sanguine that like good results would attend
the operation of the Act in the metropolis. Should
they prevail upon Parliament to agree with them,
there can be little doubt but that the measure will,
before long, b© applied to the whole country.

THE BILL FOR THE ABOLITION OF SISTERS-IN-LAW.
The advantages of the measure which the Solicitor-
General has christened with the above name are
being very extensively advertised in some of the daily
papers. Tho expense of the advertisements is
defrayed by a wealthy City merchant, who having
transgressed the law by marrying his deceased wife's
sister, is anxious to legitimise the children of his
second marriage.

CLERGYMEN IN PARLIAMENT.

Lord Henry Thynne hit a very palpable blot in
our legislation when he asked his question relative
to the exclusion of clergymen from the House of
Commons. No one would wish them to be there as
clergymen ; and although in Norway parochial
clergy are constantly elected members of the Stor-
thing, it would be very undesirable that the clergyman
in charge of a parish should imitate the example of a
bishop in charge of a see, and spend half his time in
London. But the fact that a man has once entered
holy orders ought to be no bar to his entering the
House of Commons, should he at any time give up
parochial work. For instance, there is ex-Professor
Rogers, who has been ordained, it is true, but who is
either a politician or nothing, and who, being a very
able man, would be an acquisition to the Legislature.
But the door is closed against him, although if he
had happened to be a Dissenting minister he might,
as Mr. Richard, the new member for Merthyr, has
done, have entered without difficulty. Surely it is
somewhat paradoxical that official connection with
the State Chur h should limo facto disqualify for
service in the state.
NAVAL AND MILITARY ITEMS.

The United Service Gazette understands that the
price to be paid to a lieutenant, R.N., on giving up
his commission,
time of
is 2120 for each year of actual ser-
vice from the
entering. The Army and
Navy Gazette says that Major-General Sir Edward
Wetherall is likely to be offered a divisional com-
mand in the Bengal Presidency. It will be remem-
bered that this officer was appointed Under-Secretary
for Ireland by Mr. Disraeli at the time that the last
Administration was in articido mortis, and that the
present Government said they should take the
earliest opportunity of transferring Sir Edward
to a post more suited to a military man. The
same paper denies the statement that Lord
Northbrook's committee bad made a report
reversing some of the principal recommen-
dations of Lord Strathnairn's committee, and says
that no report has been made. The Gazette believes
that General Stisted will be appointed to the com-
mand of the troops in China and Japan, and under-
stands that Rear-Admiral Loring will succeed Rear-
Admiral Wellesley at Portsmouth Dockyard, an
appointment which our contemporary expects will
cause great dissatisfaction.
The Broad AMU, believes that one result of Lord
Northbrook's committee will be the re-union of the
Audit Department with the Accountant-General's
Department at the War Office. The Duke of Cam-
bridge has been examined at great length, and it is
understood that the committee's labours are drawing
to a close. The same paper states that "Dover
House, Whitehall, has been purchased by the
Government, and it is not improbable that it will
form part of the range of buildings in connection
with the Horse Guards, when that department is
amalgamated with the War Office." From the same
source we learn the very serious, such, it is feared,
hopeless illness of Captain Colin Campbell, and the
recovery of Sir S. Dacres, who will probably take
command of the North-American squadron before
long.

THE ALABAMA QUESTION.

The London correspondent of the Scotsman says
that the -.great obje3t of our Government at the
present time is to secure silence in Parliament with
regard to the Alabama question. Lord Clarendon's
speech was so cautious and so discreet that Lord
Cairns, who had intended to speak- on the matter,
decided to keep silence. It is possible that Sir 11.
Bulwer also may be induced to refrain. Mr. Motley's
instructions are not to reopen the question. It is
believed by the best diplomatic judges that the
AMericans will neither settle the Alabama question
nor revive it. They like to keep up an even sore,
and they are indisposed, after the late exhibition
made in their name, to press the Alabama question
upon us till it has got, probably some time hence,
into a new phase.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND
UNIFORMITY.

- - -
Archbishop Tait has, in reply to an address from
the Rural Deanery of Shoreham, made some remarls
upon Ritual and Uniformity. Ile says that, in his
opinion, the recent judgment- in " Martin v.
Maclionochie " affected only the precise actions
referred to in that suit, the lighting of candles and
prostration during consecration. He believes that it
would be very unwise to lay down one invariable
rule with regard to Ritual for all congregations.
Even if such uniformity were attainable, more might
be lest than gained by enforcing it. He adds :
" It has been the wisdom of the Church of England to
leave much in such matters to individual discretion, in-
sisting only that all things should be done decently and
in order, and providing that if any question arises in a
parish as to the use of such discretion, recourse shall
be had to the bishop, subject to an appeal to the arch-
bishop if the bishop think fit, that thus steps may be
taken to• order and appease any difficulties; Where dis-
sensions have unfortunately arisen on such subjects
in our Church, I attribute this evil in a great measure to
the unwillingness of the parties who differ to have recourse
to this reference to authority prescribed by the Prayer-
book. But it is through this careful attention to each case
c.niidered on its own merits, and not by laying down
fixed general rules which the Church has not invested him
with authority to enforce, that a bishop is empowered to
settle such matters concerning public worship as those to
which your address alludes."

LIVERPOOL.

- -
A " great Conservative demonstration against the
Gladstone Robbery Bill" was held on Saturday afternoon
in a field near the Hall-lane, Liverpool, on the eastern
outskirts of the town. It was announced that the
Birkenhead Orangemen would assemble at the pier
head, and thence march in procession. The procession from
the pier head was stopped by the police, and the Orange.
men had to walk to the field in groups. Before 4 o'clock
crowds were collected on: the field, and by the time
for commencing the proceedings (5 o'clock) it was
estimated that 10,000 persons were present, this
number being afterwards considerably increased, and
about six o'clock, when the meeting was at its height, the
police authorities estimated the numbers at 20,000. The
Standard estimates the total numbers at 30,000. A large
platform was erected for the chairman, speakers, and
leading members of the committee, some of whom flaunted
Orange favours. Several large lorries were placed in
the field to act as platforms if required, and these
were all called into use, there being four sets of
orators at one time. There was considerable delay before
the proceedings commenced, during which the crowd
occupied themselves by sending forth heavy groans against
" Gladstone" and " Bright," and one Scotchman distin-
guished himself by shouting out curses against the Duke
of Argyll. Mr. Edward Whitley, an ex-mayor, took the
chair on the principal platform. Ile is a very popular man
amongst the " Conservative working men " of Liverpool,
and he has displayed great tact in working up the Orange
element to serve the interests of his party. The speakers
included Mr. Burland, the chairman of the Liverpool
Working Men's Conservative Association ; Mr. Charles
Groves, and several working men. One of the speakers,
a Mr. Williams, a member of the Working Men's
Association, read a poem composed for the occa-
si-Jn, after " Scots, wha hae." Throughout good
humour prevailed. The resolutions passed declared
that the meeting regarded with indignation and
alarm the proposed measure for the disestablishment
and disendowment of the Irish Church, as subversive of
our time-honoured constitution in Church and State,
injurious to the cause of Protestant truth in the United
Kingdom, and destructive to the security of the rights of
property, and appealed to the House of Lords to reject
the Irish Church Bill, inasmuch as the opinion of the
country has not been expressed upon it through the con-
stituencies, and that a measure involving so revolutionary
a change in the constitution of the State should not be
allowed to become law without more mature consideration.
A petition to Parliament based on the resolutions was
also agreed to.
