MESSRS. FENWICK AND SCHNEIDER.

It will be remembered that a little while ago
Messrs. Fenwick and Schneider, the two rich Liberals
who were unseated for bribery at Lancaster, were
restored to the commission of the peace. This pro-
ceeding called forth protests which have not been in
vain. The Spectator announces that "in deference
either to the protests of the press, or more probably
to the more powerful protests of some leading
Minister's conscience, that great mistake has been
rectified by a second removal of their names."-

1 ADVERTISEMENT. I—Holloway's1—Holloway's Ointment and Pills are
peculiarly adapted for that large class of mankind which
can neither afford the time to be ill nor the money to Pal
the doctor for a cure. Armed with those twin medica-
ments, and guided by the directions for using them, the
ailing can infallibly stave off the threatening illness, th°
afflicted can with certainty remove his diseased condition.
External or internal maladies, acute or chronic disorders,
slight or dangerous ailments, yield to the specific virtues
one or both of the matchless preparations will greatly
exercise. The ointment is as innocent and benign as it IS
cooling and healing. The pills are as harmless and com
forting as they are purifying and corrective, aperitive and
strengthening.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able Luildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend apon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme

Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by

lIIt. ODGER.

The enthusiasm on behalf of 11Ir. Odger's candida-
ture for Southwark is assuming strange proportions.
The clergy are now called upon to assist in the return
of the working man. The Rev. R. Parrott, vicar of
Amwell, invites his brethren to join in the good work.
"Mr. Odger seems to me to possess just the qualities to
make an excellent, hard working member of Parlia-
ment, and I will cheerfully add my mite towards
defraying the expenses, which must, I fear, be neces-
sarily very heavy, attending his candidature and
election. I would, therefore, propose that a vigorous
effort should be made to return that gentleman free
of expense."

WORKHOUSE INQUESTS.

The St. Pancras Guardians have on more than one
occasion complained of the numerous inquests held
by Dr. Lankester on deaths occurring in their famous
workhouse. Many of these inquiries, they affirmed,
were entirely unnecessary, and with that refinement
fbr which they have guinod an extensive reputation,
they hinted something about fees. A formal
complaint on the subject was sent to the Home
office, and was submitted by Mr. Bruce to Dr. Lan-
kester himself. That officer has replied that the mis-
management of the St. Pancras workhouse is a suffi-
cient answer to the plea that the inquests held by
him were superfluous. Moreover, the coroner holds
that "it would be for the advantage of the poor in
all our workhouses throughout the country that in-
quests should be held in every case of death, as it has
now been demonstrated by the case of St.
Pancras, that no inspection, however good,
and no exercise of central authority, how-
ever able, can prevent the most gross abuses.'
Of course there must be an exercise of discretion in
these matters. It would be unfortunate if parishes
were to be burdened with unnecessary expense; but
it would be worse if paupers were killed off without
inquiry.

PAYING TAXES.

The Pall Nall Gazette will see nothing merry about
Christmas, but that we have all to pay our heavy taxes at
this season ; and our contemporary supplies Mr. Lowe
with a hint or two for quickening the taxpayer who is
behind. In some parts of the Continent it is the habit to
allow the taxpayer the option of paying his duties in instal-
ments, monthly, quarterly, or hall-yearly as he chooses, or
in a lump. He is bound to take the money himself to the
tax-office, and if he makes default in a single instalment,
the whole amount is at once exacted. To this plan we
may add, as a suggestion of our own, that to quicken the
movements of tax-payers either a discount for "prompt
cash," as the shopkeepers call it, should be allowed, or,
what is much the same thing, an addition should be made
for interest on arrears.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributior.s
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

A PROTEST AGAINST THE LAW.

Mr. W. F. Clark, the late Public Orator at Cambridge,
has written a most important letter to the Bishop of Ely.
He makes, with pain, the announcement that he has been
driven to conclusions incompatible with the declaration he
made at his ordination. "For instance (he says) in the
Ordering of Deacons,' a candidate is asked whether he
`unfeignedly believes all the Canonical Scriptures of the
Old and New Testament.' This question, taking thewords in
their natural sense, I could not now conscientiously answer in
the affirmative. In the Ordering of Priests,' several of the
questions addressed by the bishop to the deacons evi-
dently assume the infallibility of the Scriptures. The
same doctrine is implied in the 6th and Bth Article, and
in the 36th canon. Ino longer think it tenable. Some
portions of the " Canonical Scriptures" now seem to me
to be of doubtful genuineness, and others to contain
erroneous statements in history, and questionable teach-
ing in theology and morals. There are passages in the
Liturgy, which I cannot now repeat with full assent. I
cannot stand beside the altar and say in the face of the
congregation, " God spake these words," when I am con-
vinced that He did not speak them. Under these circum-
stances, I beg to signify to you my desire to relinquish the
position of a clergyman and to resume that of a layman.
Whatever laws, written or unwritten, may prevent me
from doing this, I protest against as being iniquitous and
immoral, because it conflicts with the natural right and
bounden duty of every man all his life long, to search for
and proclaim the truth."

THE AMERICAN CENSUS.

Congress is preparing for the census which is to be taken
in 1370. The representation in America depends upon the
-poi:ulation, and many changes will be made after the next
estimate has been taken. The United States will most
probably be shewn to contain about 40 millions. The
West and South-west States are expected to have the
majority in the representation, having increased so largely
of late. This change may be for the better, in lessening
the power of the Protectionists and improving the legisla-
tion on the tariff and tax laws. According to the estimate
already made, it is calculated that there has been au
increase of 8 millions in the population in ten years, and
an increase of 91 per cent. in property valuation.

SEXVICE CHANGES.

One thing becones more and more clear as the
proposals for the reductions of the army progress
unto completeness. His Royal Highness George
Duke of Cambridge is not a free consentient to them.
He deprecated their the other day in his speech at
Sandhurst; and continually showing. cause
against " too muth reduction?' He is still
very strongly opposed to remove from the
Horse Guards to the War Office ; and, if report be
correct, is using all his influence to prevent the reduc-
tion of certain regiments against whom the fiat has
gone forth. His Royal Highness has, it is stated,
applied to be examined before Lord Northbrook's
committee, that he may protest against the policy of
the Government.

The reductions, however, seem likely to go on not-
withstanding. Those in the Line are, according to
the Broad Arrow, to consist of one regiment of
cavalry, one troop in each regiment of cavalry, one
colonial iegiment, the 3rd West India, and two com-
panies in each battalion of infantry abroad ; the rank
and file of each battalion at home to be reduced from
560 to 500 men ; and all the depot battalions. As a
result of the changes in India, no cavalry regiments
are to be sent to that country throughout 1870.
There are other and very important alterations.
Perhaps the most important is the announcement
that the royal warrant is ready to issue for the forma-
tion of an army service corps. The members of this
new body are to be selected only from amongst the
non-commissioned officers and privates of the Military
Train, Commissariat Staff Corps, Military Store Staff
Corps, and from the Purveyor's branch of the Army
Hospital Corps. Non-commissioned officers will be
Y
of volunteering. It is stated also that changes
transferred in the rank the
of importance are about to take place in the convict
held at the period
service ; also that the active list of naval paymasters
is to be considerably reduced by the retirement of
some of the senior paymasters and the shelving of
some of the " Q. H. B.'s;." and that the medical staff
is to be made less expensive to the country by some
of its members being " requested " to retire upon
half-pay. This latter report, however, is discredited
by the Army and Navy Gazette.

A FRF,..NCII WORK.

The arrespondanee Liberate relates a curious story of a
new work which has lately appeared in Paris called " The
Jesuits and the Inquisition." A parish of the Cote-d' Or
had ordered some copies of the book, and the priest was
so indignant that he denounced it from
.the pulpit, and
threatened those who read it with excommunication.
The Commissary of Police went round to those who had
copies of the work, and succeeded in carrying off eleven
of the fifteen which were in the place. The Parisian
publisher immediately demanded the restoration of the
books, and the Commissary gave them up in consequence
of his protest. Shortly after the publisher received a
letter from the Commissaryof Police in his own neighbour-
hood, enjoining him to call at his bureau, and advising
him to bring a list of the inhabitants of the parish
who had subscribed to the publication of the work
in question. The publisher has taken no notice of
this appeal, and will not conform to the Commissary's
request.

Rerresentatives passed it unanimously, but it
was objected to in the Higher Assembly, cn the
ground that it; was an inexpedient measure, and that
the prisons would be overcrowded if flogging was
abolished. The Minister of Justice declared that the new
Constitution gareequal rights to all classes of the popula-
tion, and that the I uuishment cf flogging could not
be retained, unless the nobles were made liable to it.
So much indignation was caused by this speech that
the consideration of the bill was indefinitely postponed.

TURKEY AND EGYPT.

The Levant Herald rejoices greatly over the firmness
of the Porte and the submission of the Viceroy, and de-
clares that," morally, the victory thus gained is far greater
than in the case of Crete and Greece." There can be no doubt
however, that Sir 11. Elliott put on the diplomatic
high pressure to which the Khedive succumbed. It was
evident at the last moment that Napoleon would not help
him with a man or a ship. Still less would England or
Austria interfere t:) save him ; while Russia and
Prussia stood altogether aloof from the quarrel.
But it may be doubted whether the Viceroy,
if left to his own ambitious impulses, would not have risked
everything, and refused obedience to the firman, had not
Sir Henry Elliot been in Cairo when it arrived. The
Levant Herald repeats its conviction that in thus appearing
to accept the Porte's terms, the Viceroy is but patching
up the very hollowest truce. It believes the
concession to be only a case of reculer pour tnieux muter
and advises that the breechloaders and ironclads should at
once be ordered up, and a strict watch kept over the fiscal

a lministration, wLich would prevent the attempt to buy
from the fel!ahs the amounts now raised by foreign loans.

PORTUGAL.

The Daily lews Contradicts the report that the Por-
tuguese army intended to make a political demonstration.
"We have been assured, on very good authority, that no
such idea was ever entertained, nor have any symptoms
of the kind appeared ; and that the Portuguese army has
manifested a proper subordination to authority and respect
to the law."

The contradictiry statements about the deputation

any course. Th 4 interview is said to have dis-
couraged the supporters of an increased capitation
grant. They were expecting, probably, a full con-
fession on the part of the Government that wrong
had been done in the withholding of money from
the volunteers, andlooking for a free offer of all they
would demand. listead of adopting this tone Mr.
Cardwell spoke in a very different sense. He de-
manded increased
efficiency for more pay. But the
Broad Arrow points out that if the service is alive it
may work this and some other concessions, so that
they shall serve al the purposes of an increased
grant, and at the same time there will be a lever by
which to press on the men to a higher class of mili-
tary attainment.

RETRENCHMENT IN ITALY.

Rumour is busy with the declarations of Signor Lanza
in the Italian Chamber respecting the necessity of cutting
down the expenses of the army and navy. The Word
says that the King has consented to the disband-
ment of an entire class, that is to say, of about
40,000 men, which would reduce the expenditure by
about fifteen millions of francs. Tho Turin Gazette, more-
over, states that the reduction of a squadron per regiment
of cavalry, and the suppression of a regiment of artillery
are in contemplation. Some such proceeding offers the
only hope of getting over the difficulties which now beset
the Italian Government. Retrenchment there must be,
and retrenchment is possible only in the military and
naval departments.

STRIKE lIY CUILDREN.

A curious story is told by the Echo du Nord of the
children employed in the cotton and cloth mills at
`Verviers, in Belgium. It seems these poor little things
were compelled to work from five in the morn-
ing until ten at night! A strike was resolved
upon, the conditions being that the children should
begin at six and leave off at seven—hours which are still
excessive. The strike was accompanied by the usual pro-
cessions and speeches, and was fortunately successful, the
masters giving in after four days' opposition, and the chil-
dren, 500 to 600 in number, resumed work.

TILE WAR DEPARTMENT.

The report of the Secretary of War shows the expendi-
tures of the War Department for the year ending the
13th of June, 1869, to be $80,614,042, of which $23,882,310
was disbursed in the payment of debts contracted during
the war, and is not chargeable to current army expenses.
Pis estimate of $34,531,031 for the expenses of the army
for the next fiscal year is as low as it is believed can be re-
lied on. The estimates of Bureau officers have been scru-
tinised and reduced wherever it has been deemed practic-
able. lf, however, the condition of the country should be
such by the beginning of the next fiscal year as to admit
of a greater concentration of troops, the appropriation
asked for will not be expended. The appropriations esti-
mated for river and harbour improvements and for forti-
fications are submitted separately. Whatever amount Con-
gress may deem proper to appropriate for these purposes
will be expended.
-The recommendation of the General of the Army that
appropriations be made for the forts at Boston, Portland,
New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco,
if for no others, is concurred in. I also ask your special
attention to the recommendation of the General command-
ing the Military Division of the Pacific for sale of tho Seal
Islands of St. Paul and St. George, Alaska Territory, and
suggest that it either be complied with or that legislation
bo had for the protection of the seal fisheries from which
a re ienue ghoul 1 bo derived.

The report of the Secretary of War contains a synopsis
of the reports of heads of bureaus, of the commanders of
ndt;thry atvi.tons, anti of the Digtrlet3 of mio.;”
sippi, and Texas, and the report of the Goneral of the
Army in full. The recommendations therein contained
have been well considered, and are submitted for your
action. I however call special attention to the recommen-
dation of the Chief of Ordnance for the sale of arsenals
and lands no longer of use to the Government; also to the
recommendation of the Secretary of War, that tit act of
the 3d of March, 1869, prohibiting promotions and appoint-
ments on the Staff Corps of the army be repealed. The
extent of the country to be garrisoned and the number of
military posts to be occupied are the same-with a rod need
army as with a largo one. Tho number of staff officers
required is more dependent upon the latter than the for-
mer condition.

TIIE INSURRECTION IN DALMATIA.

The Eastern Budget publishes statements from its cor-
respondents in Constantinople and in Herzegovina, which
are not altogether satisfactory.• The Turkish military
dignitaries all speak of a conflict with Montenegro as
inevitable, and regard that State as tho prime mover
in the Dalmatian affair. A letter from Scutari, in Altania,
seems to confirm this account, since the new governor of
that province is to be Dervish Pasha, well known for his
campaign against Montenegro in 1862. The present governor
of Albania, Essad Pasha, who has been appointed President of
the military council, is convinced that the Dalmatian insur-
rection would have been crushed long ago if it had not been
supported from abroad, and this assistance he believes to
have been given by Montenegro. The Governor of
Podgoritza sa, s that he heard the women in the Monte-
negrinvillage of Pipori wailing, according to the
fashion
of their country, for relations who had perished
in the insurrection. The Governor-General of Bosnia has
arrived at l‘lostAr, in Herzegovina, to inspect tho troops oa
the frontier, in order to prevent tho Dalmatian outbreak
from spreading to Turkish territory. The frontier forts
have been put in repair, and provided with ammunition.
The Mahornedan Bosnians are hostile to thein.snrgents, but
the Christians are openly favourable.

NOTES ON IRELAND.

Do we in England understand Ireland ? It
would seem not. The English press—Liberal
and Conservative—is ever ready to lay each
crime committed over the water at the door of the
priesthood. So marked has this been that the Dublin
Evening Mail—whose Orange tint is of a pretty
deep die—has come to the rescue, and protests
against this continual charge against the Boman
Catholic ministry. The Mail complains, too, that
the English papers have assumed the murder of Mr.
Baker to be an " agrarian outrage " committed by a
given man. Of the one fact or the other not a tittle
of evidence has yet been presented.

When Liberalism descends into partisanship, it
becomes false to its own principles. The new
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has, of course, had
to deal with several Dublin tradesmen to prepare the
Castle of the city for his residence. The journal
which is supposed to be the leader of Irish Liberal
opinions has amused itself by finding out the
political opinions, &c., of the citizens whom Lord
Spencer has " honoured with orders." One
of them is not sufficiently " Liberal " for our con-
temporary, and the noble earl is assailed for
dealing with him. By implication Liberals are
directed to deal exclusively with their own party
men.

The judges have heard an application on behalf
of Mr. Pim to dismiss the Hon. Mr. Plunkett's peti-
tion against Mr. Phil's return for Dublin. Mr.
Plunkett claims the seat ; but Mr. Pim alleges that
as a law officer of the Crown he can have no right
to it, being disqualified as holding a position under
Government. The judges held that they had no
jurisdiction to try the case, the question being one to
be decided on the trial of the petition itself.

THAMES.

IMPORTANT CONVICTION OF THREE NOTORIOOS
THIEVES. —Michael Macarthy, aged 17 years, Thos.
Riley, 18, and John Mahoney, 17, were brought
before Mr. Paget charged with being suspected
persons, found loitering in Cable-street and Rose"
wary-lane, Whitechapel, for the purpose of corn'
witting felony. There was another charge against
Mahoney for highway robbery, with violence, 00
Boxing-pay, in Christian-street, St. George'
in-the-East, and that case was first heard.
The prosecutor, Henry Hessen, could not
possibly swear that Mahoney was the person
who knocked him down and robbed him of blg
watch. He was very much like the thief. There
was no evidence in addition to Hassell's statement,
and Mr. Paget said it would be useless to coiniulb
him for trial on such a deposition, and discharged
him on the charge of highway robbery. It Was
then proved by Childs, Cowley, and Foster, de'
tectives of the H division of police, that the
three prisoners belonged to a daring gang 01'
ruffians, who had committed many daring
robberies in the streets. Some of them bad
been convicted and sentenced to penal servitude,
and a prominent member of this hord of despera"
does was Richard Keating, who was committed for
trial on Friday by Mr. Paget for assaulting Alr°'
Page in North-East Passage, Wellclose-square,
and robbing her of a gold watch. Macarthy had
been twice convicted of felony, and on one occasion
was sentenced to six months' imprisonment 50"
hard labour. All the prisoners were watched 131
the three police officers on Friday night. Tbef
followed and bustled four or five sailors, and would
have robbed one if Childs and Cowley had Pei
pounced upon them and secured two. The thlro
was caught by Foster, a smart little fellow, 'OO
tripped him up and kept him down until assistane
arrived.

Mr. Paget expressed his satisfaction with the
conduct of the police on this occasion, and said the
streets were unsafe for respectable persons, sailer,
and others, owing to the daring and lawless col 3,
duct of powerful bands of ruffians and thieves.
convicted the prisoners as rogues and vagabond°;
and sentenced them to be imprisoned for three
months with hard labour.
