ELKERTON RECTORY: being Part the
Second of Twenty Years In the Church.

By the Rev. JAMES PYCROPT, B.A.

" The refined drollery and quiet satire which runs through
the narrative remind one of Sidney Smith. Few absolute
novels are half so captivating ; we earnestly recommend it."
—St. James's Chronicle.

" The cheerfulness of an educated and well-balanced mind
throws a genial light and warmth over the whole book, and
renders its perusal no less attractive than suggestive and im-
proving. We have seldom laid down any work with so lively
a feeling of sympathetic esteem towards its author." —The
Press.

TILE ARMY.

A War-office order was received on Tuesday by
the authorities of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich,
announcing the intended visit of his Serene High-
ness the Prince of Lichtenstein on the following
day, and requesting that every facility might be
offered for his inspection of the establishment
throughout. The visit was nevertheless 'deferred
until yestezday, when the Prince, having travelled
by the 12 o'clock train from London, arrived, unae-
companied,,at the Arsenal gate, and was escorted
by Inspector King to the office of Col. Tulloh, su-
perintendent of the royal carriage department,
where the inspection commenced. He was subse-
quently joined by Capt. Gordon, and conducted
through the vast range of military stores under his
direction, and was finally received by Mr. Ander-
son, superintendent of the royal gun factories, who
accompanied him through the numerous branches of
the Armstrong gun department, where he spent up-
wards of an hour and a half. His Serene Highness
expressed great earnestness to behold the manifold
gradations employed in
forming the gun, boring, rifling &c

Mr. TURQUAND continued—Of course it was
clear, on the face of this statement, what were
the causes which had brought about the suspen-
sion of this house. But perhaps it would be thought
desirable that he should give the meeting some
outline of the progress of a?fairs which had even-
tually led to this suspension, He would not, how-
ever, carry them farther' back than the Ist
January, 1857. On that day he believed that this
firm was perfectly solvent, for the debts which
were now represented to be bad constituting such
a heavy portion of the liabilities, though they now
amounted to nearly XBOO,OOO, yet on the lst
January, 1857, they were no more than £365,000.
But since that period they had gradually gone on
increasing till they reached the immense sum he
had stated. Of course it would appear impossible
that Messrs. Laurence and Mortimore could rea-
sonably expect to have any way of relieving them-
selves from the heavy losses that they had thus
sustained. But he thought it right to mention
that there were two sources to which they looked
for replacement of these assets. The first was a
large asset on the estate of Mr. Vere H. Smith, of
Abergavenny. Mr. James Smith, who was a large
debtor to the firm, the firm of Messrs. Smith,
Patient, and Co., and Mr. Laurence, were all en-
titled to share in the residue of the estate of Mr.
Vere Smith, which was expected to realise to then
£lB,OOO each, and Mr. Laurence had reason to
believe that when these assets were realised the

PRINTING OF THE BIBLE.

Mr. BAINES inquired whether it was the intention of
the Government to take any measure to carry out the re-
commendation of the select committee on the Queen's prin-
ters' patent, namely, "that the patent of the Queen's prin-
ters, as far as relates to the printing of Bibles and New
Testaments, be not renewed, and that no exclusive privilege
of printing the sacred volume be allowed henceforth to
exist."

Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the exclusive privilege here-
tofore enjoyed by the Queen's printers, for the printing of
Bibles and Prayer books, had now ceased, and would not
be renewed. He thought, however, that under the compe-
tition with the university printers the price of the existing
editions of the Bible and the Liturgy was as low, and the
quality as good, as it was possible to expect. He proposed,
therefore, to make no practical change in the present sys-
tem.

ORANGE FLAGS IN IRELAND.

Mr. COGAN called attention to the late Orange distur-
bances in Ireland, and invoked Ministerial interposition to
put down the societies and illegal associations which pro
duced so much public perturbation, and, by acting upon
the magisterial bench and the jury panels, actually polluted
the source of justice in the country.
Mr. CARDWELL said that the attention of the Go-
vernment had already been directed to the late disturbances,
and intimated his intention to bring in a short bill during
the present session, in order to arm the Executive with
powers they did not at present possess.

THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1880.

The last act of the Wakefield Election threatens
to become something more than an Act, at least in
its theatrical sense. It is as if the sham swords
and pistols had suddenly been converted into
deadly weapons, and that the parties, instead of
being only playing at legal investigations, find
they are incurring legal penalties. Our readers,
doubtless, will remember the general character of
the evidence furnished to the Commissioners—evi-
dence, however, which was procured by the pros-
pect of legal immunity, on the single condition of
those who gave it " making a clean breast of it."
That, at least, was the understanding throughout
the whole country. By this means we obtained as
clear and full an account as we could wish of the
flowing forth of the streams of money from the
fountains, its course through bankers of high stand-
ing into the hands of the principal actual agents,
and finally of its passage in irrigating streams
over the whole constituency. It was bribery pic-
tured by pre-Raphaelites.
We need not recal the details; they appear, in-
deed, in our reports. But it is important indeed to
ponder over the rationale of the whole affair. The evi-
dence is obtained. It is in due course laid before the
House of Commons. It is of the same general cha-
racter as that which has come from other commis-
sions ; and we all knew it would be so. But the
commissioners have refused certificate of protection
from legal consequences to many persons, among
them to the two candidates themselves. The House
of Commons, in its zeal for purity, instructs the
Attorney-General to prosecute the uncertificated
parties, if be should think that a verdict could be
obtained against them. The Attorney-General
obeys. Then the Home becomes frightened at its
own virtue, and a Liberal and a Conserva-
tive candidate being both equally im-
plicated, Honourable Members on both
sides of the house beg the hon. and learned gen-
tleman to give up the prosecution. Very willingly,
he replies, if the House sees fit to pass a vote autho-
rising me to do so. If not, lam its servant, and
must obey its recorded orders. The House dares
not stultify itself—dares not openly interpose itself
as a screen between justice and the guilty. The
Prosecutions proceed, the evidence is clear, the Judge,
like the Attorney-General, adheres closely to the
duties of his
position, the jury to theirs, and the
verdict of g
guilty of a crime, the penalty for
which is fine and imprisonment—is recorded.
Thus far all is plain sailing, except that
momentary shaking of the sails in the
House of the Commons, which, however, did not
result in a tack, the house being
obliged to wear
before the strong breeze of
public opinion. Vet
that momentary hesitatim in its course did show un-
doubtedly that something was wrong.
And some-
thing is wrong. Regarding bribery, such as that
of all the boroughs which have yet come before the
royal inquisitors, as a disgraceful abuse and perver.
sion of our electoral privileges—as a crime—it is yet
earth more than in Eng..
felt, and in no country on

that his client had been guilty of bribery, and under
his direction the defendant had agreed to withdraw
his plea and'plead guilty.,

REGINA 'V. MARgLAND.

This information charged the, defendant with
bribing a person named Catley, and offering a bribe
to a person called Newsome, to induce them to vote
for Leatham.

The same counsel appeared in this as in the last
case for the Crown. The prisoner defended himself.
At the conclusion of evidence,
The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and
finally found the defendant not guilty on the first
and third counts, but guilty on the second.

REGINA V. NOBLE.
This was another ee officio. information filed by
the Attorney-General against Godfrey Noble for
having offered bribes to Mr. Spate and Mr. Ing-
ham, voters at Wakefield.
The same counsel appeared for the Crown; and
Mr. Digby Seymour defended the prisoner.
John Spate and his wife, Mary Spate, and the
wife of Ingham, gave evidence of bribery charged.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty on the first
count, and not guilty on the second. •

During the course of this case the learned judge
stated that he had great doubts whether the-second
count, on which alone Marsland had just before
been found guilty, was not bad on the face of it.
He doubted, from a careful consideration, of the
statute, whether a promise or a payment to a third
party could be held to be a valuable consideration
within the meaning of the act so as to found a
charge of bribery.

Majesty's Government, it would not go beyond that which
he had stated on a former occasion, namely, that ships of
the line and other ships should be sent to the coast of Syria,
with a view to prevent the renewal of those massacres ; if
the admiral should think it necessary, he would be em-
powered to land marines on those coasts, but not to go be-
yond the coast. With regard to the papers to be produced,
they were printed and nearly ready for production. They
were only in fact narratives given by the British Consuls of
what had taken place in Syria. He had no objection to
produce copies of the despatches to which the hon. gentle-
man referred.

CHAMPION FOUR-OARED RACE,
GRIND HEAT.

The great feature of the day was the final heat for this
great honour and prize, and for some time previous to the
si art the excitement was immense. As the Thames crew
showed themselves, they were loudly cheered by the whole
of the assemblage, and the same honour was paid to the
other competitors, but in a subdued manner. The Thames
crew were awarded the Middlesex side (the position given
Clasper's crew yesterday), the Newcastle crew the centre,
and the Manchester and Tyne the Surrey side of the river.
The Newcastle crew seemed rather displeased with the
position assigned to them, but the arrangements were
strictly adhered to, and the preparatory gun was fired
without discussion. In a few minutes after Mr. Casamajor
was rowed to the starting-point, and without the slightest
delay gave the order "Start," and instantly the oars of
the men dashed into the water. In the first two or three
strokes the Manchester and Tyne crew seemed to have a
slight lead, but Clasper's crew seemed determined to wrest
the temporary honour from them. After a few very
desperate pulls, Clasper's crew brought their
boat so near that of the Manchester men that
a foul occurred, but not of a very serious character. Trif-
ling, however, as the incident was it was seized by the
Putney crew, and away they went with a clear lead of
about two boat's length in advance.

At starting the Putney crew were the favourites, and
having secured the lead, made them still greater.
After a most exciting race the winning point (Hammer-
smith-bridge) was reached in the following order :
The Thames Crew (Putney) (White) 1
Thomas Pocock, Joseph Wise, Thomas White, Henry
Kelly (stroke). W. Peters (coxswain).
A. P. Lonsdale's crew (Manchester and Tyne).. (Yellow) 2
J. G. Taylor, T. Matfin, H. Ault, M. Taylor (stroke),
T. Harrison (coxswain).

Lord Kilmorey's Crew (Newcastle) .. (Blue) 3
J. IL Clasper, Edwin Winship, R. Chambers, Henry
Clasper (stroke), Robert Clasper (coxswain).
According to the rules of the Thames Subscription
Club, fouling on the part of any person or persons engaged
in a race disqualifies them for any prize whatever, but the
committee being of opir ion that the foul was unintentional,
ordered them a small sum from .the funds of the so-
ciety, but not the sum to which the third boat would have
been entitled.

races precludes us from giving the results.

Author of " Out on the World,":&c., &c.
" ' The Long Run' is decidedly a brilliant sketch of life, and
an effective exposition of some momentous phases of human
nature."—The Evening Sun, June 28.
" The scene of the novel is chiefly laid in Ireland ; and, as
picturesque description is evidently the author's forte, he has
ample opportunity of revelling in it. . . . . The dialogues
are infused with much dramatic spirit, and are quite up to
the mark, while the style is otherwise fluent and energetic."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The subject of coast defences being now
of great interest with the public, I am induced to
trespass upon you in consequence of reading Lord
Palmerston's proposition for erecting fortifications •
for the defence of our coasts and dockyards, in
which his lordship refers to the fortifications of
Cronstadt having baffled our officers, " gallant as
they were, and strong as were their fleets." Allow
me to remark that their mode of attack was of the
old school, which consists of blowing away thou-
sands of tons of small pieces of iron and incendiary
materials at a range more noisy than dangerous.
Had my system of warfare been adopted against
the Russian fortifications our Admirals would have
been enabled to take up the necessary positions for
destroying the works unmolested by the enemy's
fire.

And I may add that the broadside of a three-
decker, or ship of the line (which constitutes the
most powerful battery known), would, under this.
system of attack, crush the strongest sea-face forti-
fications in Europe.
Under these circumstances, would it not be de-
sirable to pause before studding our coasts with for-
tifications ? as there are many accessible points
which may be defended by hulks suitably armed,
and moored behind a flexible floating breakwater,
forming a safe harbour, and affording excellent
training schools for Marine Artillery, and a more
profitable application than breaking them up, or
allowing them to lumber our dockyards, where, in
the event of an attack with my incendiary projec-
tiles, they would afford the elements of our own
destruction.
War has now become a race of invention, and the

nation that is most distinguished for fertility of re-
source and use of new materials and expedients
will be the most powerful in attack and defence.—
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
July 26, 1860. J. MACINTOSH.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS--(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Giustiniani's Naturalisation Bill was read a second time.
TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL.
Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on going
into committee on this bill, he should move that it be re-
ferred to a select committee.
THE PRIVATE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Lord BROUGHAM said last night he gave notice of his
intention of submitting a number of resolutions to their
lordships, with a view of expediting the private business of
Parliament. Owing to that notice having been placed after
the orders of the day, he was prevented bringing it forward
at an early part of the evening. When the time arrived he
intended to submit the resolutions to them. He would
not further allude to them then, but he begged
to draw the particular attention of the noble lord (Eversley)
the late Speaker of the House of Commons, a nobleman who
had discharged the high duties of his late important
office in the highest manner, because he thought they
were calculated to forward the business of Parlia-
ment ; not only in this house but in the other house, which
seemed to be fast becoming a p!c....3e of interminable
talk, and nothing but talk. The noble and learned lord
concluded by moving the resolutions be printed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would treat the
motion as a notice of the noble and learned lord's inten-
tion.
THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.

Lord EBURY presented a petition from the directors of
the South-Western Railway Company, complaining of
the charges that had been made against them that
they refused to carry out an agreement they had en-
tered into. The petitioners thought that the noble lords
who had made the statements were under misapprehension
on the subject, and they prayed the house would afford
them some epportunity of establishing the facts alleged in
their petition. The noble lord moved that the petition be
presented.
The motion was agreed to.
London, England, 1860-07-28

MILITIA. BILL.

Earl DE GREY moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to effect certain alterations
and improvements in the militia. The best
effects were anticipated from this bill, and he
confidently hoped the militia would soon recover its tem-
porary depression, and again become a most valuable force.
After a few observations from the Earl of MALAIES/URY,

Lord HARDINGE asked whether the Government in-
tended to grant any increased allowance to the non-com.
missioned officers on the permanent staff.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought that much good
would be effected if the Government were to consolidate the
whole of the laws relating to the militia.
Earl DE GREY agreed with the noble duke
that much good would be effected by consolidat-
ing the militia, and Government had the sub-
ject under their consideration, and he hoped in the
next session of Parliament to be enabled to proceed with
that object. With respect to the question of the other
noble lord (Hardinge), he had the happiness to inform
him that it was the intention of the Government to
provide increased rates of pay for the permanent staff of the
militia.

given notice :—" That it be an instruction to the committee
that all appointments to military commands in India (the
commands-in-chief alone excepted), and all staff appoint-
ments, whether military, naval, or medical, be vested in
the Governor-General in Council and other constituted

On the motion of Mr. DANDY SEYMOUR,
The debate was again adjourned to Monday next.

NATIONAL DEFENCES.

Mr. PAPILLON asked the Secretary of State for War
how soon the new barracks at Colchester were likely to be
commenced, and within what period he hoped to have them
completed ; whether he intended to put in order and arm
the twenty-ono towers between St. Osyth's Point and Ald-
borough, not one of which was at present armed ; and
generally, what steps he proposed to take for the purpose of
rendering more.efficient the armament and defences of that
part of the east coast.
Mr. HERBERT said a great portion of the money taken
this year would be absorbed in the purchase of land. The
barracks would be commenced in the course of the financial
year, and he hoped that eighteen months or so would put
them into a habitable state. In the estimates this year a
sum would be taken for the defence of Harwich harbour ;
and the coast defences generally were gradually being put
into a state of repair; but the Government did not under-
Stake to make a fortress of England, so as to prevent the
landing of a hostile force upon any part of her coast. (Hear.)
