ELECTION OF BISHOPS.

The Law Journal holds that as the function of the
Dean and Chapter in the matter of electing bishops is
purely formal they can incur no responsibility as to
the character of prelates. The law on the subject is
very clear. The Act (2.5 Henry VIII., c. 20) sets
forth that the Sovereign may grant a license to the
Dean and Chapter to elect an Archbishop or Bishop ;
that with the license is to be sent a letter missive,
-..ontaining the name of the person to be elected; that
he person so named is to be elected " and none
other;" that if the election is delayed for twelve
Mays after the delivery of the letter missive, the
sovereign can nominate by letters patent under the
Great Seal. If, therefore, Dr. Temple is unorthodox,
Rio blame can attach to the Dean and Chapter for
electing him ; whilst on the other hand, if they refuse

:o con -firm the Premier's nomination, they clearly
break the law. This the legal paper thinks they
ought not to do ; but if they cannot comply with the
law without violating their consciences troy ought to
resign their posts. •

THE RELEASE OF THE F.ENIAN
PRISONERS.

The promoters of the demonstration to bo held on
Sunday for the purpose of impressing Government with
the absolute necessity of at once taking steps to release the
Fenian prisoners, express the utmost confidence in the
value of the movement, and the manner in which
it will be carried out. Since the matter was
first broached, and a plan of action decided
upon, Mr. Gladstone has stated his views upon
the subject of the release of the Fenian prisoners in
a letter to one of the Amnesty Committees in Ireland. It
was thought that the Premier's expression of opinionwould
probably cause the demonstration to fall through, and the
letter was, in fact, made the basis of a motion to the effect
that the meeting should not be held, at a conclave of the sup-
porters of the movement on Thursday night, but it found
no seconder. All the arrangements for the demonstration
are now finally settled. The various local pro-
cessions will meet in Trafalgar-square at one
o'clock, and thence march away, preceded by
horsemen and bands, through Regent-street, Oxford-street,
and the Marble Arch to the "Reformers' Tree," in the
Park. Mr. Merriman takes the chair at three o'clock, and
around the platform will be specially reserved a space for
the representatives of the Press and the members of the
central committee Printed cards will be displayed when
the resolutions, of which there will be two, are
put, the one bearing the words, "In favour of the resolu-
tion," and the other "against." The committee, as at present
advised, are determined that the meeting shall be held,
and say that they have adopted measures such as must
ensure the proceedings passing off without anything like
unseemly disturbance.

A BISHOP OF OXFORD TESTIMONIAI.

The Bishop of Oxford, though about the best-
Asused bishop on the episcopal bench, is yet one of the
most popular. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear
that an attempt is to be made to present him with a
testimonial. Dr. Wilberforce's energy and force of
character have always excited resport, though his
aptitude for evading theological controversies—
not altogether an evil thing in a chief
pastor —;has been condemned by those with
whom his views do not agree. His rule over his
diocese has been an undoubted success ; and it is pro-
posed to recognise this fact by a penny or shilling
testimonial. The poor are invited to join with the
rich in doing honour to their bishop. As yet, how-
-61-ryr, nothing has been done ; a suggestion is made,
but nothing beyond. •

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The Warwickshire magistrates, in quarter sessions,
have appointed a committee from their own body to
enforce the provisions of the Cattle Diseases Act in
cash petty sessional division. Some remedial mea-
sures were much needed in this county. Only two
petty sessional divisions are now free from the foot
and mouth disease, which, in little more than a
month, has assailed 2,565 cattle. Sixty of these have
died. In Cumberland and Westmoreland the plague
is very violent, apparently more fatal than in cog.
parts of the country.

'I'HE CHARGE 0111 SCUTTLING A SHIP.

~-___..

At the Mansion House, on Thursday, Thomas
13ulman, late master of the ship Old England, was charged
with scuttling that vessel. There had been a Board of
Trade inquiry, and the prisoner's certificate had been can-
celled. Mr. George Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner,
said that it was intended to put the carpenter into
the dock as an, accomplice if he could be found.
—Bernard Hanlon, a seaman on board the Old England,
said six days before the vessel was abandoned she was
pumped every hour, and the pumps always sucked. To
his knowledge the pumps were not worked after 8 p.m. on
the Saturday, and the ship was abandoned on the following
day. A few days before this some of the crew suggested
to the prisoner that the vessel should be taken into some
port on account of hor leaks ; but the accused said he
did not know a nearer part than Ascension. Witness
mentioned that Pernambuco was neared at nine p.m. on
the Saturday. Witness and some other seamen went to the
pumps, but the prisoner, who was on the poop, would not
allow them to be worked.—Thomas Wilson, another sea-
man, gave corroborative evidence. He and some others
told. the captain if the ship was not put in port and
repaired she would not get round the Cape.—After further
evidence of a like nature, the case was adjourned till
Monday.

carpet manufacturer to change a couple of £5 cheques.
These notei were discovered to be fictitious, the soi-
disant colonel turned out to be a baronet who had
already made acquaintance with the hospitality of the
British col; and the carpet manufacturer had no
alternative but to bring him before the magistrate.
The victim is hardly likely to see his money again;
it went in hotel bills. The investigation of the charge
was postponed.

PHYSIOLOGY FOB, WOMEN.

Miss Faithfull's debating, society for women, held
at the Victoria Institute, does not confine itself to
mere discussion. It. obtains lectures in favour of
women culture. Dr. Lankester, the well-known
coroner and writer on health, discoursed on Thursday
evening, and argued for the necessity of physiology
being taught to women. Typhus fever is abroad,
he said. Who will prevent it ? Had chil-
dren been taught the laws of health
they would, as men and women, know
how to avoid disease. Indeed he thought the science
of physiology to be a more important study than
reading and writing ; that is to say, facts relating to
health were more beneficial as imparted to the human
mind than any other. - The knowledge of simple
things, of the blessings of pure air, and the necessity
for
.the constancy of it ; of the deadly effects of bad
drains ; of the injurious results of continually burning
gas jets, consuming all tho oxygen in close rooms—
these facts and others like them were really necessary
to he known.
London, England, 1869-10-23

THE MANCHESTER' RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

We record elsewhere an accident happily not fatal
in its results, which took
.place on Thursday, near
Manchester. The story is the usual one ; into
a luggage train late in shunting, an express
going at the rate of forty miles an hour
dashed with great destructive results. We
are told of much goods of the railway company
destroyed, of carriages smashed, and engines damaged;
but they are nothing to the shaking of all and the
serious injury to some of the passengers. Now this,
according to present appearances, is only another
instance of the, evils of the present shunting system.
The least time possible for moving a large luggage
train seems to be universally adopted on our rail-
ways. The officials enjoy the daily excitement
of racing with time ; and pleasant it must
be, occasion after occasion, to get the
lumbering trucks out of the way before
the rushing express comes by. A porter in
such a position must feel a benefactor to his race, for
he has saved life. But sometimes—pretty frequently
of late—he misses his mark; and then accidents
occur, like those at Longsight. The shaken passen-
gers write to the papers asking "Who's to blame ? "
They characterise the accident as a wanton attempt to
destroy life, and demand that a luggage train shall never
again be shunted so nearly to the time of an express
train. But what does it profit ? The railway com-
panies ignore all arguments except heavy damages
and so the accidents go on.

women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

TILE IRISH CHURCH.

The clergy of the disestablished Irish Church have
made another important concession to the laity. At
a meeting of ministers, convened by the Archbishop
of Dublin, it was resolved by a large majority that
the laity should have the right to decide on matters
of doctrine and discipline. This power, added to the
command of the purse which the laity possess, will
make their influence in the governing body almost
paramount.

THE CONSERVATIVES LN NORTH-EAST LANCASHIRE.

The inauguration of the New church Conservative
Association has been celebrated in North-East Lan-
cashire by a meeting, at which Mr. J. Maden
Holt, M.P. for the division, and Mr. Fielden,
M.P. for the Eastern division of the West
Riding, spoke. The latter directed his atten-
tion chiefly to the grievance of centralisation, by
means of which, he declared, the Whigs were deter-
mined to get the whole nation "in their grip and
power." Mr. Fielden has a special antipathy to union
workhouses, which are, it seems, one of the bitterest
fruits of centralisation. That those institutions are
not perfect a suffering public knows too well ; but
it does not appear that the hon. gentleman
had any remedy to propose. He, however,
holds in general that local authorities should be left
to manage their own affairs uncontrolled by the cen-
tral Government. No doubt some startling results
would follow the adoption of such a policy ; for
instance, what substantial benefits would have been
secured to the parish of St. Pancras if its guardians
had been free from control ! 'How quickly the
district would have been freed from sick paupers !
Mr. Holt addressed himself to Free Trade, and advo-
cated the necessity of a thorough inquiry into its
effects.

MR. GOSCIIEN AND THE GUARDIANS.

The President of the Poor-law Board has found
active employment immediately on his return to offi-
cial duties. The long-pending field-day between him
and the St. Pancras Guardians came off on Thursday,
and resulted in the complete discomfiture of the
latter. The Board waited upon Mr. Goschen chiefly
to ask his aid in getting rid of that sore burden
to the parish, the new infirmary at High-
gate. About a year ago the benighted
series of guardians who preceded the
present Board conceived the idea that the accommo-
dation for the sick poor of St. Pancras was very in-
adequate, and accordingly proceeded to erect a new
building, where they would be treated properly. This
monstrous notion of providing such luxurious accom-
modation for paupers was indignantly resented by a
majority of the ratepayers, who speedily elected a
Board of very different propensities—men fully con-
vinced that the sick poor now had all that they could
wish for, and that a new infirmary was a useless expense.
Unfortunately for the good intentions of these
gentlemen, the new building is now nearly finished,
and the calamity of having a good house for the infirm
paupers stares the parish in the face. Hence the
guardians appealed to Mr. Goschen to help them in
averting it.
They did not, however, meet with much syen-
pathy. The Poor-law President believes it to be
a fact that the present accommodation is indifferent ;
but the guardians are convinced that St. Pancras is
marked out as a victim by all the other metro-
politan parishes, and that hordes of paupers
are driven into their sick wards from every quarter—
probably on account of the admirable arrangements at
St. Pancras. The
To
has more than its proper
share of sick poor. To this ingenious plea Mr. Goschen
answered on Thursday that as a matter of fact
there were fewer sick in St. Pancras than in the
metropolis generally, and yet the present accommoda-
tion was too small. Whereupon the guardians gave
up the use of logic, and had recourse to more familiar
weapons. In answer to further pertinent inquiries,
especially as to whether offensive cases were not
sometimes treated in the infirm wards, these worthy
representatives informed the president that " they
had not come to go into that." Mr. Goschen then
informed the deputation that they had better amend
their ways, forget the past, and conduct themselves
decently in future. They had brought the discipline
of their workhouse to " sixes and sevens," they
had acted vindictively against an assistant who had
displeased them, and they had so endeavoured to sus-
pend officers who had given evidence against their
views that their power of suspension had. been taken
away. Though St. Pancras was a parish in which
there were many poor, the accommodation provided
for the sick and poor was deplorably 1 low the
average. The guardians went their
way, having
gained nothing, and—judging by their interruptions
of Mr. Geschen—in no way reformed.

POLICE INTE,LLIGENCE.—Mis Day.

MAELBOLOG II STREET.

INCORRIGIBLE.--Jimes Gand, a young man; described
as a tailor, was charged before Mr. Knox with frequenting
Regent-street and Oxford-street as a suspected person, and
also with having a carriage rug in his possession, supposed
to be stolen.

The evidence of Shrives, a divisional detective, and

Webb, 112 C, showed that yesterday afternoon they saw
the prisoner and two others dodging about and looking
into carriages, and they afterwards saw them with the
carriage rug in their possession. The rug was thrown
away by one of them and picket up by the officers, who
took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner said he had tried to get situations, but
could not. Ho was iu bad health.
Mr. Knox said the prisoner might not be well, but ho
appeared to be capable of going, about fur an improper

VILLAGE HOSPITALS.

A very interesting experiment is being tried at
Speen, in Berkshire. The Rev. 11. W. 111-ajendie,
the vicar, has just erected a neat village hospital for
the reception of poor persons suffering from accident
or disease. It will contain six or seven beds, and the
general management will be entrusted to a nurse of
experience in the London Hospitals. The medi-
cal- men of the neighbourhood will attend the patients.
Every article required for furnishing the hospital has
been gratuitously supplied by the parishioners, some
of the poor people being contributors to the Atent of
their means. The example deserves imitation. Such
institutions must, in the language of prefaces, "sup-
ply a long-felt want." Hitherto the principal, if not
the only, resource for the agricultural labourer in
time of sickness was to drop into the workhouse.

LAWRENCE, Mayor.—A Common Council,

Majesty the Queen upon her Majesty honouring the City
of London with her presence on the occasion of opening
Blackfriars-bridge and the Holborn Viaduct, on Satur-
day, the Gth November next.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, bas introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed 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.

PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION AT BELFAST.

The Duke of Abercorn presided at the United Pro-
testant demonstration, held at Belfast on Thursday
evening. Resolutions were passed protesting against
the passing of the Church Act, against any surplus
funds going to Roman Catholic institutions, and
calling the Party Processions Act an unjust mea-
sure. A. protest was further entered into against the
tenant-right agitation as a communist inovement to
ruin the Protestant landowners; but the meeting
agreed to support any measure calculated to satisfac-
torily settle the relations between landlord and
tenant. At a previous meeting, the Duke of Aber-
corn compared the present state of Ireland with that
of. two years ago—unfavourably to the former, of
course—and said that the results of Mr. Gladstone's
"Message of Peace " wore agrarian murders, inse-
curity of property, and an increase of aguessive
bigotry.
A RULING FAMILY.

--
There could hardly be a better instance of the
power of a reigning family than that of the 'Tamil-
tons. The head of it is the Duke of Abercorn, who
holds a seat in the House of Lords, and possesses
great political influence. The Duke's brother,
Lord Claud Hamilton, is member for Tyrone.
The Marquis of Hamilton, one of his
Grace's sons, represents the Irish county of
Donegal ; another son, Lord George Hamilton, was
returned at the last general election for Middlesex ;
and a third, Lord Oland John Hamilton, has just
succeeded to the Earl of Derby in the seat for Kings
Lynn. The similarity in the names of the Duke's
brother, ALP. for Tyrone, and the son, M.P. for Lynn,
has caused much confusion. The difference is not easy
to remember. The brother is generally known as
Lord Claud, the son as Lord Claud John.

871-ITE OF TRADE.

MiricllEsTEß, Dec. 10.—The market for ship-
ping 3 eras has been very steady to-day, with a fair
amount of business doing. For cop yarns for the
home trade the market is fully better than that of
Tuesday, buyers being willing to give the prices
then quoted to a moderate extent. On Wednes-
day and Thursday our cloth market underwent no
change from Tuesday so far as demand was con-
cerned, and quotations, for reasons sufficiently
stated in late reports, continued to be rather
firmly adhered to, but there seemed to be a ge-
neral feeling that some cause for weakness in
prices was impending, and that when business
was resumed buyers would be able to place
their orders at something like the rates prevailing a
week or ten days ago. This impression has been
in a great measure dispelled to-day, owing to a d_-
eided accession of firMuess and even animation i ►
the market. There has been a revival, especially
in the demand for shirting's for early delivery.
The business has not been large, but the market
may be quoted as closing with great firmness.
LEICESTER, Dec. 10th.—Trade generally is un-
usually dull. There has been no activity in the
wool market on account of people preparing for
stock. taking. Prices remain firm, especially for
lustre sorts, which are, if anything, the most
in request. In worsted yarns there is really no-
thing doing, this trade being exceptionally flat
even for this usually dull month. Many
of the manufacturers are stock-taking in anti-
cipation of the last week in the year, which is the
usual time here. Much machinery is standing, and
many hands are out of work. A few small pur-
chases have been made in lambs'-wool goods and
underclothing for immediate wants. No improve-
ment is expected, as the London and Manchester
warehouses are preparing for stock-taking. Consi-
derable improvement is reported in the heather and
fancy cotton branches, and some good orders have
been taken. The plain cotton hosiery trade of
Hinckley is also improved ; nevertheless, manufac-
turers still have full stock-rooms. The undecided
state of the cotton market operates against buyers
desirous of placing their orders. The elastic web
trade still continues in a very depressed state.
Many hands are out of employ, and much distress
will be experienced this Christmas. There is little
doing in boots and shoes ; orders are very scarce,
and only for sorting stocks. All factories are on
short time. Leather is dull of sale, and easier in
price for quantities.
London, England, 1869-12-11

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

Another example of friendly society rascality has
just turned up at the Thames Police-court. A poor
woman applied to the magistrate for advice, saying
that her mother-in-law had for some time paid small
weekly contributions to the Queen Friendly Society,
established in East London, but that neither
treasurer nor secretary could now be found.
The magistrate could give the sufferer no
comfort, except that others were in the
same difficulty with herself. Several applications
respecting this society had come before him. In one
case a widow applied for Irlo, to which she was en-
titled on the death of her husband. These bogus
societies, the officers of which get all they can and
then vanish, are unfortunately very common.

MODERN POLITICAL SCIENCE.

The Bavarian King seems to hold strange notions
of political principles. At the general election just
held, the Ultramontanes won a majority of six on a
total of 154. The Liberal Ministry of Prince Hohen-
lohe thereupon resigned, but they were immediately
reinstated, and the victorious Ultramontanes kept
out in the cold. A Central Press telegram
now tells us that the King, being asked
to make concessions to the Ultramontane party,
refused on the ground that the great towns had
elected Liberals ! How delighted the men of Man-
chester will be on learning this formal acknowledg-
ment of the political supremacy of big cities ! The
friends of progress will wish every prosperity to the
Bavarian Liberals. But if the people in fair fight
deliberately choose a majority of Ultramontanes, it
seems hard measure to both keep the victorious party
out of power and refuse them concessions, because,
though they have done so well in the country, the
large towns have gone against them.
