THE BISHOPS AT THE CAP:

The Churchmen in Cape colony cherish no feeling
of sympathy with Bishop Colenso, but they will have
none of Mr. Macrorie. A petition is now being
signed by large numbers of the laity, and including.
according to the local papers, Churchmen of Al
shades and doctrine. Though averse to the hr -

_ .
tical opinions of Dr. Colenso, they feel that 1;:
has not been dealt with in accordance wit'.l
the laws and c3nstitution of the Church of EngEn:i.
h is trial, with excommunication following it, by
Metropolitan Gray and his suffragans, has been pro-
nounced by the highest authority in the realm in law
simply null and void. They thercio!...o hold that
Dr. Colenso, whatever his faults may be, is still
legally recognised as Bishop of the Church of Eng-
land in Natal. Other views are entertained ; but the
light of the Cape, the South Afri, a Adrertiser.
believes this party to be in the ascendant.

BED TAPE INCARNATE.

The half-yearly meeting of the Dagenham Dud,:
Company has just been held, and very strong and
natural indiznation was expressed at the refusal of a
permission to open the clocks. The chairman said
that the President of the Board of Trade (Mr.
Bright) was quite disposed to grant the license, but
that the Board of Customs, which is the real obstruc-
tion, " was presided over by one of the greatest
emblems of red tape in existence." The official
-eferred to is Sir Thomas Freemantle. As this
ienlleman is 71 years old, her Majesty would pro-
bably be better served by a younger man sitting at
the receipt of custom.
THE TOMB OF LADY CANNING.

A. letter in the Times states that the tomb of Lady
Canning, the beautiful, accomplished, and beloved wife
of Lord Canning, the Viceroy, is fallinginto ruins, and
having appealed in vain to the heir of Lord Canning's
fortune and title for the sum required to repair it,he is
compelled to appeal publicly to the friends of the late
Viceroy. The heir of Lord Canning's title and
fortune is Hubert de Burgh Canning, 'Viscount
Burke, M.P., for Galway. The fortune which this
gentleman inherited is known to have been very large.
Since he came into possession of it, his elder brother,
Lord Dunkellin has died, and Viscount Burke is
therefore heir to the title and estates of the Marquis
of Clanricarde, in addition to the title and estates
which he actually enjoys from Lord Canning. The
public will not form a very high opinion of the piety
or the liberality of Hubert de Burgh Canning.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

American A lengthy letter
lawyer from
,has
bAr. G. T. Curtis,
~,renrernthlisil a
ed from omte distinguished
z,ete
York World, with an introduction from " Historicus."
The latter says little beyond expresssing his belief that,
however unfavourable may be the appearances, the condact
of the United States will ultimately be governed by
reason, justice, and prudence. Mr. Curtis then begins.
He thinks the treaty ought to be ratified. He believes, in
the first place, that our recognition of the South as a
belligerent cannot be made the subject of arbitration, for
the right of any nation to declare itself neutral in a
contest between rebels controlling a great extent of
country and their lawful Government is a right that cannot
be questioned. " Least of all can it be questioned
by us. There is too much in our own past history and
jurisprudence that has asserted such a right in the
strongest manner for us to be able successfully to contend
against its existence. And if the right itself exists, the
time and mode of exercising it—the time and mode of
assuming that attitude of neutrality which implies a recog-
nition of the belligerent character in the rebellious or
revolted portion of a friendly nation—must be and can
only be judged of by the Government which sees fit to
assume this attitude. The motives cannot be inquired
into. The presumption is that the motives are friendly,
or, at least, that they are innocent."

It is too late, Mr. Curtis thinks, for his countrymen to
make an accusation which can be decided only by the
arbitrament of the sword. Ho justifies England's refusal
to submit this question to an arbiter, for it affects Ameri-
can honour as a nation, whilst the Alabama claims
affect American citizens in the form of losses to indi-
viduals. England has made very great concessions, and
has gone as far as the enlightened opinion of mankind
would require or approve. Reserving only the bellige-
rency difficulty, she has conceded everything else that
was asked ; and, indeed, has yielded all that can besettled
by peaceful means. As to the actual terms of the treaty,
there is nothing in them which can prevent the English
Commissioners from admitting liability for the Alabama
depredations, and proceeding at once to assess their amount.
But if they are not prepared to go so far, this great
case in the equity of nations must surely be referred to a
sovereign, who will have to apply abstract principles of
law to a complicated practical case. No individual is
properly competent to do this. If the treaty be refused,
and the question be kept open, is England likely to give
way any further? A war undertaken by the United
States would be reprehended by the whole civilised world.
The men who make the public opinion of Europe are more
and more convinced that it is the common interest of
nations to prevent a war between England and the United
States.

THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES.

The peoples of the Danube have become remarkably
quiet since they lost the chance of a war between Turkey
and Greece. As was natural, Roumania, Servia, and
Montenegro each hoped to gain something out of the
mak, though none of them felt disposed to aid Greece
openly. Now the disappointment i r general. A special
correspondent of the Times says that Russian influence had
previously suffered a severe blow at Belgrade, alrno.A all in-
tercourse between the Government and the RussianCon=•al-
General had ceased, and it was only on the outt.eak of
the Greco-Turkish dispute that it revived in any degree.
Disappointment has once more extinguished friendship.
In Roumania the Government has been encouraged to break
openly with Bratiano and the party of action, and dissolve
the Chamber, which contained so many Reds. The party
of action has lost so much Prestige that it is believed .its

THE ROYAL TOUR IN EGYPT.

The good luck which is supposed to attend the Queen
in the important item of weather is not enjoyed by her
children. The weather in Egypt since the arrival of the
Prince and the Princess of Wales has not been favourable.
They have encountered high contrary winds up the Nile,
and clouds of plebeian sand and dust have been no
respectors of persons. The Princess has, however, been
rowed about the river a little, and the Prince has found
some shooting. He is well provided for this sport, even
nnasessinct apparatus for the capture of crocodiles.

SPAIN.
There was a very stormy debate in the Cortes a day or
two ago. Orense, the Republican leader, led a violent
attack upon the Government, alleging that universal suf-
frage, under the influence of the party in power, had
merely been a machine for the return of Monarchists.
The Minister of the Interior maintained that
freedom of voting had been strictly respected by the
Government. Its agents had been ordered to observe
the inost complete neutrality. One of his arguments was
certainly weighty. In a few days the Cortes confirmed
the elections of above two hundred deputies, against only
three of whom were protests recorded, and these of no
importance. There can be little doubt that the Assembly
has been fairly chosen, and there can be equally little
doubt as to the course it will take. Prim's declaration
that the fallen dynasty shall not return to the throne is
decisive and timely. The field of speculation is greatly
narrowed.

ries at Wokington on the 10th of December, 1868, relative

GOOD NEWS FOR NEWSPAPER PROPRIETORS.

A M. Jonglet claims to have discovered a process
whereby he can obliterate the ink from newspapers
and convert them into sheets of virgin purity. The
invention offers a field for boundless ingenuity and
enterprise. Newspaper proprietors will be able to
arrange for receiving back their papers from the agents,
who will receive them back from the public, after
making a small charge for the use of the paper.
In fact, newspapers will be let instead of
sold. The moral aspect of the invention affords
room for singular coincidences. The very samepiece
of paper which to-day contains a speech by Mr.
Gladstone may on the morrow have one by Mr.
Disraeli. Nay, more, if it be a journal anxious to
seem to lead public opinion (and, therefore, skilfully
following it (the space that yesterday was covered by
an article against a particular measure may to-day
receive an article in favour of it. There is one diffi-
culty that we see in the application of this invention.
Paper is not the most endurable material in the
world, and it is just possible that before it went back
to the newspaper office it might get torn.

AIVIBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
2_41 EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
Having coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

druggists, in bottles, 131 d., and three quantities in one,

matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

THE ROYAL TOUR IN EGYPT.

The good luck which is supposed to attend the Queen
in the important item of weather is not enjoyed by her
children. The weather in Egypt since the arrival of the
Prince and the Princess of Wales has not been favourable.
They have encountered high contrary winds up the Nile,
and clouds of plebeian sand and dust have been no
respecters of persons. The Princess has, however, been
rowed about the river a little, and the Prince has found
some shooting. He is well provided for this sport, even
nessessin¢ apparatus for the capture of crocodiles.

COUNTY COURTS AMENDMENT ACT.

Mr. GIBBS, of Wolverhampton, proposed a resolution
on: this subject as follows : " That the Cuunty Courts
Amendment Act of 1867 ought to be further amended by
some such clauses as the following, viz. :-1. An action
may be brought in the county court of the district where the
debtor resides ; or if the plaintiff gives security for costs, in
the county court of the district where the plaintiff resides.
3. In any action for the recovery of a trade debt, as
defined by sec. 3of the Act of 1867, to which an unsuccess-
ful defence has been made, the order shall be for payment
within fourteen days, unless the creditor shall expressly
agree to take payment by instalments or at a later date.
Mr. WRIGHT (of Birmingham) seconded the resolution.
Mr. NORWOOD, M.P. for Hull, said he had introduced
a bill into Parliament on this matter, but it bad not any
clause on the point of security for costs.
The resolution was carried.

The comparative statement of pauperism in the
eleven divi. ions of England and Wales for the month of
November, 1867 and 1868, has been issued. With two
exceptions, there was a considerable increase in every divi-
Eion of the number of paupers receiving relief during each
week of 1868 as compared with 1867.

EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY. —The following

illustrations of prolonged existance appeared in the
obituary of the Times of Tuesday. The deaths of four
ladies and as many gentlemen are recorded, whose united
ages amounted to 669 years, giving an average of 83 years,
seven months and 14 days to each. Of the ladies, the
youngest was 80 years of age, and the oldest 87 ; of the
opposite sex, the youngest was 80, and the oldest had
reached the great age of 91. One of the latter had been
for 64 years a domestic in a private family, and was the
last survivor of three fel!ow-servants whose united terms
of service exceeded 150 years.
FARM LABOUR.—On an arable farm it will
usually be found that more men are wanted in summer
than can be conveniently employed in winter. At the
same time it has ever been our plan to keep as uniform
a set as possible in all seasons. This has been managed
by setting aside for the winter jobs which, if done
' in summer, would interfere with the harvest, root culti-
vati•.;n, &c. Such work will be topping of trees, trimming
hedges, cleaning ditches, and such occasional pieces of
hedge-throwing as may have been determined upon. This
hedge-grubbing we do in the dead of winter. It is done
at a fixed price, and, as our bailiff says, you need not look
so closely after men when they have their "own work " in
hand; but when they are at work for the master, on all
sorts of odd jobs, and on short days, there is no knowing
where to find them within a mile or so. The price
paid is 6d. per perch for grubbing and levelling the whole
wood, "mocks" (stumps) and "moors" (roots) belonging
to the men. This furnishes them with a good supply of
firewood, and with all they get no bad addition to their
ordinary wages ; albeit, if done by day-work, it would
cost the farmer double the money.—Chamber of Agricul-
tov Jairnal.

THE LATE PLYMOUTH ELECTION.

An action for libel, brought by Mr. Walter Morrison,
M.P. for Plymouth, against a person named Shepherd, a
printer, of the same town, came on for hearing in the
Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, London, yester.
day, before Mr. Justice Montagu Smith and a special
jury. The libel was contained in a placard
largely circulated in Plymouth at the time of the
late general election, and signed by "An Elector, once a
Liberal, but now a Conservative." The insinuation was
that Mr. Morrison had fraudulently formed a drapery
business, in which he had an interest, into a com-
pany, and thereby victimised a large number
of shareholders. The defendant had printed th.
placard, and as the author (supposed to be a supporter
of the Conservative candidate,-Mr. Stuart Lane) could not
be discovered, the action was brought against him as the
only means by which Mr. Morrison could vindicate his
character. When the case was called on, Mr. Hawkins
Q.C.. who appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Huddlestone, who represented the defendant, held a
long consultation, the result of which was that Shepherd,
having been put into the box, and having admitted
that he was the printer, but not the author (nor
did he know who was) of the placard, Mr. Haw-
kins, on an apology being made and the impu.
tations fully withdrawn, consented to a verdict for 405.,
stating that Mr. Morrison, knowing that the defendant
was not a man of means, would not press for costs. Mr.
Justice Smith held the libel to be " most gross and
scandalous."

It is a fact worth noting, says the Manchester Guar-
dian, that among the deacons ordained by the Bishop of Ox-
ford on Sunday was Shapurji Edulji—a Parsee, we pre-
Fume. In India there aro a good many native clergymen,
but Mr. Edulji has not been set apart for tho evangelisation
of his fellow-countrymen, Ho takes his place among
the clergy of England, and is at this moment curate of Bur-
ford and Fulbrook, not many miles from Oxford itself. A
native of India is thus appointed to teach an English parish
Christianity--a circumstance, we should imagine, altogether
without precedent, ;
