MR. RYLE ON A REFORM OP THE EPISCOPACY.

A long letter appears in the Record, from the Rev.
J. C. Ryle, on Church Reform. Mr. Ryle introduces
his subject at great length, by an argument that the
Church of England is in danger—from Rome,
Dissent, Infidelity, internal dissension, internal indif-
ference, and the political drift towards disestablish-
ment. To avert this danger he would reform the
episcopate. His propomls (to name them shortly)
are as follows :—An increase in the number of dioceses,
each county to have its bishop and some counties to
be divided ; the withdrawal of the bishops—except
five of them—from the House of Lords; a decrease
in the power of the prelate, he being given a council
which he should be bound to consult ; a reduction in
the episcopal salary to £2,ooo—that sum being
increased by £l,OOO in the case of the five
Parliamentary bishops; and a reform in the manner
of appointment. This last-named change, Mr.
Ryle thinks, is absolutely recessary. The committee
of 1041 recommended a plan which has Mr. Ryle's
full rpproval. "Upon every death or other void-
ance of a bishopric, the King to grant a come
to all the clergy of the whole diocese, they to present
three of the presbytery, and the King to choose and
nominate whom he pleasoth of them."

ELECTION NEWS.

Mr. Kay Shuttleworth will stand for Hastings in
the Liberal interest, in the place of Mr. F. North.
The deceased gentleman was a near connection of
Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, and there is reason, the Tele-
graph says, to think that the Liberal party will unani-
mously accept the candidature of the latter. He
contested North-East Lancashire last year, but was
beaten by Messrs. Holt and Starkie after a very close
*un.

For Southwark there is some prospect of a general
Liberal scramble. Mr. Labouchere has issued an
address, in which he states that his political opi-
nions have undergone no change, save in respect of
an increased belief in the security of the ballot. It is
remarkable that most Ballot pledges are in the form
of "an increased belief." Though the Ballot is next
time to have so many more votes than it ever had
before, there are few new converts. They have
been only strengthened in their convictions.
There are now six Liberal candidates for this
borough—Labouchere, Gibson, Hodgson, Allen,
Lycett (Sir Francis), and Odger. If a Conservative
he not returned it will not be the fault of tho
Liberals; but as the election cannot take place, it is
understood, before the meeting of Parliament, there
will be time for " the elimination of the cripples."
Mr. Odger is to be the working man's candidate
instead of Mr. Allen.

Lord William hay was chosen at a meeting at
Earlston as the Liberal candidate for Berwickshire.

POLITICS AT BERWICK.

Viscount Bury, member for Berwick-on-Tweed,
has been shedding a little extra-parliamentary light
on his borough. Considering that this nobleman is a
professed supporter of Mr. Gladstone, and was
Treasurer of the Queen's Household from
June 1859 to May 1806, his speech must
be regarded somewhat in the light of
a rebellion. Lord Bury declares in favour of a
national, and not a denominational system of educa-
tion. He thinks the people of Ireland are shocking the
sympathies of Englishmen. The Land Bill must be
moderate. But in the matter of colonial policy the
member for Berwick is wholly at issue with the
Government. He condemns Earl Granville's refusal
to allow the New Zealand colonists the use of troops.
He demands more sympathetic treatment. Alluding
to a circular that has been sent out convening
a meeting of the representatives of the Colonies
in London, Lord Bury said that in some recent corres-
pondence Lord Granville had communicated to him
a despatch which had been addressed to the colonial
Governments, advising them not to send delegates to
the proposed Conference. It was more than pro-
bable that various colonial governors would take the
cue given by Lori Granville, and prevail upon the
representative Governments not to send delegates
to the Congress, as originally proposed. Lord flury
is in favour of combining the colonies in a federal
union;due regard being had to the wants and feelings
of each,

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

duty in Westbourne-street, Pimlico, at three this morn-
ing ; he went down a mews there and discovered the
prisoner in an enclosed washouse. He opened the
window of the washhouso, but prisoner immediately
shut it again. The constable attempted to remove him
when ho struck him a violent blow across the eye with a
bar of iron. Some brushes and other things bad been re-
moved from the washhouse.
Another policeman proved that the prisoner also attacked
him with great fury immediately he made his appearance
The owner of the shod, a shoeing smith, said that a
number of things had been removed from the house into
the yard.
The police-constable said prisoner had just served
three months' imprisonment.
Prisoner told a long, plausible story, in the course of
which ho endeavoured to make it appear that he had gone
to the shed to turn out some imaginary drunken wan.
Prisoner was remanded.

VICE-CIIANCELLOR'S COURT.

•4 PUNCH AND JUDY."

Mr. Jesse], on behalf of Mears. Bradbury and
Evans, applied to the Vico-ChancePor for an in-
juaction to restrain Mr. Becton from publishing
the penny periodical called Punch and Judy,
which, it was alleged, was a colourable imitation of
of Punch, the property of Messrs. Bradbury
and Evans.

The Vice-Chanczllor, in giving his judgment,
said the celebrated periodical Punch was so well
known that it certainly could not be for a moment
supposed that the publication in question could be
by any chance mistaken for it. Ile did not under
those circumstances see that there had been an ap-
propriation of the trade mark by the Messrs. Brad-
bury and Evans, and therefore the petition for the
injunction would be dismissed without costs.

7'HE GREAT EMBEZZLEMENT OF

£24,000.

To-day William IVl,La—uchlan, the stock broker,
who stood charged with embezzling the enormous
sum of £24,000, the property of the trustees
of a gentleman deceased, was placed at the
bar before Sir R. Carden, at the ManEion-house,
for further examination. It will be recollected that
the property in question, stocks and securities, were
placed with the prisoner for realization, but, instead
of doing so, he appropriated the £24,000 out of
about £lOO,OOO to his own use. The Secretary of
the Stock Exchange proved that the prisoner had
not been a member of the " house" since July, 1867,
and that he was a defaulter. The detective ser-
geant who apprehended the prisoner at his offices
in Tokenhouse-yard having related the circum-
stances connected with his arrest, the Alderman for-
mally committed him for trial.

EASTERN CEILL'ITRIES.

Constantinople would not suit a Sultan who looked upon
Cemeteries as Louis XV. of France regarded them, for
everywhere you see patches of cypress trees, telling that
graveyards rest under their shadow. It is difficult to look
out from any of the windows of the capital without seeing
some of these cypresses. The largest burying-grounds are
outside the walls of Constantinople, but there aro grave-
yards everywhere. No care is taken with them, the
grounds are not walled in, and the 'gravestones have
rolled into the roads. Wherever a headstone can be,
placed it has been stuck into the ground, and these memo-
rials are in all directions, without regard to order or regu-
larity. Some of the more modern monuments have•been
adorned after an unsightly fashion with gaudy colours ; but
the whole style of a Turkish:cemetery is most unfinished.
These dreary graves are visited by no mourners. You may,
observe some Turks smoking in the vicinity, or a veiled
woman passing along; but they do not seem to care for
one tomb more than another. It would not appear that
the Ottomans made it their custom to visit the tombs of
their dead. The burying of the dead is conducted with
very little ceremony by the Turks, and the last remains
of their friends are hurried out of sight as quietly as
rossible.

THE- MARSEILLES LAND COMPANY.

Mr. Mowatt, chairman of the Cr3dit Fonder,
writes explaining the course adopted by that com-
pany respecting the Marseilles Land scandal.
The directors of the Crtdit Fonder do not
desire the removal of tho present liquidators of the
Marseilles Company, because the latter intend to do
their duty in recovering moneys improperly taken from
that company—but, on the contrary, because they
neither will perform that obvious duty, nor
can do so, from the relation in which they
stand to the wrongdoers. The liquidators
have no bond fide claims, Mr. Mowatt says,
against the CrOdit Foncier. The action of the latter
company to obtain the removal of the liquidators was
not the result of the so-called " discovery," for, in
fact, it was a notice convening the meeting of the
shareholders, with the object of the removal, "that
had the marvellous effect of eliciting the declaration
of the said discovery" :

I say advisedly the declaration that thby have made this
discovery; because of discovery there was really none, the
facts of the case being as well known to the liquidators, or
some of them, years ago as they are now. The Marseilles
Company was put in liquidation in September, 1867, and
yet the liquidators have, during all this time, taken no step
nor given any sign of their desire to obtain redress in the
scandalous matter under consideration.

THE TROUBLES IN DALMATIA,

The minority of the Dalmatian Diet has resolved to
send an address to Vienna, pointing out the true causes of
the popular discontent. During the recent session, which
only lasted five days, they remind the Government that
they asked for a repeal of the laws relating to public,
schools, for a change in the method of raising the militia,
and for the collection of imposts at fixed epochs
In order to make the payment less onerous.
They protested also against the exclusion of the
Cyrillien alphabet, and the inequitable distribution of the
military contingent. The minority state that they have
avoided any interference with the action of the authorities,
and add that it is not the people but the majority
representing the Government who are responsible for the.
disturbances. The people ask that justice may be adminis-
tered and instruction given in their own tongue, and they
look for a radical change in the Provincial Administration.
When these reforms are made, they will themselves
become the surest bulwark of the Empire in the West.

PRINCESS'S THEA7RE•

The management of this elegant theatre has now
passed into the hands of Mr. Benjamin Webster,
and last night he commenced his winter season with
the revival of the celebrated Adelphi drama,
" The Willow Copse," and a variety of
other entertainments. The character of Luke
Fielding is perhaps one of Mr. Webster's greatest,
and last night he repeated it with as much power
and pathos as on the first night of its production
many years ago at his favourite theatre in the
Strand. Mrs. Mellon sustains her original part
of Meg, and Miss Furtado appears as Rose Fielding,
while the other characters are efficiently supported
by Messrs. Leeson, Phillips, Taylur, Ashley, Rey-
nold, and Stuart. 'The reception of Mr. Webster
was particularly hearty and cheering, and the effect
of kindly welcome was evident throughout
the whole of his act. Never has he performed
the part with greater effect, and the applause
that greeted his efforts was general and euthu-
siasiic. Now that the theatre has passed into the
hands of Mr. Webster, the habitues may rest
perfectly certain that its former successes will not
be allowed to fade, but the desire on the part of
the management will be to add fresh lustre to
them. The house was crowded in every part long
before the rising of the curtain.
London, England, 1869-11-03

BRIBERY BY COMMISSION.

For the last day or two the Times has been pub-
lishing a correspondence on a subject as delicate as it is
important—the practice more or less prevalent of
engineers taking commissions from contractors. A
contractor offers money for getting his contract
accepted, or, again, for getting work inferior
to the contract passed as satisfactory .by the
inspector or superintendent. An engineer or
other adviser of a company whose duty it is
to recommend tenders for materi
als or workmanship,
receives a gratuity, under the name of a " Commis-
sion," for the service his recommendation expresses.
Thus the supervision designed to protect proprietors
and shareholders is perverted to their loss. Bad
work is made to pass for good, and good work costs
more than its proper price. Where the outlay is great
the loss is prodigious. A tender for thousands of
tons of iron, or any other material, may be greatly
above the mark without attracting notice. That the
practice extensively prevails there can be little doubt.
It is complained of in connection with the Indian
railways. A correspondent recently stated that
railway engineers set themselves against im-
provements, because they disturbed their existing
system of contracts. The Metropolitan Board of 'Works
has been engaged in investigating frauds—for such
they are—of this description. Mr. llawkshaw, the
eminent engineer, on behalf of his profession, indig-
nantly disclaims the charge; but the Times
points out ono person cannot answer for
the doings of his brethren, and, that the system is
so generally recognised that it is regarded as a
matter of course. "We have been assured that in
an infinity of cases nothing is to be done without
these fees, and that, in fact, a large proportion of
public and private business is,thus depraved." The
practice is bribery and cheating, however regular and
common it may be.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Nov. 2 (Evening.)
The Ministry, as reconstituted, presented them
selves to the Cortes to-day.

Marshal Prim explained that the cause of the
crisis had been the question of the candidatures to
the throne. Every effort to solve that question
had, however, proved hitherto unavailing, on ac-
count of the attitude of the Unionists. The Go-
vernment would, however, remain faithful to the
principles of the Revolution.
Seniors Rios and Ardanax, of the Unionist party,
promised to support the Government. The sittings
of the Cortes then adjourned.

The Epoca and Correspondencia of this evening
asserts that Admiral Topete insists upon leaving
the Cabinet, giving as his motive the question of
candidature to the throne. Marshal Prim has de-
clared that he will also leave the Cabinet should
Admiral Topete not withdraw his resignation.

LEGAL CHANGES.

The Times appeared a morni g or two back with
a "feeler," suggesting the suppression of one of the
Lord-Justiceships of Chancery Appeal. The death
of Sir Charles Selwyn had placed the appointment
open ; one Lord Justice was enough ; £6,000 a year
might be saved by making him do all the work. The
Times proposal is now (according to the London
correspondent of the Manchester Guardian) to
be acted upon. Mr. Gladstone has—after
offering the post to Lord Westbury and
Sir Bounden Palmer, and being refused in each case
—determined on leaving it vacant. The Mastership
of the Rolls in Ireland is yet unfilled, and rumour
says that Mr. Sullivan, the Attorney-General, insists
on being appointed to it. If this be true, the specu-
lations run as to whether the Solicitor-Generalship
would fall to Mr. Serjeant Dowse or Sir Colman
O'Loghlen, the. present Judge-Advocate.

THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

A has been expected that Sir John Simeon, M.P.
for.the Isle of Wight, would be raised to the Peerage
and appointed to a colonial governorship ; and that
another constituency would be added to the long list
of those requiring representatives. It appears, how-
ever, that Sir John is not to be made a peer. The
extensive preparations for a contest on the part of the
Conservatives will, therefore, have been in vain.
Probably Mr. Gladstone is too busy to confer
dignities. The Saturday Review put forth the
ingenious hypothesis that when the Premier
was at llawarden he rambled about the
mountains on fine days, stayed at home and
made a bishop when it was showery, and in rainy
weather gave himself up to an idle day and made a
baronet. But even if the proper weather for peer-
manufacture sets in, the right hon. gentleman has
more important work on his hands now.

PENIANS INTERRUPTING A TENANT-RIGHT
MEETING.

The agitators for the release of the Fenian prisoners
are attempting to carry out their threats. They
demand the freedom of the prisoners before they will
condescend to notice any reforms. Not only so, but
they intend to prevent anyone else asking
for that which they themselves do not care to
have. It is said to be their intention to prevent all
tenant-right meetings until Mr. Gladstone relents.
This policy was acted upon at Limerick on Monday.
The High Sheriff, the son of Mr. Smith O'Brien, had
called a meeting to consider the land question.
Shortly before the hour at which tho chair
was to be taken an oromnised mob came
into the square where the platform was erected;
destroyed it—that is to say, the platform—
hustled the gentlemen who were to have taken part
in the meeting out of the square, and so conducted
themselves that it was determined to abandon the ori-
ginal design. Some "violent scenes occurred," the Times
says; but serious breach of the peace took place.
An energetic clergyman, after striking out straight
from the shoulder, was quieted by a blow on the eye;
and some policemen, who thought it their duty to
resist, were injured ; but the excitement cooled as
suddenly as it had been raised.
London, England, 1869-11-03

THE BYRON CONTROVERSY.

When the Byron controversy was first raised a
great deal was expected from l)r. Lushington, and
much capital was made by one side in the discussion
out of his silence. To him Lady Byron had confided
her secret; from him she had obtained an opinion
which justified her in the eyes of the world
in separating from her husband. Dr. Lushington,
though frequently appealed to, keeps the sternest,
strictest silence on the point. The Post tells us that
this reserve on the part of the eminent lawyer
"is in no respect attributable to his age or state
of health, his intellect being remarkably clear
and vigorous for his age ; nor does ho shun allu-
sions to the topic, although he declines to state
whether Lady Byron did or did not make the specific
charge in question." The learned doctor probably
holds that a lawyer's secret is like a priest's—it has
the sanctity of the confessional.

THE CLERICAL COMPLAINT OP TIM
CONGREGATIONS.

The clergymen of London, instead of being criti-
cised this season in the columns of the Tunes, instead
of having their sermons pulled to pieces, and their
general conduct questioned, are taking courage to
themselves denounce the laity. The pews have
to bear the fire of scolding in the press instead of the
pulpit. This proceeding is slightly unfair perhaps,
seeing that the minister gets the people every week,
and says unto them that which seemeth fit in his
own eyes, and they are not able to utter
one word in roly. The clerics, however,
have a word to sai over and above their " weekly
ministrations." Ard their complaint is that the
church-going publicts parsimonious ; it does not care
to pay seat rents. It comes inside church doors
,
Sunday after Sunda, hears sermon following sermon
in a good, comfortab o seat
with a " fine view of the
preacher ; " but it doss not care to pay up for what it
obtains. And so fin salaries of the clergymen aro
low. Might we suggest to those who have found
this, the expediency of abolishing the " rent " alto-
gether P People wh, do not care to pay a regular
tax would yet put )37 money voluntarily week by
week. They will /it be compelled; they have no
objection to offer of tieir own free will. The rent is
an easer of the conscince, too. It is not what might
be given; but it reprsents something bestowed.
