METROPOLI7AN GOSSlP—Tuesday.

The opposition to Dr. Temple has entirely collapsed. It
is probable that another committee and president will be
brought out, but the promoters of the movement have not
the smallest expectation that they will be able to prevent
the election. Dean Duncombe is one of the leading
High Churchmen who have refused to join the association.
Earl Nelson is so irritated by the, opposition to Dr. Temple
that he has withdrawn from the Church Institution,which
has lent its rooms to the agitators. Many other High Church
clergy have declined to follow Dr. Pus ey's lead in this matter.
The Dean of Exeter has not yet given any decisive
reply, but has merely written vaguely, expressing regret at
the appointment. He has refused to allow Bishop
Trower's claims to vote as sub-dean at the election.
It is not yet known for certain if the prebendaries will
be allowed to vote. Should they not be, there will
probably be an appeal to one of the Westminster Courts
for a mandamus. A similar case has been tried lately. The
prebendaries of St. Paul's claimed the right to vote at the
election of proctors to Convocation. It was refused, but on
an appeal the right was established. The publicans talk of
getting up a memorial against the appointment, for the chair-
man of the Alliance meeting is in their bad books. The Queen
is said to bo greatly irritated at the opposition which this
appointment has created. It is even asserted in clerical
circles that she used great pressure to obtain the appoint-
ment of Dr. Rowland Williams to Salisbury, but that Mr.
Gladstone would not undertake the responsibility of such
a selection.

Mr. Ayrton is not likely to walk over the course at the
Tower Hamlets. Mr. Coope, who spent £B,OOO at the last
election, is resolved to come forward again. He does not
expect to win on this occasion, but believes that he will be
successful on the third time of asking. It is not likely
that there will be opposition to Mr. Kirkman Hodgson at
Southwark. This gentleman formerly represented Brid-
port,and was an unsuccessful candidate for Falmouth at the
last_election.

that he should have allowed it to stand is hardly
heretical :

A combination in defence of any article of the faith is a
ioblo thing; but to come together against a man for any-
thing short of heresy, immorality, or well-established
icompetence is a hateful thing, because very like perse-
;ution ; and it must not be forgotten that all who cannot
lee the heretical teaching will assuredly believe that
it is mainly a feeling against one party in the Church
which has caused for a time the proposed amalgamation of
the other two.

weather they receive £l, £2, and sometimes £5.
each man. The scale of reward depends entirely on
the amount of risk incurred and the exposure en-
dured. For services in saving life and for exer-
cising the lifeboats quarterly, the institution paid last
year £0,573. The gratifying statement is also made
that 12,000 persons are engaged in the work ; yet of
this large number only one man lost his life within
the last twenty months.
