The Price of Gold.

The quotaihn of gold at I'aris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 2M. 15.3. per £1 sterling.
Onconiparing these rates with the Eu..;lisli Mint price of
£f 141 per ounce for staudarti ,41)Iti, it appe.‘re; that
gold at the above price is ab ut 1-10th p r cent. dearer in
Paris than in I.Dndun.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about I 81 percent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the Uni states.

The remains of the late Major-General Ormsby,
R.A., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military
Academy, Woolwich, were interred on Monday
morning in theaCharlton Cemetery with military

** THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE."

The reports of a compact, more or less rigorous, between
France, Austria, and Italy are still persistently circulated.
The " triple alliance " is the one topic nf the day in Italy,
though none of the leading organs are able to furnish any
information respecting it. The Geneva Journal is, how-
ever, more fortunate. It says nothing about Austria,
but affirms that no doubt exists as to the fact of an
alliance being concluded between France and Italy.

TURKEY AND PERSIA.

The dispute which threatened to culminate in a war
between Turkey and Persia is now to be settled by the
popular remedy for international disorders. The diffi-
culty, which relates to the frontier of the two countries,
will be referred to a commission, which will definitely
map out the boundary line. Several European repre.
sentatives will take part in the deliberations, as in the
case of the commission which determined the frontier of
Montenegro.

[ ADVERTISEMENT.I-llolloway's Ointment and Pills
Better than a fortune.- -The study of disease, its causes, and a
perpetual search for its remedies, have anxiously engaged the
attention of philosophers from time immemorial. Yet this grand
discovery was reserved for Holloway. It is purely vegetable
extracts : can be safely and effectively used by all persons suffer-
ing from external and internal ailments. The directions wrapped
round every pot of ointment and every box of pills are amply
sufficient to guide the most diffident, and to encourage the most
timid. When illness makes its appearance and remedies are
eagerly sought after, none will be found more effectual than
Bolloway's in alleviating and encouraging the pains of the dis-
eased and the afflicted. Both ointment and pills purify and
preserve.

THE ERNEST JONES COMMEMORATION.

It is now definitely decided that the procession
and meeting in memory of Mr. Ernest Jones
shall be held on Good Friday; and as yet no
order preventing the meeting has been issued from
Scotland Yard. The speakers announced are Mr.
Holyoake, the Rev. J. Appletree, Messrs. Bradlaugh,
Howell, Wade, and
Lucraft. Amidst general con-
demnation, Mr. Holyoake raises a solitary note in
defence of the meeting. He says the objections to
it proceed from the middle class, whose con-
ventional cant Mr. Holyoake is much disgusted with.
The working men, he says, have sympathies
which they want to express. "Do we live in Paris,
that working men should be required to obtain per-
mission of Colonel Henderson, or the Home Office,
whether they shall listen for twenty minutes to a
few words spoken for the dead whom they have it
in their hearts to hononr ? Is the sentiment of
reverence and unforgetfulness by the people for
one who spoke for them alike in peace and peril so
common that it needs no encouragement ? and are
the regulations of London such that its manifesta-
tion must be frowned down ?" With regard to the
fitness of the day, Mr. Holyoake says, " I would take
no part in any public proceeding which could justly
be held as inconsistent with the decorum of a day
regarded as sacred by my countrymen, but I have
always learned that grateful reverence for the ser-
vices of the dead is an act sacred in itself."

THE PROTESTANT SUCCESSION.

The Rock has at last got hold of a formidable
bogey with which to frighten itself and to produce
fear in other people. The question " Whither are
we drifting ?" is answered by our contemporary.
We are now and have been engaged as a nation for
some time past "in removing every obstacle that
the wisdom of our ancestors had raised against the
transference of the throne from the Protestant House
of Hanover to the Popish Stuarts." And the time
being fully ripe, the Stuart has now appeared. A
writer in the Church 2Vezes has alarmed the Rock by
saying " under all circumstances, I wonder we hear
nothing of the representative of the Stuarts. He is
kept bottled-up in America for service in England
or Ireland, when opportunity may offer. I once had
a glimpse of him, and he wanted to incite me to
mortal combat for having talked about the obsolete
tyranny of the Stuarts.' All in good time for his
appearance on the scene." The Rock does not quite
put faith in this bottled-up gentleman ; but tells its
readers that the ex-Duke of Modena is—treating
the hateful incursion of Dutch William as a mere
usurpation—the rightful heir to the English throne.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY.

The governor and directors of the Hudson's Bay terri-
tory have determined to recommend the acceptance of
Earl Granville's proposal to the shareholders. Whether
the latter will listen to the advice of the board is a ques-
tion which will be settled at the meeting which takes
place to-day. But it is abundantly clear that the com-
pany will never have an opportunity more favourable to
their interests than the present. The terms offeredex by Earl
Granville are good, though not what the company pected.
The shareholders retain all their hunting rights, and, in
addition, will receive a sum of money equal to a return of
23 a share on all their subscribed capital, a large extent of
land around each of their present trading stations, the
right to select two millions of acres in the best part of the
country, and will enjoy a certain freedom from taxation.
Of course they will suffer in one respect : the value of
the region as a hunting-ground will diminish as it becomes
colonised. But this deterioration, which must be a work
of time, will be counterbalanced by the increase in the
value of the land which is retained.

THE ACTION BY DR. GAT►RETT.

An action arising out of the agitation for the closing of
public-houses on the Sunday, bas just been concluded at
Manchester. The well-known Dr. Garrett, rector of
Christ Church, Moss-side, Manchester, sued the Rev.
T. Stowell, rector of Christ Church, Salford, and
Mr. Robert Whitworth for £5,000 damages, on
account of libel. Dr. Garrett, as an officer
of the "Cential Association for Stopping the Sale of
Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday," did that on behalf of
the society which the defendants alleged he bad no
right to do; and the latter (as secretaries of the association)
published an explanation of the facts. This explanation
Dr. Garrett took as reflecting upon his character, and
brought his action at the last Winter Assizes at Man-
chester. The judge, however, as soon as had heard the
bearings of the case, intimated his opinion that the ques-
tion was not one io be investigated in a court of law.
A verdict for the plaintiff for £5,000 was then taken by
consent, subject to a reference. Mr. Robcit Gladstone,
of Manchester, was chosen arbitrator. lie has now
annulled the veidict, and ordered plaintiff to pay all
costs. He publishes a letter, however, in which he says :
"I am desirous of preventing any misconception which
might arise as to the nature of my decision, and wish to
state that the defendants upon the reference disclaimed
all intention of imputing to the plaintiff any dishonesty in
the appropriation of the moneys which came into his
hands. I trust, therefore, that my award may not be
construed prejudicially to the plaintiff with reference to
Any imputation of that character." The plaintiff inserts
an advertisement paragraph in one of the Manchester
papers, in which he says the decision is so obviously against
evidence that he shall soon take an opportunity of laying
the whole of the facts before the public.

7HE EDEVB URG 11 MUSEUM.

The Lord Provost of Edinburgh has received in-
timation to the effect that the Government are pre-
pared to insert in the estimates for the ensuing year
a sum of £lO,OOO towards the extension of the
Museum of Science and Art, on the understanding
that the ulthnatecost will no t exceed £53,335 17s. 2d.,
and also under certain conditions with regard to
properties in the neighbourhool of the building.
On Monday, at the High Court of Justiciary, James
Ashley and John Wynn were found guilty of steal-
ing a number of articles of jewellery from the
Museum in February last. Ashley was sentenced to
eight and Wynn to seven years' penal servitude.
The prisoner Wyne, in his declaration, described
the way in which the theft was committed. He
stated that Ashley cut a small hole near the lock of
the jewel case, and inserte 1 the bla,le of a pair of
scissors, with a hich he forced the lid ; that while
so engage 1 Ashley leant over the case, as if looking
at the arAeles ; that the operation lasted about ten
minutes, and that at the time two policemen were
standing near talking to two young ladies.

GOOD FRIDAY AT THE LONDON DOCKS.

The Rev. C. F. Lowder, incumbent of St. Peter's,
London Docks, has given notice that on Good Friday
" The Way of the Cross will be made with litanies
and hymns in procession through the parish, and
short addresses will be given at each station." The
Daily News disapproves of this announcement, and
hopes that " Mr. Lowder and his friends will find it
convenient to conduct their worship next Friday
somewhere within doors under guarantees of peace,
quiet, and good order." Whatever may be thought
of the particular ceremony which he has selected, it is
obvious that a service " indoors" would fail of the very
objectwhich Mr. Lowder desires. Ile wants to impress
upon the vast mass of heathen living in his
parish, and which never can be persuaded to enter a
thumb, the great event which is celebrated on
Friday. Services ever so impressive, sermons ever
so eloquent " indoors " are of no avail to those out-
side. How are these to be reached ? The Daily
News fears that there will be a disturbance. If
we remember rightly the Apostles created several
disturbances, but thcpe did not persuade them that
they ought to do their teaching." indoors" and leave
the outsiders to take care of themselves. Our
contemporary has no idea of mission work, and yet
it is needed quite as much at the London Docks as in
Patagonia. Repeating "Dearly beloved brethren"
twice a week is not quite adequate to the occasion.

GREECE AFTER THE RUPTURE.

King George has returned to Athens, after his tour
through the southern part of his kingdom. He has
been absent twenty days. The Ind(pendance Beige
says that the young sovereign has everywhere
met with a warm and sympathetic reception.
Nowhere did the conduct of the populace justify the
rumours of the discontent which was said to have been
awakened by the solution of the difficulty with the Porte.
The internal condition of the kingdom is improving.,
though, of course, at no very rapid pace. Changes are to
be made in the personnel of the Administration, which
greatly needs such reform.

THE ELECTIONS IN HUNGARY.

The Government cannot fail to command a large ma-
jority at the termination of the elections now pending.
About 200 members have already been returned, and of
these the Government has secured a majority of 50. In
Transylvania it is expected that this superiority will be
still further increased. The result shews that the people
have now confidence in their rulers, and the Vienna
journals all agree that this feeling is increased by the
friendship which, all alliance rumours apart, has un-
doubtedly been established between Austria and Italy.

PAINFUL ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

x esterday morning an inquest was held in Windmill-
street, City-road, upon the body of Elizabeth Margaret
Wilkins, aged two years and three months, who was alleged
to have died from starvation. The facts connected with the
case are of the most painful description,:and were gathered
from the evidence of Margaret Wilkins, the child's mother.
Margaret Wilkins was the daughter of a wealthy farmer
in Worcestershire, and seven years ago she was persuaded
by a young medical man to elope with him. It was given
out that they were married, and they lived in good style
at Islington. 'I hey had four children. After some
years the father of the young man, who is very
wealthy, discovered that the couple were not married,
and he insisted on their separation. This, after some
demur was agreed to, and she was left with her youngest
child and an allowance of 10s. a week. After a while the
other children were sent back to her, upon her
aking a complaint that she was not allowed to see
them, and further assistance was refused. She fell into
great poverty, which she attempted torelieve by singing at
music halls. When this resource failed, she applied to the
parish for relief, and they-allowd her 3a. a week and
three loaves. From want of food her youngest child fell
ill, and on Tuesday she got a medical order marked
" urgent." On Friday the doctor came, and that morning
her child died. The jury found a verdict "That the
deceased child died from mesenteric disease, accelerated
by want of food and medical attendance."

THE TEMPLE CONTROVERSY.

The discussion about the Bishop designate of
Exeter proceeds apace, developing marvellous powers
in the English language for "gentlemanly abuse."
The impatient zeal and unreasoning fervour with
which one section of the Church seems ready to stig-
matise the other covers only a small portion
of argument ; and this seems poor enough.
Archdeacon Denison, in his own dogmatic way, is
gloomily sad about the whole thing; and, in a letter
to the Standard, mournfully bewails the fact that
there has been no collective and corporate faithfulness
in resisting the " scandalous " appointment. But,
though this is an unhappy
state of things, there
is a " greater sin " beyond ; and the vicar
of East Brent is evidently afraid it will be
committed. Dr.. Temple . will be conse-
crated by " bishops; " elected by members of
the Church. Thus will the Church be once more
betrayed by her own friends. But the Archdeacon
is not a member of the Chapter : Prebendary Sanders
is. Ho spoke at Exeter on rhursday.very strongly in
favour of the bishop designate—said there could
not be a greater friend to the Church; and
prophesied that Dr. Temple would be most popular.
The Times correspondence runs very nearly all in one
direction—for Dr. Temple. Two correspondents who
wroto yesterday attack, the one Convocation, the
other Dr. Pusey's letters. Against the former
the old contentions aro reproduced, that it cannot
legally act contrary to law, and it has done so in the
matter of-" Essays and Ileviews;" nor does it repre-
sent the Church. The opponents of Dr. Pusey con-
tend that there are no heresies in Dr. Temple's views;
what Dr. Pusey attacks are, in fact, holy truths.

THE COMING ATTACK ON TUB CHURCH.

The Bishop of Ely is one of the many leaders of
the Church who are convinced that the work o'
disestablishment is but just commencing, and
that the victory recently won will be followed
by a further advance. The mode in which the
Establishment in Ireland fell was more instructive
than its fall. English Dissent, not Irish Romanism,
Dr. Browne assigns 8.5 the true motive power. There
were doubtless men of high tone and character, feel-
ing deeply for the wrongs of Ireland, who shed lustre
on all the rest. But with them were the Liberation
Society, the Scotch Presbyterians, jealous of State
influence, the Irish priesthood, and, throwing their
dead weight in the scale, the unbelieving, sceptical,
indifferent, Besides these there were
many Churchmen, who sighed for relief from
earnest and ungodly.
State control, in the hope that separation would both
increase progress and settle differences. All these
influences have combined, and their efforts are not
restricted to the Irish Church alone :
Turning from the Irish to
.the English Church, we
see that church-rates are gone ; the marriage law is
changed ; there is a design to secularise all education;
there is a threat of immediate attack on the Welsh
Church, and the seats of the Bishops in the House of
Peers. Then the same influences are at work in conti
nental Christendom, the Church and the civil power
being often at open war. All seems to indicate that we
aro entering on a new era, passing, perhaps, as much
into a new atmosphere as those who lived in the times of
Constantine, or Charlemagne, or Hildebrand, or the Refor-
mation.

But though the danger is so imminent, it is the duty,
Dr. Browne pleads, of Churchmen to unite in the
endeavour to ward it off. The disasters of disesta-
blishment must be great

Perhaps the town clergy in a disestablished Church
would be richer than at present. But how could we pro-
vide for the country parishes? A parish of 1,000 people
would contain about 200 houses. In a poor parish each
household might contribute perhaps ss. a year for the sup-
port of a clergyman. • This would produce £5O a year as
the income of a man who had perhaps spent £3,000 on his
education—a sum which, sunk in his life, would give him
£3OO a year. Whore could we look for such a provision as
would restore to our 10,000 villages the blessing of a resi-
dent educated pastor, whose great end in life was the '....m-
-poral and eternal welfare of all around him ?

The poorer town population would be worse off, for
it is the defect of an independent Church that it can
give the supply only where there is the demand,
whereas 'it is the mission of a National Church to
seek out where the demand is least and the need
greatest.

FAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee egynestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no moro can bo admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

LOIVDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 30, 1869.

Mr. LAYARD'S career as Chief Commissioner of
Public Works has not been a brilliant one. He
has failed to leave any mark of his rule on the
metropolis. He blundered more than once, and
that very flagrantly. The Palace of Justice, thanks
to his interference, has not yet been commenced.
His fantastic notion of hiding it away in a hole
and corner behind Howard-street, Strand, where
it could only possibly have been seen by people
taking boat for that express purpose, and viewing
it from the river and over the Embankment, made
of the already confused schemes, in regard to the
projected Law Courts, a confusion worse con-
founded. Mr. LAYARD simply set the advocates of
the Carey-street site and of the Embankment site
(both of which he rejected) by the ears, without
securing in any way the carrying out of his own pet
project. By way of economising, the nation was to
be put to an entirely new expense. A site had not
only, in compliance with the suggestions of the Royal
Commission, been purchased, but had been actually
cleared. Between St. Clement Danes and Temple
Bar, running northwards in the direction of Lincoln's-
Inn-Fields, the hitherto densely peopled locality of
Clement's-Inn and the surrounding neighbourhood
had been transformed into a howling wilderness of
bricks-and-mortar, and of lath-and-plaster. A huge
space had been cleared for the express purpose of hav-
ing erected, there, in the very heart of London and
exactly in the very midst of all the Inns of Court,
Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn to the north, the Inner
Temple and Middle Temple to the south—neverthe-
less all that had been thus done, with the approval
and co-operation of Mr. LAYARD'S immediate prede-
cessors in the conduct of the Edileship of England,
meaning the duties devolving upon the First Com-
missioner of Public Works, were to lbe summarily
cancelled in order that a bran new idea of Mr.
LAYARD'S own should be carried out instead.
Never was there such a fiasco in the whole his-
tory of that particular department of our Ad-
ministration. It will long be held in con-
temptuous remembrance, as such for the simple rea-
son that, in the end, it had to be abandoned, this
wonderful new project of Mr. LAYARD'S, quite as
summarily as it had been originally projected. So

IRISH CULTIVATION.

Mr. Grace Lambert, M.P. for Buckinghamshire, has
been combining business with pleasure, by means of
an Irish tour. He notices a somewhat neglected
feature in the land question—the style in which the
soil is cultivated. Mr. Lambert affirms that the
Irish system of agriculture is deplorably bad.
By far the greatest portion of the country
is so divided into small enclosures (which
swallow up and disfigure the land) and badly and
slovenly cultivated, that it does not produce one-half
of what it is capable of yielding. Nobody in particular
is to blame for this result. It was brought about by.
the excessive population, finding no extra employment
in manufacture, gradually dividing and subdividing
the soil. Mr. Lambert has no hope that Government
can very effectively deal with the case; but ho
suggests a moderate improvement. It should
be compulsory on landlords to give leases to tenants
holding 25 to 30 acres of land worth £1 per
acre, such leases to last for twenty-one years, and to
contain a map and valuation of the farm and build-
ings, with a clause stipulating that if at the end of
the twenty-one years the landlord evicts or raises the
rent, he should compensate the tenant for all improve-
ments. Cases should be tried at quarter sessions,
not before a jury. If a tenant wishes to leave him.
self, he is to have a right to sell his interest to the
incoming tenant, the landlord retaining a veto on the
choice of the-tenant and right of pre-emptio..

THE NATIONAL EDUCATION LEAGUE AND THE
" RELIGIOUS " DIFFICULTY.

The announcement that the National Education
League is not formed to advocate " secular" educa-
tion has not been received with general favour by its
friends ; and, strange to say, the protests against its
religious character come in two instances from
ministers of religion. Mr. Miall, a Baptist minister,
of Dalston, and a Surrey rector, both demand that
riot even the Bible unexplained, not commented upon,
shall be read to the children. Yet the Bible—
taking the lowest ground—is often the only litera-
ture with which children of the poor are brought in
contact. They know nothing of poetry or eloquence
beyond what they meet therein.

TEE SOUTHWARK ELECTION.

The choice of the Copservative candidate in South-
wark seems hardly settled, but- there is a decided
disposition to prefer Mr. Morgan Howard to Mr.
Alderman Cotton. The former stood for Lambeth
last November, and made a better fight than Mr.
Cotton did in Southwark. Mr. Morgan Howard polled
one-half as many votes as the Liberals, whereas Mr.
Cotton's proportion was not more than two-fifths. A
strong section of the Liberalparty have asked Mr. M.
Gibson to stand. Mr. Bradlaugh will not come for-
ward. It is stated that Mr. William Allen, secretary
of the Amalgamated Engineers' Society, is to be the
candidate elected by the Labour Representation
League. He will be put forward without reference
to Whig or Conservative interests, and any cry about
dividing the Liberal interest will be disregarded. Mr.
Allen has long been a resident in Southwark, and was
recently, if ho be not now, a vestryman of Christ
Church parish.
