IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING.
Their lordships reassembled at 5 o'clock.
THE ADDRESS.

Lord CARYSFORT moved an address to her Majesty
in answer to her Speech on the opening of Parliament.
His lordship said it was matter of high gratification that
so satisfactory a state of things existed as set forth in the
Royal Speech. He hoped the address he then had the
honour to move would be carried unanimously.
Viscount MONOK seconded the motion, and in doing
so touched upon the various topics contained in the
Speech they had heard, and said he felt certain the
arrangtenetas made therein would give general satis-
faction.

LUXEMBUBG.

The London Conference of 1867 decreed that the Grand
Duchy of Luxemburg should belong neither to France nor
Prussia, but declined to guarantee its decision. It
omitted another important particular. It did not
provide for the demolition of the fortifications, which
undertaking is left to the inhabitants, who devote the sum
of thirty shillings a week to that purpose. When, at this
rate, will the demolition be completed ?

SCHOOL ACCOUNTS.

Canon Girdlestone has addressed a letter to the
Times on the subject of rural schools. lie gives a
summary of last year's accounts in his own parish
of Halberton, shewing that while the annual
working expenses of the school are £133, the
Government grant, the subscriptions, endow-
ment fund, and school pence together amount
only to about £lOO. This leaves a balance of
nearly £23 to be defrayed by the vicar. The annual
subscriptions are only £25, though that sum, small as
is it is, shews some improvement on the state of
affairs when Canon Girdlestone first took charge of
the parish, when the contributions were only
He thinks the case of Halberton is identical with that
of many other agricultural parishes, where the burden
of the school has to be borne by a very few
of those who ought to contribute. The vicar of
Halberton is therefore of opinion that even with im-
proved legislation there will still be a large number
of agricultural parishes without schools in which the
children of labourers can receive a sound elementary
education. He thinks that sonic effective means
should be devised by which all persons who are
responsible for the education of the labourer shall be
compelled to undertake their proper share of the cost.
Education is an indispensable condition of the per-
manent improvement of the agricultural labourer, the
object which the now existing Commission have
especially in view.

INDIA.

The great battle in Affgbanistan has been decisive—so
far as a conflict between Asiatic princes can be. Abdul
Rahman fled without any attendants, and a letter from a
high native authority says he has been taken prisoner. If
so, his days are numbered. Lord Mayo, says the Times
correspondent, has been met at the outset by the Russian
question, though whether those events in Affghanistan will
produce any change in our policy of "masterly inactivity"
remains to be seen. We already subsidise Shere Ali ;it
now remains for consideration whether we are to enter
into more intimate relations with him. The entire Asiatic
question centres in Affgbanistan. The country is worthless
except for military purposes ; but it commands the passes
into the Punjab, and although England could not
profit by the possession of Affghanistan, it would
be wrong to remit Russia to have it. The
Times, which counsels a policy of friendship with
Russia, agrees that the occupation of Affghanistan by our
rival could not be tolerated.

The army ot Abdul Rahman numuereu o,uuu
and 18,000 ; Shere Ali brought into the field 25,000 men,
with thirty or forty guns. The engagement commenced
in the morning and lasted till noon, when Abdul
Rahman Khan was totally defeated, and retreated
to a place set down as Sooltan Mahmoocl.
Here his dispirited army encamped for the night. The
army of the Ameer, however, pressed on, and Abdul
Rahman and his uncle fled during the night, without even
informing their men of their intention. The camp,
deserted by its leaders, was attacked next morning by
Shere Ali's troops, and most of those who escaped joined
the forces of the victors. War in Affghanistan is not
conspicuous for its amenities. Numbers of soldiers
belorging to the defeated army were blown from gun=.

Another skirmish on the frontier has taken place. This
time the difficulty, as in the last, is near Burmab, and so
far it has occupied only a body of armed police. The last
little war was in an entirely different quarter.
The Indian Government has taken such vigorous measures
to repress the barbarous practice of suttee, that an instance
now seldom occurs. But fOIIIC time ago a Brahmin
widow, sixty years of age, burned herself on the bier of
her husband. The local authorities made an example of
the chief actors in this affair by awarding seven years'
rigorous imprisonment to each of them.

PENNY SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The Liverpool Mercury is publishing from week to
week a list of subscribers to a testimonial which has
been started for Mr. Gladstone. Subscriptions,
"from a penny upwards," are received and acknow-
ledged. An inspection of the list shews a large
number of subscribers who offer the smallest sum
entitling them to acknowledgment. They pay their
penny and they have the pleasure of seeing their
names in print. The pleasure is cheaply earned,
even though our contemporary, with a wise discrimi-
nation, inserts only the surname of the penny sub-
scriber adds the initial of the christian name for
the twopenny subscriber, and reserves the full glory
of christian and surname for him who gives sixpence.
We confess to being somewhat sceptical about testi-
monials of this kind. Any schoolboy will give a
penny to see his name in a newspaper. The
testimonial is to himself, not to the professed
object of it. The penny subscriptions of political
admirers are—like the "mites" of fashionable ladies—
misnomers and impertinences. The Belgravian
dowager seems to suppose that the value of the
widow's gift consisted in its being so small ; whereas,
it was the whole of her living, a million times more
than the Belgravian's half-crown. So with the penny
testimonialisers of Mr. Gladstone, if their admiration
is to be measured by the coin which they give, it is
simply worthless, not to say insulting. Of course the
real admirers, those who would be prepared on a
suitable occasion to make a sacrifice in order to
express their admiration, keep aloof from the crowd
whose vanity prompts them to deposit at a newspaper
office the first stray copper which they find in their
Dockets.

TIME PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
TnE REAL NICKEL SILVER, Introduced more
than 3 years ago by WILLIAM S. BURTON, when
PLATED by the patent prooess of Messrs. Elkint:ton and
Co., is, beyond all comparison, the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such, either use-
fully or ornamentally, as by nopossible test can it be distin-
guished from real silver.
A small useful set, guaranteed of first quality for finish and
durability, as follows :

LUXEMBURQ.

The London Conference of 1867 decreed that the Grand
Duchy of Luxemburg should belong neither to France nor
Prussia, but declined to guarantee its decision. It
omitted another important particular. It did not
provide for the demolition of the fortifications, which
undertaking is left to the inhabitants, who devote the sum
of thirty shillings a week to that purpose. When, at this
rate, will the demolition he completed ?

OTHER DIFFICULTIES IN THE EAST.

But the hydra-headed Eastern question is not yet done
with. No sooner has Greece been put down than other
States spring up in its place. The announcement that the
Republican party in Roumania is preparing to overthrow
the present Ministry by force is OrPdagthened by further
intelligence in the Paris journals. These state that a con-
ppira4 against. the life of Prince Charles has been
divulged
.throvgfr•the treachery of one of the conspi-
rators. Further, Russia and Prussia are about
to press the Porte to give up the seaport of
Spitza to Montenegro, and thus enable that State to com-
municate with the sea, from which it is at present shut
out by Ottoman territory. This, it appears, is the object
of the Prince of Montenegro's journey to St. Petersburg;
but it is hardly likely that the Porte will make such a
concession at the present time.
