THE /LOYAL SUPREMACY.

-
Mr. J. G. llubbard who represented Bucking-
ham in the Conservative interest in the last
Parliament, writes to the Times on the subject of
the Royal Supremacy. 11Ir. Hubbard's religious
opmion s triumph very decidedly over his politics in
his views on this subject. He is a high
Churchman, and he rejects altogether the notion
of the Head of the Church which Dr. Ball
promulgated in the debate on the second clause, and
which was accepted by Mr. Disraeli, and by the Con-
servatives generally. The representative of Dublin
University based his argument on the well-known
statute of Ring Henry V 111., which enacts that the
King shall be reputed the only supreme head on
earth of the Church cf England. Mr. Hubbard
points out that the Act in which this is
contained Mary, and he
was repealed by
argues that it was never re-enacted. Several
eminent
cii-mmentators have laid clowna different
opinion ; but Mr. Hubbard thinks that it is notorious
that Elizabeth, rejecting as profane the title borns
by her father and brother, took as the designation of
her own office and prerogative that of "Supreme
Governor of this realm, as well in spiritual [and
ecclesiastical causes as temporal." The Act by
which it is thought the Act was re-enacted is
Ist Elizabeth, cap. I ; but the title " Supreme
head of the Church" never once occurs in it.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The London correspondent of the Dublin Evening
Mail, who is a well-informed writer, adheres to his
statement that the Irish Church Bill will not be ac-
cepted by the Lords in the shape in which it will
reach the Upper House. The Peers will either trans-
form it to such an extent that the Commons will
refuse to accept the amendments, or, to use the
words of our contemporary, " will boldly throw
it out on the second reading, justifying
the step on the ground. that the country
has not sufficiently considered the matter, and that
it is the duty of the Upper House to resist the
sudden, unreasoning, and . tyrannical action of a
brute majority." Why a majority should be "brute,"
wo do not understand ; but no doubt a party
becomes more spiritual in proportion as it is smaller.
Clearly, when it has no corporate existence it roust
be entirely spirit, or else nothing.
The correspondent goes on to unfold the green
flag. He is so intensely loyal that if the Queen
will not do her duty by setting her single will
against that of the nation, Ireland must teach her
her duty. So he says, "lien are beginning to think
that if the issue were fairly put to the country it
would not decide to overturn the Constitution, and
incur dangers the nature of which they are now
beginning to perceive. I know the contingency of
i
a Repeal of the Union s the subject of familiar
discourse, not only among heated Irish Protestants,
but between men of large political experience."
Then there is a word for those who care
about such carnal things as trade; they are told that
if the Union were dissolved, " the trade of America
would have its European entrepot in Ireland," and
that would soon bring about a complete separation
of Ireland from England." This is followed by a
fearful vision of " a break up of the British empire."
All this is to happen because the Queen no longer
appoints bishops in Ireland.
. Truly how great a
matter a little fire km dleth. The correspondent,
aghast at the lurid picture which he has drawn,
believes that the country would be equally terrified,
and that another general election would sweep the
Liberals into St. George's Channel or to the Bishop
of Cork's blank. All this would be very dreadful
if we had not heard it whenever any political change
had to be effected. As it is, it is only very funny.
We have not yet done with this famous correspon-
dent. He says : As an additional evidence that
people are beginning to reflect, I may mention a
rumour, very generally current, that a concession of
equal terms to the Church as those offered to
Cardinal Cullen in the matter of the capitalisation
of life incomes is under consideration. It is said that
fourteen years' purchase all round might be yielded,
if brought forward in the House of Lords. I give
the story for what it is worth." Well, what is it
worth ? That is just what the correspondent's readers
are most interested in knowing; that is just what he
cannot tell them. The inference is that the story is
worthless.

RANGOON AND OdINA.

Mr. G. DUFF, iu reply to Colonel Grey, said nothin
further with respect to the improvement of tLe commu-
nication between Raugoin'iantiChina, had occurred since
the surveyswas discontinued in the year 1867.
IRISH CHURCH BILL.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Sir F. Ileygate, said he
did not think the Irish Church Bill would be the best
place to introduce a clause enabling limited owners of lard
to borrow, and the Commissioners for Public Works to
lend sums not exceeding a fixed per contage of the value
of such land repayable upon the principal of the loans for
drainage, farm buildings and labourers houses, for the
purpose of assisting in the erection of churches, chapels,
and places of worship. Ho thought it best to deal with
the matter in a separate bill, and as soon as the contmit'.4
on the Irish Church Bill had been concluded a bill would
be brought in to carry out such a proposal.
The house then resumed the Committee on the bill pro-
moted by her Majesty's Government.
Sir G. JENKINSON moved an amendment to provide
for the case of a vacancy in a parish taking place 'within a
few months of the passing of the act in parishes which
had hitherto been well cared for, so as to provide
for the parish not being left without any spiritual in-
structor. The college of Maynooth was the only
permanent endowment which bad been wade by the til,
but he hoped the First Lord of the Treasury would adopt
the spirit of the amendment if he objected to the words to
which he had expressed it.
Mr. GLADSTONE denied that any plrmanent
ment had been macro to the Col'ege .Alaynooth.

LIFE PEERAGES.

Supposing that the Whig Earl and the Tory Mar-
quis persuade the House of Lords to agree to life
peerages, is there anybody who will accept the boon
if offered ? It is hinted that the first batch of life
peers will include Mr. Cole, C. 8., Mr. Dickens, and
that celebrated, but now retired, accoucheur, Sir
Charles Locock. Perhaps this is only a joke. Cer-
tainly if it be anything more, the fact that the first
and the third have received the new dignity will
make it absolutely worthless in the eyes of the men
for whose benefit the dignity is supposed to be in-
vented—eminent lawyers and politicians without
much property. If, however, a judicious selection
is made, the dignity will soon become more valuable
even than an hereditary peerage, inasmuch as
it will imply distinguished merit on the part
of him who wears it; while the hereditary peerage
will be conferred upon the men who have no other
claim than the fact that they are " acrecl up to the
lips, consoled up to the chins-2' With one-half of the
creation life peerages will not be popular, for they
will confer no title upon the wives. The helpmeet of
a life-peer will be plain Mrs., just as an aich-
bishopess is ; the children also will not be entitled
to use the word " Honourable" on their cards. The
rule seems rather hard when we remember that the
title of " Lady " is borne by the wife of a successful
cheesemonger, who has been knighted because he
happened to be mayor on the day that some event of
interest happened in the Royal Family.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween .1,000 and 4,000 weekly.
Tho Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

A TERRIBLE RUMOUR.

It is reported that if the Opposition carry their
obstructive policy too far they will find that Mr.
Gladstone has a rod in store for them, the use of which
they will not at all like. The Premier will, it is said,
either refuse, or at least postpone, the Whitsuntide
holidays if the preamble of the Irish Church Bill has
not been passed before the Feast of Pentecost. It will
be remembered that the House was induced to accept
half its usual vacation at Easter on the understanding
that the deficiency should be made up at the end of
the Fifty days. But if the holiday has not been
earned, if the House has proved itself refractory, the
arrangement will not be carried out. Clearly Mr.
Gladstone is bent upon giving the Lords full time to
consider the important measure which is now being
so hotly debated.

TIIE STRIKE IN BELGIUIf.

Up to Tuesday evening no progress.
had been made
towards a settlement of the labour disputes in Belgium.
On the contrary, the strike has spread. A large number
of carpenters employed at the Cockerell establishment at
Seraing, the scene of the late strike, have refused to work.
They had looked for an increase of wages to the extent
of about a halfpenny an hour, but the demand was
neglected, and the men packed -up their tools. " More
wages" seems to be the warcry throughout this great
movement. The men were reported to be peaceable, but
obstinately indisposed to resume work on the same terms.
A large meeting of colliers has tal ..n place at Mons. In-
flammatory speeches were made. Several members of the
International Society have been arrested.

THE ITALIAN AMY.

A 'scheme for the reorganisation of the Italian army
after the example of the great continental Powers
has been presented to the Florence Chamber of Deputies
by the Minister of War. From the beginning of
next year Italy will have an effective force of
620,000. The figure of the active army is fixed
at 400,000; the remainder will constitute the reserve. The
peace force is to be dependent on the annnal Budget ; and
if this rule be strictly carried out, the peace effective will
be undoubtedly small. If the strength of the army be
measured by the capabilities of the Budget, Italy ought to
have an army as small as that of the United States. The
mode of enlistment will be that practised throughout
Europe. A contingent of recruits will be conscribed
every year, and a similar number will complete their term
of service.

THE 11Lt YXOOTH CLAUSES IN THE IRISH

CHURCH BILL.

Mr. Whalley has given notice that he intends to move
the omission of Clauses 39 and 40 of the Irish Church Bill,
which relate to the College cf Maynooth, and that he will
substitute instead thererof words to the following effect:—
"That it is expedient that the Maynooth Grant shall cease
with the Irish Church Establishment ; be it enacted,
therefore, that no appointment shall after the pass-
ing of the Act be made ; that on the Ist of January,
1871, all property, real and personal, belonging to the
college, shall vest in the commissioners, subject to all
claims of private parties to vested interests of rights of
property therein ; and the commissioners shall, from the
same date, pay each year to every professor and office-
holder in the college, so long as he lives, an annuity equal
to the amount of yearly income of whichhewillbe deprived
by the Act."

On Sunday he went to the gaol of Cork and set free

called to account for his conduct next day, went off
in a tirade against Orangemen, and in favour of
liberty. He had previously expressed his belief that
if the- police force was altogether abolished the
country would be more peaceful ; and now no police-
man who is brought before him is believed if his
evidence is questioned by persons however notorious
for ill-deeds. The result is that thegalleries are filled
with a rabble who cheer the Mayor to the echo, and
hiss pertinaciously the other magistrates. Tho

THE PRESTON STRIKE.

From all accounts it would appear that the Preston
strike is very near its end. The masters having no
compunction in shutting their mills, and rather
hailing a pretext for doing so, the men being
without funds except those derived from other
districts, there being a large number of operatives
who are Willing to work, and the notice of
reduction having been given generally in places
which otherwfse would have contributed towards the
support of the Prestonians, there seems nothing for
it but for the strikers to submit to. the masters'
terms. The last blow will probably be fatal to the
continuance of the strike. The masters of East
Lancashire (from which large contributions have
come) have posted a notice that they will . for the
future pay less wages. If the men in this district
submit to the masters, they will hardly care to pay
towards their brethren who will not do so elsewhere.
If they decide to strike, they will have no money to
spare.

NEW ZEALAND.

Simultaneously with the war against the Maoris, a
much more active ecclesiastical war is being waged in the
newly-created New Zealand diocese of Dunedin. Dr.
Jenner was consecrated bishop in Dunedin in
1867, but manifested such strong ritualist ten.
dencies that the Colonial Church protested loudly
against his coining .out. Bishop Jenner promised
that he would remain in England until the
General Synod gave a decision on his claims. The Synod
decided that, for the peace of the Church, be had better
resign, but he has, nevertheless, arrived in New Zealand.
Bishop Harper, the colonial primate, declared that he had
come out without authority, and prohibited him from
preaching. This the Church in Dunedin thought too hard.
Bishop Jenner was not under ecclesiastical censure, and
might at least preach like any other minister. But the
primate adheres to his determination.

Consett Water, Dublin Port and Docks, King's Lynn
Docks and Railway, Launceston and South Devon Rail-
way, Scinde Railway Company, Spotley Bridge and Con-
Litt District Gas, and Southsea Railway.

Mr. HERMON asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether his attention had been called to the defi-
cient platform accommodation at Preston railway station.
Mr. BRIGHT said that the Preston was without excep-
tion the most inconvenient and discreditable in the coun-
try. If the hon. member wished it, the Government had
no objection to the report being printed.

A dreadful boiler explosion occurred on Wednesday
at Bingley, near Bradford. Many persons were killed and
much cottage property destroyed.

The case of Saurin v. Starr, Kennedy, and others,
the great convent case, came before the Chief Clerk and Vice.
Chancellor Malins on Wednesday on an application cn the part
of the plaintiff for the production and inspection of docu-
ments. The chief clerk said be supposed the convent was
the place where the documents were deposited. As the
papers were in London he would make an order for their
production in court, and if Mr. Blake objected ho would go
before the vice chancellor.

A case was on Tuesday decided by the Richmond
borough magistrates showing that a toll cannot be demanded
for velocipedes. A young man named ilarker was passing
along the highway on a velocipede, and on coming to a toll-
gate near the town he was asked to pay a toll of 6d. He
paid the money, and afterwards asked for it to be returned,
but was refused, and he brought the case before the magis-
trates. The bench fined the tollgate-keeper 6d., and Bs.
6d. costs.

On Tuesday a woman named Emily Parker, alias
liimmer, was brought before the Liverpool magistrates,
charged with stealing two watches and £8 from a house in
that town at which she had taken lodgings. On the magis-
trates inquiring if she wasknown to the police, Mr. Walter, the
prosecuting solicitor, informed their worships that she had
been several times tried for felony. Some years ago she
charged her mother and aunt nith attempting to poison her.
They were tried before the late Lord Campbell, convicted,
and sentenced to death ; but it subsequently being &seer•
tained that the young woman's story was a fabrication, they
were reprieved. She was now remanded.
At the Sheffield Town llall on Tuesday two fruit
dealers were charged with having in their possession a quan-
tity of figs wholly unfit for human food. In one of the cases
the figs were in a state of decomposition in consequence
of being eaten away by a kind of parasite. When
the fruit is consumed in such a state it causes the
"intestinal itch," and also produces upon the skin a dis-
agreeable eruption. The bench inflicted a fine of 7s 6d.
each, for 113 boxes of this noxious fruit, making a total sum
of £42 7s. 6d., costs also to be paid by the offender, and the
figs, of course, to be destroyed. A retail dealer, who had
bought some of the fruit from the first defendant, was fined

TRADE REPORTS,

More reports of trade and commerce in different parts
of the world have been received from our consuls abroad.
The commerce of the Netherlands has been somewhat
depressed from various causes, while the Protectionists of the
United States may take a lesson from the manufacturers
of Germany. The high duties in America on cottons and
woollens have interfered with their trade, and conse-
quently they are opening up markets in Asia, and en•
deavouring to facilitate intercourse with the Levant.
The Chamber of Commerce at Leipzig had decided in favour
of changing the metallic base in Germany from silver
to gold. The great feature of Norway trade is of course
the cod fishery, and some idea of its importance may be
obtained from the fact that during the brief fishing season
at the Loffoden Islands between 20,000,000 and 30,000,000
fish are caught, which are cured for the foreign market.
The roes are salted and shipped to France as ground bait
for sardines, between 30,000 and 40,000 barrels being
annually shipped for this purpose. British shipmasters
will read with interest the report of Mr. Consul Vines, of
St. Michael's, Portugal, in reference to the imperfect con-
struction of the breakwater at Ponta Delgada. Accidents
and disasters are frequent, and Mr. Vines declares that
he can form no estimate of the annual losses
inflicted upon British capital, commerce, and ship-
ping by this means. The accounts from the
southern ports of the United States are very interesting.
Georgia, the scene of Sherman's famous march, has in
some respects rallied more quickly than her neighbours
from the desolation caused by the war. Her people have
shewn great energy and perseverance in restoring the
means of communication with the adjacent States, and
have reaped their reward in the increased trade of her
coasts. Savannah, the only shipping port of Georgia,
now ranks second in importance to New Orleans alone.
But though her export trade is so good, there is little
direct trade with Europe, most of the European goods
coming by way of New York. The want of labour is the
great difficulty of the State, and the Consul has little
hope in the improvement of the negro. Eventually, he
be believes, the abolition of slavery will be of signal
advantage of the State. The Consul at New Orleans
believes few planters in the South would wish to return to
slave labour, and he is more sanguine of the future
efficiency of the negro.
