THAMES.

COWARDLY ASSAtiLT.—John Fairbrass, a sawyer, and
henry Gorman, a potman, were brought before Mr. Ben-
son, charged with violently assaulting Patrick Briant, a
labourer, of No.ll, High-street, Bromley.
The complainant was passing along the Mile-end-road
last night at half-past 11 o'clock, in co:upany with his
wife and a young man, his son. They were interfering
with no one, were quite sober, and were on their way
home, when the prisoners insulted them, and one
of them demanded of the son " What aro you going to do
with that woman ?" He said " That is my mother." The
prisoners then struck Briant, his wifo, and his son.
The woman's oye was blackened yb the blow she re-
ceived. John Briant was struck iu a cowardly manner
while he was down. The police interfered, and the pri-
soners were captured.
Mr. Benson said that Henry Gorman had committed a
cowardly assault, and fined him 205., and in default twenty
days' imprisonment; and Fairbrass, 10s., or seven days'
imprisonment.

A ROYAL ROAD.

There is a good deal of grumbling in naval circles
)ust now because a young German prince, a relation
by marriage of the Princess Alice, has been appointed
a naval cadet, and sent out to the Ariadne at once,
without the fifteen months' training on board the
Britannia at Dartmouth, which every other lad who
"oins the navy must go through. It seems that there
is a royal road to learning, so far as naval know-
ledge is concerned.

3IR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
it Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

BISHOP JACKSON'S FAREWELL.

Bishop Jackson, who has been elected Bishop of
i.Jondon, took farewell of his old diocese, Lincoln,
on Friday. There was a celebration in the Cathedral,
which was attended by about 400 clergy and laity. The
Bishop preached from Acts xxi., 5. In his sermon he
spoke very highly of his successor, Dr. Wordsworth.
Referring to the two antagonistic schools of thought
—one which doubted the authenticity of some of the
books of the Bible and the historical accuracy of
others, and obj ected to the supernatural and the miracu-
ions as impossibilities ; the other demurring to the
advantages of the Reformation, and desiring a prm-
Reformation ritual—the Bishop said that both
schools included " able, good, and praying men."
After the service an address was presented to the
Bishop, expressing regret at his departure, and he
made a suitable reply, which is published in the
John Bull.

THE S. P. C. K.

" A Herefordshire Rector " writes to the Times
that the Ritualist party in the S. P. C. K., having
been defeated in their late attempt at granting
£2,000 for use in the diocese of Natal independent of
the bishop, are now endeavouring to alter the consti-
tution of the Standing Committee, so as to ensure
that grant being made hereafter. Six members
retire by rotation on February 2, but offer them-
selves for re-election. One is the Rev. M. W. Mayow,
a Ritualist, and the Rev. R. T. West proposes three
gentlemen of his own way of thinking, two of whom
are seconded by the Rev. C. Gutch, a former colleague
of Mr. West's at All Saints', Margaret-street.

THE TWO SERVICES.

There are many rumours of coming changes in the
two departments of the army and the navy, but the
journals which represent those interests are rather
shy about vouching for any of the reports. There
seems, however, to be little doubt that an important
change will be made in the coastguard department.
The separate establishment in Spring-gardens is to
be broken up, the chief offices abolished, a large
number of clerks dismissed, and henceforth the coast
guard ships will be placed under the command of the
various admirals at the different outports. The
new Director-General of the Medical Department of
the Admiralty will have to submit to a reduction of
£;300 a year. Still more important, it is believed that
the Admiralty will not fill up the appointment of
the Admiral of the Fleet, vacant by the death of Sir
Lucius Curtis. As already stated, the post of
Governor of Greenwich Hospital will not be filled
up, and it is contemplated transferring the infirm
pensioners to the hospital at Netley, and convert-
ing the hospital to military purposes. More
important still is the final determination,
already announced, to close both Deptford and
Woolwich Dockyards. The navigating cadets now
in course of instruction on board the St. George will
be absorbed by the Britannia, and a useless distinction
abolished. The Dady Telegraph announces that
there will be a reduction of £500,000 in the army
estimates on the cost of war materiel alone.
The Pall Mall Gazette says it has been positively
announced at Chatham that with the new financial
year the whole of the separate depots of those
regiments which have two battalions will be abolished,
an arrangement affecting twenty-five regiments.
Finally, it is believed that Government will
favour shorter terms of enlistment by keeping a
certain number of infantry battalions always at home
and a certain number localised in India.
We learn it has been decided at the War Office
that henceforth officers in the army wishing
to give up active service shall have the option of
selling their commissions to the department as an
alternative to going on half-pay.

METRO ?OLITAN CATTLE.

There was a larger amount of stock in the market
this morning, but accounts being better from the dead
market, and the weather fine, trade was more cheerful
and affoided better support to prices. At late rates,
and in some cases brought 2d per stone. Fur best quail-
ties of beef there was a good inquiry ; middling grades
were dull of sale, and generally rather drooping in price.
The mutton trade ruled very firm, especially in the better
qualities, and 2d more was very generally made.
LIVERPOOL COTTON.

A frightful accident occurred on Saturday after-
noon at the works now in progress at Chatham
Dockyard for the extension •of docks and basins at
that establishment, whereby one man was instan-
taneously killed and several others seriously injured.
The spot at which the acci lent occurred was near
the north-east corner of the middle basin, where
there is a deep cutting, spanned by a woolen bridge,
over which are conveyed the waggons laden with
the clay excavated from the site forming the basin,
the waggons being drawn by locomotives, several
of which are employed on the works. At the mo-
ment of the accident a heavily laden train was pass-
ing over the bridge, when the latter suddenly gave
way at the time three waggons were on it, one man,
named George Dixon, being instantaneously killed,
and three others severely injured. The latter were
promptly removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital
Rochester. The inquiry into the accident will be
414 0-491.

ItIVAI. SOCIETIES.

The Broad Arrow, usually a sensible paper, has
been seized with Jesuit-phobia. In a leading article
expressing congratulation at the initiation of the
Prince of Wales into the " craft," our contemporary
goes on to denounce the attacks which have recently
been made upon Masonry in various periodicals.
"It is undeniable that the writers for the
press who have been educated for that
calling by the Society of Jesus are among
the most talented and able of the fraternity,"
and that these are attempting to " sap " Masonry.
What nonsense all this mystery is. The T suits are
simply a religious body, which, like it._ .hersz is
desirous of making proselytes; only, instead of going
about it inthe bungling, awkward way that some of our
very well-meaning but very indiscreet missionaries
go, they adopt the Pauline principle of being all things
to all men, in order to win some. To the
ignorant, whose imagination is easily touched,
they send men capable of exciting that
imagination ; for men of intellect and logical acute-
ness they provide similar men. The instrument is
carefully selected for his work—that is the whole
mystery and history of Jesuitism. -We might study
it with advantage : if we had studied it we should
scarcely have sent out a student bishop to the
unlettered Zulus, nor a Rikialist bishop to the all but
Republican colonists of New Zealand.

FATTIER IGNATIUS ON DISSENTERS.

Father Ignatius on monasticism was alarming.
Father Ignatius rebuking the sins of the City men
was edifying. Father Ignatius on Christian unity is
comforting. In his latter capacity we find that, after
all that has been said, the Rev. F. Lyne has not given
up the " traditions of his father ; " for, though he
" practises" ritualism, and was thought to be of all
"high " men one of the highest, he now comes forth
with preaching which the " broadest " would hardly
cavil at. The keynote of a lecture on Dissenters,
given a day or two back, was that everyone was
Christian who believed in the divinity of Our Lord.
All beyond that was matter of opinion ; on that doe-
time High Church, Low Church, Wesleyans, Bap-
tists, Congregationalists could meet.

TUE TICIMORNE BARONETCY.
It was recently announced that the claim made by
a returned Australian colonist to the Tichborne
baronet had collapsed, that the claimant had tacitly
acknowledged an attempt to swindle by going abroad,
and that the real baronet was prepared to prosecute
him as soon as he returned. The Star now contra-
dicts this report, repeats that the " claim will shortly
be investigated by a court of law," and declares that
the gentleman in question " has gone abroad on the
advice of his counsel, solely for the purpose of
collecting additional evidence in support of his
case."

TIM WOMEN'S CLUB.

Another retirement from the proposed Women's
Club is announced. The lion. Auberon Herbert,
M.P., has withdrawn because he does riot care to take
the responsibility of •the proposed innovation—the
admission of male visitors, against which the
Countess of Portsmouth was the first to protest.

FIRE-ESCAPES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.
We recently noticed a case in which a lady lost
her life through the breaking down of a fire-escape.
The inquiry which was generally demanded has
taken place before the coroner's jury. The evidence
given shewed that the first story was not altogether
correct. The escape was not found to be broken as
stated, ichen an attempt was made to raise the
fly ladder. It was broken in that attempt.
The crowd around acted as firemen got hold
of the ropes, and the immense jerk which was given
to them broke the machinery. Now, doubtless, per-
sons in a crowd may often on such occasions be
useful, but they should be under command, and any
indiscriminate zeal should as much as possible be
checked. Especially should the management of such
a machine as the lire-escape be superintended
by experience. More haste may probably be made
by one man pulling the cords while the fireman is
adjusting the ladder, but, as in this case, the haste
may be useless. While half a minute was hardly
likely to have caused the death of this unfortunate
lady, the means taken to save it caused her death.
The jury in their verdict expressed the opinion that
there had been mismanagement in bringing the escape
into action.

nITUALIS3I.

The John Mill reveals the fact that serious dis-
agreement has taken place among the Ritual Com-
missioners. Earl Stanhope made a motion to the
effect that the reading of the Athanasian Creed
should be rendered optional—a remarkable proposal
from so Conservative a nobleman. The resolution
was defeated after a very small majority, and not
until one of the commissioners had threatened to
resign if any attempt were made to touch the Creeds.
Mr. Venn is about to propose a series of changes
which will tend to explain away those por-
tions of the Prayer-book which the Low Church
party dislike. The new Primate is said to be
unfavourable to any alterations of the Prayer-
book.

The Record asserts that the statement of the
Church Times to the effect that the Church Associa-
tion had resolved to surrender its right to recover its
costs from Mr. Mackonochie is " preposterous."
The statement that the vestments question will be
tried at once is also incorrect. "We (Record) have
authority to state that nothing is yet settled."
Mr. Mackonochie writes to the Daily
.Telegraph a
short letter, asserting that he never intended to
refer to Dr. Rowland Williams in his letter to the
daily papers which appeared on the 10th, as Dr.
Williams supposes in his letter to the Daily Telegraph
of the 22nd.

Archdeacon Denison has written a final reply to
Mr. Lowder. He points out, in reply to the charge
of inconsistency for not wearing the eucharistic vest-
ments, that Mr. .Lowder confounds between the de-
cree of the judgment and the reasons of that decree.
The decree rules absolutely, the reasons by implica-
tion only, as is carefully distinguished in the memo-
rial. In all particulars exicept the two specified in the
decree, a decree is wanting to make law. The Arch-
deacon adds that his action has been paralysed by
Mr. Lowder and his friends, and he deeply grieves
he can no longer act with them in the matter. Thus
the schism in the Ritualist party is complete.

ROMANISM IN SCOTLAND.

Is Romanism increasing in Presbyterian Scotland ?
A few days ago we mentioned the secession of Mr.
Robertson, formerly an elder of the Established Kirk
at Dundee. Previously to this the Marquis of Bute
had seceded. Now we learn that " the Catholics at
Alloa, Clackmannanshire, have purchased a hand-
some cruciform church from the Anglicans for £600."
Anglicanism must have been in a bad way to let a
"handsome cruciform church" go for such a sum as
that.

THE " NATIONAL " CANDIDATE FOIL LONGFORD.

Mr. T. D. Sullivan has received a letter from Mr.
Martin, which must be considered as disposing of the
rumours to the effect that the latter individual will
not accept the " national " candidature for Longford.
County. Mr. Martin, who is now in America, ex-
presses his pleasure at being put forward for Long-
-ford: It-is the correct tiling, he intimates, to return
candidates like himself. Such a policy is calculated
to lead to Repeal, and to a peaceful settlement of the
national question. This is Mr. Martin's object.
Though upholding the most advanced Irish views,
ho does not sanction the employment of force. He is
of pacific intentions, but is sufficiently "thorough"
to command the support of the Fenian as well as the
National party. The two hold idqutical views, but
differ as to the means which ought to be employed.

THE NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.

The Telegraph publishes a list of the new 011ivier
Ministry, and a very remarkable list it is. M. 011ivier
himself takes the Interior; M. de •La Gue'ronniere,
the Foreign Office ; M. Magne, Finance ; General
Leboeuf, War ; Admiral Rigault de Genouilly will
• adininister the N-avy; M. Bourgeau takes the Instruc-
tion portfolio ; M. Dupuy de Lome will be Minister of
Public Works ; and M. Parieu will be Minister with-
out portfolio. This extraordinary combination does
not contain one leader of the Moderate Liberals,
either of the. Right or Left Centre, with whom M.
011ivier has been associated. 31. de La Gu6ronniere has
for some time past served in. the capacity of Ambas-
sador at the Belgian Court, and is in all respects
devoted to the old Imperial policy; whilst the next
three--MM. Magner Lebceuf, and Genouilly—
held precisely . the same posts in the
Cabinet which is just defunct. Neither MM.
Buffet, de Talhouß, or Dart, of the Left Centre, nor
Segris of the Right Centre, has accepted a place in
the new Cabinet. In short, all M. Miller's old
associates have withheld their aid from him in his
new experiment. The symptom cannot be called
promising.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Business to-day on the Stock Exchange is not 83
active, but prices did not give way in the least de-
gree. Consols, however, maintained their closing
prices; and in the transactions that took place a
firmness was exhibited that give indication of a
successful commencement of the new year.

Consols are now at 921 to 921 for money ;
ditto, for Account, 921 ; Three per Cent. Re-

The solid character of the subscriptions for the
new Turkish Loan is denoted by the fact that, not-
withstanding the tightness of the money market
incidental to the turn of the year, about one-fourth
of the amount allotted to this country has already
been paid in full. These payments can be made
on two days in every week. In France payments
in full can be made any day, and it is expected that
the instalments on the portion of the loan allotted,
in that country will be met in advance to even, a
larger extent than here.
About 20,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank for North America. _ _

To-day Mr. W. Carter, Coroner for East Surrey,
resumed the inquiry at the Hop-pole Tavern, Ewell,
respecting the death of Thomas lluggett, aged 31,
which occurred in connection with the explosion that
took place on the morning of Wednesday last, at a
house belonging
.to Mr. G. Stone. The facts have
been already fully reported. It was stated this
morning that Spooner, the tenant of the house,
who was seriously injured by the explosion, is not
expected to live.
The Evidence having been concluded, the jury,
after some deliberation, returned a verdict, " That
Thomas Iluggett committed suicide while in a state
of unsound mind."

TILUIES.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST A
Charles Sweeney, aged 35 years, the steward of
of the ship Chilwell Castle, was brought. before
Mr. Paget, charged with stealing five towels and
two bottles of brandy. A dock-constat,le, named
Stocks, stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the
East India Dock, yesterday tiftanoon, and on
opening his chts', discovere 1 five towels and two
bottles of brandy. The pri4outr admitted taking
the things from the ship.
Mr. Pelham, solicitor for the defence, made au
ingenious defence, and said that packing up his
own things, in a large chest, the two bottles of
brandy got intermixed.
Mr. Paget would not admit the defence, and
said as the chief mate of the ship had identified
the towels and brandy he should commit the pri-
soner for t►ial.

Mr. Pelham said he wou'd plead guilty for his
client, who had been steward of a ship for many
years, and had hitherto maintained a good charac-
ter as a diligent steward and a respectable, honest,
sober man.

Mr. Paget said he had no power to deal with
the case summarily.
Mr. Pelham combated this view, and said the
Criminal Justice Act did not except robberies in
docks from the summary jurisdiction of the magis-
trate.

Mr. Paget entertained a different opinion, and
said the case must go before a jury.
STEALING A BOTTLE OF GlN.—Michael Hag-
gerty, a labourer, who had been employed on board
the ship Medusa in the East India Dock, was
charged with stealing a bottle of gin, which was
found in his pocket yesterday afternoon by a dock
constable, named William Wells, to whom the pri-
soner said he found it in a pile of kentledge. This
case was introduced to the magistrate, as one of
unlawful possession, and Mr. Paget sentenced the
prisoner to two mouths' imprisonment and hard
labour.
London, England, 1869-12-31

MR. GLADSTOIVE ON DISARMAMENT.

In answer to a proposition for general disarmament
made by the Peace Society to the Premier, the right hon.
gentleman has returned the following answer through his
secretary --" I am directed to request that you will return
Mr. Gladstone's thanks to the committee, and assure them
that their views in favour of peaceful relations and
arrangements will at all times command the respectful
consideration of her Majesty's Ministers."
London, England, 1869-12-31

TILE END-OF TILE CONTROVERSY.

The enthronement of Dr. Temple closes the con-
roversy. Bishop Trower, in7a letter to the Standard,
states very plainly that he.has no wish to continue
the opposition which he has been leading. • Ile does
not question the efficacy of Dr. Temple's .consecra.•
tlon ; he will not think of contending against the
validity of the orders conferred by the Bishop.
But he still considered, when he wrote the letter,
that the appointment was " the greatest
scandal the Church of God in- this country has
had to undergo.". Bishop'Trower had not then read
the Bishop of Exeter's sermon. That declaration of
belief •in revelation will probably CW3 the minds of
the most disturbed of Bishop Temple's opponents.
True, he still held that cotheience was a revelation of
Clod to man, and he frankly admitted that in the Old
Tesament thi,re ware examples. which were not
altogether flisflike.. But 'be contemled earnestly for
theN'Vrittsif Vs .Ile west muali farther in his
dselaration of its spiritual authority than many of his
supporters would have expected. For ho very fers
vently laid down thla "so far as in any wav the
necessities of the-spiritual life require that the'Bible
should be true even to the letter, so far all may expect
to find it true." --It did not (he said) teach ssience—
as.ronomy, • geology, - and. all human knowledge.
It was not a %natural revelation at all.
It was a pure and perfect spiritual unveiling of God
to man.• • It may also be remarked that in his decla-
ration of faith in Christ ha spoke of him. as " the
Lord-GO, the Son of 0; Christ Jesus," a phrase
which no Arian or Socinian—and such his lordship
has been called—could possibly use.
