THE COMING CHANGE.

The Irish Methodists are giving considerable atten
tion to the subject of the uses to which the surplus of
Irish Church property may be put, with a particular view
to the protection of their educational interests.
The Irish Evangelist, their organ, has pointed
out that the National Board is tending towards the " deno.
minational" character, and added that the Roman Catholic
episcopacy are endeavouring to bring its machinery
" more completely under prevailing denominational influ-
ences, in the hope that a considerable portion of the na-
tional property withdrawn horn the Establishment will be
devoted to national education, and that they will get the
lion's share." The subject is taken up by the Methodist
Recorder, whose comments are copied in Irish papers. The
journal computes the " surplus" at £300,000, and having de-
clared hostility to any secularisation of the fund, favours
its appropriation to national education. The Irish Wesleyan
Conference in 1867 declared the existing system of united
education to be "eminently suited to the condition of the
country," and the Methodists would with reluctance abandon
the present plan; but if it is becoming "denominational"
they would prefer "a new plan altogether, which should
place secular instruction under the care of the State, leaving
the religious bodies to provide from their own resources for
the instruction of their own children."

LAW AND POLICE

- -4.-

THE EPSOM GRAND STAND.—At the Surrey Sessions on
Saturday an appeal was made by the Epsom Grand Stand
Association against the assessment to the poor rate. In
:846 the stand was rated at .2150, but since then the assess-
ment has been repeatedly raised, until in September last
it was raised to £5,400 gross rental, and £4,500 rateable
value. It was contended that the assessment was £2,000
in excess. The case was adjourned to the Easter Sessions.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A CONSTABLE.-At Rochester,
cn Saturday, a pilot named Wm. Kingsworth was charged
with stabbing a police constable. The prosecutor, who was
dangerously wounded, found Kingsworth making a dis.
turbance in Eastgate, when he told him to go away.
The prisoner walked along the street, the constable
being by his side, when suddenly he turned and stabbed
him with a large knife in two places. Kingsworth has
always borne a good character, and was litely rewarded
by the Admiralty for his energy in assisting the great
floating dock Bermuda when dragging her anchors in a
gale. The Mayor committed him for trial, refusing hail,
as the constable, whose life was at first despaired of, is not
vet out of danger.

A HARD CASE.—A few days ago two men of respect.
able appearance were given into custody for having
knowingly uttered a counterfeit halfcrown over a public-
house bar in Westminster. The coin was sent to the
Mint to be tested, and found to be genuine. The men,
after having spent two days in the House of Detention,
were liberated on Saturday, and on applying to a magis-
trate for compensation were told that he had no power
to grant it.

POLICE PROSECIITIONS.—On Saturday the conductor of
the "Judge and Jury" establishment in Leicester-square
was summoned at Marlborough-street for having kept a
disorderly house. The defendant pleaded that his enter-
tainment had been carried on fur twenty years without
complaint. He was fined 40F.
A RAID AMONG THE SILVEHSMIIHS. —Mr. Greig, in-
spector of weights and measures for the Brentford district,
instituted a prosecution against several siversmiths for
using troy weights not being stamped or marl ed in
accordance with the standard of her Majesty's
Exchequer. The defendants questioned the iigLt
of the inspectors of weights to visit their peculiar
description of shops; but the Brentford magistrates said
they were clearly of opinion that they came within the
Act. Mr. Honeybone, who acted as the spokesman of all
the defendants, then objected to the jurisdiction of the
magistrates, under the Bullion Act, and contended that
if troy weight were intended to be meant in the sth and
6th Nm. IV., c. 63, it was confined in its application to
bullion and not to manufactured articles, such as those
sold in jewellers' shops. The bench, however, ruled that
as silversmiths sometimes bought and sold gold not so
made up, the Act applied, and the defendants were each
fined 205., a case, however, being gra;ted on the objection
raised by Mr. Honeybone.

AUSTRIA.

An octogenarian, living in the neighbourhood of Path,
bas just died, leaving some £300,000 to a notary.
To the possession of this desirable fortune is attached
an extracrdinary condition : the legatee shall receive
the money when lie has sung, either at La Scala,
in Milan, or the San Carlo, in Naples, the part
of Otello, in the opera of that name, and that of
Elvin° in the " Sonnambula." The deceased once heard
the notary sing, and was opinion that he would make an
excellent artist. The forkmate lawyer is working night
and day to "get up" in the two operas. He will doubt-
less be hissed, but what does that matter ?

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The Alabama difficulty has not yet been brought before
the Senate, and the present state of the question is some-
what mysterious. The New York Tribune says that
Senator Sumner, the chairman of the Senate Committee,
has never been able to ascertain the exact status of the
negotiations. As the matter must be brought before this
committee, the present aspect of affairs is not particularly
cheering. The Tribune adds : "It is believed in dip7o-
matic circles that the changes in the protocol for the settle-
ment of the Alabama claims, which were suggested by
Secretary Seward in despatches by a late steamer to Minister
Johnson, have been accepted by the English Ministry,
and that the treaty is in such a shape that its speedy rati-
fication by the United States Senate may be looked for as
a matter of course." This, however, is by no meansa cer-
tainty. Moreover, what is the nature of the changes
alluded to? It was recently announced that there was a
hitch in the negotiations, but this was caused by a demand
from Mr. Seward for a complete alteration of the treaty
draft. The American Minister required that the reference
to the King of Prussia should be abandoned, and that the
whole question be settled by the Anglo-American Com-
mission sitting at Washington. Surely these are not the
changes whic'h have been acceded to.

LORD DF.RIFY'S LAST JOKE.

It is reported of Lord Derby that on hearing the
conundrum propounded, " Why is a bald head like
Paradise ?"—the well-known answer to which is,
" Because it is a bright and shining place, where
there is no parting nor dyeing "—his lordship added,
" And, thank Jove, no more Whigs !" This is not a
bad pendant to Mr. Disraeli's riddle, "Why is Mr.
Gladstone like a telescope ?"—" Because you can
draw him out, see through him, and shut him up ;" or
to Archbishop's Manning's, who, on hearing some-
body sneer at " the right hon. member for Green-
wich," said, " Why should we not do as we have
always done, take the time of day from Greenwich ?"

EOME.

A private letter states that Rome has been very full of
visitors during the Christmas season. In 1866 people were
kept away by the cholera, and in 1867 by the Garibaldians,
and so this year they are making up for lost time. The
weather has been very *wet and mild, and the flowers sold
in the streets are a sight to behold—immense bunches of
camellias, roses, bluebells, and violets being sold for a
franc. Round the grave of Gibson, the sculptor, there are
roses in profusion. The number of handsome carriages
which promenade on the Pincian Hill is very large, and
hundreds of English may be jkThien driving there in
vehicles worthy of Hyde Park. 'e "Te Dcum" which
was sung at the Jesuits' Church on the 31st, in thanksgiving
for the mercies of the past year, was beautifully given,
and the Pope, with his bodyguard, attended in State.
The service at St. John Lateran, on St. Jan's Day, was
also very fine. The English society at Rome is particu-
larly sociable and agreeable. People do not go to Rome
to dress, as they do at Nice, or to get well, as they do at
Menton, but with the serious intention of studying the
most interesting city in the world, with all its wealth of
ancient and modern art.

ITALY.

The Florence correspondent of the Daily News, though
deeming it a matter of course that the King of
Italy is not averse to the prospect of the throne of
Spain falling to the House of Savoy, says that
General Menabrea and his Cabinet do not share the
wishes and hopes of the Royal Family. The Nazione, in a
very outspoken article, believed to be of Ministerial origin,
writes against the candidature of an Italian prince. It
must be admitted, however, that the arguments brought
forward are not very substantial, though, as the Daily
News correspondent remarks, the sentiment is unmistak-
able. The pleas against the candidature are derived
chiefly from the dangers which must wait upon the sove-
reign of Spain, and the loss which Italy would sustain by
his departure. It is doubtful how far these considerations
would weigti against the desire to strengthen Italy by the
alliance of an extensive country, which might become very
powerful under good government.

whether we could do without the aid of lawyers in
I deciding this knotty point ?" Mr. Jebb considers Dr.
Pusey's letter a most unhappy one ; admits that we
want a better Court of Final Appeal ; denies that
any doctrine, or anything more than the right to
use symbolism, was involved in the judgment ; and
strongly deprecates the idea of disunion or secession
resulting from the iudsment.

THE LATTERNAIIONAL YACHT EACE.

The New York Herald, a good authority on yacht-
ing matters, c.insideting the younger Bennett's in-
terest in it, has fully reviewed American and British
yachts in connection with Mr. Ashbury's challenge,
the owner of the Cambria. The Herald denies
that the America was the fastest yacht which ever
left American waters, asserting, on the contrary,
that swifter and more capable craft are now owned
by Americans. Allowing that vast improvements
have recently taken place in England in the con-
struction of yachts, the American yachts have at
least reached an equal state of perfection. It is
denied that the Sappho is a fair criterion, for while
her capability as a good sea boat is acknowledged,
there are other American yachts superior to her.
She ought not to have competed, but having
done so she deserved her defeat, which is in
no way regretted in the States. Emboldened
by this doubtful triumph, Englishmen, freed
from the nervousness which followed their extraor-
dinary defeat by the America in 1851 have sent
this challenge, which the writer considers frank
and fair, and thinks must be accepted by the New
York Yacht Club. The experience even of the past
season proves that American yachts can hold their
own against those of any other nation. " Besides,
such an event as an international yacht race will
give additional energy to all our yachtsmen, will
increase that spirit of rivalry productive of all good
and beneficial results, and will raise the standard
of yachting to a pitch not yet arrived at. We can
afford to yield patiently to a defeat, but we may
rest assured that the American schooner, which-
ever it may be, will be selected with care and judg-
ment, and that her performance will afford just
cause for satisfaction. If vanquished, we can sail
again and again, until the time when fearlessness,
skill, and gallantry—the proven characteristics of
American yachtsmen—must bear with them their
own reward before the world."

Clarendon, if report be true. It is said that there is
just now a gathering of Fenians in Paris. Mr. John
Savage is there, the man whom Mr. Seward lately
appointed consul at Leeds, and Mr. Stephen Meany.
The latter worthy has fortified himself with docu-
ments to prove that he was a naturalised American
at the time that he was apprehended here. He is
plaguing Mr. Reverdy Johnson to take up his case,
but the American Minister seems to have doubts
about the authenticity of Mr. Meany's papers.

CRIMINAL COUR7—(This day).

The January session of the Central Criminal
Court was opened at the Old Bailey this morning.
Joseph Matthew Morris was called upon to sur-
render to take his trial for endeavouring to obtain
a large sum of money from a gas company, by
making a false and fraudulent claim for pro-
perty which he alleged to have been destaoyed in
the fire had occurred at Saville House, Leicester-
square, some time since. The defendant did not
appear, and the court therefore made an order that
his recognisances should be estreated.
Mr. Adolphe Ellison, a wine merchant, carrying
on business in the City, was called upon to sur-
render to take his trial for publishing a false and
defamatory libel.
Sergeant Parry, who was instructed specially to
conduct the prosecution, asked for a postponement
of the trial. The defendant had pleaded a special
plea, justifying the libel, and asserting that it
was true, and that it was published for the public
good.
The Recorder, having looked at the plea, thought
the trial ought to be postponed.

an extracrdinary condition : the legatee shall receive
the . money when he has sung, either at La Scala,
in Milan, or the San Carlo, in Naples, the part
of Otello, in the opera of that name, and that of
Elrino in the " Sonnambula." The deceased once heard
the notary sing, and was opinion that he would make an
excellent artist. The fortunate lawyer is working night
