THE APPOINTMENT OF CORONERS.

Mr. Goldney's bill for vesting the appointment of
coroners in the Lord Chancellor has failed. The
alterations made to it in committee turned the bill
entirely from its original object. But some reform
is yet made in the law. The bill as amended pro-
vides that where the election is by law in the free-
holders of the county, it shall be by such freeholders
only as are on the parliamentary register and
reside within the county. A new clause is added,
providing that a coroner dissatisfied with the schedule
of fees settled by the justices may apply to the Home
Secretary, who is authorised and empowered to revise
it in such a manner as he shall deem fit.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
We find in the Diplomatic Review an extract
from the Nova Scotian, which shows that paper to
have m'sunderstood us on an important subject,
the absorption of Canada into the Union :
" The Anglo-American Times, stepping in a footpath,
prepared by many writers, before him, and encouraged by
not a few statesman and legislators, and among them an in-
fluential member of the present British Cabinet, has lately
(March 13) endorsed an opinion with regard to. the .ad-
justment of ' an unsettled question,' which the New York
Tribune had offered for English, American, and Canadian
consideration. The substance of that opinion is that the
' voluntary cession of the British rule in North America
(with the consent of the colonists) where it has ceased to
be advantageous to England, or beneficial to its matured
colonies, would be an imperial gift, which England might
with dignity tender, and America gracefully accept,. in full
satisfaction of the English indebtedness."—Nonce Scotian,
April 26, 1869."
Oar American contemporary would not have fallen
intuthe error of supposing that we had endorsed the
opinion of the-New York Tribune had it derived its
information direct from the Anglo-American Tines.
On the contrary, we separated the settlement of all
disputes .between the Republic and the Monarchy
from the action of the latter on the Canadian
matter, as in no way connected. Nor that only ;
for we condemned the Tribune's manner of in-
termingling them 'as a blunder calculated to defeat
a desirable objeet ; and
.the Tri4ne has by
this time -revered ample• evidence 'that our Tim

TLI:CTION NEWS.

The preliminary ballot at Stafford has resulted in
the election of Mr. Whitworth and Mr. Evans. The
first formerly represented Drogheda, the second was
defeated in South Derbyshire at the general election.
Mr. Odger and Mr. Jenkins have asked their sup-
porters to giv9 their votes to the above-named gen-
tlemen. The Conservative candidates are Mr. Talbot
and Captain Salt. The polling takes place on
Tuesday.

The Fermanagh Reporter states that, in consequence
of failing health, the Right lion. Henry Corry is
about to retire from the representation of the county
of Tyrone, and that it is expected his son will
be M.P. in his stead. Mr. Corry is, we believe, the
oldest member of the House. He has sat for Tyrone
uninterruptedly since 1820, when he was. 23 years
old. Ile is the second son of the Earl of Belmore,
has been a Lord of the Admiralty, Secretary of the
Admiralty, and First Lord successively. He is one
of the most poputir members of the House, and will
be much regretted.
Nottingham politics are always past understanding.
As our readers are aware, a seat has become
vacant by the death of Sir R. Clifton; and it is now
stated that the other member, Colonel Wright, is
going to retire, and that thus this excitable borough
will be plunged into all the turmoil of a fresh elec-
tion. In that case it is likely that the two hostile
Liberal sections will unite, and return Mr. B. Osborne
and Mr. Seely, who was rejected last autumn.
Should they not unite, the Conservatives will pro-
bably retain one seat. The probability of a Liberal
reunion would, in an ordinary constituency, prevent
a Conservative M.P. from retiring. But then at
Nottingham nothing is so certainty happen as what
is sure not to happen.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

The press, as a rule, shuns the discussion of the
Sunday question, raised by Mr. Gregory on Friday
night, preferring rather to demand that a public
opinion should be formed upon it than to lead that
opinion in any way. They declare that while a large
clam are religiously and enthusiastically opposed to
the opening
of museums on the Sunday, those who
desire them to be accessible on that day are very
apathetic about the matter. Something of the same
feeling evidently moved M.P.'s on Friday night.
They knew that they would, by counselling the pro-
posed change, offend a large portion of their con-
stituents; and by the other portion a vote in favour
of Mr. Gregory would hardly be counted unto them
for righteousness, and so they cheered when Mr.
Hadfield divided, and prevented Mr. Gregory
from pressing his motion. 13y the news-
papers, however, two general principles seem
to be generally accepted. First, that the religious
question must be kept out of sight, and the pro-
posal discussed as one of moral expediency ; secondly,
that if the change is to take place, it may and must
be limited. As heretofore, no exhibition should be
allowed to be opened for which money is taken.
The parks, not the Crystal Palace; the museums,
not the Polytechnic ; the National Galleries, which
are free, not private collections of paintings, which
require a money fee for admission ; the concerts of
the Recreative Religionists, not the theatres, are
those to whom the privilege of opening on Sunday
should be allowed.

AN INDIAN FATHER.

The news that three Bengalees had been successful in the
Indian Civil Ferviee competitive examinations is said to
have given great satisfaction to the native community. Two
of them, it seems, had some difficulty in getting away from
India. "One of them (the Indian Daily News says) was,
in the language of Indian officials, 'granted four years'
leave of, absence to England' by his wife and two or
three of his relatives, the only persons who knew of
his intention ; the other was obliged to steal away as
quietly as he could ; the third was freer to act,
and the passages in the Peninsular and Oriental
steamer were taken in the name of the latter and two
friends.' The runaway's father pursued him down the river;
there was a scene on board the vessel, but the young man
was obdurate, and the only promise the parent could exact
from him was that he would not marry in England. It is
quite an event among the natives, but it is not so much the
fact of these men having passed, as the excellent effect it
will have, that is most gra'ifying to others." The di,ap-
pointment that will be felt when it is known that they have
been pronounced disqualified by age will therefore, it may
be presumed, be very great.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

A meeting of the Anthropological Society was held
a few evenings since, when the subject of discussion
was " The Mental Distinctions between Men and
Women." Papers were read by Mr. Harris, F.S.A.,
and Mr. Al ‘Grigor Allan, F.A.S.L , whose
views A's ere somewhat different. Mr. llarris
was more inclined to favour feminine claims;
and though he considered: that -great natural
differences existed between men and women, he
thought it did not follow that the question was one
of actual mental or moral superiority on either side.
Mr. Allan was only willing to allow women pre-
eminence in the dramatic profession, since all women,
he thought, were by nature actresses. Thousands of
years had simply demonstrated the mental supremacy
of man, and we must- not ignore the lessons of ex-
'perience. -

MORE MISERABLE BONDIIOLDERS.

As previously announced, the Government of the
Ecuador Republic has finally resolved to give up the
virtue of honesty as obsolete and inconvenient in
State transactions. That remote State has long been
unable or unwilling to meet its obligations. The
full interest of the Republican debt has not
been paid for many years past, but the
Government of Ecuador a long time ago
hypothecated certain Customs' duties in part
payment. This small attempt to keep up
appearances has now been abandoned, with the
remarkably neat comment that " inability to comply
with the conditions of a contract cancels the obliga-
tion to fulfil it." The holders of the Ecuador Bonds
have met, and declared that this proceeding "is at
variance with the principles which regulate the trans-
actions of civilised nations, is dishonourable and
disastrous to any State, and cannot fail to meet with
universal reprobation." -Unfortunately this prospect
of " universal reprobation " is not likely to bring
about repentance,

WORK AND WAGES.

The wages dispute at Oldham has assumed a new
character. While the general body of minders expressed
their willingness to abide by the terms of the court
of arbitration, the piecers were demonstrative against
the proposed reduction that was about to be im-
posed upon them. Thursday evening being " making-
up" day at several of the factories, a number of
piecers left their work, and consequently stopped the
minders. Upon finding this state of matters, a conference
of minders and piccers was held at noon on Friday to
devise some arrangement, but the piecers were deaf to all
reasoning on the part of the minders, and declared that
they would persist in the action they had taken. Failing
to come to any terms, the minders held a meeting among
themselves to consider what course they should pursue
under the circumstances, and it was unanimously agreed
that they should attend at their respective mills and be
prepared for work in the event of piecers being at hand.
It is reported that some of the employers intend bringing
the turn-outs before the magistrates for leaving work
without notice.

Messrs. Barnes (late M.P. for Bolton) and Co., cotton
spinners, Farnworth, have posted a notice in their mills of
their intention to reduce the wages of their hands at the
rate of 5 per cent. They add that the intended reduction
is rendered absolutely necessary in consequence of the
depressed state of trade, and that they only resort to this
step with deep regret. It is anticipated that other firms
in the neighbourhood will adopt a similar policy.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETII, 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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

" A Peer," writing to the Post, wants to have
certain points settled with regard to the Life
Peerages Bill. lie wants to know what title the
wife will take, what rank the sons, the
daughters, the widow of a life peer will
claim—questions, he says, which are deeply agitated
among the young ladies. The Pall Mall Gazette
raises a much more important question in connection
with the bill. it points out that a barrister who
disgraces himself can be disbarred, an attorney is
kept in order by the Law Society, medical men
have their own tribunal, and the clergy of every
denomination are kept in order by ecclesiastical
superiors. The. House of Commons- possesses the
power of expulsion, and the bankruptcy of a mem-
ber vacates, or at least suspends, his seat. The House
of Lords alone has no power to mark its sense of
conduct which may put an indelible stain on the
character of the most ancient houses represented in
it. This the Pall Mall Gazette declares to be a
significant fact, and one specially significant at the
present day, when so many circumstances are warning
the Lords to put their House in order. Could nothing
be done in this direction ?

CHURCH CONGRESSES.

Archdeacon Denison complains in the John Bull
that Church Congresses are becoming a sham,
because they always exclude 'from discussion the
matters most needing it. Thus, the programme of
the intended Liverpool meeting contains not a word
about Establishments, episcopal destitution, diocesan
synods, or the discipline of the clergy. Supposing
these subjects were included, and that there were
many Archdeacon Denisons,we wonder how long the

the style of carriage which has so long been wanting in this
country, as thousands of horses get bent over with their fore-
legs and knuckled over behind, and sore shoulders, through
having a carriage 3 cwt. too heavy. Persons wanting a carria.2e
have only to describe the size of the horse. and one will he made
suitable : the horse will go with ease and the riders with com-
fort, as he has introduced a spring only one inch wide, made of
patent steel, not half the weight of the ordinary springs. A visit
is solicited. Testimonials to be seen. See opinions of the Press

CONSULAR COURTS IN EGYPT•

The Berlin correspondent of the Incßpendanee Bdge
says that the Porte is offended at the conduct of the Vice-
roy of Egypt in negotiating with European Powers for the
abolition of the capitulations. These capitulations cause
the Egyptian Government infinite annoyance in
the shape of the independent jurisdiction of the Con-
sular Courts. The Turkish Government is quite as desirous
of their abolition as is the Viceroy, but as the capitula-
tions were established by treaties concluded by the Porte
as sovereign power, so their repeal ought to be negotiated
in the same way. These representations have been taken
into consideration by the various Powers ; but they do
not, says the Independance, appear disposed to repeal the
capitulations.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

{`A Peer," writing to the Post, wants to have
certain points settled with regard to the Life
Peerages - Bill. He wants to know what title the
wife will take, what rank ' the sons, the
daughters, the widow of a life. - peer will
claim—questions, he says, which are deeply agitated
among the young ladies. The Pall Mall Gazette
raises a much more important question in connection
with the bill. It points out that a barrister who
disgraces himself can be disbarred, an attorney is
kept in order by the Law Society, medical men
have their own tribunal, and the clergy Of every
denomination are kept in order by ecclesiastical
superiors. The House of Commons possesses the
power of expulsion, and the bankruptcy of a mem7
ber vacates, or at least suspends, his seat. The House
of Lords alone has no power toelrk its sense of
conduct which may put an inerti Je stain on the
ch:iracter of the most ancient hotisei represented in
it. - This the Pall Mall Gazette declares to be a
significant fact, and one specialVsignificant at the
present day, when so many dircninwtances are warning
the Lords to put their House in order. Could nothing
be done in this direction ? ,Thr

TILE UNITED STATES AND THE FRENCH ATLANTIC

CABLE.

Attention was recently called to a 'monopoly
granted by the French Emperor to an Atlantic Cable
Company for their line from France to the United.
States.' It was pointed out that such a grant was
hardly justifiable, and not within the competence of
Napoleon, inaamuch as it would prevent United
States :citizens. from laying an'. opposition cable,
and place an indefinite amount of power in the
hands of the French Government. The
Attorney-General of the United States having
had his attention called to the subject, is said
to- have given as . his opinion that the cable of the
French 'Telegraphic-Company cannot be :connected
with the:territory of the United States without the
parinisSion of Congress. It is to be hoped that no
" difficulty will arise about the matter between the
two nations.

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1869.

A momentous decision was arrived at on Satur-
day afternoon by the Conservative majority of the
House of Lords in regard to the Irish Church Bill,
and the policy in that House of her MAJESTY'S Oppo-
sition. The determination of their lordships, as the
whole country knows by this time, is to throw out
the Bill on the second reading. It was a determina-
tion not come to impetuously, upon the spur of the
moment, in a flame of passion, but as the result of
the maturest deliberation. The significance and the
importance of this decision is that it brings the Lords
and Commons into direct antagonism. Remember-
ing, indeed, that it was distinctly upon the Irish
Church Question that the late Conservative Admi-
nistration went to the country, and remembering also
that the enormous majority by which the Suspensory
Bill was carried in the last House of Commons,
has been nearly doubled in the present House of
Commons, as the answer, through the late General
Election, of the enlarged constituencies, it may even
be asserted more emphatieally that the resolution ar-
rived. at by the Conservative Peers on Saturday
brings into direct opposition to each other, not
merely the Lords and Commons, but the Lords and
the People. Again, therefore, it must be said, the
decision of the Lords, is, indeed, momentous. It is
likely to be all the more momentous, because of the
impulsive temperament of the First Minister of the
Crown, backed as ho is at this juncture, aided
and abetted as he has been increasingly ever since
the last House of Commons was dissolved by an
overwhelming majority of supporters avowedly bent
at every turn upon obeying his behests to the very
letter. As 'we have just now remarked, the majority
enabling him to pass the Irish Church Bid through
the present House of Commons, is, as nearly as pos-
sib!e, double the very large majority by which, in the
old House, the Suspensory Bill was ca.lied. Sup-
posing, what it is of coaro needless to suppose,

OPIUM GROWING IN CHINA.

A very important piece of intelligence comes from China
by the Indian mail. The Emperor of China has by pro-
clamation forbidden the cultivation of the poppy through.
out his dominions. The prohibition is to be most
rigidly enforced. Acting upon the intelligence, which is
aquestionable, the Government of India has called upon
that of Bengal to promptly consider the advisability of
considerably enlarging the area of opium cultivation in

before he departed from Peshawar Shere Ali sent a tele-

gratifying manner in which be had been received in India
by her Majesty's Indian Government and officers of every
grade. Her Majesty's reply was very prompt, and reached the
Ameer in the Khyber Pass before he had got beyond

Highness's reception by the Indian Government had been
satisfactory to him, and hoped that lasting amity would
