AL3ISGIVING AND MENDICANCY.

Some letters have appeared in the Times during
the last few days on the subject of the increase of
pauperism in connection with the thoughtless system
of almsgiving which prevails. At Blackheath a
mendicity society has been established, which
compels all applicants for charity to receive
alms through authorised modes of relief. The
result of the experiment has shewn that the
" really deserving " do not solicit relief, that out of
400 cases 190 were impostors, and only 16 deserving
poor. Another suggestion respecting the most desi-
rable mode of giving relief is that doles and giftsshould
be done away with, and some establishment be set up
in a central part of every district, where food and
requirements for the sick can be served out to the
really deserving. An instance of the practical good
to be thus gained has been met with in a south-west
district of Lcndon, and successive investigations
confirm the judgment of those who censure the
very indiscriminate relief now given in too many
Dlaees.

rily across the atlantic, owing to stress of weather, on
board the ship Expounder, of Boston (Captain Irvine),
bound from Nov Orleans for the Mersey. An event such

at the port to which one of the same profession may be
brought invariably treat him with the greatest hospitality.

CHURCH NEWS.

The John Bull (which paper, by the way, appears in
an enlarged form, with new type, and otherwise im-
proved) gives the following items of Church news :
Bishop Trower, on resigning the temporary charge
of the diocese of Lichfield, after the return of Bishop
Selwyn, wrote an address to the clergy of that dio-
cese, in which he says that two facts have
impressed him deeply : " the one, the crying want of
the diocese in its mining and manufacturing districts;
the other, the zeal of the ill-paid clergy, who from
the pure love of souls are doing our Master's work in
localities where they can be enabled to persevere in
their most faithful labours only by the highest pos-
sible motives."—A letter is published from the late
Archbishop Longley to the Bishop of Illinois, thank-
ing that bishop for the great assistance which he
rendered with regard to the Lambeth Congress,
" For myself," says the Archbishop. " I shall always
look back on the Conrerence as an important era in
my life and arcahiepiscopate. Oneof the actsof SirS•
Northcote, before leaving office, was to appoint the
Rev. C. R. Tollemache, senior curate of St. Matthias,
Stoke Newington (formerly curate. of St. Stephen's,
Devonport), to an Indian chaplaincy.—The Vicar of
Dymock, the Rev. W. Baird, has said that in order to
comply with the judgment of the Privy Council, he
will omit the hymn before the sermon and the
collect before and after the sermon, and will conclude
the service at the Holy Table with the prayer for the
Church Militant, the concluding collect and blessing.
—The Rector of St. James's, Westminster, a Low
Churchman, celebrated on Sunday standing east-
wards.—The Archdeacon of Taunton was to arrive in
London on Friday night, to draw up a report to
be submitted to the adjourned meeting of Ritualists.
It will probably counsel submission to the judgment
under protest, and will be, no doubt, generally
accepted. This statement of the John Bull's bears
out the anticipation of our London correspondent.
The Star also believes that our correspondent
is right in stating that the costs on both sides in the
recent suit amount to £20,000.

TICE RITUAL JUDGMENT.

Dr. Irons, of Brompton, writes to the John Bull to
say that he thinks too much importance has
been attached to the Ritual judgment. lle
has no sympathy with those who are for
ever declaring that doctrine is being attacked.
The judgment "would probably have fallen harmless
on Hursley had it been issued three or four years
ago, and it may fall harmless on us also, if we will.
It seems, indeed, almost neutralised, ab ivitio, by the
impossible dicta which accompany it." Dr. Irons
thinks it hard that "we may not continue to
believe as John Keble and Charles Marriott
believed and acquiesce if so be in the
ritual that sufficed for them, and even for Dr.
Pusey." Ile reminds his readers that the ornate ritual
of to-day was not thought of a few years ago. Mr.
Jebb writes a very long letter to the same paper,
denying- that any point of doctrine has been touched
by the judgment, and urging that the wnoie question
to be decided was one of " dry law," which " conies
legitimately under the province of lawyers," and that
"were the Church now free'' (as it is falsely termed;
that is, were it dissociated from the State, and sub-
jected to the slavery of imperious voluntary associa-
tions and the dictation of extreme parties) but did
it still retain its Litunry intact. I wgultl fairly Ask

THE REDUCTIONS.

The " service" papers are become suddenly interest-
ing. The alarm with which notice of a general
reduction in each department was received appears
to have subsided somewhat. The expression of it
does not seem to have been altogether without effect.
Opinion was so dead against the reduction of the
Royal Marines that it has sent that matter into the
limbo of uncertain possibilities. The United Service
Gazette, indeed, states that no such reduction was
contemplated. The Saturday Review speaks of the
re-arrangement of the Admiralty under Mr. Childers
as " absurd in its inception." But that department
seems determined to reduce expenses—which is its
great duty for the present. In addition to
the abolition of Master Attendant at Chat-
ham Dockyard, it is said that the Executive
Superintendent of Hospitals, Victualling-yard, Steam
Reserve, &c., will be suppressed, the work being
taken by the medical officers, the -Victualling Store-
keepers, and the Machinery Inspectors. Great
changes, too, are taking place in the "Steam Depart-
ment," now removed to the central building at
Whitehall. Two chief clerks of Navy Control
and the Steam Offices are to be superannuated.
Writers are to be thinned wherever practicable.
Both Woolwich and Deptford Dockyards are, accord-
ing to the Army and Navy Gazette, to be eventually
closed.

In the military department great changes are
to be made. Though the reduction of the marines
is abandoned pro tem., the Broad Arrow states that
our troops are to be recalled from certain
foreign possessions. The depot battalions also are to
be gradually annihilated, and the strength of the
other battalions equalised. Altogether, the papers
seem satisfied with the work that is being done, and
the way in which the Government have set about it.
But it by no means follows that every one else is.
Rumour says that H.R.H. " the Duke " is much
dissatisfied. When Mr. Cardwell sent to the Horse
Guards to ask him to agree to certain reductions and
alterations, " George " replied that the reductions
were impossible. They must be made, nevertheless,
was the effect of the rejoinder given by the Secretary
of State for War, and made they were, in spite of the
royal non possurnus. The Telegraph, speaking as if
inspired, points to the manufacturing department,
storehouses, and arsenals, as affording scope for re-
trenchment. " When we look at the army estimates,
and find that out of a total of £15,455,000 only
£5,749,200 go to the soldier, it is easy to -perceive
that the real field for great reductions lies in the
administrative services."

The volunteer force have been begging for more
money, and there seems to have been a gene-
ral impression that they would have a chance
with a new Government. Mr. Cardwell, however, is
too busy paring down to accede to an increase of the
capitation grant just now. So he told a deputation
which waited on him on Friday that he thought th e
volunteers had enough.

IRISH MATTERS.

The wise among the Irish people are trying to
invent some plan for the total suppression of land-
lord murders and agrarian outrages. Whether the
most elaborate machinery could prevent a sulky
tenant from taking revenge is at least a matter of
doubt ; but there are many who place their faith in
" prompt measures." One landlord writes from the
south to the Dublzn Mail, suggesting that a man's
property destroyed should be appraised under Lord
Campbell's Act, and the amount leviedin the form of a
county cess from the district in which the crime has
been committed. Where murder has been done the
widow shall be compensated in the same way
as in the case of fatal accidents on railways.
Thus, by making every man in a district interested
in the prevention of crime, our" Landlord " hopes to
suppress it. It is hard to believe, however, that
people in a district have so little notion of public
morality that their pockets must be touched ere they
will try to prevent crime.
Mr. Disraeli in one of his stories is extremely severe
on the notion which some people have that " the
world may be ruled by pamphlets." If the world
is not ruled by them we seem just now to be
flooded with these interesting tractates. Another is
mentioned to-day from Dr. Andrews, vice-president
of the Queen's College, Belfast. He considers the
Irish Church a real and substantial grievance—
" the greatest ecclesiastical abuse now existing
in Europe "—and that its removal is imperatively
called for in the interests of Ireland, of the empire,
and of religion itself. Er. Andrews is not, how-
ever, in favour of total disendowment. He would
extend the principles of the Itegium Donum to the
different Churches, and leave them free from State
control, except in requiring " that the money should
be strictly applied to the spiritual benefit of the
people." Following out his own theory, he is ad-
verse to the withdrawal of the grant from Maynooth.
The Northern Tfrluq, in dealing with Dr. Andrews's
endowment scheme, says the people would not
tolerate it.

LEGAL ITEMS.

The Law Times states that owing to the large
amount of work arising out of the election petitions,
the common law courts will be deprived of the ser-
vices of three of the ablest judges for the remainder
of the judicial year.—The same journal mentions a
rumour to the effect that Mr. Knox, the police
magistrate at Marlborough-street, wild succeed
Sir Richard Mayne, and that Mr. H. F. Lewis
will go to Marlborough-street. The state-
ment is confirmed that Mr. Wickens, who
has long been the Attorney-General's " Equity
devil " (the two words will sound incongruous to lay
ears) has been appointed Vice-Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, in the place of Mr. James, who
has been appointed Vice-Chancellor in succession to
Sir G. M. Gifford, now Lord Justice.—The Solicitor's
Journal censures Mr. Bruce's respite of Bisgrove, and
says " such a course is calculated to render the pre-
rogative, with the administration of which the Home
Secretary is entrusted, a curse instead of a blessing
to the country."

MR. THOROLD ROGERS ON FREE BANKING.

Mr. Thorold Rogers has given the public his views
on free banking through the columns of the Star.
Ile holds that. the
.power to issue paper money with-
out giving valid evidence that the notes will be con-
verted into cash at the holder's pleasure, is not neces-
sary fnotrutryhe purposes of honest and legitimate trade.
ago the London bankers voluntarily
renounced the privilege, and the reversal of that part
of the Act of 1844, which prohibits the creation of
new banks of issue, will never be effected unless
difference between
the position ignorance ministers to fraud. There is, however, as
11
lr.
Rogerspoints out, amarked
of the ordinary trader in a time
of pressure and that of the Bank of Eng-
land. If the reserve of a trader is far less than
his liabilities he is obliged to strengthen
his position by sales of property, in order to avoid
bankruptcy.into
When the Bank of England is brought
position,' as
i happened in 1866 and half a
nto this
dozen times before, its profits became enormous. As
a trading company it derives the largest advantages
when it ought by all rules of trade to get the least.
In short, the Bank of England gets an unnatural
advantage out of a public calamity. One of two
remedies should therefore be adopted. The incon-
vertible issues of the Bank—those which are based
on public securities—should be permanently reduced
themselves with gold by the sale
of stock as soon as their bullion falls below a certain
bc
oymopneell e lid altfo ; supply or
else the Bank directors should be
amount. The first of these remedies is, in Mr.
Rogers's opinion, the most advisable, since
the existent
privilege of the Bank is periodi-
cally mischievous to trade and unfair on
principles of equity. lie thinks it, moreover, worth
remembering, that the pressure of a discredited
currency falls heaviest on those whom the law is most
bound to protect, those to whom money is not a
commodity, but wages or income.

THE SULTAN AND THE VICEROY.

According to the Levant Times, the Egyptian
question is still in suspense. The Viceroy has not
answered the Grand Vizier's last letter, and makes no
sign of further concession. The representatives of the
great Powers have, it is well known, given their opinion
that the Sultan's amour propre has been sufficiently satis-
fied. The Levant Times thinks the affair will terminate by
the Viceroy's coming to render homage to his suzerain
without a written reply being required. An influential
Turkish functionary, who has taken an active part in the
matter, has tendered his resignation which has not been
accepted, though it appears probable that the Cabinet of
Constantinople will be remodelled as soon as tho Egyptian
question is definitely settled.

?HE VACANT BISHOPRICS.

The Evening Standard publishes the following :—" Nearly
all the statements published as to the filling of vacancies
in the several bishoprics are premature In all
cases where a bishopric has been offered the
clergyman selected has been asked to signify his
consent to be raised to the episcopate, the dis-
tribution of sees being reserved. The Rev. J. R. Mackarness,
Lord Arthur Hovey, the Rev. Dr. Temple, the Rev. R. W.
Church, and the Rev. Dr. Miller Lave keen selected foi
office. The Bishop of Oxford only consented to the transls.-
tion to Winchester after much urging and consideration;
and we believe does so reluctantly. The changes in the
various sees uuill prolably involve the translation of the
Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol." Our ecntempormy's
statement is utterly improbable. In the first place, there
are here designated too many bishops for the sees—unless,
indeed, any diocese should be divided. Even if that should Le
done, it is not likely that any appointment would be made
thus early to the new see, inasmuch as an Act of Parlia-
ment will be required to authorise the division, and this
cannot be obtained for at least six months. In the next
place, the translation of Bishop Ellicott is quite incredible.
His present preferment is worth quite as much as
any of the others that have fallen vacant, except that
of Winchester, which is to be filled, as the Standard
admits, by Bishop Wilberforce. In fact, the Bishopric
of Gloucester and Bristol is worth more than some of
the vacant bishoprics. Bishop Elliott is hardly likely to
take a less lucrative post than he has at present, nor
is he likely to get a more lucrative one from the
present Crvernment, inasmuch as he was by far the
strongest opponent of the Irish Church Bill among the
Bishops. Moreover, the See which he now fills has been

QUARRELLING OVER THE DEAR

An extraordinary outrage has taken place near Bristol.
Horick, the widow of an army officer, lived in a house
near Totterdown-terrace, on a pension allowed by Govern-
ment. A man named West, an intimate friend of Mrs.
Horick, lived in the same house, and died about
six weeks ago. Mrs. Horick, on his death, gave
herself up to habits of intemperance, and speedily
killed herself. Since the death of West, it appears that
his father, a man 60 or 70 years of age, had been allowed
to reside at the house, and after the demise of Mrs. Horick
be remained there a day or two, and then obtained
lodgings in the neighbourhood. Mrs. Horick's landlord,
who lives next door to the house of the deceased, then
took possession of the premises, Mrs. Horick having no
friends in the locality. On Friday it was rumoured that
the old man West had been advised to claim the furniture
and contents of the house, and that an attempt would be
made to gain possession of them by force. The land-
-lord placed the matter in the hands of Messrs. Clifton
and Mosely, and as an attack on the premises was
anticipated on Saturday, Mr. Cross, from Mr. Clifton's
office, attended there with a body of men to act on the
defensive. In the meantime, arrangements had been made
for the funeral to take place on the Saturday afternoon,
and while the hearse was in readiness at the door
to take the corpse a number men entered the
premises from the back dashed in the plate-gla.ss
windows, broke open the doors, and, getting into one of the
rooms, made pretty free with the beer and eatables provided
for those attending the funeral. They then came into
collision with the men engaged to protect the property,
and -while the corpse was in the house a disgraceful and
riotous scene prevailed till the defenders succeeded in
ejecting the intruders. The row attracted a considerable
crowd round the premises, and it was found necessary to
postpone the funeral.

A FARMER ACCIDENTALLY SIIOT.—A shocking
accident happened at a shooting party of farmers near
Leamington, on Wednesday afternoon. One of them fired
at a covey of birds and accidentally shot Mr. W. E. Frank-
lin, of Offchurch, who was also one of the party. Some of

the shots entered his right eye, completely destroying the
sight, and a great portion of the charge spread over his
right side. Mr. Franklin was taken to Leamington, where
Dr. Horneblow extracted some of the shots lodged in his
body, but those in the eye cause great agony, and it is
feared may have penetrated the brain.

EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY. - The Sydney
Morning Herald of the 11th of August, says it is stated on
good authority that there is a man (in the healthful dis-
trict of the Kurrajong) 113 years of age. His name is
Michael Norton. He lives on a patch of ground on the
Colo River. He states that he is the sergeant who was in
charge of the party under an officer named Ross, who
marched to Government House to 'arrest Governor Bligh

EAST CHESHIRE ELECTION.

The nomination of candidates at Macclesfield turned
out to be a lively affair. Immediately the Liberal
candidate, Sir Edward Watkin, rose to address the
crowd, a stand-up fight took place for the possession
of a party emblem, and it was some time before
order was restored. Sir Edward declared that
whatever should be the result of the present contest,
the Liberal party would fight until they gained their
fair share in the representation of Cheshire. Major
Legh had stated that his tenants could vote as they
please—a remark which Sir Edward challenged. He
called upon the gallant major to issue a letter pledg-
ing his honour that no harm should come to those_
of his tenants who voted on the Liberal aide. During
Mr. Brooks' speech the noise and interruptions were
so great that he could not be heard beyond the imme-
diate vicinity of the hustings. The show of hands
was declared to be largely in favour of the Liberal
candidate.

As a rule, the show of hands is a mere farce; but
this cannot be said in the present instance. Great pains
have been taken by the"Revivers" to show that the trade
of Macclesfield has been ruined by the French Treaty ;
yet we find that in this very town—to which the
Liberals have ostensibly contributed so much disaster
—the Liberal candidate obtains a majority of three
to one in his favour. No stronger argument could be
furnished to shew the untenable ground now ocou.
pied by these illusionists.

ARCHDEACON DENISON ON TILE CHURCH.

At a meeting of the English Church Union, held it
Liverpool on Wednesday evening, Archdeacor
Denison and Mr. Mackonochie spoke on the increase
of the episcopate and the ministry of Christendom
The Archdeacon, in the course of his address,
said that the Church of England as a Church
could get nothing from Parliament, for the
House of Lords had dealt its own death-
blow, and the House of Commons consisted of
Roman Catholics, Nonconformists people of no
religion at all, and those who had Nonconformist
constituents to gratify. He spoke, he said, with
feelings of great respect to the present episcopate,
when he said it was absolutely lifeless compared
with the wants of the dioceses. The English
Church Union was the representation of the prin.
ciples of dogma, which was the strength of the
Church of Rome, and therefore he advocated ite
increase all over England. The English people
were not going to become Roman Catholics, not
Broad Church, but they were going to become Anglo-
Catholics. The Church of England, he ended, had
nowhere called herself Protestant. Mr. Mackonochie
opened a discussion upon " The Reunion of Christen.
dose ," in the course, of which he stated that good
would result from the forthcoming General Council a'
Rome.

LAW A.ND POLICE.

BRZACIDIS OF TIM FACTORIES ACT.—Several cases arising
cat of breaches of the Factories Act have recently been
brought before metropolitan magistrates. Mr. Spearing,
a printer, of Holborn, has had to pay three penalties
of 20s. and costs for employing apprentices within pro-
hibited hours. At the Thames Police-court, several
\persons belonging to the Jewish persuasion were sum-
p:tong for employing workpeople on Sundays. They
pleaded that, as their Sabbath was on Saturday, and there
were several religious holidays lately, it was hard to have
to give up three days in the week. The magistrate, be-
lieving that they -acted in ignorance of the law ordered
them to enter into sureties to appear for judgment when
called upon.
SENDING DANGEnons GOODS BY RAIL.—Mr. Landsherger,
commission merchant, was summoned before the Southwark
Magistrate for sending eight barrels of mineral oil by the
London and Brighton Railway without distinctly marking
the nature of the goods outside, or otherwise giving notice
The oil was petroleum in a crude state. The magistrate
said it was a bad case, and inflicted the fall penalty-120
and costs. _

_TRIAL OF Two BROTHERS FOR MURDER.—TWO brothers
named Barbour have been charged at the Glasgow
circuit court with the murder of a poor washerwoman at
Greenock in Jaly last The elder pleaded guilty to cul-
pable homicide, and was sentenced to fifteen years' penal
servitude. The younger escaped punishment on the
ground Mit he had merely concealed his brother's crime.

&JFPOSED MURDER BY TRADES
UNIONISTS IN SALFORD.

A bTutal murder has just been committed in Salford,
which is supposed to have arisen out of a trade dispute.
On Monday afternoon a man named Burnes, who
lived at No. 33, Zebra-street, Regent-road, was seen
in conversation with two men in a beerhouse, near
the, Regent Hotel. One of the two men appeared from
his dress to be a bricklayer; Burnes was a mason.
After having some drink in the beerhouse, the three men
went into the road, Burnes being apparently anxious to
escape from the other men, and the bricklayer following
him with threats and abuse. Suddenly, whilst Burnes
was quickening his pace, the bricklayer went up to him
and struck him a fearful blow on the head. The unfor-
tunate man fell heavily, the back of his head striking
the flagstone with such force as to render him quite insen-
sible. The fury of his assailant seemed to increase when
the unfortunate man fell, and he kicked him with great
violence, and even lifted up his head and dashed it on the
flagstone. Whilst all this was being done, a number of
persons looked on, but not the slightest attempt seems to
have been made to seize the murderer, and he escaped.
The murdered man was removed to the Salford Royal
'Hospital, but he was never conscious after his ad-
,mission, and died on Tuesday evening. He had a
-wife and three or four children, who are left in a
deplorable condition.

JERSEY REPUDIATES TAXATION.

A large funded debt, heavy floating liabilities n) money
in the public exchequer, creditors clamouring for payment
(some of them having sued the treasurer and obtained
judgment against him), a determined resolution not to
impose either direct or indirect taxation, and no feasible
means of providing for the ever-increasing demands—such is
the condition of the States legislative body of Jersey at the
present moment. Four stormy meetings have been held
to consider the state of the finances and to provide a
remedy. After a two days' discussion, it was resolved
that money was wanted, and that some means must be
employed to secure it. At the third meeting the States
resolved that they would not raise money by indirect taxa-
tion; and at the fourth, held on Tuesday, they
resolved that they:would not raise it by means of direct
taxation. A proposition to levy the small sum of £1,500
per annum by a direct tax to assist in paying off a loan of
£lO,OOO (if the Home Government would grant it) was stoutly
opposed by the anti-tax party, and it was lost by a majority
of one vote. Not fewer than seven plans were proposed as
remedies for the desperate condition of the finances. Mean-
while the States remain, financially, "as they were," and
creditors must exercise all the patience they aro possessed
of till some mode of paying them is devised,

he is shortly to stump Pennsylvania. Secretary i
Boutwell has returned, and Attorney-General Hoar
will next week, when we will have a full Cabinet
meeting this day week. The President is expected '
here next Tuesday, by which time the White louse
will be renovated and completed for a winter resi-
dence. Secretary Robeson has been very ill, so
much so, I regret to say, that yesterday he was
unable to receive visitors. It would never do for
the Secretary of the Navy to follow the Secretary
of War. Parson Brownlow, old and decrepit as
he is, keeps up the conflict. At present a row with
Captain Ricks of Knoxville is progressing, who ac-
cuses him, in violation of his promise, of having
permitted a Secessionist to succeed him in the edito-
rial chair of the Knoxville Whig. In reply it is
asserted that the paper is owned by a company, in
which Brownlow only held shares, without a con-
trolling influence, the sale of these being but a mere
matter of business, that Ricks' charge arose from a
feeling of hostility, as he had been rejected by the
Senate as Pension Agent at Knoxville. The Pub-
lishing Association announces that the Washington
Express is to be issued in connection with the Na-
tional intelligence). as a Democratic morning jour-
nal next Monday. Already the Secretaries are
gathering their information on which to compile
their annual reports to Congresa. A circular has
been forwarded to the head of each bureau of the Trea-
sury Department to send in at once an account of
the year's business, and other Cabinet Ministers are,
I suppose, doing the same. It appears now to be
certain that General Sickles was not authorized
to make any demand on the Spanish Government,
but to press mediation earnestly on the basis of a
fair payment by the Cubans to induce the
Spaniards to withdraw ; and this is the view
still held to be the correct one by lead-

ing members of the Government. The question
has been carefully considered by the State Depart-
ment,,and our Minister has been told to press this
on the attentiott of the Madrid Administration.
Here a positive refusal is anticipated, and people

look with some apprehension on the growing ex-
citement among the Spaniards, and Prim's pro-
ceedings in Vance. I can assure you that it bodes
no good ; for, although our Administration will
carry on their negotiations in the-Inost courteous
and conciliatory manner, yet they strongly incline
to put their foot firmly down on the Cuban ques-
tion.

THE ALBERT ASEITI 411. tie COMPANY.

Whatever may be the opinion of the London
Committee, the policy:holders residing at Liverpool
and Hull seem determined to set their faces against
the scheme for worlriu,?; out the Albert account by the
Alliance Company. Those who hold policies in the
first-named town have passed a rosolution stating that
they are afraid that by sanctioning the scheme
they may compromise their claim on the shareholders
of the several companies whose business has been
transferred to the Albert, and they, therefore, prefer
that the assets should be realised as soon as possible.
The Liverpool policy-holders set forth similar views
in a resolution, which also expressed a wish that Mr.
llarding should be appointed co-liquidator with Mr.
Price, to protect the interests of the policy-holders.
