A REJECTED BISHOP.

Some time ago Dr. Jenner, Bishop of Dunedin,
finding that his active and prominent participation
in English ritualist services had rendered him very
unpopular in his diocese, deferred his departure, and
after a long delay he agreed to submit the differences
which had arisen to a diocesan synod, and to accept
any decision to which that body might come.
The Synod has now decided that it will
be for the benefit of the Church that Bishop
Jenner should not take charge of the diocese,
and lie is therefore requested to resign the
bishopric. He will be the more able to do this
because, although he has been consecrated three
years, he has not resigned his living, but has placed
in charge of it the Rev. A. Cherol, formerly curate
of St. Raphael's, Bristol, an " advanced " ritualist
Church. It was stated a short while ago that Bishop
Jenner had set out for his diocese, but the Church
News of this week states that he was last month
taking part in services at a clerical gathering in
Albany, New York.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jan. 2.

Further accounts of the fighting at Malaga state
that yesterday morning General Caballero de Rodas,
supported by the ships of war now stationed at
Malaga, attacked the insurgents, who had in-
trenched themselves in the qnarter of St. Trinity,
while General Pavia, the Military Governor, made
an attack on their stronghold from another quarter.
The insurgents were completely beaten, and the
troops of the line took possession of all the districts
held by them. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
in the ranks of the army.
In General Pavia's corps four men were killed,
but, on the whole, the troops of the line did not
suffer much. The losses iu the insurgent force were
considerable.

A GOOD SEA CAPTAIN.

A passenger by the steamship Columbia during her
late perilous voyage from New York to Glasgow has
given a graphic account of the risks which the vessel
ran, and of the coolness and courage displayed by her
commander. The danger to which the Columbia
was exposed needs no comment, as it arose from the
very same accident which occasioned the total loss of
the Hibernia very recently The accident to the
screw propeller occurred on the 4th of December,
nearly three weeks before the arrival of the Columbia
at Queenstown, and there is very little doubt that
had the captain been a man of less courage,
firmness and energy, and had he been less ably
seconded by his officers and crew, the story would
have been a sad one. The first intimation which the
passengers received of the disaster was the sound of
a violent knocking. They were naturally much
alarmed, but were reassured by Captain Carnaghan,
who told them that an accident had happened to the
propeller, which might delay their arrival in Glasgow.
The gentleman who writes the account was surprised,
on going on deck, to see the boats getting ready. He
was told it was a matter of precaution, and was asked
to say nothing about it. After consultation with
the engineer, Captain Carnaghan tried to withdraw
the shaft and let go the screw. The men stood
firm at their posts while the experiment was
made. The rush of water into the ship, however,
compelled them to replace the shaft to stop the leak,
and it was then determined to make fast the screw,
so that it could not again break loose, and thus the fatal
hammering on the stern of the ship, which threatened
every moment to carry
it away, would be arresttd.
The passenger in question gives an animated descrip-
tion of the difficulties met and conquered during the
process, and of the active part taken by Captain
Carnaghan, who was hung over the stern by a rope
that he might superintend the work more effectually.
The screw was made fast, and never moved again till
the Columbia was safe in Queenstown, her passengers
owing their lives, under Providence, to the courage
and coolness of her captain.

LORD NAI'IER AND LORD MAYO AT ADEN.

The simultaneous arrival of the new Governor-
General of India and the hero of Magdala at Aden
gave occasion for an interesting demonstration in
their honour. The address presented to Lord Mayo
was got up by natives of India and Arabia, the
president of the committee being a Parsee, and the
vice-president an Arab. The secretary, who was also
a Parsee, read the address in English with fluency.
The address presented to Lord Napier was from all
the inhabitants of Aden, who were naturally
much interested in the war, in which they
played a subordinate part. The city was decorated
m honour of the two celebrities. An avenue 2GO
yards long and two triumphal arches enhanced the
display, while a number of Arabs from the interior,
in their national costume, added to the picturesque
effect. Lord Mayo, in acknowledging the compli-
ment paid him, declared that it would be his great
object in ruling India to preserve unbroken peace
and to encourage every measure for the social and
material improvement of the people. Lord Napier,
in reply to the address presented to him, acknow-
ledged the assistance which he had derived in the
conduct of the Abyssinian war from the trading
community of Aden. He observed that for his own
part he hadalways endeavoured, in his conduct towards
the people of India, to show the regard and just feel-
ing which the Queen and the English people
generally entertained for them. The departure of
Sir John Lawrence was a matter of regret, but he
was convinced that Lord Mayo had come to India
with feelings of the warmest interest, and that he
would devote himself to protect the just rights and
promote the welfare of its people.

ANOMER GAS9METER BLOWY DOIVN.

The Gloucester Gasworks were yesterday the
scene of an accident almost equally serious with
that which happened at Cambridge on Monday. A
large gasometer, capable of holding 240,000 feet
of gas, has recently been erected at the works, at a
cost of neatly £4,000; and there are two other
gasometers, holding together about 130,000 feet.
The works are situated on the Severn Quay.
Shortly after one in the morning one of the
chains supporting the largest gasometer was broken
by the violence of the wind, and the breaking of a
second chain just after caused the vessel to
rapidly descend. While it was descending, one
of the large pulleys fell over and broke a hole
in the crown. The gas escaped rapidly through
the rent, and dispite the efforts of the workmen
the 70,000 feet the gosometer contained were
soon exhausted. There was a light near, but no
explosion occurred. The gasometer will have to
be raised by main force; meanwhile the company's
agents find themselves unable to supply the city
even to a moderate extent. A similar accident
happened with one of the small gasometers a few
years ago.

POLITICS AT EDINBURGH.

The members for the city of Edinburgh nave put
in the usual appearance before their constituents.
Speaking of the Scottish Education Bill, Mr.
INPLaren said ho was not in favour of secular educa-
tion as preferable to the system which now existed
in the parish schools. He wished that all new schools
should be simply additional parish schools, to be
managed by a local committee, fairly elected from all
classes of ratepayers. He thought the Catechism
should bo left out ; but the Bible ought to be read,
and its grand moral precepts explained, a conscience
clause being rigorously enforced. Mr. Miller, the
other member, looks forward to complete separation
between Church and State in Britain.

The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 ycnng
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 624 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

SOUTHWARK.

The electors of Southwark will hear enough
stumping before polling-day, if the numerous candi-
dates keep up the energy which they are now dis-
playing. The election cannot take place for some
time, but the Liberal aspirants are, nevertheless,
making three speeches a week. But these speeches
have, at all events, tho merit of precision. The
candidates say what they would like, and
what they would not Erie, with unmistake-
able clearness. Sir Sydney Waterlow tried an
address on Tuesday, and though confronted
by a strong Odgerian element, contrived to put for-
ward a progranune, which was at least comprehen-
sive. He would support a good Irish land bill; a
good educational bill ; vote by ballot ; equalisation of
rates ; abolition of University tests ; and total aboli-
tion of the game laws. He was a Free-Trader, and
did not attribute the present stagnation of business to
Free Trade, but to the too great inflation of commerce,
and to foreign wars. = lie should leave the question
of opening the museums on Sundays to public opinion.
He was opposed to the Permissive Bill. Unfortu-
nately, even this large display did not prevent the
meeting from pronouncing in favour of Mr. Odger.

ATTEMPTS AT TREASON IN GLASGOW.

The Irish nationalists appear to be trying to work
up a cause in Glasgow. They are not apparently
very successful, and yet they make more way than
could be wished. On Monday night a lecture against
the Union call3d forth 2.50 persons, and they loudly
cheered the speaker. The proposition which they
laid down was that only an Irish Parliament could
legislate for Ireland. •

EA ST DEVONSHIRE.

Lord Courtenay will, it is reported, resign his seat
for East Devonshire immediately on the reassembling
of Parliament. He has represented the division only
since the last general election. He sat for Exeter
from August 1804 to December 1808. The contest
for East Devon was severe, Lord Courtenay polling
4,100 ; Sir Lawrence Palk, 4,034 ; and Mr. Charles
F. Wade, 3,457. Mr. Wade will again come for-
ward in the Liberal interest; but who the Conserva-
tive candidate will be has yet to be settled. Lord
Courtenay was born in 1830.

TILE SECRETAUY OF TIIE TREASURY.

Mr. R. R. Wheeler Lingen, the new Secretary of
the Treasury, had an unusually brilliant career as an
undergraduate at Oxford, and took a First Class
in literis humaniorilus. 110 gained a fellowship at
Ilaliiol College, and in 1840 was elected to the Eldon
Scholarship. After servinFat Rugl.y a; composition
master, he entered the Educational Department of
the Privy Council Office, in which he rose gradually
until, in 1849, he succeeded Sir J. P. Kay-Shuttle-
worth as Chief Secretary to the Committee of Privy
Council for Education. In that capacity he is under-
stood. to have been ono of the chief advisers and
promoters of the framing and publication of the
famous "Educational Minute," which some years ago
caused so much controversy in clerical circles and
among schoolmasters in general.

THE CANON OF WESTMINSTER V. THE BISHOP • OF

LIN C 0 LN.

The Bishop of Lincoln .I)rotests against Dr. Temple's
consecration ; he is not satisfied with the requirements
made of the bishops by law. A certain Canon of
Westminster, however, protested in Convocation
against the condemnation of "Essays and Reviews,"
declared that the law was enough, and could
alone be appealed to to reject heresy in
the Church. The same Canon presented a
petition to the Lower Ifouse, and urged that
its prayer might be heard, when it set forth
that it was illegal for either house to judge of heresy
without the Queen's licence, and unjust to
convict writers of heresy without calling upon thorn
to defend themselves. y The simple Canon Words-
worth, who did all this, has become Bishop of
Lincoln, and now he judges of Dr. Temple much as
Convocation did of "Essays and Reviews." He asks
him to make an extra-legal confession of faith, and
wants him to be rejected from the office of bishop
tailless he does so. has his lordship's elevation
changed his mind ?

TILL' PRICE OF MEAT.

At the Metropolitan Cattle Market there was a
good supply of stock this morning, and it com-
prised a fair proportion of prime descriptionss, with
some of the usual cheap character. The weather
continues unfavourable, and this, with the dullness
in the market for dead meat, rendered buyers ex-
tremely cautious hero to-day, and the trade gene-
rally ruled slow, with a downward tendency in
prices. Among the English cattle there were some
very prime animals, but those in middling to good
condition predominated. The foreign supplies
again included some superior French beasts,
but the number included some middling and
rough stock from Corunna. The beef trade, from
the causes above alluded to, was dull, and sales
dragged on languidly, whilst prices generally ruled
about 2d per stone lower. For the pick of }lv-T-
-HAI beef 5s 8d was the current top figure, and
ss. 10d. an excess price for very choice. Good
useful qualities realised 53. to ss. 4d. Foreign beef
was lower, and even among the prime qualities ss.
4d. was an exceptional topping price. The number
of sheep on show was about an average, the propor-
tion of Do mils being rather short for that period.
Fur prime Down waiter nity.tou there was an in-
quiry, and Gs. was currently paid; prime half-bred
sold steadily at ss. Bd. to 5s Rid. toprates. Pork met
a moderate sale without material change in prices.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

ror libel. Colonel Brockman, A the Protestant
Evangelical Electoral Union—vhose publications
we noticed a day or two back—has been
'bringing certain charges againt Father Ignatius
—charges of impure life, of fraid, and general im-
moral character. Exasperated bir the continuance of
these attacks, the friends of the 'ev. gentleman have
urged upon him the advisabilityof vindicating him-
self. lie laid the matter before the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who gave him the )ermission which he
sought, to go to law before the gentiles. An action
against the -colonel has therefwe been commenced.
There are, we believe, several small charges against Mr.
Lyne, founded upon some statements made by one
or two of the " brothers" who left the monastery.
One at least of these " brothers' confessed that what
he had said was in most part 4ntruo, and generally
exaggerated. Some time since he begged the father's
pardon; but whether the matter will be again raised
does not appear.

tence of the Austrian Empire to be only possible under th(
form of a federation of different self-governing peoples.
The Austrian journals complain loudly of the sympathy
which Russia has shewn to the Dalmatian insurgents.
This sympathy is said, however, to be in reality
confined to the Panslavist clubs, in which the Czechs are
very numerous. They proposed to make collections, and
to hold theatrical representations for the benefit of the
insurgents, but could not obtain the necessary permission.
Russia, says a correspondent, does not wish better than to
maintain her cordial relations with Austria, only she
insists that Montenegro shall not be threatened.

ALASSA.

The special Indian Commissioner, Mr. Vincent Colyer,
who was sent to Alaska to report on the condition of the
country and its inhabitants, has returned to the United
States. The territory, it will be remembered, was pur-
chased a short time since by the American Government,
and the wisdom of the venture was afterwards much ques-
tioned. Mr. Colyer, however, gives a promising account,
and considers that the islands of St. Paul and St. George
are alone worth the prico paid for the whole territory,
the annual revenue from them made by some San
Francisco firms amounting to nearly half a million dollars.
The explorer travelled along the coast of Alaska for several
thousand miles, and found 70,000 Indians living in villages
in a tolerably civilised state. They owned large droves of
cattle, and raised crops of some extent. Up in the most
northern regions, M. Colyer and his party bought supplies
of fat cattle, which were plentiful. The Alaska fisheries
are very extensive, and game of various kinds is abundant
in the less-frequented parts. Beets, parsnips, carrots, and
barley are grown without trouble.

Chinese into the labour fields of North America, has
hit upon a curious plan of accomplishing this great
object of bringing the coolies to the southern cotton
plantations.. Instead of landing them at San Fran-

NEUTRALITY.

w." contributes a noteworthy letter to the
Times on the old controversy between England and
America. The subject is worn; but ono of
"J. C. W.'s" pol.nts will bear reproduction. He
argues, as do En
glishmen generally, that the Queen's
Proclamation of Neutrality was not premature. But,
in addition, he argues that such a proclamation con-
fers no belligerent rights at the hands of the neutral
power. " The rights of the belligerent under and brj
virtue of the proclamatzon of neutrality, are abso-
lutely none. The duties of the one and the rights of
the other rest on wholly other grounds. The procla-
mation gives no rights to the belligerent which did
not exist without it. Belligerent rights aro not
conceded by a neutral proclamation ; they exist by
virtue of the state of legal war." Mr. Alexander
Hamilton, commenting on Washington's proclama-
tion in 1793, puts the whole aim of such a notice as
follows :

A proclamaticn of neutrality when a,nation is at liberty
to avoid or decline a war in which other nations are
engaged, and means to do so, is a usual and proper mea-
sure. Its main object is to prevent the nation's being
responsible for acts done by its citizens without the pri-
vity or connivance of the Government, in contravention of
the principles of neutrality, an object of the greatest
moment to a country whose true interest lies in the pre-
servation of peace.

CHURCH RATE DISPUTE.

The metropolitan district of Poplar has been
greatly exercised by a Church-rate dispute. For
some years, the vestry has levied a rate under the
authority of a local Act, some clauses of which are
not affected by the Church-rate Abolition Act of
1868. Last June a Church-rate of 2d. in the pound
was made for the parish of All Saints. This
was considered by many persons in the district
to be an "excessive, and therefore illegal demand,
and an agitation was commenced to oppose it.
It was argubd that though a rate might be allowable
for purely ecclesiastical purposes, this particular im-
post was much too great, and it was designed to
employ it for purposes which were not within the
limits of a church rate. Three-farthings in the pound,
instead of twopence, would serve all lawful
purposes. The justices, being appealed to,
gave a decision on Tuesday. They held that
they were bound to issue the usual warrants for the
payment of the rate, but they had recommended the
parish authorities to test a case with one or other of
the large railway companies, some of whom had still
refused to pay. It would, of course, be understood
that the decision in the case tried would decide the
others, and that meanwhile no action should be taken
for the recovery of the rates objected to. This result
seems to have given general satisfaction.

SMALL MOLDINGS IN IRELAND.

The Registrar-General's recent return reveals an
important fact at bearing on the Irish land question.
It is shown that the number of small holdings is
decreasing, and large holdings increasing. In
1868 there were 594,441 separate holdings, a
decrease of 2,777 as compared with the former
year. The number of farms above one acre and not
exceeding five acres has decreased in Treland 75.2 per
cent. since 1841. In Leinster the decrease was 56-1
per cent.; in Munster, 78.0; in Ulster, 75.1; and
in Connaught, 82.8 per cent. The total number of
farms above - one acre decreased tim mine
period MO per cent. in Leinster ; 30.4 in Munster ;
10.5 in Ulster; and 23.7 in Connaught. The total
number of holdings above one acre in Ireland in
1841 was 091,202. In 1851 it, fell to 070,338, and
in 1868 to 544,030. shelving a total decrease of
140,570. Of the total number of holdings 28.9 per
cent. are from 5 to 15 acres, 250 per cent. from 15
to 30, and 12.1 per cent. from 30 to 50 acres.
Sixty-one per cent, of the acres in farms about 500
acres are bog and waste.

FORF,IGN NOTES.

PRUSSIAN FINANCES.

The Berlin Chamber of Deputies has commenced the
discussion of the measures by means of which Herr Camp-
hausen hopes to cover the deficit. The principal measure
proposed is the partial suppression of the annuities. It
was stated that Count Bismarck was opposed to the policy
of the Finance Minister, and some of the journals com-
menced an animated discussion on the subject. The
North German Gazette has given a fiat contradiction to the
report, and declares that Count Bismarck is in favour of
the scheme, which is pretty certain to be adopted.

TILE AUSTRIAN EMPIRE.

The French papers publish correspondence from Bohemia,
stating that the centralising and Government party have
been completely defeated by the natienal Czech party in
the recent nruncipal elections at 'Prague. A German
Federal party has been formed at Vienna, which is dis-
posed to recognise the rights of Bohemia and Gallicia,.and
new efforts arc being made to obtain a mtrtual
understanding between the Austrian Government
and Bohemia. A work by Herr Fischof, who was

IMPORTANT PAPAL BULL.

A Papal Bull has been distributed to the fathers of the
Council. It states that every divine who thinks it his
duty to make a proposition may do so. Various conditions
are attached to the permission, one being that tho
proposition be made in writing and privately.
The right of presenting a bill is not recognised
in the bishops by the Court of Rome; every pro-
posal which they wish to make must be received by an
officer appointed by the Pope. Some of the independent
bishops have complained of this arrangement, and say
that the burcivi should bo named by themselves. The
Pope imposes secrecy upon every person concerned in
the Conciliary labours, and names the officers of the
Council. The bishops find fault with this arrangement
also, declaring that the Assembly should have appointed
the officers. Legates are appointed to preside over the
general congregations, and any father who wishes
to harangue the Assembly must obtain permission
from these Legates. In conclusion, the Pope for-
bids the fathers from absenting themselves before the
conclusion of the council. Many causes of dissatisfaction
aro to be found in this Papal Bull, and the foreign epis-
copacy complain that only one of the five legates and five
of the forty-eight officers of the council are foreigners.
