THE House of Commons lost some of its notabi-

lities at the general election, but it has certainly
gained some excellent men of business. Never was
so much work of primary importance got through in
so short a space of time as has happened this session.
Expedition has not been obtained at the cost of com-
pleteness. On the contrary, the great measures which
have been under deliberation have been most tho-
roughly discussed. The Irish Church Bill was exhausted
in the parliamentary debates and in committee. The
Bankruptcy Bill, which has passed through the Lower
House, is the net result of several years' deliberation.
The Endowed Schools Bill has been most favourably
received by the Upper House. And now the
University Tests Bill is likely to reach that body in
the course of a week or two. That it will become
law this session is, perhaps, too much to affirm. And
yet we see Inc good reason why it should not. When
the House of Commons has approved a measure by
a majority of considerably more than two to one,
it becomes a serious matter for the house of Lords
to reject it. The moderation shewn by the majority
of the Peers with respect to the Irish Church Bill
leads us to hope that they will not reject Sir JOHN
COLERIDGE'S. They have done so in time past, and
with the usual result. The demands of those who
desire reform have increased. The present bill is
more thorough than its predecessors. If this should
be rejected, and the agitation be continued
for a few more years, the next bill will
propose still greater changes. Mr. NEWDEGATE,
indeed, would not be influenced by that considera-
tion. He would rather resist to the uttermost and
be overwhelmed, than move an inch from his position
in order to prevent a catastrophe. Frangor non
fleetor is his motto ; let there be revolutions, but
there shall be no reforms. This reminds us of the
Frenchman's opinion of the charge of Balaklava, it is
magnificent but it is not statesmanship. There is
no reason to suppose that the Peers led now, as
they are really, though not nominally, by
Lnrd SALISBURY, will adopt the heroic destructive

:ours() which the .AnntEL of the Lower House would
lave them take. If they have swallowed the camel
of the Irish Church Bill, they ought not to strain
greatly at the gnat of the University Tests Bill.
The last-named measure is, however, by no means
unimportant. To admit Dissenters to the governing
bodies of our colleges is not a small change. At the same
time it is the inevitable result of previous changes. To
tell Dissenters that they may study at the university and
carry off its highest honours, but must not receive
its highest rewards, is a position that no one can
seriously hope to maintain in the present state of
public feeling. It becomes the more untenable
when we find that Dissenters can even now assume
the position of tutors. As a matter of fact, several
of the most influential tutors, especially at Cam-
bridge, are Dissenters. This being the case, it is
impossible to uphold the present exclusion on
high grounds, such as that of the necessity of pre-
serving the connection between the teaching body
and religion. A man of no religion may teach ;
not a few of such do teach. The man of a particular
sort of religion may teach, and does teach, but must
not share the revenues of the colleges. Clearly this
is a question of privilege, not of principle; of exclu-
siveness, not of orthodoxy. As such it cannot possibly
be maintained.

THE House of Lords has reciprocated the plain
spokenness of the country by equally plain speaking.
The country said that the Irish Church should be
disestablished and disendowed ; the Lords, that is to
say the Whig and Conservative Lords, have said
that the surplus funds shall be used towards
a partial concurrent endowment. Intrinsi-
cally, there is nothing more repugnant to
Protestantism in providing a house and a potato-
garden for a Roman Catholic priest than in providing
a college and professors for Roman Catholic students.
In fact, the second approaches more nearly than the
first to the endowment of Popery." To teach young
men Roman Catholic theology is certainly, from the
High Protestant point of view, a more heinous offence
than to provide a Roman Catholic priest with a resi-
dence and his vegetables. In the one case the nation
absolutely pays for teaching what it regards as error ;
in the other it simply pays the teacher. Even Orange-
men would admit that a priest must live, and therefore
they ought not to object to supplying him with
-.o—mttuu us to- TaiMialiing the works of
BELLAILMINE and LIGUORI. In a word, the Duke of
CLEVELAND'S proposal to appropriate a portion of
the Church funds to the purchase of glebes for
Roman Catholic priests ought not to shock the
people which has for some quarter of a century been
paying the Maynooth Grant.

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

But while we are not surprised that the Duke of
CLEVELAND'S amendment should meet with so much
favour among Whig and Conservative Peers, while
each day renders it more probable that it will
be carried by the Upper House, we do not see
how Mr. GLADSTONE can accept it if the nation
should at all decisively declare against it. It is
quite true that during the elections he and other Min-
isters mentioned their desire to preserve for the Irish
Church the use of the glebes and the pa'rsonages.
But it is also true that they promised that no por-
tion of the Church revenues should go towards the
maintenance of the Roman Catholic faith (excepting
so far as vested interests required to be compen-
sated) ; and when they found that the desire was
incompatible with the promise, they rightly
abandoned the first and kept the second. The
House of Commons supported them in this
decision. Some members of the Liberal party
appealed to the Government to yield on this point
and leave the clergy in possession of their glebes and
parsonages. But when it was pointed out that this
could not be done without either breaking a specific
pledge or abandoning the main principle °Me 141--

FEARFUL EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF
LIFE.

CARNARITON, Wednesday Night.
A ship load of nitro-glycerine having arrived
from Liverpool at Carnarvon bar it was conveyed
in boats to Carnarvon pier. This afternoon five cart
loads were despatched—two for Assheton Smith's
Llanberis quarries, and three for Lord Penrhyn's
Bethesda quarries. At 6 p.m., whilst the former
two were. near...4.lwyraglo, a terrible explosion took
place. The horses and three men were blown to
atoms. The cart wheels and portions of the carts
were thrown nearly a mile. Au adjacent village,
about a quarter of a mile distant, was greatly in-
jured. Windows were blown out and great
household damage done. At the spot where the
carts were two round holes, six feet deep and
seven feet in diameter, were made. The railway
station forty yards off was blown to pieces. The
whole valley at the foot of Snowdon, and
two large lakes, suffered a tremendous shock.
The damage done all round the valley was
very great. The shock was felt at Carnarvon
and Bangor, and for miles around. -Portions of
human remains were found forty yards off. Three
quarrymen, 300 yards off, were severely injured.
The three other carts, which were a mile apart, have
ban left for the night on the roadside. The greatest
consternation prevails. Thousands of persons have
congregated from neighbouring towns and villages
at the *ten° of the accident. A cartwheel was
found fifty yards off, on rocks above the ecene of
the accident.

CORBESFONDEECE FROM PARIS.

AMENDMENTS TO THE IRISH CHURCH
BILL.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY, June 30.

The first day of the session opened with a victory, or
rather a piece of good luck, for the Government of very
considerable importance. Your readers will remember
that all questions submitted to the Ministers
must be first approved of by the bureaux, or
committees, of which there are nine. These bureaux
are selected from the whole Chamber by lot; and it
happened that on Monday, when the balloting took place,
the Opposition did not secure a majority in any one of
them. Thus the Government will be able to repel all
attempts at questioning, if it be so minded, its supporters
having the command of the majority in every bureau.
This is undoubtedly an ill-omened commencement for
the Opposition. All evil augury notwithstandirigsl am
able to confirm what I said yesterday about the unity of
the Liberals. They have all met, and have agreed that on
certain questions on which they arc in accord the only
hope of success lies in co-operation. A meeting was held
on Monday in cue of the rooms at tech«? to the Chamber. All
shades of the opposition were reprei:ented. The eubj, et
of deliberation was the line of policy to be taker, in the
coming contest on the verification of the elections. Some
very lively talk took place on the question of Incompati-
bility. M. Picard, I am informed, took the
large view of the subject, arguing that no restriction
should be placed on the decrees of universal suffrage, and
urging that even the Emperor's ellandierlains ought not to
be excluded if fairly chosen by the people. But the
majority by no means concurred in this view. It was
almost unanimously agreed that a chamberlain, in virtue
of his office, could not exercise his own judgment as a
deputy, and that, therefore, he was not fit to sit in the
Chamber. The same sentence of incompatibility was
passed upon other Imperial functionaries who are depen-
dent on the Emperor for their places, and yet have seats
in the Chamber. It was resolved, I am assured, that a
stand should be made against all these, on the ground that
they were not capable of fairly representing the wishes of
the' people. A director of the Credit Fonder is one of the
black sheep.
M. JerOnse David resigned his position as Vice-Presi-
dent of the Corps Leg-islatif in consequence of the pub-
licity given to the letters which passed between M. Schneider
and the Emperor. But his Majesty declined to accept
the resignation of M. David any more than the resigna-
tion of M. Schneider, and so this affair ends.
The semi-panic which seized the Bourse on the first
report of the speech made by the Emperor at Chalons on
the Solferino anniversary speedily disappeared when the
real tenor of the address was known. It was agreed that
the few sentences uttered were only such as would
naturally suggest themselves on this occasion.
It seems, however, that Marshal Bazaine—known
to fame as the commander in Mexico—thought
it incumbent upon him to make a speech at the
camp last Sunday, which he did. The burden of his dies
course was that the French army was ready to march and
commence a campaign at any moment without the
slightest additional preparation. Every corps is com-
plete; every detail arranged. The march can be sounded
at any time. Further, this state of affairs is to be the
normal condition of the French army ; but it does not
indicate any intention or desire for hostilities. Si vi 3
pacent was the burden of Marshal Bazaine's speech;
only the Parisians on reading it are disposed to observe
that the principle may be carried too far.
Rather an odd fact is reported in connection with the
Emperor's speech at Chalons. It appears that each
soldier received the text of the discourse, in memory of
Solferino, printed on a card about the size of an
ordinary playing card. Is this to be interpreted as a
bellicose symptom?
Much more serious than these .speeches, speculations,
and rumours, is the undoubted fact-that the health of the
Emperor is far from satisfactory. His Majesty has been
but indifferently well throughout this tour in the country,
but on Sunday last he is reported to have shewn deplorable
signs of weakness. He fainted away, we are told, and had
to be almost carried off to his carriage.
We do not as yet get many details of election expenses,
but those that do arrive are very interesting. I find, for
instance, that an Opposition candidate who was successful
spent only £6O over the entire contest. He will receive
a salary of £4OO for the session. There are plenty of men
who would not be members of the British House of Com-
mons ; but who, on these terms, would not be a member
of the French Corps Legislatif ? Other candidates, hav-
ever, were not let off so easily. For instance, it is said
that one aspirant in a southern department spent £6,000,
and failed after all. But this—even if the sum be quite
correct, which I doubt—is a very extreme case.
All over France the expenses of the contests have
been infinitely smaller than in England. One candidate,
however, a Liberal, was so much in dread of the ballot-
boxes being tampered with that he spent £560 in pro-
viding watchers. But, on the whole, it is c!ear that
the Corps Ldgislatif is not a rich man's club, and it is
equally clear that the Ballot may claim much of the credit
of this result. Our deputies do not enjoy the power and
privileges of your M.P.'s, but still there are many aslvane
tages attendant upon a seat in the Corps 1-36gislatif which
rich men would gladly pay for if money would buy
them.

It seems quite useless to make any regulations, lax or
strict, against duelling in this part of the world. People
in Paris will fight. In the first place, many have nothing
else to do, and to these a combat offers a little agreeable
excitement ; and, in the next place, this is the traditional
headquarters of duelling. We have had several
encounters here of late. One has just been fought at
Fontainebleau, between two officers of the Garde of very
different rank. They were so determined to bring the
affair off successfully, that they took civilian seconds in
order that the transaction might not come within military
jurisdiction. Their expectations were realised in one
sense. Both were desperately wounded.
The new Spanish Government has attempted one great
reform since its accession, and so far its efforts have proved
successful. It has cleared the Spanish capital of beggars.
Of all the cities of Europe Madrid was the most grievously
afflicted with this plague. The hideous spectacle of
mendicity of all ages and of all degrees, and of deformity,
met the eye at every step. A grand depot of mendicity
has been formed, and was inaugurated by Regent Serrano
on the 25th. Not a beggar is now to be seen.

A few more amendments to the bill for the disestablish-
ment of the Irish Church have been placed on the notice-
paper, but the major part of them only deal with matters
of detail, and do not aim at any of the vital principles of
the bill. The only one of any importance will he moved
by Lord CAIRNS, who will endeavour to strike
out from the preamble the proviso that the surplus
shall not be used for the teaching of religion. In addi-
tion to this, he proposes to omit the sub-section of
the preamble to the effect that the proceeds of
the property "shall be appropriated mainly to the
relief of unavoidable calamity and suffering." Instead
thereof he intends to move that the surplus shall he ap-
plied in such manner as Parliament shall hereafter
direct.

Lord O'NElLL—After Clause 27, to move to insert the
following :—" That ecclesiastical residences, with land
attached amounting to ten acres at the least, be provided
for the beneficed clergymen in parishes where no such
residences now exist."

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AND SIR R.

.ANSTRUIIIER, M.P.

Some Leeds cock-fighters have been sentenced to

Mr. Uraufurd has given timely notice that next
session ho will call attention to the operation of the Parlia-
mentary Elections Act, 18G8.
The Guardian states that the Rev. Dr. Vaughan,
vicar of Doncaster, has been appointed Master of the
Temple.
The Gu'trdian announces the death of the Rev.
Edward Griswell, Senior Fellow and Vice-President of
Corpus Cliristi College, Oxford.
A penalty of £2O was inflicted by the Lord
Mayor on Wednesday on Mr. M'Cullurn, gunpowder manu-
facturer, who pleaded guilty before the Lord Mayor of
sending gunpowder by rail without proper description.

The London correspondent of the 3lttchester Guardian is
responsible for the statement which follows: -It was cir
cumqantially stated last night at several of tLe clubs that
the Duke of Cambridge had taken so much am!ss some
casual observations made upon Horse Guards mismanage-
ment by Sir Hobert Anstruther, in the sort of conver-
sational debate in the House of Commons ou Friday night
regarding the review at Windsor, that he authorised a com-
munication to be made to the hon. baronet, in the course of
yesterday. To-day we hoar that another member of the royal
familyhasintimated to the member for Fi'eshire that the duke
is offended, and that the visit of one cf his staff to Sir Robert's
residence was with a view to demand an explanation.
The honourable and gallant baronet, who served with
honour in the Crimean war, was from home, and no fur-
ther communication has since been made. In all pro-
bability there will be none ; for the words complained of, as
they aro reported, appear to be no more than a general
sarcasm at the inefficiency of the Horse Guards, and the ex-
pression of wonder, not that the escort was late which was
sent to await the arrival of the Viceroy at the railway sta-
tion, but "that any escort Was ever in time,"

THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY

MOVEMENI.

On Wednesday a meeting of the Ladies' Committee
for the promotion of the Saturday half-holiday
by not shopping after two o'clock on Saturday was
held in the metropolis, Earl Grosvenor, M.P., pre-
siding. Amongst those present were the Duchess of
Sutherland, Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lady Elcho, the
Earl and Countess of March, Lady and Miss Hogg,
the Hon. Mrs. Maberly, Miss Marsh, &c. It appeared
from the report that the Ladies' Committee have obtained
pledges of co-operation from more than 2,500 ladies in
London and its suburbs, representing . probably some
10,000 persons. Besides athletic sports, volunteer exer-
cises, rowing and cricket clubs, field excursion clubs for
botanical and geological purposes have been formed as a
consequence of the Saturday half-holiday. It appears that
clubs have also been formed in many large houses of
business for the microscopical study of nature. In one
case ninety employs had formed themselves into a
society for this purpose.—Earl Grosvenor briefly stated
the object of the meeting, and invited the ladies who were
favourable to it not to relax in their efforts, but to perse-
vere till they induced those shopkeepers who kept their shops
open to a late hour to join in a movement which
bad been so productive of good to the employed without
doing any injury to the employers.—Mr. M`Gregor (Rob
Roy) moved the following resolution :—" That the
report be adopted, and that the meeting received
with great satisfaction the testimonials of the employers
with regard to the working of the Saturday half-holiday
in the retail trades, and pledge themselves to obtain
further co-operation in aid of the movement." Dr. Farr
seconded the resolution, and bore testimony to the good
effects of the movement in promoting the health of the
employ6s. The resolution was further enforced by Dr.
Cumming, and adopted.

The select committee of the House of Commons
appointed to inquire into the expenses attending the Abys-
sinian Expedition have held a preliminary meeting, at which
Mr. Candlish was chosen chairman.

A number of volunteers arrived at Wimbledon
from various parts of the country on 'Wednesday to 11141 w
the arrangements necessary for the camping of the regi-
ments they represent. The camp is now nearly formed. It
will be ready for occupation on Saturday, and the shooting
will commence on Monday.

Mr. Peek has given notice that to. day (Thurs-

rated by a considerable distarce.

regret at the ,stringency of the laws with reference to the
observance of the Sunday; and announced his couyicton
that nothing was SO likely to promote the moral and social
improvement of the people as a game at cricket or football
after they had been to Mass.

A meeting of the guardians of the metropolitan
unions was held on Wednesday iu the Sessions House, West-
minster, to consider the question of emigration and
a memorial to the President of the Poor-law Board
The chair was taken by Lot d Alfred Churchill, and among

ton, Colonel Torrons, M.P., Mr. Holms, M.P., the
Rev. J. P. Ditto, Dr. Stallard, Mr. W. IL Smith, M.P., Mr.
Talbot, Dr. Smiles, Mr. Ogilvy, and representatives of the
various metropolitan boards.

A velocipede accident, which it is feared will be
fatal— and if so it will be the first of the kind —is reported
from Liverpool. On Tuesday a young man named Edwardes
was riding down Bootle Mount on a bicycle at a rapid rate.
He lost his control over the machine, and it ran with great
force against a low stone wall, against which Mr. Edwardes
was pitched Lead ft,remost. His skull was fractured, aml ft
is feared that ho will not recover.

An accident, happily unattended with any serious
consequences, occurred on Tuesday to thp SODS of the Viceroy
of Egypt, uu their return from the Crystal palace. It appears
that the -carriage of the latter was proceeding along the near
side of the road of Half-Moon-lane, Dulwich, followod by
Viat of the Prince of Wales, whose carriage, in endeavour-
ing to pass, came in contact with that of the Viceroy's sop,
and completely overturned it, Fortunately the occu-
pants of the carriage were extricated unhurt, save a good
shaking, but the coachman sustained severe bruises. The
Egyptian princes were taken into the carriago of the Prince
of Wales.

TIIE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. —There is time
even now for the season to prove a good one as respects all
staple products of the land, provided only that the sun
will shine, •and, with the aid of softer winds than have
blown over us for a long time past, bring the fruits of the
earth to perfection. The wheat crop must be a thin one,
comparatively speaking, even should the weather from
this time be all that we could wish. Barley, oats, and
beans may be good ; there is, at all events, time for them,
with the aid of sunshine.— The Gardener's Magazine.
BLACK LEAD ASA LUBRICATOR FORMACIIINERY.
Black lead has only been used as a lubricator for wooden
machinery, from the heaviest vehicle to the most delicate
watcliwork, so dispensing with the use of oils and grease
of all kinds. Ws are not yet informed of the manner in
which the plumbago is employed, but if it can be success-
fully applied to railway carriages, a great saving to the
companies will be effected. It is said to be used with
many vehicles in Paris, and in machinery in several
factories, and seems to give satisfaction.—Mechanics'
Magazine.

THE TONIC SOL-FA SYSTEM. the Society of
Arts musical examination the papers may be worked
either in ordinary or tonic sol-fa notation, the tonic sol-
faists giving the prizes. Only three out of thess certificates
are, however, awarded to other than tonic sol-faists. The
certificates are records of a positive, and not comparative,
attainment. In Mr. John Hullah's examination in the
theory of music, conducted strictly in ordinary notation,
both the prizemen and half those obtaining first-class cer-
tificates are pupils of tonic sol-fa teachers. This is the
third year that both the prizes have thus gone.
THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.—The annual
meeting of this association has been held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, Mr. H. J. Sla nresidir ;,,
avoidable-esirrilor of-M..)8111.1a IV al Insley. The chairman,
in moving the adoption of the report and the appoint.
ment of the council and officers for the ensuing year,
drew attention to the report read at the meeting of the
Lord's Day Rest Association, held on the previous
evening, which report set forth the number of petitions
presented to Parliament against the objects of the Sunday
League ; but the analysis of that report only convinced
him that ignorance from remote quarters had been
brought to hear upon a most important central question.
It was remarkable that only one large city had presented
a petition against the opening of the museums on Sunday.
That was Liverpool ; and there were hardly 300 signa-
tures to it. Mr. Taylor seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted. The meeting closed with a vote of
thanks to the chairman and secretary.

The Manchester Examiner repots that an outrage
was perpetrated the other night at the brickfield
of Mr. Bradbury, Bury New-road, which calls to
mind some of the proceeedings attributed to
unionists, and brought to light during the in-
quiry by the Trade Commissioners in Manchester. About
21,000 bricks, which had been stacked in Mr. Bradbury's
yard, were thrown down, and ti, is malicious proceeding is natu-
rally connected with the factthat Mr. Bradbury has a difference
with his men, in consequence of the part he has taken In
the disputes in the building trades, having declined to
supply bricks to the masters who have adopted the hour
system.

MR. SPURGEON ON INFANT SALVATION.-11l
recent discussion on Christianity between Mr. Linscott.
a member of the Bible Defence Associati-sm, and Mr.
Antill, of Judd-street, it vas asserted by the impugner of
Christianity that the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon had declared
that " there are infants in hell a span long." Mr. Linscott
having disputed the assertion, wrote to Mr. Spurgeon for
his authority to contradict the statement, and his letter
has elicited the following reply:—" Newington, S.F., June
1569. Dear Sir,—l have never at any time in my life
said, believed, or imagined than any infant, under any
circumstances, would be cast into hell. I hay,'
always believed in the salvation of all infants, and I
intensely detest the opinions which your opponent dared
to attribute to me. Ido not believe that on this earth
there is a single professing Christian holding the damna•
tion of infants, or if there be he must be insane, or utterly
ignorant of Christianity. I am obliged by this opportunity
of denying the calumny, although the author of it will
probably find no difficulty in inventing some other fiction
to be affirmed as unblushingly as the present one, He
who doubts God's Word is naturally much at home in
