BIRMINGHAM.

A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held in Bir-
mingham, on Tuesday, in the Town Hall, Lord Harrowby
presiding, in opposition to Mr. Gladstone's bill for the dis-
establishment and disendowment of the Irish Church.
Lord Harrowby said Mr. Gladstone's measures would be
a breach of national faith with the Irish Protestants, who
were sent into an enemy's country with a pledge that they
should have the comfort of a national Protestant Church ;
and in the name of liberty and equality it would give predo-
minance to a Church which anathematises both liberty
an equality. Ho deprecated the system of coaxing
Romanism in Ireland ; a system which was extending to
this country, so that we could not speak of Romanism
above our breath, or else a hostile mob was threatened,
and the Home Secretary searched out an obsolete statute
to stifle discussion.

Mr. Sampson S. Lloyd, the Conservative candidate for
Birmingham at the late election, moved the first resolu-
tion, which wns as follows :--" That the bill to put an
end to the establishment of the Church in Ireland involves
a violation of the Act of Union, an attack upon the
security of property, and a renunciation cf the principle
that the Government of the United Kingdom is Protestant;
and that the House of Lords will consult the best interests
of the country by rejecting it." He said that IZumanism
was already too strong fur good government here and
in Ireland, and he called upon the English people to
'make a stand-'in tirne- The Church question lay at the
root of liberty, enlightenment, rnd progress.

Mr.. Nemlegate, M.P., who seconded the motion, said
if the property of minorities was to be confiscated, let the
Romanists in England look out, for England did not love
monasteries and convents; and if Romanists in their pride
supposed they could rob a Protestant minority in Ireland
let them not look for security for their monastic property
in England.

The motion was supported by the Rev. Brewin Grant,
M.A., and carried unanimously.
Dr. Sebastian Evans moved : "That a petition be at
once drawn up praying their lordships to reject the bill."
Mr. W. T. Charley, M.P., seconded this, and it was
supported by Mr. J. C. S. Fremantle and the Rev. C
Mallon, M.A., and agreed to.

TWO-YEAR-OLD RACES.

A very long letter appears in the Times, now on
the eve of the Derby, signed by Sir Joseph Hawley
and Mr. Henry Chaplin, directed specially against
two-year-old racing. The letter sets forth that
two-year-old racing, as at present conducted, is
leading to premature training and premature old age,
to short courses and the degeneration of the Turf; and
it goes on to argue that it is the duty of the Jockey Club
to step in and prevent theseraces on the grounds over
which it has power. The arguments against the pro-
posed change are that the frequency of race-meetings
shews the healthy state of the sport; that breedhs
and owners will be injured; that the owner has a
right to do as he likes with his own ; that the Jockey
Club has no power over all races. The two corre-
spondents of the Times deny that the sport is healthy.
Local meetings are often paid for by the admission
fees charged to non-betting men. The horses are
by no means healthy and good. Many of the
foals break clown altogether, and the staying
power of others is open to question. Breeders
perhaps may suffer a little, but not owners. The
latter will only be compelled to reserve their horses.
Owners may not do as they lil:e with their own,
if what they do is calculated to be generally hurtful.
And though the Jockey Club has not power over all
races, its example is generally followed, and it is its
duty to set one which will be really a public
benefit.

Information from several trustworthy sources leaves
DJ doubt that President Grant's Ministry have deter-
mined to give neither aid nor recognition to the Cuban
insurgents. But it does- not appear that this policy was
very eagerly embraced. According to the Philadelphia
Public Leaver, a Cabinet Council was held on May llth, and
a strong party of Ministerswasinfavonrof recognising tl;e
Cubans. But this policy was rejected. The Government are
in receipt of information that the Cuban insurgents are not
making any headway, and that but little remains of the
Cuban force except detached parties, acting as guerrillas.
This kind of warfare, it is said, may last for some time,
but the Spanish army expects to put an end to the insur-
rection soon. This information is given, not by the
Spaniards, but by an American' agent specially seht over
to Cuba, and may, therefore, be regarded as decisive.

s THE LUXEMBURG FORTIFICATIONS.

The vigorous representations of the Prussian Govern-
ment have produced a salutary effect upon the dilatory
municipality of Luxemburg. The conference held at
London on the Luxemburg question in May 1867 decided
that the fortifications of the city should be destroyed.
The local authorities accordingly commenced the work of
demolition ; but the rate of progress was so slow that the
whole cost involved is said to have been not more than
thirty shillings-a-week Prussian protests have, however,
materially accelerated this pace. A very large bastion,
commenced in 1556, and not finished until 1697, has just
been blown up. The task of destroying this historical
fortification, with walls twenty feet in thickness, was both
difficult and dangerous, but it has been accomplished
without accident.

THE FALLACY OF EXA7.ILNATIONS.

"An Assistant Master"
.writes a letter to the
Times with the above heading, and condemns the
present system of university local examinations.
He says that the effect of them is to induce the
masters to cram a few boys, and to neglect the
rest. The examination thus becomes merely a test
of the boy's proficiency, not of the school teaching as
a whole. This, however, is something gained ; it is
something to the purpose that ten, or even two, per
cent. of a school should submit to a test. But "An
Assistant Master " is no doubt right when he suggests
that the proper kind of test would be an examination
of the whole school. It was impossible to obtain
this at the outset of the examination move-
ment. Those who suggested it were denounced
as inquisitor, and generally as objectionable
characters. But gradually the schoolmasters have
been educated up to this point. There is now little
reason to doubt that before long the recommenda-
tions of the loyal Commission on Middle Class
Education will be carried out, and that most of the
schools in the kingdom will voluntarily submit them-
selves to inspection by competent examiners.

THE TORNADO CASE.

What will the Government do about the Tornado
case ? It is many months since the present Attorney-
General, then out of office, asked Lord Stanley this
question, and urged active measures if the Spanish
Government would not grant a new trial. Sir
Robert Collier is now in office; the offence he com-
plained of has been aggravated by still further
delays. Is he prepared to recommend his political
friends to take the same course as he recom-
mended to his political opponents ? Lord
Stanley settled the matter with regard to
the Victoria by letting the Mediterranean squadron
steam from Malta to Gibraltar, and of course by the
most undesigned coincidence in the world, Queen
Isabella's Government gave us the satisfaction we
asked. Is the Prim-Serrano Government open to
the same kind of argument ? and is the chief law
adviser of the Crown prepared to counsel out.
Government to try it ? What, too, is this we Le a
about Sir John Crampton? A fortnight ago t'ie
Owl stated that he had " resigned." The Madrid
correspondent of the Morning Star, who has all
along been particularly well informed, says there is a
rumour that our Minister has been " recalled," but
the sews is aim'est too good to be true. Clearly
there Is need of some decisive action ou our part,
either diplomatic or naval.

TIM PRINCE OF WALES.

According to the Irish Ti»zes, the Queen has placed
at the disposal of the Prince of Wales services of
gold and silver plate suitable for royal entertain-
ments, and from her private purse has increased his
income by -LlO,OOO a year. This is said to be due to a
division in the Cabinet in reference to the proposal
of an application to Parliament for such a purpose.
It is added that Mr. Bright declared his dissent,
unless accompanied by an equivalent reduction in the
allowance to the Crown. The story is evidently one
of the class called "shrewd guesses."

The iVene F, ie Prase of Vienna states that the Queen

favour of peace, and are now engaged in attempt•
ing to bring about a better understanding between
the Powers of Central Europe. An interview between
the sovereigns of France, Prussia, and Austria is not im-
probable. Negotiations have been opened for this purpose,
but Count Bismarck will not countenance the projects
unless the Emperor Napoleon take part in it. This news
is satisfactory ,enough, but the special necessity for such
an interview is not at all apparent. Recent events in
Italy are disquieting ; but on the whole the situation is
snore peaceful than at any previous time during the last
three years.

THE MURDER IN SUSSEX.

The Sussex Advertiser gives the following additional
particulars relative to the shocking occurrence reported
yesterday :—" Information having at once been given to
the police, Superintendent Jenner sent to the different
police•stations, so that in a very short some 200 persons
were scouring the neighbourhood in search of Stubberfield.
Men from Ashburnham House brought a boat and dragged
the ponds, and it was not till the afternoon that he was
found, and then he was making his way from
Cowden Farm towards home. It is supposed that
he had secreted himself in a pit where there
was water, and that he had tried to drown himself,
for when taken he was completely saturated with wet and
covered with mud. The police took him to the farm to
change his clothes. He was then taken to Battle, where
be remains at present under the charge of the superinten-
dent ; he is exceedingly quiet, and cannot give any other
reason for the deed than that he felt compelled to do it.
He said he 'loved her so much that he did not like to
leave her behind, but now he would give the world to
have her back again.' He also states that he attempted
to drown himself several times, but could not
do so, for he always floated on the top of the
water. The prisoner's father stated that come
twelve or eighteen months ago lie met with a very serious
fall ; he 'was on the top of a ladder some 20 or 25 feet
high, cutting a very high hedge, and ho fell backwards,
falling on his head. He lay senseless for some time, and
not coming in to dinner his mother went out just as he
had come to. They advised a doctor should be sent for,
and that he should be bled ; but Jeremiah would not have
a doctor, and they date his insanity from that time.
His father and mother, and the poor wife's father, visited
him on 'Monday morning, the interview being a most
painful one."

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, On first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of tee
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged -
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
Tho Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain tb,..m.

EMIGRATION AND STDIKES.

According to the Lord Mayor's Committee, the
British public, who formerly paid so willingly for
the drafting of workmen to other countries, is
becoming more cautious, and does not pay so readily
as it did. The Government, however, is going to
provide, at least, in part for the dockyard emigrants,
and so the large number of departures from this
country will probably continue. The strikes, too—
Preston especially—are swelling the list of the out-
ward bound. Another strike has commenced at
Liverpool. The men object to the hour system,
which the masters insist upon. They have, there-
fore, turned out. This will, probably, if not spoedily
adjusted, bring money to the pockets of the erligra-
tion agents.

OMAGH'.

A crowded meeting of Presbyterians was held on Tues-
day in the largest of their churches in Omagh. About
1,500 attended. It was addressed by the chairman, Mr.
Greer (Crown solicitor), the Rev. Messrs. Hanna,
Mitchell, Donnell, Dill, Smith, Lyle, Gilmore, and
others. Resolutions were passed expressing unqualified
disapprobation of the bill, repudiating the statement that
Presbyterians were favourable to it, and calling on the
Lords to reject or amend it.
London, England, 1869-05-26

CHURCHWARDENS' FEES.

Churchwardens are now beginning to regard
church rates as virtually abolished, and as a conse-
quence they are resisting all the legal taxes upon
them. "We have no fund," they say, " except a
voluntary one, from which to draw; the taxes upon
us, therefore, must be made voluntary also."
The Rev. Mr. Laws, the Chancellor of the
Diocese of Lichfield, has appealed to the
Primate of all England to help him. Church
rates being abolished, churchwardens will not pay the
diocesan fees. Diocesan officers will be minus their
salaries if some provision be not made. The Arch-
bishop cannot help Mr. Laws much. Church
rates are not really abolished, he points out, though
not to Mr. Laws's satisfaction. He would be glad if
the payments to officials could be made without fees,
but suggests nothing. Mr. Laws suggests that the
payment of the fees by the churchwardens on their
admission to office shall henceforward be voluntary,
and that any loss sustained by the officers of the.
Diocesan Courts through their non-payment shall be
compensated by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Will Parliament agree to this?

QUIET IN EASTERN EUIVTE.

The intelligence from the East of Europe is of a very
pacific character. The Pafrie states that not a single
Cretan family remains in Greece, and that the greatest
tranquillity prevails throughout King George's dominions.
In Crete grim-visaged war has so effectually smoothed his
wrinkled front that the Porte has withdrawn nearly the
whole of its troops from the island. From Roumania the
news is not less reassuring. Bratiano, late the Chief
Minister, and the leader of the agitation party, is so dis-
couraged by the reaction against him that he lots resolved
to take no part in the parliamentary proceedings. He
projects a tour of several months' duration.
London, England, 1869-05-26

SPAIN.

Further details of the Carlist conspiracy at Barcelona
by no means tend to diminish the gravity of the earlier
reports. More than one hundred persons have been
arrested. Amongst these are two colonels, several
commandants and subordinate army officers, a prebendary
of the cathedral, and twelve priests. Divers important
and compromising documents have been found, one of
them hinting darkly at the assassination of Espartero. A.
junta had been nominated beforehand to take the direc.
tion of affairs, if the movement succeeded. All these
functionaries in posse have been arrested.
It is noteworthy that the Republican deputies in the
Cortes who threatened to withdraw if the monarchy were
voted still keep their seats. This change of purpose is
owing to a declaration made by the representatives of the
majority, that the Republicans should enjoy under the
Monarchy the full right of discussion and propagation
accorded to all other opinions. The new Constitution
does undoubtedly preserve on paper the most complete
freedom of speech and pen. What the Republicans could
hope to gain by withdrawing from the Legislature, except
by attempting another :evolution, it is impossible to
imagine.

ULSTER AND THE IRISH CHURCH DILL.

The Orangemen have made up their differences.
The Orange democrats and the Conservative Pro-
testants have joined hands, in order to protest
against the disendowment and disestablishment of
the Irish Protestant Church. The Presbyterians
also have joined with the Episcopalians, though it is
difficult to see what locus standi the first have, con-
sidering that they will receive au adequate compen-
sation for the annual grant now made to them under
the name of the Ittgium Donum. Anyhow, the
union and the protest arc rather late. If they had
taken place two months ago the Opposition in the
House of Commons might have received an
encouragement which they sorely needed. But
repeated adverse majorities of over 100 have taken
the heart out of them. It is to be presumed that
these Ulster protests are intended to embolden the
Peers to throw out the bill.

TILE ELECTION PETITIONS.

Baron Martin and Justices Blackburn and
Willes are to be congratulated. When they under-
took to try the election petitions they had 111 of
them to go through. Fifty-nine Liberals and 52
Conservatives cases were attacked ; and to the
adjudication of these, not without some protests and a
great many grumblings, they set themselves. They
were, however, speedily relieved of 44, for 24
Conservative petitions against Liberals and
20 Liberal petitions against Conservatives—were
withdrawn without being brought before a court.
The Dady News gives a I;st of the members seated
and unseated by the judges. The Liberals declared
duly elected number 24, the Conservatives 17. Nine
Liberals hike been unseated and 13 Conservatives.
B.sides these there were four special cases. Sir
Sidney Waterlow (Liberal) was unseated, and was
supplante 1 by Major Walker; Mr. 13irley's seat at
Manchester was declared good ; Mr. Hamilton at
Salisbury was duly elected; and Mr. Devereux was
reelected for Wexford after being turned out on
account of an informality on the part of the returning
officer. Against the gain of a Conservative seat in
Dumfriesshire, the Liberals are enabled to shew the
substitution of Mr. Miall for Mr. Ripley at Bradford ;
Lord Hyde for Mr. Gwyn at Brecon ; Major Anson
for Mr. Cunliffe at Bewdley ; and Mr. Henry James
for Mr. Serjeant Cox at Taunton. In the case of
the double return at Horsham the Conservative
withdrew, and left the seat to Mr. Hurst, the former
Liberal member.

CONSCIENCE MONEY.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledges
the receipt of from' W. It' on account of income
tax ; and also of £11:0, ' conscience - money.'"
" Conscience money ! " and in the Derby week !
Was such a payment ever made before at such a
time ? Here is a gentleman who has for several years,
we presume, been in the habit of returning his income
probably at one-half or one-third of its real amount.
Suddenly smitten with the conviction that
it is as wrong to make a false return
to the tax-collector as it is to make a
false staiemmt in a Court of Justice, that
it is as wrong to cheat the Crown as it is to cheat a
private perzon, he chooses this very week of all
the year, when the temptation to squander money is
most powerful, in order to make restitution. Has he
heard a Low Church sermon which pricked his con-
science? or his he been to a high Church priest for
confession, and been told that there can be no
absolution without restitution ? Whatever be the
cause, the phenomenon is worth noting. It is a
hopeful sign that even in these days of " specs" and
" plunging " honour and honesty are not wholly lost.
