'TEMP.

The John BuY says that the LaVn speech which
Archdeacon Denison will make on Tu(sd:,y, in pre-i
senting the Prolocutor of Convocation to the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, will contain an allusion to all
the leading cluestions of the day, pointing out how
the Church of England is to be subverted fur .the
honour and enLrgement of the Roman Church, and
dealing with the need of an increase of the Episco-
pate, with the Eitttal question, and with that of the
Court of Appeal, in a masterly but most temperate
manner.—The san:e paper mentions that in all pro-
bability an attack will be made upon the cathedral
-sysi.ein by a distinguished member of the Liberal
party.—Thrc,ugheut the dioceFie of Oxford altar-
lights have ceased to be barnt.—The Bishop-
r.'gn .te, of Lincoln V ill reside in his cathedral
T'ishop of 1:onolnlu is just about to start
fur Jiocue, aLd will receive a corrinission to
visit on 11:s way the consuhr and oiler chapLincies
in British South America.— It is reported that
the Colmi:.,l Ilishepri-s Council intend to found a
bishopric for the Falkland Islands, and another,
pr3bAly, at Lima or Coquimbo, which would, we
presume, displease High churchmen as much as the
bishopric of Jerusalem.

The Roman Catlmlic pipers are greatly cxeC-.C..ed
by Mr. Ffoulkes's pamphlet. The freckly /?cwis er
has declared that no priest would think of giving
Mr. Honlkes absolution or administering the sacra-
ment. Sir George Bowyer writes to the same paper
with regard to one of the points taken up by Mr.
I foulkes—the forged decretalsof Isidore—and admit-
ting that they were false, urges th t the poxers which
f.:ey were supposed to confer can be abundantly
proved without them.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SIIOEBLACKS AND THE PUBLIC.—Four dirty-looking
fellows, named Flynn, Haddock, Cummins, and Ryan,
were charged before Blansti,ld with cattAng an obAruc-
tion with th,irboxes in Compton-street, Soho.

Sergeant Jeffrey, 21 C, proved seeing the prisoners in
Compton-street yesterday morning. along with several
others, causing such au obstruction with their boxes that
persons passing had to walk in the road to avoid them,
and he then took the prisoners into custody, the others
running away. Some of the persons connected with the
parish were here to speak of the nuisance they suffered
from the prisoners and their companions.
Mr. Joseph Purkes, publisher, of No. 60, Dean-street,
Soho, said that he experienced great annoyance every Sun-
day from the shooblacks, who collected in front of his
shop —there generally being about ten of them there, with
their boxes, every Sunday morning. Ile had cautioned
them several times, but they took no notice, and were in
the habit of placing their boxes close against his shop, and
the persons who had their boots cleaned bumped against
his shutters.

In answer to Mr. Mansfield,
Mr. Purkes said that he had frequently seen the pri-
soners engaged there.
_ _

Mr. Mao field told the prisoners that they wero charged
with blocking up the footpath and compelling persons to
go into the road.

Mr. Purkes said he endured the nusiance for two years.
Mr. Mansfield asked if all the lads were as dirty rs the
prisoner, and on being answered in the affirmative, said
that that was a nuies.uce in itself to have to go along the
footpath and push against such persons.
Mr. Aylett, of the Admiral Duncan Tavern, Compton-
street, was also present to speak of the nuisance.
Mr. Mansfield said the prisoners had been locked up 20
hours, which served them right. If the prisoners came
again they would be severely punished. Ho hoped the
imprisonment they had undergone would have the effect
of teaching them to have some little consideration for per-
sons walking along the footpath, and compel them to go
into the road.

ELLNBIZAL OF YR. .EANEST JOINTES

On Saturday afternoon the mortal remains of Mr.
Ernest Jones were consigned to their last resting-place in
Ardwick Cemetery, Hyde-road, Manchester, and the occa•
sion was taken advantage of by themembers of the Reform
League to have a large public demonstration. The work-
ing classes in particular were exceedingly assiduous to do
honour to the memory of the deceased ; and accordingly
an opportunity was afforded them to attend the funeral.
Shortly after two o'clock in the afternoon the public
streets of Manchester through which the procession was to
pass were so densely thronged that the traffic was stopped
for a considerable time. The route of the procession was by
way of Wellington-street, Broughton (where the deceased
resided), Bury New-road, Strangeways, Victoria-street,
Market-street, and London-road to Ardwick Cemetery.
Those who were specially invited to attend the funeral met
near the house of the deceased, and many of Mr. Jones's
near friends were allowed to see him before the coffin-lid
was fastened down. The members of the Reform League,
musting over 1,200, and deputations from London and
nearly all the large towns in the northern and midland
counties, assembled in front of the Assize Courts, and
afterwards marched in procession to Wellington-street.
The following gentlemen were the pall-bearers :—Sir
Elkanali Armitage, Mr. Jacob Bright, M.P., Mr. T. B.
Potter, M.P., Alderman A. Heywood, Mr. H. M. Stein-
thal, Mr. F. Taylor, Mr. Elijah Dixon, Mr. H. Rawson,
Mr. Edward Hooson (president of the Northern] Branch
of the Reform League), Mr. James Crossley, and Mr.
Charles Bazley. Mr. Edmond Beales, M,A., delivered a
funeral oration over the grave.

and may be issued to night. It appears strange that two
companies should ooze at one and the same time, to ci.u-
tend for the telegraphic traffic to the East, but the
commercial world have every reason to congratulate
theniel-,•es on the result. Assoon as the linesare completed
to Bombay, it is understood to be the intention of the
directors to extend the communication to Anstraha and
New Zealand. The latter colonies have for some time
been labouring under the want of more

THE MOTHER, COUNTRY AND HER COLONIEF.

The attitude taken up by the Royal Colonial
Society is stoutly opposed by Sir Francis B. Head,
who sends to the Tines his opinion of the course
adopted by the British overnment towards the Cana-
dian Dominion. She surrendered to a handful of
colonists not only lands, lakes, rivers, railways,
canals, public works, clergy reserves, &c., held
in sacred trust for the British people,
but also resolved that her colonial possessions, instead
of being remunerative, should to a very large
amount be made worth less than nothing. She
encouraged the North American colonists to borrow
about twenty millions sterling, binding herseii to
pay it in the event of the borrowers becoming
defaulters, and in the List session of Parliament an
kct was passed guaranteeing the purchase money
(I:300,000) of the Hudson's Bay Territory. Sir Francis,
speaking of the future, declares that the inhabitants of
the Canadian Dominion and of Australia have over••
reached themselves, and must now pay the usual
penalty inflicted upon every greedy boy who swal-
lows more than he can digest. They have obtained,
not only honest possession of all that belonged to
themselves, but unfair possession of all that belonged
to the British nation, whom they have, moreover,
made answerable for their debts. And now they
demand, not that England should (by a lease
Crotect them, but they are undecided whe •
her they shall exercise self-government by
becoming a free and independent nation,
n: whether they will subserviently join the con-
federacy of some great foreign nation. The Eng-
lish people, like landlords keeping in repair extensive
premises for which they receive no rent, nre to live
on the brink of a sudden war that might utterly
ruin them, simply to defend a people whose allegiance
at any moment, with or without notice, can be
terminated. The writer concludes by submitting
that the " total independence- of any or our couJii:,-.
should be simultaneously accompanied by a total
cessation of protection by the British empire.

THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.

Land and Traterwas sanguine on the great sub-
ject of grouse, but is somewhat desponding touching
the not less important matter of partridges.
Last year was an unusually good one,
This season the stock of birds will fall
short. Pairs of old birds without any young ones
are by far too plentiful to augur well for any great
abundance, and smallr broods, even twos and threes,
are common. the weather was extremely cold
during the hatching season, and it is said that the
larvre of various insects, upon which the partridge
feeds, were remarkably scarce. But in some districts
birds are more abundant, and, as the root crops are
everywhere good, promising excellent cover, things
may perhaps not turn out so badly after all.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE POPULATION Or CANADA.

The Toronto Telegraph totally denies the statement
hat the population of Canada is being thinned by emi-
ration to the United States. On the contrary, it affirms
hat there have been larger accessions to the population of
he colony this season than there have been for the last
wenty years. The Canadians show little disposition to
migrate, and the desire for annexation is completely
xtiniuished.

PAIM,ESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered 'useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities: These teeth ❑ever change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied—and
youthful appearance restored - mastication and articulation
gearanteed. The "Times" of March C says : - "So good
an imitation becomes the next best thing to tbe original."
Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation
free.—Only address, 312, Regent-stre t, exactly facing the
Royal Polytechnic.

POLICE-COURT DEP: i‘TIONS.

The Solicitors' Jounial has had its attention drawn
to a discussion of some importance in its bearings
on the formula of our police-courts, on the question
whether it is sufficient that a committing magistrate
should sign depositions once for all at the end of the
whole of them, or ought to sign the deposition of
each witness separately. Attempts to overthrow the de-
cision of magistrates are being made on this point.
Mr. Oke, the chief clerk to the Lord Mayor of
London, gives an argument in its columns with
which the Journal thoroughly agrees, and in which
it is contended that once is enough to sign ; the
statute requires no more.
BRAN FOR BABIES.

The Lancet, the leading medical journal, anti not
one given to the adoption of novelties without con-
sideration, has a rather remarkable article calling
attention to. the practicability of using bran for the
cradles, or rather the lusts, of new-born babies.
Our contemporary is assured by mothers who have
tried the new system—its supporters, by the way,
will not allow that the system is new—that it
answers admirably. The plan. of action is as
follows :—An ordinary cradle is filled v,-ith common
bran. A hair pillow is put in, and then the bran is
moved aside -with the hands until a " hollow is
formed the size of the child's body. The infant,
divested of everything below the waist, and having
a little bodice or cape above that, is then placed
in the bran, and its body completely
covered with it, exactly as may be seen at the sea-
side, where children play at burying one another in
the sand. A light coverlet or counterpane is finally
placed above all, and baby is in bed for the night.
This method is pursued from almost as soon as
infants are born until they are eight or ten months
old. The children, it is stated, do not kick them-
selves outside the bran unless it be very hot. The
b
plan is cleanly, as ran abzurbb fluid readily, and the
wet sinks below the dry. The heat around the baby
is eeuable, and of sufficient temperature. An entirely
new supply of bran is required once a fortnight,

PRE 'iIDENT GRANT.

The Spectatcr calls attention to the gradual
decline of President Grant in Americm opinion.
Why this should be it is not easy to say; the
General is very lenient to the Conservat:ves, but that
may be wise ; he has failed to oust the politicians by
trade, but that may not be his fault ; and he writes
rather indiscreet letters, but the letters are sound
enough in principle. Whatever may be the reason,
it is certain that both parties are beginning to regard
the new President with something like contempt.

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The directors of the Albert Assurance Company
have not discredited their City brethren in
point of audacity. They have put forth for the
" reconstruction of the office" a proposal which
has met with condemnation on every hand.
The scheme is in brief as follows :—The policy-
holders are to agree to a reduction of their policies of
from 40 to 5 per cent., an average of 25 per cent. on
all. The premiums are to remain the same. These
reconstructed policies are to be handed over to a
new company, to be formed out of the old share-
holders and the policy-holders. Eighty per cent. of
the profits arc to be given to the new holders, and
20 per cent. to the shareholders. The policy-holders
are to give up a quarter of their due, become
shareholders, and incur all the attendant risks,
and yet the old shareholders are to have full
exemption and part of the profits. Some of the
gravest of our contemporaries forget their custo-
mary equanimity at this proposition. The Spectator
ad, -se; the policy-holders to " hunt " the directors
tln u, ; every court in the kingdom, and to tear up
their policies rather than submit to such a transac-
tion. The Economist says it will be better for all
concerned to " cut their loss " and make the best they
can of matters by insuring elsewhere.

TUE TRADES 'UNION CONGRESS.
A discussion on industrial partnerships at the Trades
Union Congress terminated in a resolution support-
ing the principle. The meeting was of opinion
" that copartnerships of industry will considcrab;y
improve the industrial relations between employers
and employed, and are, therefore, worthy of general
adoption ; also, that nothing short of co-operative
production applied to manufactures and land can be
accepted as a cure for the conflicting interests of
labour and capital." But so long as those interests
remain antagonistic, the working men assembled
at Birmingham think that their class ought
to unite more closely for protection. Primary edu-
cation came next under consideration, and it was Vie
subject of a severe debate. At last a resolution in
favour of " national, sectarian, and compulsory
education " was passed.

POLICE L.NTELLIGENCE.-71.is Day.

130 W-STREET.

CAPTURE OF A DEALER IN COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Robert
Kane was placed at the bar charged with having a large
quantity of counterfeit coin in his possession.
Inspector Brennan, of the F division, and Sergeant
Kerley, had for some time been in search of the prisoner,
but latterly he had made his appearance in Seven-dials
and very shortly after his appearance in that locality ho
was taken into custody by the officers mentioned, and
when apprehended he had no less than 61 counterfeit
half-crowns upon his person.
Mr. Brennan, son., the officer attached to the Mint, said
the prisoner was known in London amongst "the trade'
as the Scotch agent; he had lately returned flora Edin-
burgh, his visit to which place had doubtless been con_
netted with the offence with which be was charged. He
was the recognised agent in London through whom per-
sons in Scotland got supplied with counterfeit coin, and
although he had been known to have executed many com-
missions, it was only until lately that the police had been
enabled to secure him. When he was taken into custody
he did not deny the charge, but said ho was " hard up," and
bad been compelled to take to the business to keep his fa-
mily from starvation.

He was fully committed for trial.
John Lees.on and Elizabeth Gleason were charged by
the authorities of the parish of St. Martin-in-the fields
with keeping a number of disorderly houses.
Inspector Brennan apprehended the prisoners, and said
the present prosecution was instituted in consequence of
the numerous complaints that had been made lately of
numerous robberies and outrages taking place near the
prisoners' houses in Skelton-court, Bedfordbury. The
male prisoner was the proprietor of a large number of
houses, all of which he let out to unfortunate women, and
by such means ho secured a very large income. His own
payment of rent amounted to over £3OO per annum.
Evidence having been adduced, the magistrate fully
committed both prisoners for trial, but intimated that he
would take substantial bail for their appearance at the ses-
sions.

colour or decay, and will be found superior to any, teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and prese,Te teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to rostorc articulation and mastication. Docayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
