TUT.: ENGLISH CIIGRCII UNION.

At an important and numerous meeting or the
English Church Union, the recent R j itual udgmen
was most vigorously discussed. Pusey was the
principal speaker, and was received with an
enthusiasm which must have astonished him,
_e
well-
accustomed though he is to hearty receptions. it
read an elaborate argument to shew that in matters
spiritual and ecclesiastical the Privy Council ought
called upon
to have no jurisdiction, that the recent judgment
on which the Reformation of the English Church
was based—the appeal to Primitive and Catholic
Churchmen to defend the principle
antiquity—and that measures should be taken to
promote a reform of the Court of Final Appeal.
Mr. Orby Shipley was for ignoring the Reformation
altogether, and moved an amendment to that effect,
which was lost. Mr. Perry, one of the Ritual
Commissioners, moved a resolution enjoining caution
upon Churchmen in the use of rites Wliich have not
been specifically declared legal, and caution upon the
council of the union in defending suits arising out
of such use. It would seem, therefore, as if the
High Church party had been taught prudence by the
recent judgment, and will pause in the development
of ritual, whose latest manifestations by extreme
men led to the recent lezal nroceedinffs and to the
condemnation, not only of ceremonies of extreme
men, but of the moderate ritual of men who depre-
cated extravagances. This inference is confirmed by
the fact that certain of the speakers at the union
declared that though they did not consider them-
selves morally bound by the ritual judgment, they
thought it expedient to obey it.

GERMANY.

The husband of the Princess Royal of England and his
not very juvenile father, King William, are of decidedly
frolicsome temperament. At a masked ball recently
given by the Crown Prince, the two royal personages left
the palace secretly and dressed elsewhere. The King's
figure is not particularly well adapted to disguise, but by
frequent changes of domino he succeeded in enjoying the
juke of being ordered about by his own police. On one
occasion, says the Daily News correspondent, after
he had quizzed a young countess beyond the bounds
of female curiosity, she suddenly made a snatch
at his mask, when to her own horror and the
King's amusement, she found herself confronted by
Majesty himself. Another rather ludicrous mistake
arose from the Prince of Montenegro and his suite appear.
ing in their national costume. Their picturesque toilet
was taken by the chamberlains for a fancy dress,
and they were at first directed to leave the room
assigned for princely personages, and to join the other
maskers.

Amid the noise of the dispute between Belgium and
France, and the angry feeling caused by Count Bismarck's
speeches in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, it is satis-
factory to learn that in the Upper House of the Prussian
Legislature the Chancellor put forth a decidedly pacific
manifesto. The second of his speeches on the Sequestra-
tion Bill was marked by none of Count Bismarck's brusque,
not to say rude, expressions. It was in fact little less
than a friendly overture to France, and though the terms
were as vague as usual, they may prove not the less
valuable at a time when the old angry rivalry seems to
be reviving.

understands that the French and Prussian
Governments have now undertaken to use tneir innu.ice
with the press of their respective States with a view to
the discontinuance of the acrimonious paper war which
has been raging so hotly between the journals of Paris and
Berlin. It is rather unfortunate, however, that at the
present moment, owing to the Belgian Railway affair, the
contest on the side of France has become more vehement
than ever.
London, England, 1869-02-18

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Somewhat late in the day the first step towards a
general consultation with regard to the Irish Church
has been taken. The bishops having in their late
resolutions appealed to the clergy and laity to suggest
some mode in which bishops, clergy, and people
could take counsel together, the committee of the
Lay :and Clerical Association—a society lately esta-
blished to watch over the interests of the Church in this
emergency—have sent a circular to every parish,
strongly urging that at the coming Easter vestries
syuodsmen should be chosen who could be sum-
moned to diocesan conferences by the bishops.
They advise that not more than three should be
selected in each parish, and that these should be
the persons most fitted by their reputation for
wisdom and their steadfast support of the Church,
for gravely considering whatever problems the
conflict against her enemies may originate. or her
future position require them to solve.
The Archbishop of Armagh has issued an address
to the clergy of his united dioceses, in which he sug-
gests that they should, on some Sundayin Lent,
impress on their congregations " the duty incumbent
on us all of humbling ourselves before Almighty.
God, under a sense of the many sins, negligences,
and omissions on the part of the Church and of the
nation, which in former times and to tha present
have tried His patience and , forbearance, and
have merited His displeasure ; and to point out to
them how earnestly they ought to join in the prayer.
` Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences
of our forefathers,' and Turn from us all those evils
that we have most righteously deserved.' "
.The Arch-
bishop adds : " And as the Houses of Parliament are
about to reassemble, it appears to me that you should
also endeavour to lead your congregations fervently
to pour forth their prayers on behalf of the Legis-
lature." The Primate of the Irish Church admits
that it has been guilty of sins, but we presume
the. confession is of the usual vague kind, not at all
in compatible with angry resentment if any special
sin were charged.

INDIAN TELEGRAPHS.

The prospect of competition seems to have stirred
the managers of the present line of telegraph to
India into something like efficiency. Messrs. Leo
Schuster and Co. write that on February is, at
11.35 a.m., they sent a telegram to Calcutta, and that
at (3.50 p.m. of the same day they received a reply
answering their message in detail. Thus, in less than
7i hours, 12,000 miles of ground were traversed,
which is nearly twig. as fast as the earth travels
round the sun.

Belgium and the North of France. Mr. Duncan has
emetatecu
received 800 tons of sugar-beet from the farmers,
the growth of 1868, for which he has paid at the
rate of 20s. a ton. He has entered into engagement
to pay the same price this year, and with a
favourable season expects to receive 4,000 tons.
Mr. Caird observes that this is not a work to be
entered on. by a novice, for great chemical n 1 engi-
neering skill must be employed in the processes and
machinery. The introduction of sugar-farming into
this country may become an object of national
importance both as regards consumer and producer,
and as a new rural manufacture it will afford em-
ployment to a large body of people during three .
months of the slackest period of the year:
The analysis shews that beet grown in England and
Scotland contains more sugar than that of Belgium,
where its manufacture is successfully carried on. The
best beetroot was grown on the Barking Seivage
Farm, which is watered by the London drainage. It
therefore appears that, in addition to yielding the best
corn, the finest strawberries, and the most beautiful
flowers, the refuse from our drains will produce the
sweetest sugar.

A PLUCKY POLICEMAN.
A sergeant of police, Mason by name, has just per-
formed one of the most plucky actions ever heard of.
He was riding along a country road in Middlesex
one night, when he came on two ruffians driving a
cart full of what he had good reason to believe
was stolen property. He was unarmed, but he
dashed at them, only to find himself con-
fronted by two more ruffians who had been
concealed among the goods. These he held, and,
after a terrible struggle, lashed fast to the cart—the
first two escaping. While duty made the policeman
brave to heroism, conscience made cowards of the
thieves, and thus a large quantity of valuable plate
was recovered. Mason has received two money
rewards, no end of compliments, and promotion.
Col. Henderson, who has
,just issued his address on
becoming Chief Commissioner, asking the police to
support him in his new duties, has received Irom
Mason at all events a very satisfactory reply,

THE PERSIAN DIFFICULTY.

It seems that Europe is to be annoyed by another
Eastern quarrel. Turkey and Persia are on bad terms,
and are troubling the world by marching troops about.
It was at first announced that the Shah had set out
to the scene of " action," but though news from
St. Petersburg contradicts this statement, it is added
that six Turkish battalions with guns have gone
to the frontier. The Neue Freic Presse of Vienna embel-
lishes this intelligence by asserting that 10,000 Turks are
on the march. This quarrel relates to the boundary line
between the Turkish and Persian dominions. The Per-
glans complain that their neighbours have encouraged
predatory expeditions by Koords and Arabs, and that
several frontier villages have been burned and the inha-
bitants driven out. The difficulty arising from the unset-
tled boundary line between the two countries became so
serious three years ago that England and France inter-
fered to prevent a war. The Turkish Governor of Bagdad,
who was deemed the abettor of these Koord and Arab
incursions, was recalled, but, much to the chagrin of the
PereiAua. WWI ..11901.

FORTUGAL

The demonstrations at Lisbon in favour of an Iberian
Union are not without significance. Of all the bankrupt
countries of Europe Portugal is financially the most
miserable. Its deficit has been accumulating yearly since
1865, and the expenditure now exceeds the revenue by
one-half. For the last thirty years there has been no
budget without a deficit. The debt rose from twenty
millions sterling in 1854 to forty-seven millions in 1867,
and all this increase has been during peace. The Govern-
ment has omitted to pay the interest, and has reduced the
rate for both home and foreign obligations ; but these
expedients have availed nothing. Now the troops cannot
be paid, and the crisis, it would seem, cannot be staved
off much longer. Hence the cry for Iberian Union—for
annexing Portugal to another scarcely less bankrupt
State.

THE PERMISSIVE BILL.

The Permissive Bill is endorsed by Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, M.P. for Carlisle, Mr. Baxley, M.P. fox
Manchester, and Mr. Dalway, M.P. for Carrick-
fergus, and president of the Irish Temperance
League. The last-named gentleman was originally
of rather Conservative views, and is still a strong
Orangeman. Nevertheless he has now taken his seat
on the Ministerial side of the House. It may be

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH; fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, end 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 preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

PARIS, Feb. 27.

M. Rouher last night detailed the inconvenience
resulting from financial societies being subjected
to the control of the State, and from the offical
authorisation required for the issue of foreign
loans by companies and banking houses.
From the Minister's speech it is supposed that
the Government intend to introduce a bill grant-
ing complete liberty of action in the cases re-
ferred to.

►SING.ILAE RECOGNITION. —Mary Smith, a well-fed fat
woman, who owned to 43, but is evidently ;many years
older, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget,
charged with stealing 2lbs of mutton, the property of
Mr. George Monkton, butcher, of 269, Whitechapel-road.
On Friday afternoon, the 19th inst., Mr. Monkton had
just driven up to his house with his horse and chaise, when
he saw the prisoner leaving the shop with a piece of mut-
ton in her hand. He at once recognized her as a person
who had been convicted and sentenced to one month s
imprisonMent and bard labour for stealing 611 m. of pork
from his shop in August, 1867. He at once laid hold
of her, and said " You have stolen that mutton," to which
she replied, "No, I have nat." The shopman, who had
turned his back for a moment, said the meat had not been
sold, and she was given into custody.
The former conviction was formally proved against her,
and it was stated she had been in custody on other occa-
sions for stealing butchers' meat.
Prisoner—l will plead guilty; settle it at once, sir.
Mr. Paget—No, I will not ; you are an old offender, and
will go before a jury for trial.

(From the Musical Standard.)

The theatre at Cologne has been destroyed by fire, and
nine persons have unfortunately perished. The house
has only been built ten years, replacing one also burnt.
At the approaching Great Rhine Musical Festival, they
announce for performance Handel's "Joshua," a cantata
of Bach's, the second part of Haydn's "Seasons," and
Mendelssohn's "Lobgmmg."
The performances of the Italian Opera Company in the
new theatre of the Viceroy at that ancient city, Cairo, aro
very frequent and successful. The Italian opera seems to
Lave acquired a footing both in Turkey and Egypt.

Tiff; MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.--
A most intere:tlng and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 9/, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 5S and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a, purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with peifect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint..
meet to the Prioco of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any. addrecs
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too stiougly

THE ADMIRALTY CORRUPTION CASE.

The prosecution of Mr. Rumble is likely to prove
a notable case, and to lead to such disclosures as will
make us blush for the reputation of Government
officials. Sir Thomas Henry, the magistrate before
whom the preliminary charge is being heard, dis-
tinctly stated that the case against Rumble " might
resolve itself into several charges, that of extortion
for instance ;" and he added that there were books
found in the possession of the prisoner containing
entries which the prosecution were bound to investi-
gate. It is strange that so clever a man as Mr.
Rumble seems to be, since he has escaped such a
charge as this for many years, should not have bad
the forethought to make to himself friends of the
mammon of unrighteousness. Not a single person
can he get to stand bail for him.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on Loudon is 251.15 a. per .£1 sterling.
On Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
.£4 115.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at GO days' si;-;lit was on the last date about 1 81 per cent
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the Uni.ca :Cates.

The general business t,f California is reported
this winter as full of life. Improvements of all kinds are
progressing rapidly. Money is plenty, and can be had
cheap. Silver mining companies, with an aggregate
' nominal capital of .£18,000,000, have been organized in
San Francisco during the last two months.
In au argument before the Supreme Court at
Boston, the other day, up= the meaning of the word
" survive," in the will of the late Joseph E. Worcester,
LL. D., the distinguished lexicographer, one of the counsel
cited the definition of that word given in Worcester's dic-
tionary, as indicating the intent of the testator.
"A w !" exclaimed au English Cockney to a
Western traveller in England, " speaking-aw of the law
