THE SOVEREIGN.

'Without discussing the advisability of charging a
mintage, Sir John Lubbock argues in the Times
that it is incredible that the charge of a mintage
should produce no effect on the value of the coin. If
a mintage of 1 per cent. be imposed, new sovereigns
will only be obtainable at a cost of one per cent.
higher than before; and no one will pay the Mint 1
per cent. for coining bullion, unless the coins thus
obtained are worth as much as the bullion given for
them ; hence a mintage must either raise the value
of the coin or put a stop to coinage altogether. On
the other hand, if a mintage of 1 per cent. is charged,
and 1 per cent. of gold dust is deducted from the
sovereign, these two charges will counterbalance one
another, and the value of the sovereign will be the
same as it is now. While care must be taken not to
cheat creditors by lowering the value of the pound,
equal care, Sir John says, must be taken not to
cheat debtors by raising it.

SIR SAMUEL BAKER'S EXPEDITION.

According to accounts that have been received from
Alexandria, it appears that the expedition to Central
Africa, under the superintendence of Sir Samuel Baker,
will soon set out. It is expected that this undertaking
will lead to the conquest of extensive territories for the
Viceroy. Sir Samuel has received the title of Bey, and
has arranged to remain for four years in the Egyptian
service. Some of the best troops in Soudan have been
placed under his command, and hostile operations are
expected to take place in the country of the Bari tribe,
which has refused to recognise the rule of the
Egyptians. The Egyptian Government has not
spared any expense in fitting out the expedition, and
five iron river steamers are expected from England. Not
less than £25,000 have already been spent in the preliminary
arrangements but it is thought probable that the sum may
be recovered during the first year's operations.

TIIE ALBERT.

Some not unimportant business has been tram-
acted at the joint meeting of the London and pro-
vincial committees of policy-holders in the Albert
Assurance Company. The meeting, from which the
representatives of the Press were rigorously ex.-
chided, was presided over by Lord William Hay,
and resolutions were passed to the following effect;
that the plan of reconstruction proposed by the
provisional liquidators be rejected ; that the com-
pany ought to be compulsorily wound up under the
Joint Stock Companies Acts, with the powers con-
ferred by the OGth section; that the liquidation
should be conducted by two liquidators, to be chosen
by the joint committee, acting under the
supervision and control of a committee of
seven policy-holders. Tho following gentlemen
were nominated as members of such corn-
mittee :—Lord William Hay and Mr. James
Cundy, for London ; Mr. J. T. 8011, for India ; Mr.
Walker, chairman of the Liverpool Committee ; Mr.
John Lowe, chairman of the Birmingham Com-
mittee; Mr. R. Smith, chairman of the Manchester
Committee; and the Rev. H. W. Kemp, chairman

THE BEVERLEY ELECTION COMMISSION.

Still more corruption is being probed, both at
Bridgwater and Beverley. A witness at the former
town was put in a hard position on Wednesday. At
the election he gut £lO for voting Liberal; Mr.
Bussell, who acted on behalf of Kinglake and Van-
derby', gave him the money. When Mr. Justice
Blackburn was inquiring into the state of the borough
this witness—his name was Hayward—swore posi-
tively and unflinchingly that he had received nothing
for his vote. Now, called before the Commissioners
he admits the double crime of having sold the fran-
chise entrusted to him, and of having perjured him-
self in denying that he had done so. The Commis-
sioner on hearing this confession told Hayward that
they should advise the Attorney-General to prosecute
him forperjury. Further information was supplied as to
theconnection of the candidates with the bribery. Far
from exonerating Mr. Vanderbyl, the evidence
though given on his behalf tends to prove that he
knew about the illegal acts if he did not sanction
them. He seems to have bon badgered by the
lawyen, argued with, persuaded, and threatened
with defeat, in order that he might be led to bribe.
He complained bitterly of this pressure upon
him to some of his more confidential friends
at the commencement of the campaign ; but,
to all appearance, afterwards gave way.

MORE EXTRA-PALIAMENTARY 'UTTERANCES.

Two more M.P.s have been " orating " to the
Armes. Lord R. Montagu and Mr. T. Baring both
spoke after the dinner.of the Huntingdon Agricul-
tural Association on Wednesday. The noble lord
was great upon the subject of horse and cattle
breeding, and discoursed eloquently on dog training
and such like topics. On the latter subject,
having expressed the opinion that pointers and setters
might be brought to do almost anything, he added—
" The powers of the mind and the passions were all
amenable to habit, which is the central idea of educa-
tion ; and education, after all, is nothing but the
giving of habits. Lord Bacon, one of the greatest
of English philosophers, says, Education is a
custom ;' and the highest of all authorities, said,
' Train up a child in the way he should go." Mr.
Baring spoke generally of the advantages of agri-
cultural associations as tending to bring persons of
all classes of political opinions together on one
common ground ; and ho urged the usefulness of
scientific aids to argriculture, as well as the im-
provement of the education of the agricultural
labourer.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
I-4 The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

THE WARWICESIIIIIE MEMEERS.

Mr. Bromley Davenport, M.P., who spoke at the
Warwickshire Agricultural Society's dinner, was
misreported. Ile was made to say that he disagreed
with the views expressed by 111 r. Newdegate on the
Irish land question. The truth was, Mr. Davenport
thoroughly approved of all his colleague said on that
point. What he objected to was the remark of a
previous speaker, who wished that the land question
should be entertained in England similarly and in
conjunction with Ireland. It is satisfactory to know
that Mr. Davenport does not attach blame to the
reporters for the error, but to the building, which
was the " very worst adapted_ for speaking" he had
ever known.

THE HUMBOLDT CENTENARY.

The Germans in London have duly celebrated the
centenary of Humboldt. Karl Blind delivered
a discourse in German on the " Grand Master of
Science," giving a sketch of Humboldt's scientific
inquiries, of his philosophical views, and also of his
political opinions as far as they are known from the
posthumous publication of the Varuhagen corre-
spondence, and from various other sources, as well
as from what Humboldt occasionally published him-
self in the way of general maxims in reference to
State affairs. The oration was interspersed with
many striking remarks drawn from the writings and
sayings of Humboldt. The choral unions then sang
Mendelssohn's "Andie Kiintsler," which was followed
by the reading of a poem which Rittershans bad
sent from Germany.

HAVANNAH AND MATANZAS.

A meeting of bondholders in this company was
held at the London Tavern yesterday, Baron
Schroder in the chair, for the purpose of receiving
a report from the committee of bondholders ap-
pointed at a meeting held on the 28th of July last,
to adopt such measures as might be deemed ad-
visable to protect the interests of the bondholders.

Mr. SMITH read the report of the committee,
which stated that they had been furnished with all
the documents in the possession of Messrs. Schroder
and Co., but they found it was impossible to ascer-
tain the exact position of the bondholders without
sending an agent to the Havannah. They had
therefore entered into an engagement with Mr. W.
E. Underdown, a barrister, well acquainted with
Spanish questions and the Spanish Loan, to proceed
to the Havannah and to take such measures as he
might think desirable in the interests of the bond-
holders. The expenses of the mission it was pro-
posed to defray by a payment from each bondholder
of I.s. in the pound from the two first half-yearly divi-
dends paid, and in the meantime Messrs. Schroder
had agreed to advance the necessary funds.
The CHAIRMAN said he fully agreed with the re-
commendation of the committee to send an agent to
the llavannah, and believed they could not have
selected a man more fitting for the task than Mr.
Underdown. He moved that the report be received,
and its recommendations at once carried out.

After some questions had been asked and replied
to by Mr. Smith, as to the powers to be vested
in the agent and the probable expense, the reso-
lution was unanimously agreed to, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman concluded the business of
the meeting.

THAMES.

KNOCKING A EYE OUT.—A boy, aged only sigh
years, who gave the name of Henry Buggelue, was brought
up on remand from a workhouse, where he had been under
detention for a week, charged with " knocking a girl's eye
out.'' The charge was so stated by a police constable.
The prisoner, a more child in appearance, and other boys
were engaged in the dangerous and stupid practice of stone
throwing in New-street, at the back of the Loudon Hos-
pital, when a stone thrown by tho prisoner strucl.
a girl, named dune Logsden, on the eye, and she
fell and was stunned. Her eyo was frightfully cut,
and her father said the sight of it Was gone.
He did not consider it of any use to prosecute so young a
boy as the prisoner. Older boys ought to be prosecuti d
for throwing stones. It was a most dangerous practice
and ought to be put down.

Mr. Benson quite agreed with Mr. Logsdon. He wa;
surprised that people did not seize boys throwing stones
and bring them before the magistrates at the police courts.
He would punish them severely if cases were made out.
lie quite agreed with the father of the child, that it wok,
useless to prosecute the boy. He gave him a severe lec-
ture and discharged him.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

BIDEFORD, Thursday.

A. Gosset, Esq., the collector of Customs, and
hon. secretary of the Bideford Branch of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution, states that the ship
Avonmore, of Bristol, 1,158 tons, W. R. Corfield,
master, bound from Cardiff for Monte Video, with
coals, was driven ashore on the 13th inst. at
Morwenstow, six miles north of Bade. Fifteen of
the crew were saved by means of the rocket
apparatus from Bude, under the direction of
Mr. IV. Simpson, the chief officer of Coast
Guard, but seven men were unfortunately washed
overboard after the vessel struck. Captain Cor-
field reports that he was about 30 miles W. of
Seilly,when the hurricane burst quite suddenly on
him on Saturday evening. lie states that it was
the most severe one he ever experienced.
The ship being very much disabled through loss
of sails and spars, was bearing up for the British
Channel, when she was driven ashore at Morwen-
stow, at about noon on Monday. She was a splen-
did vessel.

nusu CHURCH ORGANISATIM

The Synod meeting at Dublin is doing important
work. The Lower house decided two very impor-
tant questions on Wednesday. The bishops, meeting
privately, had suggested that deans and archdeacons
should, by right of office, have seats in the new
Church Body. This the Lowor Chamber would
not allow ; several deans and archdeacons speaking
on the subject urged that there was no reason wht
they should. have the honour about to be bestowed
upon them ; and the clergy (they contended) ought
to be represented as they wished, not according tQ
the officers of the Church. It was therefore
declared by a majority of 107 to 29 that all members
of the new body should be elected by the clergy.
To whom votes should be given was then a
matter for discussion. Should only beneficed clerg#
have the power of election, or should universal
suffrage be the basis of the constitution ? Should
there, moreover, be any restrictions as to who should
sit in the Church Parliament ? The questions ware
debated warmly enough ; but the argument that the
newly-organised Church must obtain the widespread
affection of the people prevailed over all others, and
it war, resolved that all beneficed and licensed clergy-
men—deans, canons, prebendaries, archdeacons,
vicars, rectors, curates—should have power both to
vote and to be elected.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The English consul at Bahia (Brazil) states that the
war with Paraguay has depreciated in an unprecedented
manner the value of the national currency. So long as
the war lasts, he says, there is small expectation of any
perceptible improvement in the general trade of the
country. Bahia has already sent to the seat of war 18,330
men, and it can be readily understood that so large a con-
tribution of males in such a thinly-populated country
cannot but eventually tell against its best interest and
prosperity; the more so as the African race held in
bondage is dying off, and the creoles born in the country
by no means supply the void experienced through the
cessation of the African slave trade.

C. D. Loveless, appointed to examine into the
circumstances connected with the condition and
future position of the in-pensioners .of Greenwich
Hospital are about to conclude their labours. One of
their chief duties ha 3 been to award special pensions
to those men willing to leave the establishment under
the provisions of the Greenwich Hospital Act passed
last session. Availing themselves of that Act, all
the pensioners who are not positively unable from
helplessness to leave the place, and who have friends
outside, have elected to take their departure. The
Somerset ward of the Infirmary will then be able to
accommodate all who will be left in the institution;
and the rest of the building heretofore occupied by
the pensioners will be at the disposal of the Govern-
ment for the purposes of a natural collection of a
naval character, to be brought together and arranged
by the Admiralty. The men are said to be perfectly
satisfied with the out-premiums awarded to.,theni.

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT BASLE.

The International Working Men's Congress at Basle
has received a communication from Bohemia assuring its
members of the sympathy of the working classes there. In a
discussion which took place it was agreed that society bad
a right to abolish private property in land and convert it
into public property. A difficulty.trose as to what should
be done with the land, and several contrary opinions were
expressed by different speakers. Some excitement was
produced by the appearance of the delegate appointed
by the American Labour Congress, who was received with
loud cheers. It was finally resolved that it be left to the
next Congress to settle in what manner the resolutions of
the committee were to be carried into effect.

A singular scene (says the Lire? pool Mercury) has been
Witnossed at the Blackburn Petty Sessions. Ann John-
eon, an old woman, summoned a respectable young
woman, named Elizabeth Holt, for stealing a
sliver spoon, The spoon was produced in court, and was
found to be of base metal and worth 13d. Both the com-
plainant and defendant's mother averred that the spoon
has `'een in their possession for years, and had been stolen
within thelst three months ; and witnesses were called on
both sides to lat."' tify the spoon by its turned up corner
.
and several dimples. :„.`,7nid the laughter of the court the
magistrates' clerk suggested th:.4.' they should toss up for
the spoon. They accordingly retiree,_ 41?4. it was imme-
diately announced that Mrs. Taylor, Holt's is-other:, bad
won the toss, and she carried off the spoon in trit.:'"Ph
