THE STAFFORD ELECTION.

Mr. Edmond Beales has not yet done with politi-
cal life. lie comes to the front again, with an address
to the electors of Stafford—" especially those of the
working classes." ll° prays the working men to be
superior to the slavish and conventional idolatry
which worships rank and wealth ; and advises them
to shew how proud they aro of labour—the real
support and strength of the nation. They may
show that by the election of George Odgers, the agi-
tator of the Reform League. Said George Odgers
seem to possess all the virtues which one erring man
could unite in himself. Intimately conversant with
the artisan mind, gifted with great soundness of
judgment, possessing great power of self-control,
cool and unruffled under the most exciting circum-
stances or the most irritating. personal attacks,
experienced in public, irreproachable in private life,
and most honourable, ho has self-denial, delicacy
of feeling, refined nature, is anxious for public
good—is, in fact, specially qualified to be a
member of Parliament, according to Mr. Beales's
idea of such a member. it is not surprising that
the working men of Stafford have received him
favourably.

THE ST. GOTHARD RAILWAY.

The Swiss Federal Government has taken up the
stupendous project of a railway through the central
Alpine region of Switzerland with great energy. It was
necessary before proceeding with the scheme to obtain
the consent of the various local governments of the
cantons. A great majority of these have alreadyreturned
an answer favourable to the St. Gothard line, and the
Federal Government has accordingly entered into negotia-
tions with North Germany, Italy, and Baden. Delegates
from these States have been invited to a conference at
Berne. Here the terms of an international treaty will be
agreed upon.

AUSTRALIAN PAUPERIS3I.

The Immigration Establishment at Sydney has been
broken up on account of disuse. New South Wales is a
very long way off, there is a bad land law in force there,
and so emigration from the old country has virtually
ceased. It is a remarkable fact that, scanty as is the
copulation of New South Wales, boundless as are
the opportunities for labour and capital, the amount of
poverty in the settlement is great and increasing. The
2'imes correspondent says that pauperism in the colony is
becoming so serious that the adoption of a poor rate is no
remote contingency. Nevertheless, immigrants are much
wanted. There is abundance of room for them. Why,
then, this pauperism and impending poor rate? The Times
correspondent has no hesitation in ascribing it to one single
agency—the bottle.

CENTENARIANS.

Another centenarian case has just been investi-
gated, and with the usual result. It was stated that
an old soldier of Bath was in his 105th year. A
Mr. William Ti. Shaws, being an unbeliever in such
cases, looked the matter up. Ile found the man
very shaky, with a good memory as to places, but
with no memory at all as to dates. lie elicited from
him, however, that he was dischvrged in 1818 with
18 years' service allowed, his previous service being dis-
allowed because he was then under the age of 18. It
is therefore clear that he only attained the regula-
tion age of 18 in 1800, and consequently must have
been born, not in 1704, but about 1782, and, conse-
quently, is not 104, but somewhere about 87.

NON-COLLEGIATE STUDENTS.

Cambridge has followed the good example set by
Oxford, and henceforth university instruction will be
given and degrees conferred at the first-mentioned
seat of learning upon persons who may not be
members of any college or ball. An Order in
Council has been issued approving of this statute.
It is to be hoped that this concession will be largely
used. It has scarcely received the attention at
Oxford which it deserves.

DUTCH-RHENISH.

The receipts for tho fortnight ending the 30th of
April, 1869, amounted to £11,920, and for the
corresponding period of last year to £11,665, show-
ing an increase of £256. The receipts since the
commencement of the present book year on the Ist
of May, 1868, including the above, amounted to
£316,371, showing an increase, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year, of £15,785.
The working expenses for the fortnight amounted
to £5,490, or 46.05 per cent. of the receipts; and
for the corresponding fortnight of last year to
£5,129, or 45.12 per cent., showing an increase of
£361. The working expenses from the Ist of May,
1868, to the 30th of April, 1869, amounted to
£130,487, or 42.24 per cent, of the receipt, and
for the corresponding period of last year to 42,68

ALLEGED MURDER BY A FATHER.

At the Ottery (Devonshire) Petty Sessions, on Tuesday,
William Palfrey, agricultural labourer, was charged with
the wilful murder of his son Edward Palfrey. The prisoner
and his wife are in the employ of Mr. John Wright,
farmer, of Fullaton. On Thursday evening the deceased, 6
years of age, was found by Mr. Wright asleep in. a bullock
crib in his courtyard. hlis mother presently came
and led him away. The same evening the prisoner took
the lad home on his shoulder, and threw him along the
floor, " not very hard, but he did not stoop to do it." The
little fellow began to groan, and he lay groaning about a
quarter of an hour. When the father threw him down,
he kicked him, saying, " The child is drunk ; get up." He
again said, on being remonstrated with, that he had
dipped the child in the brook. During the night the lad
died. The medical evidence sheued that there were no
marks of violence externally, except a small bruise
on the right arm. In the stomach of the de-
ceased a quantity of blood was found. There
was an external laceration of the right lobe
of the liver, which went completely through it, almost
dividing it. Death was caused by the rupture of
the liver and the consequent hemorrhage. Considerable
violence must have been used. The magistrates com-
mitted the prisoner for trial at the ensuing Exeter Assizes
on the charge of wilful murder.

Young Girls, and other similar institutions, called their

THE FRIENDS OF THE CLERGY.

There are still some religious associations which have
to hold their festivals however. The Corporation of the
Friends of the Clergy held its meeting on Wednesday, at
Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of the Duke
of Abercorn. Lord Clanricarde, Major-General Sir G.
Lawrence, Major-General Sir. J. Coffin, Sir J. Ray,
Archdeacon Hale, and other gentlemen of distinction
wet e a:so present. The object of the Corporation is two-
fold--first, to provide pensions, not exceeding £4O per
annum, for the widows and unmarried orphan daughters
cf clergymen of Ate Established Church ; secondly, to
afford temporary ass=istance to necessitous clergymen and
their families. With re_•..r.rd to the first object, since
the foundation of the charity in 1849, 161 ladies have
been admitted pensioners, and they have received a
total of .E,14,275 15s. One hundred and seven ladies
are now receiving pensions of from CIO to £4O
per annum, the less amount increasing to the greater with
advancing years ; and the payments to them during the
past year amounted to £4,000. With respect to the second
object, the sum of £10,045 has been granted to clergymen
and their families at times of great trial and suffering.
No fewer than 200 appeals for special aid are now before
the committee ; and the particulars stated in some of
these applications place beyond doubt the fact that some
of the working clergy are in very necessitous circum-
stances. The chairman, in eloquent terms, advocated the
cause of the charity, and mentioned that it bad the
patronage of the Prince and the Princess of Wales, and of
the Archbishops of Canterbury, York, Armagh, and
Dublin.

MR. BUCKSTONE ON SADBATARIANISM.

Mr, Buckstone's declaration that actors would not
work on Sundays has attracted the attention of the
Secretary of the Lord's Day Rest Association. The
theatrical manager's opinion has been requested on
the subject of the opening of museums on Sundays,
" If you want to rest," says Dr. Hill to him, " why
should not the attendants at museums be allowed to
do S 3 " Mr. Buckstone's reply is not such as the
secretary evidently hoped to receive :

"The object of the Lord's Day Rest Association is
avowed to be the securing on Sunday a day of rest for
everyone. I much doubt of that being the pure and
simple reason ; it appears to me to emanate from a
gloomy and sectarian desire to make everybody as
miserable as possible on one day in the week. W►th
respect to a kindred question—the entire closing of
public-houses on Sunday—this would be a gross injustice,
and an undeserved tyranny toward the working classes,
especially as the existing regulations are found to work
so well, and do no harm to anybody. Should this
tyrannical course be adopted by the Government,
there would ensue such an uproar throughout the
country as would not be very pleasant to the promoters of
the Lord's Day Rest Association, while to be just you
should propose to close the clubs on Sunday, neither
waiters nor cooks to be employed ; shut up the Zoological
Gardens ; stop all railway trains, so that no clerks, no
guards, no porters should be in attendance. People who
now go to church in their carriages should walk, so that
coachmen, footmen, and stablemen should not be called
upon to work. Families who keep a cook should go with-
out hot dinners, and so on ; indeed, this sort of argument
could be continued ad infinitunt."
London, England, 1869-05-20

PARLIAMENT AND THE BILL.

The statement that Lord Derby means to move
the rejection of the Irish Church 13111, originated by
the John Bull, seems to be disproved by the announce-
ment now made in the Daily News that the Conser-
vative peers will meet in conclave after the Whitsun-
tide holidays to consider the course which it will be
best to take with respect to that measure. The Daily
Neres, discussing the leaders in the Upper House,
considers that Lord Cairns will not be able to hold
that post ; that Lord Malmesbury is, of course, out
of the question ; and that Lord;;Derby will have to
come to the front again, and will find in Lord Cairns
as able a second as Mr. Disraeli has found in Dr.
Ball. The Conservative Whip, Mr. Noel, has issued
a circular to the members of the party in the Lower
House, urging them to be present at the third read-
ing of the bill, which will be opposed by Mr. Holt,
M.P. for North-East Lancashire.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC

DISIIOPS IN IRELAND.

An Italian paper says that there is va ;lie talk of a
negotiation between the English Gol ern:nent and the
Papal Court, its cbject being to induce the latter to
recommend the Roman Catholic Bishops in Ireland
to use all their influence for putting an end to
agrarian assassinations. From another quarter we
learn that Cardinal Antonelli has actually written
such a letter. Poth these statements were made
before the publication of Archbishop Leahy'spastoral,
and that pastoral seems to confirm the truth of the
reports. It will be remembered that similar inter-
uid 17,eruyb “overnment, we
believe, in (srd,n• to .lorri the Fenian conspiracy.

Ml. 3.I‘I,AREN.

The Stowlard makes a severe attack upon Mr.
M•Laren. the senior member for Edinburgh, lensing,
him and his colleague,
Mr. Miller, "of having fore-
sworn all their pledg( s and falsified the whole tenor
of their political lives." This is one of those
general statements which the S'/aiidard would find
very difficult to ",justify" if prosecuted for libel.
The article goes on to affirm that the Edinburghers
have always been Intensely opposed to any
grant to Maynooth, and that it was for this reason
they rejected Mr. Meculay, the historian, in favour
of Mr. Cowan, the papermaker. But twenty years
is a long period in modern political history.
Edinburgh has moved on like the rest of the world,
and it no longer suffers the farthing- piece of May,
nooth to be held up to its eye and hide the whole
universe of politics. There has been no meeting of
electors to denounce Mr. _M Laren, even though he
has, in the opinion of the Standard, been bought
over by the gift of a public office worth £GOO a
year best.-.,wed upon Mr. 3l'Laren's son by Mr.
M'L'lren's brother in-I,w, Mr. Bright.

THE PEACE SOCIETY.

The fifty-third anniversary of the Peace Society
was held on Tuesday. Such a gathering could hardly
have failed to have been interesting at this juncture.
And it was made especially so by addresses delivered
by a United States citizen. Said United States
citizen—the Rev. Mr. Pall—and Mr. Newman Hall
had a little friendly battle on the subject of the
Alabama claims. Those who had preceded them
had advocated peace at any price. Mr. Pall came
forward saying that ➢lr. Sumner's speech had been
misinterpreted. ' The chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the American. Senate had
great faith in gentle force. He did not
mean war. He only presented his side of the
case, not as being unimpeachable, not as being
necessarily the correct one, but for the judgment of
opity. The Rev. Newman Hall, who followed,
dissented from this. Ile had received letters from
an eminent American clergyman, who declared that
unless England were prepared to give satisfaction,
the thunder of Armstrong guns and the rattle of
Millie balls might be expected. Mr. Hall, though
not taking direct issue with those who had already
spoken, yetevidently hardly enders-A thepeace at any
price theory. Peace, he said, was. Christian. It
would be a disgrace if two countries, professing the
knowledge Of Clod, went to war before the heathen.
But the restraint must be on both nations alike.
While England, if in the wrong, would confess it,
and pay the damage, the rev, gentleman protested
that she must not be bullied. Mr. 11. Richard,
M.P. for Merthyr, and Mr. W. fowler, the member
for Cambridge, with other speakers, congratulated
themselves that peace principles were spreading, not
only in this country, but on the Continent.

The Madrid correspondents of the Times and Indolpen-

under Serrano has been finally determined on, and will
be submitted to the Cortes as soon as the debate on the
form of government terminates. This is fast drawing to
a close. Numerous amendments by the Republicans have
been rejected by large majorities, and the decision of
the Spaui,l Parliament in favour of a monarchy is
therefore assured.

.%BORIGINE•S PROTECTION SOCIETY.

The Aborigines Protection Society held its thirty-second
annual meeting at the London Tavern, Mr. T. Hughes,
M.P., in the chair. The annual report entered at con-
siderable length into the proceedings of the society during
the past year, especially with reference to slavery in the
Trans-Vaal Republic, where Kaffir children, who are
captured by the Boers in their marauding expeditions,
are used as domestic slaves, and figure in the
Dutch trader's books as " black ivory," or as " ivory
tusks." The society w,,uld continue to prosecute its
labours in this matter until the practice of kidnapping had
entirely ceased, and the Boers had been compelled to
liberate the natives whom they now held as slaves. The
conduct of the Governor of the Cape in ceding to the Boers
the most fertile valleys of Basutoland, although he had
declared that if the natives were cooped up in the moun-
tains they could not possibly exist, was severely
criticised. The society had memorialised the Government
in favour of making provision for the settlement of the
Indian tribes of the Hudson's Bay territories on ample
reserves. With reference to the Queensland traffic in
Pacific Islanders, the report said :—" If to kidnap human
beings is a form of the slave trade, then is that trade prac-
tised in the South Seas. If to sell human beings at so
much a-piece for planters and squatters, and to coerce
them into the performance of their daily labour, be to
treat them as slaves, then slavery has a local habitation in
Queensland." Resolutions approving of the objects were
put to the meeting, and carried unanimously.

NATIONAL SOCIRTY FOR TAE PROTECTION OF YOUNG GIRLS.

This excellent society was instituted in 1835, and has
established an asylum for young girls at Woodhouse,
Wanstead, in Essex. The object cf the society is to save
young Cris (not thieves) between the ages of 11 and 15,
whether orphans or otherwise, who are from any cir-
cuinstance in danger of becoming abandoned, and to feed,
clothe, and prepare them for future usefulness as
domestic servants. The report, which was read
by Mr. J. B. Talbot, the secretary, stated that since the
commencement of the society 1,629 young girls had been
received into the institution, of whom 900 had been sent
to service and 120 returned to their friends. The average
number in the house during the past year had been CO;
29 had been admitted, 10 sent to service, and five restored
to their parents. The discipline of the establishment had
been remarkably successful. The far greater proportion
of those who had been educated at the institution and sent
to situations had conducted themselves well, and given
great satisfaction, Though the donations had declined
the subscriptions had increased, so that the society had
now an annual list of upwards of £7OO. The report was
adopted, and the meeting was briefly addressed by various
gentlemen.

THAMES.

FRAUD, DISSIPATION, AND CupiE.—William Green
Crewe, a clerk, aged 36 years, who was formerly in a good
position, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
obtaining two sacks of split peas by means of a forged

order.
John Moginnie, foreman to Mr. Benjunin Boucher, corn
factor, Love-lane, Shadwell, said that on Monday after-
noon, at 5 o'clock, the prisoner brought a well-written
order to him. It was in tha following words : —"Messrs.
Boucher and Co.—Please to deliver to the bearer
two sacks of best split pease. —Yours, R. 11.
Wutrrs.—May 17, 1869." The; e was a__ customer
of the firm named Whipps, and believing that Mr. Whipps
wrote the note he delivered two sacks of pease to the pri-
son,r, and they were taken away le a truck.
NV. J. Phipps, oil an 1 'culourman, 134, Cable-street,
Whitechapel, said he never wrote the note, and did not
know the pr;soner. The note was not in his hand-

writing.

Alfred Sturgeon, 90 K, said that ho took ths prisoner
into custody, and he ascertained that he sold the peas to a
man in Poplar below the price they were invoiced at.
Another officer said the prisoner was formerly in good
circumstances, and by a lung course of dissip•ition had re-
duced himself to penury, and lastly forced into crime.
Mr. Paget committed the pri-oner fur trial, and said
there was no occasion for the evidence cf the person who
bought the peas at a reduced price.

THE FRIENDS OP THE CLERGY.

There are still some religious associations which have
to hold their festivals however. The Corporation of the
Friends of the Clergy held its meeting on Wednesday, at
Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of the Duke
of Abercorn. Lord Clanricarde, Major-General Sir G.
Lawrence, Major-General Sir. J. Coffin, Sir J. Hay,
Archdeacon Hale, and other gentlemen of distinction
were also present. The object of the Corporation is two-
fold—first, to provide pensions, not exceeding £4O per
annum, for the widows and unmarried orphan daughters
of clergymen of the Established Church ; secondly, to
afford temporary assistance to necessitous clergymen and
their families. With regard to the first object, since
the foundation of the charity in 1849, 161 ladies have
been admitted pensioners, and they have received a
total of £44,275 15s. One hundred and seven ladies
are_ now receiving pensions of from £3O to £4O
per annum, the less amount increasing to the greater with
advancing years ; and the payments to them during the
past year amounted to £4,000. With respect to the second
object, Ot sum of £10,045 has been granted to clergymen
and their families at times of great trial and suffering.
No fewer than 200 appeals for special aid are now before
the committee ; and the particulars stated in some of
these applications place beyond doubt the fact that some
of the working clergy are in very necessitous circum-
stances. The chairman, in eloquent terms, advocated the
cause of the charity, and mentioned that it had the
patronage of the Prince and the Princess of Wales, and of
the Archbishops of Canterbury, York, Armagh, and
Dublin.

SUSPECTED MURDER IN LONDON.

Crown Tavern, Essex-street, Strand, respecting the
death of Mr. W. R. Young, aged 32 years. Inspector
Judge said that at a quarter to eight o'clock on
Saturday be saw the body of the deceased in the
river opposite Temple Pier, and be took it on board a
boat and brought it on shore. In his pocket was found a
burial certificate and a letter signed "William Young."
The certificate was for a " Riibert Young, 1846."
Robert Young stated that the deceased was a con-
fectioner, living at Nine Elms-lane, Wandsworth-road.
Witness Lad not seen the deceased for a fort-
night. On Wednesday week night he met two young
women, and he was never seen alive after he had been in
their company. Further evidence was given, and it was
stated the young women when asked what they had done
with deceased, said that they had "given him the double"
on Millpond Bridge. The inquest was adjourned for the
attendance of the young women.

CIIMICH PROPF.RTY.

- •
The depression in the value of church property,
which was shewn so strikingly at the time that the
Duke of Norfolk's livings were sold, appears to con-
tinue. The next presentation to the rectory and
vicarage of Westborough, with that of Dry Doddiug-
ton, Lincoln, lately bccame vacant by the death of
the incumbent. The trustees in whom the patronage
is vested have no power to sell during a vacancy.
So they nominated a clergyman, aged 73, whose
possession of the living would give " a prospect of
early presentation." The auctioneer said that if the
living ‘v ere in actual possession it would be worth
£lO,OOO ; and considering that it would in all human
probability soon become vacant, it must be worth
not much less than that amount. One of the ad-
vantages which it offered was, that it had been usual
to have services alternately at each church, so the
work was not very hard. The income, after de-
ducting the curate's stipend, was £OOO a year. He
asked, therefore, for a bid of £5,000 to start
with. At first 4,000 was offered, and this was
increased very slowly to £4,800 when no further
bidding could he obtained, and it was announced that
the property had been bought fn. Admitting that
such tales as this ought to be allowed at all, it is
difficult to. see why there should be so xualA ke3ita-

OBIT VARY.

We regret to announce the death of the Rev.
Alexander Dyce, known to all lovers of Shaks-
pere and of the Elizabethan dramatists. Mr. Dyce
was born in Edinburgh in 179., was educated at the
High School in that city, and at Exeter College,
Oxford. Ile served as curate in Lanteglos, Corn-
wall, and afterwards at Nayland, Suffolk ; but in
1827 took up his permanent abode in London, and
gave himself up to literary pursuits. He is known
chiefly by his editions of :-_,:hakspere. Pecle, Greene,
Webster, Beaumont and Fletcher, and Marlowe. Ile
wrote the lives of Pope, Sha!-spere, Akenside, and
Beattie for the Aldine edition of the Brifsh poets.
Ile was one of the founders of the Percy Society.
We have .also to announce the death of Mr.
Matthew Henry Feilde, one of the chief promoters
of the Public Libraries Act. The nnes obituary
contains likewise a mention of the death of
ThomPs Collin at the age of 86, who for fifty-five
years had been the faithful servant of Lord Hotham,
late M.P.. for the East Biding. Such instances of
prolonged faithful service are too rare to Pass
unnoticed.

AN ILLUSTRIOUS LITTLE VISITOR.

If the Gaulois be correctly informed, we are soon
to have an illustrious little visitor in England. - Our
Parisian contemporary asserts.. that the Prince
of Wales has invited the Prince Imperial
of France to run over. His Imperial
Highness has lately entered his thirteenth
year, and to a lad of his age even ugly London will
offer something in the way of amusement. Nor is
London the only place which the Prince is likely to
visit shortly. His father is about to build himself a
villa on the Palatine Hill at Rome, having purchased
the site from the ex-King of Naples. Building
operations have been begun already. The
Pontiff, we presume, will have no ob.jection
to the presence of such a visitor. If the
Emperor becomes a Roman householder he is
likely to view the Garibaldians with even less favour
than he viewed them two years ago. Victor
Emmanuel may take a different view of the matter,
perhaps ; though even he must have by this time
abandoned the idea of seeing himself crowned on the
capitol.

AUSTRALIAN PAUPERISM.

The Immigration Establishment at Sydney has been
broken up on account of disuse. New South Wales is a
very long way off, there is a bad land law in force there,
and so emigration from the old country has virtually
ceased. It is a remarkable fact that, scanty as is the
population of New South Wales, boundless as are
the opportunities for labour and capital, the amount of
poverty in the settlement is great and increasing. The
Times correspondent says that pauperism in the colony is
becoming so serious that the adoption of a poor rate is no
remote contingency. Nevertheless, immigrants are much
wanted. There is abundance of room for them. Why,
then, this pauperism and impending poor rate? The Times
correspondent has no hesitation in ascribing it to one single
agency— the bottle.
