however, seems to nave a strong crujecuuli
ceecling in the matter, believing, probably, that any
attempt to define rigidly a doctrine of such a mys-
terious character as the Sacramental Presence
in the Eucharist must fail, or that if it
should succeed great harm would be done. He
therefore declines to grant any aid to the pro-
secutors. The effect of this refusal will be that
some important evidence will not be producible (we
presume that Mr. Bennett's essay in a The Church
and the World " is referred to, as that was published
in the diocese of London). The Church Association
now contemplate applying for a mandamus to compel
Bishop Jackson to render the same aid as was afforded
by Archbishop Tait.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.
NORTON CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being. a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial tbat it is with justice
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. 2s. 9d., and 11. s. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.
Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."

TWO BILLS.

Two bills issued yesterday are of importance, the
one having for its object the repeal of religious tests
in the universities, the other further regulating the
Sunday liquor traffic in Ireland—the one removing
obstacles in the way of the pursuit of knowledge, the
other attempting to make the road of vice more
difficult to tread. Sir J. Coleridge's name still backs
the Abolition of Tests Bill, and though it is given
out that his name is there in his private capacity, it
is understood that the Cabinet as a body intends to
support the measure. It contains only seven clauses,
the effect of which may be very shortly stated.
Persons taking lay academical degrees and
candidates for professorships are not to be
required to subscribe to any formulary of faith or to
make declarations concerning their religious belief.
This provision does not apply to to collegiate offices;
but with regard to these the Act of Uniformity and
some other Acts are repealed. A special clause is
inserted providing against the application of the
measure to the celebration of public worship.

The Sunday Liquor Bill is backed by Major
O'Reilly, Mr. Pim, and Mr. Peel Dawson. It seeks
to enact that no liquor shall be sold on Sunday,
Good Friday, or Christmas Day, except between the
hours of two and nine in towns, and two and seven
in rural districts. In rural districts the magistrates
are to have power to allow houses to be open between
seven and nine ; and in towns the governing body
has power to declare the place a rural district for the
purposes of the Act. The penalty for infringing the
Act is five pounds for each offence.

EMIGRATION.

A Mr. William P:lrfitt, in a letter to the Standard,
snakes some remarks upon the proposed scheme for
increasing the number of emigrants to Victoria, and
hopes it may not prove another failure. lie con-
siders that the postal question had better
not be mixed with one that is commer-
cial. To do so would greatly increase the
expense, and offer no corresponding advantages.
He is against the scheme of an alternate monthly
mail via the Cape, and thinks that the Cape route
possesses advantages for a passenger and cargo line,
but that it would require an enormous subsidy to
mane it answer as a mail line, that irregularity would
be created, and halt its efficiency for carrying cargc
and emigrants would be destroyed.
Mr. Richards, Commissioner of Crown Lands.
Toronto, writes to Mr. Lynn on the subject of
Canadian emigration, and considers the proposal that
has been made relative to the reservation of land for
intending English emigrants. ne states on behalf
of the department of Crown Lands, that they are
willing to give a fair trial to the plan which has been
proposed for free grants of Lind to be made to the
emigrants to be reserved for them for six months,
but he adds that the experience of the past does
not encourage the department to make the experi-
ment again.

THE DIVISION ON MR. FAWCETT.6 CLAUSE.

An analysis of the division list on Mr. Fawcett's
clause furnishes another illustration of the firmnes,
with which the Conservatives hold together, and also
the conflicting elements now represented on the
Trep.sury side the House. Among the 165
members who voted for the clause, only one Conserva-
tive appeared, viz., Mr. Bercsford Hope. Per contra,
no fewer than twenty Liberals deserted their party,
and voted with the majority (10S) against the mea-
sure. They are :—Mr. Barclay (Taunton), Mr.
Brand (Hertfordshire), Mr. 11. A. Brassey
(Sandwich), Lord Bury (l3crwick-upon-Tweed),
Mr. H. Edwards (Weymouth), Mr. J. J.
Ennis (Athlone), Colonel French. (Roscommon),
Hon. E. F. L. Gower (Bodmin), Mr. E. Haviland-
Burke (Christchurch), Mr. 11. A. Herbert (Kerry),
Mr. A. Matheson (Ross), Mr. W. If. Maxwell

Mr. Mitchell (Bridport), Mr. Lowe Jones-
Parry (Carnarvonshire), Mr. Pochin (Stafford), the
lion. W. 0. Stanley (Beaumaris), Mr. Talbot
(Glamorganshire), Mr. Watkin Williams (Denbigh-
shire), Mr. Brydges Willyams (East Cornwall).
This list comprises some of the strongest Liberals in
the House of Commons, and a few of them have
generally been put down as holding " advanced"
views. Mr. Baines and Mr. M'Laren acted as tellers
for the Ayes, and Colonel Barttelot and Mr. Floyer

J EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably alleys the
ticking which pi °yokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY OP MUSICIANS.

There is such a society; although probably very
few of our readers have ever heard of it. It has
just held its 131st anniversary festival. This
" festival" was not, as some would have expected,
musical, but gastronomical._ Instead of pieces there
were courses; instead of songs, toasts. It was stated that
the society had k 70,000 in the funds, which gave an
annual income of 1!2,200. It was not stated how this
moneywas spent, and the chairman (Lord Stanley) in his
speech made an apology for the society's existence,
more elaborate than convincing. The solicitor-
General made one of those flattering speeches about
the chairman which are as much a staple portion of
these " festivals " as the turtle soup or the ice. We
need hardly add that, under these circumstances, the
festival was highly harmonious in the metaphorical
sense of the word.

office of Governor of Greenwich Hospital, but
his opinion had been overruled. It was also true
the office bad lately been filled up, but not
at the salary of .£1,200 a year, the salary now attached to
the office was only £l3O, as the name of the officer getting
the appointment was kept on the active list. There was
no truth in the statement that some of the pensioners had
not received their pensions. One of his first Ministerial
acts was to inquire into the circumstances relative to the
matter, and finding there was some irregularity he had
the matter thoroughly inquired into, and now every per-
son received his proper pension, With regard to the
medical officers he did not intend to increase the number
of those officers merely for the purpose of giving addi-
tional employment.

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Yesterday General Ulysses S. Grant entered upon his
term of office. Mr. Andrew Johnson retired into private
life, and the twenty-first Administration of the United
States was formally inaugurated. The ceremony took
place at Washington. The head of the State was
escorted to the capitol by a procession of the authorities
and the people, and the oaths of office were administered
by Chief Justice Chase. The day is ordinarily concluded
by a grand inaugu at'on ball. Deputations from all the
States have come up to Washington to take part in this
ceremonial. There is generally a great concourse of
foreigners, but this year the capital has been literally
invaded; for several weeks past not 11 single chamber in
the city has remained vacant. Two oaths are required of
the President—the old Constitutional one, by which
he swears to preserve, maintain, and defend the
Constitution ; the second, prescribed by a law passed
during the civil war, by which he promises to esteem the
Union as the fundamental principle of the Republic.
General Grant is the eighteenth President. Three of his
predecessors were Vice-Presidents who were elevated to
the highest dignity by the death of the President ; and
six were twice elected.
General Grant enters upon his term of office under
circumstances which, though difficult, are less dangerous
than those which his predecessors had to meet. Many of
the most serious questions arising out of the civil war are
virtually disposed of. Reconstruction is so far an accom-
plished fact, that some of the Southern leaders have
manifested a desire to come to terms. Negro suffrage has
gone through Congress, and is now left to the local
legislatures. Congress, too, has taken up the question of
debt redemption, and thus the new President will in all
likelihood have nothing to do but ratify the decision of the
Legislature. Above all, he begins his duties in the enjoy-
ment of unbounded popularity and confidence, and with
the support of a large majority in both Houses. Never
has the ruler of e. people commenced his Government
under more favourable auspices.

DE. LIVINGSTONE.

Previously to the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Lee, the
missionaries, from Zanzibar, the latest news received
by the Royal Geographical Society from Dr. Kirk, at
Zanzibar, was dated March last. The intel-
ligence now brought is, therefore, three months
later. Mr. and Mrs. Lee met the Arab
who had seen Livingstone at Lake Tanganyika, but
It is not yet clear whether their statement adds any-
thing to our previous knowledge on the subject.
Within the last few days letters have arrived
from Zanzibar for Sir Roderick Murchison, but in
consequence of his absence from London their con-
tents are not yet known.

THE ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.
It is pointed out by a contemporary that the mere
passing of the Endowed Schools Bill has already
accomplished much. Christ's Hospital, which was a
citadel of old-fashioned education, which the admirers
of the dead languages declared never could or should
be stormed, has been the very first to capitulate.
Greek is to make way for German and chemistry, and
the governors declare themselves willing to admit all
sorts of modern ideas. The trustees of the important
schools at Bedford have also prepared an entirely new
scheme of management;
.the governing body will bo
regenerated, and the curriculum materially altered.

A CURIOUS RAILWAY.

The Portmadoc and Festiniog Railway is now
attracting much attention amongst scientific men.
This is a little line in North Wales, and was originally
constructed for the purpose of acting as a tramway
for slate and stone from the bills of 'Merionethshire
to the seashore. It is now being used as a regular
Foods and passenger line. The chief peculiarity in
its construction is that the g-uage is only two feet
broad. Hence, though the lino runs through a very
difficult country, the expenses of construction and
working are so small that the traffic yields the enor-
mous revenue of thirty per cent. The reason is sim-
ple enough. It is because the proportion between
the dead weight and paying weight is so much less
than upon other railways. The engine and tender
upon this line weigh about 10 tons, against 40 tons
upon the wider gauge of other lines. Instead of a
first-class carriage weighing 7:1 tons, to carry 32 pas-
sengers, and representing nearly 6 cwt. of dead weight
for each passenger, the carriages on the Festiniog
weigh only 30 cwt. for 12 passengers, or 21 cwt. for
each person carried. The Railway 2 etcs, without
going so far as to say that a two feet gauge will fur-
nish the railway of the future, is confident its
economy and efficiency will cause it to be extensively
adopted.
LORD STANLEY AND TUE WORKING MEN.

The Beehive expresses its sincere gratification at
Lord Stanley's speech to the Liverpool working men,
the other day. Working men, it says, may well
afford to forget for the moment the disagreements
which divide them into sets and parties, and to
accept with cordial recognition the support
which men of any party or set may feel at
liberty to accord them, even though what they
say should not be positive support so much as inde-
pendent criticism. With respect to the primary use
for which the New Trades Hall at Liverpool is
designed, the Beehive points out that the meeting of
working men in public-houses for the transaction of
business, has not been hitherto matter of choice, but
of necessity. The men had no other place to go to
whether for business or recreation.

MR. DARBY GRIFFITIT A: ID BRibtA LATER.

The ex-member for Devizea writes a leter in which
he complains of Mr. Baxter's conduct in the Bridg-
water petition of 18G5. The ComciD eof the House
of Commons, of which Mr. Baxter was chairman,
found that corrupt practices had extensively prevailed,
and unseated one of the members (Mr. 'W estropp).
For the first time for twelve or thirteen years, the
chairman declined to move for the issue of a Royal
Commission ; the Conservative whip thereupon
moved for a new writ. But Sir Harry Verney pro-
posed, and Mr. Griffith seconded, a motion that
an address be presented to the Crown for the
appointment of a Royal Commission, which,
however, was defeated. Says Mr. Griffith :
" Though his performance of an official duty was
clearly in question, Mr. Baxter did not venture to
appear in his place, and to state manfully and honestly
what were his motives for avoiding this duty." The
question, in the writer's opinion, remains, therefore,
how far the wilful suppression of the means especially
appointed for the further elucidation of corrupt prac-
tices by Mr. Baxter is compatible with the impartial
and honourable performance of a judicial duty so
solemnly entrusted to him.

THE FRENCH TREATY OF COMMERCE.

- -
The members of the Manchester Reform Club
have occupied themselves with a debate upon the
effects upon trade of the French Treaty of Com-
merce. In an address by Dr. Watts, statistics bearing on
the question were quoted to shew how much Eng-
land has really gained from the operation of that
treaty. His conclusions were that in the cotton trade,
and in every trade except the silk trade, considerable
advantage had been obtained by this country over
France. Even with regard to silk, the injurious
operation of the treaty was denied by a gentleman
pyeseilt, who sail that that trade had been depressed
since the yeariga2.

twenty-two years ago. On the death
propositionotlerth
Bishop of Hereford, Lord John Russel
Dr. Hampden for the vacant bishopric ;
which was strongly opposed by, anion°.
Bishops of London and. Winchester. The -Prseini e•
answered the objection by stating that if he withdreeaw
the recommendation, lie should virtually assent to the
doctrine that a decree of the University of Oxford
was a perpetual bar of exclusion against a clergyman
of eminent learning and irreproachable life ; and
" that, in fact, the supremacy which is now by law
vested in the Crown is to be transferred to a majo-
rity of the members of one of th 9 universig9g,"_ Ihtt

ITean-orrieleroixt roteetea against tae elevation cm
Dr. Hampden to the see, and asserted " that no
earthly consideration shall induce me to give my vote
in the Chapter of Hereford Cathedral for Dr. ITampden's
elevation to the see of Hereford." On November 28th,
1847, the election was proceeded with, when Dean
Mereweather protested that due inquiry ought to be
made into the charges preferred against the bishop--
designate by the University of Oxford, "or that the
Crown should present some more suitable person to
the see." When, however, the votes were taken, there
were fourteen for Dr. Hampden, and two against.
On the confirmation of the new bishop, on the 10th
of January, 1848, a protest was presented against the
proceedings, but the Commissioners declined to
receive it, on the ground that they were assembled
under a commission, signed by the Archbishop of
Canterbury. It remains to be seen whether the
Chapter of Exeter will follow the course adopted by
the Dean of Hereford, who eventually had to give
way to higher powers.

FOX-HUNTING.

Lana and Water, as might be expectea, waxes
exceedingly angry with the noteworthy article by Mr.
Freeman in the Fortnightly, declaring that field sports
are " disgusting cruelty," the very essence of which is
torture to the animals or birds sought after. Fox-hunt-
ing Mr. Freeman stigmatises most unsparingly. The
fox is hunted, he says, in order that ho may
give sport by his protracted sufferings.
Land and Water declares, in the first place, that a
fox-hunt engenders " a healthful spirit, moral and
physical ;" it "mingles different classes in an unobjec-
tionable manner;" improves the breed of horses,
benefits the agricultural interest, &c., &c. How any
moral
.purpose can be secured by fox-hunting the
enthusiastic weekly journal does not show ; nor
is it quite clear how " different classes are
mingled in an unobjectionable manner," except on the
principle that the company round a dinner-table and
the footmen behind the chairs are " mingled." But
Land and Water is not satisfied with claiming gene-
ral moral and physical benefit to the human race
from fox-hunting. It is not cruel. The fox shews
no terror, as Mr. Freeman says he does : far from
it, he rather likes a pack of hounds after him. He
then shares ",the stern joy that warriors feel at foe-
men worthy of their steel :"
We venture to state that taking all runs with all packs
of hounds in England, one with another, not ono hunted
fox in twenty is killed, and if he be killed, where is the
cruelty? Four or five of the fleetest hounds run into him.
We have been "in at the death" occasionally, and we
assert that no sign of abject terror or despair is displayed ;
rage and hate are manifest in every bristling hackle, and
we may fairly attribute to him some of those certinianis
gaudia Mr. Freeman quotes so often as felt by other beasts
Woe be to the hound that wins that dangerous race!
In brief, being hunted as a fox is such pleasant work
that it is quite surprising not to hear of the editor of
Land and Water trying a run himself.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TILE CRISIS IN SPAIN.

The Spanish Government has hastened to put the Sus
pensory Law into execution, and to carry out its restrictive
measures. The right of meeting is now forbidden inSpain.
All the clubs have been closedin Madrid and the provinces.
The Volunteers of Liberty have been disarmed in the prin-
cipal towns. Madrid has formed an exception to this rule,
because there the Volunteers have given proofs of their
desire to keep order. The telegraph, which is officially
watched, continues to give reassuring news as to the result
of the insurrection, and repeats its stereotyped phrase that
the insurgents. are everywhere defeated, and in many places
have given themselves up to the authorities.

This apparent security does not coincide with a wide- spread
impression that is entertained of the affair. No Republi-
can member appeared at the Cortes the day after the
Suspensory Law had been voted. Some of them had not
waited till it was passed before they put themselves at the
head of their armed confederates. The private informants
