the Royal Speech on the prorogation, for the good govern-
ment and extension of public schools, has just been issued,
and, in 32 sections, works out the preamble, reciting
that the commissioners appointed in 1861 had in their
report recommended various changes in the government,

view to promote their greater efficiency, but such changes
could not be carried out without the authority of Par-
liament. As to Eton, Winchester, Westminster, Char-
terhouse, Harrow, Rugby, and Shrewsbury Schools,
" governing bodies " are to possess certain powers to
make statutes, which are to be submitted to the special
commissioners named in the Act, and to be laid before the
Queen in Council. On and after tha Ist January, 1870,
the powers of the governing bodies are to vest in the
special commissioners, and they may make statutes
and make regulations where the governing bodies had
failed. Their office is only to continue for a limited period.
Among the powers given is one to remove schools to other
sites. The special commissioners named in the Act are
the Archbishop of York, the Marquis of Salisbury, the
Right Hon. Russell Gurney, Sir John Lubbock, Sir John
G. Shaw•Lefevre, Mr. Coleridge, M.P., and Mr. Charles
Stuart Parker.

A proposal is under the consideration of the Bri-
tish Government for the appointment of a bishop for the
army, instead of a chaplain-general as at present. The
bishop would have episcopal powers at all stations to
which English soldiers are liable to be sent where there
's no bishop.

MURDER AT KIMBOLTON.

A murder has been committed at Stoneley, near Kim.
bolton, Hunts, in a cottage within 100 yards of the resi-
dence of his Grace the Duke of Manchester. At the inquest,
before W. C. J. Mellor, deputy coroner, it appeared that the
victim of the outrage was an old woman 88 years old, and
that her murderer was her son, a stalwart labourer, about
50. The son has been abandoned by his wife, and has
taken refuge in the miserable hovel occupied by his
mother. The accused, now confined in the County of
Huntingdon Prison, is named George Leeton. On the night
of the 30th ult. the son went home about eleven o'clock ;
his mother, who slept in a bed upon the same floor, had
then retired to rest, the poor old woman being very ill.
The following morning a daughter-in-law went in early,
and found her mother dead. She was lying across the
bed in a slanting direction, with her face buried in
a pillow and a quilt fastened tightly round her neck. The
son was sitting quietly by. When taken into custody he
coolly observed, " She hit me first." Mr. Sprague, sur-
geon, who made a post-mortem examination of the body,
told the jury on Tuesday that in his opinion the deceased
died from violence; that she was rendered partly insensible
by the blows received ; and that her death was completed
by suffocation. A labourer who works with Leeton stated
that the accused had said that he would not maintain his
mother, and that the relieving officer had said she would
have to go into the union. The jury returned a verdict of
wilful murder against the son.

FEMALE NOVEL READERS.—A confirmed female
novel reader has many of the habits of a drunkard. She
cannot do without the novel any more than he can do
without his glass. She will neglect necessary work just
as he neglects his business. She is just as irritated if you
remonstrate with her as he is if you rebuke him, She
sinks into a feverish, excited, indolent habit of mind, very
like the habit of his body, And why? Simply because,
as he has made his stimulus and refreshment a necessary
food, so also has she, Me wants excitement without

THE CIVIL WAR IN VENEZUELA.

The correspondent of the New York Herald gives the
following account of the battle between the troops
of General Monagas and General Bruzual, in Venezuela :
"On the 22nd ultimo General Monagas (Jose Tadeo)
attacked General Bruzual's forces at Chacao, a small
village a few leagues from Caracas, and after an obstinate
fight of four hours' duration obtained quite an important
victory. Monagas' ai my numbered about 3,300 men, formed
into two divisions. Bruzual's army scarcely amounted to
2,500 men, commanded by bins in person, the next in
command being General Aristeguieta,. The division
leaders wore Cenern.la Rafael Marquez and Leon Culina.
After his victory at Chacao, General Monagas
pressed on to Caracas, and on the evening of
the same day attacked the place. On the 23rd
ult. the Genuinos entered the city of Caracas,
when a terrific and sanguinary fight ensued, lasting
through three entire days, the 23rd, 24th, and
25th. The whole number of killed and wounded on
both sides, from the most reliable information, was about
2,500. The fighting was hand to hand in nearly all
the streets ; the fiercest struggle, however, took place at
the cathedral. Here a party of Bruzualists had taken
possession of the towers of the edifice, and from them
poured a galling fire on their assailants. They were
finally-dislodged, however, and on the evening of the 25th
General Monagas was master of the city. General Colina,
Bruzual's general-in-chief, was wounded and taken pri-
soner.

LA TTY REPORTING.

The report of the council of law reporting, just issued,
says that the receipts for prepaid subscriptions in 1866
amounted to £20,334 18s. ; in 1867 to £21,870 16s. 4d.
During these two years the further sum of £503 16s. 7d.
was received for interest on temporary investments.
Credit is also taken for the sum of £1,253 ss. ld ;
this is the amount of the net balances up to the 31st
December, 1867. The total amount thus realised
during the years 1866-67 was £43,954 16s. The sums
received for prepaid subscriptions during the current
year, up to the 30th of June, 1868, amount to £21,022 6s„
and this sum will be increased by the amount which will
be due from the agents of Messrs. Clowes in India, the
colonies, and America at the end of the year. The
council at the commencement of their proceedings based
their engagements upon the result of a three years' trial.
The special guarantee of the first moiety of the salaries of the
editors and reporters in aid of the subscription list was
for three years. This guarantee has never been called into
operation, and is now at an end. The three years'
experience which the council have now had of the income
which the law reports has yielded seem to them to justify
the conclusion that these reports, if properly conducted,
will yield a permanent income of at least £21,000 per
annum ; and that such income will probably increase, if
the principle of the bar scheme be adhered to, and inde-
pendent professional control be maintained as the main-
spring of management. Although the council regard the
continuance of the large professional support they have
hitherto received as evidence that the Law Reports, as
hitherto published, are on the whole satisfactory, they are
by no means insensible to the fact that they are still
capable of improvement ; and, profiting by the three years
of experience, the council will direct close attention to the
future efficiency of the reports. Sir Roundell Palmer is
chairman of the council.

LITERATURE, SCIENCE, ART, &Cf

The Athenaum has the following announcements:—
A project is on foot for erecting a suitable monument
at Bristol to Bally, the sculptor.—Mr. Alexander J.
Ellis has just discovered that one Hare, a linguistia
author of the Elizabethan era, is a fiction, and that
the works were written by John Hart.

In the Orchestra appear the following items :
We hear that the new piece by Mr. Edmund Yates,
to be produced at the Prince of Wales Theatre,
is entitled " Tame Cats."—One of Rossini's last
compositions was a fanfare for military band, entitled
" La Corona d'ltalia," designed for performance by
the bands of the garrison at the Pitti Palace,
Florence,in presence of the King.—lt is stated that an
opera in one act is shortly to be produced at Prague,
written by Gluck, and very little known, called " The
Magical Tree." It was composed for a gala represen-
tation, which was composed on the occasion of the
marriage of the Dauphin with Marie Antoinette.
The King of Bavariahas withdrawn his pension from
the poet Geibel, for writing a poem to welcome
the
novelist, has written to the King that he shares
Geibel's political sentiments, and resigns his pension.
The King of Prussia has given Geibel the same
amount of pension which the King of Bavaria has
withdrawn from him.
THE COMIC SONGt.
For some time it has been a subject for wonder
that any sane people can listen to the idiotic drivel-
lings of the modern so-called comic song. Yet it is
a fact that the greatest rubbish is the most popular,
and that the singers of these songs—men generally
without a spark of education, refinement, or humour,
and even with very poor voices—make a fortune.
Here is a specimen of the latest comic song:—

Pretty little Flora serves behind the bar
Bass's bitter ales and porter ;
lounge there all the day, and I cannot get away
For it breaks my heart to leave my little Flora

The writer has attained. perfection in this effusion
that is, he has ignored rhyme, reason, and wit mord
absolutely than any of his predecessors.
London, England, 1868-11-09

THE MINISTRY.

Mr. Disraeli, it is said, still " hopes." And his
14 hope " is that he may keep office till February.
Notwithstanding the early issue of the writs, he
" hopes " by another " dodge " to hold on for a time.
And the dodge is both clever and legitimate. He
" hopes " that Mr. Gladstone may be defeated in
South Lancashire. Not altogether impossible. And
he has, after strenuous exertion, got a candidate
to fight his " particular opponent at Greenwich.
He hopes to beat him there. knd then, Parliament
meeting so very early, Mr. Gladstone will be without
a seat. Consequently, the Premier " hopes" that the
Liberal party will not act without their leader in the
House. They will adjourn the matter over the
Christmas recess, and " there you are."
Lord Stanley is putting off the evil day as long as
he can. He will not address his constituents until
nomination clay, and then we may be sure he will
say as little as possible on the Irish Church. He,
the most successful member of the Cabinet, is in the
most embarrassing position of all. He cannot
support the Disraeli-Hardy programme with
regard to the Irish Church, and he therefore
shrinks from all mention of it. It is even
rumoured that he has besought his colleagues not to
go out on that question, but to allow themselves to be
beaten on the choice of a Speaker, so that he may
retire from office uncommitted to the suicidal No-
surrender cry. But this is held to be impossible ; at
least, it would be such cowardice on the part of Mr.
Disraeli and his lieutenant, Mr. Hardy, that it ought
to he impossible.
London, England, 1868-11-09

SIR ROBERT PEEL.

Sir Robert Peel, when Secretary for Ireland, made
a rapid tour through the country in a jaunting car,
and came down to the House and declared that ho
found Ireland most prosperous and contented. His
second impression of that tour is very different from
his first. He has just been telling his constituents at
Tamworth. what terrible sights he saw, especially
in Galway; and now he attributes all the misery to
the spoliation of the Catholic landowners 200 years
ago. He is quite revolutionary in talking upon this
subject. He suggests that the great London com-
panies should be compelled to give up their estates
about Londonderry, and that Trinity College, Dublin,
should have to make a like surrender of its property.
In fact, he goes far beyond Mr. Bright on the land
question. But he is very shy about the Church.
He declines to commit himself, and says only that
he support Mr. Gladstone as far as he can. The
trot , that Sir Robert is such a strong anti-
Papist (which is a very different thing from being a
Protestant) that he cannot bear the idea of doing
anything which will, as he thinks, place the Protestant
religion in a worse, and the Popish religion in a
better, position than they occupy now.

ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will

is consequently rather a brisk trade at fully our quota-

THE EPISCOPAL APPOINTMENTS.

The John Bull strongly urges upon Mr. Disraeli to
appoint Bishop Wilberforce to the archbishopric
of Canterbury, and Archdeacon Denison (a letter-
writer and leader-writer in the John Bull) to the
bishopric of Oxford. If Mr. Disraeli means to take
our contemporary's advice, we may be certain that
we shall hear nothing of the appointments until
after the elections are over. Two such selections
coming together would convert what Macaulay called
" the bray of Exeter Hall" into a shout of execration
that would be wipleasant on nomination day, still
More unpleasan6 on polling-day. Dr. Harold Browne,
Bishop of Ely, is much spoken of as a likely
man for the metropolitan see. He would
probably give the least dissatisfaction of any man
on the bench. The Low Church party in his
I• diocese claim him as a friend; the High Church
party generally believe that at least he is not an
enemy. He is a scholar, a theologian, and in every
way superior to another prelate who has been spoken
of—Dr. Jackson, of Lincoln. If he were translated
there are a good many Cantabs who would like to
see Dean Goodwin take his place. But it is under-
stood that the royal veto has been recorded against
the Dean. So there is no hope of promotion for a man
who certainly deserves it a hundred times more than
Mr. Prothero, the Court chaplain at Osborne.

EXIT

We have a startling announcement to make. Mr.
Murphy has retired from the candidature of Man-
chester, not, however without a care for his
would-have-been constituents. He has made
every inquiry, and he states that he is
perfectly satisfied with the character of Messrs.
Hoare and Birley, the Conservative candidates.
He recommends these, therefore, to Manchester.
Would that it were a final exit of Mr. Murphy from
public attention, and that the play in which he has
too long acted were over. But, unhappily, though he
leaves us in the character of candidate for
Manchester, he is only too likely to come back
again in the more hateful one of Protestant
agitator. In the one case it is broad farce,
and one can laugh, knowing that he will do no harm.
But riots ending in death are serious affairs, and in
their efforts to suppress the cause it is hoped that the
I magistracy will be successful.

MR. JAMES GRANT.

The gentleman who has been permitted to reveal
to the world the wonders of the seventh heavens,
which it was forbidden to an Apostle to declare—the
gentleman who is permitted also to exercise the far
higher privilege of defending the cause of the publicans
and the victuallers—has just published a new book.
The author of "OurHeavenlyHome," and the editor of
the Morning Advertiser, has written a work, of which
we can hardly say that it ought to be in everybody's
hands. We would rather say that it ought to be
under everybody's feet. The subject is " The Reli-
gious Tendencies of the Times, and How to Deal with
Them." The tendencies are, in the opinion of the
gin-men's advocate, very loose indeed, and he makes
very short work of them. The man who hopes that
God in his mercy will find some means of restoring
the wicked, has, says Mr. Grant, the mark of the beast
upon his forehead. Men like Professor Maurice are
traitors in the Christian camp, who betray Chris-
tianity as Judas betrayed its founder. Dean Stanley
is a semi - infidel, the abettor of flagrant
immorality. Even the Low Church clergy do not
escape. Mr. Minton, who believes that the wicked
will be destroyed, excites the wrath of the beer-
house oracle, and is told that he holds views " most
awful" and ‘‘ most repulsive." Mr. Birks, a senior
wrangler, one of the few men of intellect among the
Low Church party, is denounced, apparently for
being " intellectual"—a crime in the eyes of Mr. Grant.
Dean Alford is something indescribably bad. All
the chief writers of the day, the men who have any
real hold on the people—are held up to reproach. No
doubt there are but two men blameles6l—tho editor 01
the Record and the editor of the Advertiser. These
are the salt of the earth, these who turn religion into
libel. One of whom, having done his best to
muddle men's brains by beer, endeavours to stunt
their souls with a theology that is of the devil.

self to this constituency in the Conservative interest

for Wenlock, in opposition to General Forester. Mr. Evans
is a member of the Reform Club, and is armed with a letter
of recommendation from Mr. John Bright.
BOSTON.-Mr. J. W. Malcolm, the Conservative sitting
member, has issued a lithographed circular to the electors
informing them that the state of Mrs. Malcolm's health neces-
sitates her immediate removal to a warmer climate, and that
in consequence be cannot possibly bo present at the approach-
ing election. Mr. Malcolm's election is to be attended to by
his brother. The Liberal condidates—Mr. Mason Jones and
Mr. M. Staniland -have been prosecuttng their canvass
with great energy.

TYNEMOUTIL—A new Conservative candidate has inti-
mated his intention of contesting this borough. Captain
Harby Barber, RN., has put himself forward as a candidate
for the suffriges of the electors in the interests of consti-
tutionalism.

liAvros.—Tha correspondent of the Chester Courier
writos that Mr. Odger will oppose Mr. Fitzwilliam, at
Melton. The Courier treats the rumour as a hoax, and
states that there has not been a contest there fur sixty
years.

BARNSTAPLE.—A Conservative candidate has come for-
ward in the person of Mr. Win. Abbott, who has issued

an address.

The Railway News understands that with ono
trifling exception the whole of the claims arising out of the
late accident on the London and North Western at Aber-
gale have been settled without any resort to litigation, The
amount paid for compensation has been very much smaller
than any of the bums which have been previously guessed
at or rumoured. The engine of the mail train has been
repaired and reported fit for work, and is, we believe, now
running upon the line. The cost of its repair was not over
£5OO, and the repair and reconstruction of the other in-
jured carriages and waggons has not exceeded £4,000. The
entire cost of the accident is not one-•tenth of the sum, anti-
cipated.
