A SCHOOL FOR ARTILLERY.

Some remarks made a short time since by the
Commander-in-Chief will, it is to be hoped, lead to
an alteration of some of our " showy " practices.
None of these is more absurd than the way in which
the artillery are trained. In order that they
may learn to use the big gun and become
acquainted thoroughly with their duties in battle,
they are taught to be good infantry men. Indeed, so
essential is it thought to be that they should know
something of the noise made by the cannon, that
garrison batteries have in some cases been divided
into sections, provided with carbines, and ordered to
fire these in volleys to represent the guns.
At least so it is stated. Since our large
guns have become so important, . it is certainly
only right that the men should be thoroughly taught
the use of them; and though it may be useful for,
them to know something of the carbine and of
infantry drill, yet their work is with the cannon, and
they should be taught that before everything else.

FOREIGN NOTES.

MR. MILL ON AMERICAN FINANCE.

A long letter from Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., appears in the
New York Nation. The member for Westminster earnestly
advocates the redemption of the American bonds in gold.
He shows that the argument founded upon greenbacks
being the legal tender of the United States, and that the
bondholder ought to have exceptional privileges, is worth-
less. All persons except the public creditor have the
remedy in their own hands. They can demand a higher
price both for goods and labour to compensate deprecia-
tion ; but the price paid to the bondholder is fixed. Mr.
Mill believes there is little danger that the immoral course
will be adopted. .

UNDUE INFLUENCE.

Mr. Hughes Brookes, a gentleman of independent
means, residing at Wiushill, near Burton-on-Trent,
has been committed for trial by the South Derbyshire
gleetotf intimidating a voter by
er. The defendant, who

was formerly a druggist at Burton, lent the com-
plainant, a shoemaker and shopkeeper at Stanton,
£lBO on a mortgage of freehold property worth £4OO.
Complainant voted for the Liberal • candidates
Lessrs. Evans and Colvile) at the last election.
ast July he received a letter from Mr. Brookes,
requesting him to promise his vote for the Conserva-
tive party. George Thornley, the complainant,
refused. Brookes wrote again, and the point of his
letter was this : "If you persist in your intention of
voting for Popery) you must excuse my stating that
I intend to remove my money from your rroperty,
and place it where it can assist Conservatism and.
Protestantism, and therefore request that within
fourteen days you will pay to ins about £8 165.,
being the amount of interest due ; and also, as it will
be needful to offer the property for sale by aucion,
whether you have any choice as to the auctioneer.'
Mr. Brookes should have remembered the proverb,
" Litera scripta maize." As it is, he will have to
take his trial under the recent Act. It is noteworthy
that the bench was divided, the chairman giving his
casting vote in favour of the committal. Mr. Brookes
will probably have the distinguished honour of
hoped
dg ample, and it is to be
oneas an
hstlellxcatpeleexwill be sufficient. It
will, not, however' be the fault of the Liberals of
Plymouth if they do not discover another.

CONSERV, T S3I A:=';l3 BURIAL CLIME'.

By all appearances we should think that " Consti-
tutionalism is at a low ebb in Bolton. It has often
been surmised how Conservative working men have
been manufactured, and at last we have a practical
solution of the problem. In order to swell the num-
bers voting for the Conservative candidates at the next
election for Bolton, a " Conservative Operative Sick
and Burial Association" has been formed, the members
of which are bound to vote for the Tory party, as
witness Rule 12 : "If any member of this associa-
tion, who entertains opinions, publicly speaks, or
votes at a borough, municipal, or other election,
contrary to the principles of Conservatism ; and if
such opinion, speech, or vote be proved by the
branch to which he belongs to be conscientious,
or wilfully done, such member will be reported to
the executive, and dealt with as they may see fit."
Supposing any delinquent be found guilty, "the com-
mittee shall have power to fine, suspend, or expel him,
as may seem most judicious, and the decision of such
committee shall be final and conclusive." This, then,
is how Conservative working men are manufactured.
As Mr. Samuel Pope has ably pointed out, it was not
done by -convincing their judgment, but by inducing
them by the hope of future benefit to enter an asso-
ciation, and, having got hold of their pockets, to
secure them by the-power of money. Are such prac-
tices " Constitutional ? "

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.--AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold-s, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes 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.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

GALLANT. CAPTURE OF, A. PAH.

A messenger arrived at Wellingtoiion the 24th August
with the intelligence that the pah of Te-Ngutu-o-to-Manu
had been captured on Friday, the 21st. The following
are the particulars :—" Two hundred and seventy men,
in two divisions, under the command of Colonel
M`Donrell, started for the pah at seven a.m. Major
Von Tempsky led the armed constabulary and Taranaki
volunteers. Buck's and Page's companies composed the
attacking force. There were no native allies engaged. The
pah was reached at ten a.m., the force thus taking only
three hours to thread their way through the bush from
Waihi, the base of operations, a distance of twelve miles.
Maori scouts were on the alert, and preparations had been
made to give our forces a warm reception. When within
twenty paces of the parapet, our troops poured in
a galling fire, and then rushed helter-skelter for
the pah, escaladed the breastwork, and gained a foot-
ing inside—one-half fairly establishing themselves
within the defences in a few minutes. The first man
killed was Wallace, who was shot through the head, and
died on the spot. The Maories fought bravely, but could
not stand against our men, who, armed with tomahawks,
revolvers, and long knives, made short work of it. The
whole attack lasted only twenty minutes, and in one hour
from its commencement not a vestige of the pah could be
seen. The Maories effected a good retreat, after nine
of them had fallen, and were able to carry off their
wounded. Three of our men were killed and eight
wounded—one of whom, H. Geary, has since died. The
killed are R. Wallace, Kerr, and Mackay. They were
attended by Dr. Walker on the field. At half-past eleven
o'clock Colonel M`Donnell commenced to march back,
when he found the enemy had concentrated on his rear,
and were keeping up a desultory fire. The fire was
returned, and ultimately the Maories retreated and allowed
our troops to retreat without further molestation.
M`Donnell arrived at Patea at midnight. The behaviour
of the force, both officers and men, was excellent."

CLERICAL POLIT:CIANS.

Cardinal Cullen adjures the burgesses of Dublin to
elect a Liberal lord mayor for the ensuing year. As
to the election of members of Parliament, he com-
mends Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy as putting an end
to Orange ascendancy, establishing the reign of
justice in the country, and introducing perfect
equality among all classes of her Majesty's subjects.
The Rev. Dr. Cooke, the well-known Presbyterian
clergyman of Belfast, now on his death-bed,has issued
an extraordinary address to the Protestant electors of
Ireland. He laments the abuses in the Church of Eng-
land, but he says : "I have been always able to overlook
the minor and non-essential points on which we
differ, and to recognise in her a noble branch of the
great Protestant tree, planted by the hands of the
Reformers. I have been able to hear, in the living
voice of her teachers, the testimony of that glorious
company of martyrs and confessors by whom a free
Bible and liberty of conscience were secured to
my country. For these reasons I stand by her."
He commends the Conservative candidates to the
electors, and concludes : "Fellow-Protestants, be
faithful to your country, to your religion, and to
your God. Be watchful against the insidious
advances of Popish error and despotism ; be united
in defence of liberty and truth : and He who ruleth
King of Nations will bless and prosper your cause.
Farewell !" These are the last words of a dying man.
Criticism must be' disarmed, and we can only
wonder.

the very primest qualities of beof thi•re was, as
heretofore, a ready sale at extreme rates, from their re-

MORNING SERVICE.

The Rev. R. Henning Parr, formerly secretary to
Archbishop Musgrave, and now vicar of St. Martin's,
Scarborough, a church erected to the memory of the
late Mr. Martin Craven by his daughters, writes to the
Times upon the subject of the services at his church. It
will be remembered that the curate had already
denied that these services were ritualistic or muti-
lated, although a correspondent of the Times had
taken alarm: Mr. Parr advocates the omission of the
Litany from the morning service, andthinks such omis-
sion not contrary to the spirit of the law, though it may
be to the strict letter. He wishes to have this matter
settled. He refers to a circular issued by the arch-
bishops and all the bishops in 1856, and thinks that
the omission was therein stated to be allowable. It
will be remembered that attention was first drawn to
the subject by Lord Ebuiy, who noticed with some
pain that his boys from school were rather restless
during morning service. He jumped at the conclu-
sion that there was something wrong, and found it,
not in his boys, but in the Prayer-book. Mr. Parr's
plan is now adopted in endless instances, and has
been recommended by the Bishop of London. The
letter of the rev, gentleman proves that he is not one
of those who defy authority.

THE POOR, THE POOR LAW, AND THE PUBLIC.
The recess is always fruitful of discussions on the
poor law. This recess now nearly ,concluded has
been no exception to the general rule. The phase of
the question to which the Times directed attention is
that of the way voluntary contributions should be
made to supplement the money dispensed by the
guardians. A suggestion was made that the guardians
should give only to the strictly pauper class, the casual
pauper being relieved by voluntary contributions.
The objection which was made on the score of the
irresponsibility of voluntary relief, is now met by
Mr. H. Carre Tucker, C. 8., who suggests that both
funds should be dispensed by the guardians, the
official fund being used for relief merely to the con-
firmed paupers, the other for setting up broken
down workmen, for providing tools, fruit, or
clothe?, as the case may be, for those who
are able and willing to work for their
living in the future. But if such a fund as
this is necessary, why should it not be raised,
as at present, by rates ? It is but the old fight
between voluntary and State aid. In the matter of
the support of the poor it has, one would think, by
this time been conceded on every side that the relief
of the poor must be given from the rates.

NORTON'S 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 aro subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that 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-
cumstances, 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. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in

RUSSIA.

The most lamentable details of the social state of Russia
are given by the Press of Vienna. The market is repre-
sented to be bad. Incendiary fires are increasingly
numerous, and occur on days fixed in advance by anony-
mous letters addressed to owners and residents. The
Government has been compelled to discharge a great
number of subaltern employ6s, and these latter public
opinion accuses of having robbed the public treasury.
Thus, 450,000 roubles (4f. each) were abstracted from the
General Receiver's office at \Vladimir, 5c,000 from that of
Riazan, and 45,000 from the fund at Moscow. At the
last fair of Nijni-Novogorod forged notes of fifty roubles
were circulated so abundantly that the merchants, who
had come from all countries to this commercial market,
sustained considerable losses. The State itself is a victim
of these forgeries, for the public treasuries swarm with
false paper.

REM ARIC S.

Since last evening barometrical pressure has very rapidly diminished
on all coasts, except in the W. of Ireland, where during the night the
decrease has ceased : at Nairn also a slight rise is observed since one
a.m. There has been a change of nearly eight-tenths of an inch on
the N. and E. coasts since yesterday : at Nairn the reading is 113 in.
below that at Biarritz. Temperature has fallen on the W. coasts : at
other stations it has risen rapidly—especially in the S. of England. A
south-westerly gale was felt yesterday in these islands ; its force was
most violent in the Irish Sea and in the S.W. of Ireland. The
gale is still blowing very violently at several stations, but its direction
is W. and N.W. Very heavy rain has fallen—principally in the S.W.
The weather is cloudy, except on the E. coast, and it appears still
unsettled. The sea is rough at Cape Clear. Warnings were issued
last evening to all coasts.

MR. MILNER GIBSON ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

Still the Irish Church. The one subject uppermost
in the minds of all public men is this one. It is
quite a relief to turn from this to Lord Napier
of Magdala at Portsmouth, for instance, or to
the manly utterances of the Marquis of Salisbury on
India. But the talking about the Irish Church must
inevitably be done. Mr. Milner Gibson went the
right way to work at Ashton on Tuesday. He said
he had little new to say, but it was necessary to
say it, because " great political truths ought to be
repeated again and again, in order to make an im-
pression upon that solid and dense mass of prejudice
which they knew too often existed in this country."
He then went over the arguments, comparing Scot-
land with Ireland, criticising the report of the
royal commission, and claiming that the Liberal
policy was the truly national one.
MILL, THE COUNTRY'S CONSCIENCE-KEEPER.

Mr. Samuel Warren Burton writes to Mr. Mill to
ask him certain questions about his subscription to
Mr. Bradlaugh's election fund. Mr. Mill gives his
reasons for subscribing. He wishes the working
classes to be represented, and he hopes the new
Parliament will see the " commencement of measures
calculated to improve the material and social condition
of the mass of the people ; and this cannot be ex-
pected unless the suffering as well as the prosperous
classes are represented in the House, and represented
by men who are capable of making their voices
heard," There is no doubt that Mr. Bradlaugh is
quite , capable of making " his voice heard,"
and it is probable that he would be a very
noisy and disagreeable member; but that he would
represent the working classes is more than doubtful.
Mr. Burton is anything but satisfied that Mr. Mill
should support a confirmed atheist. Mr. Mill has a

CLERICAL POLITICIANS.

Cardinal Cullen adjures the burgesses of Dublin to
elect a Liberal lord mayor for the ensuing year. - As
to the election of members of Parliament, he com-
mends Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy as putting an end
to Orange ascendancy, establishing the reign of
justice in the country, and introducing perfect
equality among all classes of her Majesty's subjects.
The Rev. Dr. Cooke, the well-known Presbyterian
clergyman of Belfast, now on his death-bed,has issued
an extraordinary address to the Protestant electors of
Ireland. He laments the abuses in the Church of Eng-
land, but he says : "I have been always able to overlook
the minor and non-essential points on which we
differ, and to recognise in her a noble branch of the
great Protestant tree, planted by the hands of the
Reformers. I have been able to hear, in the living
voice of her teachers, the testimony of that glorious
company of martyrs and confessors by whom a free
Bible and liberty of conscience were secured to
my country. For these reasons I stand by her."
He commends the Conservative candidates to the
electors, and concludes : "Fellow-Protestants, be
faithful to your country, to your religion, and, to
your God. Be watchful against the insidious
advances of Popish error and despotism ; be unitecl
in defence of liberty and truth : and He who ruleth
King of Nations will bless and prosper your cause.
Farewell !" These are the last words of a dying man.
Criticism must be disarmed, and we can only
wonder.

THE HOME SECRETARY IN EARNEST. .

Earnestness in politics is commendable, especially
as it is rare in some very notable cases. The Home
Secretary is an earnest man, but carries his zeal a
little too far. He attended a meeting at Rye on
behalf of his son's candidature, and at the close of
a long speech, amidst thunders of applause, is
reported to have said: "Be deterred by no intimi-
dation, be corrupted by no inducement, but give
your votes- honestly and conscientiously, so that
when you lay your heads on your dying pillow
you may say, ' I did my duty at a great
and vital crisis in the face of my country and
my God l' " Mr. Ihrdy must have taken his. cue
from the dying manifesto of Dr. Cooke, the Presby-
terian minister of Belfast. Let us hope that when
the dread summons comes to us all, we may have
some better 'recollections of our past life to console
us than the thought that we have " voted straight,"
and that the wretched machinery of party strife may
not obscure a clearer view of those great ends for
which it is to be hoped we all strive.

ENGLISH FINANCING IN BELGIUM.

If we may believe the persons involved in the
44 Affaire Doulton," there never was a more persecuted
company then the " Public Works Company" of
Brussels. That organisation has buffeted huge waves
that would have overwhelmed aweaker one. Engineer-
ing impossibilites have been conquered ; financial
difficulties innumerable have been overcome ; and now,
when it is on its way to prosperity, it is metby a per-
secution from the men of Brussels, who, forreasonsnot
stated, are enVyig its likelihood of success. These
men first attempt to ruin the company by making
extortionate demands, then turn round, com-
mit perjury, charge the directors with breaches
of agreement (which are certainly not the
best which might be made on the part of the
company), and bring further charges of fraud against
them. The charges are heard in a court where the
defendant cannot substantiate his facts or sufficiently
cross-examine the • witnesses. Nevertheless, be it
noted, that Mr; Doulton and his friends hope to sur-
mount even this big wave.

MORNING SERVICE.

The Rev. R. Henning Parr, formerly secretary to
Archbishop Musgrave, and now vicar of St. Martin's,
Scarborough, a church erected to the memory of the
late Mr. Martin Craven by his daughters, writes to the
Times upon the subject of the services at his church. It
will be remembered that the curate had already
denied tha.t-tivise services were ritualistic or muti-
lated, although a correspondent of the Times had
taken alarm. Mr. Parr advocates the omission of the
Litany from the morning service, andthinks such omis-
sion not contrary to the spirit of the law, though it may
be to the strict letter. He wishes to have this matter
settled. He refers to a circular issued by the arch-
bishops and all the bishops in 1850, and thinks that
the omission was therein stated to be allowable. It
will be remembered that attention was first drawn to
the subject by Lord Ebury, who noticed with some
pain that his boys from school were rather restless
during morning service. He jumped at the conclu-
sion that there was something wrong, and found it,
not in his boys, but in the Prayer-book. Mr. Parr's
plan is now adopted in endless instances, and ham
been recommended by the Bishop of London. The
letter of the rev. gentleman proves that he is not one
of those who defy authority.
THE POOR, THE' POOR LAW, AND THE PUBLIC.

The recess is always fruitful of discussions on the
poor law. This recess now nearly concluded has
been no exception to the general rule. The phase of
the question to which the Times directed attention is
that of the way voluntary contributions should be
made to supplement the money dispensed by the
guardians. A suggestion was made that the guardians
should give only to the strictly pauper class, the casual
pauper being relieved by voluntary contributions.
The objection which was made on the score of the
irresponsibility of voluntary relief, is now met by
Mr. 11. Carre Tucker, C. 8., who suggests that both
funds should be dispensed by the guardians, the
official fund being used for relief merely to the con-
firmed paupers, the other for setting up broken
down workmen, for providing tools, fruit, or
clothes', as the case may be, for those who
are able and willing to work for their
living in the future. But if such a fund as
this is necessary, why should it not be raised,
as at present, by rates ? It is but the old fight
between voluntary and State aid. In the matter of
the support of the poor it has, one would think, by
this time been conceded on every side that the relief
of the poor must be given from the rates.

SPAIN.

Diplomatic relations with Spain are being renewed by
all the principal Governments of Europe. The intelli-
gence that Prussia and Italy have opened communications
with the Provisional Government is confirmed by the
Ilfoniteur. The Papal Nuncio also has " accepted the
position." The Ambassadors of England and France and
the Portuguese Minister have been in communication
with the Secretary of State since the 23rd inst.
The refusal of King Ferdinandof Portugal to accept the
Spanish crown in case it is offered to him is further con-
firmed by the Times correspondent. When the matter
was first mooted, the bird-fancying prince is said to have
remarked " I am not so foolish."

The clergy seem disposed to take advantage of
universal suffrage to make another effort on behalf of
their privileges. One priest addressed his flock during
mass, exhorting them to defend their religion and support
the "charitable Queen Isabella of BOurbon."
Many indications help to prove that the Revolution
changed not only the Government, but everything else in
Spain. At the great meeting in favour of the abolition
of slavery, ladies took part in the proceedings; an occurrence
hitherto unknown in the Peninsula.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold., confirmed cases of asthma. and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi ovokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-

thin, may depend on relief in a few minutes after

PROFESSOR BEESLY ON THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

The National Sunday League have obtained in the
person of Professor Beesly a champion who will fight.
He does not mince matters. The other day he pre-
sided at a meeting of the League, held in Marylebone.
He declared that the origin of the Sabbath was much
misunderstood. "It was founded (we quote the
reports which appear in the morning papers), by
great statesmen in ages gone by. Ho had no reason
to doubt that there was such a man as Moses, with
whose name its institution was usually connected ;
nor did he doubt that Moses was a man of a far
higher type of grandeur than it was possible in these
days to conceive. Those great statesmen found
their people sunk in barbarism, and they desired
to raise them to something better. If they
wanted men to practise personal cleanliness, to
abstain from unwholesome diet, or to give up hurt-
ful practices, they knew well that it would be useless
to reason with them. They therefore adopted the
wise and sensible course of assuming that there was
a Supernatural Being, and that that Being would
punish those who disobeyed his precepts. In that
way habits were formed which lasted long after the
sanction on which they rested had been forgotten."
So the Sabbath had been founded, not for a religious
reason, but that the people might have one day of
rest. This, he thought, was good. He would give
all these employed in museums and theatres rest by
the establishment of a Friday holiday. This was the
solution offered by the Catholic Church, and. he
thought it met the difficulty.
ST. JAMES'S CHAPEL, LEIGHTON.

A summons has been granted against the man who
caused the disturbance at St. James's, Brighton, and
he may find to his cost that it is not the duty of
private individuals to supplement the action of the
bishops and the ecclesiastical courts by brawling in
church. The Ritualists surely have the right to the
benefit of the Act against disturbing congregations--
a right which belongs to any sect of Dissenters. When
the roughs of St. George's-in-the-East threw the has-
socks about the church as a demonstration in favour of
Protestantism, the authorities of the day sacrificed
the Rev. Bryan King in deference to them. Things
have changed since then ; and be the Ritualists right
or wrong, the law will take care to protect them from
such brutal fanatics. It is evident that some people
take pleasure in being shocked, or it would occur to
them to be the most reasonable course to keep away
from these services and attend others more to their
taste. There is variety enough to please the most
exacting and fastidious.

MILITARY NURSING.

A contemporary contains the following : " Sir
John Pakington has expressed his intention of supplying
military hospitals with the most perfect system
of female nursing, and arrangements have been made
with the Nightingale Committee for the education, at St.
Thomas's Hospital, of a certain number of nurses
'specially with this object. After many remonstrances
'on the part of the military authorities at Woolwich,
Sir John Pakington has consented to change the system
of beating the sick in the Herbert Hospital. From the
Ist of November the regimental plan of work will com-
mence, and each medical officer will assume the charge of the
sick men of his own battery or brigade. It is not intended
at present to interfere with the general organisation of the
hospital under the governor, although doubtless many
alterations will be necessary before a satisfactory com-
bination of regimental and general systems can be ob.
tamed."
