EDUCATIONAL RETURNS.

It is certainly most needful that just now the
educational and the criminal returns should be correct.
If we mistake not, we are entering upon a period in
which both these subjects will engage attention.
Education especially has been set down as the political
battle-ground of the future ; and that annual panic
which sets in about this time, and continues until after
Christmas, rising or falling in its intensity as the.
" rough " is daring or cowardly, will want something
given to it inthe wayof either greater protection, more
strict repression, or both. For legislation, informa-
tion is required. As to education, for instance, it has
long been the cry that it is "ignorance produces
crime." And the criminal returns attest it. But if
we may believe the Pall Mall Gazette these returns
cannot by any means be relied on. In analysing
the imperfectly educated and the ignorant among
the criminals at a very " black " assize, it was
discovered that several of superior education were set
down with an " N.;" that is to say, without education.
Surely this is a matter on which something might be
done to ensure accuracy. If these returns are so
imperfect, where shall we look for anything like
accuracy ?

LORD PALMERSTON ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

Much capital has been made by the Conservative
party out of a speech by Lord Palmerston,. made in
the second decade of the present century, in which,
pleading for the admission of Roman Catholics to
Parliament, he spoke of the madness, the disloyalty,
and the wickedness of destroying the Protestant
Church. From this speech one is left to infer that
his lordship was opposed to disendowment. Here
are some expressions of the noble lord, made
in 1834, which will dissipate any such illusion.
Replying to Lord Stanley (Earl Derby), who had
spoken very strongly against a commission to inquire
into the Irish Church, Lord Palmerston said:
" The Government had made up their minds to act
on the principle that Parliament was competent to
regulate the revenues of the Church. . . . It
was his distinct and deliberate opinion that
it was the right of the State to deal with the
trust of the property of the Church. It was idle to
argue from one species of property—i.e., private
property and Church property—to the other, for the
circumstances under which each originated were
totally distinct. Neither did he conceive that the
arguments which justified a reform of the Irish
Church could by possibility apply to the English
Church ; for the two countries were placed under
totally dissimilar circumstances. The Government"
(which had issued the commission) " were perfectly
united on the subject, and he was only anxious
to state his adherence to the principles he had laic
down."

" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient.; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-

THE FENIANS IN PRISON.

We have heard very much of the sufferings of
Fenian prisoners, who, having been guilty of the
highest offences against the Queen's Majesty and the
laws of the land, expected to be treated as State Pri-
soners, and obiftted. to the indisnittes Au witir4
o. cA.pre,ortu. xue irisn papers now state tnat
when Captain Mackay's wife, after an enforced sepa-
ration of several months, was admitted to an inter-
view with her husband, the prison diet and prison
rules had so affected his appearance that she hardly
knew him again—he had grown so fat. Since the day
when Chief Justice Whiteside sentenced Burke to be
hung and quartered, the Fenians must confess that
the law, so severe in theory, has been merciful in
application.

MR. MILL DZT lII,S RELIGION,

Once again Mr. Mill has been interrogated as to his
religious opinions. A canvasser, who has found it difficult
to deny that he is an atheist, has written to ask him to do
so for himself. " I suppose the persons who call me an
atheist are the same who are impudently asserting that
Mr. Gladstone is a Roman Catholic. I should think my
friends in Westminster must by this time be aware that
Tories, in election times, stick at nothing. An attempt
was made to raise the same cry against me at my first
election, and the defence which I did not choose to make
for myself was made for me by several eminent
dignitaries of the Church of England. At that time
I declared my deliberate determination on principle not
to answer any questions whatever respecting my religious
creed, because I acknowledge no right in anyone to ask
them, and becau e I owe it to future candidates and to the
interest of future constituencies not to encourage a prac-
tice the effect of which would be that when no objection
can be found to a candidate's character or political
opinions, attempts would be made to extract from himself
materials for raising a religious prejudice against him,
which is often easiest stirred up against the best men.
I think I shall act most rightly, and most in confor-
mity to my principles, by adhering to this declaration.
If anyone again tells you that I am an atheist, I would
advise you to ask him how he knows, and in what page of
my numerous writings he finds anything to bear nut the
assertion. You will find he has nothing at all to say. ff
he talks about my subscription for Mr. Bradlaugh,
he should be asked whether he thinks the working
men of Northampton who have adopted Mr. Bradlaugh
as their candidate, or the members of the Reform
League who elected him one of their council, are all
atheists."

TIIE EXPIRING PARLIAMENT.

In the three sessions of the late I)&sliamel,
the House of Commons has sat on 360 days. In the
session of 1866 it sat on 114 days, and the sittings occu-
pied 804 hours and 34 minutes, averaging seven hours
and three minutes for each sitting. In the session of
1867 the House sat on 128 days, and the sittings
occupied 1,043 hours and one minute, averaging eight hours
and nine minutes for each sitting. In the session of 1867-68
the House sat on 118 days, and the sittings occupied 842
hours and twenty minutes, averaging seven hours
and eight minutes for each sitting. In the three
sessions of its existence, therefore, the House of
Commons has sat within five minutes of 2,690 hours.
Nearly 284 of the hours were after midnight. The figures
are taken from returns printed by order of the House, but
they seem rather higher than the exact facts warrant; for
when, towards the end of a session, the House has met
early and suspended its sitting for a couple of hours for
dinner, the two hours appear to have been counted in,
becauseby a parliamentary fiction the House was still sitting.
The House of Commons divided 412 times ; 80 atilt in
1866, 164 times in 18;7, 178 times in 1867-68. So great
was the interest taken in the business of the House, that
every session had a division at which 600 members or
more were in the House. On the 27th April,
1866, on the second reading of the Reform Bill of Earl
Russell's Ministry, G3G members were present at Vie
division. On the 11th June, 1866, on the contest'
between rateable value and clear value, there were 621
members in the House. On the 12th of April, 1867, on
the question whether personal rating should be a condition
of the franchise, there were 604 members in the House.
On the 3rd of April, 1868, on the first vote of the dis-
establishment of the Irish Church, there were 605 mem-
bers present ; and a majority of the whole House voted
for disestablishment. On the 30th of April, in committee,
there were 600 members present, and again a majority of
the whole House voted for disestablishment.

A BRAVE MAN.

There are cases in which courage degenerates into
bravado, and circumstances in which the bravest
man may gracefully yield to an adverse fate. When
Napoleon fled from Waterloo, honour did not call
upon his followers to remain. Not so was it with
Dr. Pankhurst in the Court of Common Pleas. The
great Coleridge having fought the battle of the ladies in
the face of imminent defeat, the judges unanimously
decided against him. The appeal in " Chorlton v.
Lings " ums dismissed ; then, as Mr. Coleridge declined
to argue in "Chorlton v. Ressler," Dr. Pankhurst took
the place of his leader. The judges, hitherto patient,
were dismayed at the idea of hearing the arguments
over again, and the Chief Justice incredulously asked
the junior if he expected to convince them. Dr.
Pankhurst replied that their judgment was inchoate,
and might be altered during term, and that the case
involved so vast a mass of materials that it was
impossible to have them all from the mouth of one
man. Then, amidst loud laughter in the court, the
Chief Justice promptly shut the ambitious counsel
up ; had he not done so, the argument might have
lasted for the remainder of the term. Dr. Pank-
hurst has earned the everlasting gratitude of the
ladies, who must at least confess that they have had
fair play.

erit tiii6. The rector Writes s
reply as dignified as the other is insulting. He took
no part in the election, he says, except to vote for
Mr. Berkeley, giving his gardener a holiday to vote
for Colonel Somerset. Ile is not a partisan, and
would have voted for the Marquis of Worcester had
he come forward (the marquisis the duke's eldest son.)
The schools will be rebuilt without the duke's
assistance, but the clergyman thinks that his grace
cannot, as owner of nearly 100 acres in the parish,
repudiate his duties and leave the burden on the
shoulders of the incumbent because he does not hold
the Somerset politics. The Duke of Beaufort knows
as little of manners as the Duke of Portland does of
English. His treatment of the clergyman is not
only impertinent, but coarse and brutal.

NON-INTERVENTION.

Dr. Brady, as a Liberal candidate for the county
of Leitrim, wrote to the Earl of Albemarle soliciting
his support. The answer was not quite that which
the doctor desired, but ho nevertheless con-
siders his lordship's reply "just, equitable, and con-
stitutional." The reply was that the earl would not
interfere with his tenants at the forthcoming or any
subsequent elections. This puts Dr. Brady in raptures.
It must, however, be remembered that he asked for
his lordship's "support." It may be presumed, un-
less he was tempting that nobleman's virtue, that he
would have been better pleased still had he gained it.
So much praise bestowed upon a certain course of
action implies a heavy reserve of censure for some
other possible course. The only logical deduction is
that Dr. Brady, with all his love of justice, would
have condemned the earl had he supported the
other side, and condemned him in that case only.

EDUCATIONAL RETURNS.

It is certainly most needful that just now the
educational and thecriminal returns should be correct.
If we mistake not, we are entering upon a period in
which both these subjects will engage attention.
Education especially has been set down as the political
battle-ground of the future ; and that annual panic
which sets in about this time, and continues until after
Christmas, rising or falling in its intensity as the
" rough " is daring or cowardly, will want something
given to it in the way of either greater protection, more
strict repression, or both. For legislation, informa-
tion is required. As to education, for instance, it has
long been the cry that it is "ignorance produces
crime." And the criminal returns attest it. But if
we may believe the Pall Mall Gazette these returns
cannot by any means be relied on. In analysing
the imperfectly educated and the ignorant among
the criminals at a very " black " assize, it was
discovered that several of superior education were set
down with an " N.;" that is to say, without education.
Surely this is a matter on which something might be
done to ensure accuracy. If these returns are so
imperfect, where shall we look for anything like
accuracy ?

THE REVENUES OF THE IRISH CHURCH.

The cry of " What shall be done with the Irish
Church funds" has now been taken up by several of
the Liberal journals ; by the Spectator amongst the
number. The Spectator's argument is, that these
funds may be divided into four parts : one for the
bishops, another for the clergy, another for
the fabric, and the fourth for the poor. In
diverting the moneys from the three fonrer pur-
poses, they should be devoted to the last, and handed
over to the guardians. From some expressions of
Mr. Gladstone's, the Spectator claims to have formed
its opinion that he intends to take this policy. Mr.
Gladstone, however, has kept a studied silence. " C."
(who, being honoured with large type, is evidently
some one of importance) writes to the Times protest-
ing against these speculations. "It is," he says,
" difficult to imagine a greater wrong to a public man
who has maintained a most careful reserve on a
delicate subject, than to impute to him the intention
to submit to the Legislature a scheme violating
every sound principle of action, and having nothing
to recommend it but its conformity with the most
technical cy-pres doctrine of the Court of Chancery ;
and all on the strength of an episode of a long
speech, in which the orator took occasion to answer
a fool according to his folly. There are doubtless
many excellent ways of appropriating the revenues
of the Irish Church—one or two which would pro-
bably be acceptable to the national will and consis-
tent with good sense might be mentioned ; but
there is no necessity for debating the question
at all at this stage of the controversy, and
respect for Mr. Gladstone ought to restrain the pub-
lication of unauthorised conjectures."
London, England, 1868-11-11

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

MIDDLESEX.—Lord Enfield and Mr. Labouchere have
issued a joint address, stating that as a Conservative candi-
date has appeared they intend visiting as many districts as
possible in the county. _

NOTTINGIIAM.-Mr. Marten has found it desirable
to retire as the constitutional candidate for the re-
presentaticn of Nottingham. Sir Robert Clifton ha;
in consequence, announced himself as an independent can-
didate. Sir Robert addressed a monster meeting of ten
thousand to fifteen thousand persons in the great market-
place on Monday night, and was received with deafening
enthusiasm. He expressed himself against the disendow-
ment of the Irish Church, as that was not the great griev-
ance of Ireland.

SHREWSBURY.—T ho Shrewsbury election has been settled
by compromise. Messrs. Clement and Figgins will be re-
turned without opposition. Mr. Commissioner Kerr has
retired on the Liberal side, and Mr. Straight on that of the
Conservatives.

GLASGOW.—The Roman Catholic vote in Glasgow will bo
"cast" in favour of the three Liberal candidates. This was
the resolution unanimously come to at a large meeting of
Roman Catholic electors.

TYNEMOUTII.—On Monday Captain Barber, who had been
invited by the Conservatives to contest the representation
of the borough of Tynemouth, declined to do so, the reason
being that he was in delicate health. On the same day a
communication was received from Mr. J. R. Totter, barris-
ter-at-law, Bishop Auckland, placing his services at the dis-
posal of the Conservatives, who at once accepted them.
EAST CORNWALL.—Mr Kendall (C) having retired, Mr.
Pole Carew, who was formerly one of the members of the
county, has been invited to stand. He hag, however, re-
fused to do so.

DEVONSHIRE.— The Western Morning News says that in
the northern division of this county Mr. Walrond, a Conser-
vative, who is seeking to eject Mr. Thomas Dyke Acland,
has not the remotest prospect of being returned. In
South Devon Lord Amberley's candidature is such a
success that the Liberals only regret that they did not
bring forward two men. Mr. Kekewich, ono of the Conser-
vative members for the division, has been advised by many
of his friends to retire from what they consider a hopeless
contest. South Devon has been an unchallenged Tory con-
stituency for 31 years, and has been represented exclusively
by Conservative? since 1835.

The learned judges in the Court of Exchequer tri.
Tuesday found it difficult to proceed with the business in
consequence of so many counsel being engaged in election
contest.. It appeared that nearly all of the learned gentle-
men were candidates for Lorouglis, and the Lord Chief Baron
stated that, as the borough elections would be over on the
night of Wednesday week, all tho cases in which they
we, Przngcd would bo postponed nu til tbefollolyipg 40y,

THE POOR LAW.

There is another subject to which legislators must
ere long. have their attention drawn—the subject of
the poor law. On this matter the Conservatives
have claimed almost a " monopoly of wisdom,"
and they have boasted much of their measure last
session. A vigorous poor-law management was
indeed inaugurated under Mr. Hardy, and had he
remained at the post there was every indication that
we should not have had to find fault with our poor-
law system so continually. He began reforms
which, if properly carried out, would have altered
many an anomaly. That wretched arrangement by
which the-parochial government fell into the hands
of a few feeble squabbling local nobodies, was fast
being counteracted in the metropolis by the vigour of
the Executive Government. But things changed,
and the right hon. gentleman was transferred to the
Home Office. Since then the board seems to
have fallen into its old routine. It wants
"reforming altogether." The sub-inspectorships,
which were to be so useful in finding out abuses in
workhouses, have fallen into the patronage of the
Earl of Devon. Of course he would appoint energetic
business men, well known for their acquaintance with
the subject. Nothing of the sort. Mr. Courtenay,
one of those appointed, has the very special recom-
mendation that he is the nephew of the president ;
and Mr. Fleming, the other, is the nephew of the
permanent secretary.
