ENGLISH FINANCING.

Altogether, English merchants and capitalists are
giving their country a good name. It is little wonder
that one of the witnesses at the " Doulton trial," at
Brussels, expressed the opinion that the English were
" eccentric in money matters." What can be said,
for instance, to the failure of Overend, Gurney, and
Co., the revelations concerning railway management
which followed, the fall of some of our safest bankers,
the stories told about innumerable little banks
and enterprises, and more recently the investigation
in the matter of the Royal Bank of Liverpool,
together with a few other finance companies which
we could name ? It may safely be predicted that,
going at this rate, England will soon be in the proud
position of the most commercially immoral country
in the world. Unfortunately, too many of our public
men are, if not criminally guilty, mixed up with and
concerned in these unfortunate enterprises. This, of
course, may be to their own misfortune. The "afaire
Doulton," for instance—though the member for
Lambeth may be, as he says he is, "more sinned
against than sinning "—comes, unfortunately, after
so many other revelations. Mr. Albert Grant, too,
who is not (most inexplicably) very popular amongst
the Credit Foncier shareholders, has had a finger
in that unfortunate pie, the Belgian Public
Works scheme. Some reflection was thrown on
him at the trial at Brussels. Smarting under it, Mr.
Grant has written to Mr. Doulton, and got from him
a certificate that the reflection was unwarranted.
Mr. Grant adds : " I am conscious of never having
done a single act in connection with the company but
for its advantage. I have not benefited by my con-
nection with it by a single shilling, and if the hearsay
evidence given had been put to the crucial test of
cress-exarrunation and the laws of English jurispru-
cicnce, it would have been seen cn what utterly
worthless and false bases the allegations rested."

TIIE STRAW FLUTERS OF LIF.DFORDSIIIRE.
There is great distress amongst the straw plaiters
of Bedfordshire. Small bonnets have sent straw
" out of fashion," and the unfortunate makers of
straw plait have no work to. do. Maybe, the next
freak of Le Pullet will put the Dunstablc plaiters
as hard at work as ever. Meanwhile the condition
of these at present unfortunate creatures is
worth attention. The Daily News has been
making some inquiries, and presents the results
of these to its readers. The story is by no
means pleasant reading. It is a revelation of early
work, lasting ignorance, ending in debasing immo-
rality. The work is confined almost exclusively to
females and children. The extent to which children

MARKE7 S-2 MS DAY.

MARK-LANE.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up at
Mark-lane this morning was very moderate, but the
quality was good. The attendance of millers was limited,
and sales in both red and white parcels progressed slowly,
at Monday's quotations.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
demand was inactive at about late rates.

Floating cargoes of wheat were dull and drooping.
Maize and other descriptions of produce afloat were firm

n value.

Moderate supplies of barley were on sale. The trade
was firm, and the value of all description was well sup-
ported.

Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at previous
quotations.

TALLOW.

The market is steady. Town tallow, 52s 6d; Peters-
burg Y.C. on the spot, 53a 3d; December, 53s 3d; Jan.

Ax HISTORICAL EDlFlCE.—Yassengers in St.
James's Park have lately observed some workmen em-
ployed in the demolition of an ugly-looking chapel, not far
from the India-offic?. This edifice formed part of a man-
sion, now the office ()Rho London recruiting district, which
formerly was the residence of the notorious J udge Jeffreys.
It was here that he; performed his official duties tic hen his
court was not sitting, and here ho lived in some little
splendour till his committal to the Tower. The entrance
to the mansion is from Duke-street; but as a mark of
favour, King James 11. granted Jeffreys permission to
throw out a flight of stone steps leading to the Park;
these still remain and distinguish the house from the
others in the same row.—Pall-Mall Gazette.

OXFORD.

The Rev. Drummond P. Chase, some time Principal
of St. Mary Hall, writes to the Standard on the
subject of Mr2Coleridge's bill, and heads his letter
" The De-Christianising of. the Colleges of Oxford."
He maintains that the effect of the bill would be to
make it possible for the members of any college,
head and fellows alike, to have no belief in common.
Thirty-five years ago the effect of the bill would
have been harmless ; now the principles of the
electors to fellowships would make it dangerous.
The reverend gentleman does not think it an
unreasonable demand that our universities should be
open to all British citizens, irrespective of their
religious or non-religious sentiments, but those who
arc admitted to power and influence in a Christian
institution can surely say whether or no they accept
the Apostles' Creed. The writer does not fight thebattle
of the Church of England alone, but appeals to all
Christians. He does not even fight for the exclusive
possession of the endowments. His neighbours might
draw from the pure Oxford stream, but should not
be allowed to muddy the source. He regrets Sir
Roundell Palmer is silent upon the subject.
The Standard is full of letters upon the Oxford
Confessional. The undergraduates write to question
the statement made the other day by " M. A." as to
the frivolous character of the men who go to Dr.
Pusey for absolution. "A Head Master " and " A
Fellow" have letters backing up "M. k." The most
interesting is one from a 8.A., who, though a mus-
cular and studious man himself, confesses to Dr.
Pusey. He declares that the article headed
" Young Oxford," which appeared two years ago,
was written by a man who had been hoaxed,
and that any nonsense about the effeminacy of
Ritualists is both silly and slanderous. The attri-
buting of sinister motives to Dr. Pusey is condemned
by an indignant protest. Dr. Pusey says nothing.
The man who has battled with more hostility and
prejudice than perhaps anyone living, and who has
turned so many foes into friends, can afford to treat
his slanderers with contempt.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECT UAL 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, colds, 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, 13}d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address aro engraved on the

WHO WOULD BE A BISHOP P

Charles Walker (we presume the Rev. Charles
Walker, of St. Michael's, Brighton), careful that the
aged Bishop of Chichester should not rust through
lack of work, has been writing to him upon the
subject of what he calls the " scandal of evening
communions," and asks his lordship for support in
case ho institute proceedings against the Rev.
Edmund Clay, of St. Margaret's Chapel. He tells
the Bishop that he shall reserve the right of pub-
lishing his lordship's reply. This impatient gentle-
man only gives the Bishop a week for his answer,
and then, not receiving one, he sends his letter to
the Daily News. Here is a fine opening for a flood
of letters, more or less irreverent, more or less
irrelevant.

POLICE IN

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF BEGGING.—John Bell, a
carpenter, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged

with begging.
Alfred Brook, 111 0, said that on the previous
night he was in Jermyn-street when he was called
by a gentleman who said that he had just given the
prisoner, who had begged of him, a sovereign, and
that after doing so he believed the prisoner
to be an impostor. Ho took the prisoner
to the station, and, after the charge was taken,
made inquiries, and found that what the prisoner
had told the gentleman was correct, and having
informed the gentleman of the result of his inquiries
he declined to go on with the charge, and gave
him a sovereign to hand to the prisoner that morn-
ing, at the same time expressing a hope that the
matter might be made public that the prisoner
might get employment.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no wonder the dis-
trict was harassel wish bcggArs when gentlemen
gave persons sovereigns without knowing anything
about them.

Brook sail the prhoaer's wife w.i, is a mist d

plor.tble state.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be dis-
charged, but, at the same time, he felt bound to
state that such acts as those of the gentleman
were likely to induct other persons to become
beggars, and counteracted what the law meant to
be done.

THE MARGINS TOWNSIIEND AND THE BEGGARS.—.
Margaret Casey, a woman with a child in her arms,
was charged with begging. -

The coachman to the Marquis Townshend proved
seeing the prisoner begging in Bond-street yester-
day, and by direction of the Marquis he gave her
into custody.

The Marquis Townshend said that seeing the
prisoner begging he directed his coachman to give
her into custody. He had the prisoner before him
(Mr. Tyrwhitt) a few months ago, when she was
sent to prison, and as he knew her to be a most
violent, drunken woman he thought if she was re-
manded for a few days se►ne arrangement might be
made by which her two eldest children, who were
sent into the streets by her to beg, might be sent to
a school.

The prisoner said the children did not beg, but
sold lights.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, in remanding the prisoner, re-
marked that it was a fortunate thing there was a
person in the world who interested himself in such
matters.

Bishop Lee was severe on the Ritualists, whore
he advised to go over to theßoman Catholic C hurch,
where they would find Ritualiim to perfection. A
petition was presented from the newly-organized
diocese of Nebraska asking for admission to the
church. Dr. Littlejohn, of New York, spoke in
favour of the petition, which was referred to an ap-
propriation committee. A motion was made and
referred, to change the title of the Convention to
that of Council. Several memorials to amend the
fifth article of the constitution of 1789, in relation
to the establishment of new dioceses, were referred
to the committee on canons. A sharp debate oc-
curred towards the clo3e of the day's session on the
subject of printing 1,500 copies of the sermon of
Bishop Lee, of Delaware, which commented severely
on Ritualism. A motion to lay the subject on the
table was negatived and the printing ordered.

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, colds, 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, 134 d., 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

CHURaIT (CONFERENCE /AT CC 4.MBRIDri-Z,

4.-ne third a the series of conferences now in. pfagress In
the diocese of Ely, in compliance with the requisition of the
Lord Bishop, was held at Cambridge on Tuesday. The Right
Rev. the Lord Bishop presided, supported by the Right Hon.
the lord-lieutenant, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Vice-
Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (the Rev. the
Master of Trinity), Mr. A. J. Beresford-Hope, M.P. for
the university, the Very Rev. the Dean of Ely, the Ven.
the Auhdeacon of Ely, &c. There were present also
the Rev. the Masters of St. Peter's, St. John's, Sidney,
and Christ's Colleges, and the Rev. the President of
Queen's ; Professors Jeremie, Selwyn, Challis, Humphrey,
Bond, Liveing, Kennedy, and Swainson ; Dr. Paget,
Colonel Wales, &c. The Right Rev. the Bishop of
Ely opened the proceedings in a long address. He
dwelt at length on the importance of the lay
element. Many of the laymen, he said, were as
much educated as the clergy, and some of the best of
them perhaps more so ; and there were much stronger
reasons why these should now take, part in the proceedings
of the Church than in the middle ages. The subject for
discussion was " The maintenance of the National.
Church, and the best means of increasing her efficiency
without interfering with her national and established
character; on the means of obtaining greater unity
amongst ourselves and on the comprehension of Dissen-
ters." This subject was introduced in a paper by the
Very Rev. the Dean of Ely, and a discussion ensued, in
which a clergyman and a layman alternated. The dean
condemned the sale of patronage as a crying evil. He
thought that there should be home power of veto on
c'eri( al appointments ; that the people should have
some power in a matter so important to themselves, and
in which they were so much interested. The dean pro-
ceeded to descant upon the want of proper discipline
in the Church, where, he said, they had too much of
the mob and too little of the army. He thought
improved discipline would tend more than anything to
the increased efficiency of the Church and the " com-
prehension of Dissenters." At the afterncoa sitting,
a paper was read by the Rev. Canon Hopkins as to
" How laymen can best help forward the work of
Christ and His Church in their several parishes ; and
whether it is desirable and practicable to have permanent
deacons as well as lay readers." The rev. canon was
decidedly in favour of such a system. The Ven. the
Archdeacon of Ely next read a paper "On the
present state of the church-rate question, and
what steps should be taken in consequence of
recent legislation connected therewith ;" and the
Ven. the Dean of Ely founded upon it a motion, "That
it is highly desirable that a general effort should be made
throughout the diocese to bring into operation the new
law concerning church rates." Mr. Arthur Sperling, Mr.
W. C. Little (Elm), Mr. T. H. Naylor, and other gentle.
men, spoke to the question. The motion, having beer
ononded by Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., was carried,
