Bishop Lee was severe on the Ritualists, whom
he advised to go over to the Roman Catholic Church,
where they Would find Ritualism 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 reierrel 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 close 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.

mercy."

The Times correspondent says it would have been wen,
as things have turned out, if the convicts had been allowed
quietly to disperse on landing. Their conduct shews that
at that date they had no feeling of revenge towards us.
They had been treated humanely and liberally during their
exile, and we should possibly have heard no more of them
than we have done of those who escaped years ago from
Kawan, or from the hulk in Wellington. Forces
of armed constabulary, volunteers, and specially-raised
companies have, however, hung on their track, and
engaged them in two or three skirmishes, with the some-
what indefinite hope cf retaking them. The pursuit of

these convicts from first to last has been attended with
disaster, and has reflected no lustre on the colonial forces
engaged. Colonel IVl'Donnell, on the west coast, was
more successful. lle destroyed numerous small villages of
refuge, and defeated the natives in several encounters.
Large parties of friendly natives have joined his camp.

TRADE WITH CHINA.

The adoption of the new route to South-west Chir a by
way of Rangoon will be attended by more than one benefit.
It will not only open commercial intercourse with two
hundred millions of people who are practically cut off
from European trade, but it is necessary for the consolida-
tion of our Indian Empire. France has planted her flag in
Cochin China, and is rapidly working up the Cambodia
River. If we neglect the opportunity, she will gain com-
mand of this new district before us.

THAMES.

CHARGE OF FRAUD.—Edgson Bean, a respect-
able-looking man, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with obtaining £1 from Mr. George Cole-
man, assistant cashier at the Sailors' Home, in
Well-street, Whitechapel, by false and fraudulent
pretences.

Mr. Coleman said that on the 21st of the present
month the prisoner came to him with a letter, of
which the following is a copy :
" Oct. 21.—Seamen's hospital ship Dreadnought
to the cashier of Sailors' Home, Well-street, be so
kind to send me one pound barier (bearer) Thomas
Clarke, has he belongs to the ship.—Yours, D. Mr.
Key, i giten better, butt very slow at present."

Mr. Paget marked the letter with his initials,
and asked the witness if Mackay had money in
the Home.

Mr. Coleman—Yes, sir, he has. He is an in-
valid and a patient in the Dreadnought. I asked
the prisoner if his name was Thomas Clarke, to
which he replied in the affirmative, and he gave him
the money. The prisoner signed his name Thomas
Clarke in the book in the usual manner. Yester-
day I received a second letter from Mackay warn-
ing me not to let the prisoner have any money. I
saw the prisoner last night and gave him into
custody.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was a seaman,
and that he was a patient on board the Dread-
naught for 20 days, and Mckay gave him permis-
sion to write the letter and obtain the money.
He was to repay it when he got a ship. He had
obtained a berth, and should have got his advance
note cashed and sailed that day if he had not been
arrested. He asked Mackay to allow him to draw
money from the Sailors' H 0112.1. Mackay said he
had no objections as long as it was repaid again.
John Weston, clerk in the Sailors' Home, stated
that he saw Mackay in the Dreadnought yesterday,
and he was very ill, and could not leave the hospi-
tal ship.
Mr. Paget..-What is the matter with him ?
Witness—He has an ulcer in his leg, and has
lost the use of his left arm.

Mr. Paget said he could not proceed with the case
without the evidence of Mackay, and directed police
constable Macdonald, 102 H, to take the prisoner
to the Greenwich Police-court, and request the
magistrate presiding there to go on board the
Dreadnought and take the evidence of Mackay.
Macdonald was then furnished with the deposi-
tions taken by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk of the
court, and started at 12 o'clock for Greenwich with
the prisoner and witnesses.

DEFEAT OF THE BRITISH.

An attack on the natives of the west coast, on the 7th
of September, resulted most disastrously. The following
account is given by the Times correspomlent :—" How the
affair came about we know not, except that our forces
appear to have been in search of the rebels in the neighbour-
hood of the lately-destroyed pah of Ngutu-o-to-Manu.
The natives were quite prepared this time to receive us,
and not only lined their rifle-pits, but had perched them-
selves on the tops of trees, whence they could take deadly
aim. The fire was returned, and although our officers fell
one after another, yet a good and orderly retreat was
effected. Among the 14 killed were the gallant Major von
Tempsky, Captains Buck and Palmer, and Lieutenants
Hastings and Hunter. The number of wounded is not
stated, but Lieutenant Rowan is reported to be so danger-
ously. Twenty-seven of the rebels were killed ; wounded
unknown. Preparations are being made for another attack
on them, and unless this disaster is speedily wiped out by
a signal success, it will be difficult to foresee the termina-
nation of a struggle in which a mere handful of rebels
are acquiring so much prestige in the eyes of surrounding

THAMES.

CHARGE OF FRAUD.—Edgson Bean, a respect-
able-looking man, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with obtaining £1 from Mr. George Cole-
man, assistant cashier at the Sailors' Home, in
Well-street, Whitechapel, by false and fraudulent
pretences.

Mr. Coleman said that on the 21st of the present
month the prisoner came to him with a letter, of
which the following is .a copy :
" Oct. 21.—Seamen's hospital ship Dreadnought
to the cashier of Sailors' Home, Well-street, be so
kind to send me one pound barier (bearer) Thomas
Clarke, has he belongs to the ship.—Yours, D. Mr.
Key, i am giten better, butt very slow at present."
Mr. Paget marked the letter with his initials,
and asked the witness if Mackay had money in
the Home.

Mr. Coleman—Yes, sir, he has. He is an in-
valid and a patient in the Dreadnought. I asked
the prisoner if his name was Thomas Clarke, to
which he replied in the affirmative, and he gave him
the money. The prisoner signed his name Thomas
Clarke in the book in the usual manner. Yester-
day I received a second letter from Mackay, warn-
ing me not to let the prisoner have any money. I
saw the prisoner last night and gave him into
custody.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was a seaman,
and that he was a patient on board the Dread-
naught for 20 days, and Mckay gave him permis-
sion to write the letter and obtain the money.
He was to repay it when he got a ship. He had
obtained a berth, and should have got his advance
note cashed and sailed that day if he had not been
arrested. He asked Mackay to allow him to draw
money from the Sailors' Home. Mackay said he
had no objections as long as it was repaid again.
John Weston, clerk in the Sailors' Home, stated

that he saw Mackay in the Dreadnought yesterday,
and he was very ill, and could not leave the•hospi-
tal ship.
Mr. Paget—What is the matter with Mtn ?
Witness—lle has an ulcer in his leg, and has
lost the use of his left arm.

Mr. Paget said lie could not proceed with the case
without the evidence of Mackay, and directed police
constable Macdonald, 102 11, to take the prisoner
to the Greenwich Police-court, and request the
magistrate presiding there to go on board the
Dreadnought and take the evidence of Mackay.
Macdonald was thea furnished with the deposi-

tions taken by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk of the
court, and started at 12 o'clock for Greenwich with
the prisoner and witnesses.

MOBBING ROYALTY.

The writer in the Itioniteur who discovered that
St. Leonards-on-Sea was a royal residence where the
Queen was now staying, and where the Crown
Princess of Prussia had spent the greater part of her
childhood, will be surprised to learn that the inhabi-
tants of the place are at the present time so little in
the habit of treating the presence of royalty with
ordinary composure, that the Crown Princess
is mobbed in a disgraceful manner. The same dis-
tinction awaits her Royal Highness which is
conferred upon the pickpocket on his way to the
police-station, and when she walks out with the
little ones she attracts as much notice as if she were
exhibiting a " happy family." The English snob is
übiquitous. At home and abroad he dodges the
footsteps of the great. Now that the Royal Family
consent to sit for their photographs, and the public
have an opportunity of staring at them in family
groups, the originals might surely be spared this
annoyance.

THE " COUNTESS OF DERWENTWATER."

It is to be hoped that we shall soon hear the last of
the " Lady Amelia Radcliffe" who is endeavouring
to assert her claim to the estates and title of Der-
wentwater by " squatting " in the Queen's highways ;
or at any rate that she will leave the road and use
.some other mode of obtaining the paternal estates.
With an amazing want of promptitude, the authorities
have at last decided to remove her, and summonses
have been served upon her to answer charges of
setting up the " structure " and lighting fires on the
highway. What is difficult for lookers-on to under-
stand is, the way in which her cause is espoused by
the dwellers in the neighbourhood. True, her story
is romantic ; but it is so manifestly absurd. She
admits that she has at present no papers that can
establish her claim, but says she once had ; that she
forwarded them to Lord Palmerston, and that he
stole them. Many a charge has been brought against
the noble lord, but none so palpably false and ground-
less as this.

BURGLARIES.

The Times contains some details of a late attempt
by three burglars to break into a house in Victoria-
street, Westminster. In this new street there are
lofty houses, let off in chambers. One gentleman
living in an upper storey is often visited by tramps
and vagabonds, who make their way upstairs, pro-
bably, like Mr. Micawber, looking out for something
to " turn up." The polio.) refuse to interfere,
unless it is sworn there is an intention to commit
a felony. Three thieves were lately drinking
in a neighbouring tavern, and a bystander acquainted
with their dialect overheard a plan for breaking into
this house. He communicated it to the porter, and
the porter sent to Scotland-yard. Scotland-yard
sent him to Westminster, and Westminster refused
to send out men to protect private property. At last
the urgency of the porter prevailed upon that unjust
judge, the inspector, to send down a single man. The
police on the beat did not seem very willing to assist
him, and so he procured the assistance of a neighbour,
and arms. With this force they managed to secure
the burglars, but they owed small thanks to the
police.

FOREIGN NOTES

THE SUCCESSION TO THE BELGIAN THRONS

All hope of the recovery of the Duke of Brabant, heir
to the crown of Belgium, has long been abandoned, and
since the recent relapse it is feared that the question of
time will not long remain doubtful. The Lthertg says
that Count van Straaten, Grand Marshal of the Belgian
Court, has been sent on a confidential mission to the Em-
peror Francis Joseph, at G0d6115, to take counsel
respecting the choice of the future heir to the Belgian
throne.

SPAIN.

The Spanish Minister of Finance is desirous of contract-
ing a loan of £20,000,000. This is indeed a formidable
undertaking for a country with a revenue below twenty-six
millions sterling, and with funds quoted at 32 or 33. The
treasury is in no very flourishing condition, and the
revenue is weakened by the abolition of the octroi and
other duties. Moreover, there are large obligations to meet.
But Figuerola, the Finance Minister, is able and conscien-
tious ; he has concluded that a smaller loan will not
answer the purpose, and so universal is the belief in his
honesty that a beneficial effect on public confidence has
already been produced. If, the Times correspondent says,
Spain is willing to go hand in hand with her rulers,
there can be no doubt as to her ability to pay her way.
She has hitherto been a very lightly taxed nation. The
collectors' duty was never a very difficult one..
The new manifesto of the Provisional Government is
calculated to dissipate the uncertainty which prevailed as
to the freedom of creed and worship. The first manifesto
was very hazy on this, as on other points. The utmost
that could be deduced from it was that religion would be
tolerated, not that it would be free. This ambiguous
decision caused, we are told, much dissatisfaction in Spain.
But the Government now definitely announces that the
fullest freedom of religion shall be granted. There is,
moreover, every reason to believe that religious. liberty is
already practically established in Spain.

The meeting of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery,
held recently at Madrid, was one of the largest, most
enthusiastic, and unanimous gatherings ever held in that
capital. There were about 5,000 persons present, all
belonging to the middle classes. The proceedings lasted
four hours, the speeches being varied by the reciting of
poems by ladies. Senor Olozaga presided. Whilst the
necessity of emancipation was acknowledged by all, the
practical difficulties were not overlooked, and frequent
reference was made to the experience of England. Two
Cuban estate•holders spoke, both advocating the abolition
of slavery.

It is announced that Don Henri of Bourbon has arrived
at Lisbon. He is about to ask permission to enter Spain
on the ground that he was unjustly exiled by the Govern.
ment of Isabella.

ANOTTrgIt CONTRADICTION.

The " last thing out " in election fictions has been
a statement in the Times that Mr. O'Malley's com-
mittee had gone to the expense of publishing an
enlarged reproduction of "Ye Jollie Thieves" cartoon,
in which Mr. Gladstone as King Henry and Mr. John
Bright as Falstaff are represented as arranging the
next purse-taking expedition. Mr. A. B. Talbot writes
on behalf of Mr. O'Malley's committeefor theFinsbury
election to say that no such expense has been incurred,
and that the committee would not feel itself justified
in using the subscriptions towards the expenses of
the contest for such a purpose. Probably the com-
mittee will find sufficient employment for the money,
without indulging in artistic extravagances. An
enlarged copy of the cartoon has been posted in dis-
tricts where professional instincts will appreciate the
subject. This adornment of the walls of obscure
thoroughfares is perhaps due to private benevolence.

THE BATTLE OF ALCOLEA.

The following touching incident of the battle of Alcolea
is related by the Daily News correspondent, who heard the
story from a young soldier who was in Serrano's army :
"This young man was in one of the advanced battalions
which were earliest engaged, and for some minutes his
regiment and one of the royalist army were
exchanging shots at a very short distance, so short,
in Iced, that they could easily discern the countenances of
t'eir antagonists. Soon after the firing commenced, so
soon indeed that the smoke had not yet obscured their
vision, the soldier on his left-hand file, a young man like
himself, noticed that he was being covered by the rifle of
one of the enemy, and looking at his foe imme-
diately perceived that it was his own brother.
For a moment he seemed petrified with horror
at the idea that he might be slain under such
circumstances, and then, throwing up his arms,
he exc'a:med in Spanish, 0, Frank, do not fire !'
The Royalist was naturally astonished at hearing his
n .me thus shouted out in the middle of battle, but he was
n.)t slow to recognise his brother ; and the two lads, for-
getting-all about Queen or revolution, rushed into each
others arms and embraced between the: lines of the hostile
armies. But, unfortunately, a bullet intended for some
one ese passed through the head of the Royalist, aid he
was saved frotn the curse of fratricide only to expire in
his ther's arms."

A MUSICIAN'S DESCENDANTS

It will be remembered that the woman Bishop,
who was sent to prison the other day for fraud,
proved, to the astonishment of the public, to be the
daughter-in--law of the late Sir Henry Bishop. An
appeal was instantly made for charity on behalf of
her children, and this has met with a ready response.
Subscriptions to the amount of -217 were received at
the commencement of the week •by Mr. W. Francis,
deputy clerk of the peace, at the Sessions House,
Clerkenwell, and that gentleman makes a further
appeal for a moderate sum to place the girls in a fair
way of providing for themselves. An offer has already
been made of a musical performance, and as the pro-
fessors of music are ever ready with their help to
each other, it is to be hoped that its chief ornaments
may assist. Meanwhile, the appeal should fairly
catch all those who have derived pleasure from the
works of such a true musician as the composer of
" Guy Mannering." Artists surely have a claim on
their posterity as long as their works live.

OXFORD.

The Rev. Drummond P. Chase, some time Principal
of St. Mary Hall, writes to the Standard on the
subject of Mr. Coleridge'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
are 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. A.." 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.

TEE BARTIVJAKE IN IRELAND.

Concerning the earthquake in Ireland a Dlibllll corre.
spondent telegraphs :—" Sir William Wilde states in a
Dublin paper to-day that on Friday he observed en
extraordinary sky phenomenon at Moitura, Lough Corrib,
county Mayo, accompanied by a loud rumbling noise in
the ground as of several carriages rolling down an
avenue. The sound grew louder as it passed under his
feet from north to south, but there was no earth-
shaking. Some Cork journals now express strong
doubt as to the statements from the neighbourhood
of Mallow." Writing last night, our correspondent says :
" The story of the shock of earthquake, on Saturday, at
Newton, seems to rest on the testimony of several
repcctable inhabitants. Whilst Mr. Bourne was
hunting on foot with a pack of beagles, he and his
party felt the ground ' shaking violently under their feet.'
Peals of near thunder were heard at the same moment.
The vibration lasted about five seconds. Captain and
Mrs. Perry, of Clyda Villa, near Mallow, heard a low rum-
bling noise whilst talking in their parlour, and saw several
articles in the room shifting. At the same moment their
children ran in to say that the garden was shaking. The
people in the neighbourhood believe that the effects
were produced by an earthquake. The day was remark-
ably sultry."
