POLICE IN7'ELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr'
Alfred James, gentleman, of No. 15, Charing-cross/
Mr. Frank Hard, gentleman, of the Tavistoek
Hotel, and Jane Taylor, a well-dressed female, of
Grove-place, Brompton, were charged with be'
having in a disorderly manner, and James and Hard
were further charged with being drunk.
Jeremiah Mead, 33 C R, said that a little after
one that morning he saw the two male defendants
at the top of the Haymarket, in Piccadilly, with 3
number of prostitutes and two soldiers with them.
As the defendants were making a great disturb-
ance he requested them to go away, but they re-
fused to do so. He got the defendants at last to
go away, but they returned and interfered with
every one they came near, by pushing against the
passengers, and they went towards Regent-street
and picked up the female defendant. The male
defendants then became very disorderly, said they
were connections of Sir Richard Mayne, and
as they were drunk and would not go away, be,
with assistance, took them into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said
the female defendant was not drunk.

The male defendant said he was persuading ono
of the gentlemen to go borne. He declined to do
so, an altercation took place, and the constable then
came up and took them all to the station.

Police-constable Squire, 24 C, proved seeing the •
male defendants with six prostitutes, and on telling
them to go away they refused, stating that they
knew Sir Richard Mayne and all the A division of
police.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—llid they mean that they had been
in custody before ? (Laughter.)
The constable went on to say that he afterwards
saw the male defendants with about 100 prostitutes,
when they said they would do as they liked, and as
they were drunk they were taken to the station.
James said he knew nothing of there being 100
prostitutes present, and the constable said that there
were nearly 200, then 100.

Police-constable Portch, 38 C R, proved seeing
the female defendant trying to get the others awaY,
and hearing the male defendant making a great di3'
turbance and talking loudly about their connection
with Sir Richard Mayne, the A division of polio,
and Scotland-yard.
Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the female defendant,
as she appeared to have been trying to get the
other defendants away, and fined the male &fen'
daub 10s. or seven days each, at the same time
stating that they could appeal to Sir Richard
Mayne if they thought proper.

GUARDIANS OF TirE POOR.

Has Lord Devon tried the work of reforming the
guardians of Bermondsey yet ? We trow not, or his
much-vaunted Poor-law Amendment Act is a failure
indeed. The last meeting of the board was engaged
in the discussion of the question whether or not the
milk given to the children should continue as it has
been all along, to be watered something after the rate
of 85 per cent. The doctors had opposed the diluted
mixture, and had pleaded for something stronger.
But then the doctors themselves were at war with
the board. Hitherto they have been remunerated
after the rate of 2id. for each case, cases on an
average requiring twelve days' attendance. " The pale,
sickly children of the workhouse " is a household
phrase, and hardly a week passes without a case of
pauper neglect on the part of the doctor. What
else can be expected frcm such a system ?

'WHOLESALE 3.1A3' S LAUGHTER.

The Registrar-General's returns for the past week
thew that the average annual rate of mortality in
London and thirteen other large towns was 25 per
1,000. But this average gives no idea of the local
mortality. In Birmingham it was 18, in Salford 41.
What is the cause of this amazing and shameful
difference ? Here are two large manufacturing
towns, differing apparently in no essential particular,
and yet for three persons who die in Birmingham seven
die in Salford. Even comparing Salford with Man-
chester we find an enormous difference, although the
two towns are virtually one. In the first the mor-
tality is ten in the 1,000 more than in the second.
Who is guilty of this frightful sacrifice of life ? Are
there no persons who can be held responsible for this
wholesale manslaughter ?
London, England, 1868-10-14

THE BISHOP OF ELY ON CHURCH QUESTIONS.

Dr. Harold Browne, one of the ablest men on the
episcopal bench, is holding a series of conferences in
his diocese. One has just been• held at Bury St.
Edmunds, where his lordship said that ho did not fear
disestablilment, being persuaded that the Church,
if disestablished, would be able to rise to the occasion.
What he did fear was, the divisions among Church-
men, in the face of the assaults of inridelity on the.
one side and Romanism on the other. He lamentcl
the formation of such societies as the English Qurch
Union, the Church Association, the, F:vangelical
Alliance, believing that these wrrld foster and
stimulate sectarianism and partianship. He urged
his hearers to do all the" could to render their
Church as comprehensi7:e aspossible, so that it might
not incur the rerloach of excluding any such men
as another fishop Andrews, another John Wesley,
anotirjr Thomas Arnold. The Duke of Rutland was
among the lay speakers, and he supported the bishop's
argument by exhorting Churchmen to lay aside their
differences. Sad to say, both bishop and duke
produced little effect. Mr. Molyneuxl of Sudbury,
began a speech in defence of Ritualism, and was
hissed down.

THE METROPOLITAN ELECTIONS.

The agents of Mr. Smith, the Conservative candi-
date for Westminster, seem to be doing all they San
to ensure his rejection. They have been putting on
the list of committees men who have given them no
authority whatever. In one case some correspondence
took place, and the secretary, apologising, promised
to take the name off. Yet in the next issue of the
list there it was still. The same thing is done in
Chelsea, the list for which constituency is said to
have some thirty-nine gentlemen who are well-known
Liberals, whose names have been used without their
sanction.

THE MINORITY CLAUSE.

Mr. R. N. Fowler, chairman of the committee of
the " Constitutional" candidates, has written a letter
to the electors of the City of London pointing out
that the minority clause, so far from being due to
the Conservative party, as the chairman of the
Liberal committee implies, was originated by Lord
Russell in his Reform Bill of 1854, was sanctioned
then by Mr. Gladstone, Sir George Comma. Lewis,
Sir (sec) Sidney Herbert, Mr. Cardwell, Lord Gran-
ville, and Lord Clarendon ; and recently by Professor
Fawcett, Mr. Mill, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Knatch.bull-
Hugcssen. It has also been advocated by the Times
and the Daily Telegraph. We confess that we cannot
understand the opposition which is now being offered
to this clause by Mr. Bright. It looks as though he
allowed local incidents to outweigh imperial conside-
rations.

AN OLD STORY RETOLD.

Our readers will remember that in DecemberlB6o.
when Mr. Bovill was made Chief Justice of the,
Common Pleas, and Mr. Garth came forward as
Conservative candidate for the seat thus vacated at
Guildford, that gentleman made certain slanderous
charges against Mr. Bright. It was the fashion then
to abuse Mr. Bright, for the Conservatives had not
become converted to household suffrage, nor
had they learnt to "repose trust and confidence in
the working classes," as they now profess to do. But,
accustomed as r. Bright was to Conservative
slanders, Mr. Garth's tale was more than the member
for Birmingham could submit to. He called upon
the candidate for Guildford to prove his charge or to
retract it. The summons threw Mr. Garth and his
friends into dire confusion. They could not prove
their statement ; they did not like to retract it.
Mr. Rogers, late Professor of Political Economy at
Oxford, has been making this little matter the text
of a sermon to the electors of Guildford, in which
borough there is to be a severe contest. Mr. Avers
said that some time ago, when work was slack in
Rochdale, " Mr. Bright and his brother called together
their factory hands, and informed them that they
were only able to give them two days' work in each
week at the ordinary rates, and that the mills would
have to remain idle the remaining four days. It
was at the same time considerately proposed to the
men that they might if they chose draw four days'
wages for the two days' work during the slackness of
business, provided they would promise to pay the
money thus advanced to them back as soon as they
became fully employed. The hands, of course, were
glad to agree to such a proposal. So much money
was really therefore lent to those men during the
time of the depression of trade. Mr. Bright had told
him that every one of those workmen, except one,
had since then paid every penny of the money
that was advanced to them. And this was the man
Mr. Garth dared to slander, and, when the slander
was made apparent, refused to apologise."

CONVOCATION AND INTEMPERANCE.

The Convocation of Canterbury has taken up the
question of drunkenness. A committee has been
appointed to inquire into the causes and extent of
the evil, and to devise means by which intemperance
may be eradicated. The Deans of Westminster,
Canterbury, and Chichester, Archdeacon Sandford,
of Coventry, and those of Ely, Exeter, Leicester, Not-
tingham, and Salop ate on the committee. Into
every parish there have been sent forms to be filled
up, so that every beneficed clergyman will give his
views on the subject. The governors and chaplains
of prisons are also invited to do the same.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—.AN
I_4l 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, 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
stamp.

The Price of Gold.

••••••
'1 ho quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
tie short exchange on London is 251.220. per £1 sterling
Un cmaparin;; these rates with the English Hint price 01
,s. ioid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than is
Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for tills
at 60 days' eight was on the last date about 109} per cent
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the United States.

The body of Sen. Vallin, who was shot during
the first days of the rising at Montoro has been
brought here, and interred with much ceremony,
three Ministers being present on the occasion. Mar-
shal Serrano, ia his speech over the grave, said Vallin
was assassinated whilzt carrying out a most difficult
mission which had been intrusted to him. The
Speaker was interrupted by some persons pre-
sent who cried out " Vengeance ! vengeance !"
Marshal Serrano replied, saying, " Let us leave the
work of punishment to the justice of Heaven." He
further conjured all parties to bo united. The
speech was much applauded.
An official denial has been given to the rumours
that the Government intend to levy a tax upon the
public funds of Spain.

VOLUNTARYISM IN SCOTLAND.

Mr. Henry Varley, in a letter to the Daily .217.ews,
Anis summarises the work which voluntaryism has
done in Scotland : " The Free Church of Scotland,
since its separation from the Establishment in 1843,
when nearly 500 clergymen voluntarily resigned their
homes and livings, has built 900 churches, 050 manses,
three theological colleges, two normal or training in-
stitutions, and 500 schools. Her average annual
income for the three years previous to 1808 has been
£370,000, and during her twenty-five years of exist-
ence without State support the sum raised by her
amounts to over £8,000,000 sterling.'

FOREIGN NOTES,

DISARMAMENT.

The German papers believe that the Emperor Napoleon
is about to open a diplomatic campaign in the interests of
peace. Public opinion in France and the unanimous
desire of Europe have at length triumphed. The
Emperor is preparing a great manifesto at Biarritz. By
this he will invite Europe to a general alliance and to a
common understanding, by which the necessity for arma-
ments will cease, and France, as well as other nations, will
be relieved from the burden which presses upon them so
heavily. The report is too good to gain much credence.

THE EPISCOPATE.

As we anticipated yesterday, we have a fresh
announcement to make to-day respecting Mr.
Macrorie. Some of our contemporaries announce
that this gentleman will be consecrated on All
Saints Day, November 1, and that at the same time
the episcopate will be conferred upon Dr. Magee,
Dean Douglas, and Mr. Turner, respectively Bishops
designate of Peterborough, Bombay, and Grafton and
Armidale. There is, however, a saving clause—"if the
necessary arrangements can be made in time." The
"if " is rather an important element in Mr.
Macrone's case. Who knows but what he was the
primary cause of the early Cabinet Council ?

MR. ROEBUCK.

The junior member for Sheffield is not a man with
whom we feel much sympathy. Yet we cannot re-
frain from expressing our admiration of his courage
in denouncing rattcning and ruffianism before a
meeting of working men. Mr. Roebuck knows that
his seat is in danger, and that a " Constitutional "
candidate is endeavouring to supplant him by curry-
ing favour with the Broadheads and the Crookes, just
as other Constitutional candidates are making com-
mon cause with the Irish Fenians. Nevertheless, Mr.
Roebuck has spoken boldly and decisively. As a
reward for his plain speaking a dense meeting of
electors refused to hear either him or his chairman,
and when at last he left the hall they followed him
hooting. We did not suppose it possible a little
while ago that under any circumstances we could
wish to see Mr. Roebuck returned at the head of the
poll. Sheffield ruffianism will shortly effect that.

POLITICAL MALIGNITY.

The Standard considers that the election of Sir
Roundell Palmer for Oxford would be a national
calamity. In order to damage him it inserts letter
insinuating that he refused to vote tr kr. Glad-
stone's Suspensory Bill because he had Sir William
Heathcote's retirement in view, Can the force
of political malignity farther go ? Here is a
man whom all parties believe to be chivalrously
loyal to his convictions so conscientious that
nothing will make him swerve from the
course which ho believes right, even though
party ties, personal friendship, and a splendid career
all tempted him to do so ; a man who has deliberately
renounced the highest prize of his profession, just as
it was within his grasp, rather than commit, as he
thinks, an injustice to the Church ; and
yet this noble-minded man—this hero in days
when heroes are all too few—is made the
subject of a malignant insinuation from an
adherent of that party which sacrificed consistency,
honour, the cherished creed of ages ; which played a
desperate experiment with the Constitution whose
name they take in vain—and all to " dish " their
opponents and keep office for a few months longer.
But we have no right to expect anything else. It is
absurd to be indignant with these men. The traitor
is always suspecting treachery. Only for very shame
he should keep his suspicions to himself.

PASTORAL AID AND POLITICS.

The Rev. Philip Hains, incumbent of St. George's,
Wigan, last week delivered a lecture at Accrington, in
support of Mr. Gladstone's proposal to disestablish the
Irish Church. At the commencement of his address he
said that it must be taken into consideration that the
clergymen of the Church of England were under a variety
of influences, and some of these influences were so strong
that it was almost impossible—at any rate most hazardous
—to be outspoken on this subject (the Irish Church), and
to give their adherence to Mr. Gladstone. He would give
them an instance of what he meant. He was acquainted
with a clergyman, and knew him well, the minister of a
large parish—a parish containing 13,000 souls. Ile had
a grant given to him by the Pastoral Aid Society for the
maintenance of a curate. He had not taken a prominent
position on the Irish Church question, but had written
five or six letters to the newspapers, and had made a
couple of speeches during the last few months in favour
of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions. The result was, that
some kind friend in the neighbourhood had sent them
to the headquarters in London, and the gentleman in
question had received a communication to the effect
that the grant of the Pastoral Aid Society was not given
to men who were occupying prominent positions in the
political world. He replied that it was not because he
had taken a prominent position in the political world, but
because he had spoken in favour of Mr. Gladstone, that
opposition was made to him, and had he spoken against
Mr. Gladstone, no one would have spoken against
him. But they replied that, according to his own
chewing, he was occupying a position he ought not to
occupy, and they trusted there would be no necessity
for writing to him again on the subject ; in other words,
giving him a hintjby no means of an obscure character, that
if he adhered to Mr. Gladstone's policy the grant would
be withdrawn from his curate. The curate was a
most excellent man, with no political opinions, married,
and had four children, with a grant of £lOO a
year from the society, which was to be withdrawn
from him because his incumbent was taking a prominent
part in politics. Now the clergyman was placed in a
dilemma. However, he decided that truth and rectitude
with him should guide his actions, that he would leave
consequences in the hands of God ; and the response of the
clergyman to that last Threatening was, that he then stood
before them on that platform.

SERMON ON THE ABEIMELE ACCIDENT.

In compliance with a request from the employs of
Euston station and the members of a Foresters' Lodge
holding its meetings in the neighbourhood, a sermon was
preached at St. Matthew's Church, Oakley-square, by the
vicar, the Rev. Charles Phillips, on Sunday afternoon, to
a very large and attentive congregation. The rev. gentle-
man took his text from Ecclesiastes, chap. 9, verse 12, and
preached a very impressive and appropriate discourse.
Allusion was made to the importance of a future state to
all people, the possibility of sudden death, and the many
types of man's mortality afforded by the works of the
Creator, and the decay going on around us. He stated
how desirable it was to act under a sense of duty and endea-
vour to discharge with fidelity the tasks allotted to persons
of all vocations in life. A very feeling tribute of respect
was paid to the memory of the guard, William Smith, so
recently a member of the congregation. His conduct
towards an aged mother, as well as a husband and
father of eight children, were eloquently spoken of. The
church was crowded with reverent and most attentive
hearers, and the sight of the widow and fatherless children
was affecting in the extreme. No collection was made
after the service, but, as already stated, a number of gen-
tlemen have formed themselves into a committee, and sub-
scriptions for the widow and family of the late guard,
Smith, may be forwarded to the treasurer, Dr. Henry
Charles Andrews, of 1, Oakley-square, St. Pancras, or to
Mr. E. A. Chaston, of the National Bank, Camden
Town.

THE KISS OF THE NILE. —The preparatory work
for bringing the waters of the Nile into the canals has just
taken place with the usual rejoicings. The ceremony
was presided over by Cherif Pacha. Several ministers and
high functionaries from Alexandria were present, 83 well
as an inanonse concourse of spectators. There were some
short time back fears of an insufficiency of water for agri-
cultural purposes ; but those doubts have boon dissipated
tel from Assonard, the river having risen higher
than at the same period last year. There is consequently
a certitude for an abundant irrigation, and the great works
executed for strengthening the dykes have removed all
danger of a rupture. -

PASTORAL AID AND POLITICS.

The Rev. Philip Rains, incumbent of St. George's,
Wigan, last week delivered a lecture at Accrington, in
support of Mr. Gladstone's proposal to disestablish the
Irish Church. At the commencement 9f his address he
said that it must be taken into consideration that the

MR. BUTT AT LIMERICK.

Mr. Butt has delivered his promised lectur! at Limerick.
The most remarkable passage in the lecture was the
following, on the subject of evictions for mere gain :
" On this subject, he said,lhe did notattribute to the entire
landlord class the wrongs inflicted by a few of them. All
the Southern planters were not Legrees, but as slavery
fell in the Southern States of America because there were
Legrees, he believed landlordism in Ireland was not safe
if its powers were left to William Scullys and Adairs.
The slight decrease in the emigration recently alluded
to by the Duke of Abercorn at Derry, he (Mr. Butt)
believed was caused by a reviving hope that Parliament
might do something to secure their holdings to the
tenants, and one of the reasons why he felt a hesitation
in coming there that evening, or in taking part in any
political action in Ireland, was because he was afraid of
being a party to exciting hopes in the people that might
again be doomed to disappointment. He should not be
telling the whole truth if he did not say, also, that the
emigration had been stayed by a dangerous reliance by
the people upon a hope of coming deliverance, not by
constitu.i nal means ; and very many were waiting only
to see wl eti er it came or not. If these hopes were
disappointed—if the Legislature put no check upon the
arbitrary power of the landlord, and another attempted
insurrection had to be crushed—and that one
would be crushed, if it were crushed, in blood—they
would see an exodus from Ireland compared with which
all they had seen was but trifling. The spectacle would
be that of a god-like people who, leaving their temples,
and shaking the dust from their feet, would say, Let us
arise, and let us go hence f and then Europe would be
startled by the wail of a nation that left its curse to its
oppressors. He knew there were people who would say,
' Let them go, and let Englishmen take their place.' Did
they think the Irish people would submit to that, or that
when they went they would not carry with them feelings
of vengeance ?"

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BcRY (LANCASHIRE).----Lord Chelsea has now
definitely accepted the offer made to him by the
Conservatives of Bury, and has izsued a formal ad-

dress. The contest promises to be a hot one, as
both parties are united, and determined to do their
best to win ; but it may be remarked that Bury has
always as yet been repro ented by a Liberal.
CAMBRIDGItSIIII:E.—On. Saturday Mr. Brand
and. Mr. Young concluded their tour of the county
by addressing a meeting at Wisbech. Within the
last fortnight they have visited all the markets of
Cambridgeshire, and daily addressed the consti-
tuency ; the very general and hearty reception which
they have everywhere received leaves uo doubt of
the triumph of Liberal principles and the return of
the popular candidates. So dcubtful are the Con-
servatives of the result of the election that they had
on Saturday the assistance of the Tory baronet Sir
W. Bagge, the member for West Norfolk, in their
canvass. At the conclusion of the corn market

,he several candidates addressed the supporters,

Messrs. Young and Brand from a platform erected
in front of the committee-room, and Lord George
Manners and Viscount Royston from the windows

of the council chamber.

Etch meeting was nume-

rously attended, and a vote of confidence was car-
ried unanimously in favour of the Liberal candi-
datates. Conservatives and Tories alike cheered
their candidates, and each professed themselves con-
fident of the success of their representatives. Mr.
Brand is certainly- the most popular of the four can-
didates.

DROITWICIL—The Right Hon. Sir Juha Paling-
,on has issued an address to the electors of the

borough of Droitwich, soliciting re-election. After
adverting to the enlarged constituency of the
borough, and to the fact that " the coming general
election will take place under exceptional circum-
stances," on account more especially of the great
Church question, Sir John proceeds to say, " That
question involves an attack upon our Protestant in-
stitutions. 1 trust you will not be led away by the
fallacy that the effect of this change would be
to establish religious equality in Ireland. I fully
believe that, on the contrary, its effect would
be to reduce the Protestant Church in Ire-
land to the position of a sect, plundered,
depressed, and deprived of the support she now de-
rives from her existing organization and from the
authority of the Crown ; while the Roman Catho-
lic Church in that country, strong in her long-
established hierarchy, and submissive to laws and

government prescribed by the Sovereign Pontiff,
would be placed, free from the competition of auy

rival, on a vantage ground such as she has never
yet enjoyed under the Protestant Crown of these
kingdoms. I cannot believe that such a policy will
find favour with the British people. We are mairly

hymns. A French Dominican then gives an
address for the French, and afterwards there
is benediction for all. All the different com-
panies have night prayers in common every
evening, led sometimes by a chaplain, but
generally by the Sergeant-Major, after the
night appel, i.e. about 9.30.
There is a report that some more of the new
rifles are at last on their way from England.
It is to be hoped this will prove correct, as it
is expected that the troops at present here will
remain on rather longer than was expected at
first—that is, to the middle or end of Septem-
ber—so as to give them the opportunity of
practising with them. Ordinarily rain might
be expected before that date, but as we had so
much more than usual in the early part of the
year, we may perhaps yet hope that the rifles
will come in for use before this befalls.
