IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

THIS DAY.

HER MAJESTY'S APPROVAL OF THE SPEAKER.
Mr Denison to-day appeared in the House o f
Commons in a court suit, and what is called a
" bobwig ;" and on the members being again sum-
moned by Black Rod to the House of Peers, the
right hon. gentleman took precedence, and arriving
at the bar, stated to the Lords Commissioners that,
in obedience to her Majesty's commands, her Ma-
jesty's faithful Commons, in the exercise of their
undoubted rights and privileges, had proceeded to
the election of a Speaker, and their choice had
fallen upon himself. lie therefore submitted him-
self, with all humility, to her Majesty's most gra-
cious approbation.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, addressing the right
honourable gentleman by his name, assured him
that her Majesty was fully sensible of his zeal for
the public service, and of his sufficiency to perform
the important duties he had been selected to dis-
charge and most readily approved and confirmed
him as the Speaker of her faithful Commons.

Mr. J. E. DENISON then bowed to her Majesty's
command, and then laid claim on behalf of the
Commons to their ancient and undoubted rights
and privileges, " especially to freedom from arrest
and molestation of their persons and servants, to
freedom of speech in debate, and free access
to her Majesty whenever occasion shall require,"
concluding with the request that the most
favourable construction might be put upon all their
proceedings, and that any errors that might occur
in the discharge of their duties might be imputed
to himself alone, and not to her Majesty's faithful
Commons.

The LORD CHANCELLOR then addressed the right
hon. gentleman as " Mr. Speaker," and gave
an assurance that her Majesty most readily con-
firmed all the rights and privileges which have
been granted by her royal predecessors, and would
be ever ready to put the most favourable construc-
tion upon the
_right hon. gentleman's words and
actions.

The Speaker then returned to the House of Com-
mons and reported what had passed to the House
of Peers, and thenceforward assumed his ordinary
official garb, and the swearing in of members com-
menced, and was continued up to the hour of ad-
journment.

ME. BRIGHT ON THE DEFENCE.

It appears that on the declaration of the poll at
Liverpool Mr. Turner made some charges against
Mr. Bright which have drawn a long letter from
that gentleman. Mr. Turner was reported to have
said on that occasion that Mr. Bright had declared
an Englishman in Ireland an alien, and that he
ought not to possess property there. Mr. Bright has
challenged Mr. Turner upon the point, and he
takes refuge behind the Standard. The Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade tells him in
the first place that the report is incorrect, and denies
all the charges circumstantially. The right hon.
gentleman is very angry, and gives Mr. Turner a
wholesome lecture. Mr. Bright has been in the
presence of Majesty, and was found quite tame and
harmless.. He even kissed the Queen's hand, and
she will in future. take his advice in Council. Many
an ardent politician has not hesitated at various
times to hint at the prompt execution of Mr.
Bright as an act of sound policy. Now that
he is the President of the Board of Trade it
will be as well to discontinue such nonsense.
The right hon. gentleman has written to Mr. Henry
Ibbetson, of Sheffield, to state the pleasure he derives
from his friends' approval of his conduct. He joined
the Administration with extreme reluctance, but the
pressure put upon him was more than he could
withstand.

THE INUNDATIONS IN YORKSHIRE,

During Tuesday the down-pour or rain water from the
hills caused considerable overflow of most of the North Riding
rivers. The Foss, from York to Sheriff Hutton, the Derwent,
the Ouse, the Rye, the Upper Derwent, and smaller rivers,
were all in flood, and from the hills their broad sheets of
water could bo traced for miles. Between eight o'clock on
Sunday night and eight on Monday morning the rain-
fall at Halifax was 1.15 inches ; and between eight on
Monday night and eight on Tuesday morning it was 1.8.
As a consequence, the streams in the neighbourhood were
very much swollen yesterday. Tho Calder overflowed its
banks in manyplaces bet ween Luddenden Foot an d Brighouse,
and many mills, both on this river and the Ryburn, were
stopped by backwater. Had the rain continued a few hours
longer much damage to property on the banks of the
rivers would have been caused. There has been a
" fresh" in the Don for several days, and on Tuesday
night the water overflowed the banks and flooded an be-
mense tract of country. On Wednesday morning the in-
habitan of Marshgate, Doncaster, a low-lying district
of the , immediately abutting on the river, were
alarmed by the rapid approach of the flood towards their
very doors. In a very !Alert timo it was pouring down into
the cellars, rising up into th• kitchens, almost to the
oven doors, and taking full and complete possession of the
ground-floors of all the dwellings. both back and front.
The street was flooded, and foot Passengers had to bo con-
veyed in carts for a considerable distance. Of course the
inhabitants bad to betake themselves to the upper storeys,
and there they remained up to last night, though the flood
is fast ebbing. For several years past Marshgate has been
almost free from these once very frequent inundations, and
it is eight years since so high a flood invaded the locality.
Two cases of drowning of persons pursuing the dangerous
occupation of angling for wood and flotsam are reported.

SPAIN.

The Liberte announces the receipt of important letters
from Spain. "Some of these are confidential, and cannot be
reproduced ;" but their general tenour is that Spain is
rapidly advancing to the fatal collision of parties which
the Republicans are so anxious to avert. The democratic
party is willing to do anything in order to avoid the
calamity which is now impending—a reproduction in the
revolution of 1868 of the results of that of 1854. The
Liberty is the advocate of a republic for Spain, and is
in some sort the French representative of the Spanish
Democrats.

THE WAR OFFICE.

. .
There are to be great changes in our military
system. The Ordnance Select Committee is to be
abolished, root and branch. There is to be a supreme
head, with the title of Director-General of Ordnance
and Commandant of the Royal Arsenal. This
appointment is already made, and the heads of
departments in the arsenal are already ordered to
report to him. Tie will have an. office at the
War Department, where he will have an Assistant
or Deputy Assistant Director-General of. Ordnance
permanently established. He assumes the functions
of the late Director of Ordnance, and of the late
president of the Select Committee, in addition to his
new duties as commandant of the arsenal. lie will
have the rank of major-general, and his deputy will
be a colonel. Some of the members of the Ordnance
Select Committee will return to • their duties
in the army. Two Assistant Directors of
Ordnance will be appointed, officers of the
rank of captain, and will be employed at Wool-
wich in work hitherto performed by the Select
Committee. When -any proposition of more than
ordinary importance comes before the notice of the
Director-General, a sub-committee will be a_ssembled
composed of men having special knowledge, and will
examine and report upon the matters referred to its
discussion, The Standard looks upon the matter as a
genuine •coup d'etat, and hints that economy in this
case may have to be purchased at the risk of effi-
ciency. Perhaps Parliament will have something to
say in the matter.

LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.

The prizes and certificates given for the Oxford
local examinations were distributed the other night
at Willis's Rooms. In the absence of Mr. Gathorne
Hardy, Dr. Haig Brown took the chair. He told
his audience that in this, their tenth year, GJ per
cent. of the senior, and rather more of the Junior
classes had passed the test—a test which had been
every year becoming more and more severe. He
alluded to the influence of education on the prosperity
of nations, adducing the instances of Holland and
Spain as evidences how far cultivated intelligence
might triumph over adverse circumstances, and of how
little use were mere natural advantages in the absence
of intelligence and cultivation. Prizes and certifi-
cates were then delivered to 08 students in the
senior, foul 208 students in the junior classes. In
Cambridge the local examinations will commence on
Monday next, December 14, and will be held at 30
centres. The number of candidates are as follows :
Boys : 1,1(34 juniors, 218 seniors ; girls : 241 juniors
and 100 seniors. Yc.rhshire now stands second to
Middlesex only in the work it is doing in connection
with the Cambridge loc4d examinations.

THE LAST FEW RACING DODGE.

The Turf bids fair to become the choicest abode ot
roguery. Every season sees some fresh trick, and it
will soon be impossible to run a fair race. The last
device of the turlites has been to telegraph to London
the scratching of the favourite for the Kingsbury
races. The Nun had been selected as winner by all
the prophets, and, as it proved, selected rightly. But
at the verY4iwe_that the horse was winning, some
clever knave " wired " a " scratch," and the announce-
ment duly appeared in the sporting: journals.
London, England, 1868-12-11

THE PEABODY FUND.

The Times contains two letters upon the subject of
Mr. Peabody's trust. One is from the vicar of St.
Thomas, Charterhouse; the other from a barrister
of the Inner Temple. The former complains that
there is a stratum of poor below the class reached by
Mr. Peabody's trustees—struggling poor, deserving
of our sympathy. These require a little temporary
help to enable them to pay their rent or provide
sustenance for themselves and families during
sickness or a trying winter. The rev, gentle..
man makes an appeal for this class. " A Barrister "
writes in the same strain. He tried hard some time
ago to find cheap lodgings for a working man with a
wife and five children and £1 a week. He obtained
two rooms for him in a model lodging-house, at a
rent of Gs. a week. The rooms were wretched. He
himself lives half a mile from the model lodging-
house, in comfortable chambers, at a less rent. The
proper administration of charity is almost as impor-
tant as the charity itself. Mr. Peabody has done his
part, and it is to be hoped the trustees will thoroughly
carry out his intentions. The abuse of the gigantic
sums he has given would be a great scandal.

PATRIOTISM REWARDED.

The reverse of the motto "No song, no supper "•
has just received a striking illustration. The Record
announces that the Duke of Buckingham has recom-
mended the Rev. Thomas Goodwin Hatchard, rector
of St. Nicholas, Guildford, and rural dean, to be the
Bishop of Mauritius, and that her Majesty the Queen
has graciously sanctioned his Grace's well-advised "
recommendation. The broken vase retains the scent
of roses, and the broken Ministry its characteristics.
It will be remembered that it was at the Church of
St. Nicholas, Guildford, where "Our dear old Church
of England " was sung during the services on a
Sunday. The rector has good reason, it appears, for
his laudation of that institution.

The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Dr.
Ryan, now Archdeacon of Suffolk. Mi. Hatchard
was ordained priest in 1841 by the Bishop of Win-
chester. His present preferment is worth £OOO
year and a house. He is domestic chaplain to the
Marquis of Conyngham. He is, like all the recently-
made bishops, an Oxford man. He is the author of
some sermons, among them one in monosyllables for
children.

ground-floors of all the dwellings, both back and front.
The street was flooded, and foot lassengcrs had to be con-
veyed in carts for a considerable distance. Of course the
inhabitants had to betake themselves to the upper storeys,
and there they remained up to last night, though the flood
is fast ebbing. For several years past Marshgate has been
almost free from these once very frequent inundations, and
it is eight years since so high a flood invaded the locality.
Two cases of drowning of persons pursuing the dangerous
occupation of angling for wood and flotsam are reported.

LATEST INTELLEGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

R 0 CIMANIA.

BUCHAREST, Dec. 7.

The draft of the address of the Chamber of De-
puties, in reply to the speech from the Throne,
appreciates the conciliatory views expressed therein,
and speaks in favourable terms of the new Cabi-
net. It promises that the early attention of the

House shall be devoted to the estimates
of the budget, and expresses a hope that
the balance of receipts and expenditure
will speedily be restored. It approves the
measures proposed by the Government for
the improvement of popular education and the
increase of the means of communication. Special
stress is laid upon the desirability of good relations
with the Porte and with foreign Powers.

M. Cogalintscheano, the Minister of the Interior,
has issued a circular, addressed to the Prefects, re-
assuring the inhabitants that whatever their creed
or nationality they may rely upon receiving protec-
tion from the Government, and guaranteeing the

liberty of the press, independence of public func-
tionaries, and a further development of administra-
tive decentralisation. The assiduous pursuit of
agricultural improvement is recommended as the
best means of promoting the wealth of the country.

Mr. Alexander Crescu has been appointed Minis-
ter of Public Instruction, replacing M. Calimachi
Papadopulo. M. Gadesena, former Minister of
Justice, bas been appointed Director of the Court
of Cassation.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The list of petitions lengthens. In addition to
those mentioned previously we find the following.
Petitions against the return of Mr. Howel Gwyn
(C.), Brecon ; Mr. Samuelson (L.), Cheltenham;
Messrs. Hornby (C.) and Feilden (C.), Blackburn
Messrs. Price (L.) and Monk (L.) Gloucester (Mr.
Monk was unseated as member for the same consti-
tuency in 1859) ; and it is rumoured that Messrs.
Wise (C.) and Hardy (C.) will be petitioned against
by the South Warwiclishire Liberals. The Tinzet
gives currency to a rumour that another election will
shortly take place in Marylebone, and that Mr.
Milner Gibson will come forward, but does not state
which of the sitting members, Messrs. Lewis and
Chambers, will retire, nor the reason of the reported
vacancy.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely now de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed. without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE PEABODY FUND.

The Times contains two letters upon the subject of
Mr. Peabody's trust. One is from the vicar of St.
Thomas, Charterhouse ; the other from a barrister
of the Inner Temple. The former complains that
there is a stratum of poor below the class reached by
Mr. Peabody's trustees—struggling poor, deserving
of our sympathy. These require a little temporary
help to enable them to pay their rent or provide
sustenance for themselves and families during
sickness or a trying winter. The rev. gentle-
man makes an appeal for this class. " A Barrister "
writes in the same strain. lie tried hard some time
ago to find cheap lodgings for a working man with a
wife and five children and £1 a week. He obtained
two rooms for him in a model lodging-house, at a
rent of Gs. a week. The rooms were wretched. He
himself lives half a mile from the model lodging-
house, in comfortable chambers, at a less rent. The
proper administration of charity is almost as impor-
tant as the charity itself. Mr. Peabody has done his
part, and it is to be hoped the trustees will thoroughly
carry out his intentions. The abuse of the gigantic
sums he has given would be a great scandal.

PATRIOTISM REWARDED.

The reverse of the motto "No song, no supper "
has just received a striking illustration. The Record
announces that the Duke of Buckingham has recom-
mended the Rev. Thomas Goodwin Ilatchard, rector
of St. Nicholas, Guildford, and rural dean, to be the
Bishop of Mauritius, and that her Majesty the Queen
has graciously sanctioned his Grace's " well-advised "
recommendation. The broken vase retains the scent
of roses, and the broken Ministry its characteristics.
It will be remembered that it was at the Church of
St. Nicholas, Guildford, where " Our dear old Church
of England " was sung during the services on a
Sunday. The rector has good reason, it appears, for
his laudation of that institution.

The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Dr.
Ryan, now Archdeacon of Suffolk. Mr. Hatchard
was ordained priest in 1841 by the Bishop of Win-
chester. His present preferment is worth £OOO a
year and a house. He is domestic chaplain to the
Marquis of Conyngham. He is, like all the recently-
made bishops, an Oxford man. He is the author of
some sermons, among them one in monosyllables for
children.

A RARE -VERDICT;

There is a celebrated tale of a jury acquitting a
man on a certain charge, but warning him not to do
it again. A verdict given at Sheffield the other day
was almost ca remarkable. A man was tried for
stealing a plated cup, and after the jury had delibe-
rated an hour they returned into court with a verdict
of guilty, but recommended the man to mercy
because the evidence with regard to possession was
unsatisfactory. The prisoner's counsel claimed an
acquittal. One of the jurors repudiated the verdict of
the foreman, but the latter maintained that he had
given the united verdict aright. The jury were com-
pelled to retire again, when the foreman gave their
verdict as " Guilty; but we recommend him •to
mercy." An inspector said the prisoner was a well-
known thief, and that his house was the resort of all
the travelling thieves in the country ; and when the
chairman asked if they still recommended the
prisoner to mercy, the foreman answered, timidly,
" No." The offender was sentenced to eighteen
months' imprisonment. It was evident that atleast one
of the jury had doubts as to the man's guilt. If so,
the verdict was an unjust one, let the man be ever such
a well-known thief. [le was not tried for that, but
for a specific charge. Perhaps this owl of a juror
does not understand the distinction. The chairman
ought to do so.
