AN OLD PUBLIC SERVANT.

The belief expressed some time since that Si
George Grey would not hold office in the next
Liberal Government is now confirmed by the address
which the right hon. gentleman has just issued to
the electors of Morpeth. He states that he can no
longer hope to take as active a part in public affairs
as he has done in former years, although he will
support every measure tending to the welfare and
contentment of all parts of the empire. Sir
George belongs to the old Whig school,
and has always consistently supported the
Liberal party. He was first returned for Devon-
port in 1832, and entered office as Under Secretary
for the Colonies in July 1834 ; he held this post
until the following November, and was again ap-
pointed five monts later, continuing in this office
until 1839. Ile was then chosen Judge-Advocate-
Gcneral, which he held till June 1841, when he was
transferred to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of
Lancaster. On the advent of the Liberals to power
in 1810, he filled the Secretaryship of the
Home Department. He held this position
until Fcbraary 1832. In June 1854 he was appointed
Colonial Secretary, but in the February following he
again went to the Home Office, which he filled until
Lord Palmerston res;g,ned in 1858. When the noble
lord rezdied office in 1859, Sir George was a second
time Chancellor of the Duchy, but on the death of
Sir George Cornewall Lewis he was once more chosen
to represent the Home Department. In his address
to his constituents he makes no mention of either
Mr. Gladstone or the Irish Church question, although
he voted with the majority when the resolutions were
before the House.

PARIS, Oct. 2.

Her Royal Ilignuess the Crown Princess of
Prussia went to St. Cloud, yesterday, to visit the
Emperor and the Empress. Their Majesties will
return the visit at the Louvre Hotel to day.
The Moniteur of this morning says :
"The Plenipotentaries of the Governments of
the six States bordering the Rhine have signed,
on the 14th instant, the Rhine Navigation Conven-
tion, as recently revised, together with the regula-
tions and protocols thereto annexed."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-S TREET.

A GENTLEMAN FALLING AMONGST THIEVES IN
THE HAYMARKET.—EIIen Harding and Catherine
Foster, two prostitutes, were charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing, in the Haymarket, a gold
watch and scarf pin, of the value of 118, the pro-
perty of Mr. Michael O'Brien, gentleman residing
at No. 4, Westbourne-grove.

The prosecutor was first charged with being
drunk and incapable, and fined ss.

Police-constable Francis Attwood, 186 C, said
--About half-past one this morning, 1 saw the
prisoners coming up the Haymarket with a drunken
gentleman between them. Knowing Harding I
watched them, and when within two yards of Har-
ding I saw her put her hand into the gentleman's
waistcoat pocket, and take out his watch and
chain, and at the same time Foster put her
hand into his trowsers pocket. I seized both

the prisoners. A crowd got round us, and I thought
'larding passed something. Another constable
came to my assistance, and when we got to the

Regent Circus Harding threw something away,
and the nonstable picked it up—it was a gold pin.
We took the prisoners to the station, where they
were searched, and a gold watch was found on

.arding.

Jeremiah Mead, 336 R, said—The last witness
asked me to take Harding to the station, and I did
so, and while going along she threw something
away, which I found, on picking up, to be a pin.
Harding—l acknowledge it fell from my cloak,
but I did not throw it away.
Mrs. Charlotte Cane, female searcher at Vine-
street—Harding said she wished she might be
struck dead if she had any property about her that
did not belong to her, but I found upon her the
watch.

Mr. Michael O'Brien, of No. 4, Westbourne-
grove, said—l had been dining with some friends
yesterday, and Ido not recollect what occurred. I
had my watch and chain with me, but I recollect

nothing else. The watch now produced is my pro-
perty, and of the value of £lB. My chain, of the
value of £l5, was taken from me.
Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, asked for a remand.
with the view of proving former convictions, which
was granted.

ITYMNALS.

The opinion given as to the use of unauthorised
hymnbooks in churches appears to have been obtained
by Archdeacon Wordsworth, who wrote to the Bishop
of Oxford upon the matter. The Bishop replied:
"I did not feel able to answer so important a ques-
tion as yours without fortifying my opinion by that
of my chancellor (Sir R. Phillimore). So fortified,
I may say that he is of opinion (1) that a private
clergyman has no right to adopt at his own arbitrium
a new set of hymns for use in a church ; and (2) that
it is within the power of the bishop to authorise the
use of a set of hymns, either in his diocese or in any
separate parish of it." A clergyman, as we all know,
may be told by a bishop that he has no right
to do a thing, and may yet persist in doing
it. At present the hymnbook is the prin-
cipal means of propagating extreme views. Should
finda Calvinistic clergyman that the Prayer-book is
not sufficiently explicit upon " predestination " and
" election," he finds refuge in a hymn, and the con-
gregation hear
liitualist cannot discover anything in the Liturgy
which justifies Ma riolatry, and so, • taking
advantage of the reformer's provision for
the recreation of the laity, he manages to
to enforce all his extreme views by the introduction
of hymns in various parts of the service, and with
these knocks the Prayer-book into, ship-shape.
" ITymns Ancient .and Modern " have been more
generally used than any other, but even they have
failed to comprehend all the parties in the Church.

THE " TABLET."

Mr. Wallis, the editor of the Tablet, has annotmcei
with some satisfaction that in relinquishing th

management of that paper he places it in such good
hands as Dr. Vatighan's. He says : "Itis a satisfac-
tion to me to know that I am handing the Tablet
over to one of the ' old English Catholics. I
don't think I would have conveyed it to anybody
but an Englishman ; and, speaking generally, and
allowing for exceptions, I should not be well pleased
if I had parted with it to a convert." Had he for-
gotten that the Archbishop of Westminster is a
convert, and that converts who exhibit the necessary
subordination to ecclesiastical authority are received
with some favour at Rome ? It may be that the
editorship of the Tablet is with him a post requiring
higher qualifications than an archbishopric.

MY LORD MAYOR.

We should think no previous Lord Mayor has
managed through bad judgment to commit so many
mistakes within his mayoralty as Mr. Alderman
Allen has within his. The exalted way in which he
has performed those little courtesies which have
made the Lord Mayoralty so popular is only equalled
by the mistakes he has committed in the really im-
portant part of his office. lle was very severely
handled at the last Court of Aldermen. In calling
the meeting for the- relief of the sufferers by
the great earthquake in Peru, he ordered it
to le assembled at Guildhall. Hitherto all
these meetings have been held at the Mansion
House, and the fund has been superintended by the
Lord Mayor himself. Not so now, however. The
whole thing has been put by Mr. Allen into the
hands of Mr.,. Sidney Smith, the official at the Guild-
hall. He himself . has taken, little part in it. The
forthcothing Lord Mayor is not likely to err in
matters of form. He is goingfrom the Guildhall to
Westminster on " Lord Mayor's Day," in all the
glory with which the ancient State coach, men in
armour, &c. can surround him. It may be added
that to-day the freedom of the City is to be given
to Field-Marshal Sir John Burgoyne.

TWO MORE JUDGES IN IRELAND.

If Mr. Disraeli can claim to have done nothing
else, and if his policies are stolen ones, there is one
matter Clovemment is original. Tho
Conservative Administration can claim to have given
more titles within their time than any other since
Pitt's. What with judges, bishops, &am, and
canons, a duke, and several MIA, with baronets
and knights wl Pt (not to speak of posts
which do not give .a man " a handle to
his name "), one would hope that Mr. Disraeli is
satisfied. Two moro appointments to Irish judgeships
have just been dispensed; Mr. Warren, the Attorney-
General, having become judge of the Probate
Court, while the Solicitor-Gerieral has received
the post of judge in bankruptcy, vacant through the
death of Mr. Berwick in the Abergele catastrophe.
Mr. Warren's, promotion is caused by the retirement
of Judge Keatinge, who is 74 years of age, and has
had a seat on the judicial bench since 1843. Mr.
Keatingo is the fifth Irish judge who has been placed
upon the pension list since the present Government
came into oflice, while in. England “ve and in Scot-
land two judges have been similarly superannuated.

THE EAST.

The Pesth correspondent of the Times discredits the
fabulous accounts of combinations, insurrections, &c., which
come from the East. He says the Turks are somewhat in
the position of the Persians of old : most of the informa-
tion about what passes in their country is learnt from the
accounts of their enemies. It is quite true that risings
have taken place ; nay, more, they have been fostered in
broad daylight by the Bulgarian Committee, but the
success of these proceedings were not proportionate to
their boldness. The Governments of England, France, and
Turkey were fully aware of all that was going on, and by
their interference the game was stopped. In Servia
every -
thing is going on well ; the new regency works har-
moniously.

The same writer says that Prince Napoleon, during hi:
summer visit to the East, refused all complicity in
Roumanian intrigues. He expected a private reception,
and quite lost his temper at the elaborate preparations
made.

Every story, however, has its converse. The Vienna
journals are just now busy with an alliance said to have
been concluded between Russia and Roumania. The
object of this alliance is, of course, the strengthening oi

THE: POOR• LAMP BOARD ON THE ALERT.

Under the influence of public opinion, the Poor-
law Board give signs now and then of waking up,
and of attempting to shake off that lethargy which
has been its characteristic for years. Now and then,
indeed, the voice of some one who complains of being
ill-treated reaches its ear, and the complaint is
investigated. That it can be of use as a central
institute in supervising local action is shown when-
ever it tries to use its influence in this way.
An " official " inquiry has just been con-
cluded at the Lambeth workhouse, which spews
that the Board still exists. A girl named
Garnham was put into a dark cell as a
punishment for insubordinate behaviour, and when
thrust into the place her head was, intentionally or
otherwise, knocked against the wall. A succession of
fits took place, followed by such a prostration of
strength that she was not expected to recover, and a
magistrate took what was supposed to have been her
dying deposition. These facts coming to the know-
ledge of the Poor-law Board, Dr. Markham, the
Goverrinient inspector, was instructed to make
inquiries. Ile has done so, and his report will soon
be made public.

THE NATAL DIFFICULTY.
A letter signed " Sydney G edge " appears in the
Timex upon the subject of the late action of the
monthly board of the S. P. C. K. It has been the
custom of this board to make grants only on the
recommendation of the standing committee, and
unless this custom is adhered to, or the meetings of
the board are held less often, so that members of the
society who live out of London may attend
them, he foresees that an organised clique
can snatch an • unfair triumph. A letter
from one of the 94 who voted against the :C2,000
grant appears in the Herahl. The writer has no
sympathy with Colenso, but is not prepared to ignore
the Queen's supremacy. He says that the members
of the English Church Union are no Churchmen, and
he heard one of them say, " Oh ! hang Caesar," when
it was asked where was the Queen's mandate for con-
secra+ion. He trusts that the resolution carried on
the Cth will be rescinded, and that £2,000, or even
more, may be allotted in such cases only as the
standing committee may approve.
London, England, 1868-10-21

THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.

- -
A visitation has been held in Nantwich parish
church by the Bishop of Chester. His charge
throughout was a most impartial one. He found
fault with the different parties in the Church for
their sins of omission and comnlission. Ile wished
for every possible liberty, but to this liberty there
must be a limit. He remarked that " some minds,
of course, might sympathise with the non jurors in
their wish that all the characteristic peculiarities of
the first Prayer-book of Edward VI. had been persist-
ently retained. Others, on the other hand, said that
no subsequent revision of the Book of Common
Prayer had ever departed far enough from the
original of 1549. But, waiving all considerations
of such extreme views, they had to remember that
for all practical purposes their service book was for
them what the last review made it; and, further,
that nothing conduced more to settling the peace of
this nation, which was desired by all good men, nor
to the 'honour of our religion and the propagation
thereof, than an outward agreement in the worship
of Almighty God." He condemned the practice
of supplementing the Book of Common Prayer by the
"Directorium Anglicanum,' and objected to the doc-
trine that whatever was not expressly abrogated at the
Reformation was still legally binding. On the other
hand, he condemned the omissions of the Low
Church party, and complained that in many cases no
heed was given to the direction which • required the
clergy to declare to the people what holy days and
fast days occurred during the week—directions as
plain and distinct as those for the sermon ; the bread
and wine were placed upon the holy table by other
hands, and at another time than was enjoined by the
rubric ; and the consecrated elements were adminis-
tered to more than one communicant at a time. He
made only a passing allusion to the great
political crisis at hand. The Bishop refuted the
statement of those who date our • national Chris-
tianity from the arrival of the monk Augustine,
forgetting the presumptive evidence which most
impartial writers had recognised, of the knowledge
of the Gospel having reached Britain, more or less
directly, from the East, and not through Rome.
They ignored the time, little, if at all short of five
centuries, of a Church which had her ma/ lyrs in
the persecution under Diocletian, and was repre-
sented by three bishops in three councils—a Church
of whose service and discipline they were permitted
awrething- -dthousch the rgeordk.zaidt.

THE BIBLE IN SPADT.

The British and Foreign Bible Society evince
;Teat anxiety to introduce Protestantism into
-Spain in the shape of the Bible. Hardly has
religious freedom been declared when the society
issues its appeal for moneys towards circu-
lating the Scriptures in the land. Not only so, but,
if we may believe the advertisement, the society has
been long-sighted as well as prompt. In view of the
time when freedom should be declared, they had
ready " large supplies near the frontier at several
points," and some of their books have already
been taken into Spain. The editor of e
Advertiser seems to have been in the confi-
dence of General Prim. Three months ago, he
says, he received repeated assurances of the most
emphatic kind, from General Prim's own lips, that in
the event of his attaining to a prominent place in the
Government of Spain every facility would be given
to the circulation of the Bible in that country, accom-
panied with the most perfect freedom of religious
faith and practice.

summer visit to the East, refused all complicity in
Roumanian intrigues. Ile expected a private reception,
and quite lost his temper at the elaborate preparations
made.

Every story, however, has its converse. The Vienna
journals are just now busy with an alliance said to have
been concluded between Russia and Roumania. The
object of this alliance is, of course, the strengthening ci
these two States and the weakening of Austria,

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52
Fleet-street, hakk introduced an entirely new 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 i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-

THE SONG OF A SHIRT.

The following appears in the Manchester Courier Sir,
will you kindly allow mo to insert in your valuable
paper a caution to the needlewomen of Manchester? Being
a widow, I applied for work to one of our merchant
princes. I got twelve shirts to finish ; I returned them
to the warehouse, and was most munificently rewarded
with ls. 4d. for a week's work. I had to stitch in the
linings, fell the shirts, put in the gussets, and neck and
make sixty button-holes, finding my own thread. Now,
sir, I ask you whether such infamous ccnduct to poor
women is not pinching, and compelling them to com-
mit crimes which are too horrible to mention. I
can now thoroughly appreciate the goodness of Mist
Eye in taking away so many from the influence of
such temptation to the needlewomen of large towns ; aria
I hope, if only for the sake of the young girls who aro
compelled to exist on such slender means as I have men-
tioned above, that such benevolent ladies will meet with
success in their holy undertaking. By inserting the above,
you will oblige yours, &c., " A WiDOw."

TWO MORE JUDGES IN IRELAND.

If Mr. Disraeli can claim to have done nothing
else, and if his policies are stolen ones, there is one
matter in which his Government is original. The
Conservative Administration can claim to have given
more titles within their time than any other since
Pitt's. What with judges, bishops, deans, and
canons, a duke, and several peers, with baronets
and knights ad lib. (not to speak of posts
which do not give a man " a handle to
his name "), one would hope that Mr. Disraeli is
satisfied. Two more appointments to Irish judgeships
have just been dispensed; Mr. Warren, the Attorney-
General, having become judge of the Probate
Court, while the Solicitor-General has received
the post of judge in bankruptcy, vacant through the
death of Mr. Berwick in the Abergele catastrophe.
Mr. Warren's, promotion is caused by the retirement
of Judge Keatinge, who is 74 years of age, and has
had a seat on the judicial bench since 1843. Mr.
Keatinge is the fifth Irish judge who has been placed
upon the pension list since the present Government
came into office, while in England ..ve and in Scot-
land two judges have been similarly superannuated.

AN ACTRESS AT HOME.

Lady Annie Sherson, sister of the benevolent
Marquis Townshend, went into the country With an
invalid friend. She was not fortunate in her choice
of a guardian for her house and property. The
person employed had other duties. She was engaged
to perform the character of " Britannia" at the
Trevor Music Hall, Knightsbridge. She sought
relaxation from the fatigues of her profession by
wearing her mistress's best silk dresses, and aysum-
ing the character of the lady of the house. Lady
Annie received an intimation of her proceedings,
and immediately returned to town, opened the door
of her house with a latch-key, and found the woman
bedizened with her finery, and in company of a man.
The house had been completely stripped, and forty
pawnbroker's tickets were found upon the girl. The
delinquent has pleaded guilty, and sentence is deferred
to give her an opportunity of tendering information
as to the stolen property. Trustworthy servants may
be very scarce, but her ladyship's carelessness is un-
accountable.

THE OLDEST MAN IN ENGLAND.

A correspondent from Cheltenham writes to the
Times to announce the death of the oldest man in
England. He died on October 12, at the age of 112
years. The register contains no entry of his bap-
tism, but this is believed to have been his age. He
was working in the dockyard at Sheerness when the
Royal George was sunk (1782). The old man said
some time ago that he remembered, when a child
four years old, being taken by his mother to
see an illumination in honour of the coronation
of King George 111. in 1700. It is a curious fact
hat in the very highest and very lowest grades there
are such remarkable instances of longevity. The
agricultural labourer, passing an existence in which
any mental activity is almost wanting, and the law
peer or statesman, whose whole life has been a course
of severe mental toil, live these remarkably long

FOREIGN NOTES.

AMERICA.

The contest for General Butler's seat in Biassaclinsetta
promises to be very interesting. The Republican
" bolters "—those who are dissatisfied with the regular
party nomination—are resolved to have nothing to do with
General Butler, and have nominated Mr. R. H. Dana,
author of " Two Years Before the Mast." As the dis-
trict is one of the most intelligent in the Union, the new
candidate is said to hare an excellent chance. But the
Democrats are expected to vote for Butler! They feel con-
fident that he will ruin his party by " his moral obliquity
and pent-up hatred of General Grant," and are therefore
really anxious to keep him in Congress.

---
Mr. John Quincy Adams, son of Mr. Reverdy John-
son's predecessor, has come forward as a Democratic can-
didate for the governorship of Massachusetts. Though
comparatively a young man, he is looked upon as one of
the most respectable rising Democrats; and, judging by
a letter he has written to South Carolina, he deserves this
position. Though a Democrat, he apprehends that if his
party be defeated in this contest it will be because the
results of the war are thought to be in danger. No party
could maintain itself which should repudiate the war or
surrender its acquisitions. Constitutional or not, the
right to secede can be practicable only in the form
of revolution. Slavery, Le says, is stone dead. The
hasty and inconsiderate legislation on the subject of
slavery in the Southern States did more than anything
else to fasten universal suffrage upon the South. "The
Northern people, having freed the slaves and left them
still mingled with their former masters, could not with
decency or humanity abandon them naked to the savage
enmity which they were taught to believe you felt to
them, nor could they calmly look on to see those oppressed
of whose comfort and happiness they had become the
emardiar:-' "

CRITICISM.

Some of the Conservative journals have lately
adopted a style of comment which they have hitherto
deprecated in their contemporaries. Mr. Gladstone
is the subject of it. The other day one of these news-
papers, holding that the Liberal leader had made a
disingenuous statement in one of his speeches, charac-
terised it as an " impudent falsehood." Another
journal now speaks of his " malice," his " vindictive
nature ;" he is again accused of " deliberate
misrepresentation," and lie is said to hate his
opponents all the more from the consciousness
that their cause is not only just, but that
which he would have preferred to espouse.
He is found to be acting under the influence of the
stings of an uneasy conscience, and is pronounced
guilty of a " scurvy trick." " Hard words break no
bones," and the right honourable gentleman will take
no harm. The cause which he opposes is not likely
to derive any advantage from this sort of thing, but
the tone of political strife must certainly be dete-
riorated. What does the Lord Chancellor think of
such tactics ? He made a bold and manly challenge
on the floor of the House of Lords,and his peroration
was received with a tempest of applause. Is this the
way in which he would have the battle fought ?

SUICIDES IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.

WHAT is ic an unsound mind ?" According to
coroners' juries anybody is of unsound mind who
destroys his body. Yet the noblest of heathen,
EPICTETUS and Mailers AnnELurs, believed that
suicide was a perfectly logical and justifiable
action. True, they were " heathen," and the two girls
who threw themselves into the Regent's Canal on
Friday were " Christian." We doubt, however, if
the Christianity was more than surface deep, was at
all better than, or even nearly so good as the
heathenism of those great " seekers after GOD "
whose lives and teaching Mr. FARRAR has just
described in one of the most fascinating books ever
published. Moreover, religion apart, there seems to
be actually no trace whatever of insanity in this case,
or in countless others, which, if jurors were honest
and not deterred by the thought of " maimed funeral
rites," they would return as self-felony. In
the Regent's Canal case there was every ele-
ment to disgust, scarcely any to excite pity.
Two girls deliberately walk up to a bridge
over one of the foetid London canals, and on
their way pass two other girls, and tell them that they
s
are going to " make away with themselves." The
couple accompany the first as though the
four were taking an ordinary walk. Arrived at the
bridge, the first couple take off some of their clothing,
and one of them finds a fourpenny-piece in her
pocket, which she gives to the second couple, because
it will be of no use to her in the canal, and she
has not heard of the obolus which CHARON demands
for ferrying across the Styx. The two suicides
climb on to the parapet, and, holding hand in hand,
leap through the dark night into the darker
water. The two spectators say " Good GOD ! " pick
up the clothes and put them on " because it is a cold
night," pocket the fourpence with as much satisfac-
tion as the heir to some crabbed uncle pockets a
fortune, and then walk home, agreeing to tell no one
until the next morning, fearing, we suppose,
that the suicides might be rescued, restored to life,
and reclaim the bonnets and the four-
penny-piece. An inquest is held ; all these facts
are stated, with the additional information that

_LI EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the

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,
