FOREIGN OFFICE AGENCIES.

According to a parliamentary paper just issued,
there appears to be a difference of opinion between
the Foreign Office and the Treasury with respect to the
claims of the Foreign-office agents. The Lords of the
Treasury did not concur in the views expressed by Lord
Stanley, that those agents would have a just claim
to compensation if the system of agency were abolished,
and therefore it became necessary for his lordship to deter-
mine what steps it might be possible to take with a view
to the eventual abolition of that system. Lord Stanley,
however, is still of opinion that a system which for more
than three-quarters of a century has, after repeated
and full inquiry, been sanctioned by successive
Secretaries of State must be held to have acquired such a
degree of admitted permanency as to entitle those clerks
who have been engaged in carrying it on to look upon
it as a recognised source of emolument, and to expect com-
pensation if on public grounds it should he decided to
put an end to it. Under existing circumstances his lord-
ship does nt,t seem to be prepared to direct an abso-
lute and immediate prohibition of the system, but lays
down the following rules for its abolition, when the in-
terests which have grown up under it shall have been ex-
tinguished. First, that no clerk or other person
connected with the Foreign Office, except such as are at
the date of this minute (June 24, 1868) acting as agents,
shall hereafter, directly or indirectly, undertake to act as
such for any of her Majesty's diplomatic or consular
agents ; secondly, that, looking to the possibility of some
arrangement being hereafter made for abolishing agencies
on a grant of compensation, the emoluments derived by
an agent from any person who should enter the service
after the date of this minute, should not be taken
into account in estimating the amount of compensation
to be granted to an agent on a general abolition of the
system.

THE REPORT OF THE IRISH CHURCH

COMMISSION.

The report of the Established Church (Ireland) Com-
missioners was laid on the table of both Houses on the
day of prorogation of Parliament. The Dublin .Express
believes the following aro the material points of the
report. ¶1 he Coa.mksioners recommend a re-arrange-
recut and a reduction in the taunter of dioceses, and of the
incomes of the bishops, except in the case of Code.
They propose to reduce the number of sees to eight,
by distributing the ut.ittd dioceses of Cashel, Kil-
more, Meath, and Kdlaloo, amongst the edjoie-
leg sees. There was a difference of opinion as to
whether there should be two archbishops, or whether
Armagh alone should Le retained. They prepcse that On
Lord Primate shall have a clear income of £G,OOO a year;
the diocesan of Dublin, if an archbishop, £5,000, if only a
bishop, £4,500 ; and all the rest £3,000, with £5OO
extra for those n•lro have to attend in the House cf Lords.
They would abolish all the cathedral establishments
except those attached to the eight sees which are retained
St. Patrick's is to bo the one preserved for Dublin. They
would re-organise the cathedral staffs, and retain only two
vicars choral, with a emir of laymen, in each. The salaries
of the eight deans they would fix at £l,OOO a year each
except St. Patrick's, to whom they would allow £1,200.
The cathedrals of the merged sees they would c. nvert into
parish churches. They would reduce the number of arch-
deacons to not more than two for each diocese, and allow
them to be chosen from anyliving to be paid.£loo a year for
their services, and to be removable upon the appointment
of a new bishop. It is said that considerable encouragement
will be given to tenants under Church lease to purchase the
perpetuity, a lower scale being recommended. It is recom-
mended that unconverted Church leaseholds be vested in the
commissioners. Holders of land subject to tithe rent will
be enabled to redeem thorn. Incumbents are to be relieved
of the management of the glebe lands, except a limited portion
necessary for their own use. The increased duties iminsed
upon the Ecclesiastical Commissioners will necessarilyinvolve
a reconstruction of that body, and it is said that recommenda-

tions to that effect and to include a larger proportion of the lay
element are embodied in the report. There are also some
suggestions as to savings to be effected by having the Sacra-
mental elements ,no longer provided, or pariah clerks paid
by the Commissioners, and for a readjustment of the Church
revenues amongst the incumbents to bo effected by the sus-
pension of livings which are practically sinecures, and by
imposing an increased tax upon livings where the income is
large, and the Church population small. It is understood
that the clergy will be exempted from the payment of visi-
tation fees,

We regret to announce the death of the Earl of
Shannon, which took place on Saturday at Dr. Barter's
establishment, Blarney.

THE JUDGES' Cirammr.s. --Mr. Justice Black-
burn is still the vacation judge at chambers. Mr. Justice
Hannen will be " due " a week after the last commission
day at Liverpool, on Tuesday next.

It is expected that the harvest will be completed
in the South of England by the end of this week. The
yield of wheat will be about ton sacks an acre, nearly
double that of last year, and a third more than the
average.

THE NEW GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA--Mr. Du
Cane left England on Tuesday for Hobart Town, Tas•
mania, of which colony he has accepted the governorship.
He proceeded from Southampton in one of the Royal
West India Mail steam packets, and the Hon. Mrs. Du
Cane and family will follow him subsequently.

A memorial praying for commutation of the sen-
tence of death passed upon Lucy Buxton for the murder ci
her child has boon forwarded to the Home Secretary, but
we believe that no answer has yet been received thereto.
Therefore, in all probability, the law will bo carried out to
its fullest extent next Friday.

With regard to the accident at Manchester, the
Courier states that, of the eleven persons injured 14y the Fad
occurrence, and who were conveyed to the Royal Infirmary,
two or three of them havo sufficiently recovered to be able
to leave the institution. The remainder of the injured are
progressing favourably. There is only ono case iu which
doubts of recovery aro cnieltained.

MASS MEETING OF YORKSHIRE MINERS.—The
annual meeting of the Miners' Association for the Meth.
ley, Adwalton, and Leeds district was held on Hunslet
Moor on Tuesday. The statement of accounts presented
sheaved a decline in the contributions and a reduction on
the balance in hand, which is represented by £1,280. A
decrease in the membership is also repoi ted. Mr. J.
Holmes, Mr. Macdonald (the well-known miners' agent),
and others addressed the meeting. which was very largely
attended.

of the national credit is far beyond any temporary
calculation of dollars and cents.
The House of Representatives has passed a bill
providing for the Provisional Government of the
three excluded States—Virginia, Mississippi, and
Texas. It is plain that the delay in their so-called
reconstruction is welcomed by the Radicals as an
excuse for preventing them from returning their
quota of members to the Electoral College.
Owing to the terms of the Constitution, it would
be difficult even for them to maintain their
system of exclusion against the Southern whites.
The feeling against such exclusion is growing
stronger and stronger. The Georgia House of
Representatives, we learn, has passed a resolution
in favour of the removal of the political disabilities
of white inhabitants. Georgia is making progress,
for General MEADE has issued an order declaring
the supremacy of civil law. It is high time this
supremacy should be recognised all through the
South, and it would be absurd, if it were not so
oppressive and iniquitous, that martial law should be
maintained throughout a peaceable though deso-
lated country. It is only surprising that there
should have been so little evidence of disaf-
fection in the South considering the high spirit
of the people, and the indignities to which they have
been subjected by the Northern Radicals. Hap-
pily time is fighting their battles, and we can hardly
suppose that after the change which Congress
must undergo after the elections that the same
oppressive and arbitrary policy can be pursued in
defiance alike of reason, humanity, and justice.

The British Medical Association commenced its
session at Oxford yesterday, and the President, Dr.
N. ACLAND, delivered an interesting address. The
attendance of scientific men was more than usually
large, and foreign as well as British were present.
The President addressed himself, in the first place,
to the considei aiion of the position of medical
knowledge iu the world just now. One great draw-
back to success he traced to the fact that medicine
had too long been looked upon as an art,
and thus separated from science; whereas
it should be distinctly shown to be one

The Bard of Admiralty paid their annual visit
of inspection to Sheerness Dockyarl and the ships
in the harbour on Monday. The members of the
Board present were Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander
Milne, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Sydney Col-
poys Dacres, K.C.8., and Rear-Admiral Sir
Juhn Charles Dalrymple Hay, F.R.S., M.P. Lord
Henry Gordon Lennox, M.P., secretary to the
Board, and Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Construc-
tor of the Navy, were also present. The Board
arrived at Sheerness by train at 12 o'clock, and
were met by Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin W.Walker,
K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness; Cap-
tain-Superintendent W. King Hall, C.B , of the
dockyard, and the principal officers of the port. The
Board visted the storehouse, the masthouse, the
steam-factory, the Naval Barracks, and the ships
in the basin and docks. A new steam fire-engine,
lately delivered at Sheerness, and manufactured by
Messrs. Shand, Mason, ani Co. of Blackfriars-
road, London, was next inspected. The furnace
was laid with wood and shavings, and in 10 minutes
after applying a light the engine was started
with steam of upwards of 801 b pressure. A jet
two inches in diameter was first tried, and
attained a pressure of 100 lb on the square
inch. After working this for some time, some
stop valves were opened and others closed, when,
without stopping the engine, six jets were all work-
ing at the same time. Various other alterations in
the jets were shown, proving the power and effi-
ciency of the engine. The trial was in every re-
spect satisfactory. The engine is of the double
horizontal construction, and is the largest of its
kind, the weight being nearly three tons. A similar
engine, by the same firm, is nearly ready for Pem-
broke dockyard. The Board then embarked on
board the Admiral's barge and inspected the Lap-
well, to consider the advisability of building large
basins and docks, and a satisfactory opinion of the
place was expressed. The party after the inspec-
tion returned 'to shore and dined with Admiral
Walker. On Tuesday morning their Lordships
inspected her Majesty's ships Formidable and Cum-
berland, and were received on board the former ves-
sel with manned yards and the usual salute. After
leaving the Cumberland they embarked on board
Admiral Walker's steam yacht Wildfire, and left
Sheerness at 11 o'clock for Chatham.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant Horace J. M.
Pugh to the Peterel ; Lieutenant IL C. Wallis to
the Lion ; Lieutenant Charles A. Crespin to the
St. Vincent ; Lieutenant Robert W. Evans and
Lieutenant Alaric F. Grant to the Rattlesnake, ad-
ditional, for disposal.

Then commenced the pinioning of the condemned.
Their eyes wore bandaged, and their hands bound
behind their backs, while they were fastened to the
posts by ropes passed roundtheir necks. They stood
in the following order :-1, Petkowitsch ; 2, Vilo-

faces to the west. Four gendarmes then
advanced with breech-loaders to within six
paces of the posts and fired upon the first
prisoner in the row, Petkowitsch, who died
instantaneously. The body was then detached
from the post and laid in the trench, and the same
course of procedure was pursued towards all the
rest, who were each shot separately. At the exe-
cution of Nenadowitsch a sad catastrophe hap-
pened. One of the bullets aimed at the condemned
struck the post to which he was fastened, and glan-
cing off entered the eye of an officer, Lieutenant
Basil Miatowitsch, who was commanding a com-
pany of soldiers on the ground, killing him in-
stantly.

The St, Petersburg Gazette says that there is now
in the Russian capital the richest Chinese library in
the world. It consists of 11,607 volumes, 1,168
wood-engravings, and 276 manuscripts. The books
are on all sorts of subjects, and among them are
several rare works, one or two of which are unique,
there being no copies of them in even the largest
libraries of China. The library was collected by
M. Skatchoff, now Consul-General in Pekin, during
a residence of fifteen years in the Chinese Empire.
Recently M. Skatchoff offered to sell it for 9,000
roubles (£1,400) to the Imperiaf Library at St.
Petersburg and the Russian Academy of Sciences,
but both institutions were compelled to decline the
offer for want of funds.

At Alton, in Staffordshire, the overseers have put
the names of the female ratepayers as claimants of
votes on the church door.

The extraordinary calmness with which the con-
demned men met their !fate has been a matter of
general remark. Sima Nenadowitsch continued
smoking even after his neighbour was dead. With-
in a quarter of an hour the tragedy was over, and
the bodies laid in the trench, which was at once
filled up and levelled with the earth.

" of the sciences that precisely interpret the phe-
nomena of nature." Of course in many cases the
physician cannot always wait to establish conclu-
sions according to the rules of science, but may
act in emergencies on his own judgment. True and
false medicine, like the tares and the wheat, now
stand together, said Dr. ACLAND, and of course the
task is to separate them one from the other so far
as possible. There is a good deal of truth in one re-
mark here met with, namely, that people nowadays
are apt to disregard and to treat with contempt
the experiences of the past. This is a mistake in

The statue of Leopold I. which. has just been
" inaugurated" at Antwerp is in b:onz,-... The King
is represcntcl on horseback, with head uncovered
and hat in hand as if saluting the people. The
following inscription in French and Ylemish appears
on two sides of the pedestal :—' 'The Commerce
and People of Antwerp to Leopold, First King of
Independent Belgium ; voted 1856 ; erected 1868."
The other two sides bear the words ; spoken by the
King in 1856 when on a visit to A.ntwerp, and his
reply in 1831 to the delegates of the National Con.
gress :—"Human destinies offer to task more noble
and useful than that of being called to maintain
the independence of a nation %pd to consolidate its
liberties."
