IMPREGNABLE SAFES AND LOCKS.
Messrs. HOBBS, HART, and CO. call the special atten-
tion of BANKERS, GOLDSMITHS, JEWELLERS, and
others in possession of valuable property, to their NEWLY-
PATENTED SAFE, which is so constructed as to be im-
pregnable against all the artifices of the BURGLAR in the
use of the drill, the wedge, tho screw, or the crowbar, by
having its sides and angles held together by a system of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being filled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented
Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class
of burglars as well as the most scientific mechanicians.

THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY.—Last even-
ing the members of this excellent society assembled
at the George Hotel, Aldermanbury, in considerable force,
the occasion being a " programme night." The selection,
generally speaking, was good, but the executive must be
very careful they do not retard their progress, and this
they are very likely to do if they sanction the repetition of
such silly and pointless productions as the burlesque of
" Galatea." Such things are altogether foreign to the ob-
jects of the society, and calculated to injure the prosperity
to which it has attained. The "burlesque" had
literally nothing to recommend it, and it only occu-
pied the time that might have been devoted
to really good music. It is particularly gratifying
to find that the melancholy and vulgar comicalities of the
"great" music hall comic singers falls particularly flat at
the Excelsior Society; it shows that if the selections of
some of its members cannot be controlled, at least the
audience do not approve the judgment of the parties who
so off end against good taste. We have to compliment Mr.
Johnson for his excellent rendering of Schubert's "Wan-
derer ;" Mr. Gillard sang Richardt's ballad "Love's Re-
quest with much taste and sweetness, and we should have
been glad o say as much for Mr. S taker, but he took upon
himself the task of improving Sir Henry Bis hop's "Pil-
grim of Love," a work he must pardon us for saying he is
not quite equal to. Mr. Manley sang -Wallace's "Home
of My Heart" very nicely, and Mr. Vigay gave a
very effective rendering of " Oh rudier than the Cherry."
A little mote taste and little less effort will greatly im-
prove this gentleman's s iuging. There were a variety of
part songs snug during the evening, but they had not
been practised sufficiently. If we cannot compliment
everything done last evening it arises simply from a wish
to see the Excelsior take its proper place amongst the good
musical societies of the metropolis, and certainly not from
a desire to depreciate the abilities of any of the vocalists.

DEAN STANLEY.

The Dean of Westminster is determined that it
shall not be said he ruled his political conduct in
view of the ecclesiastical changes which it is in the
Premier's power to effect. Having signified his
intention of voting for Grosvenor and Mill at the
Westminster election, he has addressed a letter to the
Central Committee, giving his reasons. He
thinks that legislation can ill afford to lose
the advantage of the presence of such men
as Mr. Mill. The question of the Irish
Church is of an unusually complicated character,
and the essence and the value of any measures which
may be proposed in connection with it depend on a
variety of details, the consideration of which will
require all the calmness, intelligence, and knowledge
that can be brought to bear upon them, with a steady
regard to the permanent welfare of the whole com-
munity, irrespectively of mere passing watchwords or
temporary exigencies. Mr. Mill, Dean Stanley holds,
possesses the necessary qualifications for their dis-
cussion.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Before Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Byles,
Keating, and Brett.)
EDMUNDS V. GREENWOOD.

Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., said this action was
now entered for trial at the sitting at Middlesex
after next term. On the present occasion he
had to move for a rule calling upon the
defendant to show cause why certain interro-
gatories should not be put to him. The plaintiff
was M'Leonard Edmunds, and late a clerk in the
Patent-office, and reading clerk in the House of
Lords, and the defendant was Mr. Greenwood,
solicitor to the Treasury. The case was one for
libel, and application had been made to Mr. Baron
Martin to order the interrogatories to be answered,
but his lordship had refused to make the order.
The Chief Justice—Then the present is an ap-
peal from the decision of Mr. Baron Martin.
Mr. Seymour said that was so. The declaration
set out that the libel was contained in three re-
ports made by the defendant, and also a letter
which Mr. Greenwood had written. Certain charges
were made against the plaintiff, and an inquiry
was directed by the Government to be made
as to the mode business was conducted in the office.
The complaint of the plaintiff was that Mr. Green-
wood had made comments on matters foreign to
the inquiry he was directed to make, and that these
reports, by their publication in the newspapers, had
been highly injurious to the plaintiff.
The Lord Chief Justice said it did not appear
that the defendant had directed the publication,
and it was not so stated or itnplied in the affidavit
a
of the plaintiff.
Mr. Seymour said that the principal parts upon
which h e
theaskedlitfhoorgiruafpohrnicriti of the theunents
on
copies was for what pur-
ps were
sent to Mr. Woodruff at the Patent-office.

The case is proceeding, and will occupy some
time.

DEAN ALFORD.

In a sermon preached in Canterbury Cathedral
upon the occasion of the death of the Archbishop,
the Dean was reported to have commended the late
Primate in that he broke through the fetters of
conventional precedent, and did that which was not
expected of an archbishop in fashionable society
when he came into familiar contact with the working
classes. This was a fine subject for a leader, and the
Star accordingly told those who wondered why
working-men felt a contempt for the Church that
this spirit was the cause of it. Our contemporary
remarked that " the height of spiritual pride which
a man must have attained before he can talk in this
way, the gulf between him and the classes he talks
about is something terrible to think of on the one
hand, and, on the other, is a subject for both curious
and profitable speculation. There cannot be the
shadow of a doubt that the Dean thought hewas doing
a handsome thing by the workmen in reminding
them of that amiable discourse in Northgate."
Alas ! that the Dean should never have uttered the
sentiments attributed to him. He now writes to say
that the writer of the article has entirely mistaken
the spirit and drift of his remarks, such sentiments
being abhorrent to every feeling of his mind. The
Dean refers to the Kentish, Gazette for a correct
report. It is pleasant to catch a dean tripping, .and,

THAMES.

Robert Burns, beer-seller, -of 2, Gloaier-lane,
West Smithfield, and Edward .Owen, of 121, High-
street, Shadwoll, brass manufacturer, were brought
before Mr. Benson, charged with being drunk and
incapable of taking care of themselves, and with
furious driving.
Mr. Benson said the prisoner's conduct was very
disgraceful, and fined him Bs.
SUCKING THE MONKEY.—Bartholomew Grace, a
cooper, aged 26, was brought before Mr. Benson
charged with unlawfully drinking wine in the Lon-
don Dock. The prisoner was caught in the act of
sucking wine out of a cask of sherry in the London
Dock. Palmer, a dock watchman, pounced upon
him with a tube in his mouth and the other end of
it in the cask. The prisoner took a hearty draught.
The prisoner owned having sucked the monkey.
The prisoner was sentenced to one month's im-
prisonment.
London, England, 1868-11-07

THE HUSH =lnca.

Professor Montague Burrows writes a letter to the
Standard upon the " Question at Issue." He thinks
that we must accept the past with regard to Ireland
as an accomplished fact, and that to change the con-
dition of things now would simply be revolution.
The Church and the land stand or fall together.
" Everyone now knows that, except the
very small proportion which belonged to the
pre-Reformation Church of Ireland, Church pro-
perty has been granted by the Crown (not by the
State) out of lands confiscated for rebellion, or given
by private benefac cors within the last century or
two. It was granted by the Crown to encourage
Er gli hmen to settle; it was given by private men
for the benefit of their tenants and successors."
The Professor considers that "principle " should be
of universal application. He says : " I have
rather wished to speak of what lies at the
root of all English politics, the principle
of accepting past history as a governing
fact for the present, the principle of giving no just
grounds, by a great breach of faith, for a repeal of
the Union, and the principle that every assault upon
the fundamental bases of society in one part of the
empire will bring ruin upon every portion of every
other part. If there is any truth in these proposi-
tions, it is high time that every voter at the ensuing:,
election made up his mind to give effect to them. It,
is not a struggle for a trifle, but for everything whicV-
Englishmen hold dear."

THE POLICE OF LONDON.

The statements of our London correspondent as to
Sir Richard Mayne and the Metropolitan police are
fully borne out by a meeting of the Marylebone
vestry. Sir Richard has become unbearable) and the
Marylebone vestry has only declared publicly what
has too long been uttered in private by all. On the
motion of Professor Marks it has passed a series of
resolutions calling attention to the street robberies
with violence which are so common in the streets of
the metropolis, declaring that London has not the
protection for life and property within its limits
which it ought to have, and calling upon other
vestries to unite in a deputation to the Home
Secretary, to the end that some beneficial changes
may be made in the organisation of the police
force.

PUTTING A STOP TO IT.

"A Chairman of Quarter Sessions" writes to the
Times calling attention to the conduct of a police--
magistrate in dealing with a case of violent assault,
and with good reason. Henry Stead was brought up
before Mr. Newton, at Worship-street, for being
concerned with others in attacking two persons with
a view, it is supposed, to robbery. The prosecutors
came into court exhibiting marks of violence upon
the head. They had been attacked by twelve or
thirteen young men, who came at theprisoner's whistle,
and knocked them about. Mr. Newton said that
these concerted attacks by gangs of young roughs in
deserted thoroughfares at night were getting so
common that it was necessary to put a stop to them,
and then this terribly severe magistrate inflicted a
fine of 405., which was immediately paid. Of course
it was. The prisoner would levy a tax upon his
" pals," and the next watch they manipulated would
recoup them. They do not so deal with violence at
quarter sessions, and thus is assured in some degree
the comparative security of life and limb in the
country districts, while it encourages and emboldens
the rural policeman in his often solitary night
patrol.

BISHOPS' INCOMES.

The Rev. Francis Forbes writes to a contemporary
to say that his father was secretary to Bishop Van
Mildert, the last count palatine of Durham, and
from this source he obtained some information as to
th

.e disposal of the income of the see, which was at
__At time as much as £19,060, the net value. The
bishop usually devoted one-third of this to charity,
and in one year as much as £lO,OOO went in this
direction. In those days great state was kept at
Durham, and the expenses were very heavy. The
popular opinion seems to be that bishops are enor-
mously rich. The fact is, that if they get rich off
their incomes, it must be at the expense of a wide
reputation for meanness.
London, England, 1868-11-07

SPAIN.

The statement that Don Ferdinand, of Portugal, had
refused to become a candidate for the throne of Spain is
strengthened by the Memorial Diplomatique. This journal
announces that the decision of the ex-King is irrevocable.
When the question was proposed to him he is said to have
made use of expressions similar to the following :—" I ac-
cepted from duty and paternal love the post of Regent to
this kingdom (Portugal) which I have conscientiously
filled ; but I was too sensible of the burden of power to
charge myself with it again on a larger and more stormy
theatre. I am anxious to pass the few years which God
reserves for me in a calm and peaceable retirement, in
conformity with my tastes, to which ambition is a
stranger." Don Ferdinand is wiser than most of his
generation ; but his decision will beyond doubt greatly
complicate the difficulties of the Spanish Monarchists.
There was something after all in the Liberta's curious
announcement that a deputation of four had waited upon
General Cabrera, in London, and had induced him to head
a Carlist movement. At least the Presse says that a
meeting of the principal partisans of Don Carlos was
recently held at the residence of that prince. Cabrera,
Gomez, and others were present. "Important resolutions
were adopted, and the statement is that the first-named
General has left for Madrid, commissioned to confer with
the triumvirate at present in power."
Turkey has recognised the Provisional Government.
Several correspondents say that the candidature of the
Duke of Montpensier is supported by some members of
the Provisional Government, but that the people give it
no encouragement. Dulce, Serrano, and Topete are said
to be the leaders of this movement.
RUSSIAN RED TAPE.

Red tape in Russia differs materially from the same
article in England. Our officials are traditionally famous
for the principle " How not to do it ;" in Russia the efforts
of subordinates are concentrated chiefly upon " doing "
the Government. Russian diplomacy is second to none in
the world ; but the swindling, corruption, and trickery in
the various departments is almost beyond belief. A curious
incident has just transpired. The Emperor, who expected
that his troops were being rapidly armed with breech-
loaders, has found out that only a few thousands have
been supplied to the army. Wherever the mighty sove-
reign went he found that the soldiers bad the new
weapon, but displayed a suspicious incompetency in
handling it. The truth comes out at last, even from a
Russian official. One set of breechloaders had done duty
before the Emperor in all parts of the country. They
were used at a review at St. Petersburg, and then sent off
to Warsaw, where their travels have been stopped by the
discovery.

The Poles, says the North-Eastern Correspondence, are
abandoning the country en masse. The flower of the
youthful population are flying in all directions to the
German ports, hoping to find freedom, if not subsistence,
in the west. Of a levy of 20,000 Polish youths it was
found that one half had emigrated. The Russian
authorities are taking married men in place of the
defaulters.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Professor Montague Burrows writes a letter to the.
Standard upon the " Question at Issue." He thinls
that we must accept the past with regard to Ireland
as an accomplished fact, and that to change the con-
dition of things now would simply be revolution.
The Church and the land stand or fall together.
" Everyone now knows that, except° the
very small propertion which belonged to the
pre-Reformation Church of Ireland, Church pro-
perty has been granted by the Crown (not by the
State) out of lands confiscated for rebellion, or given
by pri.ate benefactors within the last century or
tw.'. It was g mnted by the Crown to encourage
En gli hm2n to settle; it•was given by private men
fcr the benefit of their tenants and successors."
The Professor considers that " principle " should be
of universal application. He says : "I have
rather wished to speak of what lies at the
root of all English politics, the principle
of accepting past history as a governing
fact for the present, the principle of giving no just
grounds, by a great breach of faith, for a repeal of
the Union, and the principle that every assault upon
the fundamental bases of society in one part of the
empire will bring ruin upon every portion of every
other part. If there is any truth in these proposi-
tions, it is high time that every voter at the ensuing
election made up his mind to give effect to them. It
is not a struggle for a trifle, but for everything whick
Englishmen hold dear."

THE ALLEGED INTIMIDATION AT BLACKBURN.

Blackburn must be a nice place to live in during
an election. The inhabitants would be hardly likely
to petition for annual Parliaments. Life-preservers
for the higher, brickbats, stones, pieces of iron,
and clubs for the lower orders, rule the day.
The excitement runs so high that the Tories
will not work with the " rascally Radicals," and
they eject them forcibly from the manufactories.
They argue with one another in " the good old style,"
and adopt the " simple plan " of hooting, yelling, and
assaulting. It was stated that the overlookers were
cognisant of what was going on, and that, without
aiding or abetting, they at least allowed the outrages.
The masters, too, were very severely censured for
refusing to interfere. But the Tory Manchester Courier
denies that either the overlookers allowed or the
masters did not act properly with regard to the
affair. Our contemporary having caused inquiries
at every mill finds that the statements in the Liberal
papers were monstrous exaggerations. The masters
have everywhere condemned and done what they
could to prevent these proceedings. At Messrs.
Hornby and Sons no persons whatever were turned
out
" ALL IS LOST NOW."

The notorious Broadhead has been making a long
speech to the Sheffield trades unionists. A spirit of
gentleness and forgiveness pervaded the utterances
of this excellent man. The lion roars "an 'twere a
sucking dove," and Broadhead testifies to the virtues
of Price and Roebuck, for whom he is going to vote.
Mr. Roebuck has been fortunate enough to obtain
Broadhead's approbation, who says : " I honour
him for having performed his duty according to
the request made by all parties, and had I been in his
situation I should have done the same. To be first
drawn in to perform a difficult service that nobody
would undertake, and then to find the backs of those
turned upon him who are, both in honour and duty,
bound to support him, is no more than I myself have
learnt from sad experience." This is touching. Mr.
Roebuck will hardly bark any more. It is the la.e
straw that breaks the camel's back.
DEAN STANLEY.

The Dean of Westminster is determined that it
shall not be said he ruled his political conduct in
view of the ecclesiastical changes which it is in the
Premier's power to effect. Having signified his
intention of voting for Grosvenor and Mill at the
Westminster election, he has addressed a letter to the
Central Committee, giving his reasons. He
thinks that legislation can ill afford to lose
the advantage of the presence of such men
as Mr. Mill. The question of the Irish
Church is of an unusually complicated character,
and the essence and the value of any measures which
may be proposed in connection with it depend on a
variety of details, the consideration of which will
require all the calmness, intelligence, and knowledge
that can be brought to bear upon them, with a steady
regard to the permanent welfare of the whole com-
munity, irrespectively of mere passing watchwords or
temporary exigencies. Mr. Mill, Dean 5h...1057 hods,
possesses the necessary onalißaions for their dis-
cussion.

GERMANY.

The liberty of the press is not precisely a Prussian insti-
tution. The Democratic Society of Frankfort was in the
habit of taking twenty-five copies of one of the
papers—not specially devoted to Prussian rule—estsr
blished in the old free town. These copies were dis-
tributed. A poor woman who carried them to their
destination has been arrested, and condemned to six
weeks' imprisonment and a fine of £7 108. No appeal has
been allowed. Professor Ewald, one of the most learned
men in the country, has had his pension withdrawn for
a publishing a pamphlet condemning Prussian annexation
from moral
point of view.
