THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND

EDUCATION.

The foundation-stone of St. Chad's College, Denstone,
Worth Staffordshire, was laid on Thursday by the Rev.
Canon Lonsdale, in the unavoidable absence, through
Illness, of the Marquis of Salisbury. This is to be one of
those great middle-class schools of which several have
already been founded in Sussex. The ceremony, which
was of a simple character, was attended by a large number
of the clergy and leading families of the district, and subse-
quently about 500 ladies and gentlemen sat down to lun-
cheon in a marquee erected on the site, under the presi-
dency of Mr. Woodard. Amongst the toasts drunk was
that of " The Trustees," to which Mr. If übhard, M.P.,
responded. The hon. gentleman took occasion to
remark that it was a delusion to suppose that a reli-
gious education could be given apart from denomina-
tionalism. Education, to be effective must be conducted
by sincere and earnest men, and he had the fullest confi-
dence that the schools founded by Mr. Woodard would be
conducted honestly and fearlessly in accordance with the
doctrines, the formularies, and the articles of the Church
of England. "The health of Mr. Woodard" was pro-
posed by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, who said
that since he had ceased to be amenable to a constituency
he had felt a singular sense of freedom, and he begged to
assure all present that he had the fullest confidence in the
sound churchmanship of the promoters of these great
schools. Mr. Beresford Hope, M.l'., gave " The Local
Committee " in a characteristic speech, in the course of
which he said these schools were the best-abused institu-
tions in England, and if they were not already a power
in the land—if Mr. Woodard was not doing a good
work by means of them—people would not be so ready
to abuse them, and tell all sorts of lies respecting them ;
just the kind of lies which are only to be met with in
strictly religious periodicals. He would venture to say
that the Church had not yet put forth all her strength
and power, and that, great as she was, and great as her
works had been, she was only beginning her glorious
history, for her mission was to teach the world the spirit
and the practice of primitive Christianity. She had a
great future before her. But because she was great and
good was no reason why she should he despoiled. It seemed
to him that of all extraordinary perversions of logic
which man's intellect had ever played, there was none
so extraordinary and wonderful as for men of piety and
religion to get up and say that such and such an institu-
tion did a good work, that such and such an institution
fulfilled all its obligations to heaven and earth,' and there-
fore that in the name of heaven and earth it ought to be
stripped of all it had that its virtues might be more appa-
rent. That seemed to him to be very bad logic, but very
good brigandage. If ever the Church of England were
disestablished and disendowed, he had the firm conviction
that Mr. Woodard's schools would be one of her strongest
supports.

TRADES UNIONS.

The trades unions' delegates have in two meetings
been discussing the bill brought forward by Sir Powell
Buxton on trades societies. At the last meeting an
attempt was made to shelve the question, and the following
resolution was proposed :--" That the power assumed byVice-
Chancellor Malins, in his decision 'ln re Springhead Spin-
ning Company v. Riley, Butterworth, and Carrodus,' to con -
trol and destroy the combination laws, namely, 6 George IV.
and 22 Viet., c. 34, is, in the opinion of the meeting,
unconstitutional, and his decision leading thereto one-
sided, arbitrary, and unjust ; and that this meeting
pledges itself to use every legal means to set aside
a decision abhorrent for. its injustice and its tyranny."
TInA motion, however, was negatived, and the following
was brought forward :—" That this meeting, composed of
representatives of the various trade societies in the metro-
polis, having fully considered the bill which has been pre-
pared for the purpose of obtaining legal protection for the
funds of trade societies, and which was brought before
Parliament during the last session by Sir Powell Buxton,
is of opinion that it is sufficient for every legitimate
purpose, and that it should receive the support of
every well-meaning member of the House of Commons."
Mr. Nesbitt proposed an amendment in favour of the
omission of the third clause, which deals with the punish-
ment of unionists for violence. He said that under the
clause as it stood, a wink or a shake of the fist might be con-
strued into a threat of violence, and asked, if an ordinary
man were only bound over to keep the peace for threaten-
ing violence, why should a member of a trade society be
punished by three months' imprisonment for a similar
offence ? Mr. Crampton stated that the adoption of
the amendment would entirely negative the third
clause of the proposed bill. An ordinary person who
committed an assault might be sentenced to twelve months'
imprisonment ; but the punishment for the same offence
by a trades unionist was limited to three months' impri-
sonment. 'What most affected trades unionists was the
law of conspiracy. Mr. Lloyd Jones supported the dame
in question. Mr. George Potter moved the appointment
of a committee of six, with the view of reconstructing the
third clause, and after some discussion the proposition was
agreed to.

TIIE ACCLLNIATISATION SOCIETY.

Though the Acclimatisation Society has not reach-d
the point predicted by Punch—though as yet there is
no need for notices to be put up in the parks, " No
lions admitted unless led by a string, "—yet it has
been doing a great deal of work quietly. The
secretary writes to the Daily News, and notes h..t
where locusts, &c., have been destroying the cm :T.—
for example, in the territory of the Hudson'sißay
Company—starlings, sparrows, &c., have been sent
out to dispose of the insects • swans, pea-fowl, and
pigeons have been sent to Lahore ; English fish are
about to be sent to Portugal ; and a new game had
has been introduced into England. The tin: m u
bears cold so well that there is every hope that ere
long it will take rank with the pheasant in this
country. The society, however, camiat do all these
things without money, and it appeals to the public
sor funds. -

AN OPEN VERDICT.

"Found drowned" is not a very satisfactory con=
elusion to a coroner's inquest. This is the verdict in
a recent case heard before Mr. Payne. There are
some special features in the matter which ought not
to be passed over without. notice. A young woman,
having the appearance of a lady, was seen -to walk
down the steps near London Bridge, and a policeman
followed her. The midnight darkness soon hid her
from him, and he immediately heard a splash in the
water, and a voice crying out " 0 Lord, Lord,
save me !" Her dead body wos recovered, the
City detective failed to diszover who she was,
and the jury were at a loss to say whether death was
the result of accident or intention. The cry for help
does not at all preclude the idea of suicide. The
remarkable part of the business is, that a gentleman
came forward at first and identified the body t-.s that
of his sister-in-law, and afterwards retracted his
statement. Where, then, is this gentleman's sister-
in-law—and who are the girl's friends ? The Coroner
was evidently dissatisfied with this part of the affair.
The news of a woman's suicide produces hardly a
more lasting ripple on the surface of society than the
plunge she makes produces on the bosom of the
Thames, when that incurable disease, the sickness of
despair, becomes so strong that it kills the fear of
death.

THE PURCHASE OF RAILWAYS BY THE STATE.

Mr. Arthur John Williams, in continuation of his
contributions on the purchase of railways by the
State, now presents his plan for the carriage of goods.
Again he proposes a uniform single fare. He divides
goods into three classes. First, undamageable com-
modities, such as minerals and unworked metals,
which might be carried any distance for Is. Bd. per
ton ; commodities not readily damaged, such as
heavy machinery and furniture goods, might be
carried for 15s. per ton ; and perishable and easily-
damaged articles might be carried for 12s. Od.
per ton. If this system had been carried
out in 1866, the same gross revenue would have been
received by the railway company as was really the
case. This calculation is made on the basis of the
present management. With a central management
a great saving might be effected, and the
rates be much lower. There is, of course,
an obvious objection to any system of
either uniform or single fares and rates, that
the short journey pays for the long one. But
the obje,cticn, Mr. Williams argues, is more apparent;
than real. The passenger who makes a short journ:l
one day makes a long journey the next, and amongst
the middle-class the proportion of long to short
journeys would pretty nearly make up the avera; e.
With the poor this would not be the c. s The
fact that, as a rule, they can make only short
journeys is a strong argument in favour of fixing
the lower scale of fares much lower than the higher.
Then, again, the freighter who sends goods ten miles
one day would send other goods 300 miles the next,
and the consumer who has been charged 6d. a ton
for materials brought a few miles has it returned to
him over and over again in the cheaper carriage of
all the commodities which come from a distance.
And the great national benefit which would follow
would be incalculable, for the labourer would be
placed within a few miles of other fields of labour,
and the natural advantage of every district might be
easily developed.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 220. per 41 sterling
On oJniparing these rates with the English Mint price 01
100. per ounce for standard, gold, it appedirs that
gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' tight was On the last date about 1' 91 per cent
At this rate there is no profit, on the importation of gol
from the United States.

THE Loss OF THE FLORENCE STEAMER. —The in-
quiry into the loss of the steamer Florence, near the Nab
Light, was closed yesterday at the Greenwich police-court
before Mr. Patteson, the magistrate, and Captains Baker
and flight, nautical assessors. The Court found that
there was an omission in not having the vessel fitted with
board ng to prevent her cargo shifting, which mainly
caused the loss of the vessel ; that the ship was properly
stowed and not too deeply laden; and, further, that the
captain was not in a state of drunkenness on the night of
the disaster.

without the delay and difficulty of Govvrnors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributior.s

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the

SHARE LIST.

TOPICS OP THE DAY.

TTIE NEW MINISTERS.

At last Mr. Disraeli has filled up the Duchy or
Lancaster, which has been vacant ever since Colonel
Wilson Patten succeeded Lord Mayo as Chief-Secre-
tary for Ireland. Colonel Taylor, who has lately
suffered severely in health by reason of his arduous
labours as whipper-in, is to be the new Chancellor.
The Hon. Gerard Noel, M.P. for Rutlandshire, will be
the Secretary to the Treasury in Colonel Taylor's
place. There is thus vacated the English lordship of
the Treasury. Colonel Taylor has represented Dublin
County since 1841, and in that year and in 1852 and
1857 had to stand a contested election, being on each
occasion second on the poll. The. Noels have repre-
sented Rutlandshire ever since the first Reform Bill.
The present representative was first elected in 1847.
It is not stated if Colonel Taylor will have a seat in
the Cabinet, but :.s that select baly is at prezent
short of its usual number, we prasume that he will.
Certainly no one corld give Ministers bett3r informa-
tion about the state of political feeling in the country
than the new Chancellor of the Duchy.

"'THE TALKING OF THE TONCUE!

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone does not hold
King Solomon's opinion as to the value of words, and
when Lord Stanley at the Liverpool banquet bluntly
said that the country had had more than enough of
them, Mr. Gladstone immediately put the cap on his
own head, and though. Lord Stanky protested that
he had not meant it for the Liberal orator, the other
did not spare the member for Lynn, but retorted
that no such fault could be found with
the noble lord's address to his constituents.
The laugh was then against Lord Stanley.
He is a man of few words, probably believing that the
least said is the soonest mended; It is a curious trait
of the noble lord's leader, that he takes great pains en
occasions to contrast his conduct with Mr. Glad-
stone's. The latter makes tremendous budget
orations-; the Premier, when Chancellor of the
Exchequer, delivered his speech with the utmost
brevity. Mr. Gladstone proclaims on the housetops
his convictions upon every possible subject ; Mr.
Disraeli closes his lips, and no doubt, like the Welsh-
man's o*l, " though he does not say much, he is a
beggar to think."

KITCUEN BOILERS.

Mr. Henry Hiller, the chief engineer of the
National Boiler Insurance Company, writes to the
Times upon the subject of kitchen boilers. " They
are generally made and set up by men who know
nothing of steam pressure and are unable to calcu-
late the strength of such vessels. The feed is gene-
rally by a column of water from a cistern placed in
a convenient position at or near the upper art of
the building. Where the top of this inlet pipe
is at a high level above the boiler the pressure will be
proportionately great, and in many cases reaches
from 161 b. to 201 b. per square inch in boilers not
suitable for half th t pressure. The open escape-
pipe is supposed to be an outlet for any steam pres-
sure which may b 3 generated, and thus a safety-
valve is believed—erroneously—to be unnecessary."
He says that such boilers should 1 e made very strong,
and have safety-valves and test-taps, while their
construction should be entrusted only to the initiated.
The whole apparatus should be regularly tested by a
competent person.
