FREE GRACE PROTESTANT UNION.

The Rev. Thomas Husband Gregg, M.A., of
Trinity College, Dublin, curate of Craclley, near
Birmingham, has started a society called the " Free
Urace Protestant Union." Ills object is to stir up
and keep alive the Protestant feeling in the country,
and the means used are lectures illustrated by a first-
rate magic lantern, with dissolving views, sheaving the
most shocking massacres recorded in Foxe's Book of
Martyrs, in order that people may judge
of the actions of Rome, what she has
done, end what she will do again when
she has the power. An appeal for funds is made to
all true Protestants. We would make a suggestion
to the Rev. Thomas Gregg. Let him revive the
ancient "mystery." Subject: Balaam going to the
King of Moab, desirous to curse Israel. Mr. Glad-
stone or his representative will do for the treacherous
prophet; the Irish Church is, of course, Israel ; and
the rev. gentleman cannot do better than take the
part of the animal Balaam bestrode.

POLICE „INTELLIGENCE-- This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-S MEET.

CHARGE OF STEALING A HORSE AND CAB.--
James Sanson, a cab driver, badge 6,251, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a horse and
cab, the property of Mr. Henry Hill, a cab fro-
prietor.

The driver of the cab, George Turner, badge
1(i,193, having first been charged with being drunk,
and fined 10s. or seven days,
James Newby, IGO C, s tid that about 2 o'clock
this morning he was taking Turner, who was
drunk, to the station, when the prisoner jumped on
to Turner's cab and drove off with it, at the rate of
about 14 miles an hour. Ile left Turner in charge
of another constable and went after the prisoner,
who, observing him coining, jumped off the cab and
ran away, but he (the otii:,er) pursued bin and
caught him, when he said he was driving the cab
to King's-cross, as he thought ho might there dad
the owner. Turner denied ail knowledge of the
prisoner.

Turner said that he knew nothing whatever of
the prisoner.
Ihe prisoner said that a man asked him to drive
the cab home, and he did so to save the driver of it
from getting into trouble.

Mr. Knox said he was aware there were frequent
similar robberies, and he should remand the prisoner
for the purpose of having proper inquiries made
into his character.

Subsequently a person came forward and said he
had known
.the prisoner for a length of time, and
that he was a respectable man, and that he believed
his reason for driving off with the cab was to save
the driver from getting into a scrape by having it
taken to the greenyard.
Mr. Knox said that the prisoner would be re-
manded, but he would take a £lO bail.

LAW AND POLICE.

BREACII or PROMISE.—An extraordinary case has just
been concluded in the Court of Common Pleas. The
plaintiff was a widow something under 40, with two chil-
dren. The defendant, who was much older, had been
paralysed for thirty years, had to be dressed and un-
dressed, his meat cut for him, and be carried up and down
stairs. The promise was not denied, and the widow
obtained £3OO damages.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.— A curious case is ROW before
the Court of Queen's Bench. It is an action by a curate
to recover damages for false imprisonment in a lunatic
asylum. The defendant is also a clergyman, and plaintiff,
who became his curate, was very eccentric in his conduct.
The incumbent, the Rev. George Cotham, seems to have
taken violent and unusual measures to secure his curate,
and this was fullowed by the present action.
LIBEL.—The Court of Queen's Bench has heard an
action to recover damages for an alleged libel published
in the TVest London Adrertiar. The plaintiff was superin-
tendent of the London Gas Company, and he had
also filled some of the parochial ()likes. What was
complained of was a letter r, ferrin,g to parish matters,
and it was said to be the last of a series, the whole of which
the plaintiff thought likely to bring him into disrespect.
Mr. Justice Smith said that his experience was that
editors were themselves generally very careful. The libels
were usually found under the head of " Correspondence."
Mr. Serjeant T. Atkinson, fur the defendant, said that
his client was sorry that the plaintiff had suffered any
annoyance, and he would take care that there should be
no repetition of the offence. A verdict was then taken for
the plaintiff, by consent. Damages, 40s.

MunnEu.— Two men, named Fallon and Duxbury, have
been committed for trial on the charge of murdering
Thomas Whittaker, in Blackburn, during the election
riots.—At a coroner's inquest held at Aberystwith, a
verdict of wilful murder has been returned against William
Richards, who shot Butler, the gamekoceper, aa4 yvlio is
still at large,

THE COST OF ELECTION PETITIONS.

The judges' rules for trying election petitions
seem to have met with universal approval.
Throwing aside that love of mere formality
which has so long characterised nearly everything
done by the judicial bench, they have m this case
gone straight at the matter, and framed rules
founded on common sense. For the nonce they have
avoided unworkable precedent, and the result is that

the Act will be carried out in the spirit with which
it was passed. In nothing is this plainer than in the
matter of " costs." Hitherto the amount of money
expended in retaining or assailing a seat has been
enormous. To have had to pay the costs of
many days in the old committee-rooms would
soon have ruined a millionaire. In one case

t was stated that over a thousand a day
vas spent. But this done under the idea that

the other side would have to pay. The judges, how-
ever, will change all that. The following is
one of their rules :—" Regard being had to
the disallowance of any coats, charges, and
expenses v li:ch may, in the opinion of the
court or judge, have been caused by vexatious conduct,
unfounded allegations, or unfounded objections, on
the part either of the retitioner or the respondent,
and regard being had to the discouragement of any
needless expense by throwing the burden of defray-
ing the same on the parties by whom it has been
caused, whether such parties are or are not on the
whole successful."

PRESERVED MEAT.

The great problem is yet unsolved. One of the desiderata
of the age is the invention of some process by which fresh
meat can be conveyed to Europe from a distance
of several thousand miles. Meat can now be trans-
ported a considerable distance, but only in a dried or
salted condition ; no means have yet been discovered of
keeping it in something like its original condition for any
length of time. By a recent decree the Government
of the Argentine Confederation offers a reward equivalent
to 40,000 f., or £1,600, to the inventor of any success-
ful process for conveying fresh meat to Europe.
The direct money recompense may do good in stimulating
attention to this important matter, though the individual
who makes the great discovery ought, and probably
would, reap a large fortune by trade. The question is one
of the highest moment. Whilst the poor in England are
starving, cattle in South America are actually regarded as
vermin ; they cannot be slaughtered in sufficient num-
bers.

[R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has 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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

DENIf ARK.

The Vienna correspondent of the Indc'pendance Beige
says the marriage of the Prince Royal of Denmark to the
Princess of Sweden will take place next July.
THE SITUATION "ON THE RIVER PLATE.

Mr. Gould, our Chargj d'Affaires at Paraguay, has left
the country and is returning to Europe. During h!--:
lengthened stay on the Paraguayan river, says the
Buenos Ayres Standard, he despatched several notes to
President Lopez, urging the liberation of all those British
subjects whose contracts with the Paraguayan Govern-
ment had expired, and who were anxious to return to their
native country; but, after repeated delays, he found it
impossible to get a straightforward or positive reply to any
of hi 3 notes, and, with the most praiseworthy discretion,
declined the invitation to visit the Paraguayan camp.
There is much reason to believe the more serious reports
of Mr. Washburn's misconduct are correct. Probably it
is this fact which prevented the Paraguayan Govern-
ment from giving Mr. Gould a definite reply to his
request.

The operations of the war still proceed very slowly.
The body of allied troops despatched to the rear
of the Paraguayan position was reported to be hard at
work cutting a way through the dense vegetation and
bridging the minor streams. The difficulty of dislodging
Lopez from Villeta would seem to prove that his cause
cannot be so immediately hopeless as the Brazilian journals
represent. The health of the allied army is bad.

ROBBERIES IN TIIE DOCK.—Alfred Simpson, aged
21 years, of No. 4, Lisbon-street, North-street,
Whitechapel, labourer, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with stealing 31 lbs. of raw coffee,
the property of the London and St. Katherine Dock
Company.
William Robinson, a Dock constable, said the
prisoner had been working in the E magazine of the
London Dock yesterday, and when he came to the
gate at 4 o'clock to pass out he appeared to look
lusty, and he searched him, and found in his pockets
3ilbs. of coffee.
The prisoner said all the constable said was true.
He was very sorry for what he had done.
Mr. Paget said he was determined as far as lay
in his power to stop the present robberies in the
docks, and to punish with severity all persons
filching tea, coffee, or sugar, wines, or any other
merchandise necessarily exposed on the quays. He
sentenced the
,prisoner to two months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
TUE LATE BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.
—Thomas Brown, aged 26 years, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget charged with being concerned with
others in feloniously breaking and entering the
dwelling house and shop of Mr. Lewis Lavinbury,
pawnbroker and jeweller, of No. 31, Broad-street,
Ratcliff, on Saturday night last, and stealing gold
rings, ear-drops, watches, and other jewellery to the
amount of £5OO.

The prisoner described himself as a seaman. He
was arrested this morning at three o'clock. He
was identified as one of the four men seen by Smith,
47 K, near the prosecutor's shop at an early hour
on Sunday morning. They separated on seeing
Smith, and one was afterwards captured with a por-
tion of the stolen property upon him. This per-
son was remanded until Monday next, and the pri-
soner was remanded until that day.

EDUCATION.

Education, though it has not yet become the ques-
tion of the day, is just now, for several reasons,
occupying a large share of public attention. Mr.
Lowe's pamphlet is a valuable addition to the
controversy. His contention is, that though for
the poor free trade in education is impossible, yet
endowed schools for the middle and upper classes
are necessary evils. Private schools, as a rule, beat
all others out of time. And this, too, when the others,
instead of starting fair, have all the advantages on
their side. He proposes to make the endowed acade-
mies more useful by "keeping a sharp eye on them," but
he differs very much from the commissioners in their
ideal of a grand endowed educational system, of which
the village schools are the basis and the universities
the apex. He thinks endowed schools to be signal
failures, and wishes private ones to take their place.
Another point which has been recently raised is the
position which the landowner holds. He has all the
land of the village under him, and yet the education
of the village depends in a great measure upon his
keeping on good terms with the parson. This, it is

educational rating.
WHOLESALE RUSTICATION.

A strange tale is told by an undergraduate of
New College, Oxford. The other night the windows
of an unpopular undergraduate were broken. The
authorities immediately summoned all the under-
graduates and demanded the names of the offenders.
This not being complied with, it was resolved that
all the undergraduates, except those necessarily kept
up for public examinations, should be rusticated for
the rest of the term ; that those who were compelled
to remain in college should be gated after five o'clock;
that the junior common-room should be closed for
the remainder of this term and the whole of the next;
that no strangers should be allowed in college after five
o'clock. These measures did not produce the culprit.
Then the authorities set about toprocure evidence, and
pitched upon three men presumably guilty. A ser-
vant was the informer, and the name of one of them
was taken off the books, though, according to the
undergraduate's statement, they were all innocent.
The real culprit is another, who was anxious to give
up his name, but was restrained by a large number
of his fellow-undergraduates, who objected to the
system of discovering individual offenders by punish-
ing and putting the pressure on a whole college.
This is the real highhanded schoolmaster style of
doing things. At a public school the offender would
have felt bound in honour to give himself up; but
perhaps Oxford men are justified in throwing off
these traditions of their schooldays. The dons are
evidently awkward amateurs as administrators of
justice.

PARIS, Dec. 4.
The 3/oniteur of this morning publishes the fol-

lowing :
" Celt tin rumours which for some time past
had been current gave support to the belief that a
repetition of the recent gatherings in the cemetery
of Mountmarire were planned for to-day. The
authorities have therefore considered it their duty
to take the necessary measures to maintain tran-
quillity and to prevent any hindrance of the public
traffic in the neighbourhood of the cemetery. A
rather large crowd appeared on the Boulevard
Clichy, and traffic was momentarily interrupted, but
rapidly restored. It was necessary to make several
arrests. Public order has been, however, invariably
maintained.

The Greck Government has acceded to the
Monetary Convention of 1865, which is to come
into force on the Ist of January next.

COMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS.

The faithful may find comfort in the columns of
the Church News. A correspondent of that tempe-
rate paper remarks that " the supposed tendencies of
individual priests or bishops have no effect upon
their ministrations as regards their efficiency to
others, while they perform what the Church requires
of them. This is clearly deduced from the following
consideration. Of the Twelve whom ourLordappointed
with equal powers, onewas Judas Iscariot,who He said
was a devil. The evil portion, then, was one-twelfth
part of the whole. Can anyone say that Judas was
not chosen, and that his acts and ministrations were
not so effectual as those of the other Apostles on
behalf of those to or for whom he ministered ?" This
has reference to the recent ecclesiastical appoint-
ments, which, though " many deem evil or
mischievous or inefficient, are no less under
the superintending permissive choice of our Lord
than that of Judas. They may be permitted
for the punishment of our sins, or the trial of
our faith, but they are no less under His apr.lnt-
ment who has all power, both in heaven and earth."
When Pr. Tait hands over the Lambeth grounds to
the public, under the name of the " Potter's Field,"
and then hangs himself through remorse, the com-
parison will be complete. Meanwhile we must pro-
nounce this the rankest and most indecent blasphemy
we have seen for some time.

ALL SAINTS, LAMBETH.
Dr. Lee and the Archdeacon of Surrey have had a
paper war. The Bishop of Winchester refuses to
license a curate for All Saint) Church, on the ground
of the Mariolatry taught there. Counsel's opinion
was taken on the matter, and from this it appeared
the doctor had rendered himself amenable to eccle-
siastical law. Dr. Lee wrote a recantation, expres-
sing his regret that he had ever used .a certain
hymn commencing " Hail, of light and joy the day 1 "
and expressed his willingness to submit to the Bishop
in all things lawful and canonical. He afterwards
took counsel's opinion upon the point, and according
to this he had done an illegal act in signing such a
document. When Dr. Lee first went to All Saints
he made certain promises, one of which was, that
incense should not be used. Ho assures the Bishop
it has never been used during divine service. The
Bishop and his commissary are amazed at the con-
trary reports they hear. The fact is, incense is only
carried in procession. Be it noted that incense was
burnt during the singing'of the objectionable hymn.
The whole correspondence is now published, and
exhibits a very unsatisfactory state of things.

DENMARK.

The Vienna correspondent of the Independance Beige
says the marriage of the Prince Royal of Denmark to the
Princess of Sweden will take place next July.
THE • SITUATION " ON THE RIVER PLATE.

Mr. Gould, our Charge d'Affaires at Paraguay, has left
the country and is returning to Europe. During
lengthened stay on the Paraguayan river, says the
Buenos Ayres Standard, he despatched several notes to
President Lopez, urging the liberation of all those British
subjects whose contracts with the Paraguayan Govern-
ment had expired, and who were anxious to return to their
native country; but, after repeated delays, he found it
impossible to get a straightforward or positive reply to any
of his notes, and, with the most praiseworthy discretion,
declined the invitation to visit the Paraguayan camp.
There is much reason to believe the more serious reports
of Mr. Washburn's misconduct are correct. Probably it
is this fact which prevented the Paraguayan Govern-
ment from giving Mr. Gould a definite reply to his
request.

The operations of the war still proceed very slowly.
The body of allied troops despatched to the rear
of the Paraguayan position was reported to be hard at
work cutting a way through the dense vegetation and
bridging the minor streams. The difficulty of dislodging
Lopez from Villeta would seem to prove that his cause
cannot be so immediately hopeless as the Brazilian journals
represent. The health of the allied army is bad.

PRESERVED MEAT.

The great problem is yet unsolved. One of the desiderata
of the age is the invention of some process by which fresh
meat can be conveyed to Europe from a distance
of several thousand miles. Meat can now be trans.
ported a considerable distance, but only in a dried or
salted condition ; no means have yet been discovered of
keeping it in something like its original condition for any
length of time. By a recent decree the Government
of the Argentine Confederation offers a reward equivalent
to 40,000 f., or £1,600, to the inventor of any success.
ful process for conveying fresh meat to Europe.
The direct money recompense may do good in stimulating
attention to this important matter, though the individual
who makes the great discovery ought, and probably
would, reap a large fortune by trade. The question is one
of the highest moment. Whilst the poor in England are
starving, cattle in South America are actually regarded as
vermin ; they cannot be slaughtered in sufficient num-
bers.
London, England, 1868-12-04

EDUCATION.

Education, though it has not yet become the ques-
tion of the day, is just now, for several reasons,
occupying a large share of public attention. Mr.
Lowe's pamphlet is a valuable addition to the
controversy. His contention is, that though for
the poor free trade in education is impossible, yet
endowed schools for the middle and upper classes
are necessary evils. Private schools, as a rule) beat
all others out of time. And this, too, when the others,
instead of starting fair, have all the advantages on
their side. He proposes to make the endowed acade-
mies more useful by " keeping a sharp eye on them,"but
he differs very much from the commissioners in their
ideal of a grand endowed educational system, of which
the village schools are the basis and the universities
the apex. He thinks endowed schools to be signal
failures, and wishes private ones to take their place.
Another point which has been recently raised is the
position which the landowner holds. He has all the
land of the village under him, and yet the education
of the village depends in a great measure upon his
keeping on good terms with the parson. This, it is
argued, should not be. Having his fortune in a
village, he should pay for the education of the
villagers. Which is begging the whole question of
educational rating.

GERMANY.

The two North Schleswig deputies have sent a letter to
the President of the Prussian Chamber, again refusing to
take the oath, and resigning their seats. The object of
this manoeuvre is evident. If the Prussian Government
allow the Danish district to remain unrepresented, it will
virtually be excluded from the Prussian kingdom ; but if
another election takes place, the inhabitants of North
Schleswig will again assert their rights by returning two
deputies favourable to annexation to Denmark.
