Earl Stanhope presented on Tuesday night in the
House of Lords the report of the Select Committee
appointed to consider the operation of the Eccle-
siastical Titles Act throughout Great Britain and
Ireland. In the opinion of the majority of the
committee by whom this report has been adopted
the Act of 1851 was just and necessary, as asserting
the supremacy of the Crown, " and it has had the
effect of preventing general and ostentatious as-
sumptions of such titles by the Roman Catholic
prelates." " Any advantage to be gained by the
modification of this enactment would," in the opi-
nion of the committee, "be more than counter-
balanced by the evil of reopening, without sufficient
cause, the discussion of a question always calculated
to cause much irritation." The Lord Chancellor
had a bill on the subject prepared, but, finding the
majority of the committee opposed to any legisla-
tion, he withdrew it. The committee further re-
port that the Ecclesiastical Titles Act may be re-
garded merely in the light of an affirmation of vari-
ous earlier Acts of the Legislature in the nature of
premanire. The Lord Chief Baron will, as vacation
Judge at Chambers, have the nomination of the
additional revising barristers contemplated by the
new registration measure. Although the bill has
not yet become law, there are some 230 applicants
in the field.

THE BELL THAT WILL BE ANSWERED.—When
night sets in upon the Paris Groat Hotel, a general air of
desertion prevails; the "service," which is found in a cor-
ner, disappears, and shuts its doors, and the traveller has
been known to go wandering round and round these blank
circles, looking for the "service," and for his key, meeting
no one, seemin zly destined to "circulate" for ever in those
awful halls. At last he hears a step, and falls in with a
belated traveller, who tells him he must try the " son-
nette," and shows him a little electrical " button" in
the wall, a touch on which sets free a whirring
al irm, and soon brings a bey-waiter in his shirt-sleeves
from one of the doors. The boy-waiter has a precocious
French gruffness added to the gruffness consequent on
being roused from his sleep. The number is not in his
beat, the traveller must go round quite to the other side
of the house, and then he disappears " grommelant."
There " the button" is again found and rouses another
sleepy waiter, who is equally dissatisfied, but knows nothing
of the key, which is at last found with infinite difficulty.
The administration must have a malicious joy in in-
filming the natural exasperation of menials when
" they hear the bell ;" and towards this end have hit on the
crafty device of making it jangle on by electricity in the
most ear-piercing and °lions way, until the servant comes
to stop it by pressing a button. Often do we see the sum-
moned menial rushing with a look of disgust and fury on
his face to stay this loathsome tintamarre ; otherwise the
alarm would go on to the crack of doom. This notion
might be commended with advantage to our monster Lon-
don hotels, where the impatient guest has to give a good
hard pull, to produce a faint and little regarded twang.
