TEE MINORITY CLAUSE.

Y: very effort is being made by the Liberal party in
London, Birmingham, and elsewhere to " defeat the
minority clause." The gain, however, if anything, will
be with the Liberals themselves. The clause
affects thirteen constituencies, returning forty
members. The Nonconformist, in calculating the
probable results of these elections, points out that the
same constituencies returned in 1865 thirty-five
members—twenty Conservatives and fifteen Liberals.
Giving the supportersof the Government the full
benefit of doubtful contests, it seems probable that the
seats affected by the minority principle will be about
equally divided, in which case the Liberal party would
benefit by the experiment to the extent of five seats.
This deduction, however, implies that they would
have been unable, if this innovation had not been
made, to gain a seat during the present election for
Berks, Bucks, and Oxford.

SenkirkA, anti is to the effect that the advertiser will
pay any elector who loses his situation through
voting at the election for Mr. Henry Richard and
Mr. Fothergill 20s. per week until such elector is pro-
vided with a similar situation. The other candidate,
Me. Bruce, is backed, it is said, by an ironmaster
employing 8,000 workmen.

t‘ SERVING TIIE LORD."

The Young Men's Christian Association at Bath
have adopted for their motto, " Not slothful in
business ; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord ;" an
excellent motto. The Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation have also engaged Professor Pepper to
lecture upon "Ironclads, shells, big guns, gun-
powder, and recent improvements in gun cotton."
Scarcely an edifying subject for " young men,"
this ; and not very closely allied to " Chris-
tianity."

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—Palpitation of
the heart is frequently not only felt, but heard, prevents sleep,
and begets the utmost dread of impending suffocation. These
Pills are particularly recommended for removing this affection,
because they strengthen the nervors and debilitated, who are
much more liable to this milady than other persons. Holloway's
Pills so improve the digestion, increase action of the liver, and
give activity to the bowels, that giddiness, headache, and nasuea
depart as the palpitation diMinishes, and the sufferer at once
experiences the most indescribable relief from anxiety. Hollo-
,way's Pills form the best alterative and aperient in all cases of
convalescence from fevers, `inflammations, neuralgia, and all
chronic diseases which have impoverished the blood and brain.

DISTURBANCES IN BOHEMIA.—The lndependance
Beige observes that the Governor of Bohemia has not had
long to wait before exercising his exceptional powers.
Until now the persons who have habitually created dis-
turbances dispersed at the sight of soldiers merely to
change the scene of disorder; but now the breakers of the
peace have been informed that the hour of tolerance is
over, and that General Koller is determined to maintain
order by all the means in his power. At Smichow lately
they had proof positive of his intentions, inasmuch as
several men were wounded, either from making resistance
or from being charged Oct brusquely.

THE CONTINGENT I3AEONETCY.

Mr. Darby Griffith appears to have discovered a
mare's nest. It is not the first time he has
made that discovery. He asserted that Sir Samuel
Bignold, being anxious to induce a certain gentleman
to stand for Norwich, received from him the answer
that he would do so only on his claims to a baronetcy
being recognised by the Premier, and that thereupon
Samuel obtained from Mr. Disraeli a promise that
the coveted honour should be bestowed. Sir Samuel
writes to deny the story in every particular. He
received no such communication, and made no such
application. Mr. Darby Griffith must try again.
CONSERVATIVE JOURNALISM.
The " Working Men's Constitutional Association
at Deal have passed a resolution, in which they com-
plain that all the most widely-circulated weekly news-
papers are of Liberal politics, and they ask the
Conservative unions to " agitate " for a Conservative
weekly paper. The men of Deal do not seem to have
heard of the British Monarchy and the British Lion,
both cheap weekly Conservative papers—both, we
believe, now defunct. Then there was the Realm, a
high-priced paper of " Constitutional " politics, which
lasted four weeks; and the Monitor, which was never
more than a name. Either Conservative papers are
very unfortunate, or Conservative newspaper readers
are very few.

THE BALLOT. ,
The Ballot Society, formed several years ago to
advocate the adoption of the ballot, admits, n an
address to the electors, that so far they have failed in
their object. Mr. Gladstone, in his speech at Liver-
pool, sheaved that he was still opposed to it • Mr. Mill,
m his speech to the constituency at Westminsters
declared very emphatically against it ; and thong
Mr. Bright still insists upon it, he elncs so with little ,
thatfervourwhich its advocates used in years gone L.
On the other hand, the new men of the Liberal part,
and most of the advanced candidates are going ii
strongly in its favour. It i 3 by no means improbabli
that the coming session will witness a struggle upol
it, and in no way impossible that another goner::.
election will be decided by the ballot-box. In th
meantime, however, the Ballot Society is very anxiom
as to the extent of corruption during the election
which are now at hand. They have, therefore
issued a manifesto, warning the electors, new am.
old, against the dangers to which they are expor.,-Cd
t cautions them against both corruption and

The inevitable " principle " of the Reform Bill
meets us at every turn. The fact is, that the per-
sonal payment of rates has been found altogether
unworkable. The poor people who were summoned
and could not pay have become so numerous that Mr.
Hardy has been appealed to. He has therefore
issued a circular pointing out that a summons is not
necessary as a preliminary to a relief from the
burden, but that a day may be appointed for those
desiring to be excused to wait upon the magistrates
and obtain a dispensation from payment.

THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN LONDOg.

" A Country Cousin " very wisely calls attention
to the strange neglect with which we are treating the
Chinese Embassy now in London. Here is a country
containing one third of the inhabitants of the globe,
which sends us 100,000,000 pounds of tea, and takes
from us 100,000,000 yards of Manchester and
Yorkshire fabrics every year, and yet its
official representatives have no sort of —State
reception; and for all that we know may be
a party of private gentlemen come over to see
Madame Tussaud's waxwork or the Tower. On the
other hand, if the Hereditary Grand Duke of Stiff-
und-Starkenstein, whose dominions consist of half a
dozen square miles predestined to be. gobbled up by
Prussia, and whose exports to England are repre-
sented by some thousand dozens of Seltzer water and
a few gross of meerschaum pipes per annum, had
paid us a visit, a special train would have conveyed
his Serenity from Southampton to London, a depu-
tation of directors would have been in attendance at
each railway terminus ; her Majesty's carriages,
accompanied, perhaps, by a squadron of Life Guards,
would have conveyed the illustrious stranger to
Windsor ; he would have dined in state at the
Mansion House, and feasted with civic companies. The
Americans know better. They are paying every
deference to a nation numerous enough, and if led by a
military genius powerful enough, to overrun Europe.
An astute New Englander presides over the mission,
and must be smiling grimly at our mistake. The
truth is, we cannot get rid of our old traditions
and because German dukelings still continue to
provide us with husbands and wives for the children
of our sovereign, we still think them as of
much importance as we did when the King of
England was King of Hanover, and China was a
terra incognita.

question as represented by one side. This in the
present phase of its development is injurious to the
bondholders themselves, and it is time that Euro-
pean papers should explain what it is that makes
men like Pendleton and Sherman view the subject

the citizens of the United States were better informed

tion at all, but have quietly submitted to the bond-

tin DISSOLUTION OP PARLIAMENT.

The speedy dissolution of Parliament is spoken of.
With more or less confidence by several of our con-
temporaries. The Times says that the event will
come off shortly before or after Lord Mayor's Day,
a thoroughly City mode of reckoning. The Daily
News and the Daily Telegraph are more precise.
They say that the writs will be issued on November
11, and that the borough elections will probably take
place on Monday and Tuesday, the 16th and 17th
and the county elections on the 18th and
20th. This would be a shorter interval than
usual between the two elections. This brevity arises
froth the fact that the Registration Act of last
session provides that knights of the shire shall be
elected within four days of making the proclamation,
instead of six, as heretofore. Presuming that these
statements are accurate, there is no reason why Par-
liament should not get through the work of swearing
in members and electing a Speaker by the' end of
November ; so that the great debate which is to
decide the fate of the Ministry may begin with
December.

MR. DOULTON.

Mr. Doulton, the Adullamite M.P. for Lam-
beth, has retired. We are not surprised to
hear it. Mr. Doulton alleges ill health ; the
same cause, by the way, which made him
ask for delay when certain grave charges were
brought against him at Brussels. his politics, too,
are not of the Lambeth pattern, and having no
longer an unlimited supply of money wherewith to
make them go down, he very wisely retires, and
leaves the battle to be fought by two rich citizens.
As the Liberal candidates are, by the retirement of
Mr. Hughes and Mr. Doulton, reduced from four to
two, the prospects of Mr. Morgan Howard, the
" Constitutional " candidate, are not brilliant.

the exposure -or both or them, in whatever "form
they may be manifested, that so their immediate
effects may as far as possible be neutralised
and their ultimate destruction secured. In connec-
with this subject, a novel address issued •to the
electors of Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare should be
noticed. It proceeds from an ironmaster, named
Jenkins, and is to the effect that the advertiser will
pay any elector who loses his situation through
voting at the election for Mr. Henry Richard and
Mr. Fothergill 20s. per week until such elector is pro-
vided with a similar situation. The other candidate,
Mr. Bruce, is backed, it is said, by an ironmaster
employing 8,000 workmen.

MR. GLADSTONE ON THE CHINESE WAR.

A correspondent of the Times illustrates what he
calls " the inaccuracy of contemporary history," by a
criticism of Mr. Gladstone's speech at Warrington.
The right hon. gentleman ascribed the Chinese mis-
Understanding in 1559 to Lord Elgin's being escorted
up the Peiho by a fleet, when he went to sign the
treaty of peace. " Civilian," however, points out, in a
letter to the Times, that there are several in-
accuracies in this statement. In the first place, it
was Sir F. Bruce, and not Lord Elgin, who went to
the Peiho in June 1859 ; and, in the second,
his mission was not to sign a treaty of peace, but to
exchange the ratifications of the treaty of peace
which had been signed by Lord Elgin twelve months
before=in June 1858. And as to criticising the
Government
,(Conservative) for sending the fleet out,
" Civilian " maintains that it wb,.: a precaution snore
than justified by the treachery suet IN;ith.

THE CLAIM TO THE DERWENTWATER

ESTATES.

Although the position of the "Countess" at Dilston
remains the same, the public interest manifested in her
favour seems not to diminish in the least. Amongst her
many visitors on Wednesday was Mr. Edwin Cadman, of
Westbourne House, Yorkshire, who claims to be a
descendant of Charles Radcliffe, and next of kin to the
" Countess." This gentleman has had an interview
with Mr. Grey on behalf of his relative, whose present
position Mr. Cadman condemns as altogether useless and
invalid. The " Countess" would not listen to his Counsel,
but asserted her determination to remain as she was until
compelled to move by magisterial interferer.. Weeks
may elapse before any change is made, as neither party
appear willing to act in the matter. The persuasion of
friends having been of no avail with the " Countess," it
remains to be seen what action neighbouring justices of
the peace are prepared to take in the matter.

a'HE MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES AND
ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS.

The meeting of the Middlesex magistrates this sessions
was occupied in discussing the question of appointing a
Roman Catholic chaplain to the Middlesex House of Cor-
rection and the Westminster Bridewell. The matter was
brought up by Mr. Northall Laurie, who moved, "That
in consideration of the large number of Roman Catholic
prisoners usually confined in the Middlesex House of
Correction and Westminster Bridewell, whose reli-
gious instruction according to their own persuasion
is dependent at present on the gratuitous and
voluntary services of Roman Catholic ministers, it
be referred to the respective committees of visiting
justices of those prisons to consider and report their
opinions as to the amount and mode of appropriation of a
reasonable remuneration, to be paid under the provisions
of the Prison Ministers Act, 1863, to Roman Catholic
ministers officiating in those prisons." The motion, how-
ever, was strenuously opposed. One of the magistrates
gave his opinion against it on the ground that under Roman
Catholic rule there was no toleration in any country in the
world ; and the Church of Rome would never allow anyone
to worship his Creator according to the dictates of his own
conscience. After a great deal of discussion, the resolution
vas put and lost by a majority of 44 to 30.

MR. PURCHAS AND THE BISHOP OF CEELCHESTED.

correspondence of seven letters between Mr.
Purchas, the Bishop of Chichester, and Mr. Wagner,
the vicar of Brighton, is published. The Times
makes it the subject of a severe article upon the first-
named gentleman. The letters scarcely justify that
severity. Mr. Purchas disputes the legality of the
Bishop's inhibition, not because ho believes his
ritual to be lawful, but because he is the incumbent
of a benefice, and cannot be legally inhibited,
as a clergyman who is only a curate can be.
The question at issue is, therefore, no longer one of
doctrine or ritual, but of property. The Bishop has
a perfect right to proceed against Mr. Purchas, but
he must do so legally. It does not appear that he is
doing this. Another point is raised incidentally in
the correspondence. Complaints have been made
against Mr. Purehas for mutilating the service.
He admits the mutilation, but says it took
place only on one occasion and in conse-
quence of his sudden illness, and that it shall not
occur again—a sufficient answer, one would have sup-
posed. On the other hand, he alleges that the vicar
of Brighton persistently, constantly, and of full pur-
pose " mutilates " the services, by infrequent celebra-
tions of the Holy Communion, by the total omission
of all the saints' day services, and of those for Ash
Wednesday and Ascension Day; by omissions of parts
of the marriage service, he not allowing marriages to
be solemnised in the other churches. Lastly, Mr. Wag-
ner charges fees for the registration of baptisms, a pro-
ceeding which, inasmuch as it virtually amounts to sell-
ing one of the sacraments is infinitely more important
and more objectionable than the presence of lighted
candles on the altar. Clearly, the bishops ought to
be impartial ; and if they are determined to insist
upon exact compliance with the Act of Uniformity,
they must demand it as much from those who err by
defect as from those who err by excess. In this
matter the Bishop of Chester set a good example to
the Bishop of Chichester when he replied to the
memorial presented to him by Dr. M'Neile and other
Low Church clergy of his diocese.

'FIE CONGREGATIONAL UNION,

At the meeting of the Congregational Union, at Leeds,
en Thursday, Mr. J. Carvell Williams read apa per on " The
Duty of Protestant Nonconformists in regard to the
approaching General Election." He said, with a general
election immediately at hand, instead of devoting them-
selves, as the Nonconformists had been accustomed to do,
to the redress of personal grievances, now they were reso-
lutely insisting upon the adoption of a great principle.
He noticed the almost entire unanimity of the Liberal
party as regarded the Irish Church, and attributed a
good deal of it to the influence of Nonconformity. When
the election was over let Nonconformists and others pre-
pare themselves for the duties that were to follow. It
was said this election would be the most costly and
corrupt ever known. He thought he heard it asked, "Are
we likely to contaminate our hands by base bribes?" He
hoped the event would justify the reply, " Impossible."
But it was not enough for Christian men to say their
hands were clean, because they had as far as possible
to keep others as clean-handed as themselves. No one
could doubt the influence of Nonconformists in the
electoral committee-room, and they must stamp out
this moral plague, as well as set themselves against
that profligate expenditure which was the bane
and promised to be the ruin of our electoral
system.—A resolution was then moved, " That this
assembly, in receiving the valuable paper now read,
express a firm conviction that the suffrages of the mem-
bers of their churches would at this time be given only to
candidates in favour of the great principle of religious
freedom, for which this denomination has uniformly con-
tended ; and that all members of this union should dis-
courage to the utmost of their power all electoral practices
objectionable in their character, and to act upon the high
principles of patriotism and religion."—Some discussion,
or rather some conversation, took place on the motion,
which was eventually carried, and the third day's session
was then brought to a close.

A CHANCE FOR CANIAL.

Many of the wheat laden vessels which leave our city.
for England take from one to two hundred tons of copper
ore. In this manner some thousands of tons of California
copper find their way to Swansea every year. Fivej
sia
thou-
sand tons have gone this year up to this date, wi
in-
cludes the Pasithea's cargo of 800 tons. At the same time
every particle of the manufactured
is
copper, brass, and
..
Sheathing metal used on this coast imported, princi-
pally, from Great Britain. In this respect wo are pre-
cisely in the same condition the Atlantic States occupied
for many years in regard to cotton fabrics. We furnish
the raw material in the greatest abundance, pay the
freight to England, • pay the cost for its manufac-
ture and a profit on the business, pay freight for the
return of the manufactured article, and pay the duties ou
Me 'eleinitiOnalized copper, brass, and sheathing metal used
in this country. It seems incredible that there should be
so much differonco in the price of labour as to forbid the im-
portation of skilled operatives, and the conversion of our
copper ores into the articles above enumerated. Ore-
gon is now turning out pig iron equal to the
imported article, and the experiment, so far, has proved a
paying success. The wages of workmen skilled iu ironmon-
gery are fully equal to those of the workers in copper, an.l
if the one can be employed with paying results, we can con-
ceive no good reason why the other cannot bo made equally
remunerative. We entertain no doubt that if this business
were vigorously undertaken, California would shortly be
able to turn out all the copper required for the use of the
Pacific coast at a lower price than it can now be obtained for
from abroad. An enterprise of the kind once fairly inaugu-
rated would materially enhance our ship-building interest,
which. would in turn give employment to thousands of me-
chanics, and enable us to supply the demands of our rapidly
increasing commerce from our own resources, and with
much less expense than at present. There is no lack of
capital for an undertaking of such momentous importance.
Money is becomipg almost a drug, and unless it can find
employment at reasonable rates, the rates of interest must
decline. In a case like this the investment would be per-
manent, consequently all the more desirable. This city has
successfully competed with other places iu the manufac-
ture of many staple articles once thought impossible of
profitable fabrication ; but steady determination and the
abundance of native raw material invariably overcame all
obstacles. If copper ore can lie profitably reduced and re-
fined in this city, the immediate and resultant benefits
would be almost incalculable.
