THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN LONDON.

" 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
offiicial 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 Lye been in attendance at
each railway terminus ; her Majesty's carriages,
accompanied, perhaps, by a squa,dro3 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 compamez, 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. Thf
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.

THE MINORITY CLAUSE.

Every 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.

THE HOME SECRETARY AND THE PAYMENT OF

POOR RATES.

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 BEV. ALAN GREENWELL.

The Manchester Examiner is responsible for the
following paragraph :—" An announcement is made
which has no doubt some relation to the recent
ritualistic observances at Haydock, near Warrington.
The Rev. Alan Greenwell, vicar of Thydock, under
whose direction the ceremonies took place, will in a
few months resign his office as a clergyman of the
Established Church." Surely this is a tragical ending
to the pig's-head comedy. Only why does Mr. Green-
well mean to wait "a few months," if hA intends to
resign his office ?

" SERVING THE LORD."

The Young Mcn'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, 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."

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1868.

THE QUEEN'S PRIZE AT WIMBLEDON.

Corporal Peake, the volunteer who got the highest
lumber of marks at the last Wimbledon meeting for the
celebrated Queen's Prize, does not appear to have used a
wad other than that prescribed by the regulations. A
court of inquiry has been held, and has come to the follow-
ing conclusion :—" The court of inquiry, having duly
considered the evidence brought before it, is of opinion
that Corporal Peake did not use a wad other' than
that prescribed by the Council of the National Rifle
Association at Wimbledon, but that the appearance
of his having done so was created by his having
separated the metallic disc from the cartridge in
some instances. It is, therefore, of opinion that Corporal
Peake's character for honourable dealing is in no
way impugned by his conduct during the competition."
Mr. Peake himself writes to the Times, and gives the fol-
lowing explanation of how the mistake occurred :—" To
those who do not understand the construction of the
Whitworth cartridge, I may explain that the bullet is a
mechanical fit, and has a wad attached to the base composed
of grease, placed between two copper discs which exactly fit
the bore of the rifle. In some instances I separated the wad
from the cartridge, and pushed it down separately upon the
powder and the bullet afterwards, which I had a perfect
right to do, though it is contrary to the usual c-astom of
ramming down the wad and bullet together. This, no
doubt, may have led some, who perhaps wished to find
fault; to infer or suppose that I used a different wad, which
I did not. Touching the evidence against me, the person
who lodged the protest never came before the committee
or appeared in support of the protest, and judgment was
given without his testimony. The only two witnesses that
I am aware of who gave testimony adverse to me were Mr.
Cameron, who said he saw me fire one shot only in the
competition with my two 'lighters at 1,000 yards, and the
Master of Lovat, who said he watched me at the same
range, saw me load one or two shots, and felt
confident I used another wad. He not only acted as
accuser and witness against me, but also was one of those
composing the court which condemned me. In opposition
to this, I shot in a squad composed of ten competitors,
none of whom appeared against me, but three of them
came forward, who were entire strangers to me, and
who had watched my loading particularly, to bear testi-
mony in my favour. Five gentlemen were examined on
my side who were ready to swear they saw no unfairness.
I may also add that the officer in charge (an officer of the
Line) came to me while shooting and told me that some
objection would be made to my loading, and I then asked
him to watch me, which he did for several shots, and said
all was right." A further inquiry into this case will
e,oubtless be made.

THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE.

The rector of Woodland, North Lancashire, Mr.
Shuffiebotha,m, lately asked his diocesan, the Bishop
of Carlisle, to be present at • the laying the founda-
tion-stone of a new parsonage. Bishop Waldegrave
declined,{ and in a second letter denounced harvest
thanksgivings and choral services as " stumbling-
blocks m a brother's way, when a Romanising party
in our Church is busy in every direction in that unhal-
lowed work." Is it possible that a bishop of the English
Church, a double first class university man, a Protestant
of Protestants,whohasalways contended for " an open
Bible," is so little acquainted with that book as to be
ignorant that harvest thanksgivings are to be found
there ; that they were common t o thousand years
before Popery ; and that the Psalms which he thinks
ought to be read were written by their composers to
be sung ? Was David or was Asaph a Papist ? Is
not rather Bishop Waldegrave, who denies the right
of private judgment.?

CAPTAIN SIIERAIID OSBORN.

Captain Sherard Osborn, who is now contesting
Birkenhead in the Liberal interest, has just made a
very remarkable speech. It was upon the subject of
naval expenditure, but instead of dealing with tile
well-known facts and figures which have been already
discussed ad nauseam, he went to the root of the mat-
ter, and shelved that our extravagance arose from
a false and antiquated foreign policy. He
contended that " the British notion that the high seas
were made for Englishmen only, was beginning to
give way. He had found it very difficult to bring
his mind to the conclusion that the high seas were not
altogether made for Englishmen. The notion
of exclusiveness was disappearing, and in
company with it the impression that Eng-
land ought to keep up squadrons in. all
the seas of the world, and maintain the police of
those seas for the rest of the world at her own expense.
Various strong positions in different parts of the
world, such as Gibraltar, had been seized, and the
English people were told that those places were
' keys' which must be fortified. The fact was, that
in these days of ironclad steamers such keys were
practically useless. Twenty Gibraltars could not pre-
vent those steamers from going into or coming out of
the Mediterranean Sea." We believe that hitherto the
authors of " Essays on International Policy "—Mr.
Congreve,
.Mr. Beesly, Dr. Bridges, and others of
the " Positivist " school—have been the only persons
bold enough to declare that we ought to surrender
Gibraltar. That a member of one of the " services "
should assert this, is indeed a remarkable occurrence.
Captain Osborn appears equally prepared to give up
Malta, which costs us a million a year, and says that
he will assist Mr. Gladstone in demanding that
England shall no longer be burdened with the cost
of defending Canada. If Mr. Gladstone gets many
such allies as Captain Osborn the reform of our
national expenditure will prove far easier than a
reform of Parliament proved.

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN,

PARIS, Oct, 15.

The Gaulois of this evening publishes a letter
from General Prim, in which he denies
the statement that he had been to Fontain-
blean to solicit an audience of the Emperor,
and likewise that he had received 600,000 thalers
from Prussia. General Prim says in his letter that
Spain emancipated herself by means of her own
resources and by the blood of her own children.
The Madrid correspondent of the Gaulois asserts
that an English firm has offered to furnish Spain
with a loan of 500 million francs at an interest of
5 per cent.

Bickley he took a deliberate jump from the platform on

but was then run over and cut to pieces.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

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
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.

CAPTAIN SZERARD 0.930 RN.

Captain Sherard Osborn, who is now contesting
Birkenhead in the Liberal interest, has just made a
very remarkable speech. It was upon the subject of
naval expenditure, but instead of dealing with the
well-known facts and figures which have been already
discussed ad nauseant, he went to the root of the mat-
ter, and sheaved that our extravagance arose from
a false and antiquated foreign policy. Tie
contended that " the British notion that the high seas
were made for Englishmen only, was beginning to
give way. lie had found it very difficult to bring
his mind to the conclusion that the high seas were not
altogether made for Englishmen. The notion
of exclusiveness was disappearing, and in
company with it the impression that
i Eng-
land ought to keep up squadrons n. all
the seas of the world, and maintain the police of
those seas for the rest of the world at her own expense.
Various strong positions in different parts of the
world;such as Gibraltar, had been seized, and the
English people were told that those places were
4 keys' which must be fortified. The fact was, that
in these days of ironclad steamers such keys were
practically useless. Twenty Gibraltars could not pre-
vent those steamers from going into or coming out of
the Mediterranean Sea." We believe that hitherto the
authors of " Essays on International Policy "—Mr.
Congreve, Mr. Beesly, Dr. Bridges, and others of
the " Positivist " school—have been the only persons
bold enough to declare that we ought to surrender
Gibraltar. That a member of one of the " services "
should assert this, is indeed a remarkable occurrence.
Captain Osborn appears equally prepared to give up
Malta, which costs us a million a year, and says that
he will assist Mr. Gladstone in demanding that
England shall no longer be burdened with the cost
of defending Canada. If Mr. Gladstofie gets many
such allies as Captain Osborn the reform of our
national expenditure will prove far easier than a
reform of Parliament proved.

THE STATE PURCHASE OF RAILWAYS.

The Daily .2\rews publishes another letter from Mr.
Arthur Williams on the purchase of railways by the
State. In his last production Mr. Williams adduced
some of the advantages of appropriation. It muss
be admitted they are very great indeed. There
would be one manageniant, resulting in harmony of
action, economy of v .rTiing, certainty of regulation
and facility of transit. Instead of conflicting interest
there would be only one master -; the enormous
salaries to boards would be saved ; a smalle
number of officials would be required; the enormous
legal " item" would be almost swept way;a the fares
would become uniform, and, as a result of the better
management, lower. This latter statement Mr.
Williams will justify in another letter.

'WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE.
It is a question,after all,whether in providing their
large subterranean tunnels the corporation of the
metropolis obtained the best solution of the drainage
difficulty. The trial at the Wimbledon volunteer
meeting this year of Moule's dry earth closets
resulted satisfactorily. Here was a town established
in a few hours, without the means of making sewers
of any kind, and yet with perfect drainage—if
we may so express it—drainage without
water. There were—so, at least, it is posi-
tively stated—no noxious smells or pestiferous
gases, no waste of valuable water (for water on the
Common was valuable indeed), and comparatively
little labour. That these closets might be set up in
villages is now generally admitted. Would it be
poszible that they should be used in towns ? Mr.
Thomas Hawkesley says " yes," and in a letter to
the Times fi,.,-lviscas that an experiment should
be made. His prop,;sal is rather arbitrary, however.
" Let the Government,", lie says, " set apart a portion
of the town for the purpose, and interdict the house-
holders in that district from throwing anything but
animal refuse into earth closets or receptacles, or
from disposing of such refuse in any oilier way; then
a company would be formed to work the district
allotted to it."

A SCENE IN THE OPERA HOUSE AT

MADRID.

On the night of the 11th instant there was a uni-
versal fete in Madrid. After bull-fights came the opera.
There was a grand performance for the .benefit of the
wounded of Alcolea. The theatre was full, and Marshal
Serrano, General Prim, and Admiral Topote occupied a front
box. The piece selected for the occasion was the "Muetta di
Portici." The celebrated duet, "Sacred love of country,"
given with great' energy and passion by Tamberlik and
Selva, raised thunders of applause, and was twice encored,
But this was nothing to what occurred in the
second act. A poet of the neighbourhood had
written throe stanzas, which were adapted to the grand
air with which this act opens, and naturally related
to Spain and liberty. Tamberlik, who appeared to feel
great sympathy for the Spanish Revolution, sang these
stanzas in the Spanish language, and was applauded to
the skies. There was an enthusiastic ovation which
seemed as though it would never end, and the signal
for which was given by Gen. Prim, Marshal Serrano, and
Admiral Topete. The scene recalled to mind some of the
wonderful performances of Rachel in Paris after the 24th of
February.

'HE CONGREGATIONAL UNION,

At the meeting of the Congregational Union, at Leeds,
on Thursday, Mr. J. Carvell Williams read apaper 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.

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 1859 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 Pciho in June 1859 ; and, in the second,
his mission was not to sign a treaty of peace, but to
exchange tin ratifications of the treaty of peace
which hzd 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 was a precaution more
than justified by the treachery met with.
