PROPHECIES.

The Conservative journals have very properly
eschewed anything like definite prophecy. The
Standard asserts that the Liberals can only be vic-
torious by the " supineness, the negligence, or the
disunion " of the Conservatives. A long appeal
to these follows, in which they are exhorted
to desert everything in order that they may
record their votes for the great principles
of the Constitution, "the fabric of our national reli-
gion, the life of our English liberties." The Spectator
still anticipates a majority of 100 for the Liberals,
and the same is endorsed by all the Liberal journals.

are course Actoptsft by ITIV7R. *G.n (Mr:
bone Greg), and to refute his arguments. 11e says
that if the tithe rentcharges of the Church are 11
fund held in trust by the State for ecclesiastical pur.
poses, the State is guilty of a gross breach of trust in
applying it to purposes regarded as positively wicked
by the majority of the population. If the State is
bound to look after the interests of a small
congregation, on the plea that the fewer
the number the less able they would be to
maintain a clergyman, then, " J. F. S." says, the State
is bound to provide for every little knot of Catholics
scattered through England and Wales. Again :if a
man cared so much about a clergyman that he would
leave his estate or farm rather than go without one,
lie would provide one at his own expense rather than
leave his estate ; and if he cares so little about his
religion that he becomes a Catholic as soon as the
State ceases to keep a Protestant clergyman to look
after him, he is not much of a Protestant. As to
" W. E. G.'s " objection that no one knows what it is
proposed to do with the endowments of the Church,
that is jumping before you come to the stile.
The strangest position of " W. R. G. " is, that though
he disbelieves in the creed of the Church, he thinksit has a prescriptive right given it by long existence
If " W. B. G." were a High Churchman, the writer
could understand him ; but looking upon the Cl.i.urch
as a creature of Parliament, it is strange that ho
should wish to establish a vast clerical corporation,
free from State control, and possessing a revenue
counted by millions, to propagate what he considers
a false creed.

THE ELECTIONS.

We have little else to chronicle to-day but the
progress of the elections. The standing topics of the
recess have given way to election speeches—good,
bad, and indifferent. Three " great guns " went off
on Friday night. Messrs. Gladstone and Bright on
the one hand, and Lord Stanley on the other. Mr.
Gladstone does not seem to think it beneath him
to answer the absurd calumnies which have been
circulated concerning him. Probably he antici-
pates such a hard battle in South Lancashire
that he will not allow his opponents even one
arrow, though it be pointless, to use against
him. Mr. Bright, at Saltley, went over the
old ground. It was, he said, a fight between the two
principles—government by the few, and government
by the many. The Tories wasted the national
money. The Liberals wanted to do justice to Ire-
land. Lord Stanley, on Ireland, sets forth very
forcibly the views of the Conservatives on the
Irish questions, dissevered from the prejudices
which surround the arguments of so many of the
Constitutional speakers.
London, England, 1868-11-16

THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

Meanwhile, election squabbles continue to excite
the interest of the several constituencies. Mr.
Labouchere, the late member for Middlesex, seems
to have become quite alarmed as to his chances for
the county. The "revelation" which he made Just
on the eve of the election was ill-timed and unneces-
sary. Most of the electors would have remained in
" happy " ignorance of any great split, and would
have voted right. But when they see the two can-
didates calling one another liar and sneak, the ques-
tion naturally arises—especially among the waverers
—are these the men who should legislate for the
country ? Mr. Labouchere writes to the papers
urging on Lord Enfield to unite. " Lord
Enfield considers himself and Lord George
Hamilton to be what he is pleased to call ' scions
of a noble stock.' I am a man of the mi ldle
class. lie considers himself my superior. Let us
agree to differ on this point. Unless we do unite, a
Conservative will get in for Middlesex, although the
Liberals are in a large majority. Either Lord Enfield
will beat me by Conservative split-votes—for .I am
proud to say not one Conservative supports me—or,
RS the Liberals do not like the idea of two members
beingreturned by Conservative votes, they may plump
for me, and Lord Enfield will then lose his seat."
Mr. Labouchere offers to put the whole matter into
the hands of a committee. It should be added that
Sir F. Pollock (late Lord Chief Baron) has an-
nounced his intention of voting for Lord Geom.
Hamilton.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Full average supplies of foreign stock were on sale here
to-day in fair condition. The demand, on the whole, was
less active, and prices had a drooping tendency.
From our own grazing districts a good show of beasts
was exhibited, the quality of which was only middling,
but we noticed some very choice animals from Scotland.
The trade ruled less brisk than on Monday last, and prices
gave way 2d per 81b, the extreme price for best Scots and
crosses being 5s 4d per 81b.

There was an average number of sheep in the pens, but
really choice arriTals were scarce. The attendance of
buyers was limited, and trade ruled dull, at a reduction of
fully 2d. per 81b in the quotations. The highes price rea-
lised was os per 81b.

Prime ainall calves changed hands at about stationary
currencies, but inferior animals were dull of sale.

The pig trade was quiet, but no quotable change took
place in values.
NEWGATE AND ILEADENHALL.
These markets have been heavily supplied with most
descriptions of meat, for which the trade has ruled active.

LONDON PERILS.

There is an amusing letter in the Post, written
from Belgravia by "in Unguarded Spinster," and
honoured with leader type. The lady says she is a
maiden of means, and possesses considerable attrac-
tions in the shape of trinkets, plate, &c. The news-
paper statements of police inefficiency had made her
nervous lately. She had hoped that they were exagge-
rated, but she relapsed into horror the other morning
at receiving a printed placard delivered at her house
by a policeman in uniform. She is instructed that
five modes of burglary may be efireetually prevented
if due precautions are taken by the inmates. The
modes mentioned are—entering with false or skeleton
keys, especially on Saturday and Sunday evenings;
passing through an adjoining empty house, and
entering through attic windows ; removing insecure
shutters ; calling at the house on pretended errands;
and, lastly, by climbing up the portico and entering
through the upper windows. The portico is too
much for this spinster's peace of mind. She thinks of
mantraps and spring-guns in the area and balcony,
but she would prefer to come to an understanding
with the robbers, and pay black-mail, thus adding a
robber rate to a police rate. The " force of folly "
in the Metropolitan Police Office "can nolurther go."
If householders really have to turn their houses into
garrisons, and take the law into their own hands,
some of these burglars may have to regret that the
negligence of the police encouraged them to undue
confidence in their depredations.

DEATH OF BARON JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD.—Baron
James de Rothschild died in Paris yesterday morning.
He was the fifth and last-surviving son of Meyer-Anslem,
the founder of the house of Rothschild, and was born in
Frankfort on the 15th May, 1792. He settled in Paris in
1812, and was the head of the financial establishment fn
that city with which his family is connected. He re-
ceived from the Emperor of Austria, soon afterwards, the
post of Consul-General of his empire in France. Baron
James de Rothschild has been decorated with several
orders, amongst them the Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honour. He was married to a daughter of his brother
Solomon, and has a son, Edmund, who, in 1856, espoused
his cousin, a daughter of Baron Lionel de Rothschild, of
London, who being the son of Nathan de Rothschild, is
the nephew of the deceased Baron.

IRON AND COAL TRADE OF SOUTH WALES.—
Operations at the leading ironworks are being carried on
with something like regularity, and the hands are work-
ing four and five turns a week, which is considered pretty
full time. Although the Russian navigation season has
closed, orders are coming in sufficient to keep the mills
and forges well going, and there is every prospect of their
continuing so up to theend of the present quarter. Seve-
ral masters have refused to accept orders for delivery
next year at present rates, and this gives hope of an ad-
vance taking place at the next quarterly meeting. Clear-
ances are being made to South America, and will be
speedily followed by others, there being several orders on
makers' books-from that country. The shipments to the
United States are gradually increasing, and a fair amount
of business is being transacted with Continental houses.
Bars sell freely, and pigs of the best brands command an
average sale. The steam coal trade is quiet, owing to
the scarcity of tonnage ; but for house qualities the de-
mand iN increasing.

PAY FOR PILOTS.

In the advances that have been made of late years,
none have been more marked than the advances in
the rates of wages and the prices of commodities of
all kinds. It stands to reason, therefore, that Govern-
ment emplopfs and others with fixed salaries require
that these should be raised, if it is necessary
to maintain the old standard of position. Apropos to
this, rather a queer story is told by a correspondent
of the United Service Gazette. The loss of the Devon
and seventeen lives is still fresh in the memory of
those who are accustomed to read the reports of
wrecks. " The Devon," says the correspondent, "was
a lighter of 154 tons register, her crew consisted of
a master, mate, ten able seamen, and a boy ; she
had on board a general cargo, consisting of dock
and victualling-yard stores, and five passengers ; the
value of shipand cargo wouldbe, I should suppose, from
£lO,OOO to £12,000 ; the whole of this property and
life was in the sole charge of two officers, both good
men and respected by all. How were those officers
paid ? lam informed that the master received 6s.
and the mate 2s. per day. It really surpises one to
hear that 2s. per day is the pay of an officer who
has to assist the master in navigating a vessel
from one port to another with a valuable cargo ; and
what is of considerablymore importanceis, the master's
and the seamen's lives are entrusted to the skill
and judgment of the mate during his watch on deck.
There are dangers besides rocks and sands a seaman
has to avoid. What of collisions ? The danger of a
collision is well known to your nautical readers, and is
as fatal to life and property as any other danger. If
I mistake not, the pay of able seamen in the War
Department vessels is more than the pay of a mate
in the dockyard craft, and seamen in one of the
victualling-yard steamers under the Board of
Admiralty are in receipt tif the same rate of pay as
the mates of the sea-going dockyard lighters."

A 'WORKHOUSE DOOR.

" Effusion of serum on the brain " is the stereo-
typed verdict when a man is allowed to die of starva-
tion. A piteous tale has been told by Cecilia Bridges
at an inquest in Bethnal-green upon the emaciated
body of her husband. There were five of them in
the family, earning altogether ss. a week. They had
no meat for five months, and were glad to divide a
herring amongst them. One evening the husband
returned, and,throwing sixpence on the table,said he
was dying of weakness, and that his sufferings
were unbearable. His wife urged him to go to
the workhouse, and he replied that last
winter admission was refused him. His wife
then applied at the workhouse. "Go and work" was
the answer. "We have neither food nor fire,"
pleaded the woman. " W"e have plenty of these tales"
was the reply ; and when she begged for a loaf of
bread, she was turned away from the door. She, her
husband, and three children, then lay down on the
floor at', home. They laid there from Satur-
day evening till Sunday mid-day. One of
the boys then went out, and borrowed three-
pence from another boy, to buy some bread.
On the Tuesday the man died, saying, " I have been
walking about in search of work for three days. I
have had no food day or night during those three
days except half a halfpenny loaf and a little cold
water." The woman's tale was not refuted, and the
jury expressed their dissatisfaction with the
workhouse people ; but the usual starvation
verdict was returned without anyone being made
responsible. We cannot let this miserable case pass
without expressing a wish that the responsibility could
be attached to time one. Whether that poor man's
death is chargeable to a muddling system of poor-law.
administration, to local meanness, or to individual
brutality, for some one, or for us all, there remains,
the dreadful alternative to the promise, " Turn not,
thy face from any poor man, and then the face of ths.
Lord shall never be turned from thee,"

MR. 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 dogs 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.

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY BILL.

This measure has not only passed through the Lower
House of the Reichsrath, but has encountered none of the
opposition that was expected. No modification of any
importance has been made. It was attempted to change
the war total of the army from 800,000 to 600,000, but
this proposition failed. The clause by which the
Reichsrath surrenders its right to alter the figure of the
annual contingent for ten years, was passed by more than
three to one. Yet it was at this stage of the measurt
that the greatest opposition was expected ; the Hungarians
are said to be favourable to it. At least the measure is
secure now.

President-LHis trace the Duke of BUCCLET:7CH, K.G.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1825, 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 3000 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.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ;

PROPHECIES.

The Conservative journals have very properly
eschewed anything like definite prophecy. The
Standard asserts that the Liberals can only be vic-
torious by the " supineness, the negligence, or the
disunion " of the Conservatives. A long appeal
to these follows, in which they are exhorted
to desert everything in order that they may
record their votes for the great principles
of the Constitution, "the fabric of our national reli-
gion, the life of our English liberties." The Spectator
still anticipates a majority of 100 for the Liberals,and the same is endorsed by all the Liberal journals.

SCOTCH QUEEN'S COUNSEL.

An attack has been made on the Government for
bestowing the rank of Queen's Counsel on some
Scotch lawyers. There has hitherto been equality at
the bar. The Law Times gives a satisfactory reason
for the appointments. " When appeals from the
Scotch courts come before the House of Lords it is
usual to retain the advocate who was in the case in
the court below. In practice inconvenience has
been found to arise from the fact that as there are
no Queen's Counsel in Scotland, the leading brief
must always be given to an English barrister, so that
the man who knows most about the matter is com-
pelled to play second fiddle. To remedy this, four
gentlemen, selected equally from both parties, have
just received silk gowns, which will render it possible
to put them in the forefront of the forensic battle.
should their clients so desire. There can have
been no political motive in the promotion of these
gentlemen."

PURITY OF ELECTION.

Alas ! for purity of election. We had almost
begun to congratulate ourselves that the days of
bribery and corruption were over. But before we
raising the pecan, we have—and 'on the eve of the
battle—ugly rumours about one constituency, and
this not in lax England, but in strict Scotland ; not at
the lower, but at the higher end of the scale. The
London correspondent of the Elgin Courant says :
" I hear that, which ever way the election for the
Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow goes, there
will b e an attempt made to impugn the purity of the
election. The Lord Advocate's supporters aver that
they have a strong case as regards the associations
who paid the fees, for other reasons, ostensibly, than
political motives ; and again, Mr. Moncreiffs friends
assert that they are in possession of positive proof
that a gentleman in Ireland, interested in Alr.
Gordon's return, has been paying fees for medical
graduates. It will assuredly be a very ugly affair if
it should get the length of a petition, on, which appears
inevitable, whichever side is victorious. Won't the
Southerners crow over the corruption in a Scottish
university constituency P It is no reply to say the
fee was a mistake."

TWO IRISH PRELATES ON THE ELECTIONS.
Cardinal Cullen has set a good example to the
Protestant clergy by issuing
.a pastoral, in which he
calls upon the Roman Catholic electors of Ireland to
avoid the immoderate use of intoxicating liquors
during the elections, and expresses a hope that the
contests may be conducted without a resort to
bribery. The Cardinal reminds the constituencies
of the many vital interests which are at stake, and
points to every citizen to discharge faithfully "the
duty which his reason and conscience dictate." lie
adds that "no lasting good can be secured by vio-
lence of any kind."

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, Dr.
Kieran, has issued a pastoral to his clergy in Louth,
in which he exhorts them to use their influence to
prevent the return of Mr. Preston for the
county, and to support Mr. Dease. The Arch-
bishop says : " The question which is to be decided
in theimpending struggle is not a question between
Mr. Dease and Mr. Preston, nor between Mr.
Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli ; it is a question between
the people of Ireland struggling to be placed on a
footing of equality with their Protestant fellow-coun-
trymen, and a ' miserable monopolising minority'
fighting for the maintenance of an odious ascendancy.
If the people of Louth return a Tory candidate at
the approaching election, or permit such an event
to take place, it is not Mr. Pease or Mr. Gladstone
they will injure, but themselves and their children.
They could not take a more fatal or suicidal course
than lend any aid to a party who have never missed
an opportunity of insulting the people of Ireland,
and who will employ for the degradation of Catholics
any power with which Catholics may help to invest
them."

THE IRISH CHURCH.
