DISESTABLISIMEN T.

The Saturday Review admits that the idea of
disestablishment has become strangely familiar to
the extreme men of the High Church party during
the last two or three years. Dissatisfaction at the
constitution of the Supreme Court of Appeal has
done much, and the irritation caused by that novel
phase of Erastianism which finds so persistent and
outspoken a representative in the Pall Mall Gazette
has done more, to bring this about. Formerly the
conviction in every man's mind seemed to be that
the union of Church and State would last his time
at all events. Now the tables are turned, and we
have the strange spectacle of finding not here and
there a solitary fanatic, but quite a party among
the clergy who appear to regard ultimate disestab-
lishment as extremely probable, if not absolutely
inevitable. This new-school clergyman's attitude
in view of the coming future may be one of despair,
or resignation, or even absolute satisfaction ; but,
whichever it be, the fact that it is coming is ad-
mitted to be a foregone conclusion. Still there is
a great difference between a semi-fatalist acceptance
of disaster and a voluntary movement to meet it
half way. The latter may be—nine times out of ten
is —the wisest course ; but it nee Is an amount of
resolution, and a capacity of acting on probabili-
ties, which are not commonly found in any large
and ill-organised body of men. And in this
instance they will have but little time in which
to grow accustomed to the idea. Mr. Coleridge's
bill, if not a more peremptory measure, will cer-
tainly be reintroduced next session, and the inter-
val between its introduction and its passing the
House of Lords—which can hardly be more than
one or two sessions—is all that will be left to Dr.
Pusey to convert the Church of England. It is
but a short space, considering the work that has to
be crowded into it. A couple of years to bring a
great party in the Established Church up to the
point of proposing its own disestablishment. For
Dr. Pusey's scheme comes to nothing short of this.
He must be prepared, as the only chance of suc-
cess, to be takensat his word. It is the Japanese
happy despatch and nothing else. He has to win
over to his scheme both his own party and the
Liberals. It is the first step that Dr. Pusey will
Lind most difficult. The miracle will be if he can
so far influence the High Church party as to get
the proposal seriously made. As the thing stands,
either l)r. Pusey's position as a leader—and be has
never yet shone in that way—is gone for ever, or
he will have achieved such a revolution as the
ecclesiastical world has not yet seen.

HEALTH OF TIIE EMPEROR NAPOLEON•.—The
Pays publishes the following :—" Our duty is to
contradict formally the rumours propagated by
speculators under the peristyle of the Bourse re-
specting an alleged illness of the Emperor. No-
thing is more erroneous, the health of his Majesty
being all that can be desired, and never better than
at this moment."

A SECT OF MUTUAL MURDERERS,—A St. Peters-
burg letter, published in the Union, says that an
extraordinary incident has taken place in the pro-
vince of Saratof, where the entire inhabitants of
the village belonging to a sect which holds that all
is corrupted in this world undertook to mutually
kill each other. Ignatius immolated the family of
Moses, and the latter that of his neighbour.
Several households perished before the authorities
could interfere.
ANOTHER WOODEN NUTMEG STORY.—About 200
casks, forming part of a shipment of over a thousand
described as lard by a large mercantile house in Now York
hitherto considered respectable, has lately arrived in Lon-
don. Against the entire shipment the firm obtained the
acceptances for over £6,000, or at the rate of £;0 per ton,
from a London house of long standing. Soon after the
arrival here of the first shipment they were surveyed by a
competent person, whose opinion, after a careful inspec-
tion, was that the " lard" was valueless. The parcel was
therefore sold by public auction, and brought twenty-two
shillings per ton, a little more than the value of the casks,
and not sufficient to pay freight and charges. The Now
York house has since stopped payinent.—The Grocer.

THEQUITAGE IN TIPP.ERARY.

t?.

A. public meeting of the magistrates of Tipperary and
the surrounding district has been held in the Court-house,
Tipperary, for the purpose of taking into consideration
and discussing the melancholy events connected with the
late tragedy at Ballycohey. The first resolution proposed
and carried unanimously was one in which the conduct of
Mr. Scully, of Ballinaclough, in his tyrannical proceed-
ings against his tenantry at Ballycohey, was condemned in
the strongest and most emphatic terms by the gentlemen
present. A resolution was next passed in which thebench
expressed their warmest approval of the conduct of Con-
stable Cleary and the men under his command, for the
gallant and courageous manner in which they conducted
themselves on the day of the attack at Ballycohey.
The third was a resolution expressing regret for the
melancholy manner in which Sub-constable Morrogh
came by his death on the day of the attack, and proposing
to open a subscription list for deceased's friends. The
resolution was heartily responded to, and upwards of £l5
was subscribed on the moment. Mr. Andrews, petty
sessions clerk, was appointed treasurer. After the busi-
ness at petty sessions had been disposed of, the two
Dwyers and Timothy Heffernan, who had been in custody
on suspicion of being concerned in the attack made on Mr.
Scully, were liberated, no proof being adduced to justify
their further detention. There is consequently no person
now in custody charged with being concerned in the unfor-
tunate affair, no arrests having been effected by the police
since Thursday week.

RAILWAY SECURITIES.

The Yorkshire Post states that the North Eastern Rail-
way Company have been for some time endeavouring to
hit upon a scheme which should provide a perfect
system of intercommunication. They have secured a
plan of communication, which was fixed to a train,
and tried at the Leeds Wellington Station on Satur-
day, in the presence of several railway officials. The
scheme is very simple, almost costless, and, as far as
we can judge, nearly perfect. It is really an extension
of the present communication between the guard and
the engine-driver, by means of a cord, which at
present is passed alongside the carriages ; it is, there-
fore, apparently, the cheapest and the most easily-
worked plan that can be adopted. In every guard's
van there is now a wheel round which the cord is passed ;
the new plan is that this cord shall be passed from the
van along the ledge of the carriages upon the outside,
until it reaches the engine. When it has reached the
end of the carriage nearest the engine, there is a great
declension, owing to the engine being much lower than the
carriage, but this is obviated by an upright rod being fixed
upon the former, to which the cord is passed, and thence
it is fastened to the steam whistle. The communication
is then complete, for when the guard pulls the cord it
turns on a steam pipe, and when the driver does so it
rings, by a very simple contrivance, a bell in the van,
whose noise does not cease for several minutes, so
that the contingency of the guard being drowsy
or engaged is provided for. If the cord, upon being touched
at either end, arouses the attention of the man at the
other, it follows that when it is touched between the
extremes it will arouse the attention of the driver and the
guard at once, and thus the communication with the
passenger is established. If anything occurs causing a
passenger to desire to stop the train and call the atten-
tion of the guard, all he has to do is to stretch his hand
out of the window, and pull the string above the door,
and his object is effected at once. All that is then re-
quired is for the guard to be able to know immediate]
who it is that requires his aid, and this is effected by a
very ingenious piece of mechanism, by which, upon the
string being pulled in any carriage, an indicator springs
out and remains extended until put back with a key,
which of course only an official can have. This con-
trivance effects a double purpose ; not only does it tell
the guard where he is required if he really is needed,
but it acquaints him with the carriage by the occupants
of which he has been called, in case anyone should be
so imprudent and so reprehensible as to stop the train
without cause, and so would lead to the punishment of
the offending persons.

The Mayor of Norwich, at a meeting last week,
stated that a friend of his went into a barber's shop, and
that worthy tradesman said, " I don't think much of tiles
British Association ; nine out of ten don't shave at all,
and the others shave themselves."

A LEEDS PRIZE FIGHT STOPPED. A prize
fight has been prevented through the timely appearance of
the police. Upwards of a thousand persons had congre-
gated near to Bowling, in the borough of Bradford, for the
purpose of witnessing a combat between Patsy G illan and
George Scholey, alias Niggar, both of Leeds, for £lO a-side.
After considerable manorivering, • Mr. Superintendent
Pollard and Detective Murray, of the West Biding Con-
stabuliry, made their appearance as the pugilists were
preparing to commence their melee, when they at once de-
camped. The officers took possession of the ropes, which
are now at the Leeds West Riding Police-office, and the
fight did not take place.

THE KING'S OAK AT BEDDINGTON PARK.—
This noble oak is supposed to be 1,000 years old, and is one
of the finest specimens ever seen ; the measurement of the
butt is 27 ft., the circumference round the middle 20 ft.,
and it is now 27 ft. high, having been broken in felling it.
On its removal from Beddington to Croydon it required
the services of twelve men, with more than the usual
apparatus, to place it on the timber-carriage, and nine
good horses, which drew it through the streets of Croydon,
to the surprise and delight of the inhabitants. This is the
tree that is generally called Queen Elizabeth's oak, from
the fact that when her Majesty visited the mansion close
to which it grew in Beddington Park, it was her favourite
resort, and beneath its ample boughs, shaded alike from
the sun and from observation, she passed much time with
her courtiers and her favourites. It has been purchased
by Mr. Holdsworth, timber merchant, Ilandcroft-road,
Croy don. Surrey Standard.

PATENTS.—In the year 1867 2,284 patents were
passed, and 2, 253 specifications were filed. 2,528 applica-
tions for letters patent lapsed or were forfeited by neglect
to proceed for patents within the six months of protection;
and 31 patents became void through neglect to file speci-
fications. Of the patents upon which specifications are
filed about 70 per cent. become void at the end of the third
year by non-payment of the £5O stamp duty ; and at the
end of the seventh year, bynon-payment of the further £lOO
stamp duty, the number void is raised to 90 per cent., leaving
only one-tenth of the original number in force. The fees
received in the year 1867 (by stamps) amounted to
£112,843. The fees paid to the Attorney-General and
Solicitor-General and their clerks amounted to £11,115;
and the salaries and expenses of the office, compensation,
annuities, printing, and other expenditure, with the pay-
ment of the revenue stamp duty of £20,820, left a surplus
income for the year of £42,840. The commissioners—the
Lord Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, Attorney-General,
and Solicitor-General—renew their representation of the
need of a suitable building for the Patent Office.
THE NEW LAW ON IMPROVED DWELLINGS FOR
THE WORKING CLASSES.—The last Act of Parliament
passed in the late session was an important measure. Its
object was to provide better dwellings for artisans and
labourers by improving or taking down places occupied
by working men and their families which in the preamble
were described as "unfit forhuman habitation." Numerous
public improvements are being effected ; and in the
neighbourhood where they are being executed wretched
homes for the working men present themselves. Premises)
can now be represented by four or more householders,
and officers of health are to report, and, when
required, the owners are to improve the dwellings, or to
demolish the same. When?, expenses are incurred a
charge is to be given on the property, in the shape of a
mortgage and an annual sum to be paid. Where a local
authority executes the works, money may be borrowed of
the Public Loan Commissioners and others, and a
" charging order" made on the property. The text of the
new law is to make provision for taking down or improv-
ing dwellings occupied by working men and their families
which are unfit for human habitation, and for the building
and maintaining of better dwellings. In forty-one sec-
tions and several schedules the text is worked out.

MASS MEETING OF COLLIERS.—On Monday the
annual gathering of the South Yorkshire colliers took
place at Whitely-wood Hall, the seat of Mr. S. Plimsoll;
about four miles from Barnsley, when from 9,000 t:
10,000 persons were present. From an early hour in the
morning the town of Barnsley was alive with music as the
various lodges arrived with their bands and their hand-
some flags and banners. A procession was formed, and,
with upwards of twenty bands of music, marched to
Whitely-wood Park. On arriving there the chair
was taken by Mr. Plimsoll, and several interesting
addresses were delivered by gentlemen from a distance,
with reference to trades unions, co-operative associations,
&c. As showing the benefits given by the Miners' Asso-
ciation, it was stated that during the past year it had
paid as follows :—To members injured in mines, £1,709
12s. 7d. ; to sick members, £1,477 15s. ; allowance to
widows and orphans, £2,520 18s. ; paid to the Gresley
miners in Derbyshire (on strike), £3,538 10s. ; loans to
other trades, £740 ; paid to men locked out, £683 ; to
men on strike, £135 14s. 9d. ; weighmen's wages,
£2,548 135., &c. The total payments for the year had
been £17,810 16s. sd. ; whilst the funds in hand
amounted to £8,394 is. sd. After the passing of the
usual votes of thanks, the company walked about the
vrouadc
