LITERATURE.

ANTHONY TROLLOPE'S WEEKLY SERIAL STORT""
" He Knew He was Right," now publishing by the
Messrs. Virtue and Co., still continues to exercise
its fascination over the multitude of readers who
are now wondering what will come of it all.!
Whether Trevelyan or his wife is more in the
wrong Whether that horrid mischief-making
self-sufficient old roué the colonel will come
to grief eventually by getting kicked or
being horsewhipped ! Either of which he most cer-
tainly richly deserves, if only by reason of his egre.
gious vanity, and of his heartless selfishness in the in-
dulgence of that samevanity. Priscilla, to our mind,
is the best character in the whole story and, next to
her, Aunt Stanbury of the Close in Exeter. As to
Hugh and Norah they neither of them seem as Yet
to know their own mind, and, what is more, they
don't deserve to. The mysterious confusion hinted
at in the vignette on the cover, still remains uue%"
plained, though we may conjecture the significance
of it, and fancy we can clearly enough recognise--
amrmg the leading persons in the group—He and
She, that is of course Trevelyan and his wife, the
baby whimpering on the ground, Hugh expostulat;
ing, Aunt Stanbury grimly watchful in one part of
the background, and that horrid Colonel compla-
cently observant of it all in another.

THE JUSTICESHIP OF APPEAL.

According to the Solicitors' 'Journal, Lord
Hatherley, on behalf of the new Government, has
addressed a letter to Lord Cairns, pressing him
strongly to accept the vacant Lord Justiceship of
Appeal in Chancery. In doing this, it is stated
that the new Lord Chancellor has represented to the
noble lord that such an arrangement need not in the
slightest degree interfere with Lord Cairns's pre-
sumable hostility, in the House of Lords, to the
policy of the Liberal Government. Our contem-
porary, while unable to offer the slightest conjecture
as to the answer which will be returned, thinlis that
it would be very desirable to have Lord Cairns again
upon the bench in the equity courts. In the event
of his declining to fill the office, the vacant seat
would, as we have before stated, be probably filled by
Vice-Chancellor Giffard.

OCTOBER.

West Drayton 21, 22

At a meeting of the Council and Clergy of the
London Diocesan Home, held this day (Dec. 21st) at
Willis's Rooms, the Archbishop (elect) of Canterbury was
presented with two addresses, both beautifully illuminated
on vellum, lined and covered with the richest silk, and
bound in antique Russia leather, with massive gilt clasps.
The one was lettered, "Address to the Lord Bishop of
London by the Council of the London Diocesan Home."
The other address was accompanied by a very handsome
patent A B C despatch box, in red Russia leather, orna-
mented with gold lines, massive gilt handle in centre of
top, surmounted with the monogram A. C. T. ; above
the handle the archiepiscopal mitre ; below it, in
raised Gothic letters, "Archbishop of Canterbury." The
interior is fitted with every dainty device, the instruments,
lock, hinges, being all ablaze with gold. On an orna-
mental gold plate is inscribed—" Presented to his Grace
the Archbishop of Canterbury, by tee Clergy of the Lon-
don Diocesan Home." Both the illuminating and writing
of the addresses, and the manufacture of the box, were
executed by Messrs. Jenner and Knewatub, of St. James's-
street.

THE WRECK OF THE GOSSAMER.—Another body
was recovered on Friday. At the adjourned inquest
a verdict of manslaughter was returned against the pilot,
bail being required in two sureties of £lOO each, and the,
pilot himself £l5O.

STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—The Dec-
can, screw, the latest edition made to the fleet of the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, has
made a favourable trial trip. She was built by Messrs. W
Denny and Brothers. Mr. Rood, Chief Constructor to the
Admiralty, was among those present at the trial trip of
the Deccan. Messrs. Caird and Co. have contracted to
build for the North German Lloyd two large screws of
300 ft. in length, with engines of 330-horse power. Messrs.
M`Nab and Co. have also contracted to build a screw of
1,200 tons for a Liverpool firm.

The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph asserts a com-
plete change of sentiment in Mrs-Harriett Beecher Stowe,
now lit Florida. It says —" She desires to live long
enough to write a book to correct the mistakes in Uncle
Tom's Cabin,' and show that a great blunder was made
when slavery was abolished.' Allowing the authority to
be good, the lady may really be acting under a dread of
consequences, and we prefer hearing these opinions con-
firmed when the lady is North, not South.

ELECTION PETITIONS

The withdrawal of the petition against the three
Liberal members for the City of London carries its
own condemnation with it. There can scarcely be a
doubt that the petitioners never intended to go on
with the case, the petition being presented only to
serve as an annoyance to Mr. Goschen, as was plainly
shewn by the conduct of Mr. Goldney in the House
of Commons on Tuesday last. It is stated by the
Post that the petition was lodged as a precautionary
move in case one should be sent in by Baron 11 othschild
against the election of Mr. Bell. This statement, it
must be confessed, does not agree with the facts
already made public. From the moment the poll
was declared, the Liberals never held out any threats
that they would contest the right of Mr. Bell to take
his seat. On the other hand, the Conservatives, as
soon as it was known that they had succeeded in
returning only one of their men, raised the cry that
their opponents had been guilty of unlawful
practices, and that many who had voted for the
Liberals as liverymen again polled for them as
householders. It is to be regretted that the £l,OOO
necessary to carry on the petition was not deposited;
we should then have been able to judge whether the
charges had any foundation. The Conservative
journals announce that the petition at Rye, against
Mr. Stewart Hardy, the eldest son of the ex-Home
Secretary, has fallen through.
Ireland is likely to have a large share in extra-
parliamentary work. In addition to the petitions
already mentioned, one has been presented against
the return of Mr. O'Beirne, the Liberal member for
Cashel, Mr. Munster claiming the seat. En passant,
it may be stated that only one petition has up to this
time been presented from the Principality, viz., for
Brecon.

The Price of Gold.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bill s
at 80 days' sight was on the last date about IG9I percent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the Uni:cd States.

The quotation ot gold at Paris Is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 29c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
tie. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.s-s that
gold 13 ab ut 1-10th per cent • dearer in London than in
Paris.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

A communication from M. de Lesseps, in refer-
ence to the passage of the French Government
schooner, the Leverette, through the Suez Canal
from one sea to the other, states that six vessels
belonging to the Egyptian fleet are also about to
make the transit. The writer adds :—" Thus then
the route is open and practicable for vessels of
small burden. The light flotilla which the Viceroy
s about to send to the Red Sea will complete the
experiment, and in six months ships of from 2,000
o 3,000 tons will triumphantly traverse the Isth
mus, either sailing or by steam."

DEATH OF ANOTHER M.P.

The death of another member of the new House is
announced. Sir Thomas Gresley, who went to Mr.
Mundy's, Shipley Hall, in order to celebrate the Con-
servative victory in South Derbyshire, was taken ill
a few days since, and died on Friday afternoon. The
deceased baronet was the eldest son of the late Rev. Sir
William Nigel Gresley, and was born in 1822. Ho
was educated at Rugby, was formerly a captain in
the Ist Dragoon Guards, and at one time A.D.C. to a
former Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. The victory in
South Derbyshirewaa one of the most prominent which
the Conservatives gained in the counties during the
late elections. The former members, Mr. Evans
and Mr. Colvile, sought re-election as followers of
Mr. Gladstone, and were opposed by Sir Thomas
Gresley and Mr. Smith, who advocated the mainte-
nance of Church and State. The light was a tough
one, Lut the Conservatives won, the numbers at the
close of the poll being—Gresley, 3.612; Smith, 3,680;
Colvile, 3,378 ; Evans, 3,349. It is probable that
the Liberals will endeavour to regain their lost
vround.

PLYMOUTII ELECTION.

PLrrs Dec. 21.
The Attorney-General, Sir Robert Collier, was
unanimously re-elected for Plymouth this morning.
Af, the close of the election, which took place at
the Guildhall, the proceedings were adjourned to
the Mechanics' Institute, where Sir Robert Collier
addressed the constituency at noon. After
thanking the electors generally for his re-election,
he expressed his gratification at the general
approval shown to his acceptance of office by both
parties in the borough. He said the Prime Minis-
ter was the fittest person to judge who were most
eligible to serve the country, and it was the duty
of persons so elected to serve. His new office did
not give that great amount of patronage it was be-
lieved it did, but he stated he had made full arrange-
ments for answering all the increased correspondence
he expected. Sir Robert Collier considered Mr.
Gladstone's present majority very different to pre-
vious majorities. This was for very definite objects
—the disestablishment of the Irish Church and the
support of Mr. Gladstone. The Ministry was very
strong in administrative and debating power. The
.j unior offices were filled by young risicg statesmen of
great ability. Whatever difficulties might arise in
detail in carrying out the great measure of doing
justice to Ireland, he believed they would all be
fully overcome, and they should consist of disesta-
blishment and disendowment of the Irish Church
to a large though not to the fullest extent. He
believed that this measure, however, would be the
only great measure settled this session.

lIIGUER FEMALE EDUCATION.

It may be doubted if anyone has done more harm
to the progress of female education than Miss Becker
and her friends. The idea of the women of the
future becoming " Bloomers " and " mothers of the
modern Gracchi " is so exceedingly distasteful that
any and every kind of progress is in danger of being
scouted. And yet a high-class education does not
include female suffrage, female barristers, or even
female doctors. It is not, indeed, necessary that
one should believe in the intellectual equality
of the two sexes to advocate a higher class of female
education than at present prevails. Two " men of
mark " have this week pronounced in favour of such
higher teaching. To take the " man of title " first,
the Earl of Portsmouth, speaking at a middle-class
school at North Tawton, Devonshire, complained of
the absence of schools for the education of girls of
the middle class. There were schools for boys
now being established almost daily, but girls
seemed almost forgotten. He did not see why this was
so, and hoped it would soon be altered. Canon
Girdlestone distributed the prizes at just such a
school as his lordship had wished for—the Ladies'
College, Bristol. In his speech the rev. canon
declared that in his opinion the tales which were
told as to the intellectual inequality of the sexes
were nonsense. He fully believed that women had
minds as intelligent, as strong, as those of his own
sex, and were consequently as thoroughly capable of
receiving the highest measure of education that
could be imparted. And very energetically did he
advocate that a high education should be provided
for the " fair sex.' But he was very severe upon
the notion of "women taking the places of men."
He declared it impossible and impolitic that they
should do so.

I,ATIIBIL IGNATIUS.

Mr. Lyne has been giving a lecture upon " The
Christianity of the Low Church Party." The purport
of it was that there was no essential difference
between High and Low in the Church, or even
between Roman Catholics and Dissenters : they all
held the cardinal doctrines of the Faith, the belief in
the Unity and Trinity and the Atonement, and they
all accepted the canonical books. He claimed liberty
for all in other matters. He was himself a
free-thinker outside the Scriptures and the
creeds of the Church, but he was not a free-
thinker as to the truth "once delivered to
the saints." He maintained that the objections
to the High Church practices were through misap-
prehension. He defended some of these, and was
called upon by some gentlemen present for scriptural
to meet him at a
them. He acknow-
ledged The Rev. C. P. M`Carthy challenged some of

earnest desire for Church work, cannot find some way
of drilling himself to .march with his brethren
and agree with his bishop. He certainly
cannot be called a bigoted High Churchman ;
but if he thinks the crude, half-formed theories of
his youthful mind will settle the difficulties which
have disturbed Christendom from the Apostolic) age
till now, and may continue to divide it till the
millennium, he has much, mistaken his abilities and
his mission.

31E7 ROPOL I TAN GOSSIP--Saturday.

Mr. Cardwell and Lord Northbrook are duly installed
at the War Office, and the Under Secretary is already dis-
playing that keen appetite for " returns " which distin-
guished him when he was Mr. Baring. Sir John raking-
ton and Earl Longford seem to have been so assured
of their speedy exit from office, that they did
not attempt to frame the estimates. Nevertheless, they
somehow obtained the reputation of being in an economical
mood, and it was even reported that they intended to
reduce the estimates by £2,000,000. Some persons are so
sanguine as to believe that the present Ministers will be
able to accomplish this, and the rumour at the War Office
is that the large sum above mentioned will be saved
through reducing every regiment by one company, and
by getting rid of the honorary colonels. But I need
hardly say that it takes more than a few months to effect
such a prodigious reduction in one department. If
Mr. Cardwell and his confreres see their way to saving
a fourth part of the amount by next February, they will
have done well.

I believe that the persistent rumours respecting Bishop
Jackson's refusal of the see of London are untrue—l will
not say unfounded, for at one time the bishop did hesitate.
But I am assured that he hesitates no longer, and
already a day has been fixed for the Lincolnshire clergy to
present an address to their departing diocesan.
It is fully expected that Lord Shaftesbury will make
another attempt next session to legislate against Ritual.
If the "advanced" clergy should make any unusual
demonstrations at Christmas, as is not unlikely, his lord-
ship's intention will be strengthenal. Such a measure as
he would introduce would cause a good deal of confusion
of parties. Low Church Liberals, like Mr. ICinnaird, and
Low Church Conservatives, like Mr. Newdegate, would be
found in the same lobby. The Conservative party would
be divided on the question, and men like Mr. Hardy and
Mr. Mowbray would hardly vote for such a bill as is con-
templated. The Liberals, too, would be divided, because,
while many of them have pledged themselves to legisla-
tion, others have a great dislike to anything which looks
like an infringement of religious liberty. A moderate
measure, such as is really needed to prevent every
man from doing that which is right in his own eyes,

Efficacy.—Daily experience confirms the testimony borne
to the benefits effected by Holloway's remedies in all de-
scriptions of disease which can assail mankind, either at
home or abroad. In cases of glandular and other com-
plaints arising from hereditary taints, the use of these
healing and purifying remedies is always followed by the
most gratifying results. The ointment must be well
rubbed upon the skin as near as possible to the aching or
ailing part; and the pills should be taken every night in
alternative rather than in purgative doses. These excel-
lent medicaments will then act in unison, quell the local
mischief, re-establish purity and order through the system,

SPAIN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Times says that the
air has been temporarily cleared by the welcome thunder-
storm at Cadiz. Great as the havoc has been, it is far less
than rumour reported it. Not only will the struggle leave
no rancorous feelings behind, but it will remove a great
deal of that antipathy which, to a great extent, arose
from misconception. Already the most advanced Re-
publicans—those who boasted complicity and claimed
" solidarity " with the Cadiz insurgents—admit that the
latter were wrong, under any provocation, to seek for a
redress of their wrongs in an appeal to arms, when mere
pacific agitation would have obtained their object. The
Government party, on the other hand, never tire of bestow-
ing praises on the heroism and resolution of the popu-
lar combatants. There is no longer one word said
about " released convicts or galley-slaves," about " big
bags of French gold pieces," about the appearance of
" strange faces whom nobody knows." But the danger is by
no means over. The perilous doctrine of popular
sovereignty daily gains ground. The cry is everywhere,
" Bread and muskets for the people." The loan has been
a signal failure. Not ono fourth of the £20,000,000 spoken
of has been raised, and the portion that has is due to the
great pressure put upon the patriotism of the Spanish
people.
Accounts of the late insurrection in Cadiz chew that
there was some very hard fighting. It was perilous work
to pass from one street to another, and many non-
combatants fell under the shower of cannon-balls and
bullets. It is said that 350 troops were killed and
wounded. The necessaries of life began to run short
within the city. Women as well as men fought at the
barricades, which were erected in every Dart of the city.

TIIE RE-ELECTION OF MINISTERS.

The opinion expressed by many Liberal journals
that the Act of Anne requiring Ministers to seek
re-election should be dispensed with, is combated by
a legal journal of high standing. Our contemporary
says it may be granted that the utility of the Act is
not often seen in practice, but considers that the value
a law is not to be measured by the likelihood of its
being transgressed. It is a matter of constitutional
importance that we should be governed by the statesmen
of our choice, although, perhaps, some equivalent to
the present law might be enacted which would pre-
serve its advantages while avoiding its inconve-
niences. For example, re-election within a certain
limited time after an original election might be
rendered unnecessary. The period between the issue
of the writ and the day of election might be reduced,
and the ceremony of nomination dispensed with.
The Solicitors' Journal thinks that changes such as
these would mitigate the annoyance to the candidate
and loss of time to the public, and at the same time
would preserve to us that benefit of the law, not
indeed needed at the present time, but of which we
may at some future time require the protection.

DARING ROBBERY ON A RAILWAY.

A robbery, such as we have not often to report,
has taken place. The following are the facts:—
On Friday night, a little before twelve o'clock, it
was stated to the station master at the New-street

station, Birmingham, that the guard's van had been
entered at Edgbaston, the guard assaulted, and a box con-
taining money stolen therefrom. On further inquiry it
was ascertained that directly after the train had left
Edgbaston station for Birmingham, where the tickets of
the passengers are collected, a man jumped into the van
and threw a quantity of creosote or naphtha into the eyes
of the guard, who was engaged in making an entry in his
book. When the poor fellow had somewhat recovered
from the shock the train was entering the New-street
station, and he then discovered that a box containing
money, and on which he had placed his lamp, was
missing. Having reported these facts to the station.
master, the poor fellow, who could scarcely see, was
sent to Mr. Oliver Pemberton, surgeon, and an engine
despatched down the line with the hope of discovering the
desperado. Information was also given to the Birming-
nam police. It so happened that upon the guard's van'
there was found the lid of a tin case, having upon it the
initials "T. B." The station-master at Birmingham
inquired in the neighbourhood of the Edgbaston station
if there was anybody thereabouts whose name answered
to the initials ; a man named Thomas Baggaley, a breaks-
man of ballast-trains in the company's service, was im-
mediately mentioned. A detective and one or two others
went to his house close by ; seeing a light they entered,
and some circumstances exciting suspicion, a search was
made, and a sum of twenty-seven sovereigns found
upstairs. Baggaley was taken into custody, and brought
up before the magistrates at Birmingham on Saturday
morning. He was remanded until Thursday next. The
prisoner has been fourteen years in the company's service,
and of course was well aware of the exact spot where this
box, containing the receipts of the day from some small
stations, was deposited. • Some forty pounds are still miss-
ing, and it is expected that Baggaley has an accomplice.
The spectacles which the guard wore in some measure
saves his eyes from the consequences of this dastardly
outrage. It may be added that various discoveries were
made in the course of Saturday, all of them tending to
increase the suspicion attaching to the prisoner. A portion
of a bag which contained the money in the box was picked
up on the way from the train to Baggaley's house ; and it
s said that the " lid" left on Cie guard's van fits a can
round on the prisoner's premises.
