REMARKP,

Pressure has begun to increase pretty briskly in the W. of Ireland,
the change at Valencia having been three-tenths of an inch since last
night. At eastern stations the decrease noticed yesterday has con-
tinued. %Readings in the north are very low, but an increase has set
in at Nairn. In France the pressure is not much changed, and the
reading at Rochefort is nearly nine-tenths higher than that at Nairn.
Temperature continues nearly unchanged. The S.W. gales reported
yesterday continued to blow during the day in Ireland and the two
Channels, but have now subsided, except at Cape Clear and Holy-
head. At Aberdeen the wind was S.S.E. The wind has veered, and
is now strong, except on the E. coast, where it is moderate from S.W.
Thunder and lightning are reported to have continued during the
night in the S.W. Rain has fallen on all coasts, and hail at
Penzance. The sea is going down on the W. coast. Weather looks
better.

Fir William Payne-Gal:w)y, Bart., M.P. for
Thirsk, intends, it is said, in the tr suing session of Parlia-
ment, to introduce a bill for the establishment of County
Financial Boards, to be composed of one-half-ratepayers'
and occ-half magistrates' representatives.

A flooreloth factory at Pathhead, belonging to
Messrs. Shepherd and Beveridge, was burned down on

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The number of English borough members petit
tioned against turns out to be much larger than
was expected. There are no fewer than fifty-four.
The county petitions have still to be presented.
These, of course, are never so numerous
as those for boroughs ; but the total number
of petitions is not to fall short of seventy,
which is at least up to the average, and we believe is
beyond it. There are now three members of the
Government petitioned against—Mr. Goschen, Presi-
dent of the Poor-law Board ; Mr. Forster, Vice-
President of the Council ; and Mr. Moncreiff, Lord
Advocate. The election of the last Minister is
objected to on the ground that a committee was
formed on his behalf for the payment of
electors' registration fees. It is also urged
that even if he be duly elected he ought to be
re-elected, because, though he was nominated Lord-
Advocate before his election was completed, he could
not accept the office until afterwards, inasmuch as
it was not vacant until Mr. Gordon had resigned it.
The point is a very nice one, and it is fortunate that
it will be tried by a judge instead of by an election
committee.

TILE ARCHDEACONEY OF WESTMINSTER.

We gather from the John Bull that the Arch:
deaconry of Westminster, which will be vacated by
the promotion of Dr. Wordsworth to the bishopric _
of Lincoln, will probably be conferred upon the Rev. ,
John Jennings, canon of Westminster. The rev.'
gentleman is now rector of St. John the Evangelist, -
Westminster, a church whose architectural peculiar"-
ties have earned for it the name of "the elephant on
its back." The living is worth 2355 with
house. Besides this, his canonry in the
Abbey. is worth 21,200, with a residence, '
He is rural dean and domestic chaplain to the
Marquis of Downshire. Beyond this we are not
aware that the reverend gentleman is remarkable
for any high qualifications for the performance of
archidiaconal functions. There is now no emolu-
ment attached to the office of Archdeacon of West-
minster.

REQUIREMENTS EXTRAORDINARY.

A contemporary thus comments on an advertisemen
which has appeared in a clerical paper:—" North Devon
is one of the most delightful portions of the United King-
dom : the scenery is charming, the soil fertile, the climate
mild, and the people have a frank and genial manner,
than which nothing can be more pleasing. Still, we
do not know a spot on the earth's surface which
can pretend to be so self-sufficing as that its people
need no intercourse with the rest of mankind.
There is one gentleman, however, there, a clergy-
man, who is of that opinion, judging from the following
advertisement in the Ecclesiastical Gazette Wanted, in
the spring, a curate in full orders, of moderate views, for
a village near Barnstaple, North Devon. As the popula-
tion is considerable, he will be expected to devote him-
self entirely to the parish, and to any friendships he may
form there ; therefore curates with friends at a distance, to
visit and to be visited by, need not apply. Address,
S.A.P., Post Office, Barnstaple, North Devon.' No doubt
this good clergyman speaks from experience. He has
found the limited society of his village sufficient for all
his own requirements. Still he must remember that he
is the vicar, and that in the matter of local friendships
the new curate will have to take his leavings, and it is
rather hard to lay down the strict condition —' No
followers allowed.' There may be some curates who would
like to live in a little China, safely guarded from
intercourse with outer barbarians,' but most of
the class would like to keep up their old acquaintances.
If the conditions laid down in this advertisement are per-
manent, and any clergyman who takes the curacy is to
abandon his friends, we would suggest that the vicar should
select and rear and train his curates from the youth of the
parish. As 'the population is considerable,' there should
not be much difficulty in doing this."

ORANGEISM.

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have met
at Dublin to consider the present crisis. At the
appointment of a Roman Catholic Chancellor the
members, as might have been expected, were much
moved, and in some resolutions they find that the
present Government will rule Ireland through the
intervention of the Church of Rome, and will make
any concession Cardinal Cullen may demand. In fact,
the late appointment virtually unites in one the judi-
cial and the spiritual functions of the Papacy. The Lodge
resolves: " That in the event of our beloved monarch
being Placed in the trvinz and difficult position of

The dull, heavy, ignorant, good-hearted farmer is
likely ere long to become a being of the past. He
will not long derive his inspiration merely from the
"Farmers' Inn." Other debating chambers, better
and more conducive to intellectual development, are
being established rapidly throughout the country.
Chambers of agriculture are replacing the great tap-
room. It is stated that in the past twelve months
these landlords' and farmers' institutions have
been nearly trebled, and at the present
moment they muster nearly 16,000 members.
And every organisation must have its news-
paper. With the beginning of 1868 a monthly
journal, the Chamber of _Agriculture, was issued, with
the object of chronicling the proceedings of the
various chambers ; but interesting matter has so
much accumulated, that a fuller and more frequent
record of proceedings is demanded. Accordingly,
with 1869 that journal becomes a weekly newspaper,
and is issued as the accredited organ of the Chambers
of Agriculture. This looks well.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN

AGRICULTURE.

The Warwickshire Chamber of Agriculture has
been consulted on the question of the employment of
women and children in agriculture. It came to
the following conclusions:—That no girls be em-
ployed under eleven years of age, except for a short
time in the spring and winter. That employe' s
would not be put to any inconvenience if
they employed no boys under ten years of age. That
as a general rule none except wives of labourers wero
employed in field-work, but it was necessary to
employ women in the spring in picking stones and
weeding of corn, and in hay and corn harvest, and
in cleaning roots. Their hours of labour are from
eight till five, and their health very good. Boys were
often sent out too young in charge of horses, but the
employersof labour suffered more from it than the boys
themselves. With regard to education, the Chamber
presses the necessity of requiring a certificate of profi-
ciency in addition to that of school attendance.
Night schools are, in thinly populated parishes, diffi-
cult to maintain. Women employed in field labour
are usually the best disciplined and more tidy in their
own homes.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

DISEASED MEAT.

Mr. John Simpkins, a gentleman farmer owning
nearly three thousand acres of land at Stanton St.
Bernard, Wiltshire, has been summoned at the
Guildhall for sending the carcases of ten sheep to
the London market, for sale as human food, the
same being diseased, unsound, unwholesome, and
unfit for the food of man. The defendant, by
advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. The evidence
shewed that at the request of Mr. Simpkins the meat
had been dressed by a local butcher and sent up to
town, with a note directing the salesman to do the
best he could with it. He was informed that
the carcases would do for cats' or dogs' meat,
The salesman had nothing to do with the cats' meat
business, and so he called in the inspector, who seized
the meat. It was also shown that the carcases had
been carefully dressed and prepared for the market.
The defendant pleaded that he did it in ignorance.
Mr. Alderman Causton said there was no excuse for
him, and fined him £2OO, or three months in default.
The magistrate added, that if it were not for the great
age of the defendant he would have sent him
to prison without the option of a fine. There will
be some people, wanting in the bump of reverence,
who will ask whether Mr. Simpliins's great posses-
sions had not as much to do with this as his great
age. The £2OO would probably be a trifle to him,
and it may be that he has profited by this wretched
trade to a considerably greater amount. Two or
three little butchers and farmers have been sent to
prison for like offences. The spectacle of the owner
of 3,000 acres serving a short time might Lave had
an extremely salutary effect upon his brother knaves.

THE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY AND ITS STAMP.

The Goldsmiths'Company is one of the very few of
the City of London Corporations which has anything
to do with its money beyond filing its members.
While the other companies have in one way or
another lost their " functions," the Goldsmiths still
have to stamp the gold brought by citizens and others
to " the Hall." But " the trade " is by no means
satisfied with the way in which the work is clone.
There have for some time been complaints of an
antiquated system of marking, which have now found
vent in the Times. It is alleged that the mark is no
security, that it is so clumsy as to be easily imitated,
and that the machinery is so rude that the goods
are often damaged in the process of stamping.
The company itself admits that frauds are often
practised. Hollow rings after stamping are
tilled up With baser metal, chains are manipulated,
and poor metal is often sold as good. "A London
Goldsmith," who appears to be very indignant,
suggests that the whole thing be taken from the
City Company, and put into the hands of a Govern-
ment office with good organisation and machinery.
He further proposes that inferior metal should not
be stamped. It would certainly be a good thing if
we could have some system by which a buyer of
jewellery should see for himself beyond doubt the
value of an article, and not be compelled to trust to
the dealer's honesty.

I YIPERIAL PARLIAMENT

TIIIS DAY.

THE QUEEN'►] SPEECH.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
We have it further in command from her
Majesty to acquaint you that since the time
when her Majesty deemed it right to call you
together for the consideration of many grave
and important matters, several vacancies have
occurred in the House of Commons, owing to the
acceptance of office from the Crown by members of
that house. It is, therefore, her Majesty's pleasure
that an opportunity may now be given to issue
writs for supplying the vacancies so occasioned ;
and that after a suitable recess you may proceed to
the consideration of such matters as will then be
laid before you.

THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES.

The Incumbent of the Holy Trinity, Bessborough
Gardens, Westminster, gives some statistics of over-
crowding in that city. It seems that the reverend
gentleman makes it his business to look after the
poor and their habits, and he finds that many of
them require to have the cravings of the body satis-
fied before his visits can be turned to any higher
purpose. In Ponsonby-place, which Mr. Reyner
Cosens says is one of the most respectable streets,
he finds twenty-eight families in five houses, making
a total of 128 persons. He could shew more than
this in smaller houses and lower streets. Mr. Cosens
describes his work, and states that he keeps open at
his own cost, with the assistance of a grant from the
Westminster Spiritual Aid Fund of £2O, a school for
the attendance of some 140 ragged children. The
schools break one's back, he adds, but are necessary.
The rev. gentleman makes a strong appeal for help
for the sick, the aged, and the poor out of work. The
lower phases of London life are so repulsive that the
sensitive man is sorely tempted to turn his face
away altogether, and to try and forget that the
fair faces of Belgravian streets hide no such foul
dens as we have described. Mr. Cosens knows the
mockery of a sleek priest and his well-dressed wife
Lreaching the kingdom of heaven to shivering
azarus without some substantial help.

THAMES.

AN EXTENSIVE B URGLART.--T WO well-known
thieves, who gave the names of John Brown and
Thomas Brown, who are not related, were brought
up on remand before Mr. Benson, on a charge of
being concerned with others in breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling-house of Mr. Louis Lavenburg,
pawnbroker and jeweller, of Broad-street, Ratcliff,
and stealing therefrom watches, gold rings, gold
ear-drops, and other property value £3OO. Both
prisoners were committed for trial.

LANDSLIP.—A. great landslip occurred on the
22d ult. at Cumberland Mills, near Portland, Maine, on the
north side of the Presumpscot River. The land sunk ex-
tends back from the river nearly half a mile in an oblong
shape, including at least 30 acres. It fell from 30ft to 50ft,
and the river was dammed up for above a furlong, over-
flowing the adjacent ground, and making for itself a new
channel. The land is light sandy loam upon blue clay,
which last had probably been softened by the long-con-
tinued wet weather until it would net sustain the weight
upon it. Largo quantities of flth were left high and dry
upon the ground. The rumbling noise and jarring of the
earth made the people foar at first that there was an earth-
quake. The sinking appears to have begun Some distance
from the river, the bed of which was pressed upward to
the level of the surrounding land.
HURDLE RACE.—Yesterday a hurdle race !for
£lOO a side, which excited much interest among the officers
of the Guards, took place in the Windsor Home-park be-
tween the Hon. Captain Needham, of the Grenadier
Guards, and Captain C. Needham, of the Ist Life Guards.
The distance staked out was 200 yards, over 20 flights of
hurdles. The race was run with the wind, in the direc-
tion of the river Thames. The Hon, Captain Needham
landed over the first hurdle while his opponent was in the
act of rising, gradually drew away, and won easily by two
hurdles. Colonel Phillips, Grenadier Guards, acted as
referee; Colour-Sergeant Crofts, 2d Battalion Coldstream
Guards, was starter, Time, 40 seconds.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The Registrar-General's weekly return reports that in
the week that ended on Saturday, January 4, 4,722 births
and 3,468 deaths were registered in London and in thir-
teen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual
rate of mortality was 28 per 1,000 persons living. The an-
nual rate of mortality last week was 27 per 1,000 in
London, 23 in Edinburgh, and 32 in Dublin, 23 in
Bristol, 30 in Birmingham, 32 in Liverpool, 40 in Man-
chester, 33 in Salford, 22 in Sheffield, 32 in Bradford, 27
in Leeds, 27 in Hull, 29 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 27
in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during
the week ending the 28th ult., when the mean temperature
was 10.6 deg. Tahrenheit lower than in the same week in
London, where the rate was 24. In London the births
of 1,190 boys and 1,128 girls, in all 2,318 children, were
registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of 10
years, 1858-67, the average number, corrected for increase
of population, is 2,187. The deaths registered in London
during the week were 1,624. It was the first week of the
year ; and the average number of deaths for that week
is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,648.
The deaths in the present return are less by 24 than the
estimated amount, but exceed the number recorded in the
preceding week by 191. The deaths from zymotic diseases
wore 300, the corrected average number being 354.
22 deaths occurred from small-pox, 55 from measles,
43 from scarlatina, 52 from whooping-coy-,h, and 40
from typhus. 157 deaths from phthisis, 232 from
bronchitis, 104 from pneumonia, and 84 from diseases of
the heart, were recorded last week. The deaths of 3 per-
sons who were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets,
of 6 children and 2 adults who were burnt, and of 12 chil-
dren and 2 adults who were suffocated, were registered.
Six persons died from intemperance.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tures. They BO perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
dered sound and useful in mastication.

The first Report of the Clerken well Explosion
Relief Fund contains much to occasion regret and
horror, and the chief thing that strikes one is the
vast amount of suffering that was occasioned
bi
the cruel deed, and that of a kind that did not ai
once attract the attention of the public. It stand;
to reason th.tt an affair of this kind was certain t(
give rise to serious evil, but still it must be con-
fessed that the amount of misery occasioned exceeds
the estimate roughly formed at first. • The labour.

of the committee have been most assiduous.

and nothing seems to have been sparec
on their part that could mitigate their
distress or relieve their painful position. During
