We give fuller particulars of this report, the leading
features of which have already been announced. The
subjects the commissioners were to inquire into are first
stated, and a relation of their proceedings follows :
"In order to obtain accurate information, we, early
in November, issued forms of queries to the arch-
bishops and bishops of the Church in Ireland,
to the corporations aggregate, to the deans, dig.
nitaries, and other officers of the cathedrals, as
to the circumstances, revenues, &c., of their clerical
districts ; and to the incumbents of the several
benefices, as to the munber of members of the Established
Church, revenues, area, and general circumstances of
their parishes or districts. Upon receiving the returns
(nearly 2,000 in number) we proceeded to have the con-
tents arranged in the form of a tabular digest. Forms of
inquiries were also directed to the Board of Ecclesiastical
Commissioners to obtain full and accurate returns of the
lands and other property which under the Church Tern.
poralities Acts (Ireland) had become vested in them,
and the mode and purposes in and for wh'c'a these
revenues were applied. With respect, however, to the
system adopted by this board, we thought it advisable
that, in addition to written inquiries, a personal examie
nation and inspection should be made ; and accordingly
one of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and other
witnesses were examined, and the books of account
and other records inspected at the office in Dublin
by some members of our commission. Having
obtained the requisite information, we directed our
attention to that portion of the duties imposed upon
us by the terms of your Majesty's commis..
sion, which requires us to report ' whether' in our
judgment `alterations or improvements should be made in
the management, administration, and distribution of the
revenues and property' belonging either to ecclesiastical
persons and corporations, or vested in the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners. In the discharge of then duties we
have felt bound to proceed without reference to the reso-
lutions which have been adopted by the House of Com,
more with respect to the Church in Ireland after the date
of your Majesty's commission. We now submit to your
Majesty our suggestions with a view to the improve.
meat of its internal arrangements, and the administration.
and management of its property. The Irish branch of the
United Church of England and Ireland consists of two
archbishops, ten bishops, thirty corporations o: deans &Ist
chapters, twelve minor corporations or quasi-corporate
bodies connected with cathedrals, thirty-two deans,
thirty-three archdeacons, 1,509 beneficed incumbents
(including within this term perpetual curates), and more
than 500 stipendiary curates. The number of persons
returned by the census of 1861 as belonging to its
communion was £693,357. Its annual net revenues
amount to about £581,000, of which about £364,000 arise
from tithe rentcharge, about £204,000 from the rents
received from lands, and the residue from Government
Stock or other sources. Of these revenues a con.=
siderable portion, about £113,000 a year, is adminis-
tered for Church purposes by the central board
of Ecclesiastical Commissioners. About £19,000 a
year belongs to the capitnlar bodies, and is applied
by them for the maintenance of the cathedral fabrics
and services. The residue supplies the endowment
of the bishops, dignitaries, and beneficed clergy. The
property of the Church has been derived from various
sources before and since the Reformation. With respect
to the property acquired after the Reformation from royal
or parliamentary grants, and property that since the same
period has been the gift of private individuals, we have
inserted in the appendix to this report such particulars as
appear ;n the Patent Rolls in Chancery, or in the diocesan.
registries."

The commissioners state tLat "there are in Ireland
1,074 benefices the net income of which is under £3OO a
year. About 356 of these arc above £2OO a year, about
421 of the remainder above £lOO a year, and about 297
under £lOO a year. Amongst these are many with large
Church populations—some in important towns and others
so circumstanced that a supplementary provision for
suitable Church ministration is much needed. Wit%

a view to provide funds for the augmentation
of such benefices we have examined into the
existing distribution of property, and considered
how far additional provision may be made for them.
Previous to the Act 3 and 4 William IV., c. 37, there
were in Ireland four archbishoprics and eighteen bishop.
rics. By this Act the sees were consolidated, and th)
number reduced to two archbishoprics and ten bishoprics.
There are now twelve united dioceses. The net annual
revenues of the twelve prelates amount to about £53,001
After a full consideration of the circumstances of these
several united dioceses, we are of opinion that a furt%er
consolidation of dioceses, and with one exception (Cork)
and iction of the incomes of the bishops, may take place.
The dioceses which we think may be consolidated with

others are (1) Meath ; (2) the united diocese of Killaloe,
Kilfenora, Clonfert, and Kilmacduagh; (3) the united
diocese of Cashel, Eiuly, Waterford, and Lismore ; (4)
the united diocese of Kiltnore, Elphin, and Ardagh. The
consolidation may be effected as follows :--Meath to be
united to Dublin; Killaloe and Kilfenora, to Limerick;
Clonfcrt and Kilmacduagh to Tuam ; Cashel and Dimly
to Limerick ; Waterford and Lismore to Ossory; KU-
more to Armagh, and Elphin and Ardagli b Team. Ifs
this arrangement be carried out, we recommend that the
diocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe be transferred from the
see of Limerick to that of Cork. A majority of the corn.
missioners are of opinion that one archbishop of the
Irish branch of the Church ought to be sufficient ; that
the archbishopric to be retained should be Armagh, and
that the Archbishopric of Dublin should be reduced to
a bishopric, with precedence over every other bishopric.
The other commissioners think this alteration is not re.
quired. Taking into account the extent of superin.'
tendence which, in consequence of this reduction of the
episcopate, must devolve upon the prelates, the various
claims upon their bounty, and the social position con-
ceded to the office, and having regard to the scale of judi.
cial incomes in Ireland, we are opinion that there
s'iould be provided for the primatial see of Armagh an
income of £6,000 a year ; for Dublin, if retained as an
archbishopric, £5,000 a year, and if reduced to a bishopric,
£4,500 a year ; and for every other bishopric an income of
£3,000 a year ; with an additional allowance of £5OO a year
for such of the bishops as in each year attend Parliament.
These incomes and allowances should be free from any
tax or deduction for ecclesiastical purposes." The
commissioners recommend that, with the exception of
eight, all existing corporations of deans and chapters be
dissolved, and the deaneries and other dignities connected
with them suppressed. " The eight cathedrals which in
our opinion should be preserved as such are those of
Armagh, Down, Derry, Tuam, Kilkenny, Limerick,
Cork, and St. Patrick's, Dublin, being all, except
Down, situate in the cities in which the bishops of the
sees which we recommend to be retained, have their
residences." Several changes of less importance in the
capitular bodies are also suggested. With a view to a
rearrangement of benefices, it is proposed that Ecclesiasti.
cal Commissioners shall have extended powers to suppress
or unite benefices. All beneficite not having a Protestant
population of forty to be abolished. The estates of all
capitular bodies and of the bishoprics abolished are to be
vested in Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and the surplus of all
property vested in them to be applicable at their discretion
to augmentation of benefices. The Ecclesiastical Com.
mission is to be modified by the introduction of three un.
paid laymen and two paid commissioners, one appointed
by the Crown, the other by the Primate. The management
of all lands is to be taken out of the hands of ecclesias-
tical persons and placed in those of the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners. Ecclesiastical persons not to be able
to encumber official incomes by deeds. No further recom•
mendations are made as to the distribution of incomes or
of revenues. Tables accompany the report, giving full
statistical information. The commissioners expressly state
that they have conducted their inquiry, and now report,
on the assumption that the Irish Church will continue by
law established and endowed.
The date is 27th July, 1868, and the names attached
are—Meath (chairman), Stanhope, De Vesci, Joseph
Napier, Robert Alexander Shafto Adair (except as to sec.
16), John T. Ball, Evelyn Philip Shirley, George Clive,
Edward Howes, J. F. Elrington (secretary).

The Bishop of Manchester has laid the foun-
dation stone of a new dispensary for sick children in
Gartside-street. Amongst those present were Mr. Jacob
Bright, M.P., Mr. B. Whitworth, M.P., and other gentlemen
well known in Manchester. _ _

We are informed that Lieutenant-General Charles
Craufurd Hay, who was formerly commandant of the
School of Musketry at Hythe, and was in Friday's Git::ct'e
transferred from the colonelcy of the 58th Foot to the
93rd, is to be the new commander-in-chief at the Cape of
Good Hope. . .

The Bishop of Norwich leas presented £l,OOO to
a fund which is being raised for the erection of a nni
church in the extensive and populous suburb of Higham,
Norwich. Nine years since another church was erected
in the same suburb, and the bishop then contributed £504
to the establishment fund.

Various causes may be assigned for the outbreak,
but no doubt the extreme step taken a little time
ago of banishing the Duke and Duchess of Morr-
PENSIER from Spain has had a great deal to do with
precipitating matters, if it has not wholly given
them the disastrous turn they had taken for the reign-
ing Princes. The meeting of the Emperor NAPO-
LEON and the QUEEN ISABELLA, from which so
much has been expected in some quarters, does not
seem to have been productive of anything but evil.
It was not so much the affair itself as the surmises
to which it gave rise that heralded the evil, for
there is no denying that the idea of a closer alliance
with France is not popular in Spain, and in all
directions the most unpleasant suggestions were
made in reference to it. At any rate,
whether by ill deeds and unwise ma-
nagement, the QUEEN and her advisers have
come to grief, curiosity will be excited to see
what new order of things will obtain favour in
Spain. If the Royal party have been building their
hope on the support of the French EMPEROR they
will only be preparing themselves fur fresh mortifi-
cation and discomfiture. It is one thing to ex-
change unmeaning courtesies, and another to im-
plicate oneself in a most unpopular affair, and draw
down most unpleasant consequences upon one's
head ; and the world-wide reputation cf the Em-
peror NAPOLEON for caution needs no assurance to
the contrary to prevent the slightest credence being
attached to the reports which would fain assure us
that French influence, in arms or diplomacy, is to
prop up the failing power of Spanish royalty.

Since the above remarks were penned the Moni-
teur of this day officially contradicts the interview
between the Emperor NAPOLEON and the Queen of
SPAIN.

Working men have no reason to complain that
their affairs are not regarded with sufficient interest
or respect. The proceedings of the International
Congress at Brussels have attracted a good deal of
attention, and public journalists have given a good
share of their space and time to discussing the ques-
tions raised by its members. To do them justice
they have displayed in their debates and their essays
a high degree of intelligence and education, and
have not shown themselves to be more preju-
diced or more obstinately wedded to their own
of inions than philosophers of higher stand-
ing. If they were too ambitious in their
pretensions, too extreme iu their demands, and too
unreasonable in their expectations, it is only what
might be expected from a body of reformers who
have never been able to submit their theories to the
test of practice. At first sight it appears so easy
to net the world to rights that a clever schoolboy's
essay ou Government will dispose of all the difficul-
ties that perplex a Prime Minister of fifty years
experience, but a little additional knowledge of the
world and its ways soon serves to dishearten the
severe and uncompromising reformer. The working
men who have been so quietly disposing of war and
defining the duties of capital and the privileges of
labour at Brussels arc very much in the position
of the young enthusiastic student who with a few
strokes of his pen produces a political Utopian.
Unluckily the men and women who must inhabit
this Utopia are very self-willed puppets, and will
not move to order. We had better not break up our
ironclads or discharge our soldiers on the strength
of the proceedings at Brussels until we have a
little more evidence that the world at large is
ready to accept and obey the dictum of our new
philosophers.

If we have a little patience we may perhaps find
some of our social reformers modifying their views
with time. It was at one period a favourite dream
of those who classed under the manifest inequalities
of fortune that all land and property should be
equally divided among men. The Brussels Confer-
ence have got beyond this. Its members are suffi-
ciently men of the world to perceive that such
a system of subdivision would end in the
destruction of national wealth and civi-
lization, and would send us back to the
days of primitive life " when every rood of ground
maintained its man," with the awkward difference
that there are now, thanks to the increase of popu-
lation, mora men than roods of ground, and con-
sequently a good many unlucky individuals would
be left without maintenance. Even looking no
further than the cultivation of the soil,, the system
of small proprietor Ships is opposed to the general
good. According to the doctrine that he who makes
two blades of grass grow where one grew before is
a public benefactor, the great capitalist does more
service in his generation than a body of small
proprietors holding the same extent of land.
Our friends at Brussels are not slow to perceive
this. "The small farmers' position in modern
society," said one of the speakers, " is as incom-
patible with the progress of production in agricul-
ture as that of the little handicraft producer in in-
dustry." The advance of scientific knowledge, as
applied to agriculture, has brought new machinery,
new appliances forward, and rendered it impossible
for the small proprietor to keep pace with the man
who can command the newest and most costly im-
provements. Evidence that the plan of subdivision
is unsatisfactory in its results is not wanting.
"Peasant proprietorship," it was remarked
at the Congress, " as it exists on the Con-
tinent, does anything but lead to individual
liberty and happiness." In the same way the pos-
session of centralised capital is necessary for the
conduct of those large manufacturing and commer-
cial operations which occupy and reward the indus-
try of the populations at large. The working men
are forced to acknowledge this, but they try to
evade the difficulty by suggesting that co-operative
societies should take the place of large capital!s's
But supposing, for a moment, that it were possible
to realize such a vision, what guarantee have we
that matters would be more equitably adjusted ?
The experience of joint-stock associations in
the higher clisses does not give us much
ground for anticipating the removal of all our
troubles by a more wholesale adoption of the prin-
ciple. Some must be the leaders, the managers,
the responsible parties, and the outer circle will
infallibly lay the blame of every misfortune or mis-
adventure on their shoulders. It is not very easy

Every youth is to be wiser than the men who
have preceded him, but the men were youths once
and had the same dreams. If society were to be
resolved into its primitive elements as the Brussels
reformers seem to wish, it would go over the same
ground again. Australia and Tasmania and America
all started unfettered by old rules and systems, and
where aro they now ? Following in the steps of
older countries, and fighting the same problems.
If the working men want to try co-operation in
land or manufactures, there is nothing to prevent
them from trying it. They have only to save their
money—to unite their subscriptions as they do for
their Trades' Unions, and they can make the expe-
riment. Mr. STUART MILL has written a letter to
the Weekly News advocating the principle of work-
ing mens' partnerships, which he thinks would solve
the difficulty of uniting their interest with that of
their employers. All such methods may be tried
with advantage, but the abolition of all private
ownership, as advised at Brussels, is not at present
advisable.

On Thursday Mr. STANSFELD addressed a
crowded meeting. He alluded to some features of
the approaching contest which occasioned a degree
of awkwardness. There are three Liberal candi-
dates in the field, and that is certainly of itself a
mistaken line of action to pursue. It must damage
the cause for which the candidates appear, besides
exhibiting a state of disunion in the ranks always
to be regretted on many accounts. Mr. STANSFELD
entirely disclaimed the idea of " dictation," and
laid down some definite rules as to the duties of
candidates to the constituencies 'which are worthy
of notice, especially just now, when there seems to
be a tendency in many directions to adopt this un-
deniable method of increasing influence. The
absolute right of selection must remain with
the constituencies, and there is an end to all free-
dom of election, and the sooner this is clearly under-
stood the better. One thing is certain that if this
principle be departed from nothing but disappoint-
ment will ensue alike to the representatives and
those who send them forth. Looking at the work
already cut out for the new Parliament, the hon.
member foresees no idle time of it, for directly
before him there appear " Reform, justice to Ire-
land, national economy, and the education of the
people." Respecting the changes likely to he
brought about by the general election, Mr. STANS-
FELD hopes, and " almost believes," that they
will bring " Mr. GLADSTONE back to power
as the Prime Minister of this country,
and as the leader of a compact, earnest, and
Liberal majority." The first is, perhaps, less un-
likely than the last; but, at any rate, it is a relief to
notice that we have not here so confident an asser-
tion put forth as we so often meet with in these
addresses and speeches. It is arrogant and pre-
sumptuous for people to go about declaring tha t
they know exactly the turn events will take, a 3 if
they could not be mistaken, or as if they could
further the circumstances which may yet change
current opinions, and turn the tide of events. Mr.
STANSFELD looks forward to Mr. GLADSTONE'S re-
sumption of power in one important point, that of
the expenditure. He thinks that the right hon.
gentleman will immediately effect a considerable
reduction in the Estimates, and then the argument
will be at an end. lie need not look so far as that.
If Mr. GLADSTONE gets into power he will trouble
himself very little about the expenditure being re-
duced, but just now it answers the purpose to take
up any matter that can tell against his opponents.
This comprehensive discourse was concluded by
some impressive remarks on the importance of pro-
moting by every means in our power the spread of
education, so that the gifted children of the poor
may rise through every gradation of school and col-
lege to the universities themselves.

The telegraph wires in Andalusia were imme-
diately cut. Several towns have joined the incur•
rectionary movement.

Great panic prevails at the Royal Court in
Madrid. Troops have been despatched from the
capital towards the south. Marshal Concha has
been appointed to the command of the Government
troops in Andalusia, and General Calonge has been
nominated Captain-General of Madrid.

TAMS; SMUT, SepteMber 20.
olitics;thOugh Many and important kiiestions are now
on foot, have fallen into the shade before the news of di?
terrible explosion at Metz. The disaster is eVe4' 6eater
than was indicated by the earlier intelligence, man? 9f
the wounded being considered. by the surgeons to
be in a hopeless condition. The total numbo Of
persons employed in the worksbopi at the time was
109. In the one room were 71 women, in the other 14.
There were also 10 foot chasseurs, 10 artificers, 3 sub-
intendants, and an inspector engaged in the same employ-
ment. The woodwork of the building was first blown to
pieces, the roof fell in, and the fire afterwards communi-
cating with the heaps of cartridges, literally burnt up the
persons present. The firemen and detachments of troops
hastened to the spot, but were too late to save the
unfortunate sufferers. One account says that the court of
the arsenal presented the appearance of a field of battle,
being covered with dead, dying, and wounded. " From
under the ruins sixteen dead bodies were withdrawn, so
burnt and disfigured as not to be recognisable, and fifty*
nine persons dreadfully injured and bruised lay on the
ground until they could be conveyed to the hospital.
The fire was soon extinguished, and by activity
and courage further disaster was prevented. Several
barrels of gunpowder were got out from the burning planks.
The least spark would have sufficed to explode these, and
blown to pieces the brave men engaged in the heroic task."
Another account in the Libert6has the following passage:—
"Presently from the burning ruins were seen to emerge men
and women, burnt, mutilated, their clothes on fire, some of
them without a shred of clothing left. One woman had no less
than ten wounds, but had not lost consciousness. The artillery
barracks are olose at hand, and the men were immediately
set to work to clear away the wreck, and collect the killed
and wounded. The sight was fearful—a heap of heads,
arms, legs, and shapeless trunks. An officer pulled a
soldier by the arm to extricate him from the debris; the
arm remained in his hand. Townspeople who had
relatives employed at the workshop broke through the
Line of troops, and an agonising scene took place. The
exact number of the -victims is unknown—forty bodies
were discovered, and twenty-five were buried to-day,"
The cause of the accident was precisely as I described it
in my last. A young woman, in a fit of temper, threw a
pair of scissors at one of her companions ; the point of the
scissors struck a percussion cap, which immediately
exploded. It is impossible to estimate the exact loss of
life. How many of the wounded will recover is a most
doubtful question. One surgeon says that out of fifty-
nine women wounded, scarcely ten can be deemed hopeful
eases. The total number of deaths so far is forty.
The situation has suddenly become pacific—so far as
France and Germany is concerned. The Emperor said
nothing at Lannemezan ; at the banquet which followed
he simply pronounced the words, " I drink to the army;"
and the semi-officials have evidently been ordered to mend
their ways and preach peace. Can more be desired ?
The Bourse had a fluctuating career on Saturday, but
this was chiefly owing to the proposed interviews between
the Emperor and the Queen of Spain. •
Prince Napoleon is living at Prangins in the most com-
plete retirement. He receives but a very limited numbs,
of friends, Count Walewski being the most favoured.
Count von Goltz is a little better. Ile is about to quit
the residence which the Emperor placed at his disposal
at Fontainebleau, and will soon return to Paris.
Amongst the on dits of the day is the forthcoming
appearance of an article in the Revue des Deux Mondes
on the battle of Sadowa. It is looked forward to with
much interest, being, it is said, from the pen of an exiled
prince.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 21, 18G8.

A new armour-plating, designed to supplant iron, was
submitted to the consideration of the Emperor during
his stay at Chalons. This new defence, the invention of
an Italian, is made of felt, vegetable fibres, and a textile
fabric, so compounded by powerful machinery as to
acquire all the solidity of cast metal. It seems to be
particularly fitted for breast-plates, defying a Cpassepot
bullet at half the usual range.

" The prophets of war," says the Independence Beige,
"have turned from Germany to seek in the East a pretext
for the conflicts which they are ever declaring to be
imminent." In truth, the news from the Danubian Pro-
vinces is not at all reassuring. A vague statement that
the Turks were preparing to enter Roumanian territory,
and had made the necessary preparations for crossing to
the right bank of the Danube, has been strengthened by a
Belgrade telegram affirming that the preparations were
actually going on, The reason assigned for this aggressive
measure is that the Turkish Government has resolved to
take time by the forelock. Having good reason for sus-
pecting that the Roumanian Government aims at the com-
plete independence of the province, the Ottoman Cabinet
has resolved to take immediate steps to reduce all the
semi•subject provinces to order. The Belgian paper
reproduces a report to the effect that the English Govern-
ment, represented by Lord Lyons, is endeavouring to
gain the assistance of France in persuading Turkey
not to proceed to these extremities. M. de Moustier, how-
ever, is animated by a very different policy. France will
encourage Turkey to persist in its designs, in order that
the Eastern question may culminate in a general war—
that desirable consummation the pretext for which cannot,
happily, be found in any other quarter. A Paris paper of
good authority says that the troops of the Porte have
actually entered Roumanian territory. This, as well as
the whole of the consequences deduced from the Belgrade
telegram, must be received with caution. But should the

From 12 o'clock last night until 6 o'clock this
(Monday) morning not a fire took place in any par;
of the metropolis, a fact worthy of being recorded.
During the morning of Sunday, however, as many
as eight fires were attended by the Brigade and
London Salvage Corps. One fire, which was very
rapid in its progress, took place in the premises of
Mr. Short, No. 50, Castle-street, East Ox-
ford-street, which, in spite of the early
arrival of assistance, destroyed an immense
portion of the top floors. The occupier
was insured in the County Fire Office.
Another fire happened in the Royal Thames Yacht
Club House, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. The
firemen promptly attended and succeeded in con-
fining the fire to the kitchen. The business of the
club will therefore not be retarded. A very de-
structive fire, and nearly attended with the loss of
two persons, broke out in the premises belonging to
Mr. J. Chapman, a cook and confectioner, situate
at No. 48, City Garden-row, City-road. A man
and an aged female, to avoid being burned
to death were obliged to jump out of
the. back windows. The escapes and engines
were soon on the spot, and plenty of water having
been obtained one of the powerful land steamers by
Shand, Mason, and Co., was set to work, but the
building and all it contained were destroyed before
the flames could be conquered. Insured iu the Im-
perial Fire Office. A fire also broke out in a store
in the open grounds of the Belvedere Tavern, Pen-
tonville, which was destroyed. A fire likewise oc-
curred in the beer-shop of Mr. Reeder, No. 227,
John's-lane, Clerkenwell, which partially destroyed
the basement and bar flooring.

It will hardly be a matter of surprise to any one
that Spain has at length shown manifest symptoms
of disaffection. G-ONZALEZ BRAVO has carried on
affairs with a high hand for some time, but he
may now find the tables turned with a vengeance
upon him. The return of the Generals who were
banished to the Canary Islands seems so far con-
clusive evidence that something is resolved upon of
a decided nature, and there is no doubt that the
Government will find all differing parties united
against them, thus making common cause
upon a point in which they all agree, dis-
like to the existing state of things, and distrust
of the Executive. A rumour is current that
the QUEEN has abdicated, and a despatch received
by the Spanish Consul at Bayonne announces that
hn. MAJESTY will leave St. Sebastian for Biarritz,
but this is not yet assured intelligence. Meanwhile
all the French journals, except the Moniteur and
the Constitutionnel, contain rei orts of this revolu-
tionary 'outbreak in Spain. The whole iLet sta-
tioned at Cadiz have, it is sail, risen against the
G and Rear-Aliniral TOPETE has the
command. Previously to th,.; landing of the exiled
Generals at the port of Cadiz the garrison took a
decisive part in the affair, and made a pronuncia-
mento in favour of the insurrectionists. It thu3 ap-
pears that nothing is wanting to give the movement a
comprehensive character, and to impart significance
to it, and ; indeed, so decisive is the nature of the
affair, that if the rumour of the QUEEN'S abdication
be not correct now, it may be styled premature,
and not wholly false, for in all probability the next
intelligence will announce it as bona fide news.'

THE CRINESF, EMBASSY.—The members of the
new embassy which the Emperor of China has sent to the
United States and Europe loft New York on tho 9th inst.
in the Cunard Royal Mail steamer Java, which arrived in
the Mersey at noon on Saturday. Tho Java, on entering
the Mersey on Saturday, with the Chinese ensign at thl
fore, at once proceeded to the Canada Dock and landed her
passengers, so that but few persons were present to wel-
come the " distinguished strangers." They at once en-
tered a private omnitus and some other vehicles provided
for them, and drove off to the Washington Hotel, where
their arrival created a great sensation. After partaking'of
dinner and resting for an hour or two, the members of the
embassy left Limo-street station for London, where they
are expected to remain for some two or three months.
During their stay in the metropolis they will reside at the
Grosvenor Hotel, but they will probably visit some of the
largest towns in the provinces before they cross over to
the Continent.

Turkish Government finally take the threatened step,
serious consequences must almost necessarily ensue. The
passage of the Danube would be an infraction of the Treaty
of Paris. Treaties are not usually of much consequence
when the interests of nations are at stake, but they have
extra importance attached to them when broken by small
Powers in the face of the great.
Public feeling in Canada during the trial of Whelan rose
to a degree of intense excitement. While there was a
general conviction that the accused was the guilty person
and would be convicted, the loyalists openly threatened
that if justice were not done they would take Whelan
and hang him by force. Six or seven head centres came
from New York with money to aid in the defence. They
were closely watched. Two witnesses were brought up
from Montreal to swear in direct opposition to the prose-
cution, but " they declined to perjure themselves," and a
fracas ensued. Threatening letters were sent to all the
witnesses for the prosecution, and one of them was attacked
and knocked down by a sling shot. The mail reports of
the trial do not give the sentence, and we have therefore
yet to learn why the execution is not to take place until
the 10th of December.
The collection of a large body of troops on the Punjab
frontier is the principal intelligence coming from that
quarter. No further disturbances are announced, and the
prospect of a " cold weather campaign," as the Anglo-
Indians delight to call it, was not, according to the latest
advices, very threatening. The array of troops seems to
have cowed the natives. All the hostilities recorded in
the Indian papers are included in a raid of a native tribe
upon a police-station. The natives found the police quite
equal to thern, betook themselves to the mountains,
and have not again made their appearance.
Some reports, however, state that the hostile tribes
were very numerous, one estimating them at
10,000 strong. The large force which the Government
has sent to the troubled district does not, therefore,
appear superfluous, nor is the danger altogether at an end.
Indeed, time accounts in the Indian journals clearly shew
that if serious war is not to be apprehended, it is the
vigilance of the Government that has prevented it. The
Indian Daily Neics thinks that this rising will lead to the
establishment of an army on the north-west frontier, not
only for the purpose of defending it against the Indians,
but also to watch over British interests in Afghanistan.

The Morning Herald publishes an elaborate article and
statistics with the object of proving that where Mr. Glad-
stone's finance has been successful the success has been
due to no merit of his own, and where Mr. Disraeli's has
been unsuccessful the non-success has been due to adverse
circumstances over which he had no control. The figures
for the whole time during which the Liberal leader was
Chancellor of the Exchequer are printed, and prominence
is given to the fact that the highest point at which
the income tax stood during his career was 16d., whilst
that during Mr. Disraeli's was only 9d. The fact that
Mr. Gladstone had to provide for a Russian war
explains the high figure here mentioned.
The Rev. J. C. Gill, whose name does not appear in
" Crockford," and who is therefore, we suppose, one of the
" unattached " clergy, as they were described with reference
to the clerical memorial against the Irish Church, has
written a letter to the secretary of Sir John Lubbock's
and Mr. Angerstein's committee to express his good wishes
for the success of the Liberal candidates for West Kent.
Mr. Gill dates from East Down Park, Lewisham, and
declares that he is quite unable to defend the Irish
Church Establishment ; that it is absolutely necessary
to do something with it ; that he prefers im-
partial disendowment to " levelling up." He goes
on to say : " The Premier is evidently ready to
' educate' the Conservative party to anything, and
it seems to me that the climax of inconsistency is
reached when a Protestant meeting closes its proceedings
with cheers for Mr. Disraeli. As a friend to national pro-
gress and improvement, I support the Liberal candidates for
West Kent. They belong to the party from which all benefi-
cent measures have come,:and from which, with that great
statesman Mr. Gladstone for its leader, we may look for
still further salutary and beneficent legislation. The
present Government is a weak and a wasteful one; it has
already sacrificed its principles for the sake of office, and I
have no confidence that it willsst do BO again, whenever
there is A cOnvpient season!".
