THE PARLIAMENTARY PROGRAMME.

The Post puts forth what purports to bethe arrange-
ments for the meeting of the new Parliament. It
is very precise in its dates. " The old Parliament," it
says,"will be dissolved on Wednesday, the 11th inst.
The writs will be immediately issued ; the nomina-
tions and unopposed elections for English
boroughs will take place on Monday, the 16th.
The contested borough elections may take place
the day following ; county elections will take place a
few days later. The new Parliament will assemble
on Wednesday, the 9th of December, when the form
of swearing-in members will be proceeded with.
Public business will commence on Monday, the 14th
of December." Mr. Denison's election for the
office of Speaker is not to be contested. The
" great debate" will take place " on the iddress." It
will probably, the Post says, last till Friday, the 18th,
when the Government will be defeated. "In this
event, Mr. Disraeli, having in the meantime sought
an interview with her Majesty, will, on Monday, the
21st of December, announce that her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to accept the resignation of
her Ministers, and it will become Mr. Gladstone's
duty as leader to move the adjournment of the House
for the Christmas recess, during which period ample
time will be afforded for the formation of a
Liberal Administration." Here we believe our con-
temporary to be in error. It does not become Mr.
Gladstone's duty as leader to move the adjournment.
We believe it is not etiquette for the one
" sent for " to come into the House at all on that
night. When Mr. Gladstone announced the resigna-
tion of the Ministry in 1866, he himself moved the
adjournment, and Mr. Disraeli will probably do the
same.

REGPMENTAL CANTEENS.

Some time back the officers at some of our garri-
son towns were complaining bitterly as to the ner
canteen arrangements. At Aldershot, for instanc&,
they had been providing for the amusement of the
soldier from the surplus profits of the canteen.
This was to the soldier's manifest benefit, and it
harmed no one. Suddenly this arrangement was
upset, and there was danger that the amusement
would be withdrawn, and the soldier would seek it
where it was less pure. The complaint having
been brought under the notice of the Duke of Cam-
bridge, he has reconsidered the new arrangement.
He has now ordered that all charges in connection
with the canteen should be paid from the profits,
that those over should be allowed to accumulate to
the amount of £5OO, £2OO, or £5O, as the case may
be, and that then the surplus should be expended at
the discretion of the commanding officer, with the
sanction of the district commander, "in such a
manner as will enable the largest number of soldiers
to profit by its expenditure."

A REBUKE.

The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown, the well-known Non-
conformist minister, was lately lecturing at Liverpool.
He mentioned Mr. Bright as a great orator, and this
was followed by hissing, and a counter-demonstration
of applause was evoked. He then tried the name of
Disraeli, but that did not please all ; and then Mr.
Whalley. The lesson was obvious. In a large
audience of various politics it is impossible to name a
statesman who would be a universal favourite ; but
Mr. Brown had simply named Mr. Bright as an orator,
and his hearers might surely have refrained from
such extreme partisanship as to quarrel about that.
Mr. Brown then continued : " I would say to the
gentleman—for there was only one—who hissed at
the name of John Bright, that if he has not the
common sense and common decency to recognise
intellectual ability in a political opponent—l say, if
that gentleman, or that person—has not the common
sense and common decency to recognise intellectual
ability in a political opponent, I am thankful to say
that I have." The lesson is of extensive application.

THE DOWAGER DUCHESS OF SUTUERLAND.

The funeral of the Dowager Duchess of SuthexEnd

has -taken -place at Trentharri, and dm or tne most
notable members of the female aristocracy has passed
out of sight. There was a great following of noble
mourners, including three dukes, two duchesses,
three marquises, besides many members of the lower
ranks of the peerage, most of them belonging to
well-known and historical families of the leading
Whigs. Perhaps no lady was ever more familiar with
the Court and the surroundings of a Court
than the deceased duchess. She must have been the
confidante of many a statesman, and have watched
with keen interest many a political crisis. She will
perhaps be best remembered as the intimate friend
and companion of her Majesty. The Queen is fast
losing the advisers and companions of her youth, and
the loss of the dowager duchess must be
a bitter one. Lord Bagot represented her
Majesty at the funeral, and placed upon the
coffin two wreaths of immortelles. The Prince of
Wales was also there, and laid a wreath of camellias
and lilies upon the grave of the beautiful and accom-
plished woman who had adorned the Court of the
Queen of England, and been the chosen companion
of his mother.

<THE BEY. AZGEBNOR

The death, of this clergyman is announce& He was a
man of some notoriety, for more than one reason. His
living of Doddington and Marsh, in Cambridgeshire, is by
far the richest in England, and is returned
as being worth about £B,OOO a year. It is in the gift of
Sir W. A. Peyton, Bart. The deceased clergyman has
held the living since 1811, and during that period he
has often been the subject of free comment by those
who attacked the large incomes of some of the clergy.
The late clergyman was one of the order of squire-
parsons, and in his younger days was a notable
dandy. His costume was well known to everyone in
Cambridgeshire, and a pair of white ducks always were a
distinguishing feature of it. His only daughter married
Lerd Francis John Russell, son of the sixth Duke of
Bedford

THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOLDFIELDS.

Mr. Robinson, of the Legislative Council of Natal,
writes respecting the goldfields in South Africa. He says
there can now be scarcely a doubt that a large
region, bordering and extending to the northward
of the River Limpope, has for ages yielded gold to the
natives, who have obtained the precious metal by means
of the simplest processes and the rudest appliances.
Mr. Robinson urges, however, that by far the best route
is through Natal. It is very much shorter and more
direct. The rivers are bridged, and an abundant supply
of pasture exists all the way. Water also is plentiful, and
has not to be purchased at the rate of half-a-crown a
bucket, as is occasionally the case along other routes. The
difficulties of the Drakenberg mountain range and of the
Tsetse fly are purely imaginative.

THE SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIR

There is a queer story "in the wind." Whether
there be the least particle of truth in it we cannot say.
It is said that " Lord Derby's eldest son, her Majesty's
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, now in his
42nd year, contemplates the somewhat serious step
of a matrimonial alliance in addition to his other
Ministerial cares and responsibilities. The future
Countess of Derby is the Dowager Marchioness of
Salisbury, a very lovely woman, just closing her 44th
year, the stepmother of Lord Cranborne when in the
House of Commons, and herself the mother of four
children," and, we may add, a widow of the present
year. The story is told by the London correspon-
dent of the Irish Times—no very great authority.

THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM.
By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," &c.

" The Woman's Kingdom' sustains the author's reputation as
a writer of the pure't and noblest kind of domestic stories. The
novelist's lesson is given with admirable fore and sweetness."—

" 'The Woman's Kingdom' is remarkable for its strength of

never once -nap throughout the volumes. The characters are
masterpieces. Edna- is worthy of the band that drew John

PROFESSOR BEESLY AND MOSES.

Professor Beesly writes to the Pall Mall Gazztle contra-
dicting the reports which have appeared of his speech on
the institution of the Sabbath. He complains that
the writer in the Pall Mall Gazette asserted that
he belonged to a party which " hated God and loved Louis
Napoleon." " I know," writes the Professor, " of no such
party ; it is absolutely false that I hate God or love Louis
Napoleon, and I call upon him to point to anything I have
said or written which proves either charge. If he cannot do
so perhaps he will apologise, though from former experience
I am not sanguine. In the meantime I would ask
whether it has been usual in decent journalism
to charge a writer or speaker whom you dislike
with hating God.' I would further ask the
writer whether he is in a position to say, even
anonymously, that he loves God ; because if he is not, it
would be more honest not to call others to account on that
matter. The unfairness of some further criticisms is
partly, but only partly, excused by an incorrect report of
my speech. I didnot say that Moses assumed' there was
a Supernatural Being, nor did any words of mine imply any-
thing so absurd as that Moses was not, like all other men of
that epoch, a sincere and unquestioning theist. I argued at
some length that the Catholic Church had treated the Sab-
bath more sensibly than Protestantism, and I mentioned
that `in Southern Europe' it had caused the places of
amusement to be closed on Fridays."

THE EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA;

The details of the late catastrophe at San Frandscoind
its neighbourhood confirm in every respect the account we
received by Atlantic telegraph. Five persons were killed
and twenty-five injured by the fall of buildings. The
damage, as before estimated, is one million dollars.
Strange to say, no disturbance was visible on the sea,
though those on board ship say the earthquake was felt as
if the vessels had struck upon a rock.

BERGEN-OPOO3I.

The strong fortress of Bergen-op-Zoom standS near the
mouth of the East Scheldt, a few miles from Antwerp.
In the campaign of 1814 an attempt was made by the
British, under Sir T. Graham, afterwards Lord Lynedoch,
to carry this stronghold, then in the hands of the French,
but after forcing an entrance their retreat was cut off,
and a dreadful slaughter followed. Nearly all were killed
or made prisoners. The fortifications of Bergen-op-Zoom
are now being demolished, and the redoubt, where several
hundred Englishmen were buried by pitfuls containing
one hundred-each, will soon be submitted to the s►padeand
pick. As the ground is very-dry, and as the earth has not
been removed since the interment, it is expected that the
remains of these soldiers will be to a great extent pre-
served. They will be disinterred some time between this
and Saturday. Orders have been given to conduct with
all possible respect the displacement of the last of these
brave men.

SPAIN

A popular demonstration in honour of the "advocates of
liberty" who died under the rule of Isabella was held at
Barcelona on Monday. The coffins of three officers were
dug up, and exposed on a temporary erection,
amidst the enthusiasm of the multitude. Funds
have been raised for a monument in commemoration
of these victims. The crowd dispersed in the
evening amid cries of " Down with the Bourbons,"
" Down with Pretenders," " Long live the Republic."
The proclamation addressed to the Spanish Democrats by
Rivero Castelar and other leaders of the party maintains
that the revolution has changed not merely the dynasty,
but the entire social and political system of Spain.
Hereditary monarchy has succumbed. It is for Democracy
to render its re-establishment impossible. A letter to the
Havas Agency says the Republican party is making such
progress that a little longer indecision on the part of the
monarchists will decide the question of government
against the latter.
General Concha has been authorised to reside in Spain.
The Republican Centre of Barcelona has nominated Juarez,
Mazzini, Garibaldi, Victor Hugo, Carolina Coronado, and
others as honorary members of their society. The Epoca
says that a deputation from the United States Las die-
embarked at Santander to treat with the Provisional
Government respecting Cuba.

TNFORMATION FOR LIBEL.

In the Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Dowdeswell applied
on behalf of Mr. Travis, stipendiary magistrate of Hull,
for a rule calling on Mr. Hunt, publisher of the Hull
Advertiser, and Mr. Spurr, solicitor, of that town, to show
oause why a criminal information should not be filed
against them for libel. On the 12th September last Mr.
Spurr appeared before Mr. Travis, and applied for a sum-
mons for perjury against Mr. Egginton, a magistrate of the
borough, and a member of the firm of Messrs. Smith and
Co., bankers. At the conclusion of the application, Mr.
Travis thought he ought not to grant it, and suggested
that Mr. Spurr should renew it on a future day, and
put himself in the hands of an independent attorney, as
the transaction arose out of some litigation between the
bank and Mr. Spurr. On the 11th of September a
report of the cx parte statement appeared in the
Hull Advertiser, and on the following day a letter
appeared in that paper signed "Justice," regretting the
summons had not been granted, and speaking in favour of
Mr. Travis's well-known impartiality, and Mr. Egginton's
position and character. That letter was replied to by
Mr. Spurr in a following number, and in it he stated that
he was told by the officer at the police-court that
Mr. Travis had been sent for to the bank, and
'was then there, and that as to Mr. Travis's well-known
impartiality, he (Spurr) had so much doubt that he bad
written to the Secretary of State, giving him facts upon
which there seemed to him (Spurr) there ought to be an
inquiry as to Mr. Travis's refusal to grant the summons,
and that Mr. Travis's refusal would enable him to go to
London and have the case fully investigated, free from
personal influence. Mr. Travis publicly denied that he
was sent for to go to the bank, and explained what caused
him to go there ; and in his affidavit he stated that
he went to the bank to get a cheque changed and a
bill granted upon London, and immediately returned to
the police-court. There was not, he stated, the least
foundation for the insinuation contained in Mr. Spurr's
letter, that he hadbeen influenced in his decision by going
to the bank ; and, further, it had been ascertained that no
letter had been received by the Secretary of State. There
were other affidavits denying Mr. Spurr's statement. All
Mr. Fp Irr was told v a • that Mr. Travis had gone to ti.
b nk to change the cheque.—Rule granted.
