FOREIGN ITEMs.-In the British House
of Commons enquiry had been made why
several guns of large calibre had been
purchased from an American citizen.-Lord
Panmure made satisfactory explanation.
He said that they were ordered upon the
report Of Select Committee to test their
merits.
The Jewish disabilities bill had been so
amended as to prevent the Jews from
holding any office whatever; from belonging
to Ecclesiastical Courts; or in any manner
to WELD an influence in the affairs of the
Church. In the same House Mr. Smith
moved the following:
Resolved. That in the opinion of this
House, it is expedient that Parliament shall
direct an immediate attention to the best
mode of removing obstacles which impede
the application OF British capital and skill
t" the improvement of the productive powers
of Iudia
He followed up the resolution with a
speech principally advocating the growth
of cotton in India, stating that the Candeish
province alone was capable of growing
more colt on than was now produced in the
United States; that there was plenty of
English capital available to promote cultiva-
ton, if guarantee were given that proper
facilities would be afforded by internal
Improvements and better government.

THE sosroN SPIRITUAL 1nvEsT1-


The experiments which haze been in
progress for some time, at Boston, based
upon the offer of $500, made by the Courier,
to test the truth of "spiritualism," termin-
ated on Saturday last, in the complete
failure of the 'smediums,'' as was generally
anticipated. Although the best operators
from various parts of the country were ep-
ployed, no phenomena were manifested or
even attempted, for the very apparent
reason, as the Courier remarks. that they
education, observation, experience and in
tegrity." The only thing resembling mani
fe>tations, were certain indIstinct craps"
produced by the Fox girls, and evidently
made about their persons, as was admitted
by DIR. Gardiner, the spiritualistin-c chief.
The Foxes, disguised with the incredulity
of the investigating committee, retired, and
never appeared again. The whole affair
resulted in the complete exposure of this
greatest of humbugs.-a report of which
will soon be published by the Committee.
Whenever that report appears, says the
Boston Courier:
1T will confirm every former investiga-
ton of scientific men, with this additional
advantage to the public-that no such com
pete opportunity has ever before been
aft ,rded to the Spiritualists; that no such
congregation of ''testmediumS'' has ever
before been had !; that no more competent
persons have ever before examined the
whole subject. or who could have given to
it more patience, or candid attention, or
who have spent upon it so much time, or
who could have been more actuated by the
sole desire to discover what could or what
could not be done. That there will be a
certain class of minds to which their re-
port will neither afford satisfaction nor
bring conviction, we can easily anticipate.
But even these will eventually learn that
science is a substantial thing, not to be
trihed with, or set aside, and that no general
error can long prevail against the intelli-
gent demonstration of truth"

BISHOP DAVIS, OF S. CAROLINA

We copy from the National Intelligencer
the following correct statement of the
views entertained by Bishop Davis as to
"Apostolical Succession:
From the National Intelligencer.
THE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.
MEssRs. EDITOR: As you gave place in
your paper not long since 70 the statement
explained below-viz: that Bishop Davis,
of South Carolina, denied the Apostolic
Succession-I trust that you will also insert
the accompanying explanation of that state
ment, coming. as it does, from high authori-
ty in the Church. w. l.. G..
To the Editors ofhe Ne,D York Express:
Bishop De Lancv has desired me to for
ward the enclosed to you, with the request
that it may be published. 1t is intended
by him as an explanation of an article in
last Saturdays Express. to the effect that
Bishop Davis. of South Carolina, ''denied
the Apostolical succession"
BISHOP DAVIS-APOSTOLICAL SUCCESSION.
The Apostles had no successor;
]. AS appointed witnesses of our Lords
resurrection
2. As having been personally called to
the Apostleship by Christ himself;
3. As endued with miraculous powers.
Neither of these particulars go or can go
by succession. In regard to these points
the Apostles had no succession.
This is what Bishop Davis and every
other Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church asserts and teaches.
But that the Apostles had successors in
the exercise of the governing and ordaining
power in the church, and that the Bishops
are successors to that power, is true in
point of fact, is what is held and taught by
Bishop Davis and all Bishops in the church,
and is what is meant by Apostolical sue
cessions.

A MORE THAN COMFORTABLE INCOME
John Jacob Aston once observed that a
man with 100000 might begin to feel
comfortable. The son of that millionaire
has now an income of $4,000 a day, or
$685. 900 year; but is not comfortable
by any means, for he has the govt so bad,
it is said, that he has to diet himself
on Graham bread!

SPORTING WITH HUMAN LIFE.-It appears
by the Montreal Advertiser, that the fire on
board the steamer Montreal, which caused
such a terrible destruction of human life,
broke out first shortly after leaving Quebec,
where the passengers could have been saved.
The lire was partially subdued, without the
passengers knowing anything about it, the
vessel continuing on her way. 1t broke
out second time, was again subdued, but
finally it got the mastery, and again broke
out without any power to stay it. BY this
time the steamer had reached an unsettled
part of the shore, where no assistance could
be rendered. By this time the fire had
run from stem to stern, and in few moments
smoke and flames broke out from end to end.
Then came an awful scene of horror and
confusion. As the burning vessel neared
the shore she struck rock within stones
throw, and remained fast, surrounded by
deep water. a more wanton disregard Of
the safety of the passengers than this, if the
statement be true cannot well be conceived.

A NOVEL CAsE.-The Lancaster Ledger
before the court of Equity in Lancaster
week before last:
An old gentleman living in Kershaw
District, married, in 1855, his brothers
daughter. He died soon after, leaving
property valued at about $4,000 The
bill was filed for the partition ofthe estate
his children maintaining that their fathers
last marriage was illegal and void, while
the widow claimed her third. Chancellor
Dunkin decided in favor of the widow-as
the Law Court had decided in the same
way, in similar case, and there being 10
law in the State which renders A marriage
between an uncle and niece void The
Ledger learns that the case will be taken to
the Court of Appeals.
