The temper of the Archbishop OF Ganter-
bury does not seem improved BY his recent
al for the sympathy shown him during its
continuance, lie professed himself deeply |
grateful at q meeting of archdeacons ana
rural deans of his diocese. With oil MS
Erastianism-and that 10 NO Insignificant |
trait in his character-his Grace Of Canter- |
bury is sorely exercised at the slowness and
unwillingness of Parliament to deal with
the Romanising tendencies of shndry mem
bers of the Establishment, and conciuoes
his grumbling with an ill-concealcd hit Mt
the Ritual Commission for not making
short work of the extreme Anglicans and
their innovations His words we quote at
length: Parliament holds back from
sanctioning any measure of Church reform
which it is not evident the Church, in the
person of it's clergy and laity, desires. We
live in an age when noisy minorlties make
themselves heard all over the world but
We may depend upon it that, although the
general legislation of the country may
sometimes take line which we deprecate
as likely to be harmful, no Legislation di-
rectly effectipg the Church itself will be
carried against the will of the Church.
Now it must be granted that there is
widely spread, uneasy feeling in the coun-
try with respect to the mode of celebrating
Divine service. No one can take up a
newspaper or travel in a railway carriage
without being confronted with the fact that
that there; are some Of the clergy who are
bent upon restoring the Mass and the dis
tinctly Roman doctrines which this country
rejected at the Reformation. So widely
spread had this feeling become, that, ip
1867, under the Government of Lord Der
by, Commission, fairly consisting of
every class of opinion in the Church, was
appointed to inquire into the subject That
Commission having taken evidence and
deliberated at length issued report which

sirable to prevent excuses of ritual, and
expressed the opinion that some easy and
inexpensive process ought to be found for
restraining such excuses fer it was obvi-
ously the feeling of the Commissioners that
a large portion of the laity were being
alienated from the Church.
The End of tho Newcastle Strikc.-The
| Newcastle strike was terminated at the
close of the first week in October, by the
happy interference of q bystander. Mr..
| Philipson, the town clerk of Newcastle,
talked the matter over with Mr.. Cowen,
representing the workmen, and they drew
up, without authority from either side, a
minute Of the terms which appeared to
them just to both, and likely to terminate
: the dispute. The employers were to con-
sent to fifty flour hours being the normal
working time per week, and the workmen
were to agree to work overtime when re-
quired to do SO. The wages, both for
main as they were before the strike, and to
be paid weekly at 1915 p. NJ. on Saturdays.
Tho old system of fifty seven hours was to
} remain in force for the rest of the current
year, and the new one of fifty -four to come
. into operation on the LIST January. The
, agreement was to be for twelve months
Q but to be terminated at the end of si1
months by months notice from either
= party. This minute was submitted through
!. Sir w. Armstrong to the associate masters
Z L-sxl
communicated to a general meeting of the
workmen, at which resolution, moved
r and Z" eloquently supportedp by Mr.. Bur
d nett, accepting the terms, and requesting
d the employers to appoint six of their body
t to meet an equal number of the men to ar
. range matters of detail, was carried withou
Q opposition and "with immense enthusiasm
