House of Commons.
AMERICAN COMEDY IN ENGLAND.
The Constable Of Bradford Puts an End 10 the
Travels Of Trades Union Men.

warded strange and not too creditable scene
took place in the House of Commons on the occa-
sion OF the discussion by the members OF certain
clauses OF the Public Worship bill, which had been
rejected by the Lords In the course of this de-
bate Sir William Vernon Harcourt late Solicitor
General of the liberal government, commenced
speech with most extravagant laudation OF Mr..
Disraeli, and made regular attack upon Mr.. Glad
stone, his late chief. Mr.. Gladstone replied Ia
ecathing Terms; but the oddness OF the debate
reached It's elimination wnen Mr.. Disraeli himself
rose, anu III he course OF the most effective speech
which he had delivered during the session, was
extremely severe upon the Marquis OF Salisbury,
who is the present tory Secretary Tor India. de-
scriblng him as mot unvelsed IN jioes and jeers
and nouts" and as being gwen to the
use OF very strong language. The next night,
in his place in the House of Lords, Lord salisbury
referred to this debate declaring that ne had not
used the words "blustering majority" as ascrbed
to the House or Commons, OF which he had been
accused, but passing over IN silence Mr.. Dsraei's
sarcastic remarks about him. Lord Salisbury is,
however, very reticent man when he chooses,
and whenever he does not speak one may depend
upon 1t that he is. like the celebrated pa rot,
thinking the MORE" No one was surprised,
therefore, to hear that he is deeply wounded at
the attack made upon hlm by his chiel and that
those who say that TIE whole AFFAIR Is what Is
called IN America "put up Job," and that quite
certain that sundry OF the best informed members
OF the Carlton Club are convinced that nothing
more will be heard OF it. This was the last Kicker
OF light in the remarkably duh Parliament which
expired OF inanitiOn on Friday last.
BASE BALL.
On Saturday American visitors had the
pleasant test day which they had yet experienced
playing match at base BALI in the old deer park
AT Richmond, magnificent meadow, with It's turf
just now in excellent order. All the prominent
citizens in the neighDOrhoOd were present, ana at
the conclusion Of the match there was dinner
at which Admiral Stoplord presided and said many
graceful things IN honor OF the American visitors
and their country
'wE'vE GOT NO WORK To Do,
The procession Ol the agricultural laborers who
are on ''strIke," and who have been paradiHg
various districts OF the Midland counties, with the
view Of exciting cOmmlseratlOn and obtaining
subscriptions from charitable public, has come
to an abrupt end. The farce was indeed "payed
cut" The Union to which the subscriptions
were supposed to be given had for some
time acknowledged itself unable to sup
port the men; all that could be done
IN the way OF mediation has been tried
and failed. and the ''prOcessOn" was simply the

pressed itself upon the Chief Constable of Brad
1ord who had several OF the ringleaders taken up
for public mendlcancy, and only released them on
the condition OF their at once leaving the town.
Next day the fifteen surviving sraggers reached
Halifax, where five OF them accepted WORK, ana
the procession broke up the rest returning to
their homes.
ECCLESIASTICAL DISPUTES.
What Is known as the Exeter Reredos case has
advanced q step. The Bishop OF Exeter ordered
the removal or the reredos, which, under the
auspices Of the. High Church party, had been
erected in Exeter Cathedral, whereupon appeal
was made to Sir Robert Phiimore, the Judge Of
the Court OF Arches. who reversed the Bishops
decision. The matter is not over yet, as appeal
Is to be made in November TO the
Privy Council. This Is case in which
the deepest interest Is taken by the
cOntend ding parties, anenr which long articles are
written in the Church Times and the Church
Herald, the ROck ana the Record, these being the
ecceslastical newspapers, which attack each
other with bitterness unknown in other Journal
istic controversies. Whether screen shall stand
IN q certain portion OF church is to them OF more
Importance than the late OF nations or the des.
TIMES OF empires, aud whether a man shall preach
y u
heart-burnlngs than q family feud and cause more
epilllng of ink than scientific discussion.

"CAMDUx'' RETIRED
Great excitement is prevalent among military
circles at the rumor that the Duke OF Cambridge
IL about to vacate the office of Commander in
Chief of the army, which ne has held for the last
eighteen years. The Duke has for long time
been suffering from g0ut and sciatica, which,
during the last three months, have increased SO
much as to completely disable him from taking
exercise. He is brave, honorable and wel-in-
tenttoned man, but obstinate and headstr0n0,
and is not supposed to have any special quanca-
tions for the post. Rum0r Is at present silent as
10 his successor.

services IN encountering the operations of the
famine IN India, Lord Northbrook will be made an
Earl and Sir Richard Temple and Sir George Camp
bell Will be created Baronets OF the United King
dom.
have every reason to believe that the report
which sent you last week as to the selection OF
Sir Seymour Fitzgerald to succeed Sir Edward
Thornton as British Ambassador at Washington Is
correct. Sir seymour has been Under Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs and Governor of BOm-
bay. 1t is further believed that Mr.. Layard Will
succeed Sir Henry Elliott as British Ambassador
at Constantinople.
