THE CLERICAL SCANDAL AT LEAMINGTON. On Monday morning the memorialists, who had moved the Bishop of Worcester to inquire into the charges of insobriety" against the Rev. John Craig, Vicar of Leamington, received a letter from his lord- ship informing them they were at liberty to take fur- ther proceedings in the case, either in the Consistory Court of Worcester or in the Court of Arches. The communication has created some little surprise in cer- tain quarters, where an impression prevailed that the Bishop could of himself take action on the evidence ad- duced. His lordship explains that he has not yet re- ceived the report of the Comissioners, nor a copy of the evidence, and his letter appears to be nothing more than a reply to an-inquiry from the memorialists respecting the course he intends to pursue. It is stated that the expense of carrying so many witnesses to Worcester or London, and of maintenance while the cause is being investigated, will be enormous; but, as the Vicars ac- cusers are mostly men of means, that difficulty is not an insuperable one.

THE BALLOT BILL. The Parliamentary and Municipal Elections Bill has been printed. It consists of twenty-eight clauses, the first eighteen of which relate to Parliamentary elections, four to Municipal elections, and the remainder to mis- cellaneous points of detail. The mode of voting is thus described in the second clauseThe ballot of each voter shall consist of a paper (in this Act called a ballot paper) showing the names and description of the candidates. At the time of voting it shall be marked at the back with an official mark, and delivered to the voter within the polling station, and the voter, having secretly marked his vote on it, and folded it so as to conceal his vote, shall place it in a closed box in the presence *f the officer presiding at the polling station (in this Act called the presiding officer') after having shown to him the official mark at the back. Any ballot paper which has not oil its back the official mark, or oil which votes are given to more candidates than the voter is entitled to vote for, or on which anything is written or marked by which the voter can be identified, shall be void and not counted." Infringement of se- crecy by any officer, clerk, or agent in attendance at a polling station is to be punishable by imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months with or without hard labour.

THE ANDAMANS PENAL SETTLEMENT. The following passage, quoted by the Timet last June from Allen's Indian Mail, has a painful significance at a period when the country is shocked with the tidings of Lord Mayo's murder:—" To judge from what has lately transpired concerning the usual life of a convict in the Andaman Islands, the penal settlement there has for some time past been turned into a paradise of rum-drinking and unlimited idleness. It appears that the European and Eurasian convicts, at any rate, have been allowed to do pretty much as they pleased. They go froely into each other's rooms, wander where they like outside, take into their service the sepoys who are supposed to guard them, entertain their friends to dinner, and are free to draw for a whole gallon of rum at one time. Unluckily the dinners and the drinking sometimes lead te quarrels, whiek now and then lead to blood-shedding or downright murder. All this came out at the Calcutta Criminal Sessions on May 6th, when a Port Blair convict, James Devine, was con- victed of murdering a comrade in a. drunken quarrel, the sad but not unnatural close of an evening spent by Devine and his friends in getting through a gallon of rum. Devine, becoming mad drunk, battered in the head of the man who had lain nearest him that night. He was found guilty, but recommended to mercy on the plea that "the crime would not in all probability have been committed but for the disgraceful laxity of disci- pline and want of proper control over the convicts at Port Blair, as shown in the evidence." Whatever be- comes of this particular ruffian, we may hope that General D. Stewart, the new Governor of the Anda- mans, will remove like temptations to like deeds of vio- lence out of the convicts' way. Lord Napier, we are told, has long sighed for a little more discipline at Port Blair, and General Stewart, as being his own selection, may be trusted to carry out the desired reforms."

THE THANKSGIVING SERVICE. The preparations in St. Paul's Cathedral are making satisfactory progress, and it is believed that the Lord Chamberlain will be able to dispose of about 12,000 tickets. The great majority of even this large number of tickets will be given away on public grounds, and when it is remembered that those who have a right to be present either have also a sort of right to, or will in many oases be allowed, by courtesy of England, tickets for their wives, this marvellous absorption is not to be wondered at. The House of Commons will pro- bably take about 1,000 tickets, and the Lord Cham- berlain has allotted another 1,000 to the Dean and Chapter. These latter will probably be distributed as follows, viz.: -To the Lower House of Convocation (the Upper House being composed of Bishops, will be pro- vided with tickets as members of the House of Lords); to the Irish, Scotch, and such Colonial Bishops as are in England; to a number of the London and other clergy; to the committee and subscribers of the St. Paul's Completion Fund. To these have to be added the Cathedral Chapter amd the Minor Canons and Prebends. The Guildhall committee have received an intimation, through the Commissioners of Police, that the route of the Royal pageant had been finally determined-namely, by way of the Strand, Temple Bar, Fleet-street, and Ludgate-hill: and on its return, by way of Bridge-street, Blackfriars, and the Victoria Embankment. The City Architect is engaged in preparing a design, at the re- quest of the committee, for the suitable adornment of Temple Bar on the occasion. One private speculator is said to have engaged almost every pifice of vacant ground on the line of route upon which to erect stands for spectators. The Merchant Taylors' and the Stationers' Companies are about to put up tiers of seats for the accommodation of their friends on vacant sites belong- ing to them on the northern side of Ludgate Hill, and the Corporation have engaged to provide accomsaoda- tion for about 1,500 or 2,000 people on a plot of ground on the western side of De Keyser's Hotel at the eastern end of and fronting the Victoria embankment, the tickets for which will be at the disposal of members of the Common Council.

MINES DRAINAGE BILL.-The North Staffordshire Mines Drainage Bill was down on Mr. Frere's list to pass the Standing Orders of the House of Commons but the Earl of Macclesfield and others having memo- rialised and made certain allegations of noncompliance with due Parliamentary notice, the promoters with- drew the bill, which will consequently be dropped this session. STRIKE IN THE FOREST OF DEAN.—The agitation in the Forest of Dean for higher wages, shorter time, and other advantages has resulted in another strike. Some twelve hundred men in the employ of the Messrs. Brain, at Trafalgar, and Messrs. Barrett and Crawshay, at Crab Tree-hill, turned out on Monday, and it is feared that their example will be follawed by others. The masters offered an advance of ten per cent. and to continue the use of the machine for registering the weights of coals till the end of the month to allow time for a settlement of the questions in dispute, but the men refused to listen to their proposals, and seem determined to accept nothing short of their demands.

THE LATE EARL OF MAYO. The murdered Earl, who was the eldest of the seven sons of Robert, fifth Lord Mayo (for some years one of the Representatives Peers for Ireland), was born in the city of Dublin on the 21stiof February, 1822, so that he was within a few days of completing the fiftieth year of his age. His mother was Anne Charlotte, only child of the late Hon. John Jocelyn, and granddaughter of Robert, first Earl of Roden. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his degree as Bachelor and Master of Arts in the regular course, and was created a Doctor of Laws in 1852, and entered Parliament at the General Election ef 1847 in the Conservative interest as one of the members for the County of Kildare. He did not, however, again contest that county in 1852, but was content to sit during the next Parliament as member for the borosgh of' Coleraine. He continued to represent Coleraine down to the General Election of 1857, when he transferred his services to the electors of Cocker- mouth. He was Chief Secretary for Ireland under Lord Derby's first Administration from March to December, 1852, again under his second Adminis- tration in 1858, and for the third time in 1866. Lord Mayo's accession to the family honours in the month of August, 1867, did not remove him from the House of Commons, as he was not a Peer of England or of the United Kingdom. Lord Mayo was a popular and influential member of the Lower House, and he had shown considerable capacity for public business in his administration of Irish affairs but his nomination by Mr. Disraeli to the im- portant post of Viceroy of India, certainly came as a sur- prise upon the world. It is fair to say Lord Mayo amply justified his nomination, and that he proved him- self an able as well as a popular Governor-General. Lord Lawrenct, his predecessor, had failed to gratify the society of Calcutta; he was careless of show, of dress, and of all the requirements of fashionable life. When Lord Mayo arrived the face of Society was changed as if by magic. Without being of a gay, Lord Mayo was of a thoroughly genial disposition. The Government House became again, as in the old time, the centre of attraction, and Lord Mayo soon became the most popu- lar man in the capital. Moreover, Lord Mayo very early adopted the regolutioii-ilnd he has tinforunately lost his life in carrying that resolution into effect-of see- ing as much as possible of his extensive dominions with his own eyes. He shared the reluctance of all his predecessors to remain in Calcutta, but, unlike them all, lie spent his holidays, not in the cool retreats of Simla, but in excursions through every part of the provinces. An- other point to which he attached great importance was to make the acquaintance of the native chiefs. When- ever there was an opportunity of holding a dhurbar where independent and semi-independent rajahs of the North-west provinces could be brought together, there Lord Mayo would assemble large bodies of British troops, and by a display «f magnificence and state, unusual in th« case of former Viceroys, impress these Orientalists with a visible sign of the irresistible might of British power. But these were only the outward and visible shows of his policy. The real and substantial effects of it were such as to gain the approbation of his most jealous rivals. He carried out his policy with such singleness of purpose, that envy was, ere long, lost in admiration, and it was admitted, long before the tragedy which has cut short his brilliant career, that he was the best and m«st successful admiaistrator India has seen since the days of Dalhousie. He married in October, 1848, tho days of Dalhousie. He married in October, 1848, the Hon. Blanche Julia Wyndham, fourth daughter of George, first Lord Leconfield, by whom he has left a family of two daughters and four sons, all under age. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Dermot Robert Wyndham, Lord Naas, a cornet in the 10th Hussars, who was bora in July, 1851, and was educated at Eton.

EDUCATION IN JERSEY. Consequent upon the withdrawal by the Education Committee of the Privy Council of the government grants hitherto allowed to certain elementary schools of Jersey, the States of that island find themselves compelled to provide for the support of 25 schools, attended by 2000 children, by an annual allocation of £ 900. Though the government withdrew its grant, to which the island, not contributing to the Imperial revenue, was not entitled, it offered to send an inspector once a year on condition of the Jersey authorities meeting the expenses of inspection, and also of the schools conforming with the Elementary Education Act of 1870. On Friday the States unanimously adopted the preamble of a bill meeting their lordships' views, and likewiss passed two of its six clauses, but time not allowing further progress they adjourned the sitting till Tuesday.

THE LOOSHAI EXPEDITION. A letter from the Looshai forces, Cachar column, de- scribes the commissariat rations as execrable beef disgusting, pork and mutton not much better. All of- L ficers who could face the food have suffered severely from diarrhcea, dysentery, or some sort of bowel com- plaint. And a contemporary, not prone to find fault, unnecessarily says We really think government should direct a searching inquiry into this matter. The public are willing to pay for all necessary operations but they have a right to demand that their officers, who are exposing their lives and constitutions, living in grass huts, sleeping on damp ground, and sacrincing every comfort in the cause of the service, should have some- what more care taken of them than a terrier in civilizad life. A terrier, indeed, would probably decline the food provided by the commissariat for the officers of the Looshai expedition." —————

THE PRINCE OF WALES. In taking leave at Windsor on Monday prior to the journey to Osborne, the Prince of Wales very cordially thanked the municipal authorities for the kind recep- tion which they had accorded him on his first visit to the Royal borough after his severe illness. In reply, the Mayor said: 11 With all her Majesty's subjects throughout the British Empire, the Corporation and in- habitants of Windsor felt the mest intense anxiety during the serious illness of your Royal Highness, and we feel extreme gratitude to find that your Royal High- ness has regained so much strength and vigour. In re- ference to her Royal Highness, the Princess, you will permit me to say, she is a universal favourite, and we are extremely grateful to find that the fatigue and anxiety she must have necessarily undergone have not had, pro- videntially, such an effect upon her as we might have anticipated." Their Royal Highnesses are expected to remain at Osborne till the 20th or 22nd, and to re- turn to Windsor Castle.

DOUBTFUL MUTTON.- When you ask for Australian mutton, take the advice given by the proprietors of a certain patent starch—see that you get it. A gentleman who had purchased a 61bs. tin found at the bottom thereof certain bones which had certainly sever carried wool. He forwarded them to the office of Land and Water, but Mr. Frank Buckland, the editor of that journal, is discreetly silent as to their origin. What were they ? It is to be hoped the unpleasant doubt will be solved. CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT ACT.—At the Notting- ham Shire-hall, a collier, named Thomas Cockayne, appeared on remand, charged under the Criminal Law Amendment Act with intimidating with a view to coerce Alfred Godber, another collier, to leave his employ- ment, on the 26th of January last. Both the men had been employed at the Babbington Colliery, Bul-well, near Nottingham. About five o'clock on the morning in question complainant was proceeding to his work, when he was met by about twenty-five of the colliers, who told him they were sticking out for the nine hours' system, and requested him not to go to work. Defendant, who was with the men, stepped up to com- plainant, holding a bottle in his hand, and said, If you go another yard, I'll split your head with this bottle." The consequence was the complainant did not go to his work that day. The Bench sentenced Cockayne to three weeks' imprisonment with hard labour,
