The Star from Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, England • 4

THE STAB SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1881- EWa Cocoa. Grateful ana attitude of the Nonconformists in 1686, when James II. published his Declaration of Indulgence, Dr. Stoughton himself writes It must be confessed that clear and distinct argumentative attacks upon the common foe of Protestantism from the Dissenting point of view, counled with the assertion of Empire. It would be desirable that there should be in the federation a common commer-ci-il policy, and unrestricted free trade, though this was not essential to a common defence.

In concluding an elaborate review of his subject, Mr. Labilliere remarked that in the early annals of the 20th century would have to be recorded the grandest success, or most lamentable failure, of a nation to utilise the most splendid materials the world ever tfurnished for constructing the best and greatest of its empires adding that the words of the preambe of the writ of King Edward FRENCH IMPORT DUTIES. A return is published showing in English weights and money the import duties now leviable in Prance upon live stock and tural produce, and those which would I leviable under the new French general taritt. An introduction" to the return states that comparing the rates of Custom duty to be levied in France on live stock and agricultural produce under the new general tariff duties under the present conventional tariff, it will be noticed that only a few descriptions of five animals are enumerated in the conventional tariff, the greater number consequently having been subject to tbe rates of the old general tarift. As regards the duties on horses, there has been a small reduction, and a large one in muh'8 but the duties on most other kinds of dve stot have been increased, oxen now paying 12s.

each instead of 2s. lid. and cows 60. 51. instead of Is.

live and dead game, fo and turtles, moreover, pay 8s. per instead of being free of duty as formerly Fresh Mr. Chamberlain admitted the existenoe of defects in the present patent laws, and especially two the monopoly of patents passed into the hands of capitalists rather than of inventors, and the 'fees, especially in the initial stages, were excessive. There ought, also, to be a protection against frivolous and useless patents. The object of a good patent law should be to secure adequate remuneration to inventors to stimulate invention and to avoid the promotion of a monopoly and as to the duration of a patent, considering that there was power to renew it, he thought fourteen years ample.

But he admitted that the cr.sx of the question was the expense of patents, aul though bo thought too much importance bad been attributed to the cheapness or the American system, he agreed that the fees should not ex ceed the working expenses of the Patent Olfice. He also thought that the term of provisional protection should be extended in order to allow a longer time for the completion of the specification, and that the second payment might be deferred until the fifth year. But, on the whole he contended that the patent law should be dealt with by the Government, though he could not give any pledge as to when they would take it in hand. In the discussion which followed, Mr. A.

Brown supported the Bill Mr. Gregory, Mr. J. Howard, Mr. H.

Palmer, and Mr. Playfair dwelt on the necessity for efficient examination 4 M'BN PIEBRO. JJQTJVHLM.

A middle-aged gentleman, Richard Cutbbert Noakes, a solicitor ot Loudon, and for many years connected with the Customs, was charged before tbe Brighton Borough justices on Monday with obtaining money by false pretences. The evidence went to show that Prisoner had been residing in Roek-gardens, Brighton, on a visit, and hud been dealing with a tradesman, to whom he presented a draft for 8 drawn by himself upon Mr. Horace Gray, of the firm of Gray and Son, engineers, of Fen-church-street and Liu-ehouse also that he had obtained a cheque for 10 from Dr. Halifax (to whom his family bad been known for half a century) in exchange for a draft by himself upon Mr. Gray.

The latter proved that Prisoner had no authority to draw upon him, and had no connection with him. Prisoner was introduced to him by a friend of his (Witness's) named Fitzmaurice, with whom Witness bad offices in Threadneedle-street. That was about two years ago, and about 18 months ago Prisoner called upon him stating that be bad received a crossed cheque for 5, and, having no banking account of his own, asked Witness to take it and allow him (Prisoner) to draw upon him to that amount. He did-so, and since tbat he had received notices of between 20 and 30 drafts being presented at his bankers'. None of those witness had ever honoured except the 5 which he had given Prisoner permission to draw.

In the case of the draft for 8 10s. in question, Prisoner paid an account of 8s. receiving tbe balance in cash and with respect to the draft for 10 which he got exchanged by Dr. Hallifax for the latter's cheque, Dr. Hallifax stopped payment of it at tbe bank, but Prisoner cashed it at a wine-merchant's office instead of presenting it at the bank.

He was committed for trial on both charges, but admitted to bail. A HINT TO AGRICULTURISTS. What may turn out to be a useful hint is given to British agriculturists by Consul Henderson in his commercial report on Boston for the past year. He states that fanners in different parts of the United States have recently-turned their attention to the subject of ensilage," or the preservation of green food for cattle as winter food. The last name invented for this fodder is cowkrant and it is prepared by cutting green fodder of different kinds when well matured, chopping it into lengths of about an inch, and storing and pressing it down in watertight pits, which are afterwards made air-tight also.

It is stated, on what seems to be unobjectionable evidence, that this food is eagerly eaten by cattle, and produces the highest condition in them that with milch cows it increases the quantity of milk far beyond dry food and that having undergone a slight fermentation, it improves tbe quality or the milk even as compared with the same fodder fresh from the field. THE ROYAL WARRANT OF JULY, 1872. Lord Lewisham will ask the Secretary for War to-morrow night whether it is a fact that ou the 5th of July, 1872, a royal warrant was issued promoting all the first captains of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers to the rank of major, thereby superseding some 600 captains of cavalry aud infantry who were their seniors in the mny and, whether, on the 20th of May, 1873, another royal warrant was issued promoting about 200 of the superseded captains to the rank of major, with effect from the 5th of July, 1872, thereby reinstating tnem in tbeir former relative positions with regard to the majors of artillery knd engineers and, if so, as the warrant of the 20th of May, 1873, virtually recognized the injustice caused by tbe warrant of tbe 5th of July, 1872, and partially remedied it, whether it is proposed te complete tbe remedy commenced in 1873 by promoting all tbe other superseded captains to brevet majorities witb effect roin the 5th of July, 1875, and to confer on them the brevet rank of Lieutenant Colonel when the officer of artillery or engineers who was next below them on the 4th of July, 1872, obtains that rank; or if not, whether any reason can be shown why it is not desirable to do so. EMIGRATION FUoM THE MERSEY. Last month 38,263 emigrants (22,097 whom were foreigners) left the Mersey, being an increase of 2,623 on tbe month of April this year and of 8,971 on May, 1880.

The number for the expired five mouths of this year is nearly 15,000 over that for the corresponding period of last year. GUERNSEY STEAM TRAMWAY. TIME TABLE. Until further notice the cars are intended to leave as follows From St. Peter-Port.

From St. Sampson's. Washington that a Treaty has been signed between Costa Rica and Colombia to secure European arbitration upon the question of the ownership of the territory upon the Isthmus wbicb is in dispute. The ohject is to obtain a final settlement of tbe boundary line between the States named. The Treaty pledges the disputants to submit the question first, to the King of the Belgians if he refuses them to the King of Spain and the third alternative isto the President of the Argentine Republic.

Neither of the States concerned has made any official communication of the Treaty to the United States. It is hoped that the proposed arbitrators will decline to act if they accept the offer, the Government of Washington will enter a protest against their acting. The United States claim tbe rights of a virtual protectorate over the States upon the Isthmus of Panama as far as to the northern boundaries of the province of Cbiriqui and that gutm-sazerainty will not be relinquished, whatever decision the European arbitrator may come to. It is understood that M. de Lesseps is the author of the arbitration scheme, with a view to concentrate upon the Isthmus a European influence as against that of tbe United States, which is antagonistic to the proposed Canal.

It is reported from Paris that the ex-Queen Isabella and the Kings of Spain and Belgium are the principal holders of the stock in the Panama Canal. The negotiations are nearly complete for the purchase by M. de Lesseps, on behalf of a French combination, of the Panama Railroad. As the Government of Colombia is largely dependent upon the revenue of this line, its possession by foreign holders would greatly influence the action of Colombia and would be regarded with great disfavour at Washington. M.

de Lesseps is believed to design to force the hand of the United States, with a view to compel a compromise, or to restrain the proceedings of the Washington combinations. The Government reports that since the process began of converting the Five per Cent. Stock into Three and a Half per Cent. Bonds, eight hundred and eighty millions of dollars hae passed through this operation, and it is believed that tbe whole will be accomplished by August. An auction sale of yearlings, the property of Mr.

Welch, tbe breeder of Parole and Iroquois, has taken place on the American Horse Exchange. The young stock were chiefly by English sires. The highest prices were fetched by the Alarm fillies, which ranged from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars each. Over twenty leading trades are now pledged to Boycott the beer of those masters who still oppose the men on strike. The brewers of the west are aiding the masters in the east.

Seven hundred lager beer saloons exhibit trades union signs in their windows and on tbeir counters. The strike promises to develop into a serious affair. Yesterday Baron Hugo Malapert, son of the High Chamberlain to the Emperor of Germany, committed suicide by leaping from the top of the tower of the Chicago Waterworks, which is one hundred and seventy feet high. A feature upon the Money Market to-day has been the setting in of a sharp reaction against the bulls," and a general fall in values. THE WAIFS AND STRAYS.

Mr. Editor, Will you let me say something to your readers, and especially to those of them who belong to tbe Church of England If what I have to say is not new, it is, at least, true. I want to ask them if they, as Churchmen and Church women, ever bestow a thought on those waifs and strays of humanity cast up at their doors by the tides of adverse fortune, crime, and death Do they know that these waifs and strays have hitherto been, for the most part, claimed aB salvage by tbe Nonconformists, or else left to perish Do thev know that the Church of England has scarcely touched them Do they know that Mr. Geoige Muller has come by, and Dr. Barnardo has come by, and Mr.

Stephenson has come by, and Mr. Stephenson has come by, and Mr. I Spurgeon has come by, and there have been so many waits and strays the less after these good men have turned the corner And do they know any archbishop, bishop, archdeacon, canon, or rural dean who has diminished the waifs and strays by his coming by There is a home in London even for lost dogs, but anybody who wanted to find the Church of England Central Home for Lost Children would not find it in the longest summer day. Now, Mr. Editor, I am of opinion that this state of things ought not so to be.

If you inset this letter, I take it you also are of opinion that this state of things ought not so to be. And I am equally sure that every honest Nonconformist will endorse our view and agree that this state of things ought not so to be. Then let us remedy it. Some of us have already put our bands to tbe work, and we call on Churchmen and Church women of every degree to help us. We are going to have a Central Home in London for children, and we want to have many smaller homes in the country.

We want a centre of action in every diocese (London, Oxford, Rochester and Salisbury have begun), and we want a responsiole representative aud some collectors in every parish. We only ask that the Church of England shall in the, future take care that, so long as she lasts, there shall be homes for lost children, under her care, as well as homes for lost dogs. I am, yours obediently, A Sthay. P.S. Mr.

E. de M. Rudolf, Eldon School, 99, Wandsworth Road, London, will answer letters from the Metropolitan and South Eastern Dioceses, and Mr. J. H.

Shayler, Newland Cottage, Newland, Witney, Oxon, will do the same for the South West, the Midlands, and the North. (Enclose stamped addressed envelope for reply). POLITICAL ORGANISATION OF THE EMPIRE. A paper on this subject was read yesterday evening before the Royal Colonial Institute, at the Grosvenor Gallery Library, New Bond street, Mr. Francis P.

Labilliere the chair being filled by Sir Alexander T. GaL. Mr. Labilliere said, the organisation of the defences of the Empire was a question of great and growing practical importance, and all of them over and above those required for the purposes of mere provincial police should be based upon a uniform and comprehensive Imperial system. Joint defence must be a joint expense.

Each portion, of the Empire would have to contribute its fair share, and be entitled to a voice in the expenditure. Given a system of point defence, it followed that all. those who helped to maintain it should have a voice in conduct ting those foreign relations when alone rendered national defence a necessity. Extensions of the Empire should be made by the Imperial Government, and on becoming of sufficient importance should be invested with powers of self government. The question of Church establishment in the United Kingdom was obviously one for the people of the United Kingdom.

Education should be left to tbe exclusive control of the government of the provinces of the Empire, and their control over the fiscal arrangements of their respective territories need in no way be effected by their contribution to the Imperial revenues for federal purposes. As regarded tbe laws of marriage, the be9t and most convenient arrangement would be that they should be regulated by the Federal Parliament for the whole Dr. Bernays, Public Analyst for Southward, on Cocoa When does Coco cea to be Uocoa I What are we to say to 0 coas containing mly 12 to 0 per cent of Cocoa If the public wo.ild receive advice, a slice of bread and butter with a thin drink of geuuine Cocoa would both wuolesocner and cheap wueu thickened and sweetened i'o e. a cuu of pure Cocoa use ocoaEs-ence, which is thin, refrealii g. ud three to tour tunes stronger than these adulterated articles.

Now, what seems even to Dr.

Stoughton, writing at the present day, to have been unworthy must, we may be sure, have seemed to contemporary Churchmen something far worse. At all events, it is quite certain that the apparent disposition of the Dissenters to meet James II. half-way in-his efforts to promote the interests of Popery put the finishing stroke to the unpopularity of Dissent in England alone made possible the penal legislation of Anne, alone impossible tbe repeal of the penal legislation of Charles. On the other side, tbe imprisonment and trial of the Seven Bishops completed the work which the death of Charles I. had begun, and riveted the hold of the Church on the affection of the people so firmly that not all the torpor, all the abuses, all the alleged worldliness of the clergy of the eighteenth century were able materially to shake it.

We now pass on to the Age of Reason to the rationalistic and Deistic controversies of tho eighteenth century. And here Dr. Stoughton's method -is too condensed to be historical He gradually falls into the style of an encyclopaedia, giving long strings of names with a few words attached to each, but little that deserves tbe name of criticism. He does not mention Law's answer to Tin dal's Christianity as Old as the Creation and he thinks that none of these learned divineB appreciated the true difference between natural and revealed religion. Hero, however, Dr.

Stoughton seems to be finding fault with writers for not doiug what they did not undertake to do. The question was how far human reason was to be our guide. It was a question of belief and the spirituality of the thing believed in was beyond the scope of the discussion. Coming on to the middle of the eighteenth century and taking up Wesley and Methodism, Dr. Stoughton again becomes fuller and his account of this movement is as good as any that we know of.

He is not of opinion that it would have been possible for the Church of England to have adopted and made use of Wesleyanism. If the Church, he says, had been sufficiently Methodistic for this, Methodism would never have existed in other words, if the spirit which Wesley strove to awaken had been already awake and active in the Church of England, there would have been no reason why Wesley sholud have acted as be did. He would have gone through life as a zealous and eloquent parish clergyman, if he had not risen to tbe Bench, and his name perhaps alone would have survived. There is truth in this view of the case. But it is not the whole truth.

What is meant, when the Church of England is reproached with having thrown away in John Wesley a valuable soldier and servant, is that she failed to discern her true interests when he first began to make himself known. There was no necessity for the Church of England to have been other than 6he was in order that she might have turned his enthusiasm to good account. If the Bishops had encouraged him the rest would have followed. He would then have been known, perhaps, as the leader of a great party in tbe Church, like Simeon or Pusey, instead of being the founder of a powerful sect outside her. 3ut tbe Anglican Bishops were not men of this temper.

They had not the worldly wisdom of Romanism, and would have shrunk from using men as tools whose system they did not really approve of. That the English clergy were, and still in a great measure are, such men, has been both tbe strength and tbe weakness of tbe Church of England. Gentlemen, scholars, and men of taste and refinement, they have mainly adapted themselves to the wants of a society which prizes common sense and unobtrusive piety above enthusiasm aud fauaticism. But the same qualities tailed them at a later period, when the development of manufacture created a new population in our large tovns, demanding more sensational treatment and uinfluenced by the social traditions which bound the rural classes to the clergy. Down to the first quarter of the present century, however, tbe Church maintained her ground in the strength of that reaction which we hava already noticed.

Dr. Stoughton draws a picture of the Church of England in the eighteenth century with which we are all familiar. Tte people were immoral, and therefore the Church was inefficient and what jve may infer from this fact is corroborated by contemporary literature. This is an old story, and a long story too long for investigation here. It is sufficient to say that we know not on what evidence it is pretended that the middle and lower classes in the eighteenth century were more immoral than they are in the nineteenth.

And if tbe upper classes were so, it was not for want of admonition since we know that when morals were at their worst London and other great towns were famous for preachers whose churches were open for daily service as they are now. The truth is that the licentiousness which follows all revolutions swept everything before it for a time after 1688. By tbe middle of the century the wave had spent its force, and the ebb began. But all this only applies to the upper stratum of society all below were, we fancy, neither worse nor better than they are now. As for the evidence of literature, that cute both ways.

And, more than that, we must not be misled by caricatures. The cartoons of Punch, though useful to the future historian, are not history. The influence of religion upon con duct, though apparently one of the most familiar and well-worn of all questions, is not often considered very seriously and there may be a reason for this in the certainty that whenever it is so considered it eivea risR tn reflections of a very inconvenient character. St. James's Gazette.

THE UNITED STATES. New YORK, Wednesday. It is perhaps desirable to repeat that the American public are not in the least degree excited about the state of affairs in Ireland. They regard the situation rather with a feeling of wonder than of sympathy. The general opinion is altogether against Mr.

Parnell, and the leaders of the revolutionary party are utterly discredited here. They obtain no political distinctions and secure no offices. O'Donovan Rossa's utterances receives fictitious importance only from the reports telegraphed from England. Nobody here has paid tbe slightest attention to his statement res-pecting the Doterel. It was not believed, and people were surprised that the English naval authorities should think it worth while to take the trouble to contradict it.

The weekly organ of tbe Penians, whose statements are frequently telegraphed to Europe, is never seen outside Communistic circles, any more than the Preiheit was in London It is not on sale at any of the railway book -stalls, and is rarely seen except at the stalls of the lowest newagents.

Hannen and a special jury, was commenced the case of Hay ward v. Clough and continued on Wednesday. It was a probate suit, in which the Plaintiff propounds the will of the late Mr. John Robert Clough, who died at Bond-street, Bath, on the 29th July of last year. The will propounded by the Plaintiff is dated March 6, 1877, and is opposed by Defendant, a brother of the Testator's on the usual grounds of improper execution, incapa city, that the Testator did not know or understand the contents of the will, and that it was obtained by undue influence.

He also set up a will executed by the Testator in 1871, under which he took considerable interest. Dr. Tristram, Q.C., and Mr. Snagge were counsel for the Plaintiffs arid Mr. Inderwick, Q.C., and Mr.

Baford were for the Defendant. It appeared that the Cloughs are an old family, and that they have been established as gunsmiths at Bath for over a century. The father of the Testator died in 1860, leaving some 1000, which he divided among his family, which consisted of three sons and a daughter. The Testator and the Defendant carried on their father's business, and the third son died in 1868. It appeared that in 1875 the Testator had a severe illness, which incapacitated him from attending to business for four or five years.

On the 23rd of December, 1876, he executed a will in which the Plaintiff, his sister, and tbe Defendant, his brother, shared in the proceeds of the Testator's estate pretty equal'y. In 1877, he executed a codicil ta that will by which the brother's share was somewhat increased, and on the 6th of March of the last-mentioned year, he executed the will which the Plaintiffs now propounded, and by which the sister's share was consiedrably increased. This will and previous will and codicil the Defendant disputes, and sets up the will of 1871, which was executed at a time when there was no doubt as to the Testator's capacity. The estate was stated to be worth about 3000. On the conclusion of the Plaintiffs case in support of the will, Mr.

Inderwick, on the part of the Defendant, opened the case against it. He stated that the contention on the part of the Plaintiff was that the Testator was anxious to have the will of March, 1877, and that he was of perfect capacity when he executed that document. He should be able on the other hand to show that the Testator was never anxious to have such a will executed, and that when it was executed he was not of competent testamentary capacity. He should call the medical gentleman who had attended the Testator, and the nurses who had waited upon him, and others, who would state the condition in which they found the Testator, in order to show that after November, 1876, the Testator was never capable of transacting business. In support of this statement he called Dr.

Carter, who baid he was a physicia 1 in practice at Bath. Be first attended the Testator in 1872, aud after that he attended him down to his death. He was not a strong man physically or mentally. He was the family physician and attended the Testator's mother. He had an epileptic fit in August, 1876, and after that he became more reticent and incoherent in his talk.

In September following he had several fits, which materially affected his mind. In December, 1876, he should say he was not capable of transacting business. He was easily persuaded and could be made to do anything. He was attesting wituessto the codicil of January 7, 1877, but he did not know that it was a testamentary document. If he bad he would not have signed it.

He thought it was a mere matter of business agreed upon by the whole of the family, who were all present at the time. The Testators' mother died a few days after that document was signed. The Testator could not be made to understand his mother's death. He never could realise it. Mrs.

Haywood told Witness that her brother wished to make a will in her favour, and asked him to speak to her brother on the subject. Witness did so, hut he could never get the Testator to understand anything about it. He told Mrs. Haywood that her brother was totally incompetent to make a will, and that he would not attest a will for him. On the 7th March, 1877, Mrs.

Hay wjod told him that her brother had executed a will the previous day, when Witness told her it was a pity he had done so, as it was not worth the paper it was written on. In cross-examination Dr. Carter stated that he could not conceive it possible that at that time the Testator could have gone to a solicitor's office and given him instructions for a will. After Dr. Carter's evidence the Jury stopped the case considering that there was no evidence to support the will propounded by the Plaintiff.

In consequeence of this interference of the Jury tbe learned judge put issues in the case to them, stating that tbe Testator appeared from the evidence to have resembled clay in the hand of the potter. The Jury gave a verdict against the will propounded by the Plaintiff, but found that the will of 1871 set up by the Defendant was duly executed, and that the Testator was at the time of competent capacity. In terms of this verdict tbe Court pronounced against tbe will propounded by the Plaintiff aud in favour of the will of 1871 set up by the Defendant. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Wednesday. In the House of Commons, Mr. Anderson moved the second reading of his Bill for the reform of the law relating to patents for inventions. Pointing to the fact that the most important modern inventions, scientific as well as mechanical, were the work of Americans, Mr. Anderson attributed this result to the operation of the more liberal patent laws of the United States.

By his Bill, therefore, he proposed to create paid Commissioners to administer the patent laws, to extend the duration of patents from fourteen to twenty-one years, grant a term of grace for the periodic payment at the price of a fine, and materially reduce the fees. The Bill also provided that where the Crown took the use of an invention it should not have the sole decision as to its value and the renumeration ti be given to the patentee that matter should be referred to the arbitration. Mr. Dilwyn objected to the Bill as designed solely in tbe interest of inventors, aud moved its rejection.

On the order for Committee on the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday Wales) Bill, Carbutt moved that it be an instruction to the Committee to include Monmouthshire in the provisions of the Bill, on the ground that it was virtually a Welsh county. Being opposed by Sir Henry James, the motion was not pressed. Mr.

Waton, however, subsequently moved that the House go into Committee on the Bill that day six months, which was negatived by 123 to 29. A motion to exclude Cardiff from the operations of the Bill was also negatived by 118 to 27. A clause permitting the sale of intoxicating liquors at railway-stations on Sundays having been inserted, the Bill passed through Committee. Tbe Petty Sessions Clerks (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, and the other orders having been disposed of, tho House adjourned at six. RUSSIA AND THE TURKOMANS.

With reference to the negotiations between the Russian authorities at St. Petersburg and the Turkoman deiagates, the Times' correspondent says The arrangement which the Merv Turkomans who seem desirous of Russia's patronage, foreseeing, no doubt, the necessity for it sooner or later, would be inclined to accept has become much more clearly defined. It is stated that they wish above all things to be allowed to retain their political independence and not to have a Russian Minister tiesident at their capital. The glowing prospect held out of Russian gold and position does not seduce them to entertain the desire that their young chieftains, after the example of Tikmar Sirdar's son, should all enter the Russian array. They prefer not to enrol themselves at all in the Russian military service.

Nor do the advantages of education incline them towards accepting Russian schools and schoolmasters for the youog braves of their tribe. In short, any kind of tutelage would evidently be obnoxious. What they would be inclined to agree to appears to be a kind of offensive and defensive alliance but while they would willingly employ troops of their own in putting down marauding attacks upon Russian subjects and territory from their side of the country, they could not undertake to fight outside of their own region on Russia's account. And in order that Russia should assure herself that this was being done, and that nothing anti-Russian was taking place, the Mervians would agreee to an officer being stationed at some near point of observation. The Merv district would also be free to Russians, and all assistance would be given.

This seems to be the position of affairs at this moment but seeing the power and influence which must attend the wishes of issia, as op-posal to those of the Turkomans of Vlerv, it is not at all advisable to conclude that the latter party will have it all their own way. EXTENSIVE ttOBBERY OF JEWELLERY-At Bow-street on Thursday, Eugene Pate-reau, aged thirty-two, hairdresser, of 53, Greek Street, Soho, Alexis Lindais, aged thirty-one. bootmaker, of 82, Wardour-street, and Marguerite aged 30, a dressmaker, were charged upon an extradition warrant before Mr-Flowers with being concerned in burglari enteriug thu house of M.

Eugene Patereau was carrying a brown paper parcel, smaller than tbe one with which he entered. The witness addressed him, and said he should arrest him but, finding that he did not understand English, opened the parcel, which was found to contain cigars. Inspector Greenham came up at that, time, a conversation took place, and the pri soners were taken into custody. At the police station the witness searched Patereau, and found upon bim an article of jewellery and 6 Is. in money.

The witness returned with the other officer to the tobacconist's shop, ami received from the proprietor the parcel of jewellery produced. Subsequently the witness went with Sergeant Moser to the address gi ven by Alexis Liudais, 82, Wardour-street, and there made a search. In a couch on the third floor parcels of jewellery were found concealed. Tbe Honore was present when the search was made. Camille Casimir Breton, tobacconist, of 19, Clerckenwell-road, deposed that he knew the three prisoners.

STOUGHTON'S CHURCH HISTORY From time to time during the last twenty years Dr. Stonghton has been giving to the world instalments of the present work in tho shape certain volumes, entitled respectively "The Church of the Civil War, The Church of the Restoration," etc. and these are now brought together for the first time in one harmonious whole." Dr. Stougbton is a man of too great ability and learning not to have written a useful book while his efforts at impartiality have been to this extant successful, that he has overcome the tendency to vilify individuals which is more noticeable in writers of his way of thinking than in those to whom he is opposed. He is almost always temperate, candid, and indulgent to errors which spring from sincerity and earnestness.

And when we add that his reading is wide, and that his History of Religion has not been written in a hurry, we have said enough to show that it is likely to possess considerable value. Its defects are dryness, and by consequence a certain degree of dalness. The style is insipid and, as Dr. Stougbton has deliberately avoided generalization, though in the religious history of a century and a half there was ample room for it, we cannot lay the book down with any sense of abiding satisfaction. A criticism of a broader character has also to be pronounced.

Dr. Stoughton's volumes are not so uauch a history of religion as a history of Dissent. This is, perhaps, very natural, and hardly, it may be, matter for reproach. We would merely point out to our readers that they are not to expect in Dr. Stoughton's work one of thw6 comprehensive surveys which bring an author the reputation of a classic, nor that high judicial impartiality which belongs to a Runke or a Hallam.

As it was difficult, perhaps, for Dr. Stoughton to write a history of religion in which a space altogether disproportion to its position in the religious life of England should not be allotted to Dissent, so it may have been difficult to the verge of impossibility for him to appreciate the poiut of view from which the old Auglican clergy (whom he is quite wrong in supposing to have originated with tbe Stuarts) regarded tbe English Reformation, though be lias at times succeeded in catching glimpses of it. "Their notion was," says he, "that the Church of the preseut and future should retain a close connection indeed, an identity with the Church of the past; the only change resembling that of a person who exchanges filthy garments for robes of beauty." We know not whether the illustration has bet-n suggested by Dr. Hook "The Church remained the same after it was reformed as it was before just as a man remains the same after he has washed his face as he was before." But 9r. Stoughton's mistake lies in imputing this notion to the Elizabethan and Caroline divines as a purely subjective one.

It was not their notion that this Bbould be the position of the Church. It was their belief that it was so. They believed in this identity, or rather community, as an objective fact. And such was the belief of the great mass of the English people. It is the imperfect conception of this truth which vitiates Dr.

Stoughton's argument at many points. The opposite view the Low Church, Genevan, Puritan, call it what you will was imported into England from abroad by the English Churchmen who fled from the Marian persecution. It was not of native growth, but was grafted on to the Church of England in tbe second stage of the Reformation, and speedily attained such proportions that it threatened to overran and hide from view the original stem. The struggle in the early part of tbe seventeenth century was the struggle of the Church of England to throw it o'ti. And without for an insttnt offering any opinion on the theological or ecclesiastical theories involved in it, we only desire to point out the historic error of which those are guilty who represent the two parties as coeval and co-ordinate, and each with an equal locus standiio the Church of England.

The Puritan and the Dissenter was the exotic the Churchman who, rejecting merely Roman, held fast to purely Catholic, doctrines, represented the old national Church. The blunders and excesses of Laud and Charles I. have in our own day created a prejudice against the Church of the period which has materially assisted her enemies in keeping this truth out of sight. But it was never entirely forgotten and when reasserted more emphatically after 1833, tbe old-fashioned High Churchmen at once said that it was nothing new to them. We agree with Dr.

Stoughton that misgo-vernment both in Church and State had in 1641 alienated considerable sections of the people from the ancient system. But the defection was only temporary. With the execution of Charles I. a reaction set in, which lasted for two hundred years and, as we have only space to notice Dr. Stoughton's views at certain critical points in the period which he has selected for illustration, we will pass on at once to the Restoration and the Revolution events described by our author with considerable fulness, though here again we think he fails, to grasp the dominant ideas which moulded the character of each.

We must remember that- in 1641 the nation had no experience of Puritan supremacy or of Republican govern ment. In 1660 they had this. Had the English people known on the threshbold of tbe Civil War what the Puritan and Republican parties would do if they got tbe upper hand, it is more than likely that there would have been no civil war at all or none that the Government would not have put down as easily as it did Monmouth's rebellion. In 1660 all this had happened and the predominant object of the whole constitutional party was to take care that it shomd not happen again. The Act of Uniformity, the Corporation Act, and the Test Act, all bad their origin in this not unnatural desire.

Hut Dr. Stoiibt.m does not seem to see this, ue seems to see in these and other measures ci.be. 'Jiere bigotry or mere retaliation.
