This custom dates itself from the time of chivalry. These valiant souls, that were accustomed in the Held to share together the same tent, bed and table, were admitted, during the winter quartern,with the same cor diality, into one another’s castles, And then there might be seen, sleeping in one and. the same bed, the master of the castle, his spouse,' his chilrtron, and the knights his guests, and even along with the rest the favorite dog.

(From tho l’ull Mall Gazette, October 2T.| Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the clergy of the Diocese of Carlisle was hold in Carlisle Abbey,for the purpose of adopting an address of condolence to-the Hon. Mrs. Waldegrave, widow of the late Bishop of Carlisle. There frnro about a hundred clergymen present. Chancellor Burton, who presided, announced in opening tho proceedings that he had re ceived a requisition, signed by the Dean of Carlisle and other clergymen, requesting him to call a meeting of clergy at an early day for the purpose of adopting an address to tho Queen, praying that she would cancel the appointment of Dr.-temple to the See of Exeter. The meeting in the first instance proeeedcd to discuss and adopt an address of condolence; and then Chancel lor Burton Introduced the subject of Dr. Tem ple’s appointment. He urged that the proper course to take was to petition the Queen. In many places the Dean and Chapter of Exeter had been memorialized to refuse the election of Dr. Temple, but the clergy had no right to ask the Dean and Chapter of Exeter to disobey the law, and pnt themselves in a position to incur the very heaviest pen alty of its infraction. Moreover, those who called upon them to disobey the law put themselves in the same position with the Dean and Chapter, and were equally liable to the penalty of preieinunire, as aiders and abettors. Therefore, the proper course was to appeal to the Queen, from whom the appointment emanated. He bad always been of the opinion that the crown was tho proper quarter from which the appointment of bishops should emanate, hut he complained that in point of fact the appointment of bishops did not rest with the crown but with the. Prime M inister, and that they were gene rally chosen as political partisans and not as efficient men to administer the affairs of the diocese. The Dean of Carlisle then moved the adoption of a petition to the Queen, setting forth that in the opinion of the clergy of the diocese the appointment of Dr. Temple to the See of Exeter would be detrimental to the in terests of truth aud godliness, and would oeca tion grave umbrage to a great many of. her Majesty’s pious and loyal subjects, ’ lay and clerical, and prayiDg that her Majesty would he pleased to cancel the nomination. Theliev. W.pacree {after some discussion) opposed the petition on the ground that, finding fault with the Queen, who had acted upon the ad vice of iter responsible ministers,” would be disloyal and unconstitutiondl. The Chan-' cellor, Burton, replied to these objections, and added that Dr. Temple was a very unfit man for the bishopric. He himself would not appoint Dr. Temple his curate if he applied for the appointment. The Dean of Carlisle thOngbt it was bettor after what had occurred that the petition should be with drawn. Accordingly, after some further dis cussion, the doemnent was so altered as to deprive it of any tiiocesan character, and it was arranged that it should be open for the signature of any individual clergymen who might choose to attach their names. Many of the clergy had by this time left the room, and out of the hundred clergy present at the meeting only twenty-four remained to sign the petition. Dr. Temple’s Reply to tbe Memorial from tbe Deanery of tbe East. (FTomtbe London Daily Sens, October 28.1 Runny, October 22,— Rev. tiir: I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the 20th, inclosing a memorial from the rural deanery of the East. I regret very much the anxiety and excitement described by the memorial . ists as caused by my nomination to the bishop ric of Exeter," and I should be glad if I could rightly do anything to allay these feel ings. But to allow that a bishop designate, or a rector designate, or any other person appointed to office in the ' Church, should, after nomination, be liable to he called on to make declarations other than those required by the law, would seem to me to be so senous an infringement of the Lawful liberty guaranteed to all ministers of the Church of England, tliat I really do not take the responsibility of giving it a sanction in my own case. My regret at being driven to this decision is much diminished by the con fidence that I feel that personal intercourse will rapidly dissipate most of. this uncomfort able feeUng, and that the rest to be desired will come of itself, though I am . not able to help it. Will you be kind enough to assure the memorialists that it is not from \want of concern, hut from a sense of duty, that I am unable to answer them, anil believe me, yours faithfully, F. Templk. jjgßcv. K. Buck, Rural Dean, &c. THE SPAMNH TROUBLES. Disagreements In the Cabinet—-The Ca bans and the Republicans. - [ Madrid Corrcapcndence of the London News. ] In the Cabinet the signs of the breaking up of this coalition continue." The Ministers can not agree about the estimates. They cannot agree about the bishops and clergy. They cannot agree about the monarch. Four out of the eight voted the other night for Montpensier, The other tour opposed him, but were not agreed as ■to another. Fer dinand of Portugal is still a favorite, and if he could ho got to say “Yes,” would be a “solution” even the Montpensierists would probably support. One final effort is to be made in that quarteiy ere thinking further of the Duke of Genoa. Uniortunately, the new Portuguese Ambassador, Sonor Andrado de Corbo, has not been very gracefully received by the Spanish government, owing to the fact of his namo not having been first sub mitted to the Spanish Minister of State. He was. said to have been a member of a Portu guese Cabinet who dealt hardly by some of the Spanish Liberals who fled to Portugal to escape the persecutions of tho late reign, arid expelled them from the territory. Tins, however, has been denied, and the report is that the omission complained of has been proved to the satisfaction of Prim and his Ministry to have been mere forgetfulness, and mutual explanations have been exchanged, to the strengthening of the friendly feeling be tween the two nations.- Tho return of tho Republican minority to the Cortes is spoken of as probable, but possibly “the wish Is father to the thought." There, is no truth in the report that Castelar lias been threatened with death hv his own party, and has fled to Portugal. Ho has not been out of Madrid •since the day he and his friends last sat in the Cortes, when tho famous Suspension bill was passed. Cubap affairs are again ex citing attention. I cannot learn anything more of the report that the Captain General had discovered a plotbetweeu the insurgents of that island and the republicans of Catalonia and Andalusia,- by which the latter, bound themselves to recognize the independence of Cuba. if the , republic triumphed in' Spain, in . return- for. countenance and monetary aid from tho former. lam inclined to regard it as one of those canards of which about a dozen , a day are started in Madrid. Tho government prints tell us that General Caballero deßodas telegraphs the de cline of the insurrection, and reports that, day by day,the troops and volunteers obtain rresli, triumphs, so, day by day, public confidence is restored, especially amongst the mercantile classes. Ho considers the insurrection as good as suppressed, and says the only use of the troops being sent out will be to add to tbe returning confidence, and to “ animate pub lic opinion.” oc3odmrp§ 1109 THE ‘■TWESTY4SIXTH’' IN PARIS.

The Place dc la Concorde aud the vicinity of the Legislative Palace are quite deserted; not an individual more than on ordinary days being visible. The weather Is magnificent, a warm sun shining out brightly; but even that temptation has not induced tbe population of the capital to show themselves out of doors. We cannot too earnestly congratulate them on their pru dent reserve. His Majesty, the Emperor, ac companied by General Flcury, about two o’clock, proceeded by the promenade con ducting Irom the private gardens of the Tuile rics to the terrace facing the Place de la Concorde, and walked up- and down for some time. Towards three o’clock about ICO young men, followed by a do-ten open cabs, went down the Hue de liivoli from the Eue St. Elorentin to the Tuileries, seem ingly expecting to be stopped and dispersed. N o notice, however, being taken of them, they stopped for some time in front of the private garden adjoining the palace and then disap peared. At 2 o’clock M. Gagne came to make Lis demonstration. He placed himself at the foot of the Obelisk, and as soon as about a hundred persons had collected he pro nounced a speech, in which he declared that the happiness of the country consisted in a complete reform of tho present system, that all the State bodies ought to be extirpated, and particularly the legisla tive chamber. He ended by vociferating, “Down with the legislative body!” This harangue was received with ironical applause and laughter, some persons even throwing him sous, as if to a mountebank. A sergent de-ville then told him to move onl which he did, leaving the money behind. He is an old man, with white hair, and having the appear ance of being touched in the head. EX«LAXD. Awful Accident In a Hine—Another Colliery Explosion la England. The London Daily News says : “ On Friday, October 22, information reached Frome that an explosion of fire-damp had taken place in one of the Newbury pits. The pit is called the Macintosh, and had only recently been put in Working order, though it had been opened five years ago. It is ’ one of two worked at Newbury by the Westbury Iron Company (Limited), the down-shaft Ming at Newbury pit, and the up-shaft atthe Macin tosh. The depth of the latter pit is one hun dred and twenty lathoms, auu the average seam of coal five feet six inches. “The system of working pursued is the eight hours’ shift, and at six o’clock the night inen had come up and the day men weregoing’ down. At half past six thirteen men and boys bad been let down, and the remainder were ready to follow. Tbe lamps were duly deliv ered by the lampman, all being locked. Ifi a few seconds after the last batch had gone down a loud rumbling noise, followed by a shock as of an earthquake, was heard, and those above ground were at once aware that an explosion had taken place. Very naturally ■ there was great excitement, hut prompt steps were taken to ascertain the extent ot the disaster, and if possible rescue the unfortunate men. The bailiff, Mr. Baker,descended the Newbury pit, aud on entering the main level he found that' the door which separated the pit had been des troyed, but he was enabled to secure the frag ments, and by this means to restore the venti lation to the Macintosh pit, the draught, it it should be understood, being supplied by"an engine into,the latter pit, while the outlet was at Newbury. “As soon as practicable there were plenty of willing volunteers to descend the pit in search of their unfortunate comrades. It was some time ere any tidings reached the bank, and as the shock had been felt for fully half a mile around, a great crowd had assembled, and a most agonizing scene ensued. The pit gave employment to fifty-five persons, and wives and children and mothers and fathers tearfully awaited the result. When at last the first body came up the anguish of the scene was if possible increased- A-human form remained, and that was about all.' The features were scorched so as to bo almost un recognizable, and the clothes were burnt or torn apart. Thus hour after hour the sad Work went on, despair and hope alternating as the cage brought up its living, or mangled, or dead freight. The colliers of some of the other pits in the district had by some means become aware of the calamity, and at once strnck work to become spectators of the mournful work going on at Macintosh. It was a quarter past one o’clock when the last of the unfortunates was brought up. In the mean while almost the entire medical staff of the district had assembled, and the injured men were carefuiiy tended and removed to their homes, where two of them died, and we re gret to hear that only one is likely to survive. The scene in the pit must have been most ap palling. The dead and wounded had been blown up and down the pit, and two had gone into a pool of water, whence they were fished up by a crook.” ■ HOW THEY RECREATE. The Cabinet at Leisure. The Jenkins of the New York Herald is in Washington. He furnishes ’ the following highly important intelligence: President Grant’s chief mode of recreating while in Washington is a long walk early in the morning and a ride after (firmer, One day, for instance, the President starts out from the White House and walks towards the Capitol along F street and back, and the next day, by way of variety, takes his course along Penn sylvania avenuejtowards Geogetown. He may he seen almost any morning enjoying this pedestrian exercise. He walks along very slowly, with one hand in his breeohes pocket and the other either holding or thrown behind his back. A strange little man is Grant in his walks. He never looks to the right or left, but straight before him, or to wards tbe ground, anu seems not to notice any of tbe passers. His manner is altogether that of a man wrapped up in his own thoughts and unconscious 01 what is happening about him. Many who know him pass President Grant in tliese walks, blit very few venture to join him. BOUTWELL AS A BILLIAEMST. Boutwell is a good deal of a walker also, but his chief amusement is of another kind. The financial head of the country is an enthusiastic billiardlst. To him the cue and halls are a perfect delight. After a busy day spent in close attention to the dry work of his depart ment, the elegant Governor, who, by tho way, is growing in his manner very like unto Charles Sumner, ropairs to a seloct billiard saloon on Pennsylvania avenue, and there spendsjtwo or three hours malting his caroms. 1 Boutwell is not a professor of the. scientific - game, but he is. a very fair player and im proves apace. He has a cue or his own,which ho brings with him to the billiard saloon and carries noble with him when he finishes play ing. George S. may he seen issuing from tho saloon sometimes as late as midnight. THE OTHER MINISTERS. . Fish scarcely is overseen in the role of a pe destrian on the streets. He rides to and from the State Department in a stylish little-coups, and after official hours generally passes nis time at home in entortaining select parties at dinner. Belknap and Robeson are great walkisfe. The former is a splendid looking gentleman, tho very picture of good health, with fine, clear, dark eves, ruady complexion, and a well-put-togeuier frame. He is not, as for merly described in some of the newspapers,“a big, red-whiskered and red-faced fellow from lowa." To sum Belknap up in that style would he doing him great injustice. He lias (juice an intellectual faco, and carries about him a self-reliant, independent air, that stamps him as a man of decided character. He lias made a very good impression here already, and liis OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. friends predict he will jprovO one of the strongestmom hers of the Cabinet, :: Eobeson is popular, here also; He has a pleasant wqy about him, and ought to. take.

M. im- Thcre is,a rumpus in the “Camp of Israel,” and the “Saints 1 ’ are troubled. But it bodes well for the dawning freedom of thought arid of conscience among this deluded and fanati cal people. The editors and proprietors of the Utah SUtgazihe have just been excommunicated; from the “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,” for attempted free expression of thought on purely secular matters. The “Saints” are directed by Brigham Young “not to patronize or read the saia magazine. Now the “head and front of the offending” of said editors is this, aud nothing more, to wit: 1 The Church authority—which is Brigham Young, “the Prophet, Seer arid Bevelator”— has always discouraged the opening, aud de veloping of the mineral resources of Utah Territory, and has thus signified his sovereign will to his obedient; Saints. Tho editors of the magazine have taken a different view, and have dared to advocate the development of the mineral wealth. The same Church au thority, in. the plentitnde of his benevolence, insists upon the reduction of the price of la bor in this Territory. The editors of the mag azine have dared to express a different opinion. 'Whereupon the “Prophet” in filled with wrath that any of his subjects should presume to have an opinion adverse to his, not only upon Church matters, hut on matters wholly temporal. On the 23d iust: these editors were arraigned before the “ High Council ’’ for apostacy, and heresy, and were tried and expelled from the “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” He who du-ires to see ail absolute slavery of. soul and body, fully equal to that of ' the dark ages under tne reign of the most beastly of Popes, let him come to “ Zion.” A few inci dents ot the trial of those editors before tho “High Coutiril” will give some idea of the tyranny and blasphemy of this “High Coun cil” under the dictation of the “Prophet.” After the charge of apostacy had been preferred by Elder George’Q. Cannon, on the ground of articles in the magazine containing views on financial questions differing With those of Brigham \ oung, as well as on account of an expressed belief that members of the Church had riot only a right to think but to express their ideas on such subjects, the question was pnt by the editors to Elder Cannon, one of tho Council, whether it was apostacy to differ honestly with Brigham Young? To which he repliedlt is apostacy to differ honestly with Brigliam Young. A man iriay be-honest even in hell.” D. H. "Wells, also one of the Council, said, in relation to the above question, “You might as well ask the question whether a man had a right to dificr honestly with the Almighty?” Eli B Kelsey, one of the Council, was in stantly cut off from the Church simply for voting agaiast the expulsion of the editors. Now, to understand the full force, in,this com munity, of an expulsion from the Church,and the effect of the. order to the “Saints” . not to patronize or to read the proscribed magazine, yon must know that this people have been taught to believe, and do believe, that Brig ham Young isthe vicegerent of God on earth, and is infallible in aU temporal as well as spiritual things. These editors feel themselves in .danger of personal violence, and even assassination, by the pious and fanatical “ Saints,” for to take their lives would not be shedding “ innocent blood,” according to Mormonism. Thejpro sotption of the Utah Magazine will he strictly observed by ninety-nine in every hundred of the “ Saints,” and hence it will probably utterly ruin the proprietors financially. While we Gentiles rejoice at the little spasmodic ef forts of those editors for free thought, yet we have not much sympathy for them, for they still believe in Mormonism—in the-di-- vinity of Joseph Smith’s bible. and polygamy, and advocate them in their magazine. One of them has four so-called wives, and hence is in the meshes of the “ whoredom of Babylon.” It fs to he hoped that the strong arm of the Government will, this winter, do something' to suppress this “twin relic of barbarism,” ana tree this ignorant and stupid people from their manacles. ' The Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday sayß: A little after 10 o’clock on Friday , night sparks of fire were discovered issuing from the back building of the residence of Mr. T. Jeflerson Harris, in a row of frame buildings on Paxton street, near Front, and the flames were soon communicated to the main build ing, and as the timber was very dry, the whole row of three houses were "enveloped, and burned quite rapidly. Tho houses of Mrs. Mary "Worley and William Worley, adjoin, ing, soon took fire, and the attic and aportion of the second floor were considerably burned. Mr. Jacob Long occupied the corner house, and removed most of his household goods, but they were considerably damaged. The next house was occupied by two families. They saved hut little of their effects, as they did not commence removing their goods until the lire had progressed so far as to render it impossible for them to save their property. This row of houses was owned by Mr. Har ris, and was almost entirely destroyed. They were so much damaged by the fire that they will have to he torn down. The tenants of Mr. Harris were all poor persons who can Illy afford to lose tlieir property. There was no in surance on the row or its contents, and the total loss will reach $3,000. The yearly inundation of the Nile has been oven greater than usual tbis year. Tho Lon don Hews says: . “The Nile mud has fertilized tho Desort sands and drawn a belt .of garden ground all down the long course of the river,, and the' Desert air Has .made tho atmosphere the brightest and most salubrious in the world. But the Struggle ’ between Nile and Desert, sand and mud, drought and flood, has gone on with varied fortunes. Year by year the one anxiety of the Egyptian people, whether under a Pharaoh or a Khedive, has. been the rise of the Nile. When it falls short tho Desert gains upon them, and famine stares them in the face; when it rises above its nor mal flood it sweeps .away their villages and drowns the fields it shoula fertilize. This year has been a year of excess. The river has risen to an unusnal height, and flooded the cotton fields. Hitherto an excess of water has been a smaller calamity than a, deficiency; flaw tho new cotton culture has made an excess pro bably as much dreaded as a failure. By the. last advices, however, we hear, that the waters are subsiding, and that the cotton crop, which has not yet sustained any fatal damage, will probably be saved. . —The people of Abyssinia are so well aware ofthe great loss which thoir country has - suf fered by the death ot Thoodorus.that they have begun to venerate him as : a saint.
