A UK reader notes a pamphlet translating a French Positivist critique of the Paris Commune linked to Professor Beesley. The piece attacks atheism, anti-religion, and aims for libertarian federation, praising some Commune figures while condemning violence and urging Christian resilience amid European upheaval.
A London commentary denounces fast and loose behavior among the fashionable, arguing it corrupts girlhood and domestic life. It cites Bayswater scandal as a grim exemplar, decrying infidelity to Christian ethics and the erosion of public morality by society's “respectable” circles.
The Rev G H Curteis delivered the seventh Bampton Lecture at St Marys on May 21 arguing Wesleyan secession was a revival within the Church not a split. He traced manners of church leadership in the 18th century, criticized pluralism, and defended John Wesley as a reformer whose followers helped renew religion within the Church of England.
The lecturer traces John Wesley and his brother Charles from Oxford through their open air preaching with Whitfield, noting their stay within Anglican bounds, Moravian influences, and the 1739 open-air revival. It argues Methodism arose from Church roots, praises plain speaking, and envisions a reconciled, parish-based system within the Church.
The assemblies in Scotland discuss Union and Patronage amid hopes for church state reform. A motion to abolish patronage with compensation gains support, signaling potential fusion of Free Church and United Presbyterians and challenging the Established Church. Duke of Argyll backs emancipation, while historic figures urge change.
Correspondence argues that phrase all persons whom it may concern does not bind the public or clergy. The Privy Council decision is limited to this case and not a general rule. An ex parte judgment is not a final settlement and should be treated with caution by lawyers.
The Lords discussed new War Office enlistment regulations criticised by peers and defended by military leaders while the Archbishop of Canterbury appeared healthier. In the Commons a West Staffordshire by election writ was ordered and the Army Regulation Bill saw multiple amendments on officer compensation and purchase, with late motions on morning sittings and adjournment debated before a four o'clock adjournment.
The Oxford Chancellor's prizes were awarded to Francis David Morice for Latin Essay and Francis Paget for Latin Verse, with William Hurrell Mallock winning the Newdegate Prize English poem on The Isthmus of Suez. Digby Marsh Berry won the Ellerton Prize Essay. W. S. Dixon and W. L. Ashmead-Bartlett received Isaac Williams Exhibition honors. Ambrose Heygate secured a £40 exhibition.
