When the bishop heard of the vises having takes the curacy near his residence, is Herefordshire, sad of the three duties before spoken of having idea upon me, he certainly offend (and was rather urgent an the 'alit) to double my stipend (twice 261. are 601.—nrable otter I); ant it is tree that 1 did decline aoreptiag any ingiainiftea at that time, and that tor aroma very duple and dear toss Moat man, namely, the private arrangement which I had already made with the vita. The latter 'cadential sal myself, however, afterwards dis agreed, before the first leer of my eamey espied.

I then applied to the bishop, sad told him that I should be /lad to have my stipend raised kw each meted year. I named rill., Laving still no knowledge of the law in such matters.

When 1 learned my Tights and referred the bishop to the law of the matter I was met by a relusel, followed op by a intim to quit my curacy. 1 asked fee justice, and received my dismissal. With regard to 11r. Crawley's argument that the bishop bad good mum for allowing my vicar to give me notice to quit became of die &Semmes which existed between us, 1 beg to my that is said 1111111114 to give the thing " a colour." Our differences arose solely from the fan of the vicar's never paying me withriat my having to write to the bishop for a atoeitkin" to compel him to do so, sad at last the bishop grew weary of se " treatiltreoase a oorrespoodent." What need was there of esumualeations between the incumbent and sinesU even en " pemoral matters," when 1 was in the sole 'barge of the pad* ? Finally, I ma comtintit the bishop out of his own mouth by cleating a passage from one of his letters to me, Wore referred to, dated April 3, 1816. He is referring to the ioeumbent's threats of not paying the then increase of stipend. and he says • " If Mr. P— pleads his legal rights he will find blemish mis taken. He has no license of not residence. The arrange. meat made was an indulgence granted upon the strong re presentatiese he made of his pecuniary emberromments, and of his being actually engaged in a treaty for exchange of his glebe for a more eligible sits which he exported to obtain. All these pleas mesa to have vanished. He can claim no 'reuse . = from the tines ander which a non resident clergyman is placed."

THE ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, RAVERSTOCK-HILL. Sir, —As you hue in two separate articles chosen to att ack a class of iestitutions deserving, with all deferents to your opinion, the most extensive supporta( an enlightened and benevolent public, I think it right you should know that your misrepresentations are not to remain unexposed, even though no other person attempts a reply than the humble individual who now addresses you, that is, presuming that you will allew this communication to appear in your paper. Your article of the 30th of October has a general reference, out notwithstanding what you my about there being no ex aggeration in your description of the canvass and the election of a child, I venture to say It is a gross caricature, and has no existence but in the brain of the writer. In Punch it would go down as a capital joke, in your columns sober truth is looked for. There is so doubting the fact that can vassing is a trying awl difficult employment, I wish there were none of it. - Peaddly youout suggest a remedy. Your " stale remedy we met de yet awhile. Year mesimise tM the amide is most unjust, as well as libellous ups des elsellellier of these institutions. You ask ! "De tray lfromblo grit the children when they get them, • neyeling lite • prom education ?" And then reply, "In mat see we b4iare not." Why not go to the asylums and seseeMia the fact before you write ? 1 believe they do, and fee our own institutiee, I invite you to go and judge r; Ilag esweelL Your next question is, Do thee take ogre of isem when they send them out, as they do at the tender age el 14 or 18 upon the wide world ? " In reply, I answer by saying the Orphan Working School does, and never tome sight of them until they are 21. Some are the staunch sup porters of the charity who were ones children in the school. In most cases, situations are provided for them, and a pre mium given, and such is the character of the education of the hop, th a t Se of i.e.t are sow in the employment of the Lectnc Telegraph Company, whilst young men who have been to good schools in the ordinary HIM of the term, have been dismissed for want of ability. Tr.e insinuation as to the female portion of our orphan ewablishmesita is " too bed." I have heard a statement somewhat sitellar as to one of them, bat after full inquiry I was satialad it was not true. Of ell the girls educated in our *shod I only know of one cue where such a suspicion ✓ested, soda hose sot been able to ascertain whether there is the slightent ground for believing it.

I mart that nothing can be plainer. Yoe commence by telling your readers that the committee of the Orphan Working (School are men of taste (why not?) end that they have greeted a building en " Berry's latest patent," at a cost of 20,0001. As to the beauty of the building, its charming simatice, and healthiness as a residence fee the child r en__ ,we are prised, bat as to its cot, we widely differ.

It is of brick, and stuccoed. All through the pro ceedings, economy was the watchword of the committee, sad it has been well carried out. With respect to the onus' expeditors of the institution, in this you are al to gether wrong.

THE WEATHER DURING THE LAST THEIS MONTH& In the Registrar-Oeneware report, boned on Tuesday last, we had some elaborate 'marks on the state of the wee, ' Oar during the last three 'menthe. With the empties of a few days in July (says this does meat) sad the period between the 9th and 23rd of September, the weathek daring the quarter ending September 30, 1848, wee wee, with very little sunshine. The month of Amer was emwmely wet, and many plates the fe ll s of rain, both to July and September, ware unusually erne, So math rain felling in a period immediately hallowing the praetors bad weather, rette the mason and the year very remark. able. On July I, the mean temperature of the air was B°4 THE EXPRESS, ITJESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1848. below the average value of the nine day in the seven pee- 1 online years, and en tee 6th It wee 12.2 in exams above the avenge; on the fanner day the mean Imperatore was 46 ° 7, and on the latter day it was WO. On the 9th it was 3° be. low the average, and en the 14th it was 9°4 above the average; end ea the lath it was again below die avenge. These change, were groat and abrupt. From July 11 to ber 19 the temperate» of the air was almost alweys September 19 tile tempeestle. of tb. alt was usdl aiwsys below sh. avenge and pertieululy so between Me 11th and 15th of September ; as the 12th, the depilate from the avenge was Ire. From the 20th of September to the sod of the quarter the temperature of the air esesewbot abets the average. The hottest day ranged yen wee July 6, and this day wee the hottest all over the onstry. Oa ea avenge of seven years, the hottest day Is Jaly 6. The report pressed. to give the details of the man temperately of the air at Greenwich, that of evaporaton, and of the dew peiat,for the throe soothe; the result for the quarter beirq, se regards the first, that the average was be low that of the ommegoading quarter in the precediag seven years by 1.2, the snood I°4, and the latter I°3. The temperstere of the water of the Thames, on en average, was 3°9 warmer than the air. The horizontal movement of the air was 240 miles per day on en average ; on Augmt 21 It exceeded 300 miles. Rail fell at Stone and Cardington on August 22, and at Bespingbant on August 6 ; the hailstones at Cerdingten were et very large dissensions. Gales of wind took place all over the country on August 20, 21, and 22, but more particularly on the 21st; at many places tries were blown down, and a great deal of injury was done ; coasting vessels and Wing boats genteelly suffered very math. There were large and continuous falls of rata In July. At Greenwich, rein fell to the depth of 0.3 inch on the 16th, 23rd, and 31st. On the 14th, at Latimer Rec tory, rain to the depth of half en inch fell in half an hoar. In August rain was felling more or Ina at every part of the country on every day. At Greenwich, the amount feted exceeded 0.3 inch on the lit, 3rd, Bth, 10th, and 21st; and the falls exceeded 0.7 inch on the 14th and 31st. On the 14. h a !ergs fall occurred at all places. In September, co the 24th, at Thwaite, between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., rain fell to the depth of 2 12 inches, a greater fall within the same interval of time than bat occurred at Thwaite within the mending 40 years; and on this day, at Leeds, the fall within nine hours was 2 inches. Oa the 28th, 29th, and 30th days rain was falling almost continuously over ell parte of the country. At Csrdington the fill withia 60 hours was 2 6 inches. At Leicester, the amount within 72 hours wee 2.25 Inches, and this was the amount which fell on these days at most places. This fall, extending over so large a portico of the country, is most muses'. At Greenwich the amount of rain which fell for the quarter was 1.9 inches greater than on the average of the preceding sev.n years, the average since 1815 being seven inches, the excess over the average for the last seven years 7.5 inches ' • th e whole fall for the first nine months of the year has been 24.3 inches, en amount which has not been exceeded during . the present century. The great prevalence of rata during the quarter, together with the very short periods of sunshine, has harassed the farm r in gathering in the crops. The month of July was about its usual character, but the constant rain in August impeded the tanner in his operations, and in many of the anthem counties injured the crops considerably, causing the corn to sprout, and se d leaves to appear of full, an inch in length by the middle of August; the greater coldness of the northern counties prevented the sprouting of the corn, but it otherwise was seriously injured. Between the 9th and the 23rd of September the weather was generally fine, and this period was the only good interval of time for harvest work during the quarter, and the wheat gathered within this time was in good »edition.

Some years ago Messrs. Gordon and Maitland were wry juvenile barristers, acting in behalf of the whig coterie. Yet these unfledged politicians were allowed to fix, " world without end," the number of whig and tory councillors who should be returned for a certain ward, liberaily allowing the opposite party double the number they took to themselves. Yet all the while they and their employers were calling the independent liberals " t - ry-radiads." From the above cor respondence, I infer that the Edinburgh whigs and tories consider the above bargain binding in perpetuity. Perhaps its publication may induce the electors to throw both parties overboard—that is, if their clergymen permit them. THE CaAarfar PSTIVION.—At a meeting at Aber deen, the ether day, to hear a Lecture from Mr. Temps O'Connor, the representative from that city to the national convention (Mr. bhirren) entered upon a number of charges against Ur. O'Connor and his " creatures" in the national ceaventioa." Among other revelations was the following : Yr. Caney was present in the Lend Office when Mr. O'Con nor came In to ask what number of names were at the na tional chartist petition. The reply was, that the signatures were "less than two millions." On hearing which, Mr. O'Connor said—" By God, I have stated to the country that there will be five Whams of signatures at it, and I'll declare it yet! They will never count the signatures—they did not do so in the Nee of Duneombe's—and yen all know that that petition contained leis than three millions, which was the numlor that it was represented to the country to con tain."

LA24IC.A@HILL Niw MAYORS OF MANCEUDITaIt AND SALFORD.- We lean that at a preliminary nesting of the new council of Manchester, held yesterday, it was uneahnosselzisdreed to put Mr. Alderman Potter in nomination for e of of Mayor of Manchester for the mamba year. Mr. Potter is the eldest son of the late Sir Thomas Potter, the first mayor of Manchester, and who held the office two years. The for. ' mal election does not take plane hare till Thursday. It is understood that Mr. W. Jenkineon, the present Mayor of Sal ford, is to be re-elected. IRELAND. Dvactx, Nov. 6. The Galway paper states that the college is being proceeded with at Galway, notwithstanding the dect sien at Rome, and that Doctor Kirwan, P.P., the pre sident, is in England. A curious question will not improbably arise respecting the situation of the presi dency by this gentleman, should he retain it, which is not improbable—one which will give rise to discus sions, diplomacy, and complications in the church of which he is a minister. The death of the Right Rev. Dr. Meet, Bishop of Down and Connor, occurred on Thursday evening last, at his pesos in the county Down. The deceased, who was born in 1776, was the eldest son of Dr. Mant, rector of All Saints, Southampton. He was educated at Oxford, and after having held several appointments in England, the last of which was the rectory of Rest Horsley, Surrey, he became Bishop of Killaloe and Kilfenora, in 1820. In 1823, he was ' translated to the see of Down and Connor, to which, in 1842, that of Dromore was added. The commission to inquire into the boundaries of poor-law unions in Ireland is, at length, evincing a determination to commence practical work. The Express, for months before the commission was appointed, pointed out the irjuatice and embarrass ments which must arise from the extreme extent of many Irish unions and divisions of unions. From the unions of Kilkenny, Callao, New Ross, Waterford, Thurles, and Rourea, three new unions at Thorns,- town, Castlecomer, and Urlingford will be formed. Cork city will be divided into two separate unions. From the unions of Rathkeale, Newcastle, Limerick, Kil mallock, and Tipperary, two new unions at Croom and Cappamore will be arranged. The union of Bal -1 line, Mayo, will be separated into three—a signal corroboration of your strictures on its enormous over extent and at Tulle and Kildysart, county Clue, two new unions will be made from the outlying divi sions of Scariff Ennis, and Kilrush. Several unions are taking the initiative in assessing for employment of labour in preference to support of pauperism. The movement will, it is hoped, be sncesesful. At the same time no vigilance must be omitted in protecting the rights of those who cannot labour or cannot procure work. The salaries of auditors of poor law unions will henceforward be paid out of the con solidated fund. The journals contain numerous accounts of out rages, which show the untoward temper of the people. The house of the stipendiary magistrate at Galway was robbed a few nights since of many valuables and a sum of money. An attempt_ at murder was made in the city of Limerick on Wednesday night, and just adjacent to the castle barrack. The cause appears to have been private malice. Three brothers, named Hayes, the perpetrators, are in cuatod7. The sufferer, a man named Purcell, was stabbed in the breast and other wise dreadfully injured. He lice hopelessly ill. Last week I forwarded the facts elicited upon an inquest held on the body of a man who was said to have travelled from Ballingarr7 to Newcastle, county Limerick, three times to obtain relief from the vice of the union, but was unsucoessfuL A ver dict inculpating these gentlemen was returned. The Limerick papers contain a worse ease—that of a child starved to death, and a corresponding ver- dict returned. It appeared in evidence that the grandmother of this child, in whose care it was, had gone two journeys to Newcastle-40 Lig miles going and returning—and also four journeys to Hallingarry —24 Irish miles—to attend the levees of the relieving officer of her district ; but was unsueeeedal on either occasion in having her claim investigated. On re turning home from her laid visit to this Aker, the old woman was overtaken by the storm which raged on the 27th ult., and, tnadd to her misery, was unable to approach any house for shelter, owing to the dark ness and the paucity of dwellings in the district. Next morning an inhabitant found the old woman and the child in a field—the woman senseless from ex haustion, and the child (six months old) dead in her arms. These facts having transpired upon the in quest, the verdict I have indiatted was returned. LIBILLATION or STATE Pursoszas.—The Lord Jostles; held a meeting of the Privy Council last Sararday, when leave was granted to take bail for the smarties of the fol kerbs political prisoners, who are =fined in Dublin sad elsewhere for treasonable practices, viz.: BERME O'Reilly, James M'Kenna, John De Cooney Young, John Russia, James Russell, Patrick Comm, Jams O'Donnell.

On 'Saturday morning an order was received at the amity gaol (Limerick) tor the discharge et Mr. Richard Deltas, of Tipperary, one of the political offenders, on finding bail, himself in 1001. and two enemies in 601. each. An order is also expected to admit to bail Mr. Thomas M'Narnara, solicitor, of Rathkeale, and Mr. William Hartnett, of Newcastle. The ether political offenden remaining In eu.tody are Mr. R.

The statement o f accounts was presented, from which it appeared that nearly 5,0001. had been received, and 3.7001. expended in land—giving a county qualification to 195 member. Each allotment cost on the average 191. The statement was received with the utmost satisfaction; and it may be remarked that no greater proof of the rigid accuracy with which the accounts bad been kept could be found than in the fact that although at the lowest computation 20,000 half-pennies had been paid into the secretary's hands, yet the statement showed that an error evenof alraction of those small amounts had notoocurred. The report of the committee detailed the operations of the society since its establishment; from which it appeared that 1,491 shores had been subscribed for by 941 members ; that six other branch societies had been farmed ; namely, at Co ventry, Worcester, Wolverhampton, Dudley Stafford, sad Stourbridge, numbering in the aggregate 1,200 members, holding upwards of 1,500 shares; and that the example of the men of Birmingham is winnine a voice in the represen tation of the country, was being foUowed by nearly every town of any importance in the kingdom.

SUICIDE OF LORD liiIDDLE - TON.—The inquest on the body of the deceased nobleman was held betore Mr. C. J. Woods, coroner, on Friday, at the mansion at Pepper harrow. The body, from the appearance of which it wined seem that he had died without a struggle, having been viewed by the jury, 0. Caner detailed the manner in which the deceased had conducted himself on the night of his death. His lordship, he said, had dined heartily off a roast pheasant, and at 11 o'clock, when he (witness) went to clear away the dessert, his lordship rose and drank a wine-glass ful of something, but whether it was wine or brandy ho could not say. Having described the position in which be found the body, witness added : I have seen his lordship every day, but did not notice any change in his manner, nor had I any suspicion that his lordship's mina was impaired. He always appeared perfectly rational. I sever knew him to he depressed in spirits.—Mr. Parsons, sargeon, Godalming, said he had no doubt that death arose from apoplexy caused by charcoal, and under such circum duces he did not think there was any necessity for a post swiss. examination.—Thomas Lee said I have been in the service of the late lord and that of his father 33 years. I have seen kis lordship every day when he has been at Pepper borrow, with the exception of two, during the last six months. Fur the last five or six weeks his lordship has been very dull and in low spirits. I took the letter-bas to his lordship every morning, and waited upon him at dinner. He used to dine between three and four, but latterly it has been half pm eight. I used to fetch the candles about eleven. I Gave no doubt his lordship used frequently to sit up until a late hour alter he retired to his bedroom. I have not noticed anything beyond lowness of spirits. His lordship never gave me any reason for his being in low spirits. I told my wife on one occasion I thought something would happen. I have no reason to suppose his lordship has ever attempted to do anything to himself before.— Mr. J. Stedman, of Guildford, surgeon : I have known the late lord all his life, and attended him in his childhood. Since his ooming to the title I have attended him in several illnesses ; in net, I believe I have been his oaly medical attendant when he has been in the country. I attended his lordship from the 16th March lad to the 25th April, in all seven visits. On them ocarina his lordship said he felt de pressed, but did not think he was ill. He added that he had been living alone, and had not taken his usual exercise. I advised him to adopt some change of resident. His lordship, in consequence, desired I would go to London and see his solicitor, Mr. Robinson, and make an arrangement for Pis travelling, which I did, but did not find him at home. On the neat day, however, be came to Pepper-harrow, and I met him. It was arranged that his lordship should have a gentleman to travel with him, but he rallied, and the plan was not carried out. I have not seen La lordship since the 2.5 . 11 of April. I always considered him of a waver ing disposition. I wrote to a part of the family respecting the solitary manner in which his lordship was living. I thought the life he was leading might make him tired of it. I always considered his lordship an eccentric man. A man named Bickentofi was sworn I have been sem* time in his lordship's employ, and have looked after the pl aastion. I have not noticed anything particular about his lordship. I saw him last alive on Tuesday between 4 and 5 o'clock, a htle I was at work at the river welsh runs through the park. His lordship spoke to me, and said the sky looked very particular. About a month ago I saw his lordship sit ting on a rail about two and a halt feet from the ground : he had a gun between his knees. I went toward the spot, coughed, and opened a gate, in order that his lordship should notice me, bat he did not. lat last went to him, and he said he was very ill, and begged that I would not disturb bin I then went away, but on leaving work I mentioned the circumstance to Thomas Lee of his lordship having sat there for several hours. His lordship got up and Lee went towards him and took the gun from him.—By ajuror : Had not noticed his lordship with a gun baton during the season. —The inquiry was then adjourned in order to give time fur the &deadens of the butler living in London, who was formerly in his lordship's service.—lt is ism that the decoded nobleman has not been onside his perk since his separation from her ladyship, which took place twelve months age.—The inquest was resumed yesterday, when William Bone said that he had been in his lordship's service 20 years. He had lately seen him low spirited, and he com plained of pains in his head. He was also very forgetful at timid—Mr. J. Debenham, clerk to Mr Henry Marshall, solicitor, said, that he was frequently in his lordship's com pany—sometimes for a day together. He often noticed that he .as very low spirited, and he seemed to suffer much in mind en account of a law suit he had with a Mr. linden. The last dens he was with him he was speaking of some. thing he wanted completed; for, in the event of his dean, he said, it would be difficult to add. He then burst out crying. He left the room, and on his return he noticed that he had been crying Yr. Parsons, the surgeon who had since the last court made a pod aortas examination of the body. described the cause of death, which was suffocation from charcoal fueses.—The Rev. Lawrence W. Elliott, of Pepper Harrow, said that he had known the deceased for many years. In July, 1847, he same to him and communicated the intellieenceot her lady ship having let him, end added that it was all his own fault. He wee then in such a distressed state of mind that witness did not like to leave him by himself . lie therefore tried to cheer him up. Two or three days afterwards he told witness that he was in such a distressed state that he had hardly been able to keep himself from laying violent hands on his person. He was then in a most unhappy state of mind, and witness thought it dangerous to leave him. He could net attribute his state of mind to anything else than the sepa ration between himself and Lady Middleton. About the middle of Much, 1848, whilst conversing with witness. he said, "Oh, my life is a hall on earth ;" and added, that he had had such a night that he would net have another like it for all the world; and he concluded by saying, that he had been on his knees all the night. He was extremely violent in his language, _and seemed to suspect hie best friends of wanting Lady Middleton to set him at defiance. He often said he hoped he should be tithed with a fit of apoplexy and die. Dorms th e last two months he had spoken of how he bad diapeth of kis property, and what would be the result after his death. On the morning of Wednesday last he attended at his lordship's late residence. In the room where he was lying were some verses and letters, with a docu ment headed, " The last will and testament." Several other witnesses were examined, who merely corroborated the main features of the above evidence ; one, however, stated that his lordship felt most acutely the death of Lord Omega Benda*, and said he bad himself a fit of a similar character when in France. There being no other witnesses to examine, the coroner proceeded to theme the jary. He went over the evidence in every careful manner, remarking on the most important features. He said there were three things for the jury to consider—the first was, did his lordship wilfully destroy his own Ws ? He apprehended that there was little doubt on that point. The next thing they had to decide was the state of his mind. The learned gentleman was reading several lawmen bearing on the point, when the report was despatched. DISTURBANCES IN A CHURCIL—The pariah of St. Indwell was the seen, on &today week, of some strange disturbances It was whispered about the pariah that in case Mr. J. Ingle, the mate of St. Olave, who had already mused some open manifestations of displeesure, by preaching in his surplice, should spin attempt to do so, there would be " a row," and the parties who • ted a dis turbance, and who meet probably it, kept their word to the letter. The service en Sunday week went on as usual up to the time of the sermon. When Mr. Ingle pro ceeded, in his surplice, from the desk to the pulpit, and as soon es he began to announce the teat, there was a movement on the part of =ay persona from their seats towards the doors. This created a good deal of noise and confusion, which was afterwards increased by coughing, hisses, and other discordant noises, such as are occasionally heard is tbe gallery of a theatre. Finding all his own efforts to restore silence sad to proceed with his sermon fruitless, Mr. Ingle asked for the church warden, end, finding that be was not present, requested that he might be sent for to preserve order in the church, so that he might be able to proceed with his duties. Meanwhile the sionWon continued and increased. A message was sent to Mr. Ingle in the pulpit, entreating him to put off his sur plice and to preach In his gown, or else to give his blessing, and dings- the congregation. He declined to do either. Mr. W. B. Hill, formerly a spirit merchant in Dice's-field, stood up and addressed Mr. Ingle, and requested him, in the name of the parishioners and of the con gregation, to preach in his gown, in compliance with then. wish. Still Mr. Is.le persisted in maintaining his position, in spite of the noise and uproar, and of the sugges- don, mare than once made audibly, to " tura him out." At length the churchwuden Mr. G. Hayman, arrived, an d standing upon a bench addressed the congregaion request ing those who were not disposed to liven quietly to the sermon to leave the church, and intimating that it any fur ther disorder ensued be should proceed against the authors in tie eeelesia.tical court. About the same time the mayor arrived, and, joining his remonstrances to those of Mr. Hay man, their efforts were so far successful that the bulk of the congregation having retired, the sermon was permitted to proceed without interruption to the end. Immense mous of people, however, still hung about the chcrchyard, and in the adjacent streets, and, there being great reason to apprehend that Mr. Ingle's appearance among them would lead to a breach of the peace, the mayor strongly urged him to quit the church by a smaller door, aol to proceed to his home by an indirect way. This the rev. gentlemaa was extremely ' unwilling to de, and it is reported that the discussion was carried en with some warmth; the mayor, however, in the end, prevailed. Mr. Ingle left the church by the way indi cated, and, after some time, the voids gradually dispersed. There was some hissing and hooting in the street, which led to the apprehension of a young man named Fry, by order of the mayor, and the city was a good deal excited upon the matter. Oa Friday the bishop investizeted the case at the Chapter House, observing that at present nothing had come to his knowledge to make a judtcial icquiry necessary, hut enough to make it his duty to call his clergy together that the might know their bishop' s vi:ws on a question which had caused such a scandal in the church. Ha lordship then pro duced a teeter which Mr. Ingle had written as a defence of his conduct, and in which he stated that he had felt it to be his duty to refuse taking part its the services in any other church than that in which he had been licensed, unless he was permitted to wear the surplice ; that he had preached nine times in the surplice, the last time being on Sunday last; and that he bad preached previously in St. Edmunds and St. Mary Majors and no notice bad been taken of his mode of performing the service. His lordship having read the letter, observed that it was very hard that Mr. Ingle should be held up to the degree of blame he had been, if he had openly avowed his views. Mr. Ingle had declared to the clergy in the beginning of the year, that he would only take part in the lectures on one condition ; that condition had existed during nine months of the year without remonstrance, and without any exhibition of public feeling, beyond some few reasons going out of the church of St. Sidwells. He (the b.shop) could net, there fore, consider Mr. Ingle in the position in which he owned he had regarded him until he received hi: letter. It ap peared that ten months before he had given notice of hie intentions, which bad never been objected to. lie (the bishop) therefore thought it would be tl.e summit of in justice to charge Mr. Ingle with being the wilful, the care less, or the reckless cause of the scene of Sunday last ; and having said that, he must alto say that be thought Mr. Ingle would have exercised a much sounder discretion if before he came there he had written to his bishop, and stated that he had conscientious views which would prevent him officiating except on certain conditions. The Bishop then referred at some length to the behaviour of the laity in the church on Sunday night. He could not rail them " the mob," for he understood they were very re spectable people." They had evinced that tremendous spirit of puritanism which, two centuries ago, had levelled the church and throne with the dust. To that feeling of pu ritanism he would by no meatus advise his clergymen to succumb. He advised them to do nothing rash that would excite the feelings of thou other and better men whose sym pathies were friendly to the preservation of pubdc order, and who wished for a continuance of things as they were. He hoped the c'ergy would comply with the express wish of their bishop with regard to the surplice, though he guarded himself against being suppo.ed to have any disposition to advise clergymen to yield to the threats of a puritan mob The Rev. F. Courtenay wished, as incum! , ent of the parish, to say, that he had felt bound to el .so the church in the evening, and he desired to give his reasons for ao doing. He then proceeded to describe a state of dissoluteness and diem der, as the usual state of things at this church on a Sunday evening, which is handy credible. In a part which he de gloated the ante-church, a rube man bad been known to light his cigar by the gas. Parties talked, and young girls flirted there ; young people had been seen making sigma to each other across the gallery, and many young females had been mired by their attendance at these Sunday evening lectures. Under these cir cumstances he felt bound to close the church.— , The bishop then declared that ho would not order Mr. Cour tenay to keep the church open against his will —that would be tyrannical—to direct a clergyman to open his church except when the law required. The time to consider these things was at the beginning of the year, who n the arrange ment for the Sunday evening lecture was made. This . cloud the proceedings. Put flirts. LORD GEORGE BENTINCE BY COUNT D'ORBAY.— Amongst the novelties in the fine arts we may mention a small bust of Lord George Bentinek be Count D'Oreay. The likeness, to the truth of which Mr. Disraeli has borne testi mony, is pleasing and flattered. A suial.er cast from it, in Parian, published by Mr. Hogs rth, of the Haymarket, islets sharp and crisp than the original, an effect given by the polish of the material : but this does not deprive the head of its resemblance, though it slightly takes from its robleness. We noticed at the same publisher's some proofs of a series of lithotint engravings by Cattermole, which promise well. THE EARL or ELLEsitzer's GALLERY.—We have already noticed the fact of this nobleman's gallery being about to be opened to the public. A further proof of disin terestedness is given by the fact that Mr. Barry has been commissioned to build a staircase at Bridgwater Howe, by which the public will be enabled to ewer the gallery without any restriction or condition. It is to be supposed that no de triment will ensue from this step, though a spirit of destrue &emu has often been shown by individuals, of which it is yet needful to have a wholesome fear—witness the man who thrust his umbrella through the picture at the National Gal lery, and that other destructive who broke the Portland Vase. This seems, by the way, to be quite an English fail ing. At Berlin and Vienna you may walk in and through an entire gallery without meeting a keeper, yet no harm is ever done to works of art. THE ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.—A report which has been published of a meeting of the members of this fund, shows its lamentable mismanagement as a charitable institution. Like most of its contem poraries, it seems to require much in the way of re form. It would seem that the late secretary, Mr. Edward Wyon, had been re-instated atter having been a defaulter to the amount of &51. his sureties having paid the money. Mr. Wyon was re-elected secretary to retrieve his character by being put a second time into this office of trust, and the result has been a second defalcation of 8261. 18s. It war quite szefficient that Mr. Wyon did not suffer in the first instance, but to entrust him a second time with an office that he had not previously filled with honour, was a mistake, and the society now perceives its fault ,—" Mr. Edward Wyon," says the Observer, " was re-elected in preference to men of untarnished reputation, on the ground of charity, for the purpose of enabling him to recover his character. At the election nomination the mem. bets refused to bear evidence as to Mr. Wyon's personal character, as being private and personal, and therefore not within th e cognisance of the society ; and they required se curities to the amount of 1501., instead of 1001., es hereto fore—a sum leis than a filth of the present defalcation. In the course of little more than a year this gentleman, with a business of his own, beside' 801 a year from the society, has managed to squander from 8001. to 9001. [at least], al. though one of the rules of the society enjoins an audit every three months. There is a charitable fund attached to this benefit society, of subscriptions for the relief and mainte nance of poor widows of artists who were members of that benefit club. Under advice the most prudent m misers kept the allowance to widows small, from the expectation of a great increase of claims; whilst those of a sanguine disposi tion accused them of unjust and unchristian stinginess and want of feeling. At length claims multiplied and the funds diminished ' so that, iastead of augmenting, it was found necessary to reduce the allowance. It is much to the credit of some of the opposition that on this occasion last winter they en deavoured to alleviate the sufferings of the widows and archaize, and screen them from disappointment, by a subscription among themselves. Sixty pounds thus collected were un wisely left in the hands of Mr. E. Wyon. The committee of inquiry recommended, besides the removal o. Mr. Wyon, the suspension of the mutate. Had the latter gentleman exercised his wanted abilities and energies, the secretary would no doubt have been checked in his career ; but he was absent from town, through long and severe family affilia tions. Under the eireusastsnees he ought probably to have resigned ; but amidst the jealousies that distract the society it would be difficult to istsraine whether the treasurer or the committee of management is most decervung of blame for negligence." liEbt Mum. STRAND.—A musical piece, called " Jeannette and Jeannot," was produced et this theatre last evening. Pis scarcely necessary to say that it is founded on the popular ballad which for some time back has been ground on every street organ in London ; Jeannette being a French village girl, and Jeanne[, her sweetheart, who is toreed by the con scription to go fen a soldier. The idea is a happy one ; but the playwright (whoever he le) has overlaid this sicrple sub ject with a kid of higtt-flown sentiment and melodramatic incidents wrich greatly mar its effect. When AkirillOi is cameo off to join the grand army, Jeannette follows hint in the disguise of a trumpet-boy, and, without his knowledge, I 'lmes in the perils and hardships of a campaign amid the I snows of Poland ; but while there it is discovered somehow that she is the daughter and heiress of a Polirh lady of rank! And whey she comes home and gives her hand to her lover, who has fought his way to the rank of sergeant, she seems no th e same person, her change of position having robbed er her character of its simple and pathetic interest. Notwithstanding this great mistake, then are some pleasing soma in the piece, though they derive their effect almost entirely from the admirable acting of Mr. H. Webb and Min Rebecca Isaacs in the puts of the rustic lovers. The little popular autg—a very pretty thing, both from the maker( of the words and the simple sweetness of the melody—was introduced with great effect in their parting seen, and sung by Kin Isaacs with great beauty and feeling. The piece was well iterated by a fall house, bat it would be much improved by the excision of a great deal of worse than useless matter. OLTIIPIC.—A sketch l , w b o i Mr. Stirling, called "The Bould Boger Boy," was nced here yesterday evening, with average success. It Is taken from that part of Lever's " Charles O'Malley," the leading incident of whisk is the mystification of old Colonel Dogwood by Harry Kildare, (inch is the name of the hero of the farce), under the guise of the antiquated, but still animated, Mss Biddy Mamas. Mr. Redmond Ryan, as Harry Kildare, singing • couple at enng" The Bould Boger Boy " and ' The Widow Mahone, oeh-hcne!"—with good effect. The theme of the latter song appears to us somewhat too sentimental for ea jocose as affix. Miss Murray looked the part of All.. Dade- , I r i I II Is 1 . ►j 11).
