USN. k , oNvicTioN OF A MILLER FOR ADFLTERATING.— At Henley.in-Arden, on Wednesday, Charles Taylor, jun., miller, of Tamworth, was charged with comrnittingdamage to certain property of Mr. G. F. Monts ; that was to say, upon certain pea flour or meal, by mixing with the same sand or earth. The complainant, who is bailiff to Mr. blintz. said that on the 13th of July last he delivered six sinks of peas to the defendant, at his mill at Tamworth, to be grouta The corn was returned to hire on the 16th of the same month, when he found it to contain a mixture of sand, at the rate of 11b. to each peck of tlour. Cross-examined—He said that he could not say if the peas were English or foreign. He had known Mr. Taylor, who was a tenant of Mr. blunts's, for • con.iderahle time. The reason why • summons was not taken out sooner against the defendant was, that he wished to consult Mr. blunts, who was away from home, upon the aul;ect. lie had had a quarrel with the defendant some time ago about short weight. The pea dour was mixed with wat,•r and milk for pig feed, and the sand was found settled at the bottom of the bucket. Thomas Wilke, in the employ of Mr. blunts, gave evidence as to the presence of the wind in the dour. For the defence, Mr. Taylor, jun., and Mr. sen., who is concerned to the business of the mill sit::. his sou, were examined. They swore positively that the had not in any way adulterated the flour, and stated, mon-over, that foreign peas, such as those sent by Sims undoubtedly were, generally contained • great deal of sand ar.d dirt. Corn of that description was frequently washed, but they would not wash it unless en order to do so was Pvtu by the customer. Mr. George Woodward, • miller: of I .apaorth, was called to prove that foreign peas gene t-41y toutained • great deal of dirt ; but on being slionn PA , ll:e if the sand taken from the flour in question he said that the sediment would not be of that &water. .

The official Giiirtinle di R, 41141 of to-day says : " The Garibaldians who fought at Ischia and Valentino have received reinforcements, and in tend to fortify themselves at Farnese. A column of Pontifical troops has been sent to engage them. Other columns have been despatched towards Caprarola, Soriano, and 13omarzo, where there are Garibaldian bands. " No engagement has taken place in the province of Sabine since the fights at Moricone and Monte libieti. In that province a band of volunteers occupies Monte Carpignano and has attempted to occupy Nerola." According to the Osservatore Rontann the band at Monte Carpignano is composed of about 000 men, whose numbers are daily increasing. BONE, Ocr. 9, Dams°.

When arrested he bad fired off six or seven rounds, but fortunately without doing personal injury to anyone. On being questioned he declared that ho was defending the camp from a force that was on Clew's-hill, and was out skirmishing. He was taken to the regimental hospital, and is slowly recovering.

Yesterday some interesting trials were made of these guns against armour-plated targets, the practice being on the beach between Crosby and Hightown, to the north of Liverpool. Most readers are aware that Mr. Mackay claims the invention of the windage system of shooting elongated projectiles. Preparatory to experi ments with heavy artillery, he carried out a laborious practice, extending over two years, with shoulder arms, the result of which wa s s o sa ti s f ac t or y that he determined to carry it out on a large scale with heavy guns. Mr. Mackay's projectiles are smooth cylindrical bolts, the interior of the guns are furnished with spiral grooves, and the gases escaping up these grooves communicate a rotary motion to the projectile. The advantages secured are that with leas strain upon the gun and less weight of charge there is a greater initial velocity, and greater penetrative power and range. The projectiles are made of one hard metal incapable of expansion on the bore of the gun. They may be cast and afterwards turned or not as may be deemed necessary, and the ab sence of studs, buttons, or bars; for the purpose of giving • rotary motion, renders them cheaper of construction than other elongated projectiles. Mr. Mackay ooutends, and citeshis experiments in proof, that an elongated projectile proceeding from the windage gun at the initial velocity of 1,400 feet per second is immensely more destructive than • similar projectile, without rotation, with a flight of 1,600 feet per second initial velocity. He believes it is not possible to obtain she advantage of such a rotation upon the fixed projectile system, because the strain on the gun would be so great as to destroy it with • heavy charge, and even if the rifled gun stood a few rounds, the penetrative powers of the projectile, after it becomes disentangled from the fixed screwing process, would be very slight. He claims that his experiments have esta blished that the force or striking power due to rotary projectiles and the quantity of powder used for the charge can only be obtained when the mean of rotation is imparted to it to coincide with the initial velocity. The experiments yesterday commenced at one o'clock, and the weather being bright and fine the attendance of spectators was very large. There were three guns ; one 8-inch, one 6-inch, and one 3-inch. The targets were four in all ; No. lan 8-inch target, solid iron-plating, resting on two flat balk, of timber, 14 by 14, kept in its posi tion in front and rear by two pieces of battens nailed, and supported at the top by a 14-inch balk, which took in the head of the plate. No. 2 wasthe Agincourt target, a 54inch plate of rolled iron, backed with 9-inch teak, iron skin, resting on 14-inch balks, and kept in position by two other balks being braced to them. No. 3 was a five inch plate, supported on both its edges by 14 inch balks. No. 4 was a 24-inch plate. The first shot fired was a solid cast iron ball 0f.701b5., which was fired eta distance of 75yards from the 6-inch gun, with a charge of 2216,., against the 5-inch plate The velocity may be estimated from the fact that it peened clean through the target, making a circular hole. Portions of the broken shot and a large piece of the target were picked up at the distance of a thousand yards in • direct line from the target. The next shot fired was from the 8-inch gun at the same target, with a spherical steel shot of Gdbs., with 301bs. of powder. It struck the target low down to the right. but the penetration was complete, and a large portion of the back of the plate surrounding the aperture was carried away. The third shot fired was a cylindrical steel bolt, of 74 lbs. weight, which was fired from the 6-inch gun against the Agincourt target, with a charge of 22 lbs of powder. This shot struck the target in its strongest part, and had it remained whole there is little doubt that it would have made a clean penetration. As it was, the shot broke into two parts, one of which dropped in front of the target, and the other, though it went through the plate itself, lodged in the backing. The fourth shot was a castiron cylindrical bolt of 70th,., with a charge of =lbs. of powd. r, from the 6-inch gun against the Agincourt target, The penetration in this case was not complete, but extended for 2-3rd, of the width, cracked the plate, and seriously damaged the backing. The experiments were proceeding when our parcel left, and will probably be resumed to-day. Amongst those present on the ground were General Sir John Jones, Colonel ' , reeling (Ordnance Select Committee), Lieutenant Marshall, lt.A., Captain Osborne, Captain W. Lock, the French and Spanish consuls, Captain White, H.N. Com mander Horner, R.N., Ca p tain Clerker (Swedish em bassy), &o. FIRE ♦T DALHOUSIE CASTLE. EDINBURGH, THOW‘DAT NlGHT.—Dalhousie Castle, !called by Mr. Rutherford Clark, advocate, was partially burned this morning, and damaged to the extent of upwards of 3,000 f. The tapestry was destroyed, but the family portraits were saved. Mr. Frank L.

Deceased would have attained his 44th year this (lay, and had been connected with All's Lice since his earliest days. He resided at Addlestone, near Chertany, but his strict adherence to duty brought him up to town on Wednes day, which doubtless accelerated his death. A letter dated Florence, the 6th inst. , in thei ?vie pendanee Berge, sayi:—." At the date of the latest news Ga ribaldi was still closely watched at Caprera.

THE CUNARD SERVICE AND THE BOARD HT TRADE.—Testarday the Liverpool Local Marine Board presented to Captain Hockley, the commander of the Cunard steamer Chats. a valuable silver mounted sextant, which had been forwarded to the local board by the Board of Trade. in recognition of the services rendered by Captain Hockley and hiscrew, in saving the lives of the crew of the ship Achilles, of Liverpool, in March last. It transpired daring the p roceedings attending the presentation that Captain Beckley bad applied to the Board of Trade on behalf of the officers and men who went to the rescue of the crew tbe Achilles for the Albert medal, but his request w fused. At the time the crew were taken off the Achill e sea was fearful, and the men who im perilled lives to 'eve *there ars surely worthy of some recognition from those who instituted the Albert medal as a testimonial for saving lite. THE CLERKENWELL AIVD WEST L'iNDON UNIONS. DEPUTATION TO THE LEL OF DEVON. Yesterday a deputation , consisting chiefly of members of the Vestry and Board of Guardians of Clerk enwell, waited uponhhe Earl of Devon at the Poor-law Board's office, Whitehall, to protest against the annexation of Clerkenwe ll Union to the West London Union by the Poor-law Board under the powers of the Metropolitan Poor-law Act. Among the deputation, which was intro duced to the President of the Board by Mr. W. M. Tor rens, M.P., were the Rev. R. Maguire, incumbent of St. James's and St. John',., Clerkenwell ; Mr. Churchwarden Willcocks, Mr. Churchwarden Nunn, Mesirs. Thompson (representative of Clerkenwell at the Board of Works), Gillingworth, Franklin, Croucher. Arnett, Redfern, Say well, Smith, Lawrence, Offord, Bests% Clarke, and Paget (Vestry Clerk). Mr. PAGEr first handed to his lordship a copy of the fol lowing resolution passed by the Clerkenwell Vestry : " That the attention of this vestry, elected by the general body of the ratepayer of Clerkenwell, having been called to a communication received by the Guardian Board of this parish from the Poor law Board, intimating the intention of that board to unite Clerkenwell with the West London Union for purposes connected with the relief of the poor of this parish, this vestry feels called upon to Protest mast strongly against any such scheme, believing it to be an uncalled for inter ference with the local rights and privileges of a parish which has, for more than 250 years, managed the relief and maintenance of its own poor. This vestry also con siders that ClerkenweU, with a population of more than 65,000, and containing 7,000 inhabited houses, is large enough to form a union by itself, and ought not to be placed under the control of any parish or union containing , • lees number both of inhabitants and inhabited houses. Mr. WILLCOCKS (churchwarden) said that the board of guardians, who were men principally concerned in the proposed annexation, bad, probably from a feeling of deli cacy, abstained from addressing his lordship and the Poor law Board on the subject; but the question was raised at the vestry by an independent member, who was not a guardian, and the resolution just read was carried. The Earl of DEVON—Was the meeting a large one ? Mr. WILLCOCKS—I think not a very large one—not more than the average. The Earl of DEVON—What is the average number of those who attend? Mr. PAarr (vestry clerk)—Twenty-five or thirty. The Earl of DEVON—How many were present on this occasion Mr. PAGET-At the moment this resolution was passed twelve or fourteen were present, and there was but one dissentient. Mr. SATWELL said that notice had been given that the resolution would be brought forward, but many members were out of town. Mr. WILLCOCKS said that Clerkenwell did not evince any symptoms of decline. There was a sufficient number of wealthy men, a sufficient amount of intelligence and self-abnegation in the parish, to ensure the efficient and economical conduct of its affairs. The guardian board of the parish had always shown every disposition to carry out the wishes of the Poor-law Board as to the ameliora tion of the poor. They had nothing to say against their bretbern of the West London Union, and only asked to be left alone, as they did not think the care of their poor would be improved by their annexation to the West Lon don or any other union. Mr. THOMPSON said that Clerkenwell, by its extent of population and manufactures, might well claim to be let alone. By • local act the guardians were elected for life, which was • great calamity ; and they were [very glad of the change in the law which would enable the guardians to be elected by the ratepayers from their own body. (Hear, hear.) About three years since he brought forward • mo tion to build • new workhouse, and it was opposed, not by the young members of the board, recently elected, but by the life-elected members. He was compelled to say that matters of great inkiest and benefit to the pariah were often opposed by gentlemen who did not come to the board year after year, unless to give a captious vote on some question. Ho therefore hailed the change in the constitu tion of their board as an exellent one, and he felt that, being elected by the ratepayers, they were still fitter to manage their affairs. The population of Clerkenwell was, in round numbers, 70,000, and there were elements at work in the pariah which would enable them better than at present to conduct their self government. There was an idea abroad that Clerkenwell should be looked upon as exceedingly poor and destitute, but Olarkenwell had never asked alma from its neighbours, although they had in their parish prisons and other go vernment establishments that slid not pay rates—(hear, bear)—and its inhabitants manufactured the finest speci mens of mechanical skill in watchmaking and jewellery, which were sent to almost every part of the world. Clerk. unwell was well off, because every house in it was • hive of industry, and ho might add that the pauperism of the parish woe created by the people employed in the City, where rent was high, being obliged to live in Clerkenwell. Mr. NEYWELL, RAMIE mover of the resolution referred to, said be true not there to defend the sine of the board of nerd' s, but to protest against the ratepayers being de piiv nerd ti right which they had enjoyed for more than 250 hat of relieving their own poor. It was emi nee a ratepayers' question—far beyond one of pounds, shillings, and pence—because it involved the unnecessary interference with the rights and privileges of the parish. If Clerkenwell had a population of only 10,000, it might be well to unite it to other parishes, but its population, according to the last census, was 65,000, and he might just remind his lordship that there were fifty provincial towns, each of • smaller population, that returned two members to parliament. The Earl of DEVON—We are not going to have a reform debate ; surely we may eschew that. (Laughter.) Mr. SatWILL said he was not going to talk politics, but he thought with such • population they ought to have the privilege of returning their own members of their board without being connected with any other parish. The Rev. R. MAGUIRE said his reason for attending on the deputation was that, in his capacity of incumbent of Clerkenwell, he endeavoured to take an interest in the material as well as the spiritual affairs of the parish. As ex officio chairman of the vestry and of other boards, he was bound to take that interest. The direction of thought he was inclined to take was with reference to that which they might possibly regard as • probability—their being taken into the West Loudon Union. He was prepared, in common with his friends present, to contradict the remarks made at the deputation to his lordship last week, in which Clerkenwell was called the poorest and most destitute pariah in the metropolis. Taking the rates of other parishes rempanstively, it would be found that Clerkenwell was rather up to than beyond them. Some parishes paid 6s. esi. in the pound, while Clerkenwell paid only 3e., so that he thought it rather hard that they should be set down as the poorest and most destitute pariah in the metropolis. Clerkenwell was MI industrious parish. It dui not lack wealth, and was not likely to do so. The people were industrious and equal to their opportunities. There was no parish in Lon don in which building societies had taken so deep a root among the people, and that gave promise that they would not decline ; and the habits of the mechanics were still paving the way for still better prospects. The City unions must not ignore their relotions with the suburban pa rishes. It was scarcely just that they should cast the latter over as if they were unworthy of annexation to them. He meant to say that the City of London proper hod an inheritance—• weighty and responsible one—with regard to the welfare of the masses of the people in the suburbs. Many of the working people in Clerkenwell went into the City of London daily to their work. If his lordship took his stand at St. John's-gate or at a point in Farringdon-street at one o'clock in the afternoon, he would see the working people thronging to their dinners towards Clerkenwell, and re turning again to give their toil, labour, and the sweat of their brow to the City houses. His lordship knew that this constant labour became the ally of poverty ? and seine day over-work and old age inevitably brought tt on. He therefore meast to say that if the City received their work as long as they could have it and it could be given, 1 they ought not to consider it an uncalled for task to have common cause with the people outside the City in the day of poverty. Besides, as the people have to leave the City, it tended to much overcrowding, and this largely increased poverty. The authorities must, in the present condition of London, wink at overcrowding, but during the present time overcrowding was a necessity. For these two reasons —that their people worked in the City, and that there was overcrowding inClerkenwell and the surrounding suburbs— he felt that their poverty was. to a large extent, caused by the City of London, in Clerkenwell and in that part of the City west of St. Paul's. On these grounds he contended that as long as they contributed working people to the City, and poverty overtook their people, they ought not to be ignored by the City. He was disposed to maintain the entity and position of their self-governing bodies. There were gentlemen present who belonged to worthy bodies of men who devoted their time unpaid to the services of the poor. If there should come a necessity for annexation of Clerkenwell to any other body, let it be with the West London Union. By having their people working in the City, Clerkenwell was overcrowded. There fore ought the City to make common cause with them. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of Darns said be was very glad to find that in the remarks of the reverend gentleman he recognised the force of one consideration which had been present to the minds of the Poor-law Board when they proposed the union or annexation which now formed the subject of objection, namely, that there was, to • considerable extent, • com munity of interests between the City and the parishes out side the City boundary. One point of view which Mr. Maguire put, namely, that much of the work done in the City was done by persons living outside the boundary was one of the considerations which led to the conclusion at which the board arrived. In the comes the Poor-law Board took nothing could be further from their intention [STAMPED, U. ADDITIONAL.] that to ignore the spirit of independence and of industry which always characterised the parish of Clerkenwell; and if any unpleasant expression came from any gentle man in that room last week, it did not come from his (Lord Devon's) side of the table. (Hear, hear.) He was' glad to find the alteration in the mode of electing the' guardians had met with the general approval of the gen. I tlemen present, because it was the object of the Poor- law Board, in any alteration they might think necessary to make, to have the active support of the gentlemen whom the alteration was likely to affect. It had been mentioned that so good a body of guardians would be elected under the altered system that they might be very well left to manage their own affairs. He was not prepared to deny that a considerable improvement would take place in the consti tution of the board, and that young men of mental and bodily vigour would be elected upon it. It had been urged by the resolution that Clerkenwell being so important a parish ought not to be placed under the control of one con taining a lees number of inhabitants. The West London contained only 26,000, while Clerkenwell possessed tili,ooo inhabitants, and of course in any combination that might take place it would be the duty of the Poor-law Board to see that the number of guardians of each component part should be so regulated as not to admit of any undue con trol being exercised over the parish of ClerkenwelL With reference to the remark that the Clerkenwell guardians had carried out the general recommendations of the Poor law Board as far as practicable, he had been under rather a different Impression, and he found from returns dating from 1•56, that the recommendations of the board had not always been carried out as effectually as their importance required. With regard to the user ' non that the parish was able to manage its own affairs, be might say that the board had before them within the last two or three weeks representations made from the pariah, praying for an extension of time to pay certain debts attaching to the parish, and the board were obliged, under the statute, to extend the time. It was, therefore, a question whether the parish was in every way so prosperous as had been represented. As to the proposed mums to which the deputation objected, the board simply wished by it to carry out the act of parliament in its true spirit for the purpose of improving the classification, and providing better accommodation for the sick. He be lieved that the deputation would agree with him that the accommodation at present afforded for the sick was not that which, under the present and more bust view, as to the requirements of the sick than existed some years ago, was by any means adequate. He need not say that the board would carefully consider the representations mad* to them. They bad not come to any decision on the point. (Hear, hear.) They had very strong representa tions against the union from the West London Union. They had various considerations before them which would receive their best attention. No hasty decision would be arrived at ; and, whatever that decision might be, the de putation would give the board credit for doing the best they could. CLERICAL AND LAY CONFERENCE AT IPSWICH. This conference commenced its sittings at the Lecture-hall, Ipswich, on Wednesday. Contrary to expec tation, the prom were admitted. Upwards of 200 gentle men were present on Wednesday. The Chairman, the Rev. E. Hollond, of Benhall-lodge, in opening the confer ence, said the report of the Ritualistic Commission was more favourable than they had reason to expect. consider ing the component parts of the commission ; but it was very uncertain whether any action would be taken upon it. Dr. Colenso's party was as virulent as ever ; thus they had the pressure of superstition on the one hand and of infidelity on the other, which indeed, he might say, had been the normal state of the church during its existent*. He had no specific to propose, but this he might say with confi dence that se the errors in both directions bad sprung from a departure from God's word, so the remedy must be found in a closer adherence to that word. The Romanising party ishoxoured God's word because they preferred the fathers, rubrics strained to meet their own notions, and all such things as were apart from God's word. They did not indeed speak very much of the article, of the church, for the articles contained some rather inconvenient references to the word of God ; hence less was said about the articles than any other portion of the Pra7er - book . The other party—the Colenso party—went aoove articles, above church services, and above the Scriptures. With refer ence to their own position (as evangelicals) there must be no compromise with error. Compromise with those who beset the foundation of faith was to be avoided by all pos sible means. The Rev. James Bardsley, rector of St. Ann's, Manchester, followed with au address upon Chris tian holiness and its counterfeit. Defining Christian holi ness to be, in general terms, conformity to the image and to the law of Jesus, he went on to point out that monasti cism was a counterfeit. Ceremonialism was another— asceticism was another counterfeit, as was the identifica tion of the reception of a particular doctrine with conver sion. He reminded them that the church did not con,ist of the clergy alone, but it was the congregation of faithful men—clergy and laity. The Rev. H. James, rector of Livermore, expressed his concurrence with Mr. Bardsley's views ; and the Rev. C. F. Childe, rector of Holbrook, introduced the next subject, " Organised union of protestant churchmen—is it desirable!" He answered this question in the affirmative. Some urged that their organisation should be directed against ritualism ; others saw no real danger in ritual, regarding it as a thing of mere mummery, to use Sidney Smith's phrase, of posture and imposture. But the real evil was that which ritualism symbolised and aimed at—a revival of catholic doctrine, a reunion with the catholic church. If they could eliminate all the Popish doctrines from the " Tracts for the Times," or from the celebrations at Well-street or St. Alban's, they might well agree to tolerate, whilst they pitied the residuum. He contended that organisation was necessary against Popery. Whilst the number of priests and catholic establiabmeuts had increased, protestant spirit had decayed. He com plained of the defective education of the clergy. There must be organisation and union. Ritualists were admir able organisers, and aa to Popery it WAS one organised con spiracy against truth. Their task was threefold—it must be defensive, educational, and offensive. The Rev. S. Bardsley thought Mr. Childe's picture exaggerated, fo4be =seemly believed in the progress of Popery in the United Kingdom. The Rev. Mr. Raker thought an organisation desirable. Several interesting subjects were introduced yesterday, but the sittings concluded too late to render the last up train available. THE NATIONAL REFORM UNION.—The usual , weekly meeting of the executive was held on Tuesday evening in the Council Chamber, Gladstone-buildings, Manchester ; Me. Wm. Stokes, one of the vice-presidehts, in the chair. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and confirmed, and a numerous correspondence from members of parliament, secretaries of branch associations, and others, was read. The agent reported that arrange ments had been made by branch associations for holding meetings this week at Rochdale, Newton-le-Willows, Crewe, Glossop, Waterfoot, and Itomendale, for the pur pose of considering the operation of the new Reform Act, and what course should be adopted by reformers in refe rence to it. The following delegates, appointed to attend the forthcoming conferences, were also reported:—Crewe, Messes. J. Williams, J. Hudson, and C. Wright ; War rington, Messrs. P. Itylands, J. Burgess, John Oros field, Thomas Birchall, G. F. Podmore. and John Ashton ; Todmorden, Charles Chambers and James Fielden ; Tot. tington, S. Knowles and John Heap ; Hebden Bridge, Wm. Jackson, J. Jackson, and W. Webster; Bradford, R. Kell; S. O. Kell, Alderman Law, A. Illingworth, Councillor Whitehead, Councillor Turner, Alderman Smith, E. But terworth, E. Thomas, J. E. Jenkinson ; Openahaw, Hall, George Bertenahaw. Wm. Storey, J. Brown. J. H. Crosfield ; Gorton B. Perkins, Wm. Mare, E. Garner, Roe Green. M.kawlinacin, James Mullineux. It was stated that interesting papers would shortly be pre pared and submitted to the executive, on the electoral systems of France, Prussia, and the United States; also that Mr. Macqueen, the editor of the Financial Reformer, would read a paper on taxation and ex penditure during the last sixteen years. A meeting of the Rochdale branch of the National Reform ! Union was held on Tuesday evening, in the Tern pence Hall, Rochdale, to consider the new Reform Act. Mr. W. Shepherd presided, and the Rev. J. Freestone, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Mark Price spoke on the probable operation of the new act, and urged the necessity for not giving up agitation. Mr. Price argued from figures what • sham the bill was, and bow little it would affect the present borough and county constituencies. It had been stated that, although Rochdale was one of the boroughs which had not adopted the compounding system, they had always paid the rates in the rent, and the landlord had paid them in full ; but now the owners were giving notice to the occupiers that the same rent must in future be psid, and each person must pay his own rates. The general opinion was that the bill would increase the rent of the occupiers in Rochdale, and was everything but satisfactory. It was determined to keep up the organisation, and to increase the number of its members. Delegates were appointed to attend the conference to be held at Manchester._ THE REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD.—The mag nificent meeting of Mr. Miall's friends on Tuesday night is a general theme of conversation in Bradford, and the spirits of his supporters, which before were elastic and buoyaut, have been quickened still more by the reception that was given to Mr. Mall by the vest assembly that crowded every nook and cranny of St. George's-hall. The chairman ad vised those who intended to vote to hold up both hands, and rare is it indeed to sue upwards of 8,000 hands held up in favour of one man. Whether he be returned or not as member for Bradford, it must have been a proud moment for Mr. Miall, and he could hardly fail to feel- as no doubt he did feel—that the well-spent labour of his life had not been in vain, for here was the grateful and hearty reeponee of those for whose emancipation from civil and religious disabilities he had consistently and moat persistently worked fora generation.—Lerds Afercurv. [TWOPENCE 1 A NEW DEVELOPMENT OP RITUALISM. --...- I The " Society of the Holy Cross"—an associa tion of "priests" of the church of England, belonging to the ultra-ritualist section, circulated an address at Wolverhampton during the meeting of the Church Con grass, explaining the constitution and objects of the insti„ tution. The address bears the *nature of the Rev. A. H Mackonochie, as "Master," andTves the subjoined account of the society : "This society has beendeunded for the primary purpose of deepening, by means of • definite rule, the spiritual life in its brethren. It is restricted to bishops, priests, and deacons, and bona Ale candidates for h o ly o rders. The originat ors of the society were convinced that work for Christ in His church could only be effectively done by those over whom the spirit of His own life on earth had gained some hold ; and, on the other hand, that this spirit can only retain its hold upon the character of a priest when it finds its expression in vigorous action within the sphere of his calling. Hence the features of the society are twofold : its interior rule, acting upon the character, and its outward work, leading the brethren to take their position towards the world u the possessors of a supernatural life and com mission, which must either die out or extend its influence to others. Its interior rule is divided into three degrees— the green rule, which is binding upon every brother ; the red role, with a stricter obligation ; and the white rule restricted to celibates, still more stringent in its require ments. Besides these, there is a roll of celibates to which any brother nag belong without binding himself to the obligations of the stricter rules. No greater obligation than the green rule is required of any brother, but all are encouraged to avail themselves (as they may be inwardly called) of the two stricter, or voluntary rules. Three standards of daily life of increasing strictness, correspond ing to the three rules of the society, have been drawn up, and recommended to the brethren to be observed by them. The external work of the society is directed to the de fence and extension of catholic faith and discipline. This it endeavours to effect by establishing and working in home and foreign minions, by conducting retreats and minions ' issuing tracts and other publications, and by frequentmeetinge,andby correspondenc e between brethren and others engaged in like work. Green Rule : 1. Every brother is to pray daily for the church and society ; using either the ' officium propriiun,' or the throe collects in the office. 2. When two brethren meet, the elder is to salute the younger in the words, ' Pax tibi,' to which the younger shall reply, Per Crucem '—except in the presence of strangers. 3. Every brother is to at tend all the synods and chapters of the society he can, and positively the synod of May the 3rd (11017 Cross Day), unless unavoidably de tained ; in which case he shall communicate to the master or secretary. 4. Every brother is to pay a sub , scription of not less than Rh. • year. Each brother upon his admission to the society is required to make the follow , log promise :—' I, N. or It., do hereby . promise to carry out, u far as I can, the objects of the society of the Holy, Cross, and to keep the rules of the society ; also that I shall be ready to render all brotherly aid, bob in temporal and in spiritual things, to those with whom I am bound in this holy bond.' He afterwards says the Nicene Creed. Standard of daily Woof the green rule.-1. Rise not later than 7.30 a.m. 2. Commend the day to God at first waking, and the night at going to bed, by saying ' Gloria Petri,' he., or some other form ; and at rising and lying down, sign yourself with the sign of the cross, saying, In Nomine Patris' &c. 3. Communicate on a ll Sundays and holy days of possible fasting), or st least be present at the celebration. If hindered from sacramental communion, make an act of spiritual communion. 4. Observe the rule of the church, to my matins and evensong daily, either publicly or privately. 5. l'se a preparation before and a thanksgiving after Holy Communion, li. Examine your self daily. 7. Read daily a portion of Holy Scriptures (on your knees, if possible), as God's voice to you ; this may be blended with mental prayer, or with study. 8. Say daily, at mid-day o ffi ce, which may be the office of the so ciety ; and compline,whicb may be family devotion. 9. Say grace, at least privately, before and after every meal. Food.-1. Use all food to repair the daily decays of nature, and not for self-indulgence. 2. Observe the days of fast ing and abstinence appointed by the church. Dress.— Avoid underlaid attire. Recreation.—Avoid all theatres, ball', and such other amusements as might prove an oc casion of scandal. Study.—Gain, if possible, at least half an hour daily for study of Holy Scripture, or theological reading. Societe.-1. Do not speak evil or disparagingly of any one, except as a distinct duty. 2. Avoid frivolous and unedifying conversation, especially in female society. 3. Never quote Holy Scripture, except for some religious or useful purpose." Members of the society are strictly enjoined to declare publicly and privately the doctrine of " the revel objective, presence in the Eucharist ;" and they are also exhorted to ' offer the Holy Sacrifice" with the " intention" of promoting the objects of the society. The immediate adoption of " vestments, lights, and other ad- Juana" of ritualistic service is also enjoined. OPENING OF A DOMINICAN CHURCH IN LONDON. —The ceremony of opening St. Dominic church at Haverstock-hill took place yesterday, and excited great interest among the Roman catholic community, by whom it is looked upon as the resuscitation of the Dominican order in England. High mass was celebrated at 11 o'clock, the catholic bishop of Northampton, Dr. Amherst, being the celebrant. Archbishop Manning, attired in his archiepiscopal robes, was present, as were also Moosignor Fraud, a member of the papal ministry ; Monsignor Cataidi, Bishop of Thessalonla in parrehos ; Monsignor Eyre, Monsignor Searle, the Very Rev. Father Aylward, provincial of the Dominicans in England ; Dr. Russell, provincial of the Dominicans in Ireland ; and representatives of the following orders :—Auguatinians, Carmelites, Capuchins, Jesuits, Oratorians, fathers of Charity, fathers of the Pions Society of Missions, Oblates of St. Charles, Oratorians of St. Philip Neri, Suns of St. Benedict, Sons of St. Paul, and Sufis of St. Philip. Archbishop Manning preached • sermon based upon the words "To know Christ, and Him cruci fied," taken from St. Paul to the Corinthians. At the termination of the mass, the clergy and laity ad jonrned to the refectory where a public dtjcuncr was served. Archbishop Manning presided, sod in proposing the health of "His Holiness the Pope," referred to the insurrectionary movement against Rome which he pro phesied would end in utter failure and confusion. He said that the friends of the Holy Father remembering that the tranquillity of the Holy See bad been disturbed no leas than forty-six times, should not feel uneasiness at auy triumphs which Isis enemies may obtain, because at most they would be only momentary. The toast having been drunk with much wrath, a hymn for the Pope was sung by • number of the eletgy. Monsignor Franci responded in Italian. "Success and Prosperity tothe Dominican Onler,* was then proposed, and, responded to by the Very Rev. Father Aylward, provincial of the Dominican order in England, and the proceedings of the dejenner terminated with the drinking of the health of Archbishop Manning. Only • very small part of the priory which is to be erected by the Dominicans at Haverstock-hill is as yet ready for occupation. The church will be a very large structure, capable of accommodating 6,000 persons, and its com pletion, and that of the monastic establishments in con nexion with it are expected to take place in about three years. The apartment which is used as a church at pre sent is intended to be the library. The sum required for the erection of the entire pile is estimated at upwards of 40,0001., and more than half that amount has yet to be procured. The idea of establishing the priory on the present site is due to the Rev. Austin Hooke, to whose exertions principally the success of the work is attributed. REFORM MEETING AT NORWICH.—We learn that at a meeting at Norwich last evening • letter was read from Mr. Gladstone, decidedly adhering to his views in opposition to the personal payment of rater. OUTCAsTS i e WINDSoIt PARK.—YDEIDTd&V, at the Windsor petty sessions, held at the Town-hall, two wretchedly-clad young women, named Mary Lane and Sarah Beesley were brought up under somewhat remark , able circumstances. From the evidence of George Parker, the keeper of the LongWrilk,it appeared that the prisoners belonged to the class of women known as " unfortunates." They had for some time almost made the Great Park their home, sleeping at night under she trete, or whatever shelter they could find. Their ablutions were performed in the Deer Pond, in which piece of water they had also washed their clothes, and they ran about the park in a semi-nude elate while their clothes were drying on the trees. As substitutes for eombs, the women used small pieces of wood or inciter matches, and their rude toilettes had been performed without alrounc in the presence of the general public and bdica is imirri.ivs as they parsed through the park. They were principally sup ported by the soldiers, who brought them their rations, which they were enabled to take from the barracks with out attracting observation by concealing the food within the lining of their caps. Their conduct with the soldiers, who were often led to remain out all night with them in stead of returning to bar racks, attracted the yolke of the Long Walk keeper, who, after all remonstrance had failed, was obliged to prosecute them. After some consultation the magistrates dismissed the woolen upon their promis ing to enter an asylum in which the Rev. Mr. Thompson. curate of New Windsor, who was present, offered to try and get them admittance. THE CRoi'a AND WEATHER.—MALTON, THURN DAY.—We have now had a week of winter, with hail, snow. lightning and rain. The prettified " Michaelmas summer" is not likely to occur, the preacher being cold and raw ; but the "Michaelmas hatred " has also not taken plisse. a field of corn out now being quite • rarity. The latter part of the harvest was of the best psysible weather. giving both dry straw and dry corn. W heat is owe-third short, barley is good, and oats iust a fair crop. Potatoes one-half bad.
