CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The December session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning at the Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (W. F. Allen, Esq.), the Recorder (the Right Hon. Russell Gurney, (4.C.) Mr. Alderman Finuis, Mr. Alderman Dakin, Mr. Alder man and Sheriff stone, Mr. Sheriff McArthur, and the Under-Sheriffs (Messrs. Davidson and Roche). The first edition of the calemLa shows a total of 66 prisoners standing for trial, and the offences are classified in the fol lowing manner :—Arson, 4 ; bigamy, 3 ; burglary, , feloniously uttering counterfeit coin, 8 ; em bezalement, 4 ; forgery, 5 ; larceny, 6 ; la rceny from the person, 1 ; larceny as a servant, 4 ; libel, 1 ; mis demeanour. I; ; murder, 4 ; perjury, 1 ; rape, 1; robbery, 1.; ; felonioudy wounding, 3. The llecortiCr„ in changing the grand jury, said the cases to be brought under their consideration were not nume rous, but he was sorry to say that there were two charges of murder. The first was that against two persons named Thomson and Webb for the wilful murder of George Frede rick *Limes, at Hammersmith. The deceased was stabbed to the heart by some sharp instrument, and on the prisoners being apprehended a knife oovered with blood was found upon Thomson, and if the circumstances came out as stated in the depositions, the crime committed by hhn would certainly be a capital offence ; but with regard to the other prisoner, Webb, there was nothing to show that be was acting in concert with Thomson in indicting the fatal wound on the deceased. The second charge of murder was against Sarah Amos, • domestic servant. It was suspected that she had been confined, and on being spoken to in reference to the matter she explained that the child would be found in • box. This turned out to be the ease, and death was aacertained to have been caused by strangulation. There was a charge of theft and arson against George Burnett and Mary Willis, who occupied apartments. They were observed to leave their lodgings, and shortly after wards smoke was seen to issue from their rooms. The allegation of the prisoners was that the place had been set on tire and ransacked by thieves, but duplicates for the missing articles were found on the female prisoner. The learned recorder next referred briefly to the charge of lar ceny spinet Williams, a gaol warder, and some other cases, anti the grand jury thereafter retired to their room for deliberation. The FORGERIES AND FRAUDS UPON IHE LEEDS RANK. It is understood that the case of Mr. Edgeley, who stands oommitted to take his trial for defrauding the late Leeds Rank of more than 100,0001. by means of forgery and false pretences in connexion with a forest company in Servia, for which it was represented • concession had been granted by the Servian government, will be placed on the list for trial before the judges on Wednesday at the Central Criminal Court. This case has b.een be fore the public for a very considerable period, and has created very great interest on account of the position of the defendant, who for many years carried on business as a merchant in the city of London, and the large amount of which it was nted he had defrauded the bank, th e t o t a l sum Zre r g e eil to have been obtained by him being more then 120,000 f., the loss of so large an amount of money having to a certain extent led to the stoppage of the bank in question, which up to that time had enjoyed a high repu tation in the county of York. The case has been post poned session after session, upon the application of the defendant, principally upon the ground that Mr. Greenland, the teenager of the bank, through whose instrumentality the money was originally admitted to the defendant, was at Geneva, and declined to come to England to give his evidence. It will be recollected thati Mr. Greenland was convicted of making a false declaration in reference to the affairs of thelbank,and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, but was subsequently released on account of the state of hit health. He then, it appeared, went abroad, and it would seem that he now refuses to come forward and give his evidence, and as he is not within the jurisdiction of the court there are no means of compelling him to do so. It is doubtful under these circumstances whether the trial can proceed, and it is said that an application will be made for another postponement of the trial. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERICENWELL. DisTREIP4 ARISING OUT OF THE LATE FENIAN OUTRAGE. A young widow, with a sickly-looking child in her arms, applied to Mr. Cooke under the folio circumstances : She add —I am a taileress, and my husband having died, leaving me with this child to support, I worked with my brother, who is • tailor, and lived at No. 3A, Corpora tion-row, the house which was blown completely down by the explosion. On Friday last on' oing to my dinner at 1 o'clock my brother told me that I need n o t re t urn as there would be no more work to be done that afternoon. I went away, and • few hours afterwards the explosion took place, blowing my brother's house down, and burying the whole of his furniture beneath the ruins. My poor sister-in-law was killed, and my mother is now in the hos pital. My brother being totally ruined lam without work or money to buy food for either my child or myself, and my object in applying to you is to ask if you could grant me some temporary assistance. Mr. Cooke put several questions which were answered readily, and to all appearanoe satisfactorily ; be then observed—This is a case which I shall certainly relieve by giving something now, although only a trifle, to assist you temporarily, but you can apply here again -morrow,when probably more substantial relief will be men. A small sum of money having been given to the appli. cant, she thanked the magistrate and retired. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A HAN CHARGED WITH FOUR ASSAULTS. Tinntas /Celle, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyr whin with assaulting a man named John Keefe and Police constables Gordon, 33 C, Cane, 35 C, and Goseltine, 47 C. On the case being called on Keefe was not in attendance. Goseltine said—About 10 o'clock on Saturday night I was in Little Pulteney.street, when I saw the prisoner making • great disturbance, and wanting to fight every body he came near. I go t him away three times, and on his returning again I asked him to go away, and on his re fusing I took him into custody. He went quietly • little way, when be became very violent, kicked me several times, and it took five of us to get him to the station house, and on the way he assaulted sonic of the other constables. Gordon said—About 10 o'clock on Saturday while pass ing Little Pultenerstreet, I saw the prisoner strike • female and others, and • man named Keefe gave the prisoner into custody for assaulting him, and on the Last witness taking him into custody he became very violent, kicking him and everybody near, being upon the ground at the time. Know ing the prisoner, I told the last witness and another constable who was assisting him, to let the prisoner walk ii he would do so, and as soon as the prisoner got up he gave me a blow between the eyes, and kicked me. He then seized my coat with hie teeth, no doubt thinking he was biting my wrist, and I bad to strike lihn with my umbrella, I being in plain clothes at the time, to make him release his hold. On the way to the station he behaved with the greatest violence, being more like a cannibal than a Christian. Cane said—Seeing the prisoner kicking the witnesses, I went to their assistance, then the prisoner struck me • violent blow on the chest, and then kicked me. After going a portion of the way to the station, he refused to walk any further, and we had to carry him. Tyrwhitt— Was the prisoner drunk? Conlon—He had been drinking, but knew what he was about. The prisoner—l've nothing to say. It's no use saying an ; I wee drunk. Ir. Tyrwhitt- For the assault on Gordon you will go to prim for a mouth without • fine, and for each of the other assaults you will have to pay 40e., or a month. It quite necessary to check the violence which at the Present time is floating about. SOUTHWARK. HOUSEBREAKING AND SIVTILATION OF ONE OF THE PRISONERS. Pronris Patrick, Williass Arled, and Charles Jones, rut (Air-looking men, the latter much disfigured about the head and neck owing to his falling through • skylight in his attempt to escape, were brought before Mr. Partridge, for filial examination charged with breaking into the dwel ling house of Joseph' Walker, 11G, Stamford-street, and st..ling from the roof about 3 cwt. of lead.

FENIAN OUTRAGES. THE CLERKENWELL EXPLOSION. LATEST PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a statement got abroad that the man who actually set fire to the fusee had been arrested. At Bow-street station, however, the officials positively said that the statement in question was false. They also stated that no arrest bad been made since Friday. We believe, however, that upon this latter point, at least, they are under a mistake. A man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of being the person who fired the train. He was confronted with the eye-witnesses of the outrage but they failed to Identify him. He was thereupon set at liberty. The prisoners Allen, Desmond, and Ann Justice, are not, as has been already stated, in the House of Deten tion. They are confined in a much stronger prison, which from its situation can be more effectually guarded. They will be brought up to-day under an escort to Bow-street police-court. The authorities particularly desire that the name of the prison in which the accused are at present lodged should not be published ; but the secret is no doubt as well known to Fenian head centres as it is to other persons. All this morning hundreds of persons visited the vicinity of the prison in order to view the scene of the explosion. Inspector Potter, of the G division, this morning re ceived 501. to distribute amongst the sufferers by the ex plosion, on the part of the government. The funds set apart by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the relief of the sufferers by the calamity are being given away in MUMS of from 21. to 51. The windows which have been smashed by the concussion iU the neighbouring streets, are being repaired by quite an army of glaziers. This afternoon their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and the Princess Mary visited the spot. No other deaths have taken place at the hospitals. We were informed this afternoon that all the wounded, with but one or two execptions, are progressing satisfactorily towards recovery. ATTEMPT TO FIRE A CITY WAREHOUSE. The report that an attempt had been made to fire the extensive premises of Messrs. Perna% clothiers, Bishopsgate-street, has attracted a large number of persons to the spot during this morning. The premises were closed at 2 o'clock on Saturday, after which time there were only four female servants and two shop•boys in the house. From the statement of one of the boys, it seems that at about a quarter to 11, when everything was quiet, he heard a noise resembling that of a bottle being broken, and on looking out of the window he was alarmed at the appearance of dames at the lower part of the building. With the others in the house he ran downstairs; but in the meantime assistance had arrived, and it was dis covered that the damage was confined to the door in the court at the side of the premises. It is thought that phew. phortui was employed, and it is the opinion of the police and others that the affair is another outrage on the part of the Fenians. Just before the attempt was made a man wearing a flannel jacket was seen standing at the end of the court. He left hastily after first looking down the court, and immediately afterwards the flames were seen. Messrs. Parnall give employment to over 3,000 hands. ALLEGED FENIAN OUTRAGE IN GROSVENOR-SQUARE. The Morning Post gives exclusively an account of an attempt on Saturday night to set fire to a house in Grosvenor-square. It would appear that about 1 o'clock yesterday morning a policem►n on duty in the vicinity saw dames bursting from the wi tulow of the library, a front room, of No. 4, the property of Mr. Freke, broths/ of Lord Car bery, late in the possession of Earl Fitzwilliam, and now in course of interior reconstruction. He found the window of the room covered with a phosphoric sub st►nce, from which the vap3ur proceeded, and the room within alight. Having sprung his rattle, he was quickly joined by three other policemen. In the meantime the watchman in charge of the premises, in a state of great alarm, had opened the hall-door. The constables on getting into the library found that a bottle containing the substance known as " Greek fire" had been thrown at the window, but fortunately only the neck of the bottle and a small portion of the contents had entered the apartment. A considerable part of the floor was on fire, but the flames seem to have been soon extin guished. Tho night porter states that he had just com pleted his round of the house when he heard a crash at the window,' and on making his way upstairs be was nearly suffocated by white smoke. The perpetrator of the outrage escaped. POLICE PRECAUTIONS. The polioe authorities at Great Scotland-yard, acting in concert with the Home-office, have die. posed of the whole of the force under their coin. mind in • manner which is regarded as the best for their protection against Fenian out rages. The several detachments and stationi have been placed within rapid communication, and the reserves are on such • footing that very strong bodies of armed police, mounted and foot, can be quickly despatched to any part of the metropolis. The officers of the Guards are also prepared to support them on the instant. Within a few minutes a strong force of the Guards and police could be brought into action, and, if necessary, in a very short time they would be aided by some thousands of troops, all of whom carry the Snider ride. So far as any direct attack is concerned, the authorities could immediately repress it ; but it is not thought that hostility will be shown in any such manner. The only apprehension is that outrages may be attempted which would equal in recklessness the Manchester attack, and the one in London. A very large number of detectives are on duty, and every place, where public or private property, which it is thought might be a point of attack, are closely watched by them. The Tower, the various royal buildings, and every depot of arms belonging to the regular volunteer services, are carefully guarded. The government has had information recently for warded to them which caused au apprehension that if any. thing were attempted it would be a seizure of arms, as the Irish constabulary, in particular, have at various times taken a very large quantity from the conspirators. Special reports are made throughout the day, so that the commis sioners at the chief office are continually informed of all that is passing. At the same time, persons having the control of important business premises would do well to see that they are properly watched, especially in case of fire. The efficient fire brigade under command of Cap tain Shaw is of course alw►ys kept in • state for instant service. A SHOCKING STORY OF STARVATION AND DEATH. On Friday some extraordinary disclosures were made before the deputy-coroner of Shropshire, Mr. Bid. lake, whilst holding an inquest near Oakengates, on the body of a man named Holmes, whose death had resulted, in a great measure, from starvation. The deceased, with his wife and two children, inhabited a pit cabin, situated at an elevation cf 3o or 40 feet above the turnpike-road, near Hollirumood, at • point much exposed to the weather. The cabin is only some 9 or 10 feet long, and is roofed with clods and soil, and here the miserable family lived—if such a term can be applied to their existence. When the coroner and jury visited the cabin, to view the body, they found it stretched upon an old oak dresser, which, with a bench and stool formed the sole furniture of the place. There was no bedstead or bedding, and the wife said they were in the habit of sleeping on the floor. Nine pence per week was paid to the Lillaihall Company for the use of the hut, by the relieving officer of the Shitinal Union, who, it was stated in evidence, refused to give the wretched family relief, because, as be alleged, they did not reside in his district, but in that of Woinbridge, whilst the officer of the latter refused, because he contended that they belonged to ShiffnaL By this means the wretched father was unrelieved in the hour of sickness, and so has perished. One of the daughters of the de ceased man said that her father sat himself down upon the dresser, exclaimed, "Oh, my poor stomach," fell off and died. He had never had a doctor, as they were too poor. The wife of ther fellow gave evidence to the e ff ect that she applied for poo • pair of shoes from the °Meer. He said, " Pretty well to pay Od. a week rent for you." Her husband had not done regular work for years, and the family had lived upon 6d. per day. If they got one meal a day they thought themselves very wall off. Wit ness was almost without clothes, and one of the children wore her (witness's) petticoats. A sympathising clergy. man gave deceased a little medicine, and this relieve I him. This was all the medicine be had. They were iu the habit of begging, and some days they had not a move' to put in their lips. The jury, having heard all the facts, returned a verdict that " Deceased died from an affection of the heart, accelerated by a want of the necessaries of life."—Birminghant Post. THE ANNUAL GREAT CATTLE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) We are glad to be giving our report of this im portant annual gathering under more favourable aus/.ices than on the two last occasions. Two years since we were right in the midst of the cattle plague ; last year it still lingered with us, although greatly abated ; now we are happy to say it has disappeared. Our country friends are in better spirits, and their faces have lost that deep expression of anxiety which characterised them when the deadly rinderpest was m►king such fearful havoc amongst their herds. They have, however, suffered greatly, and the topic of to-day is, what are the best preventive measures! The market authorities, we perceive, have adopted the principle of separation between foreign and English stock to a certain extent, having placed them on different sides of the market. The restrictions are, however, still retained which prevent cattle once exposed in the metropolitan market from being moved beyond a very limited radius. This is felt by our English graziers to be a grievance, as of necessity it decreases competition by keeping away a large number of country butchers. In order to the re moval of these restrictions, government proposes that an entirely separate market should be held for the foreign stock near to the place of landing. This scheme, of course, finds its opponents ; the City authorities fear they shall lose revenue by this course. Many of the graziers here to-day say they have been prevented sending their cattle to London on account of the restrictions, and no doubt if the separation were carried out there would be a much larger supply of English stock, as well as an increase in the number of purchasers. We mast, however, confess that unless the necessity of the case demanded it we shouldhesi. tate considerably before dividing a long established market. During the past year we have been but mcderately sup plied with beef, but much better than was expected con sidering the great loam that hasbeen experienced throughout the country; and prices have ruled rather high as corn. pared with other provisions. In consequence of the great risk involved in cattle feeding, the attention of graziers during the last two years has been more especially turned to sheep, and we have, therefore, had an abundant supply of them. Prices have been unusually low, and at the present time, our friends tell us, the country is full of sheep. We are also glad to hear good accounts of the winter keeping, so we may hope to obtain good food at a moderate rate for some time to come. We have to-day an excellent show of cattle ; a very level quality of beef throughout. All breeds are well repre sented. The shorthorns are not so plentiful as we have seen them on former occasions ; and we could hope that they were "sore largely patronised. This is decidedly the animal for the people, &vine a large weight of available meat. This description is so greatly improved that we do not now see the unseemly heaps of fat that once prevailed. The Scotch beasts are re markably good. The fortunate owner of the first polled Scotch prize at the Agricultural Hall (Mr. hicCombie) had 40 very choice ones here of • similar cha racter. The Herefords and Devons also are very good, especially the former, a breed which we should place next to shorthorns for the qualities above-named. We are not so plentifully supplied from the west country as we used to be. Indeed, there has been a falling off in this respect theselast few years. There are some ves/ fine large oxen from France ; but on the average our foreign supply does not present any thing to call for particular remark. In the sheep market we do not observe so many speci mens of a prize character as we have seen on former occasions, indeed there are very few. From Lincoln shire there are fewer than for many years past. We understand that it isnot found to be profitable tomake them so fat ; the price of tallow being very low, the butchers are not very willing to buy them. There are some very choice Devons on offer, which find purchasers. This class of sheep, although made fatter than usual for this special occasion, have a larger proportion of lean meat than the long woolled breed. The half-burls, however, are certainly the more general favourites, of which description we have a very good show. The large numbers exhibited in the early morning caused a dull trade amongst all descriptions of stock. The weather being bright bad a beneficial infin. once. The prices for beef are not so high as was expected but for sheep they are rather better. Seven. , bullocks remain unsold, but sheep are well cleared out. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

A correspondent writes to us from Merthyr yesterday :—" On Friday evening a most alarming acci dent occurred in the Abercwmboy Pit, in the Aber dare valley, which not only gave an idea of ' what a blower is,' but also showed how terrible they are in their character, and how, in all probability, they are the cause of most of our great explosions. Two hundred men were hard at work when one of them struck into a fissure, and in a moment a strong current of gas burst forth that in an incredible apace of time completely checked the ventilation. The men flew for their lives ; one lame man narrowly escaped suffocation as he was not able to keep pace with the rest. Happily no one was injured, and measures were at once taken to clear the workings of gas and restore the venti lation. Had this 'blower' not been discovered at the moment, or bad there been one damaged lamp, all or nearly all of these two hundred men would have been sacrificed. No more striking instance of the fact that awful calamities are at the mercy of any man or boy in a pit has been given of late years." The corporation of Southampton have granted permission to Dr. Bond, Mr. Preece, and Mr. Rankin, to establish in connexion with the Hartley Institu tion in that town a complete course of scientific instruc tion for engineering students, to embrace the following subjects, viz., mathematics, pure and applied ; chemistry, experimental physics, theory and practice of telegraphy, land surveying, principles and construction of machinery, general and mechanical drawing, and French and German. REVISION OF THE PRAYER BOOK.— A public meeting was held in the upper room of Westbourne-hall, on Thursday evening last, to hear an address from the Rev. Henry Fry, D.D., on this subject. The meeting was composed of members of all the evangelical churches, including many of the influential inhabitants of Bays water. After the address, which occupied an hour and a half, and was listened to with deep interest, a resolution affirming the necessity for the revision of the Prayer Book, removing all the pasaiges and forms now used to sanction Romanian, and for the union and co-operation of all pro testant*, was moved by Dr. Fry, seconded by Dr. Glad. stone, F.R.R. supported by the Rev. J. S. Russell and Colonel Brockman, and carried with but two dissentients, DEATH OP HER VAJzirry's STUD GROOM.—Mr. John Ransom, stud groom to her Majesty, died at his resi dence at the royal paddocks, Hampton Court, on Wednes day. after a severe illness. The deceased gentleman, who was in his 78th year, was on intimate terms with all the breeders, trainers, and owners of blood stock in England, by whom, and still more by a large circle of private friends, he was highly respected and beloved, while his loss will be long and deeply felt. With her Majesty, whom he served faithfully for no less a period than 26 years, he was au especial favourite, and on inure than one occasion, we believe, the Queen testified her sense of his merits by substantial tokens of her regard, in the shape of marriage presents to his daughters. In his profession, it will be acknowledged by all who are acquainted with him and it that be had few equals ; while as • man his uniform courtead his gentlemanly danour rocured him • good n ame s among all sort, of men. em e Before h p is connection with the royal stud, he had for 42 years, that is from the age of 10, been in the service of the late Lord Jersey, of Midilleton, Oxford, the owner of the celebrated horse Bay Middleton.— Windsor isprces.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. (THIS DAY.) The supply of beasts today is larger than we have had it on any "great market" since the year 18d3. The de mand is also comparatively limited, in consequence of the counts/ butchers not being allowed to take cattle home from this market. Trade generally is very dull, and several remain unsold. The average quality is good. The supply of sheep is good for the day. There are but few of a prize character. Choice qualities are selling rather dearer. A few choice calves mike higher rates. Our foreign supply consists of 1,330 beasts, 7,320 sheep, 207 calves, and 70 pigs. From Scotland there are 1,200 beasts ; Ireland, 490 ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 900 ; West Country, 230 ; and 3,920 from the North and Midland Counties.

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report an improved demand for both English and foreign at the reduction in prios. The latest advice' from the Continent state that their markets are everywhere firmer, and choice temples commaud higher rates on account of the demand from America. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.—(THDEI DAY.) There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane b-day, the quality of which was rather inferior. Both red and white qualities met a slow sale at about the prices current on Monday last. Foreign wheat—the show of which waa extensive—was in retail demand at that day's rates. Fine parcels of barley—both English and foreign—were in steady request at full prices, but inferior sorts were dull. The malt trade was very heavy, at unaltered quotations. The supply was somewhat extensive. Oats were plentiful and rather cheaper, but all sound corn sold freely. Beans commanded little attention, but we have no change to notice in price. White peas were plentiful, and again easier, but grey and maple qualities are steady in value. Maize was held on former terms. Linseed and rapeseed were firm at improving =WIDOWS. Cloverseed and trefoils were unaltered. Tares changed hands at last week's prices. The flour trade was heavy, but miller, made no change in the top price of town made. Country marks and American barrels still tend downwards. The floating cargo trade has been rather more active, although the transactions have not, by any means, been on an extensive scale. The arrivals of wheat have been good, but the quality of the samples has generally been inferior, and prices have consequently given way about le. per quarter.

How TO Pc ill TRADE.—In the course of a trial at Westminster the other day • witness was asked whether he had not maimed at a funeral where there was no body to bury. On moss-examination he admitted that he had helped a friend in the funeral trade who, being anxious to impress his neinhbmrhood--a suburban one—with the ability with which he could conduct funerals, and also to convey the idea that he had received a good order, had • hearse and mourning catches ' with 90 men, leave his shop, and after an abo alca of some hours return as if from the cemetery.--Sutalt Latvian Press. ANCLICANS AND ROSI•N CATROLICI4.—In Sent land of recent days many good people have been shocked and irritated by certain little attempts at priestly impertinence en the part of stray Anglicans towards the church of Scotland ; hut none of these can approach the quiet mutter-of-fact contempt with which the most tole rant Boman catholic treats the church of England. To him, as to a man on a mountain height, it matters little whether the figures beneath him are on a plain of a hun dred or a thousand feet above the level. They are all so far from him that the distinction between tleniselves is nothing in his eyes. Never did Anglican bishop ignore the existence of the Limbic dissenter with more lofty calm than the humblest preacher, the most unknown writer on the other aide, ignores the Anglican hierarchy and all its pretensions. Those overtures of union, thosa stretching' out of hands tow.,rds their ancient mother, which a small body in the church of England have been making, evi dently attract no re,ponse in her bosom. We may be to onr own oonsciousnese a long-descended, well-born national church, with Our apostolical succession and patents of nobi lity unbroken ; but t i her we are but a vulgar modern sect, one " denomination" among the many protestant die beaten upon moat of whom we look down so loftily. The position is quaint, and full of unconscious, unintentional irony upon the modern temper of ecclesiastical England. The church of Engl.nd has separated herself from the churches of the Reformation. She is disposed to consider herself a distinct offspring of the primitive church, more enlightened and purer than the Roman and Eastern branches, but equally apostolical, ready to hold commu nion with her elders, who alone are her equals, and stand ing at an immeasurable distance above all the erclesiasti. ad developments of the Reformation. This position she holds stoutly ; but the unfortunate circumstance is, that her elder sisters stand unconscious, and recognise no difference. To the Roman catholic the whole protestant world stands on the same level. There are no degrees to speak of within its bounds. The Scotch presbyter or the dissenting minister is no worse and no better in his eyes than the Anglican clergyman, be he dean or bishop. It makes no difference. In the present position of affairs, ' the lesson thus taught may be not without advantage. It is one which is echoed by Roman catholic opinion every where whenever it has a chance to express itself. Unless; some wonderful change of mind should come about, of which at present there are no signs, any recognition of the peculiar claims of the church of England by the church of Rome, any step to meet her overtures, any union or communion between them, is simply impossible. It is more than impossible ; judged from the Roman point of view, it is ridiculous, if not wicked.—Blackirood's Mar:isc for December. CRYSTAL PALACE.
