The poetry of this well-known volume has until lately been regarded as the common re mission of the Christian church, notwithstanding the strong impress it bears of a particular theological school. Now, however, a change is introdnoed, which makes it positively assert a doctrine which some of the highest of high chureltiten have rejected as Barnhill. The complaint of the protestant admirers of Noble turns upon a change made in a verse of a poem written for the sth of November. and which in Keble's time was thus printed : 0 come to our Communion Feast, There, present in the heart, ?sot in the hands, th' Eternal Priest Both His true self impart. The editors of the posthumous editions have removed I " not" from the beginning of the third line, and substituted as" From the fourth century, when the greatest of church councils was divided into the partisans of homousion and homoioosion, and a diphthong more or less marked the awful distance between heresy and the catholic faith, down to our own times, it has been often seen in theology that the slightest change of verbal expression may in volve a serious alteration of meaning. In its original form the verse satisfied those who could bear with vary strong assertions of a " real presence" of Christ in the Eucharist, provided it were understood that it was strictly a presence to faith. But the change in the verso - has been understood to destroy this pesefbility, and now Dr. Pao" comes forward to admit, as he could not but do, that this was intended, and also to justify the change, by asserting that it was consonant with the author's belief. "The [original] words, in their strict literal meaning, contradict what had been his belief, so long as I have beard him speak on the subject. So taken, they affirm that our Lord gives himself to the soul of the re ceiver only, and is not present objectively. This was not John Keble's belief." Dr. Pussy's explanation seems to go beyond the necemi ties of the case-- Present in the heart As in the hands. assigns a dignified part to the heart in reception; but an objective presence will still be a presence although there be no receiving heart. As far as a spiritual presence, is concerned, those from whom Dr. Posey represents Keble as differing would affirm that it was objective : it must, therefore, be a material objectivity which he distinguishes, and a belief in which be imputes to Ke ble. Let us see, 1 I however, how Dr. Pusey explains the retention of the original words during Keble's lifetime: He himself (as is explained in the posthumous editions) understood his own words in the same way as when Holy 1 Scripture says, " I will have mercy and not sacrifice (i.e., , not sacrifice without mercy), that the objective presence was of no avail unless our Lord was received within, in the cleansed abode of " the heart." This is plainly not the obvious meaning of the words; but it satisfied him. To myself, many years ago, when I spoke of the way in which his words were taken, he only answered by a disparaging remark on the Christian Year. He looked upon it as the work of younger years, with which be had no more to do. He called it, in his way, " that book." This passage well deserves attention, "He himself understood his own words." Is that the usual language I in which men speak of their own writings? Imagine Lord Derby or Mr. Dickens " understanding " their own words in a manner opposed to their proper and contextual sense. Dr. Pusey represents his deceased friend as dealing with the utterances of his former self much as an Oxford professor might deal with a difficult ancient author, finding him obscure, and at last supplying him with a meaning. Why should Keble have written " not in the hands" if be meant "as in the hands" ? Dr. Piney perceives all the difference, but quotes what he deems an analogous passage from the authorised version of the Bible ; but the notorious fact that " I will have mercy, and not sacrifice," is always treated as a statement need dog to be guarded by explanation, would of itself deter Keble from imitating the construction. It is iabout t we nty years since the "Christi an Year" was published. Is there any evidence that at that time either Keble or his friends believed in an objective presence "in the 1 hands ?" Dr. Pusey quotes a letter written with Keble's sanction, and a protest which he united in drawing up in 16,56, but neither of them warrants the doctrine of the new editions of the " Christian Year." Dr. Pusey proceeds —" It was, however, brought home to him that the line would still be quoted against the doctrine which be believed so long as it remained in the " Christian Year." After considering for three days, he wrote, March 6, 186*;: I have made up my mind that it will be best, when a I reprint is called fur, to adopt —'s emendation and note, I with a few words pointing out that it does but express more directly the true meaning of the present text. Why this three days' hesitation! Why is the cmenda tion called —'s? And why this clinging to the " true i meaning of the present text !" All this is unintelligible if we imagine Keble desirous of depriving the protestant , of the world of the use of his hymns. But it is explained at once if we imagine a kindly old Christian scholar and gen. tleman closely beset with friends of one type of thought, pressing him year after year, and with increasing importu nities, as be grew feebler, to consent to their emendation, and so secure the great influence of his name and character to their propagandist designs.— Daily News.

FURTHER EXPLOSIONS AND WBB OF LIFE. BARNSLEY, THURSDAY. The terrible catastrophe which took place yester day, and which so far as regards the loss of life exceedsany similar occurrence which has taken place in this country, has unfortunately turned out more serious than was anticipated. Duriiiglastnight, after the workings, so far as the cupola , had been examined by a number of the principal °ornery viewers of the district, it was determined that volunteers for bringing up those in the pit should be enlisted. There were plenty present who cheerfully offered their services, so that by morning upwards of sixty bodies were brought to the top, all of which, with one exception, were identified. About 6 o'clock this morning about 37 volunteers went down to relieve some of those who had been working ; but sixteen afterwards came up, and seven more went down. All went on pretty smoothly until about 9 o'clock when the signal was given from the bottom to draw up, and the cages came up several times crowded with the volunteers, who stated that they felt the usual indications of an explo slon—the air being sucked away from them. Just as one body of men had landed, and whilst a number of their companions remained in the pit, an explosion took place with Ont fining any consi derable damage to the top part of the machinery. Thin was followed shortly afterwards by a second, which threw up a vast quantity of dirt, covering several of those who were in the vicinity of the pit bank with dirt, and sending the cage in a smashed condition into the top gearing, where part of it now remains. All persons were now warned off the ground as it was evident that, contrary to expectation, the pit was on fire. Of course the efforts o: all parties were paralysed, as it was plain that nothing could be done to save those who had descended on their errand of mercy, and who' in so doing had been sacrificed. Amongst those who have lost their lives were Mr. Parkin Jeffcock, of Sheffield, a member of a wealthy family long connected with the coal trade of South Yorkshire ; Mr. David Tewitt, of New castle, the steward at the Oaks ; Mr. W. Barker, the under-viewer ; and Mr. C. Siddons and his son, who were the deputies ; Mr. Smith, the manager of the Lund-hill Colliery • and several others not connected with the Oaks Colliery. After this second c a tastrophe, of course whatever slight hope wasprevioualyentertained that any living thing could exist in the mine by the most sanguine rela tive, was dispelled, and the sorrowful faces of men as well as women were truly painful to see. Shortly before the second report Mr. C. Morton, the government inspector, drove down, and on being informed of what had taken place, he, along with the colliery viewers present, had a long con sultation as to the course it was advisable to take under the circumstances. This was conducted at the colliery office, outside of which a large crowd had collected, in the expectation that something might ooze out as to the decision come to. The result, however, was not made known, but it is not unlikely that some such course as that adopted at Lund-hill and Edmonds' Main, on the occasion of the explosions at those collieries, will be pursued, and where, it will be recollected, the workings were deluged with water, as the only means of extin guishing the fire. Up to the present time not more than five or six of those brought out in the first instance are alive, whilst those in the pit will number close upon 200, so that the actual number of lives lost will not fall far short of 360. The number of widows and orphans caused by the catastrophe will be very large indeed, whilst the male members of families have been entirely swept away. One poor R oman has lost no fewer than five sons, and another a husband and three sons. The village of Hoyle Mill is a scene of general mourning, there being scarcely a home which does not show the emblem of death, whilst in several parts of Barnsley there is a similar display. The colliery bank presents quite a forlorn appearance, the cage, or a part of it, being closely jammed in the top gearing, from which flutters a portion of the clothing of one of the unfortunate men. The greatest excitement continues, nearly every colliery in the district being closed, the men appearing in great numbers on the ground and thoroughfares leading to the The Lord Mayor, on taking his seat in the Mansiomhouse justice room, yesterday, announced his he of opening a subscription list at the Mansion-houve in aid of the families of t he :WO persons killed at the Oaks Pit, Barnsley.

LONDON TRADES DELEGATES AND WORkINI =Ns CLUB& The general council of the London trades' unions, in September last, passed a resolution that the Rev. H. holly should be allowed an opportunity of addressing the delegates of all the trades' societies in London, at their queasily meeting, in reference to working men's clubs and institutes. On "A edneulay evening, amordinglkt i lit elm haulm met the delegates at the Bell Inn, Old ' , Mr. Disinter, eteer, in the chair, to the number o about 50, represen some 120,000 working men, and delivered an address, setting forth the advantages of working men's clubs in a pecuniary and educational point of new, Ts marking that they were only asked to do what gentlemen had been doing for the Mat fifty years to their very great benefit, morally and socially. At the close of his I address a delegate rose and complained that Mr. Bony had spoken unjustly of trades' societies. This calledupMr. Allan, secretary of the Amalgamated Ittegimers ; Mr. A meretary of the Amalgamated Carpenters, and ileS seeretsuy of the London Trades' Council, who defen Mr. holly, and after maintaining that no man understood the working classes better than be did, advocated the spirit of working men's clubs and institutes. Mr. Aran then moved a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. holly for his address, which Mr. Applegarth seconded, recommending at the same timethat a resolution should be passedexpress ing the approval of the delegates of these clubs. It was, however, ultimate], agreed, on the motion of Mr. Allan, that a special meeting of trades' delegates should be called to consider the whole question, at which they would wel come the attendance of some of Mr. holly's friends among the council and vice-presidents of the Work. Mg Men's Club and Institute Union. A vote of thanks having been seconded by the delegate who had at last opposed lAs. Bally, and by another delegate, who trusted he would not rt couraged by anything that had passed that evening, was unanimously carried. Mr. Bony expressed his great gratification at the courtesy which lied been sl.o en him, and the ^ttention with which his remarks had been received. He should carry away with him an extremely satisfactory impression of the meeting that night, and was particularly glad that they had determined on having a special meeting to discuss the whole question. Mr. stated that Mr. holly had for more than a quarte? d or Tt century been well known as the friend of the working classes, and there was no man whom they might more thoroughly trust. Mr. holly then retired, and the ordi nary business of the delegates was proceeded with. Mr. Solly met the council of the Swindon Insti tute on Friday week, when an interesting discussion en sued in view of showing how far it could be developed in the club direction. A resolution was peened ultimately cordially appioeirtg Mr. Solly's proposals, and agreeing to recommend the subject to the notioe of the next monthly meeting. It is earnestly hoped and believed that the di rectors of the company will very strongly seoond the wishes of the members of the institute in this direction. On the following Saturday and Monday Mr. Holly attended meet ings in Bristol, at the Working Men's Club and Institute, in College-place, at the request of the committee, with the view of measures being taken to secure a large amount of support for the club. Special invitations on Monday night were sent to the members of the various friendly and trades societies in the town, and several representative men in consequence at tended. Mr. folly delivered an address. after which • general discussion took place, and a determination was come to for increased exertion to enable it to continue its present most useful career. Mr. Sully also visaed the club in St. James's-back in that town, where there is a large building recently erected by Miss Carpenter, chiefly at her own expense, for the wants of that very poor and crowded locality. The club, with its venous means of entertainment and usefulness, is highly &ppm cia.ecl by • large number of youths in the locality, but there are not enough of the skilled artisan class residing in the neighbourhood to constitute an efficient club for adults, and in all probability the greatest amount of benefit would be accomplished by appropriating it spe cially as a youths' institute. Under such an arrangement it would probably be crowded every night from top to Ibottom. A. large number of working men, however, and others, avail themselves of the excellent cheap dinners to be had there in the middle of the day. On the following evening Mr. Sully addressed a public' I meeting at Salisbury—Mr. Bartlett, in the large room of the club, occupied the chair, when a number of repre sentative working men attended ; and at Southampton on Wednesday evening, when the mayor presided, in the Guildhall. On both occasions Mr. holly delivered ad dresses, urging the value of working nieu's clubs and institutes to all classes of society, and especially exhort- Mg the working men to make use of the opportunities now offered them, and which might otherwise entirely pass away. At Southampton, a coal club, numbering MOO members, has been formed in connection with the Social Club and Institute, and is a great help to many a poor mans fireside in the depth of winter. On Mon day evening last, a public meeting was held at Tedding ton, the incumbent, the Rev. D. Trader, in the chair, to promote the establishment in that district of a Working Men'', Club and Institute. The National school. room was well filled, chiefly by working men. Au address given by the Bev. IL Sully was attentively listened to, and his views cordially received. A telegram from Dublin states that on Tuesday night the Indus, of Maitland (United States), from Liver pool to Philadelphia, went ashore on the Long Bank, out side Wexford Harbour. Crew and pi.ssengers saved, and greater portion of cargo. The ship is rapidly sinking into the sand, and there is but little chance of getting her off.

The secretary re ported tbat there were 61 girls at Woodhouse, all of whom were in good health, and conducting themselves well. They were making progrers in their eilut“tiou, and were being trained for domestic service. The reports of the matron and governess were very satisfactory. Two girls were present, and received the usual reward of one guinea each for good conduct in service for one year. It was stated that there were a great many applications from all parts of the country as well as fr m London, hut that only one could be admitted, the funds being very low. The .ecre.ary observed that the committee would be obliged to reduce the number of inmates unless help were readily and liberally afforded. He also said that 5/. or 61. was wanted to purchase some extra things for Christmas to contribute to the enjoyment of the young people. Some interesting observatiotui were made by the gentlemen pre sent, in the course of which it transpired that there was anip'e room in the house to accommodate twenty or thirty more girls if funds could be furnished ; it was hoped that the forthcoming bazaar in May, 1867, would realise a con siderable stun. The meeting, after electihi a sub-matron in the place of one resigned, closed at about o'clock. Jla C.ENAR itawxtris, F.R.S.—The fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons of &liana, and no doubt The medical profession generally, will hear with regret that this distinguished surgeon, at a meeting of the council of the college yesterday, the 13th inst., resigned the chair he has so long and so worthily filled as en examiner. Mr. Hawkins was elected a member of the council in 1546, and so highly was bis talents appreciated that only three years after he was elected a member of the Court of Examiners and Hunterian orator. In 1852 he was unanimously called to the highest collegiate appointment—the press dentakip, to which office Le was elected a second time in 1861. Mr. Hawkins still retains, to the great advantage of the college, his seat as representative of the corpora tion at the general council of education and registration.
