CALCUTTA, Mesca 5. Mr. Massey made his financial statement in the Legislative Council to-day. The accounts for the year ending April last show a surplus of nearly 3,000,0001. This year there is an estimated deficit of over 2,000,0001., including the extraordinary expenditure for public works. The budget for the coming year shows a probable deficiency of 500,0001., exclusive of any extraordinary expendi ture. Mr. Massey proposes an irrigation loan of 2,000,0001., and 1,000,000/. for barracks. The duty on saltpetre and machinery is abolished. The export duty on grain, and the import duty on champagne and expensive wines, is raised 50 per cent. There will be a new license tax, and a tax of 2 per cent. is to be levied on incomes, including those of public servants, with certain exceptions. It is expected that these new taxes will yield 500,0001. FRANCE. PARIS, MAscm 9. A telegram has been received from Admiral La roncier, dated Vera Cruz the 28th of February, announcing that 16,000 French troops had em barked and left for France, all in good health. The admiral hoped the evacuation of Mexico would be complete by the Bth March. THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. BERLIN, MARCH 9, ERRING. To-day in the North German parliament the de bate on the draft of the constitution com menced. The tribunes were crowded, and the Crown Prince of Prussia was present in the royal box. The members who entered their names to deliver speeches upon the bill were 45 in number, 29 of whom were favourable and 16 opposed to the draft. Among the speakers to-day was Herr Twesten, who stated that he could only support the draft if materially modified. Ho demanded that the parliament should have the right of exa mining the budget, and that North Germany should be raised into a constitutional federal State. He could not accept a normal budget, and would at most be willing, in view of the complicated state of Europe, to grant a round sum until the reform of the Federal army should have been effected. Herr Waldeck made a speech in which he demanded the estab lishment of a unified, responsible central power, and the increase of the powers of the parliament. Herr Miguel, a Hanoverian deputy, announces himself to be in favour of the draft of the con stitution, and declared that in order to secure the establishment of a Federal State, he was prepared to sacrifice everything, even liberty. Herr Rohder, a member of the catholic party, objected that the draft showed too little regard for Austria. "In Austria," he added, " there exists also a German element which should be protected in order that it may not become subject to the Czechs or the Mag yars." Herr Wagener, a conservative, urged the adoption of the draft as it stood, or with as little alteration as possible, declaring that thus material advantages would be secured of greater value than mere debates upon fundamental prin ciples or the rights of man. HUNGARY. I'ESTH, Mem( 10. The ministry will enter upon the full exercise of the duties of their departments to-morrrow. The Buda-Pesti-Koez/irsy, the official organ of the ministry, will be published for the first time on Tuesday. The Imperial arms have been removed from the public buildings.

To-day the Senate rejected, by 47 to 9 votes, the most important paragraph (paragraph 5) of the government bill for the prevention of fraud at elections. THE EASTERN QUESTION. PARIS, MAWR 9. The France of this evening confirm. the accu racy of a recent telegram from St. Petersburg, which announced that an understanding had been arrived at between England, France, and Russia on the Eastern question, adding that that question ceases to wear a grave aspect from the moment that those Powers are agreed as to its solution. It is said that the government intends to abolish in the new law on the press all punishment by im prisonment for press offences. SPAIN. MADRID, Mann( 9, EvErma. A royal order has been issued to-day raising the state of siege throughout Spain. A decree has been issued relative to the press laws. Among other new regulations it fixes the caution money for political journals at 40,000 reals. It maintains the censorship, and authorises the seizure of journals before they are put in circulation. The responsi bility for articles published in the newspapers will rest with the author or the editor, and the printer will in all cases of prosecution be treated as an accomplice. Every print published without autho risation will be regarded as a clandestine publi cation. ADMIRALTY, MARCH 9. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants G. J. 0.

The national gift of 400,000 fr. to M. de Lamar tine by no means meets with unanimous approba tion. Indeed, were it not for the hesitation to bear hardly upon an old man of genius with many amiable qualities, who, notwithstanding the enor mous teats of money inherited and acquired by the successful pursuit of literature which have passed through his hands, has never been able to keep his private affairs straight, the largesse at the nation's expense would meet with almost universal repro- bation. The exposl des motifs of the bill cites as precedents the names of envier, Jourdan, Darnremont, Jussion, Daumenil, Champollion, Combes, Vicat, Duperrd,Eugene Burnouf, Bosquet, and Philippe de Girard. But the cases invoked were very different. In some the illustrious per sonages mentioned received very inadequate in demnities for discoveries made over without re serve to the public, and by which they might, had they kept them to themselves, have realised large fortunes. In other instances small pensions were granted to the mother, widow, children, or grand- I children of the persons thought worthy of national pecuniary reward. But it is very generally felt that M. do Lamartine has no greater claim upon the nation than the other members of the pro visional government, who have ever since lived well by honest industry, or poorly in honourable poverty, without ever obtruding their private affairs upon public notice. M. de Lamartine has had two or three lotteries, thanks to a privilege conceded to him by government, to raise money in I that very objectionable way. His friends have fox years been canvassed to subscribe and pay in advance for books yet to be written which they did not want. All the funds raised in this undignified way have failed to fill up the ever deepening gulf of his debts, and it is most unlikely I that the (nearly) half million of francs which the Emperor now wishes to have the credit of giving, and which the State must pay, will even keep the recipient out of difficulties for the rest of his life. A statement repeated by several journals that the Luxor Obelisk was about to be removed to the Place Trocadero, is positively denied in a eommu niqui from the Prefect of the Seine. The Lenten sermons in the Tuileries chapel will be preached this year by Abbe Bauer, and the sub ject of the series is said to be, " The object of human life "—certainly an interesting theme. The Marquis de Hallay-Coetquen died last night, a few hours after a sudden attack of apoplexy. He was the most famous referee in France on affairs of honour. In France he might be said to constitute a court of honour in his own person ; for such was the weight of his opinion in the highest society that his judgments were generally accepted as binding decrees, and he prevented a very many duels. Verdi's Don Carlos, the production of which at the Grand Opera has long been eagerly looked for, is in the billikfor to-morrow night. Mesdames Sass and Gueymard and M.M. Obin, Faure, Morbre, and David are cast for the principal parts. PARIS, SATURDAY SWUNG. The Correctional Tribunal, Mr. President Deles vaux presiding, yesterday tried M. Paul de Cas sagnac and his seconds, for fighting a duel with M. de Rochefort, a brother journalist, and wounding him. After some very complimentary sp eec hes from the bench, and from Advocate-General Lepel lotier, to the hope of the house of Cassagnac (whose father is editor of the Pays, and a staunch govern ment deputy), ho was found guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 4/., while the seconds were con demned in something loss. Under these circumstances, it was hardly worth while to insert in the papers a paragraph stating that Minister Duruy, whose son has also been fighting a duel, " would not" save him from the strong arm of the law. The question has been very emphatically asked whether, under the Impe rial constitution, a Minister " can" exempt his son from the law's operation 1 purity junior may clearly be given up to justice by his Brutus father without having much to fear. The next case called on was of a far different com plexion. It was a prosecution for a religious libel against two young men, MM. Eudes and Regnard, who have no friends in high places , and are editors of a journal called the Libre Pool. They wrote against Louis Veuillot, and presumed to say—cer tainly no strange opinion in these days—that the Pope's throne was rotten, and that from it arose fetid emanations which created around it desolation and solitude. They also said that catholicism reigned only by favour of the darkness of its own creation, and that it must shortly disappear before the dawn of a new civilization. For the utterance of these heinous opinions, which Mr. President Doles vaux characterised as an impious compilation of the now forgotten and despised doctrines of the philosophers, great and small, of the last century, the defendants were sentenced to three months' imprisonment ! M. de Girardin has over and over again expressed similar sentiments in his journal without being prosecuted; but then be consorts with the highest in the land, lives in a palace, and gives grand banquets to princes and ambassadors. The judges who as a matter of form sentenced him to a tine and not imprisonment,would be only too proud to receive a nod from him in a private salon. On the evening after his condemnation M. de Girardin being at the Th6atre Francais was approached by two judges of the superior courts, who offered to shake hands. He said, " Oh, no, you must not speak to me ' • I am a brebis galsnse." The First Chamber of the Imperial Court, pre sided over by M. Dovienne, gave its decision yes terday in the affair of the heirs of the Duke de Gramont-Caderousse v. Dr. D6clat. The court confirmed the judgment of the Tribunal of First Instance • consequently the will for the advantage of Dr. Dialat remains annulled. The Judge-Ad vocate, M. Oscar de Vall6e, while recommerding the judgment above-mentioned, on the ground that Dr. INclat had certainly attended the duke professionally in his last illness, and that the law peremptorily annulled a legacy left to a medical man under those circumstances, said there was nothing in the case derogatory to the chsracterof Dr. D6clat ; that he had not in any way used undue influence, and that it was the deliberate wish of the Duke de Gramont-Caderousse to leave the bulk of his fortune to Dr. Wel:it, not as his physician, but as his dearest and best friend. M. Oscar de Vallee would take upon himself to offer a suggestion which he had no authority to make, and which, of course, might not be acted upon—namely, that it would be just proper and graceful that the rich and noble family who inherited the Duke de Gramont-Caderousse's wealth, should appease the manes of the testator by settling some such sum as 100,000 f. upon the young daughter of Dr. D6clat. " Are we dreaming ?" is the heading of an article in M. deGirardin's paper this evening,which says : We shall wait till the bills on primary instruction and the abolition of imprisonment for debt have been voted, before we examine thoroughly the bill presented with the object of subjecting the entire French nation to military discipline, and under one pretext or another forcing all Frenchmen, twenty years of age, to serve in the army. Meanwhile we earnestly recommend our readers to read and re-read the bill on army organisation, presented to the Corps Leglalatif. We say read and re-read, because after having re-read the bill ourselves, we ask if we are dreaming We doubt whether we are living in 1867—in the age of railways, electric telegraphs, and free trade. We are not yet quite sure that we are awake! There is a well-accredited rumour that the Grand Duke of Baden has made up his mind to break up the South German Confederation, recommended by France after the battle of &Wows, but in the vitality of which nobody believes, by resigning his amen in favour of Prussia. It is understood that the Bureaux of the Corps Legislatif, of course acting under orders given by government, in pursuance of a promise, have con sented to M. Thiers' interpellations on foreign affairs. The debate is expected to begin on Thurs day next. Italy and Germany will suffice for the debate ; Mexico is to conic on another time. The statement in some of yesterday's evening papers that Lemaire, before his execution. confessed and received the sacrament, was not correct. He listened with politeness to what the prison chaplain said to him ; but told him with great coolness that whilehe,a man about to leave this world, thanked a brother man who came to offer him consolation, he could only give him a fraternal embrace, and must refuse to accept his professional offices. As many as 10,000 people assembled to witness the execu tion at the early hour of 0 o'clock, although the morning was one of the coldest of this second bitter winter. The Bourse was generally firm. The great fea ture was a rise of 25c. in Italian, which, since M. Riassoli's dissolution of parliament, had been de pressed. Rente rose 15c. for cash and Tic. for account, closing at 70f. 10c. and 70f. sc. Mo bilier rose Of. 75c., and Credit Foncier sf. ROME. (raw( ous spacial. CORILZSPONDINT.) ROME, Mises 5. Under the heading of " Bugie a Bugiarde " (lies aad fabrications), the Osservatore Romano, which is on the whole a favourable specimen of clerical and reactionary journalism, has been publishing, at intervals throughout the winter, extracts from the Roman correspondence of the Italianissimi, or moat advanced revolutionary newspapers, which are so widely circulated throughout the kingdom of Italy. Now, from my own experience of the prin ciples, or rather absence of principles, on which such journals as the *cob) and Sole of Milan—the two most frequently quoted by the Ossereatore Ronutno—are conducted, I am perfectly aware that they do not for a moment aim at publishing the truth. At the same time I should be loth to apply so hard a term as a " lie " to any statement put fdfth, either in writing or by word of mouth, by the average Italian. For the inhabitants of this sunny peninsula, just as they love to wear colours, as bright as those in which Nature dresses the landscape about them, love also to put a good deal of colour into their talk and writing. The result is an exceedingly picturesque, but generally baseless, manner of die. thin and expression. Now, as the 50,000 readers of the Seoul°, for instance, do not ask for the truth, but only require something spicy for the half penny at which that journal is sold, it would surely be most unreasonable of its Roman corre spondent (who, after all, is most likely an abstrac tion) to supply an article for which there is no demand. If it is safe to walk abroad outside the gates of the Eternal City—if you can go more than a dozen steps after dark without meeting armed patrols—if the " foreign hireling," or, as he is variously styled, the " hated Zouave," is not per petually to be seen trampling Roman liberties under foot, or insulting Roman and foreign ladies— if the monasteries and convents are not filled with brigands in disguise—why, more is the pity. For the purpose of the Roman correspondents of the Italian journals these things ought to be, and therefore they are. What amount of foundation there may be for the alarming statements contained in a letter from Rome which appeared in a recent number of the Pall Mall Gaulle, I will not presume to give an opinion ; but I may add, that from that letter most of the English sojourners here received their first positive intimation of the desperate risk they are running in remaining a day longer in this city, which it appears is so soon to be devoted to anarchy. For all most of us know to the contrary, a revolution may of course break out at any mo ment ; but so we have been taught to believe that it might any time during the last three months. One has been told over and over again that only the slen derest occasion was needed to render an outbreak certain ; but bombs have exploded in public places, a Zouave has been assassinated, and at least one other stabbed, and still the Roman people has shown no sign of rising. And now that even Gari baldi has given it as his deliberate opinion that "vie pacificho a legati " (to quote words used by him at Bologna the other day) are to be preferred to any other as the means of bringing about the freedom of Rome, surely an immediate revolution is highly improbable. That the Roman National Committee has been, and continues to be, strongly adverse to any premature rising, is quite certain. But, then, the National Committee only represents the more moderate section of Roman liberals, and is distrusted by those more advanced because of its admitted intimate alliance with, and obedience to the orders of, the Italian government. The more advanced liberals again are split up into two sections—the Mazzinians and independent liberals—who are in favour of a constitutional monarchy, and have only this much in common with the Mazzinians, that they are both in favour of immediate action. Of Mazzinians in Rome the number is said to be very small, and I was astonished to hear an independent and one of the most respected liberals here—a man of very advanced opinions—declare the other day, that he did not consider that you could find an honest man among the followers of Mazzini. As for the independent liberals, 1 do not believe them to be sufficiently organized or numerous to overbalance the influence of the National Committee, which is doing its utmost to keep things quiet for the present.

The lessees of the New Surrey Theatre still keep consistently to their plan of producing dramas with great scenic embellishment, and on Saturday night • new four act play, by Mr. Leslie, was placed upon the stage, with scenery by the two best painters in London, Mr. Telbin and Mr. W. Callcott. Mr. Leslie, who's favourably known on the Surrey side of the river by hia successful drama of the Orange Girl, has called his new venture Tide a fad Time, a Tale of the Thames, and he has evidently planned it to introduce as many effective and contrasted pictures as possible. In running after these stage effects he has sometimes violated the laws of probability and dramatic construction, but he has fitted the chief actors of the theatre with characters, filled the large stage with pano ramic scenes of familiar places, and what more can a not over-critical audience require The principal scenes are Waterloo-bridge, with a view of the Middlesex side of the river through the arches—a well painted scene, by Mr. A. Calloott ; the London Docks, with an emigrant ship just starting—one of those scenes of construction and painting for which Mr. William Callcott is famous ; and a view of the Thames Embankment, the Westminster Clock Tower, and the Houses of Parliament, by Mr. W. Telbin. All these scenes are admirably put upon the new. The cast of characters includes Mr. Creswick, Mr. Shep. herd, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Holston, and o►hers—the low comedy being the weakest part. The acting of Miss Georgians Paunoefort as Mildred Barjohn is worthy of more praise at the Surrey Theatre than it would be at a house where the actors and actresses are compelled by their audiences and constant critical supervision to keep within certain limits that are held to be theatrically naturaL No matter what absurdities are going on around her she never I loses the hold of her character, and acts throughout with I great power and artistic feeling. The piece is very long, and might be curtailed with advantage. Both the princi. pal scene painters, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Creswiek, Miss Pauncefort, and the author, were called before the curtain. OLYMPIC. Those who think that modern dramatic authors are the only creatures of the literary tribe who feed upon each other—the English more particularly growing fat upon the French—would do well to study the history of a comedy called The Liar, which was revived at the Olympic on Saturday night, with Mr. Charles Mathews in the principal character. This comedy was originally written by Lopes de Vega ; Veg►'s comedy was adapted for the French stage more than two centuries ago by Corneille, under the title of 14 Menteur. Le Menkur in its turn, about half a century later, was adapted for the English stage by Steele. Steele's comedy was stolen and readapted by Foote, and Foote's comedy The Lyar, as it was called when it was tint produced at Covent Garden Theatre, Jan. 12, 062, with Foote in the character of Young Wilding, has been again adapted for the Olympic stage, we believe, by Mr. Charles Mathews. The version produced on Saturday night is in two acts, and Mr. Charles Mathews plays the part of Young Wilding. Foote, according to many account., was re. markable for the " pointed rapidity " of his acting, and this is a quality in which Mr. Charles Mathews has no living equal. The Liar furnishes Mr. Charles Mathews with another rattling, impudent part, much like the heroes of Cool as a Cucumber, and several other old Lyceum pieces. The cast includes Mr. Horace Wigan, Mr. Addison, Mr. Montague, Miss Stephens, and Mrs. Charles Mathews. The Liar is very rarely played, but Wilding was a favourite character of Elliston's. PRINCE OF WALES'S. Mr. Byron's successful comedy, One Hundred Thousand Pounds, and his equally successful Strand burlesque, The Maid and the Magpie, were revived at this house on Saturday night. Miss Wilton, who has not per formed in burlesque for ionic time, sustained her original character of Pippo in the second piece. Mr. John Clarke returns to his old part of Isaac, one of his molt effective impersonations. THE FENIAN INSURRECTION. The Dublin correspondent of a Sunday contemporary telegraphs yesterday that the military and polioe have been again kept all night at their quarters in a state of preparedness for any emergency that might arise owing to some apprehension that a Fenian gathering was con templated near Rathfarnham, but their services happily had not been required. Lord litrathnairn reports that he does not require any more troops to be sent over from England. Telegrams from Tipperary bring intelligence that the troops were sent last night to the Devil's-bit Mountain, fifteen miles north of that Sown, against a large body of insurgents reported to have been seen in the district. Their number is stated at three thousand. No collision has yet occurred. Three pointsinen on the Great Southern and Western line of railway, supposed to be leagued with the Fenians, were arrested yesterday. The telegraph wires on the Wicklow Railway, for the third time, were cut in several places last night. Owing to the timely appearance of the military, the attack on the Ballinoollig Powder Mills seems to have been abandoned. The report is confirmed that the Carabi neers shot five Fenian' nest Palls*. Masses of insurgents continue on the hill-side near the Limerick Junction station. About two hundred Pentium marched yesterday through I Kilmacthomas, county Waterford. They took and paid for provizions, preserving a dogged silence as to their im mediate route. Hail, sleet, and snow, with a fierce east wind, prevailed throughout nearly all the disturbed dis tricts. A flying column of infantry, engineers, and mili tary train has been sent to Limerick Junction from the Curragh. Judge O'Brien, in opening the commission for Cork city on Friday, referred to the Fenian rising. He said it was difficult to conjecture with what hopes or ob jects the rebels had taken a course which could only end in destruction to themselves and their families. The full weight of punishment would be speedily brought down upon the offenders. In opening the commisson at Clonmel on the same day Mr. Justice George also referred to the outbreak, and expressed regret that similar congra ' tulations to that which the condition of the country bad I enabled the judges of assize to offer to the grand juries of other counties through which they had passed could not be tendered in that district. He further alluded to the composition of the rebel forces —none, he said, , but shop boys and the lower class of labourers' having joined the movement, the agricultural coin- munity, on the other hand, having given it no I countenance, nor taken any part in it. A meet ing of the Corporation of Dublin was held on Fri day, when the Lord Mayor, who was in the chair, brought under the notice of the house the present state of the country. His lordship considered that the council should not separate until they had given some expression of loyalty • and attachment to the crown, and regret at the insane at tempts on the part of many of their misguided countrymen to create an insurrection. Some discussion arose as to the i right of members to move a resolution, which was finally conceited to Alderman itl`Swiney, whose resolution was seconded by Alderman Plunkett. An amendment was moved by Mr. Vereker, seconded by Mr. Barrington, on the ground that the allusion in the original resolution to grievances in Ireland was irrelevant, and should not be approved by the house. A lengthened discussion took , place on the question, and ultimately a resolution which was moved by Sir John Gray was adopted by the meeting. ALHAMBRA PALACE. Mr. F. Strange, the managing director of the Alhambra Company (Limited), will take his annual benefit at the Alhambra Palace on Wednesday next. The large orchestra of the establish ment will on this occasion be increased to 150 performers, the chorus to about SO singers, and the musical part of the prognunme will be nearly doubled. The tonal millets will be given, and the performances (by permission) will be extended to a later hour.

The following address, signed by 65 clergymen of the diocese, has been forwanled to the Bishop of Sas- - '`To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salisbury. " We, the undersigned clergy of your lordship's diocese, desire to express to yo ur l or d s hi p th e d eep anxiety and alarm with which we contemplate the rapid of ritualistic practices in our church, tending and torgkin tended, as we are persuaded they are, to introduce certain errors of the church of Rome which were renounced at the reformation, and which are plainly and strongly con demned by our church in her articles and elsewhere. " In particular, we believe it is designed by these prac tices to teach the doctrine of the real bodily presence of our Lord in the Bread and Wine of the Lord's Supper contrary to the declaration of the 28th Article, which says, ' The Body of Christ is taken and eaten in the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner, and the mean whereb7 the body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is Faith.' bernsiit7e7lwith this is the grievous error—no less de cidedly condemned by our church—of offering adoration to our Lord as corporally present in the consecrated ele ments, concerning which our church declare, that No ' adoration is intended, or ought to be done, either unto the sacramental bread or wine there bodily received, -or unto any corporal presence of Christ's natural flesh and blood, for the sacramental bread and wine remain still in their very natural substances, and therefore may not be adored (for that were idolatry to be abhorred of all faithful Christians), and the natural body and blood of our Savir Christ are In heaven and net here, it being against On truth of Christ's natural body to be at one time in more places than one.' (See Declaration at the end of the Com munion Service.) "In this ritualistic movement we also view with alarm the endeavour to change the character of the Christian ministry into that of a sacrificing priesthood. We believe that by ordination we become 'the ministers of Christ, and stewarda of the mysteries of God,' but not sacrificing priests. "My Lord, —We remembering the solemn charge of God's word, that we should 'earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints,' and the promise which we made at our ordination, ' with all faithful dili (mos to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines, contrary to God's word,' do most solemnly pro test against every attempt to Romauise the simple and scriptural liturgy of our church. We are sure that it is not the part of upright men who have subscribed to her Articles to make any such attempt, either openly or covertly. We believe it to be the bounden duty, before God and man, of every clergyman who hefts doctrines condemned by our church, to cease to minister in a church in which he cannot minister with fidelity to her principles. We believe that the common sense of Englishmen, and of all men, would be with us in this view of their daty. " We implore your lordship to use your authority and in fluence to resist the ritualistic movement, and we earnestly pray that our God will be with you in the discharge of your onerous and responsible duties, and that he will give you wisdom and courage to maintain the true doctrine and pure i worship of our reformed church against all attempts to corrupt them.—With much respect, your lordship's faith ful and humble servants." (Here follow the signatures.) To this address the bishop has returned the following 11211Wer : " Palace, Salisbury, Feb. V.. " Dear Mr. Prebendary,—ln the address which has reached me to-day from yourself and 64 clergymen of my dio wee, you protest every attempt to Romanis* the simple and scriptur al of our church,' and you add, ' we believe it to be the bounden duty, before God and man, of every clergyman who holds doctrines condemned by our church to cease to minister in a church in which he cansot miniiter with fidelity to her principles.' These words express my own convictions as well as yours. My object has ever been to teach the doctrine, negative and positive, which is embodied in the formularies of our church, taking all those formularies in their literal, natural, and historical sense ; and I feel sure that my clergy, as 'a body, have no other aim. My answers to other addresses, bearing the signatures of fourteen of those who have signed the pre sent one, and which having been published, you have all therefore probably seen, will account for my not entering to-day into the details of the communication I am now acknowledging. I will only add that if the reassertion by convocation of the principle of deference to those in authority over them is to influence all the clergy of the church of England, they must learn well themselves, as well as teach their flocks, the special lesson taught them by their church on next Sunday, via, Quinquagesima Sunday. When you publish your address, I should wish that this answer to it should appear at the same time. — I remain, your faithful brother, " W. K. SAHL:M. " To the Rev. Prebendary Hastings." —Salisbury Journal. THE LATE "ARTZMUS WARD."—The remains of Mr. Charles F. Browne, better known as " Artemus Ward," were buried on Saturday in Kensal.green Cemetery.

By his will the deceased gentleman leaves the bulk of his property to his mother, whose age is sixty-two. A noble library, formed by his uncle, Calvin Bnwne, is bequeathed to the Lest boy in the school of his native village, Waterfonl, Oxford t.bunty, State of Maine. He provides that his page, an intelligent lad, shall be put to a printer's--the first in America—for two years, "to learn the value of ing," and to find out what he has missed ; awl that after. wants he shall receive a collegiate education. The poo -1 porty bequeathed to Mr. Brown's mother is on her death •to revert in trust to Mr. Horace Greeley, of Ncw York, to be applied for the foundation of an asylum fir aged and decayed printers, of whose craft he was. He bas appointed as his executors Mr. T. W. Holed son and Mr. E. P. Hingston ; the latter accompanied Lim in his travels, and has been for some time his secretary.
