Into lu..N SIAISISE INSURANCE COMPART (LIMITED) • - . r. BRIGHT. Mr, W. 31. .fames, Q.C., and Mr. North moved on be. of the defendants, Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., ,tipowners, of Liverpool, that they might be at liberty to execution on a judgment given by the plaintiffs, the 'X'.l,ion Marine Insurance Company, in an action brought tr the shipowners fur insurance money on a marine Messes. Gibbs, Bright, and Company had i st t e d with the company a policy of 1,200/. on ship Netherby, an emigrant vessel, which on her ,•rage from London to Brisbane struck on a rock and was siecked, off King's Island, in Bass's Straits, on the 14th ..!July, 1866, and totally List. In November, 1866, the ,mpany came to a resolution to wind up voluntarily, and idAtom were appointed. After the owners had made their el em. which the company acknowledged on the 11th ,f January, 1a67, they received a letter from Mr. Walcott, if the fioverninent Emigration Board, stating that the Joan claimed, under the provisions of the Passengers' Acts, PG:. and 1863, a debt of 8291. 13s. 7d. on account Il if calk bel incurred by the governor of Vict oria in renal. and maintaining the wrecked passengers until they sere forwarded to their destination in Queensland, as the ~ m miseioners had been directed by the Secretary of State • take the necessary steps for recovering this debt from :::e owners of the Netherby. Mesas. Gibbs, Bright, and co., nevertheless commenced their action in February,lB67. rLereupon the company and the liquidators filed the bill ,irst Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. and Mr. Walcott, decree directing them to interple ad ; and on the 23rd ,! March, in the vacation, Vice• Chancellor Stuart, at his •, , e, made an (eller that the plaintiff should give judgment ,the action as the court should direct, the defendants ,sdertaking not to issue execution till further order, and t-e defendant Walcott undertaking by his counsel to take further proceedings till further order. The defendants dined tobe entitled to recover their money notwith priding this order. Mr. Kay, Q.C., and Mr. Fischer maintained that the L i fendants ought to interplead. Ur• Ferrer, appeared for Mr. Walcott. ... The Vice-Chancellor said that no doubt a mistake had n made. He could not interfere with Messrs. Gibbs, kight, and Co. recovering their debt. The persons who :1.1 made a claim on behalf of the mown should have town that they had the consent of the crown to apply. 711 e commissioners should have informed the proper officer ,f the crown's claim —namely, the Attorney-General. His Honour felt no doubt that there might be an interpleader 4ainst the crown, but the crown in fact was not present, lad Mr. Walcott, as commissioner ? had no claim. All that sas to be done in the present motion was to give leave to the parties to take proceedings in the usual way ; the de. f,D,Lints to have their oasts, and the other costs tobecosta in the muse. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Peon the Judge Ordinary.) JANES AND ANOTHER V. FOSTER AISD OTHERS. This testamentary case wet resumed this morning,when tvidence was given in support of the revocation.

IDLE FREAK OF A VOLUNTEER.. bunk Huglus, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, ao charged with discharging a rifle at a gas lamp, in Lkoinsbury-square, and extinguishing the light. Police -constable Fisher, 32 E, stated that at about 10 Dilute, pest I .o'clock this morning, he was on duty in Last Suiesellotreet At the corner of Bloomsbury-square la attention was attracted by a sound as of the explosion of percussion capein the square. He went to the spot and as the prisoner and another young man firing at the lights in tyro of the gas l am p s , w hi c h they presently succeeded in oitinguishing. Another constable, Findon, 34 E, approaching from the other side, the two ran away, but IM prisoner not seeing witness actually rushed into his arm& Witness said, " That is nice conduct fora young nisa like you—firing off powder and putting the lamps out." The prisoner replied, " There you are mistaken, it iris only imps." Witness observed twelve exploded caps on the pavement, six at the foot of each lamp -port. At the station-house the prisoner said he did not know that there was any powder in the rifle. He also said that he bad just retu rne d f rom Wimbledon, where he bad won a rue, but he declined to state what company of v o l un t eers belooged to. The prisoner warn very sorry, and hoped the magistrate would look over it. Sir Thomas Henry could not possibly overlook each an act of mischievous folly. If every idle young man passing through the streets at night was to be permitted to amuse himself by eutting out the lamp light we should Noon have the streets in darkness. It must be put a stop to at once for the Protection of the public. He should tine the pri soner the full penalty of 40a. The Prisoner paid the fine. CLERKENWELL.

STEALING A VALUABLE WATCH. William Baker a lad, was charged with stealing a gold watch of the seine of 501. from the person of Mr. Corn wallis Tottenham, a gentleman at present staying at the British Hotel, Jermyn-street. Mr. Tottenham said be was walking in Hanover-square last night towards the Oriental Club, when the prisoner Caine up and asked him the way to Brook-street, and while directing him he made a snatch at his watch, breaking it from the chain, and made off with it. He pursued the prisoner calling " stop thief," and he ran into a constable's arms about 100 yards from where he took the watch. Mr. George Mermen, of 81, Oxford-street, proved see ing the prisoner run from Mr. Tottenham, and said there was no other boy near. Police-constable Moore, 187 C, said that he saw two females pass while the prisoner was running, but he did not see the prisoner pass anything to them. He had leached the garden of the square with the constables, but could not find the watch. _ Mr. d'Eyncourt said it was quite clear the prisoner com mitted the robbery, and the best thing he could do would be to my where the watch was. The prisoner remained silent. Mr. d'Eyncourt supposed the prisoner declined to say. The prisoner said he never had the watch, and, therefore, Gould not say where it was. Committed. WORSIIIP-STBEST. ATIMIPTED ucanorrs. Caroline Hall, 50 yearn of age, dressed in respectable mourning, and described as the wife of Robert Hall, a brass-founder, residing st No. 1, Libra-road, Bow, was charged with an attempted suicide on the 18tb inst. Nutty, 107 K, having deposed to finding the prisoner outside her own house on the night of the date mentioned and bleeding from a wound in the throat, added—l did not then know where she lived, so I took her to the station house, where when the wound was dressed, she said, " I would give the world to be sent to the workhouse, so cruelly does my husband ill-use me." Now I have made inquiries about him, and can learn nothing of this being true. He is a respectable man now in court. Prisoner—No, no ; I don't think I said that. I have been his wife thirty-one years and borne him nineteen children, and could not say that of his conduct. Constable—One of the daughters is also present, sir. Clerk—Well, well, we need not distress her by questions. The husband of the prisoner, however, assured the magistrate that it was the first time she had ever made an attempt on her life ; that he was unable to assign any motive for the act ; but the cause was another matter ; he feared it to be drink. Aught relative to ill-usage was quite out of the question. The constable said he thought her slightly in liquor when he took her. After earnest intercession on the part of her husband, and apparent penitence on her own, he was permitted to take her home with him. The Queen's dinner to the Belgians at Windsor, to which they did ample justice, included, in addition to the standing joints of beef, lamb, and veal, 750 roast fowls, 230 roast ducks, 250 *Wed tongues, 200 pigeon and veal pies, 250 lobster a handsome dessert of black and white grapes, melons, greengsges, strawberries, raspberries, and 2,600 bottles of Champagne, Mosslie, hock, claret, port, and sherry. HEALTH OP LORD FITZRARDINGE.—We axe pleased to learn, by a letter from Colonel Berkeley, that the illness from which his father has been recently suffer ing is not nearly so serious as our previous informa tion led us to believe. It appears that the noble lord, in consequence of a fall, sustained rather a severe bruise on one of his elbows, and a subsequent attack of gout having fixed itself in that particular joint, his lord ship was for some days prevented taking his usual out-door exercise. The gallant colonel assurer us that there was nothing of the nature of paralysis in the attack—an assu rance which, to the many friends of Lord Fitahardinge in Cheltenham, will be a source of satisfaction.—Cheltenham Examiner. THE FAILURE OP THE LEEDS BANKING Coy- PANT.—MR. GREENLAND RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.—It will be remembered that, subsequent to the failure of the Leeds Banking Company in 1864—which failure was alto gether caused by improper advances made by the manager, Mr. Greenland, to people and firms in various parts of the country that gentleman was prosecuted for making false returns of the note issue of the bank. The case against him was opened in Leeds, but in the interests of justice to Mr. Greenland it was considered desirable that his trial should take place in London, in order that no local prejudice might interfere. Mr. Greenland was accordingly brought up in the Central Criminal Court last October, and was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment, the learned judge who heard the case remarking at the time that had it not been for Mr. Greenland's advanced age the punishment inflicted upon him would have been one of a much more serious character. The convict was brought down to Armley Gaol to serve out his term—the prosecution against him having been instituted by the Leeds Cham ber of Commerce, on the general question of commer cial morality—but it soon transpired that strong and arduous efforts were being made to secure a remission of his sentence, persons, in mayoral instances, being asked to sign a memorial with that prayer who had themselves suffered to a considerable extent by the failure of the bank. About three months ago, the medical officer to the Armley Gaol was required to furnish certain answers to a series of question with regard to Mr. Greenland's health, and yes terday morning, • communication was received at that prison from the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, intimating that Mr. Greenland was forthwith to be discharged from custody. Imprisonment causing failing health of the prisoner has been the ground upon which the memorial has been founded, but it has also been urged, in the same document, that Mr. Greenland's journeys to London, in connexion with the trial of Thomas Edgeley, woollen merchant, bad also had a considerable tendency to depress his constitution.—Afaneheiter Examiner. A MAN SHOT BY A VOLUNTEER AT HARTLEPOOL. —On Tuesday night, about 8 o'clock, two members of the 19th Durham (Hartlepool) Rifle Volunteers were prac tising rifle shooting over • space of ground fronting the Hough Battery, on Hartlepool cliff. They had erected a square piece of inch planking, to serve as • target, which was placed at • distance of about 100 yards. Before they commenced firing they looked along the sands and coast to ascertain if there were any boats, or persons, within range of their fire, and seeing that the mast was clear, they began their practice. In the meantime the fish ing boat, manned by Archibald Hunter, an old man, and John Pounder, paved unseen close to the cliffs, and when at a distance of about 400 yards from the battery was brought to in order that the fishermen might cast their lines. They had no sooner arrived at the spot before two or three rifle balls struck the water near to the boat. The fishermen called out as loud as they could for the riflemen to desist firing, but their cries had apparently not been be .rd for some more shots were fired, and one of the balls that had evidently passed through the target, struck Hunter at the side of the month and passed through a portion of his cheek. Three or four more shots were tired and fell within sight of the boat, and Pounder at last called out and another boat pulled towards them. Some of the crew got into the boat and assisted Pounder in pulling the boat ashore, as Hunter was becoming insensi ble from the loss of blood. By the united cries of the fishermen the riflemen were made aware that an accident I had happened, and they ceased firing. On Hunter being conveyed ashore, his wound was dressed by • surgeon. The poor mar is in a very weak state from loss of blood. ARTILLERY ACCIDENT AT DOWEL—During the Bring of the royal salutes from the batteries at Dover at the time of the Sultan's departure on Tuesday • shocking accident occurred at the Drop Redoubt, Western Heights, three artillerymen being blown from one of the guns, while still engaged in ramming home the charge, by the premature explosion of the cartridge. The men are all gunners of the No. 4 Battery, 13th Brigade Royal Artillery, and are named respec tively George F. Tuner, Thomas Lynch, and Edward Donoghue. The last named was fortunately not seriously injured. His left thumb was shattered, but beyond that he was not materially hurt. The injuries sustained by the two other men, however, are very serious. Turzer'a left arm was literally blown away, with • portion of the shoulder, while Lynch's right arm was sadly shattered. All the men were conveyed to the military hospital, where the surgeons ,lid all that was possible under the circum stances. In the case of Tuner there is scarcely any hope of his surviving the mutilation he has undergone, and his friends have been telegraphed for ; but there is some pro bability of Lynch going on favourably. DEATH THROUGH FOLLT.—A shocking event is reported from West Cornwall. On Sunday evening • youth, aged 17, named Joseph Wallis, whose widowed mother resides in the pariah of Paul. Penzance, left the house to attend service at a neighbouring chapel, but, shortly returned and asked for an umbrella. His mother requested him to look for one in a corner behind the par lour door, and he forthwith proceeded to the spot. Near the umbrella was an old gun, which he playfully took up and pointed at his sister, aged 14, who was laughing on the stairs. In an unhappy moment he pulled the trigger, and, to his horror, a charge of shot instantly posed through the girl's head and killed her on the spot. The youth ran to her and called her by name, but found her • corpse, and then fell into his mother's arms and fainted. He had always been greatly attached to his sister. On Monday an inquest was held, and a verdict of " Man slamhter " returned. WHAT THEY WOULD LULL—Writing under the head of " Revision," the CAercA Time! says :—" The truth is, the catholic party are not satiated with the Prayer-book or anything like it ; only they do not care to trouble Comarina But if the matter is to be stirred, then they will put in a claim to have restored to them everything of value that was lost at the Reformation, arid they will never cease the agitation which their indis creet opponents have begun till they have gained what they wish. Amongst these things are the invitateries, the antiphons to the Psalter, at least on the greater hell days, • revised lectionary, fuller and more varied improved occasional prayers and thanksgivings, rure r s ee ft the occurrences and concurrences of holidays, more pre cise rules as to vestments, the ancient introits, the nine fold Xprrie the old graduals, tracts , and sequences, the r estoration of the canon to something like its ancient form, the omission of the second part of the words of ad ministration, the restoration of the Amu, Dei , weekly celebration, and a set of votive masses, to say nothing of a great number of mitten of detail." THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1867. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MADAME MUSUROS. (THIS DAY.) This morning the remains of Madame Musurus, the wife of his Excellency the Ambassador of Turkey, and daughter of the late Prince Vogorides, were interred in a temporary grave, prior to their intended removal to Con stantinople.

M. Popoff being the officiating priest. The procession then moved away slowly towards All Souls' Cemetery, Kemal-green, at the eastern end of which the remains of the deceased lady were laid. Here there was no religious ceremony, and after the body was deposited the mourners returned to Bryonston-square. DREADFUL TRAGEDY AT LIMEHOUSE. A YOUNG WOMAN FOUND WITH HER THROAT CUT. A shocking and, at present, a very mysterious occurrence has taken place at Limehouse, and the circum stances surrounding it are of • very strange character. It appears that at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, a young man, named William Deeny, ran out of • small house, called Temperancecottage, North-street, Limehouse, and called a policeman(Bannister 138%) and told him that • young woman had tried to cut • young man's throat. The police-constable at once entered the house and found John Wiggins, lighterman, bleeding from the neck and he held out his thumb and showed a wound upon it which bled a great deaL He said that • young woman had done it, and upon the policeman asking where she was that he was told upstairs in the front room. Upon enter ing that room, the policeman found it " looking like • slaughter-house," for the floor was deluged with blood. In a corner of the room he found the dead body of a young woman, and from the look of the place there appeared to have been a struggle. The blood was splashed about. On the table he saw a brown-handled table-knife, the blade of which appeared to have been steeped in blood. Dr. Home, of High-street, Stepney, the divisional surgeon, was at once sent for, and he made an examination of a wound which was on the woman. He bee reserved his opinion as to whether the wound was self-inflicted or not, but upon that subject it would not be fair to say more at present. The police et ono e made the most searching inquiries, and they ascertained that the young woman's name was Agnes Floakes, aged 22 years, and that she had for some time past cohabited with John Wiggins. Thedectased and Wiggins have lived in Temperance Cottage, with Wiggins's father and mother. Forabout a week past he and she have quarrelled very much, at least so the neighbours state, and Wiggins mays that there had been • few words between them. The quarrelling at last be ' came so distasteful to both parties that it had been re solved to separate yeeterday, and the deceased was to leave Wiggins's house. It is not at present known whether it was the deceased or Wiggins that objected to the separation. The father and mother of Wiggins were asked if they had heard any noise of screaming or scuf fling, and they replied in the negative. The neighbours also state that they did not hear any noise. Wiggins has made a statement and be says that on Tuesday night he and the deceased went to sleep in the same room. As they had had • few words he would not sleep with her but lay down on a rug in front of the fire place. While he was dozing be saw the deceased get off the bed and walk to wards him, and leaning over him she suddenly seized him by the left hand. He then perceived that she was hold ing a knife across his throat, and before be could do anything she gave him two gashes. He put up his band to save himself, and his thumb was cut. He managed to throw her off him, and he screamed to his father and mother. While he was running out of the room the deceased fell on the floor, and he saw her cut her throat. After she bad inflicted a gash she took the point of the knife and tamed it round in the wound. That was the last he saw of her. When the police-constable found her she was lying with her head under a chair. Dr. Horne ordered Wiggins to be placed in • cab, and taken to the London Hospital. The house surgeon there stated that his wounds were not very serious. The excitement in the neighbourhood is very great, and there are various 111/1:1011111100St about the occurrence. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OP A YOUNG ROMAN IN THE THAMES. An inquiry was held by Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, last night, at the Spotted Dog Tavern, High street, Poplar, respecting the death of a young woman whose name was unknown. Inspector Taylor, Thames Police, said that last Sunday morning he discovered the dead body of the deceased floating down the river off Poplar. She was about 21 years of age, and the only article that she had on her was a pair of side-spring boots. She had been about 40 hours in the water. J. D. Mills, the coroner's officer, said that the deceased was a very robust young woman, but he could not say how she had come by her death. The coroner said that he believed that the deceased had been stripped and thrown into the river from some skip. It would have been impossible for her to have walked in that state unobserved through the streets, and if she had stripped herself on the river bank her sloths§ would have been found. The police inspector said that from her appearance be believed that she was a frequenter of itateliff.highway, and that she was in the habit of going on board river craft. Mills said that she was • person of prepossessing apr aran verdi c : . verdict "that the deceased woman was found dead in the Thames, but how she same by her death there was no evidence to show," was them e•oo,g.g.

Surrey again won the toss, the result of which w as th a t Kent had to " turn out," end Surrey entrusted the custody of the wickets to those usually trusty guardians Humphrey and Jupp, who however,on this occasion proved unequal to the task, for off the second ball of Wrilaher's, who started the bowling, Jupp was caught by Mr. W. S. Norton at point, which elicited a cheer from the Kentish partisans. Stephenson came in, Bennett began bowling from the Pavihon, and his very first ball Humphrey put safely into the hands of Willsher at slid thus this crack pair of Surrey batsmen, " • brace," between them, and the telegraph denoted the unusual trading of 0, 2, O. Griffith joined Stephenson, and the former began by driving Bennett to long-off which was " fielded" for a single. Runs now came apace, both bats- men being in fine hitting form. Griffith in Bennett's fifth over " cracked" Bennett away to square leg for which 5 were run ; in his next over he lifted another right into the Pavilion, which of comae elicited • Surrey cheer, and brought 20 on to the indicator. When five more had been added to the score, Mr. Lipscombe superseded Bennett, and off the last ball of the first over Stephenson was caught off his glove by Wilisher in the slip. Thus the third Surrey wicket went with the score at 25. At 1 o'clock the score stood as follows SITRREY.—First Innings Joy, c Norton, b WiUsher Humphrey, c Wisher, 0 Bennett Stephenson, c Wffisher, b Liptconth Grtteth, not out i -i Total WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

TRIAL BY JURY.—III a .use which came before him under the Legitimacy Declaration Act, on Tuesday, on the petition of a member of the Shedden family, to have the manage of his parents declared, Sir J. Wilde ordered a speciel jury at once. The judge further said he should, in every contested case, order a jury where either party desired it. This mode of trial was the best for such cases, and, above all, it was a matter of right in so important a question ss legitimacy. ASCENT OF MR. COLWELL AT COLNLY HATCH.— A gala in the ground attached to the Railway Hotel in this neighbourhood took place on Tuesday last, when Mr. Cox well ascended in his new and magnificent balloon of IR,OOO I cubic feet contents. The wind was so high that it was blown about fearfully during the inflation, but its make and form enabled it to resist the gusts, so that et 7 o'clock Mr. Corwell and his assistant ascended, and got safely to terra firma in Sir Henry Mextx's park just before a drenching storm came on. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. —On Tuesday the subjoined badness wee transacted in the parliamentary committees upon railway and other private bills. In the Painted Chamber their lordships passed the Midland and Eastern, Norwich and Spalding, Ac., Railways Bill, which was ordered to be reported with amendments. In the same committee the bills of the Newry and Armagh Railway and the West Cork Railway were further proceeded with, and again adjourned. In Room I) their lordships proceeded with and further ad journed the Great North of Scotland Railway and the North British Railway (Carlisle deviations) Bills. In the House of Commons committees, in Mr. Dodson's cow -1 mittee, the Hayling Railways, the Rathkeale and New ' castle Junction Railway, and the Barker's Mills Hetet. Bills were pared through, and ordered to be reported. The Cheshire Lines Bill was proceeded with. and a farther ad journment was ordered. The Metropolitan Giudialit, and the Imperial Gaslight and Coke Company's Bills were thrown out. Yesterday the only business transacted in the parliamentary committees upon railway and other bills was in the House of Lords. In the Painted Chamber their lordships ordered that the Newry and Armagh Railway Bill was not to be proceeded with. The consideration of the West Cork Railway was proceeded with, and a further adjournment ordered until this day (Thursday). In Room 1) the Great North of Scotland Railway Bill passed through with amendments, and was ordered to be reported. In the same committee their lordships proceeded with the North British Railway (Carlisle deviations) Bill, which was further adjourned until this day (Thursday). In the committees of the House of Commons no business was done. The enormous commerce of the Lakes is forcibly illustrated by the fact that not less than fifty millions of bushels of grain were loaded it Buffalo alone last year. A sailing vessel or propeller now often comes into Buffalo with twenty-five thousand bushels of corn or other grain, dumps it into one of the storehouses through the agency of the elevators, and before night is on the way back, and sometimes with a cargo for the point of deperture.—New York Herald. MONEY INARKET.-(11118 DAY.) REDUCTION IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. Oil o'CLuot. The Bank directors, after a abort sitting, have lowered the rate of discount from 2} per cent., at which it was fixed on the 30th May, to 2 per cent., and thus have placed themselves upon something like terms of equality with their competitors in the open market. As their bullion and reserve continued to enlarge week after week after the appointment of the 24 per cent. minimum, while the business in discount and advances fell off, in the presence of the abundance of money in the hands of the public, surprise has been generally expressed at the movement not having been made before. Meanwhile it appears to have had the effect of checking the downward impulse upon the Stock Exchange, which was the result of political apprehensions that have not received the slightest confirmation from any quarter. Business, however, is still quiet in all departments. Since the reduction the discount market has become slightly unsettled, and, as far as demand is concerned, little effect has been produced ; if any thing it is rather better, and the terms for the best bills are quoted at 11 per cent., being I below the new minimum. The terms allowed fur deposits are reduced per cent., having been fixed at 1 per cent. for money at call, and at at seven and fourteen days. Consols opened flat, at a point below the final quotations of yesterday ; but they have since rallied, and are now quoted 94} to for money, and 941 for account steady, with a alight in clination to firmness. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 93g to Exchequer Bills are firmer. India stock continues firm at yesterday's quota tions. Railways were dull and drooping at the opening, being adversely affected by some of the traffics having proved less favourable than had been ex pected. They are now rather higher, but the tone is languid. London and North Western stock are quoted 111 to ; Great Western, 404 to 414 ; Midland, 1134 to 114 ; Lancashire and York shire, 1274 to 128 ; Great Northern, 111 to 112 ; ditto A, not to iti ; Great Eastern, 264 to ; South Eastern, to ; Caledonian, 107 to 108 ; Manchester and Sheffield, 43 to 44 ; York and North Midland, 904 to 914 ; Berwick, 994 to 1004 ; North British, 274 to 28 ; London and South Western, 75 to 77 ; Metropolitan, 1194 to 4 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 164 to I ; and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 50 1 to 4. The foreign stock market is steady. Turkish Six per Cents. of 1862 are 4 higher at 564 to 574, and those of 1865 have improved 4, the present quota tion being 304 to 4. Greek, 14 to 4.

BOATMEN."—Something of the Fame sort is pretty sure to follow our new political reformation. An electric condition of the air quickens into a very troublesome activity all the lower forms of animal life ; and speculators, and nostrum mongers, and men of one idea, are always excited by a thundery state of the political and social atmosphere. Societies for the revision of the prayer-book, and anti-state-church societies, and liberation societies, and the like, feel that their time is come, and begin buzzing about amidst the larger and more highly animated organisations which they so pertinaciously infest, and stinging or irritating all whom they can reach. Any one who has noted the degree to which the scarcely visible insects which haunt the gem-like islands of the Lake of Killarney Gan at such time madden the old boatmen, whose tawny skins look utterly midge-proof, can in some degree understand the annoyance which these congeneric swarms are ready to inflict, in such paroxysms of their vitality, on the defenders of our great institutiona—tisarterty Rosen, new number.
