P f 1 ri 1 HI ~f THE WOHcEsTER VISITATION. The Annual Visitation of the Rev. F. Ow stow, the Archdeacon of this Diocese, took place at St. Helen's Church, in this city, on Tuesday last. In his charge, the Archdeacon observed that when danger threatened the church, it became its Ministers to 'peek A ith faithfulness and sincerity. In this spirit, he ventured to remind them of the Apostle's injunction to Timothy, Watch thou in all things." Watchfulness is neces sary to be maintained by Ministers at all times, bat never was et more necessary than now. The danger to which our church was exposed, in, no common tins;.. bears a strong resemblance to the danger which now threatens her. He referred to that period when Puri tanism obtained a temporary triumph over the Church of England. The same spirit was then manifested, the same , ts to excite the people were employed ; the same invec tives against the clergy ; the same attempts to seize on the ley( flues of the church, under pretext of relieving the peo ple from burdens ; and the same endeavour to alter her services. This attack does not merely arise from avowed enemies, nor from the ignorant, but from many who serve her altars. Such persons are sincere in their at tachment to the church, :vet strange as it appears, they en gage in measures, however good their intention, which might lead to evils more fearful than those they would remove. This vigorous opposition has appeared in all ages of the church. Scarcely had it taken root, when it was assailed by a variety of errors. This was permitted for a season; at the sera of the reformation, the darkness was dispelled, and the light shone forth in its splendour. Then the church was established on a solid foundation ; yet she had to contend for civil privileges. It was not till the glori ous revolution that our deliverance was completed ; from that time the Church of England has partaken of the security of the state. Not actuated by lust of power, by love of no velty, or the principle of political expediency, the great principle which actuated her, was to establish a pure and tolerant religion, and that connexion of church and state, which he hoped would never be dissolved. The church, con sidered as part of the state, was exposed to peculiar dangers, from false friends, and avowed foes, who wished to destroy all ecclesiastical establishments. She has hitherto stood by the purity of her doctrines and the mildness of her principles. Bat we are not to be lulled into security by the triumphs the Church has obtained ; conflict is not at an end, as long as infidel publications abound, and it is attempted to deprive her of her property, or to alter her services and Liturgy. The infidels of these days are of the lowest grade in society, but they have thus the means of spreading their sentiments with the greater facility. It is a melancholy fact, that in the metropolis con tributions are raised, under the infidel leaders, to disseminate their ruinous sentiments. The society for promoting chris tian knowledge has devoted a large sum to meet this evil,by disseminating works of an opposite tendency. The same vigilance should be manifested to maintain the old established revenues of the Church. One of the mea- sures proposed in the late Parliament had a reference to the abolition of tithes, and to pay the clergy in some other way. It has been insinuated that the tithe system is oppressive, and injurious to agriculture. Is it probable that if tithes were abolished, separatists from the church would look with a less envious eye ? He was of opinion, that if tithes were removed, they would be more successful in making converts from our church, and destroying the connexion between the people and their clergy. Why, then, is the system that has existed for ages, and has the sanction of the Bible, to give place to some new system ? Let the clergy look vigilantly, lest, by some new system, they should become a prey to some abandoned Ministry. Nor must the clergy be less vigilant in regard to attacks on character. They must walk so circunibpectly, that their good be not evil spoken of; so as to make it evident that they do not seek personal interest, but in simplicity and sin cerity preach the Gospel of the Redeemer. It was a part of the system of the enemies of the church, to seek to lower the clergy in the estimation of the people, by charging them with pride, a worldly selfish spirit, incapacity, or idleness. This is no new charge. Bishop Gibson, in his charge, in 1746, alludes to the same insinuations. These things are harbingers of a storm. Our vigilance must result from a deep sense of the awful responsibility of the Ministerial office ; and must display itself in a diligent discharge of Ministerial duties. Knowing "we have this treasure in earthen vessels," we must watch against those imperfections in our temper and conduct, which our enemies will not overlook nor spare. Watch against the projected al terations in the Liturgy and services of the church. He did not pretend to say that our service is perfect, nor that some alterations might not be made with advantage. Imperfec tion cleaves to all human performances, and a Protestant Church must be prepared to make such alterations as may appear desirable. But let such alteration be made with gravity, and on sufficient grounds. As it would be a weak ness in any individual to change his sentiments, and adopt those of the last person be conversed with, so it would be disgraceful to the church to follow the suggestions of every innovator. Whatever be the progress of intellectual attainments in this day, no individual can be found possessed of more solid wisdom, more sterling integrity, more consummate pru dence, or unblemished purity, than the Reformers of the Church. If, in leaving the Church of Rome, we have approached nearer to the Apostolic standard, let us take heed that we lose not our advantages by grasping after shadows. Much has been said about our Ecclesiastical Courts. Indeed, the rule and authority of these Courts are so little known, so dark and contradictory, that reform is wanted. The committee appointed to investigate the matter, is con stituted of men of such experience, integrity, and wisdom, that he doubted not, good would be the result. Let us not consent to any innovations, the poeitive good of which cannot be seen. Let us shew ourselves active in the discharge of our sacred and all-important duties. EnucAztorr.—A scheme is at this moment in operation in France, to afford the means of useful and improving reading to the whole body of the - working population of France, by placing a public library in every one of the 40,000 communes (or parishes) into which the kingdom is divided. Unlike similar national institutions—which have hitherto, much to its credit, been the work of Government —the plan in question is to be accomplished by individual philanthropy. A capital is to be created by subscription, divided in shares of the moderate sum of fifteen francs (or 12s). Each library is to consist, at the commencement of 200 volumes, printed expressly for the society, of dimen sions, and upon a paper, such that the collection, with il lustrative maps and plates, may coat only 300 francs (or 121.) Thus 20 shares sullice to purchase a library. One person may subscribe for any number of shares ; and as the society may not be completed to its full extent at first, the holder or holders of 20 shares have a right to nominate a commune, which AO, in the first instance, have the right' conferred on it. f the books are to consist of the best ele mentary works on, the arts, sciences, and literature, history, biography, poetry;' and other subjects, selected by a com mittee at Paris, by whom the affairs of thwinstitution are to be conducted, under responsibility to the subscribers. PANORAMA OP THE BRITISH E M P 1 It E. TM Bran has for several minds sildbited such a picture elf Daerestic Events of the Empire, as never before was ateemplea. It wadies unspeakably the natives of districts who reside in London and distant counties, and is a Lerrien Taos' Howe to *very povhsdal in f o r e ign contotries, or in the colonies. It raises also into goseta fm. potence the exertions of local talents in every public mum. This as this is a duty performed alone by the STAR, those local ponies would ill deserve their name, if the STAR and Its interests werenot reeiproadly promoted by them in every district. We know it has been so in many plum', and the STAR in principles, and in all the best qualities of a paper, has justified preference; but we reasonably 'expect the sane at. tendons EVERY waxes, as the means of at woe recompensing our di. ligence, and adding to the utility of our valuable and exclusive infixes*. don. We call also on the Provincial Proprietors of Papers, whose local labours we thus illustrate, and invite with earnestness their powerful attentions in promoting those interests of the Paper which they best understand. We notoriously excel all London Papers in priority of Foreign News, and our display of the transactions of the country is equally exclusive and pre-eminent. BATH JOURNAL.

The vicissitudes of the British climate have seldom been more strik ingly displayed than in the present spring, which has manifested a variety of extremes. A great quantity of rain first delayed the putting in of the, Lent crops, which was, however, succeeded by a considerable period of compensating dryness, and this again by heavy showen of rain. At one period of the spring the prospect of an abundant year was never more striking ; but, subjected as the country has since been to a frost unusual and severe, " a nipping frost," on the morning of the 7th inst. with a prevalence of ungenlal east winds, more seasonable in the month of March than May, these favourable appearances are already in some respects materially changed. If rain, which is now promising rather than threatening a supply of moist ure , should b e given to us, vegetation would progress most rapidly after the last warm week; should it be much longer delayed the early grasses will be ripened, and the crops, like the year 1829, cannot be abundant. When we look back to 1825, and find the expenditure to have been annually 90001. more than it is now, with a county rata of 261. in. stead of 1,500, we must congratulate the pariah of Walcot on having Its make managed with judgment and economy. For what are the circumstances of the case ? Since 1825, the parish has greatly in. creased the amount of its population, and particularly of the poorer classes. The county rate, instead of being 261. is generally 15001— has been higher than 1,900 L The parish has been put to great ex. peen in building a new poor house, he. &c. All these things have led us to expect an' increase of rates, instead of which we have had a great decrease, as before stated. BAIDOWATTIL—Oo Friday last, a meeting of the inhabitant s of this borough was held at the Bristol Arms, to take into consideration the propriety of forming a Political Union, to promote purity of elec. des, and to prosecute and destroy, by all legal means, bribery and cot. ruption.

In consequence of this notice, we believe, a number of inhabi tants are about dining a requisition to the Churchwardens, calling on them to appoint a vestry to take the matter into consideration, and, if thought advisable, to resist the claim made upon the town.—Bassos Gauen*. A good deal of excitement has been produced in the neighbourhood of Wigan during the last few days, by the announcement of the death of Mr. Roger Leigh, of Leeds (the brother of Sir Robert Holt Leigh, of Hindley-hall), who, wl h his brother and many other persons, had been brutally maltreated at Wigan, during the election there of the 7th instant. As the it .trearment of Mr. Leigh took place on the 4th inst. and his death on the 13th, it was rather naturally taken for granted his lite bad fallen a sacrifice to the ill-treatment which he had experienced, and statements to that effect have appeared in some of the London and provincial newspapers. We understand, however, there is not the slightest reason for supposing that such is the fact. The personal in. juries which Mr. Leigh received at the election were by no means of a serious nature ; and no doubt is entertained by his medical attendants that be died from the effects of an inflammation of the lu4s. It op. pears that at the time of the election, whilst labouring tinder a severe cold, he was even greatly heated and excited by the riotous peessedings which took place, and, being pursued by the mob, he took shelter in a public-house, and whilst in a state of protium perspiration, concealed himself la a cold garret, where he remained several hours. This pro. duped some symptoms of inflammation, which perhaps might have been checked by timely bleeding ; but be declined submitting to that operation until it was too late; and even a very short time before death be was imprudent enough to venture out for the purpose of visiting his brother, 84 Robert, who was confined to his house by the injuries he had received. So little doubt was entertained with regard to the cause of his death, that it was thought quite unnecessary to hold an Inquest, and the body was interred on Thursday morning.

Searles—Why, Sir Henry, I have read my Bible a great deal, and I find there that we should " fear GOD and honour the King." Now our King has told us to send two reformers, and I voted as my mind told me was right. Sir Henry—Oh, no; it was all wrong—quite wrong. However, Searles, I have been thinking the trills you get can hardly be worth the trouble, and, therefore, I shall not want your ea vices at Berechurch any more.

OPENING THE COFFIN OF RING CHARLES THE FIRST, At Windsor, April 1, 1813, in the presence of Ms late Majesty. On removing the pall, a plain leaden coffin, with no ap pearance of over having been inclosed in wood, and bearing an inscription" King Charles, 1648," in large legible cha racters on a scroll of lead encircling it, immediately pre sented itself to view. A square opening was then made in the upper part of the lid, of such dimensions as to admit of a clear insight into its contents. These were an internal wooden coffin, very much decayed, and the body carefully wrapped up in cerecloth, into the folds of which a quantity of unctuous of greasy matter, mixed with resin, as it seemed, had been melted, so as to exclude, as effectually as possible, the ex ternal air. The coffin was completely full, and from the tena city of the cerecloth great difficulty was experienced in de taching it successfully from the parts which it enveloped. Wherever the unctuous matter had insinuated itself, the se paration of the cerecloth was easy ; and when it came off, a correct impression of the features, to which it had been applied, was observed in the unctuous substance. At length, the whole face was disengaged from its covering. The complexion of the skin of it was dark and disco. loured. The forehead and temples bad lost little or nothing of their muscular substance; the cartilage of the nose was gone ; but the left eye, in the first moment of expo sure, was open and full, though it vanished almost hums diately ; and the pointed beard, so characteristic of the pe riod of the reign of King Charles, was perfect- The shape of the face was a long oval; many of the teeth remained; and the left ear, in consequence of the interposition of the unctuous matter between it and the cere-cloth, was found entire. It was difficult at this moment to withhold a decla ration, that notwithstanding its disfigurement, the counte nance did bear a striking resemblance to the coins, the busts, and especially to the pictures of King Charles I. by Vandyke, by which it has been made so familiar to us. When the head had been entirely disengaged from the attachments which confined it, it was found to be loose, and without any difficulty was taken up, and held to view. It was quite wet, and gave a greeaish red tinge to paper and ' to linen.—The back part of the scalp was entirely perfect, and had a remaskably fresh appearance. The hair was thick at the back part of the head, and in appearance nearly black. A portion of it which has since been cleaned and dried, is of a beautiful dark brown colour. That of the beard was a redder brown. On the back part of the head it was not more than an inch in length, and had probably been cut so short for the convenience of the execution, or perhaps by the piety of friends soon after death, to furnish memorials of the unfortunate Monarch. On holding up the head, to examine the place of separa tion from the body, the muscles of the neck bad evidently retracted themselves considerably ; and the fourth cervical vertebra was found to be cut through its substance trans versely, leaving the surfaces of the divided portions per fectly smooth and even; an appearance which could have been produced only by a heavy blow, indicted with a very sharp instrument, and which furnished the last proof want ing to identify the body of King Charles the First. After this examination of the bead, and without examining the body below the neck, it was immediately restored to its situation, the coffin was soldered up again, and the vault closed."—[From a volume, just published, entitled, " Es says and Orations," by Sir Henry Halford.] Contraries are sometimes doomed to meet; as a specimen whisk winos% Masi* wasissestoy is wow one of the largest losses is Loam The windows of Ho'datums lisolo, Mick were demo , What as the olgbt Odom low illwoolsoimo, realm mosopatred.
