JUVENILE LEAD STEALERS.—SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.—John Barton, 14; Charles Fricker, 14; John Harrison, 13; Charles Reynolds,l7 ; Robert Rose, 17; and Charles Sopp, 11, whose head scarcely reached the top of the dock, were charged with stealing some lead from 2, Russell-place, Fitzroy-square, a house undergoing repair. From the evidence of Tofield, 76 E, it appeared that at 11 o'clock last night he saw all the prisoners going along, Rose carrying the lead on his shoulder. He followed them, and saw them go up to a marine-store dealer's. He then saw them leaving the shop, and went up and asked Rose what he had got, and he then threw down the lead and bolted. He took Barton into custody, and he gave him information which led to the capture of some of the others. On taking Sopp into custody he said he never had any of the money. Outred, 132 G, said h e too k some of the prisoners at four that morning in a I an, and, without his sayin,g a word, Fricker said, "1 did not take it." On asking him where his jacket was, he said a boy threw it into the pit of a theatre from the gallery; but on his asking him if he had not lent it to cover the lead, he admitted that was the case. To get at the lead they must have climbed over a hoarding. Tofield said they were always tossing together. Mr. Bingham.—lres; tossing in the daytime and stealing at night. Tofield said Fricker had been convicted at Mrrylebone. In answer to Mr. Bingham, as to what they had to say, Harrison said there was a broken rail, and they (Barton and Harrison) got through, and Sopp (a remarkably sharp litt'.e urchin) kept a look-out. The others replied they had nothing to say._ Mi. Bingham said he should commit them for 21 days each. BARON KINGSDOWN. The Right Hon. Thomas Pemberton Leigb, whose eleva. lion to the peerage under the title of " Baron Kingsdown, of Kingsdown, in the county of Kent," was chronicled in our columns yesterday, is the eldest surviving son of the late Mr. Robert Pemberton, of the Inner Temple, barrister at-law, by Margaret, eldest daughter and co-heir of the late Mr. Edward Leigh, of Bispham-hall, county of Lancaster, and brother of Mr. Edward Leigh Pemberton, the eminent equity draughtsman and conveyancer of Lincoln's-inn. His grandfather, Mr. Edward Pemberton, was an M.D. in practice at Warrington, and married Ellen, daughter of Mr. John Lyon, of Appleton. Mr. Pemberton Leigh was called to the bar in 1816, by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-inn, of which he is now a bencher, and was appointed, in 1829, " one of his Majesty's counsel learned in the law." In 1831 he enterd St. Stephen's as member for Rye in the Conservative interest, but did not continue to represent that constituency iu a second Parlia ment. At the general election of December, 1834, during Sir Robert Peel's brief tenure of office for the first time, he was elected member for Ripon, by a majority of 235 to 125 over the late member, Mr. T. K. Staveley ; and he was rechosen without a contest as the colleague of Sir Edward B. Sugden (now Lord St. Leonard's) in 1837, and again in 1811. In January, 1843, he succeeded to the estates of his mother's cousin, the late Sir Robert Holt Leigh, Bart., of Hindley-hall, Lancashire, and, in compliance with the terms of that gentleman's will, assumed the surname and arms of Leigh in addition to his own. Already, namely in 1841, he had been appointed Attorney- General to the Prince of Wales; and in May, 1843, he was promoted to the post of Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Great Seal to his Royal Highness, being sworn at the same time a member of her Majesty's Privy Council. His lordship has been for many years one of the most active members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; and his elevation to the peerage will be hailed with the cordial and hearty approval of the profession to which he belonged. His lordship has elected to take his title from the small parish of Kingsdown near SiLtingbeurne, in which he owns, we believe, an estate called Torrey Hill. Lord Kingsdown is unmarried. The Right Honourable Thomas Pemberton Leigh has been gazetted Baron Kinesdown. It is well known that when Lord Derby accepted office, he offered the seals to this distinguished man, but the offer was declined. Few men have had the courage t) reject so splendid a prize, and no doubt the public have been the sufferers by his decision. Fortunately, however, he has been prevailed upon to accept a peerage, so that henceforth his great abilities and pre eminent legal knowledge will be allowed that influence to which they are justly entitled. For some years past the country has had the advantage of Lord Kingsdown's pre sence in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Connell. Sitting in that tribunal, he sustained, and if possible in creased, the brilliant reputation which he had gained as a lawyer in the Courts of Equity. Without that narrow technicality which characterised his great rival, Lord St. Leonards, he exhibited an amount of legal knowledge, a power of grasping legal principles, and a clear vigour of diction, which place him in the ranks of the first English judges who have ever adorned the bench. The casts brought before the Privy Council require something more than a knowledge of mere municipal law. Neither a Coke upon Lit tleton," nor the decisions of Lord Eldon, will serve the pur pose of a judge of that tribunal. The Judicial Committee is the Court of Appeal from every qaarter of the globe, and lightly to determine the appeals that come before them requires a knowledge of almost every system of law which prevails throughout the civilised world. The Judge who attempts to grapple with the questions ventilated there must be more than a technical lawyer. He must be profoundly versed in the principles which lie at the root of all laws; in short, he must be a scientific jurist. Tte law of the Hui dons and the Mg . :me:tans, the civil law of the Romans, inter national, ecclesiastical, and maritime law, must ell be understood and applied. When an Indian subject bas bee❑ wronged, it is for tile Privy Council to grant him redress; if a clergyman en gages in a dispute with his bishop, it is for the Privy Coun cil to settle it ; if a war arises, and a ship is captured, it is for the Privy Council to apply the principles which are essential to the due determination of the ease. Nor is this all. Not only is it necessary for a Judge of that tribunal to know each system of law by itself; it is also necessary that he should be able to reconcile discordant principles, and to solve those difficult problems which arise in what is called a conflict of laws. The events of the last few years have given ample scope for the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. The disputes arising out of the Gorham and Belgravian controversies; the prize questions arising out of the Baltic blockade and the Russian war, have required for their settlement the utmost impartiality, the clearest judgment, and the most accurate knowledge of law. In the discussion of these questions while in course of argu ment, and in the preparation of the written opinions in which the advice of the Council has been tendered to her Majesty, Lord Kingsdovin has taken the most prominent part. It is, we have good reason to know, the universal opinion that no series of judgments ever gave more univer sal satisfaction. Indeed, unless it be in the decisions of Lord Stowell, or in those of the Supreme Court of the United States, it would be difficult to find a more splendid monu ment of judicial ability than exists in the Privy Council Reports during the time of Mr. Pemberton Leigh. It would be well if the same thing could he said of the cotempora neous decisions of the House of Lords. If that anomalous tribunal is to be maintained, it ought at all events to be made as efficient as possible, and certainly no better means could be devised for this purpose than by advancing Mr. Pemberton Leigh to the peerage. He is still in the vigour of his powers. There is no abler lawyer now living. The country has reason to congratulate itself that this eminent man has consented to accept the honour which Lord Derby has bad the good sense to offer him.—Daily News. Can. Gov. 6 p.c.

THE NUMBER OF COUNTY COURT JUDGEB.—By a late act it is declared that until Parliament shall otherwise direct there shall only be GO county court judges. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.—On Tuesday afternoon, Thomas Brown, a prisoner, who had just received a sen tence of ten years' penal servitude, made his escape from Lancaster Castle. After leaving the dock he went down the stairs into a plssaze leading into the debtors' yard, and finding the coast clear he made his way to the gates, where he presented himself as one of the workmen going into the town fur some tools. The turnkey, Thomas Pennington, let him out, and though an alarm was given immediately, or within a few minutes, no trace of the man could be found. The prisoner was an old offender, having been previously convicted of felony, and sentenced to four years' penal ser vitude. William Cooper is his real name. 115} 14i 1103} THIS DAPS SHIPPING.

The half-yearly report of the directors of this company states that the capital expended to 31st December, 1857, was £11,298,655 lls. 6c1.; from January to June, 1858, £61,789 12s. 10d.; total expended on capital account, £11,360,445 4s. 41.; balance unexpended, £83,958 15e. Bd. The following were the chief items of expenditure upon construction account during the half-year :-Works fir the accommodation of the Midland Company's traffic at King's cross, £17,847 Is.; moiety of cost of Leeds Station Junction line, purchased from North-Eastern Company, £10,605 7s. 51; granary and station works at Leeds, £3,166 Os. 5t1.; extension of locomotive works at Peterboro', £4,909 185.8 d.; additions to stations, &c., including new curse at Belford, additional platform at King's-cross, station bridge at Don caster, bridge over Witham at Lincoln, &c., £6,042 ls. 11d. It has also been necessary to provide additional tools and machinery for the company's workshops to the amount cf £2,042 13s. 10d., a n d t o purc h ase ro lli ng stock, consisting of fit.gt and second class carriages, and of luggige and other waggons, at the cost of £5,::34 19s. 2,1. and £3,320 19S. 11d. respectively. The gross receipts for the half-year, 29 shown by the revenue account, were £587,027 17s. 7d.; for the corresponding period in 1857, £577,631 13s. 6d.; increase in 1858, £9,306 4e. ld.; and total expenditure for the half-year was £327,193 lls. id.; for the corresponding period in 1857, £2296,955105. Bd.: shoeing an increase in the expenditure of £30,238 *Os. 91 The balance available, effer payment of working expens-s, is £259,834 6s. 2d. ; to which must be added-as seown in the net revenue account-balance from the last half-year, £319 60. Li.% ' • Royston and Ilitchin rent due from Eastern Counties Company, £8,400; balence of the Redpath account,' £4,248 9s. Bd.; tote! net revenue, £272,802 2s. 2d. For the half-year ended 39th June the sum was £289,076 2s. 10d.; the net revenue account is therefore less than in June, 1857, by £16,274 Os. 8,1. Of the above sum of £272,802 2s. 2d. the rent and fixed charges absorb £107,498 17s. Id., the preference dividends re nuire £83,983, the net balance being £81,320 Ee. Id. This amount will yield a dividend at the rate of £3 7s. 6-i. per cent. per annum upon the original stock; and £3 7s. 6d. towards £6 per cent. for the year to the holders of B stock. The directors therefore recommend that these divi dends be declared. The general depression of the mercan tile and manufacturing interests has seriously affected the traffic of all railways; and but for the new traffic ob tained to and from Manchester, the amount received upon the Great Northern Railway would have been much less than in the first half of 1857; even the local traffic of the agricultu ral districts (not subject to competition) suffered; 36,500 fewer local passengers having been carried, than in the corres ponding half-year of 1857. The expense of working the Manchester traffic has of course been considerable; but the directors believe that the money has been well spent in in troducing to the trading and manufacturing p u bli c th e faci lities an advantages of the Great Northern route between London and Lancashire. The Manchester and Sheffield and Great Northern Traffic Bill was strenuously opposed by the London and North-Western Company, in the committee of the House of Commons, but after a contest of 21 days the committee unanimously passed the bill, having declared that the agreement of 1854, made between the London and North-Western and the Manchester and Sheffield Companies, by which traffic between London and Manchester by the Great Northern route was obstructed, was ultra vires, and at variance with public policy. In the committee of the House of Lords the bill wre again opposed by the London and North Western Company, but their lordships unanimously reported in its favour, without al lowing counsel for the promoters to reply to the speech and caw on behalf of the opponents. The bill re ceived overwhelming support by witnesses from several parts of Lancashire and the Eastern Coun ties, rs also from several of the most opulent mer cantile firms in London connected with Manchester. The passing of this bill must convince the proprietors of the London and North-Western Railway that they can no longer he allowed to monopolise the entire London and Lancashire traffic. Parliament has thereby declared that the Great Northern and Manchester and Sheffield Com panies were lay justified in establishing a second through route between London and the Eastern Counties and Lan cashire, as suggested by Lord Dalhousie in his report on railways in 1845. The general traffic of the Great Northern Company was for several months subject to most severe competition ; and the directors feel ca ll e d upon to s t a t e that they made several ineffectual attempts to put'an end to the very low rates which prevailed bet ween London and Lancashire. On the 7th April last they and the Man chester and Sheffield directors offered to adopt much higher rates than were then current between London and Man chester and other places, and made a public announce ment to that effect; but they declined to restore them to the former high sca'e chalked by the London ant North- Western. Their offer having been refused by the L-ndon and North-Western, fens and rates remained very low until the 16th of June, when it was intimated to the ditectots that if they would adverli.e the tares which they had proposed on the of April the Lsndon and North- Western would follow them. This was immediately done, and on the 21st of June the farce and rates proposed by the Great Northern Company in April for Liverpool and Man chester were adopted by both routes, and remain so up to this time. The proprietors will remember that under the agreement with tue Manchester and Sheffield Company that company is entitled 101: aeive out oftiseeernings at icing ;:om through traffic such a sum ea would, wi.h t heir other receipts, make up the gross sum of £IO,OU per week, subject to being repaid when their gross receipts exceed £ll,OOO per week. The Great Northern have accordingly advanced £25,000 on account to the Manchester and S!tetlield Company, in respect of the earnings for the year 18,73. The direct route from London to Huddersfield being about 20 wiles nearer by the Great Northern route, rid Sheffield and Penistone, than by the London and North-Western route, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company being under agreement with the London and North-Western Com pany to afford the public no benefit from this shorter communication, the directors deemed it prudent to petition Parliament for the insertion of throt ;It booking and forwarding c'ausc • to be inserted in the le!ll for the amalga mation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Ea-t Lanca shire railways. The committee of the House of Commons inserted these clauses, which would have afforded reasonable facililies to the Great Northern traffic for Huddersfield and the we,t, of Yorskshire. The bill, rs thus nmerded, was; adopted by its promoters"; bit the amnlgamation was re jected by the House of Lords, in consequence of the opposition of other parles, and the clauses were conse quently lost. It is evident, however, that the Legislature will so in put an end to all combinations betwe encom panics limiting or restricting the f..ee use of r2ilway com munication; and the directors therefore expect Vat the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company will adopt the clear in tention of Parliament by acting upon the principle of the clauses inserted in the bill. The Hertford and Welwyn Railway was opened for traffic arrange ments have been made for a system of through bookkg with that company and with the Eastern Counties Com pany, to and from Victoria Docks, Blackwell, and other places beyond Hertford. The Hertford and Welwyn, and Lnton, Dunstable and Welwyn Rvilway Companies, p romo t e d an ac t i n thi s session of Parliament for the purpose of uniting the two undertakings, and they have been incorporated into one company, under the title of The Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable Railway.' fhe directors obtained the insertion of a provision in the act binding the united companies to offer facilities for the carriage of traffic between London and any place to which the united rp , lways form the shortest or most direct route, and to admit the Great Northern Company to use the amalgamated lines on equal terms witb the Erstern Counties Company. The Gladstone aw*d for the division of all receipts from traffic between London and several towns is Yorashire, &c., which was renewed in 1853, for fourteen years, was cancelled in July, 1858, by notice from the London and North-Western Company; but the directors 8111 hope that competition at inadequate fares and rates may b?, avoided. Tim Midland Railway Company are now running passenger trains daily in and out of King's-croLa Station, and the buildings for their goods business r"e nearly completed. The directors regret that circumstances occurred in the caurse of last winter which rendered it de s irable to dispense with the services of Mr. J. R. Mowatt, as secretary. Mr. Henry Oakley, formerly assistant-secretary, and lately the accoun tant, has been appointed secretary." SOUTII YORKSHIRE. The report of the directors of this company states "That the accounts for the half -3 ear ending the 30th of June last ex hibit a gross income of £69,896 earned in connection with the railway and navigation, at a total expenditure of £30,233, leaving a balance of £39,533, which, added to £733 from the 31st of December, 1857, makes a total of £40,266. From this is deducted £23,139 for interest on loans and rent, leaving a balance of £17,127. Oct of this is deducted the dividend for preference shares, leaving a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital, and a balance of £216. The receipts for the past half-year show an increase of £2,520, and the expenses a decrerse of £543, as compared with those of the corresponding period of 1857. The quantity of coal carried for the half-year ending June last was 468,382 tons, against 433,083 in the same period of 1857, showing an increase of 34,899 tons. The export trade from Grimsby amounted to 50,867 tons, against 40,910 tons at the corresponding period of 1857, showing an increase of 9,957 tons. The report states that " The past half-year has been one of very severe depres sion upon the trade and commerce of the country. Every railway in the kingdom bas suffered severely from these circumstances, and it was not to be expected that this un dertaking would escape. Accordingly it hrs been found that the receipts from the canals hare been reduced In the half-year to the extent of £3,311 ; and the merchandise traffic on the railway hcs elso fallen off £514. It is matter of congratulation, however, that the mineral traffic, which is the staple trade of the railway, has not only not been maintained, but has shown an increase of tonnage for the half-year of nearly 05,0(.3 tons as compered with the cor responding half °first year. In consequence of the advance of the rates, together with the increased tonnage carried, the gross receipts from the mineral traffic have been about £5,000 in excess of the corresponding period of last year, and this would have afforded an additional 1 per cent. divi dend on the ordinary share capital, bad not the loss in the canal receipts, from the depm Zion of trade, occurred, and the interest on the debenture debt been increased." The capital account shows that £2,223,920 had been re ceived and £2,164,878 expended, leaving a balance of £59,041. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. The directors intend to declare a dividend for the past half-year of 41- per cent. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The usual abstract of accounts shows the net surplus revenue for the half-year to be £81,511 O. Bd., out of which the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be paid to the proprietors of the con solidated stock, which will leave a balance of £ 7,570 115. 6J. to be carried to the credit of the next half-year's accqunt. pany. The dividend account shows the income for the half year to be £4,698 19s. 9d., and an expenditure of £1,656 55. 3d., leaving a balance of £3,032 14s. 61, applicable to payment of dividend for the half year ending 31st July, 1858. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was agreed to. CORK AND BANDON. The directors declare the dividend in the following terms :—" The revenue account, made up to the 30th June last, after providing for all expenses, outstanding accounts, interest, new laying of rails and sleepers, and painting the entire rolling sleek, &c., shows a sarplu.N of £1,595 3s. scl. available for dividend on the No. 1 preference shares, at 5i per cent., leaving the sum of £275 3 s. sd. to be carried to next half-year's account. EDINBURGH AND BATHGATE. ---- The ordinary half-yelrly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Edinburgh, on Tuesday—Mr. Thomas Hill, chairman, presiding. The report for the half year, ending July 31, was read by the secre t a r y . I t stated that, in terms of a resolution passed at last half-yearly ordinary meeting, the directors gave the shareholders the option of paying up their shares in full and receiving per cen t. on such pre-payment, of which option the shareholders holding 422 shares bad availed themselves, and the sum of £3,094 was received from these sources as at Whitsunday last. The directors had been inclined to receive the debenture bonds falling due at Whitsunday last, en what they consider favourable terms, and without the usual expenses ; but as the reduction has been accomplished so recently the full value will not be derived by the shareholders until the next half year. The directors recommended that the dividend to be declared for the half year enclirg the 31st July last should be at the rate of ss. 9d. the share. Two vacancies having occurred in the direction, one from the de a th o f M r. Sligo, the other from the resignation of slr. Shairp, of Houston!), the directors had elected Mr. W. Johnston, of Bathgate, and Mr. James Alexander, of Balmule, Dunfermline, to the vacant seats at the board. From the extract of accounts appended to the report it appears that on actual account there is a balance of £348 2s. Gd. at the credit of the corn- LIMERICK AND FOYNES. A general meeting of this company was held on 1 4 taturday at Limerick—Mr. W. H. Barrington was called to the Chair. MONSELL called the attention of the meeting to the interview of a deputation with Lot d Derby within the past week, at which it had been stated that the last commis sion on the western harbours of Ireland had not given its preference to Foyers Harbour as an American packet station: The right hon. gentleman went on to read from the report it , elf, in which the commissioners distinctly state that they have given the preference to the Shannon over the port of Galway ; and that of the ports in toe Shannon they consider Foyncs the best adapted f r the purpose of a packet station. Mr. Mons - ell further observed that while there was no desire on the part rf te meeting to detract from the merits of any other port, or lessen its cldins on the Go►ernment, it was but proper that Lord Derby should be set right on the subject, and net he misinformed as to the decision of the commissioners. A resolution proposed by Mr. MoNsELL and seconded by Mr. WHITE was unanimously adopted, requesting the chairma❑ to call Lord Derby's attention to the report, and inform his lordship that the line of railway from Foynes to Limerick, which time commissioners considered to be neces sary to fit Foynes for a transatlantic packet station, is now constructed and at work. CONSECRATION OF A NEW CHURCH AT RICHMOND. On Saturday last the Bishop of Winchester consecrated the handsome edifice which has just been erected on Rich mond-hill, and which bears the designation of St. Matthias' Church. It is an exceedingly spacious building, being cal culated to accommodate a thousand worshippers without having recourse to galleries. "It is built," to borrow the architectural description of the Union, "from a design by Mr. Gilbert Scott, and has a nave, aisles, and side chapels in the position where the transepts are usually planned, to gether with a chancel and semicircular apse. There is a clerestory, supported by a series of columns and arches that divide the nave from the aisles. The moulded work, com prising the voussoirs of these arches, is sumewbat plain; but their labels are terminated by heads of the Apostles, carved in stone with great taste, feeling, and judgment. The abaci of the capitals are octangular, formed of mould ings of the most beautiful section ; and their bell portions are profusely embellished in endless variety with carvings of the leafage, and fruit and flowers of the oak, rose, ivy, maple, bramble, briony, lily, marigold, vine, convelvuli, &c., conventionally treated; some portions of which, particularly those at the external angles, are in very high relief and much undercut, so as to be rendered highly effec tive. The whole of the capitals of the divisional shafts in the apse, the slender ones of its three windows, together with the corbels that support the arches dividing the aisles from the chapels, alss the brackets on which the principals of the roof rest, are all similarly treated, and thus keep up a due and satisfactory harmony in the carved work of the interior. The western doorway has a tympanum over it which is tilled by moulded work, having in its centre an en riched boss of briony leaves, encompassed by a circular moulding. The seats are all open, and, though not finished with poppy heads at their ends, are extremely characteristic. There are already three stained glass windows in the church, all of which, we understand, are donations. Two of them have been supplied from the works of Mr. Lavers, are two lights each, and are inserted in the south aisle. That nearest the east end represents our Saviour in two characters, viz , the " Good Shepherd," and as standing knocking at the door. These figures were designed by Mr. Marks, and are rereeseated under canopies which have exceedingly rich ruby backgrouude, appropriate borelerings, and the panels below them of geometrical design. The other window by Mr. La yen hes also a rich background, on which is emblazoned medallions of the rose, lily, passion-flower, and vine, ren dered conventionally in a very artistic manner. There are quatrefoils above, of a corresponding character, with sacred monograms introduced in their centres. The pulpit is of wood on a stone base and pedestal, and is placed opposite the base of the cancel columns on the northern side." We may add that it is very tastefully carved, each panel bearing a design which combines the well-known linen pattern with foliage. The font is of Caen stone, and consists of a round basin richly decorated with sculpture. Mr. Scott has introduced into his plans one or two archi tectural novelties, which deserve a passing notice. Thus the west front, which is very elaborate, is crowned by a moulded arch, similar in size to that at the other end of the nave by which the junc!ion with the chancel is effected. The experiment is not, however, likely to invite imitation. It has a make-shift leok, and suggests the idea that it is in tended come day to lengthen tl e clutch, which, considring the position of the tower (over the west bay of the north aisle) is, of course, out of the question. The chancel roof s in some degree a stone construction, the principals being curved, and resembling the ribs of a grained It is simple and very effective ; hut it may be doubted whe ther there is not a little dkprep,rtion between the vault ing shafts and the somewhat light timbers which rest upon them The stained windows do not entirely escape the long since exploded, but it would seem not altogether obsolete, mistake oft unning too much on the positive colours. air. Ruskin ha', we believe, somewhere, an cicque:it and very sensible passage on this subject. The points mentioned, how ever, are but miner blemishes, and the church as a whole does credit to the taste and the enlightened liberality of its promoters. The entire cost of the building and fittings up to the present time has been about £8,000; and it is worthy of remark that when it was handed over to the bishop for consccra!ion it had net only been paid fur, but the committee had £7O in hand. Nevertheless, a sum oof £1,5 was re quired to complete th e beautif u l and spire which had for the present been left uniinisbed. The dedicatory services on Saturday were in conformity with the usage of the di( cese. The sentence of consecration was read by the Chancellor, Mr. Sumner, and having been signed by the bishop, was handed to the registrar, Mr. R. C. Rothesay, for enrolment in the archives of the see. After the Nicene Creed, the right reverend prelate en tered the pulpit and preached an eloquent sermon from Rev. xiv., v. 23, " And I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps ; and they sung as it were a new song before the throne." Dr. Sumner contrasted at some length the ac count given by St. John of the ritual of heaven and the celestial congregation, with the congregations that fre quented the houses of prayer on earth. In heaven the whole assembly and church of the first-born were present; but the assembly who had met there that day were but a few out of a whole parish, just as of old a few were gathered toge ther in an upper roam out of an entire people. But why was that ? Why was the congregation ecletic instead of catholic, a gathered flock instead of all the sheep for whom Christ had died? In Heaven all the congregation wore the white robe, which was the righteousness of the saints; but how many on earth were there who hail not on the wedding garment ! Were there none in that very place who had come for cariosity, none from custom, none from compulsion, none to see, none to be seen? In Heaven they worshipped before the throne itsef ; on earth they could only approach God through ordinances and means of grace. Still they must not suppose that the "new song" spoken of in the text was like the sweet but unintelligible strains of distant music. They were told its very words— " Worthy is the Lamb that was slain !" That was Heaven's music; let Christians also make it theirs. Let them echo back in their lives the celestial accents that came to them from above. Finally, let them remember that amongst the 20 harpers there was none who struck a discordant note, none that was mute. Let them never forget that unity was the *hest Christian duty. It was not when the sacrifices were offered, not when the Ark was borne into the Holy place, but when "the trumpeters and singers were as one to make one sound to be heard in praising the Lord," that the Temple " was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the House of God." The right rev. pre late concluded his address by c ong r a t u lating the people of Richmond on the auspicious event which had called theta together. The affecting sentences were then read, e _ati_d a c 3. collection was made, amounting to the liberal sum f.ti After the ceremony the bishop partook of a handsome collation provided by a number of ladies of the parish, in a spacious marquee erected near the church. The chair was taken by Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., the donor of the site. The learned gentleman, after acknowledging the liberal subscrip tions of the royal family, proposed the health of her Majesty, e/ the lady of the manor." He then proposed the health of the bishop, making a graceful allusion to a 'miler occasion, when his late father had received the right rev. prelate at the consecration of St. John's Church, seven-and-twenty years before. The BiseroP, in responding to the toast, pronounced a warm eulogium upon Mr. Selwyn, and remarked that im portant as had been the benefactions of the family, its most valuable gift to the church had been the chairman's right rev. brother, the Bishop of New Zealand. Dr. Sumner then complimented the vicar, the Rev. Mr. Dupuis, upon his exer tions for the good of the parish, and proposed his health. Mr. Dupuis, in reply, gave a humorous account of the difficulties with which the committee bad had to grapple, and the t r iumphant success which bad crowned their efforts. The BISHOP next proposed the Chairman; and in acknow ledging the toast, Mr. SELWYN announced that the Marquis of Landsdowne had promised 50/. towards the completion of the tower and spire, a sum which he (Mr. Selwyn 150/. (Cheers.) ) would make up to " The Committee" and " The Ladies" were next duly honoured, after which the party broke up. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The following has been received by the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company from Mr. Wildman White house : " VALENTIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING. " Newfoundland has sent throughout the night the usual adjustment signals. Several short messages con nected with signals have been received from them, the longest containing seven words; also the word Newfound land—all being spelt in full, and received and recorded with perfect accuracy." We have also received the following : " VALENTIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING. "Signals constantly interchanged by the cable. It is expected the instruments taken out to Newfoundland by the Gorgon will shortly be so adjusted as to be able to com municate."

There is much to attract thisnoticein f antror:ven 9 alsts though it is not particularly distinguish e d or personages. The hero Maurice is a very peculiar character, one that gains on the interest after a time, but at first sight he seems unworthy o f regard. There is something very melancholy in the life here traced before us. He was misunderstood from child hood—his father's harshness, his mother's absurd fondness, alike contributed to ruin the boy. He fancied himself ill-used, he despaired of doing right, and every year increased the morbid tendency of his mind and added to the fears that already distracted his weak nerves. Under judici ous training he might have been very different, his gentle nature might have been I strengthened and matund ; his kind feelings ren dcred him capable of performing some great and good work, but under the training referred to, his energies became paralysed, the weeds of his charac ter alone fl,mrished, the bud that promised a fair ilower was withered, the blossom that betokened the goodly fluitage was blighted. It is painful to dwell on the recital of the sad day s of Maurice': early life, not that his youth was any happier ; but at last it is sati,faetory to find the cloud which had so longover shadowed him dispersed, to know that he was free from the chains which had held him in thraldom through the lapse of years that should have been the brightest mid happiest of his existence. He was enabled to prove to doubting friends, and sneering foes, that one courage differs from another, that he whose physical organisation makes him timid, whose mental control will not suffice to conquer his fears, may succeed in some endeavours, arid obtain a tri umph when least expected. Maurice bad no fears for self, but he was constitutionally nervous, and all conspired to militate against him. lt is evident 0 every one that the self-sufficient Grenville was by far the greater coward of the two. In the excess of his animal spirits, and the recklessness of his strength, he assumed to himself a position that he falsely mis took for the evidence of merit. In the passages re corded of his youth he was cruel; in the scenes described of his manhood he was base. To take advantage of such a nature as Maurice's—to act as he did while the latter was a guest under his roof—was more the conduct of a coward than any mistake com mitted by one whose nerves were so shattered, and whose temperament was so peculiar, as was the case with his injured victim. Some of the female charac ters are delineated with skill and success. The devoted Isabella, ever trusting in broken reeds for her happiness, is a warning to excitable and restless minds. Her judgment must have been wrecked before she saw anything to admire in her despicable brother. Eugenia is an engaging heroine ; full of life and energy, she was eminently calculated to rouse Maurice to a sens e of the duties of active life, and a conviction of the necessity for vigorous effort and complete self-mastery. Sir Arthur is a very natural sketch of a strong-minded man, rejoicing in bodily strength and mental vigour, and not at all inclined to make allowances for those whose frames were more deli cate, and whose feelings were more sensiOve than his own. Nothing creates more dissension and ultimate disunion among friends and families than this want of mutual forbearance one with the other, and the miseries that ensue therefrom are most powerfully described in the pages of this work. The timidity of the son, the fanciful ness of the mother, the irritation and hasti ness of the father, caused many a scene of strife in the Hall of Framleigh. Eugenia is represented as a blessed visitant in the home—attracting all hearts, she seemed to unite them. Some of the important parts of the story are told with spirit, and the gene ral impression conveyed by its perusal is a satisfac tory one. There is also some degree of novelty in the idea of such a character as Maurice, that imparts an additional interest to the work. The Booh of Farm Implements and Machines. By J. Slight and R. Scott Burn, engineers. Edited by H. Stephens, F.R.S.C., author of " The Book of the Farm." Blackwood and Sons. Those who regard farming as an old-fashioned plodding business, which has little to do with the march of mind and the progress of invention, will be somewhat astonished at the sight of this valuable and goodly volume, entirely devoted to the consideration of farm implements and machines. It is a remark able sign of the diffusion of knowledge, and the ele vation of every pursuit into a science, that agricul tural labour should be treated in such a spirit. During the interval that elapsed between the first publication of " The Book of the Farm," the pre decessor of this work, and the demand for a second edition, great changes had taken place in thetrin ciples of agricultural theory. The application of chemistry to agriculture was opening a wide field to the anticipations of the most eager experimentalists ; and though, the author admits, after some experience, the results have scarcely con firmed the expectations formed, yet there can be no doubt that 01 future systems of agriculture must be based on a knowledge of chemical principles. Owing to this important addition to agricultural science, some alterations were indispensable in the second. edition of " The Book of the Farm." It was judged most expedient to omit those parts which described the construction of agricultural machines in order to avoid an increase of size. It was the intention of the late Mr. Slight, the able exponent of the depart ment of agricultural mechanicq, to have publiAcd a minute desc4tion of every important machine and implement in use, in a separate volume, as a companion to " The Biok of the Farm" in its revised state. His death put a stop to the plan, and some years have passed without the editor having been able to supply his place. Mr. Robert Scott Burn, a practical engineer, whose name is well known among scientific agriculturists, has un dertaken the task, and completed this useful and valuable work. Many new machines, in these t 2.5 3 75 of rapid invention, have been introduced since Ms.; Slight's time, and all these have been described with the necessary care and precision. It is not attempted to figure every agricultural machine in use in the kingdom. The writers have contented themselves with describing and delineating those really of use. " The whole stock," it is observed in the preface, " may be divided into two categories, namely, those which are not now in general use, and those which are in use. It is needless to describe machines which. have become obsolete, only those whic h are in use really deserving our attention ; and even every one of these should not be described, because some cannot be commended, and others are inaccessible on account of the indifference or jealousy of their inventors." Restricting themselves, therefore, to the considera tion of the machines and implements actually in use, the authors have separated them into two great divi sions—those used directly for the culti va ti on o f t h e soil, and those used only in connection with it s pro ducts. Their mechanical construction is t rea t e d o f ; - their applicability to the p ur p oses f or wh i ch they wereintended and the scientific principles which regu late the choice of mat er i a l s, are expla i ned, and an .abstract or outline o f t h e pr i nc i ples of construct i on given. The clearness and method with which the contents of the work are classified and subdivided add greatly to its practical value. Thus the work is divided into two books, entitled respectively Principles" and "Practice." These each contain four divisions, those in the first book consisting of the materials employed in construction, the princi ples, the practice, and Friction and Force. t Those in thesan.dl machinesse se c c o o n nddlby connectedoktreat witho firstly, th e; u l t implements t h i e vaionof tht soil; of implements and m ac hi nes conn ected with the products of the soil ; thirdly, of the moving powers of the farm ; and, fburthly, of the arrange ment of machines in the steading. The illustrations are among the m os t va l ua bl e portions of the work. There are 40 engravings on steel, and upwards of 800 woodcuts. This of itself shows the care and labour which have been bestowed upon the work, which forms a worthy companion to Mr. Stephens' " Book of the Farm." It is a trophy:which the agri culturists of England have good cause to be proud of, as showing the mind and invention that have been devoted to the advancement of their art, and the able and practical men that it may r an k among its expositors. AIR. WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR.—The Manche:- ter Guardian says :—We are sorry to learn that, in con sequence of certain unfortunate difficulties in which he has become involved, Mr. Walter Savage Landor, the well known poet and essayist, has found it necessary to leave the country. A collection of pictures, the property of the venerable litterateur, are advertised to be sold by auction at Mr. Capes's rooms. SICILIAN WINEs.-IVe have received advices from Sicily, says the Malta Times, and regret to learn that the favourable prospects of an abundant vintage which existed a few weeks back have been completely destroyed by the tre mendous sirocco winds which visited Sicily at the beginning of July. Consequently, we may not for the present expect any decrease in the price of Marsala and other wines from e that island.
