I may. therefore, venture to address you in terms of grateful con gratulation on the 1 roximate solution of the Oaths question. I can never forget the generous and decided part which you have taken in this qaestion, and the impulse your confidence and support gave to it, when you conferred on me the honour of electing me one of your representatives in Parliament. It is indeed satisfactory to feel that the consummation is so near at hand, and that we are at length on the eve of enjoying this last long delayed instalment of civil and religious liberty. All honour and thanks to London and Greenwich say I ! Let me here gratefully acknowledge the influence exerted by her Majesty's Government, in the settlement of this long-vexed and entangled subject of Parliamentary Oaths. I r(joice at the prospect of being able to address you, no longer snbje tt to any disability, and to assure you of my earnest desire to place my humble services at your disposal whenever an opportunity may offer. ,8t whatever period a vacancy in the representation of your borough may happen, you may rely on my coming forward to solicit a renewal of that t ust you once so generously confided to me.

TnoßLErs FOOD FOR CATTLE. - It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c.; the animals which carried off the highest pr'zes, had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves. and we are forced to the conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All panics interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate.street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

STAMPED 5,: j •] POLICE INTELLIGKYCE.-July 13. PRINCE thee E a N s t A m P o O n L t h E o O r N t w a LIMOGES, Suitt 1. o series of DiPirßinprovin cial exhibitions, or, as they are termed, Expositions Regionates, have been held on various points of the French tt -ery, in which the agricultural, manu ,sturing, and natural products of the respective districts . have been exhibt e d . The exhibition at Limoges is, however, of a more comprehensive and important character, for when it was announced on the 9th of last March that Prince Napoleon in tended to visit the town on that occasion, the muni cipal authorities, having at their head the Prefer de la Haute-Vienne, the Cotute de Coetlogon, and the gentry of the neighbourhood, determined to invite the 12 central districts of F.ance—Creuse, Correze. Puy-de-Dome, Allier, Cher, Indre, Vienne, Cha rente Charente-Inferieure, Dord o gne, Gi ron d e, and Deux Sevres—to contribute specimens of their agricultural, industrial, and artistic productions, so as to exhibit the resources of the centre of France, which until lately has been very inefficiently pro vided with means of communication with Paris, ports of shipment, or the great centres of consump tion, and which, as it lies out of the main lines of travel, is seldom visited byEoglish tourists. Never theless few, if any, of the railways starting from Paris pass through a more pleasing country, or one better calculated to convey to a foreiguer a fair idea of the agricultural resources of France than the railroad which for the present stops short at Limo ges. At the same time there is no line of road which affords better evidence of how much remains to be done before those resources can be adequately developed, and how vast a field is open to capital and enterprise. From Paris to Orleans the country is fAireill ae enough to most English tourists—thanks, in no small measure, •to that little colony of their country_ men who have established themselves Or Tours, in the capital of the "Garden of Frandes." But from Orleans, where the line branches otretts Limo- gee, the country is not so well known, and.yet it exhibits some of the richest and most picturesque, and, at the same time, some of the poorest - and most desolate districts in France. Before reaching Or leans, the railway passes through the .great corn and grain district of Beauce, :which looks like an im mense allu vial plain stretching away on either side to the 'horizon, and now covered by rich crops. The appearance of the crops is most satisfactory ; so far as could be judged they give promise of an abun dant harvest, which it is much to be hoped will not be falsified by the rain and cold weather that have set in with a persistence rarely to be met with at this season so far south. Leaving to the right the city which the simple peasant girl of Domrerny has made famous through all tints and is so rich in historic memories of Englishmen, the railway c. oases the Loire—looking so calm and gentle now that it is with difficulty one can realise the change to a raging torrent that elsewhere leaps from its bed and inundates the countryside—and passes through a long succession of gardens where once the soldiers of Salisbury, Warwick, and Suffolk foraged - and many found their last resting-place. The gardens are as primly kept, the trees and shrubs as mathematically regular in their outline as the veriest Dutchman could desire, and-yet, despite their formality, they are pleasing to the eye ; perhaps more from the fact that they precede the entry into Sologne—a bleak and desolate tract of country—than from anyiutrinsio merits of their own. Tee extent of this district must be consider able, for during several h ours th e t ra i n passes over land no more fortis than %Yoking-common. Trees dwarfed and stunted into fentastics shapes are grouped here and there along the hedges of stag nant pools, or on hillocks at a distance. No sjgns of animal life are visible, save at rare intervals, such as La Mothe-Beauvron, where during his Presidency of the Republic the Emperor pur chased in 1852 a considerable estate, with the in tention of reclaiming the land. In these localities, which are few and far between, the land is Cleared and marled. Brick houses, which have a thoroughly English look, have been built on the borders of the clearings, and roads opened from point to point that give an earnest of the conquest to fertility which during the next few years the genius and industry of man may effect. Most as suredly not the least among the achievements of the Second Enipire•will be bringing under cultiva tion the Sologne. After la Mothe-Beauvron the country g rows more wild and desolate iu appear ance. Athin and scanty heather springs from the soil, and scarcely hides its stony nature. The stag nant pools are thick with yellow mud, and the few plantations of pines throw a melancholy shade-over the landscape. In sortie dist: ictithe soil is,beaped, with boulders, the weather-worn and purple sur faces of which contrast strongly with the vegeta tion. Nothing can he more picturesque than the annesratrce of these rocks, for they look like the debris of eou.o grand Ltanic struggis—lilsc t:.c riles of fortresses bUilt" up, by giants. Here they are ' massed into heights steep and rugged,—there they are hurled over the.soil. without connexion or con tinuity. Although generally so desolate the dis trict is not without interest to the historical stu dent, nor without charms to the lover of landscape neither is it so unproductive as might be at first imagined. Not far from the station of Salbris is the once fortified town of Romorantin, which was besieged by the Black P r i nce , and is now the centre of an important cloth manufactory for army clothing. It was here that Francis I. origi nally intended to erect the edifice which was subse quently built and now exists at Chamberd . • The Royal Chateau of Chenonceau, the residence of Francis 1., Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medi cis, and Mary Stuart, is too well known to need more than a passing notice. At Vierzon, where the railway branches by the left to Bourges and by the right to Limoges, we leave the Sologne and enter the valley of the Cher. We then are in the Berri which George Saud so loves to describe. The town of Vierzon itself was taken pillaged, and de stroyed by Richard Coeur de Lion, and again by the Black Prince. Indeed, from this point down to Limoges the country is filled with historical sou venirs of the period when the Kings of England were Dukes of Guyenne and Aquitaine and kir& of Limousin. Berri is also the seat of several very impor ant iron works, which at the present moment are suffering from the general depression of trade. From Argenton to Limoges the country is pictu resque, and well deserves the name of " La Petite Suisse," which is popularly given to it. The whole surface of the country is broken into hill and dale, and the fields separated one from the other by hedges which break the monotony of the landscape, although at the expense of the soil. In parts, although wild, the scene never wears the desolate Sologne. Rivers and mountain appearance of the streamlets leap down from rock to rock, and, sparkling in the sun, are led by a system of irriga tion to fertilise the hillsides and pasture lands of the district, as is practised in Lombardy. The chesnut now appears for the first time, and, however agreeable it may be to look upon, one , cannot help regretting that the inhabitants should be compelled to eat its fruit in lieu of bread. The cattle grazing are small, and have a Welsh or High land look ; and as the day advances the train draws near to Limoges, the ancient capital of the Limo vices, and the Stoke-upon-Trent of France. Unfortunately the weather has been most unpro pitious all day—a heavy sky, overcast from the morning, and a constant d r i zz li ng ra i n, wh i ch when it leaves off is replaced by a species of Scotch mist, more than sufficient to damp the enthusiasm of others than the Limousin. But neither rain, nor mist, nor bad roads could keep them away. They are now swarming in from all parts. All the hotels are filled by the local gentry and the authorities of the twelve departments. Prices of the most extravagant kind are asked, and there seems to be -a vague idea that the visit of the Prince is to be the occasion of many making fortunes. - I GUILDHALL. —Alfred Skeen and Archibald Freeman appeared upon a summons before Sir Peter Laurie, charged for that they, being em ployed as agents intrusted with a bill of lading of the value of 1,6001 , did unlawfully, without the autho• rity of their principal, and for their own benefit, deposit the same at the City Bank. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted, and Mr. Dupre watched the case for the defendants. Mr. Bodkin said that the charge was brought by a firm of high repute in the City, Messrs. Cavan Brothers, West India merchants, under the 4th and 6th of Victoria, cap. 39, sec. 6. The facts of the case were these :—ln April, or thereabouts, the prosecutors received an advice stating that there was a cargo of timber on its way to this country by the Glide. They gave the defendants authority to sell that cargo early in April, and on the 21st of that month a specification of the cargo was given to them, that they might make known they had such a cargo to sell when it arrived. On the lith of May the timber arrived, and on the 24th Mr. Freeman, the nephew, called for the bill of lading for the purpose of lodging at the docks. It was given to him without suspicion, and in a short time it was brought back with a message that it was of no use until it was endorsed. That rather excited suspicion, because it did not require to be endorsed for lodging at the docks, but having confidence in their brokers, Mr. Ballard, the clerk, signed the bill of ladieg, and handed.. it over to the defendant's clerk: Theyheard nothing more about it until the defendants stopped payment in the month of June, when it *as found that the bill of lading had b en taken on the 26th to the City Bank, and lodged there as security for. a large sum of money. When the stoppage took place they were indebted to the City Bank to the amount of 10,0001. Mr. Skeen was then applied to, and he made a sta'emeut which it would not be necessary to put in evidence, because all he stated could be proved by other persons. It appeared from the statement, that there were documents of other parties relating to goods that had been sold lying at the City Bank, and to release them this document was given. The bill of lading relates to goods to the value of 1,7001. Edward Ballard, shipping clerk to the house of James Cavan Brothers, 29, Finsburycircus, India merchants, proved delivering the bill 'of lading to Mr. J. Freeman. Joshua Freeman said, I live at 5, Bath-buildings, De Beauvoir-town, Kingsland. I was clerk to the defendants and nephew to Mr. Freeman. I remem ber going to Cavan and Co., and obtaining from the last witness the bill of lading produced. Shortly before I went I had been directed by Mr. Freeman to apply for it. We had securities lodged at the City Bank for advances made on goods of our own that came by the Laura Campbell. Some of these goods were sold, and it became necessary to deliver them, as the customers were clamorous for them. Mr. Freeman was aware of the fact, as others and myself had mentioned it to him. Mr. Freeman was at this time at home ill, and Mr. Skeen was attending to the business. I had not any conver sation with Mr. Skeen on the subject of the bill of lading up to the time that m uncle gave me orders to go and a pply f or it. My y uncle gave me the order to get the bill of lading at his house in Oakley-terrace, Soutbgate-road, but he gave me no instructions what to do with it. I received the bill of lading in the first instance from Mr. Bal lard. It was at that time unendorsed. When I left Mr. Ballard I went to the defendants' counting house, but neither of them was there. Perceiving that the bill was not endorsed I took it back to Mr. Ballard, and he endorsed it. I bad no instructions to do so. It was necessary to have the bill of lad ing endorsed when it was put into our hands, but it was not necessary for the sake of selling the timber. On the day after receiving the bill of lading I went to see my uncle on other matters, and he told me to bring him up the bill of lading. I went for it, and the morning afterwaree, he en dorsed it with the words, "Skeen and Freeman," but the words written over it were not their writing at all. My uncle then remarked that it was a very awkward affair about the Laura Campbell, as the people were clamorous for their orders. He said, " Suppose I lodge this bill of lading temporarily for a few days at the City Bank, in lieu of the docu ments relating to the cargo (Abe Laura Campbell, for I expect to be in funds tiluu t.) release it." Having endorsed the bill of lading he enclosed itr in a letter to Mr. White, the manager of the City Bank, asking him to take it in liett of a portion of cedar brought by the Laura Campbell. I took:the letter to Mr. White on the 26th, and that gentle man opened it in my presence. He read the letter, and told me to call again, as he must consult the directors. He kept the bill of lading. Mr. White, the manager of the City Bank, said —The defendant's kept an account at our house. The bank has made them advances to the amount of near 10,0001. on dock warrants and othersecl;i- ties. The value of the dock warrants was about 5,0001., and amongst them were dock warrants re lating to the Laura Campbell. One of them was 264 logs of cedar. I know the defendants were timber brokers alone. I did not know them as anything else. I remember the last witness coming to me with a letter ou the 26th of May. The endorse ment, " Deliver to John Scott or order," is the handwriting of Mr. Scott, our security clerk, and was written after the bill came into our possession. I saw Mr. Skeen on the subject on the afternoon of the 26th, and told him they could not part wi►h the cedarlunless he would agree to hand the proceeds over to them within a mouth, and leave the bill of lading as a collateral security until they had done so. Ido not remember Mr. Skeen saying he was very avers© to the transaction altogether, for that the timber did not belong to them. After some discussion a letter was written, containing the terms upon which we would consent to the proposal he made, aryl he took it away, and the next day returned it signed. Mr. Skeen said to me after the failure that he was ►ery sorry the bill was ever lodged with them. The bill of lading was lodged at the docks the same day. Mr. Hayward, olerk at , the East and West India Dockhouse, Billiter-square, produced the bill of lading for the 153 logs of timber, by the Glide, from Demerara. At was lodged with them, with the present endorsement, on the 26th May. Mr. Bodkin then applied to have the defendants committed for trial on this evidence. Mr. Skeen then put in a paper denying that he had over seen the bill of lading referred to until it had been produced in court that day. He also made a statement to the effect that Mr. White was not quite accurate in all he had stated. Mr. Dupre applied to have Mr. Skeen dis charged, as he had not been an active party in the transaction. Mr. Bodkin objected, as he had come in at a subsequent stage of the proceedings, and adopted his partner's acts. The defendants were then fully committed for trial, but admitted to bail—themselves in 1,0001. each, and two sureties each of 5001. The sureties were put in, and the defendants left the court. BOW-STREET. —Joseph Sanderson, of 19, New Bond-street, tailor, attended to receive the judg ment of the court in reference to the charge of having addressed indecent language to two little girls, the children of respectable parents, in St. James's-park. Mr. Davies, from the office of the solicitor to the Board of Works, stated that, at the suggestion of his worship, the opinion of an eminent criminal lawyer had been taken upon the question as to whe ther the present charge constituted an indictable offence, and the result confirmed the impression already formed by his worship that it was not. Mr. Lewis hoped his worship would bear in mind the excellence of his client's character, and the dis crepancies which he had pointed out at the last ex amination in support of his argument that the wit nesses were mistaken as to the identity of the defendant, who was clearly shown to have been in his brother's shop at the time of the alleged occur rence. Doubtless Mr. Sanderson had walked into the park for a few minutes, but this was nearly half an hour after the time stated by the park keeper. If his worship had any doubt on these points, it was due to the defendant that he should have the benefit of it. Mr. J irdine said—l have no doubt whatever that the filthy language described by these children was mei, and used by the prisoner. The case ; beieg thus proved to my satisfaction, I can inflict no penalty upon bite compared with the total loss of character which the conviction of such an offence as this—an off, nee which I will not trust myself to describe—must entail upon him. I fine him 405., and if he does not pay it I commit him for one month. • The fine was instantly paid. POST OFFICE ORTHOGRAPHY.—A handsome zinc plate with beautitully coloured letters, has recently been placed over one of the receiving boxes at the Charing cross branch of the General Post-office, informing those whom the information may concern, that that is the place intended for letters for delivery in the '!

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. - The East India Company's troop-ship Prince of Wales, Consitt, commander, 125 days from Calcutta, arrived at Gravesend on Monday afternoon, with sick and wounded troops from India. Her dates are—Calcutta, March 12 ; Sandh ea d s , M arc h 15 ; St. Helena, April 30. The number of invalid troops who embarked in the Prince of Wales was 99 men of all ranks, belonging to the sth (Fusiliers), 19th, 23d (Royal Welsh Fusiliers), 29th, 34th, 37th, 38th, 42d (Royal Highlanders), 53d, 54th, 64th, 75th, 78th (Highlanders), 82d, 93d (Sutherlandshire Highlanders) ' and the Rifle Brigade. )apt. Thos. Manbray, 53d Regiment, had the command of the troops, and Capt. B. Walton and Capt. J. W. Cor field, 53d Regiment, came home as passen g ers. During the voyage ei g ht d ea th s occurre d on b oard —viz., one man of the 29th, two of the 34th, one of the 38th, one of the 53d, one of the 64th, one of the iSth Highlanders, and one of the 93,1 llioh lenders. A large number of the invalid tr° a, suffering from wounds received during ther= ro r of Lucknow under Sir Cohn Campbell, in which ilia men of the sth, 23d, 53d, and 93d were engaged. On the landing of the invalids at Gravesend they were immediately conveyed to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham. Among the most serious of the cases taken into hospital is that of Sergeant Devereux, of the 53d, who was shot through the lower part of the back, from which two pieces of bone have been extracted ' • he is, however, recovering. Private Gleeson, of the 53d, who was at Lucknow, lost his leg from being struck by a cannon ball, and Ser geant Thompson, of the same corps, was severely wounded in the right arm. On the conclusion of the inspection of the sick and wounded troops at Fort Pitt, those not requiring surgical treatment were forwarded to St. Mary's invalid depot, to await their discharge. The next vessel expected to reach England with invalid troops from Lucknow and Cawnpore is the Queen, which was embarking sick and wounded at Calcutta the date the Prince of Wales sailed. Rear-Admiral of the White Lord Edward Rus sell, C. 8., is appointed to succeed Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Montagu Stopford, K. C. 8., as Superin tendent of Malta Dockyard. Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., is offered the Flag Cap taincy to Rear-Admiral Fremantle as Commander in-Chief of the Channel Fleet. Should he not be able to accept the appointment it will be offered to Capt. Eke. The greatest activity prevails in Chatham garri son in order that the next contingent of reinforce ments who are to embark for India may be ac quainted with the use of the Enfield rifle previously to their embarking, and about 500 men belonging to the three battalions are being daily instructed in the use of the rifle by the several qualified in structors of musketry. Two companies of the Royal Marine Light In fantry were yesterday engaged in Woolwich Marsh at rifle practice ; and on Monday a troop of Royal Horse Artillery carried out a series of experiments, firing the newly-introduced diaphragm Shrapnell shells. The experiments in each case are reported to have been extremely satisfactory. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Racer, Com mander the Hon. T. A. Pakenbam, yesterday got in her guns, 11 in number, at Woolwich, and shipped her provisions and sea stock ; and the Archer, 13-gun steamship, commenced rigging ship. The steam store transport Dee, Mr. T. C. Pul len, commanding, yesterday commenced shipping boilers and steam gear at Woolwich for the steam frigate Bacchante, 51, and the Orlando, to be fitted out at Portsmouth and Plymouth. An order has been read at the Royal Marine Bar racks, Forton, in reference to the annual inspection of the Royal Marines, which took place on Monday last. In this order the Colonel-Commandant ex presses his satisfaction at making known to the division under his command that the appearance of the men on parade, theirappointments, &c., and the state of the interior economy of every department of the division elicited the marked approval of the Deputy-Adjutant-General. The steadiness of the Light Infantry corps under arms in the field, their correct marching, and the precision and accuracy of their movements received the highest commenda tion. The Osborne, Admiralty yacht, Master Com mander Bower, is ordered to proceed from Ports mouth to Woolwich to-morrow, to attend on the Lords of the Admiralty. The Fire Queen steam yacht, Master Commander W. F. Paul, went down to Osborne yesterday, with Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, and Colonel Foster, R.

St. J. de Robeck. edly Scriptural and orthodox, it may be Apostolic and primeval, but its bold on the affections of the country is founded on the conViction that it is thoroughly national. The great body of the edu cated classes will always secure their own commu nion against the utmost danger which may arise from puritanic declamations, followed by the applause of mob meetings.- For 'themselves they require neither a monotonou:s uniformity nor an affected consistency, justly considering that a belief to be sincerely held by millions must be various and elastic, and desiring that to the utmost extent of creeds and formulas the Church should practi cally tolerate all tolerable versions of its doctrine. There are some things, however, which exceed the licence of Anglican liberality ; nor will the laity endure a priesthood which habitually relies on the enthusiasm and credulity of women. The Bel gravian apologists of Confession prudently forget the question of sex when they vindicate the right of their penitents to receive priestly conso lation. There would not be the smallest need of popular agitation if men and women were equally in the habit of putting themselves Under a spiri tual director. When the clergy of the fashion able quarters can prove that a score of middle-aged gentlemen have been caught at the confessional, they will have proved, not that the practice is desirable or justifiable, but that it is not flagrantly inconsistent with the tastes of English men. Fathers of families want no protection for themselves ; they only require that their wives and daughters should profit 'by the same wise reserve which distin,guishes the English clergy in their in tercourse with their equals among the laity. The natural and graceful respect felt by women for those who are set apart for the service of religion must not be perverted into the means of an unwhole some influence over their minds. This was the true meaning of the protest at St. James's-hall, as well as of the demonstration in Sloane-street. The de- , tailed charges which have been -brought forward are important to the individuals whom they con cern, but as long as it is known that auricular con fession is encouraged in the Church no personal vindication will remove the general uneasiness. Mr. Poole says that his questions in relation to a breach of the Seventh Commandment were sug gested by the penitent herself, and asked at her request. It is not easy to understand how, under the circumstances, they couldbseymnepcteosmsarbye,foarnedhie it is absurd to suppose that a divine must - , like a phy sician, investigate the moral eevery minor disease. Wh en a canwo micaiail' prescribe nwhinovheastsi f been guilty of grave misconduct ap peared to repent of her error, the proper remedies and appliances might have been suggested without any further investigation. The Rubric, though it was composed for a simpler- and less sensitive so ciety, requires only a natural interpretation to adapt it to the circumstances of the present day. There is nothing to prevent a clergyman in Bel gravia or elsewhere from reproving, or encouraging, or counselling a parishioner who resorts to him in a state of mental perplexity. It is the elevation of confession into a ceremony or formal institution which has excited reasonable alarm. Tile ad vocates of the system play fast and loose with the charge when they treat the practice as an ex ceptional exercise of discretion. It is in their power to state whether they have fenced it round with rules and observances, or merely treated it as a delicate and confidential conversation. The stories of tapers, and darkened rooms, and prescribed genuflections may be exaggerated, but they are of the essence of the question, and they have never been cate gorically denied. The full-grown system is familiar to the most superficial contraversialists in the avowed discipline of the Church of Rome, and it is not surprising 'that Protestants should be jealous in watching the inchoate Confessional of St. Bar • nabas. Since experience has shown that penance may assume the dignity of a sacramen it is not unreasonable to ask whether it is to be latroduced as a distinct element into the practice of the English Church. Long waistcoats, outlandish sur touts, evanescent bands are but the vanities of ecclesiastical dandyism, and even the substitution of a drawling sing-song for articulate reading is irritating, rather than dangerous. None of these things have been developed into articles of faith or indispensable rules of discipline ; nor would Rome herself hesitate to put all her gewgaws and milli eery up to aetien if a fishing of austere simplicity were to :plead throUghout Christendom. But the supremacy of the priest over the conscience, through the instrumentality of the Confessional, is an indispensable element of the system which finally passed from England at the Reformation. In the absence of an infallible authority the deep conviction of the nation, from the highest rank to the lowest, is a more certain test of the true doc trine of the English Church than any scraps of forms or of Rubrics. The statesman who tried to work out all the logical results of the constitution, and to give substance to every established form, would bring the system to. a. dead lock, or reduce it to a proved absurdity. Divines who try similar experiments with their symbols and traditions will inevitably fall into similar confusion, unless they are warned in time by the protests, or even by the clamour, which may arise from a laity impatient of resuscitated paradoxes. FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A FEMALE, AND SUICIDE OF ME MURDERER. Yesterday the town of Gravesend was the scene of the utmost excitement, resulting from the com mission of a frightful murder, and the suicide of the murderer. As an introduction to the facts of this tragedy, it must be stated that, during the past ten days, a man, accompanied by a female who passed as his wife, had been lodging at the house of Mr. Henry Bean, the Royal Standard Beer shop, Terrace-street, Gravesend. The parties ap peared to be on the most amicsble terms with each other, and were in the habit of leaving the house daily for the purpose of going into the country to follow their calling, as hawkers of artificial flowers. On Monday evening, after partaking of supper, they retired to rest in their usual chamber, the landlord of the house (Mr. Bean) occupying the chamber adjacent. About five o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Bean was aroused by a scream, and a strange scratching noise at bis chamber door. He immediately jumped out of bed, when be perceived, on entering the passage, that the outside of the door of his chamber was stained with finger-marks of blood, and he then, in consequence of the direction from whence the screams proceeded, entered the adjacent chamber, when a' frightful scene presented itself. It appears that the woman had managed to get back to her own room, where she fell down in a pool o?'b'ood, whilst the man was apparently re clining on the side:of the bed, with his throat cut in a frightful manner. Mr. Bean perceiving the nature of the fea.rful tragedy, instantly gave an alarm, and sent for Dr. Russell, of the Terrace, who immediately attended, but found that his ser vices with regard to the woman were unavailing, as life was extinct. The attention of Dr. Russell was consequently directed to the man ; but the nature of the wound was such that he expired after lingering about 40 minutes. Mr. Superintendent White, of the Gravesend police, subsequently searched the room, and was enabled to find such documents as led him to proceed to London and communicate with the relatives of the unfortunate man ; and they immediately proceeded to Graves end. At the inquest the Jury returned a verdict " Tbat the deceased, Jane Moore, was wilfully murdered by John Knight, and that John Knight committed suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity."

THE CaIiFESSIONAL IN BELGRAVIA (From the Daily News.) There is, no mistake. It is the settled purpose of a vigorous party among us to establish and pro mote the practice of Confession to the Priest, by the influence and authority of the National Church. As long as, it was possible to think that the dispute of the Rev. Alfred Poole, curate of St. Barnaba., Pimlico, with the Bishop of London, might after all be founded on mutual misapprehensions, or be explained as one of those accidental collisions of authority which take place where duties and rights are loosely defined, we kept silence. But the cor respondence which has now transpired, and which we produce elsewhere, removes all doubt, and places the conduct both of the bishop and the curate in the clearest light. It is no longer the question how much credit is due to the inculpatory gossip of a knot of loose women. The bishop bas proceeded on broader and firmer grounds. He does not impeach the motives of Mr. Poole'; on the contrary, be gives his most valuable testimony to the goodness of that gentleman's intentions. But he takes Mr. Poole's admissions as to his own practice—admissions which recur in the published letters—and he says :---" By them I" am led to regard the course you are in the habit of pursuing with reference to confession as likely to cause scandal and injury to the C4urch. I feel especially that this questioning of females on the subject of violations of the Seventh Commandment is of dan gerous tendency, and I am convinced, generally, that the sort of systematic admission of your people to confession and absolution, which you have al lowed to be your practice, ought not to take place." This would have been sufficiently explicit for most people. Not so, however, for Mr. Poole. He wants to know just how far he may go in the forbidden path without forfeit ing his position. He recurs to his interviews with the Bishop, and tries to recall the special in stances respeCting which he has given information. In his letter of May 15 he refines on the Bishop's words, asks what particular practice is referred to, and nevertheless is compelled to acknowledge not only that be had been in the habit of receiving his people to confession, buttliat in his secret interviews with the femaleomembers of his flock, he had put those very minute questions respecting violations of a particular commandment which the Bishop had signalised as dangerous, and calculated to cause scandal in the Church. Even while complaining of his diocesan for describing his admission of the people of St. Barnabas to confession as systematic, he owns that he has taught them to regard his questionings and his absolution as the way to peace pointed out by the Church of England ; and he justifies his inquisitorial practices by a permis sion given somewhere in the Prayer-book to the afflicted to " open their griefs ;" as if advice to an householder to open his door were quoted to justify some one in the streetinpicking thelock. But time is wasted in pursuing these vain quibbles. Every body knows to what, according to the principles of our common nature, practices like those of Mr. Poole must inevitably lead. Indeed, that gentle man saysin one of his letters—" I admit that when persons, male or female, have sought ray ministry in confession, I have put to them such questions as have been suggested by the matter confessed, which have appeared to me necessary in order to enable me to give the counsel and advice which the case required." Ilabenius confitentem return. After the first confession such questions will be expected, their subject will therefore be mentally dwelt on ; the interview follows, quickening thought and filling the imagination, and thus the whole mind receives a downward direction. According to the Rev. W. Gresley, one of the leaders of the party with which Mr. Poole acts, " the very shame of the avowal and confession made is a part of the contrition and the cure." That procedure, then, will be observed in the confessional which is most likely to kindle shame. The heart sickens and refus-s to f How out in thought the emsequsnsos of a principle Ito reveltisg. - The pra4sice of coofession to the priest at St. Barnabas is avowed, defended, justified, and the Bishop by whose authority the confessor has minis tered for seven years, whose licence he has held, who is responsible for his conduct and the ten- , dency of his teaching, would have failed egregiously if he had lost any time in putting a stop to prac tices which, whatever else may be said of them, would be fatal to the Church of which he is an officer. He has interposed firmly, but temperately, patiently, and in a spirit of paternal kindness, amounting almost to indulgence, which must exalt his reputation and increase his influence for good, not only in his diocese but throught the kingdom. He has set his mark plainly not only on the prac tice of secretly questioning woman on subjects from which modesty shrinks, but on the systematic praa tics of confession to whomsoever applied. That it might be seen that this was no mere per sonal question, Mr. Poop's local superior, the Rev. Mr. Liddell, had appliel to the bishop, praying that he might be substituted for his curate in any proceedings that were taken. The bishop, however, preferred to deal with fie case as it came before him, and the revocation of Mr. Poole's license was the result. An appeal from this decision to the Archbishop of the province was the next step, and we now learn its fate. The Archbishop upholds the judgment of Dr. Tait, and says that Mr. Poole must no longer minister in the church of St. .Barnabae. It is well that he has done so, be cause had he done otherwise people would have been likely to inquire what was the use of a Chief Shepherd too feeble or teo irresolute to defend the flock from noisome intruders 7 But Mr. Poole and his friends would greatly err if they were to sup bearings.o or, ivionight is only posa that th e i r d efeat is a temporary reverse, due to the personal t en d enoie: of a particular couple of eday prelates. They may depend on it that the Eng lish people th oroug h ly understand the Confes sionalhel in i ts p practical great meeting din Sloane -street a spiscimen of manifest a ti onswhi C h would be repeated i n every town in England, were there the least chance that secret confession tee the priest would become a prevalent practice in the Church of Eng land. In this country, happily, the fullest liberty is accorded to the professor; of every form of reli gion. But when the minitters of a national and heavily endowed Church isk that they may unite the immunity and license of the voluntary com munions with the prerogatives and privileges of their own position, they riquire that which will certainly not be granted. Whatever Deans of Arches and OffiAal Plituipals may decide, the people of this country will rot tolerate the Confes sional in our Reformed Protestant Chorch. They well comprehend the system of which the practices at the church of St. Barnabas are the expression. They are resolved that the mental peace of their wives and daughters shall not be held at the plea sure of the Priest, nor their purity of mind lie at the mercy of a set of men who have on their tongues a thousand ready-made questions whi c h have accumulated through centuries devoted to the analysis of pollution, and who have charged their memories with monstrous cases to qualify them selves for this fearful business. T he life of the Family is too sacred acid mysterious to be aban doned to unsyinpathising livisectors, trained to probe souls, apt to worm out secrets, proud of their skill to break hearts and to heal, to kill and to make alive ; men not afraid to interfere between those whom a divine ordinance has made one—bccause they address only the weaker party. We know their zeal, their numbers; their restlessness : we shall soon hear of them agaOr, but let them beware, for, with only an outworn dogma to support them, and condemned by the grad body of earnest Chris tians throughout the land, they have entered into conflict with some of the doepest, strongest, holiest passions that can inflame the human breast. (From tht Times.) An open-air meeting on a question o f ecclesi astical discipline is not likely to be disti ngu i s h e d b y judicial impartiality or by profound th eo l o gical research. Some hundieds of zealous P ro t e stants assembled the other day in Chelsea to denounce the system of Confession, which has justly alarmed the neighbourhood, with the collateral object of promoting a subscriptiot for the zeal ous Church warden, Mr. Wester . on. The statements and arguments brought forward at the meeting were open to exception, yet it would be unwise in the leaders of the English clergy to disregard popular manifestations because they may display an illogical mode of reasoning, or even a spirit of persecution. It is perfectly true tha faith and co nsc i ence are independent of popularity, and that one of the chief uses of au establishuiejt consists in the intellectual independence which it secures to the clergy; but the Church of England can only retain its position through a general conformity to the feelings and COATiOtiQnS Of OW nation.
