There has been an increased demand for money Ting the last day or two, and the activity dis tjhedin the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mar as, no doubt, contributed an influence. Larg e e speculative transactions have been e ntered into m most of the leading staples, and the demand fur home consumption has also been active. The public sales of tea have gone off steadily, but prices have exhibited little alteration. Sugars of the finer qualities, have been in demand, 3t 2 1 u an advance of 6d. to ls. per cwt. ha s been est ablished.

A little heaviness has been apparent in the market II for Public Securities to-day, but this can excite no surprise, after the late buoyancy.

THE WEAVING TRADE.—We are gratified to be able to state that the industrious inhabitants of Paisley are again fully employed, and that in consequence of the intro duction of a new style of shawls and other branches of ma nufacture, the Paisley weavers will now be enabled to earn something like adequate wages. These new shawls are called reversibles," a fabric with two warps ; and the shawl, when finished either in wool or a mixture of cotton and wool, shows a different pattern on either side. We learn that these goods are really very splendid, and likely to be in great demand for the London market. The weaver is paid from 2s. to 2s. 4d. per shawl, and a good hand will finish from 10 to a dozen per week.—North British Daily Mail. LARGE FISFI.—On Saturday evening, while a party of Paisley gentlemen were out in a boat fishing in Litulash Bay, one of them caught a monstrous halibut on his line. Scarcely expecting to hook anythiog larger than a haddock, the lucky gentleman was amazed at the strong pull aga i n st which be had to contend in ie hauling u takinp his fi the sh, was exp and considerable diffic ult y ger monster on board. The fish when weighed was to be 5211 b., an d it measured about five feet in length, and found was of Corresponding breadth.

Mr. Sergeant Petersdorff then addressed the jury on the evidence adducedion the part of Mr. Ruck. Ile said, if be were only to consult the interests of h is client, he thought he might, with perfect safety, leave the case as it stood at the present moment; but he thought it was a duty he owed to the eminent medical men who had been examined, and who had testified to the perfect sanity of Mr. Ruck, to ad dress a few observations to them. In the exercise of his undoubted right, in summing up the evidence he would com mence by adverting to that given by Dr. Stillwell. The most important point in that evidence was that relating to the " case-book," a book kept for the protection of the unfortunate inmates of private asylums, and the guidance of the Commissioners in Lunacy ; and what would be the eked, supposing the entries were not correctly made? Why, instead of being what the law intended, it would be the means of securely keeping those unhappy persons pri soners for life. Now, the entry made in the book with re- spect to Mr. Ruck was, in the first place, that his insanity was hereditary, but how far that assertion was correct, he would leave with confidence to the decision of the jury. Then, again, it was stated that Mr. Ruck had locked up his wife's sister, and had attempted to shoot her, but such an assertion was not supported by one tittle of evidence, and the only authority that Dr. Stillwell had for such an entry in the case-book was the statement of Mr. Barnet. During the 10 months that the alleged lunatic bad been in confinement, everything had been done to irritate, and nothing to soothe him. The medical men who had been called in to see him had only put questions as, when answered, carried out their peculiar ideas, and not one of them attempted to ascertain whether a recovery was to be expected in a short period, but had, it appeared, all arrived at a settled conclusion that Mr. Ruck was a hopeless lunatic. He now came to the part Mr. Wainwright had taken in this case, and he contended that the whole of the proceedings of that gentleman were dictated by the purest friendship and disinterestedness. The advice he had given to Mr. Ruck to abstain making statements except in the presence of his legal advisers was most proper, for had he not pursued that course, statements, no doubt, would have been made before the agents of the petitioners which would have been used with tenfold force against himself. lie (Sergeant Peters dorff) thought that the lunacy which had for a short time attacked Mr. Ruck was entirely to be attributed to intem perance ; and the evidence of Drs. Copeland, Tuke, John son, Skey, Lawrence, and the rest of the gentlemen ex amined on the part of his client, clearly proved that the most easily-cured cases of insanity were those occasioned by intoxication. The learned sergeant then reminded the jury of the responsibility that devolved upon them, and resumed his seat by stating that he felt confident that the result of the investigation would be to restore Mr. Ruck to liberty and his proper station in society. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., in replying on the whole of the case, said that in the arguments used by the learned gen tlemen, the counsel for Mr. Ruck, they had sedulously avoided discussing the facts of the case, and had confined themselves to statements which could neither govern nor guide the judgment of the jury. They had contended that this investigation was an attack on private lunatic asylums, but he (Mr. Chambers) thought the jury would clearly see that such was not the case. This long inquiry had not been instituted to investigate the management of such establishments, but to ascertain the state of mind of Mr. Ruck. That was the single point at issue, and the jury bad nothing to do with the vague generalities which occupied nine-tenths of the addresses of his friends on the other side. He thought that Dr. Stillwell, a young and rising medical gentleman, had been treated with great cruelty in order that the jury might be misled. He had been accused of treating his patients with great cruelty, but he felt bound to say that, from what he had seen, and from what he bad been told, in no similar establishment was greater freedom and kindness ex ercised towards the unfortunate inmates than in that kept by Dr. Stillwell. The conduct of the wife of Mr. Ruck bad been very severely commented on by the counsel for the husband, but he contended that the whole of the conduct of that lady, miserable as she had been made by the present proceedings, had been marked by the greatest tenderness and affection. She had done everything possible to secure the recovery of her husband, and for that she had been misrepresented and calumniated. The learned gentleman then proceeded to refer to the con duct of Mr. Ruck in 1855-56, when it had been proved he was in the habit of getting up in the middle of the night, ordering the groom to put the horses to the carriage, and then directing him to drive up and down the open country, of making indelicate proposals to his domestics, and various other things equally strange, which a man possessed of his sober senses would never have been guilty of. The learned gentleman, having gone through the whole of the medical evidence offered to prove the sanity of Mr. Ruck, contended it had utterly failed to establish that fact ; but, on the contrary, had clearly shown that it would be unsafe to allow that gentleman the free and uncontrolled use of his liberty. Commissioner Winslow then summed up the evidence, and, having explained the law with respect to lunacy, said it now devolved upon the jury to say whether Mr. Ruck was a person of sound or unsound mind. At the conclusion of the summing up several of the jurors put questions to Mr. Ruck, in answer to which he stated that he believed he laboured under delusions with respect to his wife, but that they had all disappeared and had been founded on groundless suspicions. With respect to the assertion attributed to him that Mr. Wainwright had been forced upon him, he simply denied ever having uttered it. A juror—Did it lot occur to you that on the removal of your delusions the first person you communicated with should have been your wife ? Mr. Ruck—l should have done so had she not instituted these proceedings. The jury then, at twenty-five minutes past three, retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour returned into court, and the Foreman announced that they were of opinion that Mr. Ruck was of sound mind and quite capable of managing his own affairs. The announcement was received with loud applause. During the deliberation of the jury, Mr. Ruck remained in the hall, and laughed and chattered with his counsel in the most familiar manner ; indeed, throughout the whole of the protracted inquiry he has exhibited the most perfect confidence in the successful result of the proceedings. We understand the jury were divided in opinion as to their v erdict. Twelve were for a v erdict of sound mind, and the remaining six fur one unsound mind. x in FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.—On Sunday afternoon last, a man named William Stephens, cattle dealer, died at Gretton, from the effects of a pistol-shot received on Thurs day last. In the course of the latter day the deceased, in company with Mr. John Hale, of Gretton, was amusing himself by firing at a mark, there being some friendly rivalry between the parties as to their skill in pistol practice. Unfortunately, however, a quarrel arose, and Hale attempted to wrest the pistol, which was loaded with ball, from Stephens, and in the course of the struggle that ensued its contents were by accident discharged into de ceased's stomach. He was at once removed, and had prompt medical attention, but, as already stated, he expired en Sunday last.—Cheltenham Examiner. ExTENSIVE FIRE AT THE Bow WORKS OF THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—This morning, shortly after 4 o'clock, a very destructive fire took place at the locomo tive and carriage works of the North London Railway Company's works at Bow. The fire originated in a long range of brick buildings which stood close to the up line of c omprising carriage building, repairing, rails of the incline, painters' smiths', and various other:workshops. The alarm pt . ilice stationed outside the building per was raised by the ceiving smoke issuing from the roof. Before an entry could be made the flames had obtained. a powerful hold of the south end of the building. The tele graph office at the station being closed, the police were prevented from at once communicating with the fire brigade in London; a messenger had to be despatched to London on horseback to the various stations of the brigade, and it was owing . to this circumstance that delay was occa sioned in the arrival of the engines. During this time the flames extended with fearful impetuosity, and before the engines arrived the whole range of buildings was nearly consumed. When the firemen got to work their exertions were directed to the preservation of the main (locomotive) building, which was filled with engines, and which, for so me time, wa s placed in great peril. By the strenuous ex ertions of all parties, this valuable portion of the establish ment was saved, but not before a large number of the west windows were shattered by the intense heat. By 7 o'clock the conflagration was got under, but not until the wol of the range of buildings, two stories in heighht,e in which the fire commenced, was totally consumed. The walls fell on the line, and far a time interrupted the traffic, but gangs of labourers were speedily put to work, , under the direction of Mr. King, one of the superintendents of the company, and the rails were soon cleared, and the trains in the coursa of the morning ran as usual. The loss of property will amount t) several thousands. On the lower floor o f the buildicg were several carriages, which were totally consumed, together with a quantity of ma chinery.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF DETAINING A LETTER.— - THE LANDLADY AND HER COOK.—A day or two sir.ee Mrs. Hunt, landlady of the well-k nown h ous e of enterV4in meut, the Spread Eagle of Epsem, was called before the magistrates for the county of Surrey, charged with ha vieg detained a letter directed to her cook, one Emma at ker. Upon being ca lled upon to give h er re ason for Fo unwise and unfavourable a proceeding, Mrs. Hunt said the - letter contained language unfit for the gaze of any respect. 'Able female. Miss Baker, highly indignant at this impute .lion upon the morality of her correspondent, insisted tba• t the epistle should be read. The clerk having read it, , pro nounced it a document of an entirely opposite chi aacter. The letter was then given np. The magistrates cov i nvented most severely upon Mrs. Hunt's conduct, and info emed her that she was liable toe severe penalty, which won) d not now be inflicted, as the cook was satisfied wittaer h tter. This little incident has quite enlivened the quiet tovp o f Eroin, CITY SHERIFFS' COUCT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE VALUE OF AN I 0 IT.-WELLER A)ID ANOTHER V. IeMILLEN. Mr. Nash, for the plaintiffs, stated that they were execu tors to a person named Squires, amongst whose effects were found an I 0 U for £4 10s., signed by defendant. Upon being applied to for the money, defendant averred that he had paid the debt, but as no account could be found in plaintiff's' books, or any endorsement on the back of the I 0 U, plaintiffs proceeded for the amount. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchanan's, of Basinghall-street) stated that from time to time various sums had been paid by defendant to the deceased, and that in the presence of wit nesses. Accordingly he called several witnesses, who swore to the amount having been paid. Mr. Nash said he would consent to a nonsuit. Mr. Perry could not understand how Mr. Nash could move for a nonsuit in the face of such evidence, and his Honour found for defendant. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN CIVIL LAW.-LEWIN T. EMERSON. In this case, plaintiff, a cook, sought to recover the sum of £slos. money lent to defendant's wife. Mr. Perry, fur defendant, examined plaintiff at consider able length as to the fact of the money having been lent with defendant's knowledge. Plaintiff said that Mr. Emer son was well aware that the money had been lent for an oc ca4on, and said, "I think it's about 505." Defendant's wife had left him. Mr. Perry said defendant allowed his wife ;Ms. per week, and she had no reason to borrow the money. If plaintiff would produce any document of authenticity, defendant would pay. Upon this plaintiff produced a book, in which were various entries made, as plaintiff alleged, at the several times she lent the money. The book was a ge neral memorandum book. Upon looking at it, his Honour said that it was a circumstantial document. Mr. Perry then called defendant, who said that the money had not been lent with his knowledge. He did not say that if plaintiff produced any acknowledgment he would pay. His Honour thought plaintiff had told a feasible story, backed by circumstantial documentary evidence, and he should give his verdict for the amount. POLICE IiVTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —BASE INGRATITUDE. —STEALING A GOLD WATCH. — Alfred Minchley, a grocer, of 9, Bedford-terrace, Borough, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £l2, the property of Mr. Thomas Letchford, coffee-house keeper, 37, High-street, St. Giles's. Mr. Letchford said the prisoner came to lodge with him about three months ago, and, after stopping with him about six weeks, he left to go to a situation in the Borough. Yes terday fortnight, on getting up ire the morning, having given the prisoner permission to sleep on a couch in his bedroom, be missed the watch and chain, the prisoner having got up very early and left. Previous to going to bed he had locked the watch and chain up in his secretaire, and left the key on the table. James Buckingham, 141 F, proved taking the prisoner into custody at Uaion-row, Borough. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it. On searching the prisoner he found on him three duplicates, one of which related to the watch and chain, which the prisoner afterwards admitted to him he had pawned for £3 10s. A person was in attendance from the pawnbrokers', who said he could not identify the prisoner, but it was paw ne'i by a man who gave the name of " Letchford." In defence the prisoner said he and the prosecutor had been drinking together, and on retiring at night he assisted in undressing the prosecutor, and took off his watch and c h a in, which he put round his (prisoners) own neck, and on g oing away in the morning he forgot to leave it. The prosecutor denied the truth of this assertion. He had been very kind to prisoner. Mr. Bingham—How came you to pawn it then ? Prisoner said he did not like to take it back. Mr. Bingham having characterised it as a heartless and audacious robbery, committed the prisoner for four months. THAMES.—BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.— Thomas Lovesey, a boy aged 15 years, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing four cotton handkerchiefs, a silk hand kerchief, a pair of trousers, and other property, from the pre mises of Mr. William Harman, outfitter, in Emmett-street, Poplar. Mr. Harman said his premises were burglariously entered a few nights ago, and coins and other property to the value of /20 stolen. Some of the coins had been since traced to a man who called himself Henry Phelps, and a woman named Ann Dunn, with whom be cohabited. The magistrate had remanded Phelps and Dunn until next Tuesday, and there was not any doubt but that the charge of burglary could be brought home to them. When the notpersons now under remand were apprehended, he couldhelp being struck with the resemblance of the man Phelps to the boy now in the dock, who was formerly in the employ of witness, as messenger and general servant. He went streetto the dwelling of the prisoner yesterday, at No. 43, Fore-, Limehouse, and there discovered in a box, which belonged to the prisoner's brother, Phelps, a pair of doe-skin trousers, four cotton handkerchiefs, a silk handkerchief, and a bouk, the title of which was " The Life of of the se Dukengs of Wellington." He had not missed any tho thi previously. Mr. Selfe—You say that the man Phelps, whom I have remanded, is the brother of the prisoner ? Mr. Harman—He is, sir. This boy owned to having taken the cotton handkerchiefs, one at a time, and to have given them to another brother, not the one in custody. Pullen, a police-constable, said that the prisoner told him he had not seen Isis brother, who had given the name of Phelps, for 10 weeks. He could prove that the prisoner had seen his brother a day or two before his apprehension. The prisoner, in his defence, said be did take a taw cotton handkerchiefs while he was in the service of Mr. Harman, but nothing else. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next, when his brother and the woman Dunn will be again brought up on a charge of burglary. THIS DAYS MARKETS. MARK-LANE.

PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. MANIFESTO OF ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS. Under the regime of Dr. Cullen a new and dangerous class of opponents of the system of national education in Ireland has sprung into existence. This party, which consists of a large proportion of the Roman Catholic bishops of Ire land, declares its intention to be content with nothing less than a separate educational grant, and however unpleasant it may be to record the fact, it is yet true that the adherents of this school are increasing in number. Every one acquainted with the history of the national education question in Ireland is aware that Dr. Mac Hale and the clergy of his archdiocese never gave the system their willing adhesion; but during the life of the late Dr. Murray their extreme'yiews were overborne at the Court of Rome by the more liberal representations of that prelate. It is suffi ciently well known that with the advent of Dr. Cullen ultramontane principles came into the ascendant, and the sentiments of Dr. Mac Hale on education consequently re ceived a stamp and authority which they had never previ ously enjoyed. It is now positive that the Sacred College in clines to the claim for an exclusive grant,andit is conjectured that the visit of Dr.Wiseman to Ireland may be in some man ner connected with the formal agitation on this point which the document about to be quoted seems to be meant to in augurate. The western bishops have met under the chair manship of Dr. Mac Hale, and agreed upon a manifesto which again repudiates the Queen's Colleges, and uses the strongest language regarding the present system of national instruc tion. Already have the efforts of those dignitaries done much to render the Galway Queen's College a failure, and it is somewhat characteristic of the policy of the Roman Catholic ultra clerical party to find them thus re tarding the national progress of this town, and the west generally, at a time when the tide of fortune seems to have turned in favour of that part of Ire land. In the document referred to they go further than usual, in their censures of the Queen's Colleges, for they de nounce such Roman Catholics as have thought it consistent with their faith to patronise these institutions. Imprimis, the spirit of their manifesto may be judged by the following sentence : " We further solemnly declare that no system short of an unqualified separate education for our flocks shall ever satisfy us ; and in order to succeed in obtaining it without delay, we request again of our people to use all constitu tional means in pressing their rightful claims, in every form of petition and remonstrance, on the Government and Legislature." - - fathers evinced such heroic fortitude, with the sword im pending over them, what are we not to hope from you in far more favourable circumstances, strong in the conviction of the victories already won over intolerance by a peaceful use of those legitimate and constitutional weapons which even the laws of your country put into your hands? If you wield those weapons as 'become good Christians, good citizens, and faithful subjects, with firmness, wisdom, and mo d era tion, you must obtain not only the justice f not being forced from your dwellings for not sacrificing the faith of your children, but you will even share in the public funds that are granted for education, to which you are entitled by your numbers, by your contributions in taxes to the Exchequer, :and by your fidelity in co-operating in every way to the defence of the State and the sustainment of all its burdens. We now further solemnly declare that no system short of an unqualified se p arate education for our flocks shall ever satisfy us; and in crder to succeed in obtaining it without delay, we request again of our belo%ed people to use all constitutional means in pressing their rightful claims, in every form of petition and remonstrance, On the Government and Legislature ; nor shall we be want ing in lending every aid in our pawer to them and their clergy in the furtherance of this complete liberty of educa tion, so essential to the full discharge of our episcopal duties, and to the complete freedom of the Catholic Church.

This is the main idea which wriggles through a column o. verbosity, the smartest passages of which bear unmistak able evidence of Dr. Mac Hale's pen. The more significant of those are subjoined : " Of the undisguised hostility of Protestant Governments to pure Catholic education, there is abundant evidence in all the projects for educating the the youth of Ireland, even in the least noxious, from the time of the foundation of the Charter Schools to the present day. With those that have passed away, leaving no trace of their existence save the memory of their bigotry and of the fidelity of the people whom they failed to seduce, we have now no concern. Our business is with those that exist at the present moment, some of which have been merely tolerated without any for mal approval, and watched with jealousy, and others so un disguised in their obvious tendency to evil that they have been visited with the condemnation of the Church. Of the former kind is the national system, a denomination of such large and equivocal meaning, comprehending schools of such various complexions, that one cannot know or define it, ex cept by that negative character of excluding all precise or dogmatic religious instruction during ordinary school hours, and then allowing all the varieties of doctrine that ever dis figured Christianity to nestle under its shade. " It is no wonder if a system so flexible to such a latitude of interpretation, and to such a practical difference in its management, would have from its origin excited the alarm of Catholics, especially considering the composition of the board, with a preponderance of Protestant interests, and with so disproportionate a share of Catholic influence, but especially with the extraordinary powers over books and teachers which, without any reference to the authority of the local pastors, the commissioners had assumed. Accord ingly it met at an early period such opposition as any ex periments that may prove dangerous to the faith must ever encounter in Ireland ; so that it was submitted to the judgment of the Holy See. Its dangers in its original state may be fully inferred from this fact, that after a pro tracted term for consideration the Holy See impressed on the Catholic bishops the advantage of having the pro perty of the schools vested in themselves or in the parish priests, and advised them to labour to obtain a better state of things from the Government; and it further re commended to the bishops of Ireland to take this im portant subject into their consideration in their Provincial Synods. But, far from obtaining any of the improvements required by the Holy Father, in the security of the property or mitigation of the other evils and dangers to which he pointed, the system has become since so patently fraught with danger, and its agents at the centre and throughout the country seem so confident in the powers they derive from the board as to set at nought the authority of the Catholic bishops and clergy, which, at the earlier and more precarious stage of its existence, they so assiduously courted for its support. The incidents that illustrate this extraor dinary change, and warn against the growing evils of so vague and ao unfixed a system, are too many to be here enumerated. Suffice it to observe, that they have led to the I , formidable dangers that have been already felt in the esta blishment of the Queen's Colleges and Model Schools—the congenial offshoots of the same system of national education. We may find, and it is true there are, some practical differ ences between the parent and the offspring, in the lesser amount of danger to which children frequenting the ordi nary national schools are exposed. But that diminished danger is owing entirely to the zeal of the clergy and the piety of the parents of the children, for which we are not beholden to the National Board, since the system when left to its simple and unqualified agency naturally produces such reprobated institutions as those of the Queen's Col leges and model schools, the latter of which have been erected in Ireland, nay, are still attempted to be further erected, in our own province, in direct opposition to the bishops' authority. Had these model schools been founded by any other agency different from the National Board, then these evils should not be directly imputed to it, as an aggravation of the religious difference of which the system is productive. But when we find that the model schools are as much the creatures of that body as the smallest rural national school in the kingdom, nay still more, being exclusively under their control and management, we are at. a loss to conceive that any confidence can be placed in a body which so avowedly and so wickedly sets the authority of the Catholic clergy and their bishops at defiance. We are still at a greater loss to know of what avail are its Catholic members in checking the evils of the system, when they are, it appears, either unwilling or unable to resist such unhallowed encroachments on the right of the episcopacy to guard t h e reli g ion of the youth intrusted to their care. Relying too m uch on the policy, if not the good faith, of the board, we have been latterly for bearing, as long as there was hope that the literary progress of our youth, which has been always the study o h to forward and encourage, could be combined w e ith the safety of their religion. In our anxiety to satisfy the thirst for knowledge, which, next to their devotion to the faith, was ever the distinguishing characteristic of the Irish people, we have been silent until those more recent attempts of the Commissioners of Education, and the report of the Co of Inquiry i nto the Queen's Colleges, leave no longer room to doubt that there is, in influential quar ters, an earnest disposition to carry on, nay, to extend further, a system of mixed education entirely divorced from any precise ideas of the Christian religion, in opposition to the Catholic authorities. This is not a vague surmise. There is one position deserving your attention and ours, which is, the recommendation to found intermediate classical schools, similar in principle to the Na tional and Model Schools and the Queen's Colleges, placed as those others, not only under similar but under Government commissioners, in which all religious instruction of a peculiar nature would be interdicted and proscribed, yet so richly en dowed and so alluring by their pecuniary premiums as to draw our youth—even the youth destined for the priesthood, if per mitted—from our diocesan seminaries, and from the remnant of classical schools, still sufficient to supply them, to mingle at the earliest, the mast susceptible and perilous period of their lives, svith young men of easy creeds and looser morals, and to come out with their intellectual and moral constitution so spoiled as to be totally unfitted to become proper teachers of the divine purity of the Catlsolio faith, or to practise its exalted morality. This is a state of things so revolting to contemplate, that we hove no hesitation in declaring that we shall never suffer out young candidates for the priesthood ever to be infected by an education so contaminating. And not only ass vegards our your g Levites but the entire of our youth, we w ill res i st, by all means in our power, such a sweeping system of unhallowed instruc tion, and labour to save VAr flocks from its further noxious influence. " You will, we re sure, lend us every co-operation in carrying out this, resolve, especially when you reflect that we have dismissed this question of the national system and its mischievous consequences in obedience to the Holy See. We are alarmed at the evil fruits of its develop ment in the model schools and the Queen's Colleges, and at, the probable worse fruits of its further develop ment in the contemplated intermediate classical schools. But, above all, we recommend to your zeal and solici tude the passage of the report of the commissioners of inquiry into the Queen's Colleges, which more than insinuates that the bishops and his Holiness, in condemning the colleges, were misled by their own fears, for which there :s as not any solid foundation. Whether you are to believe this insidious report that represents the colleges as harmless and safe, or trust and obey your prelates, who watch as to render an account of ycur souls,' `Judge ye.'
