THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. — It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious nrtiele of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already !ta celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, Z i ld has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been ...._" r °aght about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts write it ruing the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, „ rentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a theerfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get ,animal into condition, but in vain. He then boug - ht some o f Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. 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 agri tlfitural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff , Sze., the animals which c arried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor leY's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we . L are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely Lurnin its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for Roan Rho alone from the good opinion and testimony of those wnn have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle Will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a Paraphlet which is sent poet-free. THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ,,consequences resulting from certain habits irregularities, fear dc excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, tr*Tad hie ation in Manhood, and premature, decay at all stages •„, , than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to radern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended 4 ) Persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi- On, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health Vr iness ' and privileges to which every human being, :he r is absolutely necessary that all men should know that 1 1 are principles of personal management which cannot be `iclated without incurring grievous penalties, and when rißdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self ,,,,dolgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil I Pud its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that 4 bere is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional et angement to which the timely aid of sci nc e cannot apply cure.

With the Reasons why they so often appear Incurable. By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can moat unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Rear-Admiral Charles Talbot has been appointed to succeed Vice-Admiral Sir Henry D. Chads, K.C.8., in the command at Cork. Rear-Admiral Talbot, as captain of the Vestal, commanded the successful expedition against the piratical settle ments in Maluda Bay, Borneo, for which he received the especial thanks of the Admiralty in 1845. He was captain of the Algiers during the late war, employed in conveying troops to the Baltic, and afterwards at the blockade of Sebastopol in 1854. Captain George Giffard, C. 8., has been selected for the vacant good service pension at the disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the promo tion of Captain Shepherd to flag rank, consequent on the demise of Vice-Admiral Lord Lyons. The gallant captain, who obtained post rank in Decem ber, 1845, was lieutenant to the Cyclops, Captain H. T. Austen, at the attack on Gebail, when he was severely wounded, and assisted in the operations on the coast of Syria in 1840. He commanded the Leopard in the Gulf of Bothnia, and assisted at the reduction of Bomarsund in 1854, and subsequently joined the fleet in the Mediterranean, where he remained till the close of the late war. An Admiralty order was received at Chatham dockyard on Saturday, directing that the officers and workmen employed at that establishment who have attained the age of 70 years, and who were to have been discharged on a pension on that day, were to be retained on the establishment until further orders. The Childers, 12, Commander W. Swinburn, is partially stripped at Chatham, and most of her stores 'returned into the dockyards. She is to be paid off on Friday next, when she will be placed in the ordinary and is not expected to be again com missioned. The quarterly examination of young gentlemen nominated by the Lords of the Admiralty for entry into the navy commenced at the Royal Naval Col lege, Portsmouth, on 'Wednesday, and terminated on Saturday last, when the following received cer tificates as having passed :—For Naval Cadets—A. S. Phillpotts, W. H. Jolliffe, W. If Maw r& T. James, F. R. Carr, Sir L. H. D. Campbell, J. Black burn, F. W. Gurney, W. Skipwith, R. Jaques, E. F. Brickdale, E. S. Evans, P. H. Morgan, H. F.

The college closes on the 23d inst. for the Christmas holidays. Rear-Admiral Smart, K.H., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and chairman of the committee appointed to inquire into the general economy of our dockyards, visited Rear-Admiral Shep herd on Saturday, at Woolwich, for the pur pose of concerting measures to carry out an investigation of that department. The committee, consisting of the chairman • Mr. Henry Chatfield, master shipwright of Deptford Dockyard ; Mr. A. Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth; Mr. Laws, storekeeper of Chatham yard ; and Mr. Robert Bowman, civil engineer and shipbuilder, will assem ble at an early hour this morning at Woolwich for the purpose of extending their researches to that establishment. They have been closely engaged since the beginning of July in visiting in suc cession Portsmouth, Plymouth, Sheerness, and Chatham. Mr. Budd, senior inspector of constabulary at Woolwich Dockyard, who a short time ago escaped with his life from the ruffianly attempt to assassi nate him, the bullet having lodged in his left cheek, received the medical attestation of Sir John Fisher, chief surgeon of the force, on Saturday, and has been permitted to retire from the service on an augmented superannuation in consequence of his wound. • The Peake life-boat, destined for presentation to the municipality of Calais, was on Saturday shipped by Messrs. Forrestt on board the Calais packet Triton for conveyance to its destination. The boat is furnished with a couple of silver plates 18 inches by 14 inches each, on which is inscribed in French and English a detail of the event which originated the memorial,—namely, the humane and Christian exertions of the pilots and seamen of that port who so readily exposed their lives to save the crew of an English brig which was wrecked on their coast during it severe gale last winter, from which only one of the shipwrecked was, however, rescued. The tablets contain the names of each man connected therewith. Mr. Peake, assistant-master shipwright of Woolwich Dockyard, who usually contributes his gratuitous superintendence in the construction of these boats, has been unremitting in his attend ance in order to suggest the perfection of every requisite connected with his original design, ap proved and adopted by the Royal National Life boat Institution.

The naval apprentices cruising brigs Sealark and Rolla, Lieuts. Lowther and Nelson, have son, been laid up for the winter in Portsmouth harbour. The Mersey, new 40-gun frigate, at Portsmouth Dockyard, is far advanced in the fitment of her 1,000-horse power engines, by Maudslay ; indeed they are almost complete; the boiler fittings and coal boxes are in a very forward state. The Pert and Decoy steam gunboats were taken out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday last, by the staff of the steam reserve to try their engines. A n accident happened on board each. Mr. Curtain, en gineer in charge of the Pert, lost the tops of three fingers ; and Mr. Morgan, engineer in charge of the Decoy, lost the top of one finger by the eccen trics. The Melpomene, 51, new screwfrigate, 600-horse power, by Penn, will be taken out of the basin at Portsmouth probably this day, and placed in the secondclass of the steam fleet in reserve. The following appointments were made on Sa turday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. F. W. Bennett, to the Nile ; Lieut. E. v lll. Collier, to the Hawke ; Lieut. A. Bayley, to the Royal William ; L. K. Bowes, midshipman, to the Liffey; R. F. Cullen, urgeon, additional, to the St. Vincent ; Nicholas J. Aaron, clerk, to the Cressy. Mr. I.

The 2d battalion of the 20th (East Devonshire) Regiment will, it is understood, be shortly sent to British Columbia for service in that colony. The officers belonging to the 20th depot at Chatham garrison who will proceed with the 2d battalion are Captain Charles G. Rochfoat, Lieut. John H. H. St. John, and Lieut. Charles K. Chatfield, in structor of musketry. GEN. INGLIS AT SOUTHAMPTON. On Saturday afternoon the heroic defender and present Governor of Lucknow, Major-Gen. Sir J. Inglis, took his departure from Southampton for India on board the steam-ship Ceylon. The' Town Council had agreed to present the gallant general with an address, and on hiiarrival at Southampton he proceeded to the Town-hall, which he reached at 12 o'clock. Ho was accompanied by Lady Inglis, Lady Chelmsford, Mrs. Higgins, and Mrs. Tinling. They were met at the foot of the staircase by the mayor and corporation in their official robes, and conducted into the hall, where a large and select party of ladies and gentlemen had taken their seats, beink admitted by tickets. The presence of the general and his party was the signal for a round of cheers, which continued for several minutes, The ladies were then conducted to seats set apart for them, whilst the gallant general, with Capt. Tin ling, occupied a seat at the right of the mayor. Silence having been restored, The MAYOR, in an appropriate speech, in which he alluded with much feeling to the heroic devo tion displayed by Lady Inglis during the siege of Lucknow, then presented the following address " SO MAJOR-GEN. SIR JOHN E. W. INGLIS, K.C.B. ig Sir,—We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the town and county of the town of Southampton cannot allow you to take your departure from this port for the scene of so many of your heroic actions and noble exploits without expressing to you the high admiration we feel, in common with the rest of our countrymen, for those great and excellent qualities by which you were enabled, with the as sistance of Divine Providence, through unprece dented toil and danger, difficulties and privations, to maintain the honour of England, to preserve a small garrison besieged by overwhelming numbers, and to win for yourseAf a name that will go down to posterity in company with the most illustrious of our Indian heroes. _ _ " We feel how utterly inadequate are words to express the genuine outpourings of the heart on such an occasion as the present, because in after times, when the story of the gallant defence of Lucknow is related to dur children's children, to the latest ?enerations of Englishmen, the name of Brigadier Inglis, and that of his noble-hearted wife, will ever be associated with that sad yet glo rious episode in the history of our Indian empire. " We are aware, sir, that you have for more than a quarter of a century . served your country with distinction in both hemispheres of the globe—enter ing upon that successful career, in Canada, which culminated in the Residency of Lucknow. Under such distinguished commanders as Colborne, Mait land, and Gough, you have won those honours of which a British soldier is so justly : proud; but though in the campaigns of the Punjaub, at the siege of Mooltan, and on other memorable fields of action, you have served with honour to yourself and advantage to your country, it is your intrepid conduct in the defence of the devoted little band of men, women, and children at Lucknow, your pru dence and sagacity, your energy, bravery, and perseverance for 87 days in the face of a merciless and powerful enemy, -that have- so specially en deared your name to the people of England, and made it a household word in every English home. " There never has been told a tale," says the Governor-General of. India, ' which has more deeply stirred the hearts of our countrymen and country women, than the simple earnest narrative of Briga dier Inglis in his despatch which records the heroic achievement of the defence of the Residency of Lucknow.' " To testimony such as this not a word need be added in the shape of further commendation. It is a tribute, and a just one, of which you, sir, have much reason to be proud ; and we pray that the Almighty Disposer of human events may grant you, Lady Inglis, and family many years of health and happi ness to enjoy your nobly earned reputation. Had time and your own inclination permitted it we should have wished to give expression to our feelings in a more public manner; but as it is otherwise we take the opportuxity of bidding you a sincere fare well, and wishing you God speed in the great work before you in the East, of aiding, after the suppres sion of an unparalleled rebellion, in the promotion of contentment and loyalty, justice and good govern ment, happiness and prosperity, among nearly two hundred millions of our fellow-subjects in British India. " Given under our common seal, at Southampton, the Ist day of December, 1858." On the address being handed to the gallant gene ral by the Mayor he rose to reply, and was received with great applause. Three hearty cheers were then given for Lady Inglis and Lady Chelmsford, they, with deep emotion, bowing their acknow ledgments. General INGLIS then said—Mr. Mayor, alder men, and burgesses of the town and county of the town of Southampton —The very kind reception you have given me here, on the eve of my departure for India, calls forth my warmest and sincerest gratitude. You have been pleased to express in the highest terms your admiration of my conduct since I entered the army in 1833, throughout which period I have been actively employed, and I trust as far as lay in my power have maintained the honour of my Queen and country wherever the duties of the service called me. I held, as you know, awing to the melancholy death of Sir Henry Law rence, a responsible position during the siege of Lucknow, and was enabled, under God's providence and the assistance of the gallant little band com posing my garrison, to withstand the repeated efforts of the enemy to carry our weak position until reinforced by the persevering and brave Generals Outram and Havelock and their heroic troops. (Cheers.) I must now, as our time is short, once more express my heartfelt thanks for the high honour you have paid me, and I may add Lady Inglis also, this day, which has made, and I assure you will ever make, a deep and lasting im pression on our hearts—(cheers)—and I take leave of you, Mr. Mayor, aldermen, and all here present, with an earnest wish that every happiness, prospe rity, and success may attend you. (Cheers.) Mr. FALVEY, editor of the Hampshire Indepen dent, on the invitation of the Mayor, addressed the assemblage, and eDngratulated the people of South ampton upon the proceedings of that day, because, although the fame and heroic actions of the gallant general who had that day honoured them with his presence belonged to the whole people of the United Kingdom, they were particularly dear to the hearts of the inhabitants of this town. (Cheers.) Sir J. Inglis was connected by marriage with a family long resident at Southampton, and universally honoured and respected, and therefore, while the whole nation felt proud of his services, the people of Southampton felt a special interest in them. (Cheers.) Those services were now a matter of his tory, and he need not refer to them at length ; but this he would say, that when in after times the story of Lucknow is related, the dangers, sufferings and ultimate triumph of that devoted little band of men, women, and children—the memories of Sir John Inglis and his heroic wife—(loud cheers) — more heroic than any Greek or Roman matron whose name is recorded in history—a true-hearted English lady—their memories, he said, would be honoured and revered to the latest posterity. (Cheers.) Lady Inglis, by her noble example on that sad yet glorious occasion—by her patience, endurance, and fortitude, had added one more in stance to the many on record of the superiority of woman on great and trying occasions to those who are sometimes called lords of the creation: (Loud cheers.) Lady Inglis and her gallant husband were in every way worthy of each other, and their names - would ever be indissolubly connected with one of the most memorable and glorious defences of a be leaguered garrison recorded in the annals of heroism. (Cheers.) In conclusion lie begged, in the name of the people of Southampton, to wish Sir John and . Lady Inglis a safe and prosperous voyage to India, and when they again returned to their English hcmes he hoped they would be spared in the evening of ARRIVAL OF THE. BOMBAY. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Bombay, hired troop ship, Capt. Flamank, arrived at this port early this morning in tow of her Majesty's steam ship Argus, Commander In gram, which had been despatched from Portsmouth to assist the unfortunate vessel into this port. It will be recollected that this vessel sailed from Gravesend on the 7th November, having embarked on the 6th the following troops for India :—Ensign C. H. Atkinson and 11 men of the 61st Regiment, and 43 men of the 94th from Chatham, one subal tern and 34 men of the 7th (Princess Royal's) Dra goon Guards, 64 men of the 17th Lancers, Captain Charles Steel and._23 men, Ensign Arthur S. Gil- bert and 13 men of the .70th Regiment, Ensign S. Brown and 12 men of the Ist battalion of King's Own, two men of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment from Fermoy, 61 , men of the 71st High landers from Aberdeen, and 57 gunners of the Royal Artillery from Woolwich. The. Bombay is one of the old East India Company's ships, built of teak, and of great strength, as shown in the fact that, though subjected to a severe trial, she does not leak much more than is ordinarily the case. The evidence of those on board would impute to the captain over reliance on his ship and the exer tions of his crew; and it is a matter of inquiry as to the state of the rigging, of which so great a com plaint is made by those on board. The 500 tons of railway iron on board is also said to have been badly stowed lengthways, and contributed greatly to the labouring of the vessel, and to her great strength is attributed her weathering her great trials. She is about five feet eight inches between main, and only five feet three inches between orlop deck, which was incommoded by some rigging, and by cattle and poultry,. &c. It was on this deck the 100 soldiers to be embarked at Cork were to have been accommodated. Since the 16th the soldiers and crew have been on short allowance, and from the disordered state of the ship it has been impos sible to get any food or rest with ordinary comfort. It is but fair to Captain Flamank to say he bears the highest possible character as a sea man, and that the feeling evidently prevailing against him on board arises from his not yielding too readily to the fears of the less experienced on board, as shown in his declining to seek assistance until urged to do so by the captain in charge of the troops. The total loss is 13 drowned and one killed, all of the ship's company. The troops, women, and children were all well, though their sufferings appear to have been most severe, but for which the circumstances afford greater excuse than those on board appear to admit of. That they should have been huddled together on the orlop deck, with dead and dying cattle, and without ven tilation sufficient to secure healthy respiration, was the result of the unfortunate circumstances. The fault lies with those who certified the fitness of the vessel for the reception of the number of souls placed on board, or who allotted such mixed accom modation to human beings, cattle, poultry, and ship's stores. The evidence subjoined, from parties on board, will enable those concerned to form the best opinion of the melancholy circumstances attending the Bombay. Captain Steel, of the 17th Lancers, was the senior officer in charge of the troops, all the other officers being very young, and most of the men are inexperienced, and therefore unused to that disci pline so much of use under trials and difficulties. Captain Steel, however, by his excellent example, rendered the men very useful in assisting in work ing the ship after her difficulties came upon her. Captain Steel states that for a fortnight he never took off his clothes, but always lay down dressed for any emergency, and complains that sufficient efforts were not made to get into Cork—off which the:ship was within 15 miles on the afternoori of the 16th ult. Had the vessel put in to take the additional troops, as was intended, she would have escaped the fearful gale, and all would have gone well. On the 16th, when the foretopgallant mast went by the board, the weather was very severe, and the condition of the rigging such as not to make the accident a matter of surprise. On the 17th they passed a steamer, but did not speak her, nor did Captain Flamank cause the signal of dis tress to be run up. No other steamer came within signal distance till the Argus hove in sight. On the evening of the 23d the hurricane was very severe, and the ship refused to answer the helm, and the foremast went overboard. An Ame can hove in sight, but Captain Flamank still de clined to have the signal of distress exhibited until Captain Steel, in the presence of all the officers, expostulated with him, and said he (Capt. Steel) felt bound, as the senior officer of the troops, and in consideration of the many souls on board, to pro test against permitting another chance of relief to pass unchallenged. The distress signal was then hoisted, and the ship came alongside, intending to remain in company, but during the night the force of the weather so increased that she was compelled to leave. They did not subsequently fall in with any ship sufficiently large to render any assistance. Captain Steel further states that after the accident six days were allowed to pass before the jury masts were rigged. During this period something he thinks might have been done, and he also complains that the captain:of the Bombay should not have been so reluctant after the wreck to accept assistance. Serjeant Phillips, of the 61st Regiment, says he had been to sea before, and his impression was that the rigging of the vessel was weak, and that she was sent to sea in too great a hurry—that she rolled fearfully even before the Isss of the masts. He also says that Captain Flamank declined assistance after the vessel became a wreck. When hailed he would reply " All right enough," and that he did not need help. Drew, the seaman who was at the helm when the foremast went by the board, said that the ship was good, but the rigging bad; the men declined, in consequence, to go aloft, but the captain persisted in ordering them to do so, They did go at last, following the first mate, Mr. Paul, and fell over on the yards. Several sailors confirmed this statement, and added that the second mate, Mr. Petherick, went aloft first, but that the men declined to follow him. They were then given grog, and Mr. Paul encou raged them to go, taking the lead himself. The captain again wanted the men to go aloft a few minutes before the foremast went overboard, and when it was supported by only one shroud—they refused to go, and presently the mast fall. Thomas Wiles, seaman, said, the Bombay left Gravesend on Nov. 7. On the 12th and 13th she lost three topgallantmasts and yards, on the 16th lost main and mizen-masts, 18 men with the chief mate, being on the topsailyards at the time ; six were saved, all the others drowned. On the 17th the jibboom and flying jibboom were carried away. On the 22d the spare and long boat broke adrift, carried away the bulwarks and went overboard. On the 23d the foremast went by the board, and by the 27th all the boats had been lost. Dec. 2, Quartermaster James Alcock, whilst unshearing the jury mizenmast, was drowned, there being no boats to attempt to save him. At this time the ship was drifting. The names of the men on the yards on the 16th were : Alfred Goodeve Paul, of Topsham, first mute ; 'Alexander Mayor, boatswain's mate; Richard Cur tis, ditto ; Christopher Pollard, A.B. ; Edward Lynes, ditto ' • James Edwards, ditto ; Peter John son, ditto . ; John Tipping, ordinary ; Sears, ditto ; Kayl Carlson, ditto ; John Bruce. All the above were drowned. Charles Kirby, A. 8.; Thomas James, ditto; Brady, ditto ; Ellis, ditto ; Smith, ditto; Simmings. These were saved; but Brady sustained a fracture of the leg, which is now under treatment by the medical officer of the ship. The following is the official account of the Bom bay's voyage from her log : " Nov. 7.—The Bombay sailed from Gravesend, taking the troops as per list given elsewhere, and bound to Cork, to take on board the .

Things remained in this state till " Nov. 16, two o'clock in the afternoon, when the second mate, Mr. Petherick, attempted to get the men aloft to secure the split maintopsail. He went aloft, but not the men. On their still refusing the matter was reported to the captain, and at his persuasion they consented, the chief mate undertaking to lead them. While the hands were aloft at 2.10 p.m. furling the sail, the ship was struck by a tremendous sea causing her to lurch so fearfully as to roll the main and mizeninasts away by the board, throwing all hands aloft, 19 in number, overboard. Every possible effort was made to save the people, but 11 of the hands were thrown into the sea and drowned, together with the chief mate. The other seven hands were on he wreck ; one of them was killed, and the remaining six were rescued : one g t of them had his thigh broken.

The protest of the people of England, clerical and lay, against auricular confession is complete. No pretence of Romanism, or of the Romanising party in the Church, is more insolent or more unfounded than that which attributes the prevalence of the right of private judgment in the English Church to the example of the popular nature of the English consti- . tution, and assumes, therefore, that it is the creature of secularity and a portion of the Eastern heresy. It was the Reformation which made the revolution . But for the first, the s econd would never have been heard of, and the miracle performed upon Mary of Modena at St. Winifred's Well, in Wales, would have been solemnly believed and quietly acquiesced in, and we should have had no liberation to com memorate, and no liberty to enjoy. The freedom of discussion in the Church of England has been chiefly the result of a desire to understand, joined to a determination to reverence, the Scriptures, not widely nor idly dealt with, but only in so far as the intention of the Deity should be capable of being inferred from those Scriptures, in a serious desire to ascertain what was the rule and the intention. In this freedom there is no latitudinarianism, and no attempt to abridge thought on one side or to ex cite profanity on the other. It is, in fact, the just medium to which the Reformers desired to attain, and while it does not trammel the human will, it does not fail to declare the rules by which that will must be guided and the sanctions to which it must submit. The philosophical reader of such annals as dis play the mental history of this country will see the national mind strongly divided, and that generally into two particular categories, those who believe too little, and those who believe too much. This division arises from an unfounded arrogance in the one and a native weakness in the other. Of the first we reap the fruit of infidelity, and of the second disturbances created by the Church of Rome and her adherents in the general polity of the state. How very far this Church has fallen in the opinion of Englishmen, and of all natives of reformed countries, is chiefly visible in the case of the Confessional. n many of its other false doctrines the Church of ltome has had the good fortune to adopt subjects on which the profane vulgar are not much learned, and there fore its doctrines on such matters are not likely to meet with much public and general dispute. But the question of the Confessional touches the very root of all organised society, and at this, as far as this country is concerned, the chief indignation of the people is levelled. While those who thought it right to adhere to some ex treme display in worship were content to avail themselves of that display alone, perhaps it would be scarcely right or just that we should suppose them to be acting in any . ill-faith, or working against the interests of religion of the Church, and thus we did not deal so harshly with that parti cular kind of affectation which was not inappro priately called church millinery. But the Confes sional, properly so called, takes a wider range than the mere question of what is or what is not the actual boundary of priestly power, and there could not be a greater proof of how correct is the feeling of the people, and how deeply seated are the doctrines of Protestant Christianity, than the uni versal repudiation which the doctrine of auricular confession has received from the sincere men in England. At the same time, and with the fullest sense of the dangers, and indeed of the great sin, of auricular confession, our own desire would be to see the question dealt with by the authorised tri bunals of the Church ; and deeply as we admire our order," we think that in such a matter (except as to publishing the opinions of those of the clergy who choose to adopt such a medium), the post of honour of the press is without doubt a private sta tion. We have not the least fear that the Popish vanity of auricular confession has, to any serious extent, invaded the Church. Both the clergy and the people are too trustworthy to lead us to dread such a result. When public meetings on the subject have been held, we deny that such—at all times painful displays—have been provoked by the conduct, even the occasional conduct, of any considerable number of the clergy. The persons guilty of outraging the Protestant feeling of the country have, as is the case in all pursuits, been persons generally of little mark as to usefulness in the Church, and perhaps of leas in their career as sch olars. The who have sought to exaggerate the priestly offi. rally been men who have not hon . amount of their own abilities or the their own success. There arc no Taylors, nor Ti lotsons, nor • Lowths, nor Usshers, amongst the modern list of coaricular." confessors" and parish " martyrs." If there is any power of appreciation of the signs of the times amongst the extreme and anti-Protes tant class, they must see that the whole spirit of the people is fighting against them, and that the one opinion of the entire Reformed Churches con demns the practices by which they have led, in the Church of England, some of their weak brethren to err. There are, however, a few, and a very few, from whom. the spirit of judgment would seem to have departed, and who fight for a principle with out the least reference to its advantage to the cause of religion or of the Church ; forgetting the-greatest maxim of the Apostle that "all things are lawful,but all things are not expedient." 'We should be sorry to think that at any time in England, or in Chris tendom,any part of the people should be precluded from the advantage of " confessing their sins one to another," if the one had injured the other and wished. to give proof of regret in the slight reparation of acknowledgment, or if it was a comfort to a bur dened conscience to be relieved from its own agonies by the admission of sins to a clergyman or a neighbour. But to permit, on this sround, exa mination and cross-examination, the licentiousness of Liguori and the filth of Dens—that suggestions of crime should be put broadly, demanding long and dangerous explanation, and every sinuosity of vice should be traced turn by turn—and all that for the only purpose of saying, "itepent of that and Pll forgive you"—this would be to adopt the doctrine of the confessional of Rome,•and to abandon the notion of free agency in confessing voluntarily, which is the element of all the confession which the Reformed Churches allow. It would be well, however, that too violent courses should not be recommended, merely on the ground that men differ in doctrine and practice on this matter. There is a large body in the Church much more tolerant to dissent, and even to suspi cious dissent than to that portion of the Church itself which, we regret to say, entertains extremes opinions. Never was the advice of the Pagan fable more needful than just aow—ntedio trttissiintfs ibis ! There is a long way between the doctrines, and often the worth of the Churchman who holds the highest notions of his power, and who may be nick named by those who comprehend neither of the phrases " Traetarian" and " Puseyite," and the dis seminator of the "cold-hearted heresy" of Socinian ism. It is dangerous to assume that all men who go somewhat too far are actually conspiring with the general enemy, or that men otherwise blame less are imbued with some deep desire to betray the Church. At all events it is to be hoped that. however much needed are lectures like those of Dr. Cumming against the practice of the Confes sional, the need for them will decay before the in fluence of true attachment to the Protestant faith, and the legitimate operation of the machinery of the Church herself.—Morning Herald. NEW ARRANGEMENT AS REGARDS THE LETTER CARRIERS. The following new system of arrangements, as regards remuneration to the letter carriers or post men, has just been agreed to by the authorities of the General Post-office:— " TO THE LONDON LETTER CARRIERS. " I am directed by the Portmaster-General to in form you that his . lordship has received authority from the Lords of the Treasury to make the follow ing alterations with regard to the appointment, pay, and promotion of the London letter carriers, and other members of the fourth class : "1. In future, when vacancies occur among the letter carriers of the third class, such letter carriers as are also charge takers' (and fully competent for that office), and as are not already in the third class, will be promoted to it in the order of merit, without requiring that they should become sorters; but, with this exception, no more letter carriers will as such be promoted to the third class, and all future vacancies which may arise among the letter carriers now in that class will not be filled up. "2. The scale of wages for the 4th class, which at present commences at 19s. per week, an d rises by an annual increment of ls. to 235., will, as re gards all future appointments, commence at 18s., but will rise, by the same annual increment. to 255. "3. Men now in the service will continue to ad vance on the present scale till they reach 235. per week; but instead of remaining at 235. (the maxi mum of that scale), they will, after six years' ser vice (dating from their being placed on the esta blishment), advance to 245., provided they shall have stood at wages of 235. as much as one year. Having served another year at wages of 245., they will advance to 255., the maximum of the new scale. A service of six years is required to entitle a man to advance to 245., because, under the new scale, it will require six years to reach that point. "4. Those who have already served six years in all (dating from their being placed on the esta blishment), and at least one year at wages of 235. a week, will be at once advanced to 245., and a_year hence will he further advanced to 255. a week. "5. By the old scale (that in use before the re vision in 1854), the 60 senior post letter carriers (a distinction which, as you know, then existed) were entitled to 30s. each per week, and a further of 11 to 255. ; and it has been arranged that of the old _general post letter carriers still in the ser vice (whatever may be their present class (such as are receiving , less than they would have had under the old scale, shall henceforward receivethe wages which, under the old scale, they would have en joyed. This will at once advance every such letter carrier (now receiving less) either to 255. or 30s. ; and as vacancies occur in the 30s. class, they will he filled up by the admission (according to seniority) of other old general post letter carriers, so long as they remain in the service. " 6. In like manner also, under the old system, 141 of the senior London district letter carriers received wages of 255. a week ; and it has been settled, that, as regards all men now in the service who were district letter carriers at the time of the revision, this regulation shall be re-established. Consequently, such of the 141 senior London dis trict letter carriers still in the service (whatever may be their present class) as now are receiving less than 255. a week will be advanced to that amount ; and as vacancies occur in the 255. class, they will be filled up by the admission (according to seniority) of the other London district letter carriers, so long as any remain who were in the service at the time of the revision. " 7. It is, of course, intended that all advance ments herein authorised shall, as heretofore, depend on every man's good conduct, and on the efficient discharge of his duties. " 8. At present men sometimes enter the ser vice beyond the age for which the lowest wages are calculated, and with the burden of a family upon them. Such men are objectionable, not only because. a man who has incurred respon sibilities beyond his income is likely to be uneasy, dissatisfied, and a bad officer, but because the diffi culty of training a person to the rapid and effi cient discharge of the duties of letter carrier and sorter is greatly increased if at the commencement he is past the age of youth. To remedy this evil it has been determined that every new letter car rier is to be appointed under 21 years of age. " 9. The wages for the current week will be paid, in accordance witk the foregoing arrange ments, on Saturday next, Dec. 4. " 10. Arrangements, as you are aware, have for some time been in progress for changing the hour of the last collection of letters from ten o'clock to nine ; aad it is under consideration whether 13ome improvement may not be made in the mode of e t r h e e n t satisfaction 'alk s. po!T itir. I m de gle a tt ereasired t rriers to re o t e h x e p irdiff ss which Lord Colchester feels at being thus enabled to fulfil the expectations held out by him to the general body of letter carriers, of improving their condition ; and to state that hislordship • glad to find that, although. some few letter carriers have been led to by bad d a visers into acts which have brought punishment upon them, the general body have placed a just confidence in his word, and have shown that they did not participate in the late discreditable system of agitation. " WILLIAM IIOKENHAM, " Controller of the Circulation Department." DEATH OF LADY LUCY B RIDGE VAN.—W e deeply regret to announce the death of Lady Lucy Bridgeman, daughter of the Earl of Bradford, who died on Friday morn ing, at Weston Hall, Staffordshire, from the effects of the severe burns she received in endeavouring to extinguish the burning clothes of her unfo r tunate sister, Lady Charlotte Bridgeman, who, it will be recollected by our readers , died on the 26t h ult., from the fearful inj uries sustained by her dregs igniting accidentally in the drawing-room at Weston Hall. A deep gloom has been cast over this noble family by the distressing calamity. Her ladyship was eldest au e. viving daughter of the Earl of Bradford, and was hem October 3, 1826. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Rush of Blood to the Head is fre quently caused by a bad condition of the stomach or bowels, but by a course of Holloway's Pills, these distressing symp toms are prevented, or if they have made their appearance, are quickly exterminated. Dizziness of sight, headache, and other alarming symptoms, are also relieved by this wonderful aperient ; also all internal disorders are curable by them, because by their influence on the nerves, Alit y reduce the entire system to a healthy action. The first effect of Holloway's Pills is to cause a healthy flour of saliva during mastication, to excite the stomach to secrete suffi cient gastric juice to digest the food, whose chyle, entering the blood, bestows on that fluid wholesome tonic properties. ~~-,~. r . -
