EGERTON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to proceed, during the present session, with the Appropriation of Seats (Sudbury and St. Albans') Bill? Sir G. C. LEWIS answered in the affirmative. ORNAMENTAL GATES AT HAMPTON COURT. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner of Works at whose request and for what purpose certain or namental gates had lately been removed from Hampton Court Palace Gardens, and whether it was intended to re store such gates to their original position ? Mr. COWPER slid that the gates in question had be come much deteriorated, and were removed to London for the purpose of being renovated, after which they would be restored to their former position. THE GALWAY CONTRACT. Mr. LANIGAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the representations made to her Majesty's Govern ment on behalf of the Royal Atlantic Steam Navigation Company, relative to a recent letter of the Postmaster General in reference to the Galway contract, had been con sidered, and with what result ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the communication re ferred to was very long, and was received only yesterday afternoon. The statement would have to be considered by her Majesty's Government, but would be laid on the table with the answer of the Postmaster-General. In reply to Mr. BEAMIBII, Lord PALMERSTON said he had no hesitation in stating that it would be most advantageous to the interests of the United Kingdom to have the most rapid communi cation with the north of America. He was of opinion that Ireland was that portion of the United Kingdom from which such communication should be established, and her Majesty's Government would be ready to adopt a plan for that r urpogo, it wag fvu....acu u Z vu tL keie.cipie or open competition. Col. FRENCH asked if it was the intention of the Go vernment to withdraw the subsidy for the Galway contract? Lord PALMERSTON said that the house was already in possession of what had taken place on this subject. Mr. KER asked if the Government had received a memo rial :from the inhabitants of Dublin and Waterford against the withdrawal of the subsidy. Lord PALMERSTON said that some petitions to that effect had been received from certain parts of Ireland, but those in question had not reached the Government. BRITISH SUBJECTS IN AMERICA. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reference to a question which had keen asked him the other evening, said he had received a communication from the British Consul at New Orleans, stating that some British subjects in that part of America had been forced to enter the militia, but they were now liberated, and redress was premised. THE PAPER DUTY. —ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MELLOR resumed the adjourned debate on going into committee on the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill. The hon. and learned member contended that the argu ments against the 4th clause of the bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duty were fallacious, and the opposition of some honourable members to the remis sion of that impost was most inconsistent. It was said that there would be no surplus, and therefore it would be most inexpedient to remit this tax. But if that were true, how, then, could they advocate the repeal of the tea duty, which was much larger in amount ? It was said that the tea duty was a war tax, and therefore should be the first repealed ; but he contended the most objectionable tax should have the precedence in being remitted. Moreover, th e paper duty was a war tax, and on that ground was as much entitled to repeal as the tea duty The effect of removing the p a p er d uty would increase e r n; ployment by increasing the productive proper of a certain branch of industry, and enabl e the paper manufacturers to compote with those on the continent, who were exempted fr om an y financial restrictions. Re denied that the repeal of this tax would cause a collision with the House of Lords, and he cited Lord Monteagle on the subject. The hon. gentleman then went in detail through the arguments used against the 4th clause of the bill, and urged some arguments in its favour which were not very novel or effective. Mr. DISRAELI, who was received with l ou d c h eers, then rose to address the house. He defended the course pursued by the opponents of the clause, and denied that their opposition was dictated by any party spirit. It could not be denied that the form in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had brought forward his resolutions this session was unusual, and, considering what had occurred last year, hon. members were justified in believing that such form was adopted for a particular purpose. He did not object to that form on certain occa sions, as it might be desirable to present the financial reso lutions in an united form. With reference to the House of Lords, it had been denied that there was any desire to bring the two houses into collision, but he could not help conceiving that it was a course of proceeding most unwise and unnecessary, and the very reverse of con ciliatory to the other house. (Hear, and cheers.) It would be most impolitic to adopt any course that would lead to a collision b2tween the two houses, and, without surrender ing a privilege of that house, he was prepared to make • deny the existence large concessions to avert such a resu lt . H e did not of a surp l us, and his objection to this clause was based on other grounds. He contended that war taxes should be the first to be remitted, a doctrine that was sound, and popular because sound. (Hear, hear.) It could not be d en i e d t h at t h e income-tax was a war tax, an d applying the the r o e u d l u d c t n io o n t of offer ffer that anyi impost. objection Had that principle he had just la id dow n he maintained that the surplus which the Chanc ellor of the Exchequer announced ought th the budget of the right ho n. gentleman on that groun d. He then proceeded to argue that great a d van t age would re suit from the reduction of the income tax, whi c h wou ld at b t e o e n b e proposedapp applied to h t o stimulate consumption, and redeem the faith o f Govern [LEFT SPEA-KING.] ment with the com munity.(Hear, hear.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(2hts Day). COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Baron Channell.) HATCH V. LEWIS AND LEWIS. It will be remembered that some days since Mr. Cham bers applied for a rule for a new trial on the grounds of mis direction, of the rejection of evidence, and that the damages were insufficient. Judgment was delivered to-day by The Lord Chief Baron, who said that so far as the misdi rection and rejection of evidence was concerned, it was cured by the verdict, and no new trial would be granted on those grounds—the jury having found for the plaintiff. As to the damages, it was a question on which so much diffe rence of opinion might reasonably exist, that the Court were unananimously of opinion that the rule could not be granted on the ground that they were insufficient. Rule refused. ROLLS COURT. (Before Sir John Rornilly.) FORREST V. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE RAILWAY. His Honour, in delivering judgment this morning in this case, said—After carefully examining the evidence he could come to no other conclusion than that the acts of the rail way directors were not beyond those conferred upon them by their Act of Parliament. It was perfectly clear that if the railway company diverged from their proper purpose of carrying passengers and goods to a certain place and conveyed them to another, it was not legal for them so to do. Even if all the shareholders agreed to carry on a different trade from that which they were specially empowered to do, then the directors had not the power to do so, and that point had been most clearly set tled in the Ipswich case, where it was decided that a rail way could not carry on the business of a manufacturing company. He was of opinion that no capital was expended or expenses incurred for the purpose of carrying out the excursion trips beyond those given to them by Parliament. The bill must, therefore, be dismissed with costs, because it was proved that this was not the appellants' own suit, but that of another company from whom ha had indemnity for costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Evans.) IN RE THE UNION DISCOUNT COMPANY. To-day was appointed for the settlement of the list of contributions in the matter of this company now in the Court under the Winding-up Act. The case has been before the Court on previous occasions, but up to the present time no statement of affairs has been made public. _ _ The rest of the business was of an uninteresting charac ter, consisting chiefly of audits and choices.

Robert Ainslie : It has been said by m any clergymen who do not agree with the " Essays and Reviews," that their authors ought i and df ed candid o E c s t t r a i u b e l e i s x aihnemdi thenCaht u i ornc Church,h—. aAn ,—and r y e ni v b e n r y y i a t v e c a r a l s r i m e i t n y no et gyk longer imten ne t c o heo b s ls e da as a supplement to the eight discourses I h ave delivered on the Essays and Reviews, to ascertain "What is it that a clergyman of the Church of England is required to believe F" My answer will occupy two or three Discourses, and we shall learn, probably, who are the men so faithful to their vows, as to be without sin; and qualified to cast stones at the Essayists. SUPPLEMENTARY DISCOURSE 1. The text is from Paul's 2d Epistle to the Corinthians, 6th chapter, the 3d and part of the 4th verse :—" Giving no offence in any thing that the ministry be not blamed : but in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God." In a charge recently delivered by the Venerable Arch deacon Singleton, he is reported to have said, " Judge, then, of my sorrow and surprise, and indignation, on seeing within the last few years publications of various kinds in which clergymen of our Church—men of learning holding high positions—circulate without scruple, as pure English coin, the basest neological counterfeits oiGermany. Most of the clergy are sufficiently acquainted with the works I allude to. Ido not pause to enter upon the question how far the several authors of one notorious volume were re sponsible for each other's performances, though I must observe that those among them who object to the more ad vanced Infidelity of the rest, had in vain been called upon to repudiate the Anti-Christian principles of their brethren." The Rev. Henry Allon, minister of Union Chapel, Islington, who for some time was held up as a heretic in the columns of the British Standard, and who is said to be the author, in part or entirely, of the article which appeared in the British Quarterly, on the "Essays and Reviews," is reported to have used these words at the late annual breakfast of the Young Men's Christian Association He was not greatly alarmed at the publication of rationa listic books, and he thought it did not say much for the faith and trust of the Church that such a panic had lately been exhibited." (If Mr. Allen be the author of the article referred to he has done all in his power to increase the panic.) He proceeded and said, "It was certainly very scandalous that ministers of the Church of England should have published the Essays and Reviews." According to these divines there are infidels in the Church of England, men who write and publish infidelity. We have here the testimony of conformist and of non-con formist. Nothing, however, has transpired authoritatively since the Committee of Convocation took the matter in hand, except that in proroguing Convocation, last week, it was stated that the report of the committee " was not quite ready." There is but little doubt that the whole subject will be more complicated, and will have to be investigated more thoroughly than was expected, or intended. If the Essayists have tiangressed in one direction, how many have transgressed in every other direction. Religious men lay claim to honesty on other grounds than those of men who make no profession of religion. Clergymen should be moral men : they should also be honest. With them truth should be the bread of life to the mind—and honesty the soul of peace to the conscience and the heart. If a commercial man were to go to a clergyman, and ask his advice as to questions of morals in trading, he would espe cially enjoin upon him truthfulness, justice, and honourable dealing. If he were to ask by what principles he should be guided in signing a contract, he would urge upon him the necessity of thoroughly knowing and understanding what he is about to sign ; and that he should faithfully abide by the terms of the contract. It is well known that we have morality under various phases, even in this country, where men call themselves Christians. We have the morality among lawyers. No more honourable men exist in the com munity, than upright and conscientious lawyers. They would scorn to fleece and to oppress a client. They m ould as soon think of going on the highway to plunder as to take advantage of the various means the law affords them to plunder their clients. But there are men numbered by hundreds in that profession who are utterly reckless and woi thlcss. They have no principle, no conscience, they give wrong advice ; for the sake of fees they introduce every possible delay, and if the client be a man of property they will not leave him until they have legally or illegally plundered him of every shilling they can obtain, and then. they will throw him off when they can obtain no more plun der. Some of the worst of these men are avowedly religious men, members of churches, high Calvinists, believing in their personal election. Perhaps they are wise, in holding this lie in their right hand, for if not saved by absolute and unconditional election, irrespective of personal charac ter, it is morally certain they could never be saved at all. It is their only chance, but they will find it to be a fearful delusion. We have also social and conven tional morality. We have also commercial morality—and in a great country like this we ought to have, and to a large extent we have realised it—truth, honesty, justice, honour able dealing—in one word, all that is comprehended in the term " a man of honour" as the basis of our commercial code. This exists in society with or without religion. And then we have, or ought to have, the most elevated morality among bishops, priests, and deacons, and ministers of religion of all denominations. There is their personal character for general uprightness, consistency, purity, and piety; and then there is their Ecclesiastical morality. Of this there are two branches : first, the truthful avowal, as in the presence of God, of what they believe when entering upon the office of the ministry ; and second, their sincerity in truthfully holding and honestly teaching what they avow they believe. All double meaning, false reserve, equivoca tion, dissembling, and the end justifying the means—(states of mind which the honourable commercial man would spurn from him) —ought especially to be discarded and renounced by a clergyman. Truthfulness in the heart, and on the lip, God requires of all men. Clergymen of the Church of England, and all candidates for holy orders, are, however, placed in peculiarly difficult and trying positions. They seek to minister at the altar of the Established Church, and to this perilous position they have to wade through abstruse propositions, Romish Church offices, Calvinistic articles, contradictory creeds, and to de clare that they believe them all. To everything within the covers of the Prayer-book they have to give ex anima their assent and consent. 'We shall now endeavour to answer the question, " What is it that a clergyman of the Church of England is required to believe?" At the time of the founding of the Established Church very different views of religion, of liberty, of private judgment, and of individual responsibility prevailed to those now generally ac cepted. Henry VIII., of blessed memory I was the founder of the Episcopal Church of England—the Church established by law. Macaulay says, " Henry VIII. attempted to constitute an Anglican Church, differing from the Roman Catholic Church, on the point of the supre macy, and on that point alone. His success in the attempt was extraordinary. The force of his character, th© singu • larly favourable situation in which he stood with respect to foreign powers, the immense wealth which the spoliation of the abbeys placed at his disposal, and the support of that class which still halted between two opinions, enabled him to hid defiance to both the extreme parties—to burn as heretics those who avowed the tenets of Luther, and to hang as traitors those who owned the authority of the Pope." In referring to Cranmer, Macaulay says, " The man who took the chief part in settling the conditions of the alliance which produced the Anglican Church, was Thomas Cranmer. He was the representative of both the parties which at that time needed each other's assistance. He was at once a divine and a statesman. * * * * * * His temper and his understanding, eminently fitted him to act as mediator. Saintly in his professions, unscrupulous in his dealings—zealous for nothing— bold in speculation—a coward and a time-server in action—a placeable enemy, and a lukewarm friend, he was in every way qualified to arrange the terms of the coalition between the religious and the worldly enemies of Popery." After these allusions to Henry VIII. and Cranmer, Macaulay gives us his opinion of the present state of the church. He says, "To this day the constitution, the doctrines, and the services of the Church retain the visible marks of the compromise from which she sprang. She occupies a middle position between the Churches of Rome and Geneva. Her doctrinal confessions or Knox would have ples of theology in which C alvin and discourses composed by Prote stants set forth primm found scarcely a word to disapprove. Her prayers and thanksgivings derivßi s hop Fisher or Cardinal Pole might e d from the ancient liturgies , are very genera lly such that • h ave heartily j o iner in them. A Controversialist who puts an Armenian s ense on her articles and homilies will be pro nounced by candid men to be as unreasonable as aControver sialist who denies that the doctrine of baptismal regeneration can be discovered in her liturgy." The death of Henrychanged the aspect of affairs both ecclesiastical and political, and the fierce and ungovernable will of a tyrant had to be modified, and expressed by the English Parliament in the short reign of his successor. In the fifth and sixth years of the reign of Edward VI., there was passed "an Act for the Uniformity of Common-prayer and Administration of the Sacraments," but the early death of Edward soon introduced a very dif ferent state of things. Mary succumbed to the Pope, and bishops, priests, and deacons—the Houses of Parliament and the people went back to Popery. The following is Bishop Burnet's account of the visit of Cardinal Pole to the House of Parliament :" Their Majesties being seated under , a canopy, and the Lords and Commons being present, Gar. diner, the Chancellor, introduced to them Cardinal Pole. Pole produced his commission from the Pope and addressed the house. " He had come to restore the nation, which had strayed from the sacred enclosure, to its ancient and true nobility." The two houses agreed to the offered reconcilia tion. On their knees they presented an address to the King and Queen, beseeching their Majesties, who had not been defiled by their schism, to intercede with the legate of the Holy See that he would grant themand the kingdom abso lution from the sin ofschism and heresy, and receive them again into the bosom of the Church." On their beaded knees the Lords and Commons received absolution from Cardinal Pole, because they had been Protestants, and then and there became Papists. Oh, England, and was this thy humiliation by the Court of Rome I On the death of Mary, Elizabeth succeeded to the 'throne, and in the first year of her reign the Acts passed by Mary were repealed, and those paised in the fifth and sixth of King Edward VI. were re ' enacted. The Houses of Parliament again became Pro testant, and the Act of Uniformity was revived. The penalties for non-conformity were very severe. It does not appear that at any time the Christianity of the New Testament was referred to, or that truth was the aim of any party, but simply which ecclesiesastticantl. system should be dominant—the Romish or the Pr t P er secutions, the most wanton and cruel, pre both systems. vailed under e into ope and it cam Uniformity now in force was passed , Jew day, in the year It was in the 14th year of Charles 11, that the Act of ration on the memorable St. Bartholomew pray er and the ad of our Lord 1662.

' hlished by law _ _ owing declaration: " I, A , 8., do hereby declare my unfeigned assent and consent to a ll and everything contained and prescribed in and by t h e book intituled, ' The Book of Common Prayer and the a dministration of the sacraments and other rites and cere monies of the Church according to the use of the Church of England,' together with the Psalter, or Psalms of David, pointed as they are to be said or sung, and the form or manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of bishop°, priests, and deacons." I need not point out to you the solemnity and sacredness of this declaration. It is avowedly associated with the entrance upon a public ministry, marked by truth and purity, and demanding sincerity of heart, truthfulness of speech, and denouncing every form of de ceit, equivocation, and hypoorisy. The assent and consent are unfeignedly given—that ii, without any disguise or mental reservation. It is given to all, and everything contained in, and prescribed by the book of Common Prayer, so that whatever we find within the covers of that book, Calvinistic, or Armenian, Arian, or Trinitarian, or Pelagian; whatever we find Popish in o ffi ces, and rites and ceremonies ; whatever opposition there may be between articles and services, every consecrated bishop, and every ordained priest and deacon—to one and all of the doctrines and offices have given their unfeigned assent and consent, believing them as in the sight of God to be all true. In ad dition to the above he must likewise subscribe to the three following articles i-Ist, That the Queen's Majesty under God is the only supreme governor of this realm. * * * As well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes, as temporal. 2d, That the book of Common Prayer, and of ordering of bishops, priests, and deacons, contatneth in it nothing contrary to the Word of God. 3d, That he acknow ledges all and every the articles, being in number 39, to be agreeable to the Word of God. The following are the words of the subscription :—" I, A. 8., do willingly and ex anima subscribe to these three articles above mentioned, and to all things contained in them." As a further security for ortho doxy and uniformity the 4th and sth canons enact as fol low :—Canon 4th, " Whosoever shall hereafter affirm that the form of God's worship in the Church of England * * contained in the book of Common Prayer * • * con taineth anything in it that is repugnant to the Scriptures, let him be excommunicated ipso facto, and not restored but by the bishop of the place, or archbishop, after his repent ance, and public revocation of such his wicked errors." And Canon sth provides, " Whosoever shall hereafter affirm that any of the 39 articles * * * are in any part supersti tious or erroneous, or such as he may not with a good con science subscribe unto, let him be excommunicated." No clergyman (and every clergyman professes to be a religious and truth speaking man) would dare to say, after Intvincr made these solemn declarations and subscriptions, that he looked upon it as a great sham —that it was a mode of de ceit and lying, by which alone he ceuld get into the Church —that he did not, and could not believe one-half of it— that in a matter of social or commercial life ha would shun the doing of so vile and treacherous an met, but that he was obliged, in order to get into the Church, to feign, to deceive, and to lie; and that he was conscious, whenever he stood up to preach, the congregation would see before them a man who in the most solemn act of his life trifled with truth—was guilty of deceit —and befoul God and man for the sake of office and position deliberately lied. I have, therefore, not as an act of charity, but of co mmon jsushotpic, solemnly r he has every v a e rrightetsot t en d d eacon , a b e e e e v r e y s b a i s sho and a rchbi decl are d he does,everything in the book of Common I rayer; and that nothing therein contained is repugnant to, nor con trary to the Word of God. One word generally about the Prayer Book before we begin to Examine it. I am noit about t raise any objections on trifling matters : nor have I one word to say against the style in which it is composed. It is well for the English language, that before it became de teriorated, it had two such treasuries in which its noble Saxon dialect could be deposited, as the English Bible and the book of Common Prayer. Of course there are some obsolete and uncouth words that might be changed, both in the one and in the other, but these books will ever remain alone in their grandeur, simplicity, and power. After the Acts of Parliament prefatory to the Prayer Book, comes the kalendar with the Saints' days; certainly these have "no warrant from Holy Scripture." Lucian, Fabian, and others, in January-14th of February—Valen tine : Bishop and Martyr—Bishop Blassius—and Agatha the Sicilian Virgin and Martyr—lnnocents day—Purifica tion of the Virgin Mary—thus recognising the Romis h doc trine of the perpetual virginity of the mother of Jesuit—the Annunciation of our Lady—Saints' days for the Apostles— for St. Michael and all ang els—for the Monk Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury—for Boniface—for St. Anne, mother to the blessed Virgin Mary—for Cecilia,Virgin and Martyr—for Catherine, the same—for Lucy, the same,and many others. All these are approved by every clergyman entering the Church, however absurd, superstitious, and unscriptural ; and however papistical the model from which they are copied. Certainly such a kalendar, and such a superstitious observance of days, can receive no sanction from Holy Scripture. ie The next thing is a table of the feast-days, to be ob served in the Church of England throughout the year. Besides the 52 Sundays there are some 29 or 30 feast-days. Among them,—the Circumcision of our Lord, the Purifica tion of the blessed Virgin, St. Michael and all Angels, the Holy Innocents, and several others. There are some 16 vigils to be kept, and there are fast •clays, the 40 days in Lent, 12 Ember days, 3 Rogation days, and all the Fridays in the year except Christmas day. Now, lam not reading from the Romish missal, nor any mediaeval book, in force some centuries back, but from the Book of Common Prayer, used in the Established Church, in the year 1861; to which all clergymen have given their assent and consent, and which the high Anglican party faithfully carry out, but of which others are ashamed, and practically ignore the greater part of such folly and superstition. We now come to the Morning Prayer, and the first thing that is objectionable and unscriptural, is the absolution pronounced by the priest ; but our remarks on this we shall postpone till we come to the Ordination service. "He de scended into hell" is one point in the Apostle's creed on which the clergy differ very much, as on some others, though by their assent and consent they unanimously de clare they believe it. . _ On 13 days of the year (to-day is one of them) the Con fession of Faith, called the Creed of St. Athanasius, is to be said or sung in every church or chapel throughout the kingdom. Do not misunderstand my remarks about this Creed. lam not about to censure men for believing in what is called the doctrine of the Trinity. I understood religious liberty too well to censure any man for the exer cise of his right of private judgment, nor am I about to al lude to the endless varieties of definitions that prevail in private among the clergy on this subject. I condemn the ' Creed on the common grounds, on which hundreds and thousands of those condemn it, who have, nevertheless,be fore God, given their assent and consent to it. The chief grounds of condemnation are these : The wicked usurpation of authority on the part of the compilers of the Creed, in making and forging a term and condition of Salvation entirely unknown to the Holy Scriptures. Not a word from the lips of Christ, nor from the pen of one of the Apostles, sanctions this wicked and blasphemous usurpation of the Divine prerogative, of saying, as authoritative from God, what neither God nor Christ, nor the Apostles even said or hinted at. The words of the usurped authority are these (and every clergyman who uses, adopts them, and is responsiblefor ut tering them) :—" Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith : which faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly." And then, after a mass of illogical, scholastic jargon, unscriptural in its phrases and doctrine, the compilers close it with these words :—" This is the Catholic faith, which except a man keep it faithfully, he cannot be saved." Every clergyman of the Established Church has given his assent and oonsent to this usurpation of the prerogative of Deity; dictating a condition and term of salvation to their fellow men, unscriptural, illogical, in comprehensible, and utterly absurd. Every beneficed or officiating clergyman has this day, or he ought to have done it, pronounced unfalteringly on every Trinitarian who differs from this representation of the doctrine, and upon every one who does not believe in the doctrine, that without doubt he shall perish everlast ingly ; and again, that he cannot be saved. Where is the authority for bishop, priest, or deacon to make such a state ment ; deliberately, in the presence of God, to assume his prerogative and utter as deliberately such a terrible false hood 1 Some 13,000 or 14,000 clergymen ought, by their vows, to have done this to-day. They have said they believe it • they have given their assent and consent to it. But do they believe it? The common sense of thousands teaches them to spurn the cruelty of the Creed, its uncharitableness, and its unscriptural jargon • and they avoid the use of it whenever they can. They know that one part of the Creed is high Trinitarianism, and another part high Arianism. They know that its phraseology is unlike to anything in the New Testament, and that sending men to hell for ever, for not believing what certain ecclesiastics drew up in a party warfare, is as uncharitable, wicked, and unscriptural as it is blasphemous. Who would envy the intelligence, the Bibli cal knowledge, the bigotry of the men who can honestly use this Creed ? and who would envy the conscience, the honesty, and the peace of mind of the men who, for the sake of th e priest's office and its morsel of bread, declare their assent and consent to this Creed, when in their heart they thoroughly repudiate it? Not a few of these men,—who thus play false to themselves, to their office, and to their God,—bitterly censure the Essayists and Reviewers. Let him, however, who is without fault—in departing from what he has promised to adhere to—cast the first atone at them. PROVIDENT CLERKS' LIFE ASSUR• "INCE BENEVOLENT FUND. The election of annuitants took place yesterday, in the board-room of this association, Moorgate street. The poll closed at three o'clock, after which the chairman declared that out of the list of seven male candidates William Emery had been elected to an annuity of £3O per annum, and that out of a list of twenty-one f e m a l e candidates annuities had been granted to S. Jesty (3,395 votes), E. Husband (4,306), and C. Sargent (4,035). Jesty's annuity was £2O, and that of the others £l5. W. Emery had 2,522 votes. Mr. R. H. Jones, the president of the association, occupied the chair, and was sup: ported by numerous directors and subscribers. 4 1 vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, Mr. Toole, one of the auditors, in thesupperetainegeeess. resolution, said that the condition of theu w fu o l u e ld an i d n i s d ta antecselamentable.

The resolution was un an i mously carried. The chairman, in responding to the compliment, offered considerable consolation to the unsuccessful can didates, by stating that their chances of success would be materially improved next time by the receipts of the dinner on Thursday. He hoped the proceeds of the dinner would enable the directors to increase Ihe number of annuitants, a consumma tion anxioully desired by the board. Th c announcement was made yesterday of a heavy Russian failure, which was reported some weeks back to be likely to occur, but which was then prevented by the interposition of the Russian Government. The disaster comprises the houses of Messrs. W. Brandt and Sons, of Archangel ; Mr. Charles Brandt, of St. Petersburg ; Messrs. Brandt Brothers, of Riga; and Mr. Richard Brandt, of London, and the total liabilities are believed to amount to £300,000. The direct debts of the London house are, it is said, limited to L 70,000. On the first occurrence of difficulties the Russian Government advanced £lOO,OOO, but this proved insuffici ent, and an applicatim for further help having been un successful, suspension became necessary, and the accounts have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Quilter, B a ll, and Co. The connexion was one of old standing, and of great responsibility, but it must not be confounded with the firms of Messrs. William Brandt and Co., of St. Petersburg, and William Brandt, Sons, and Co. (formerly E. H. Brandt, Son, and Co.), of London. The members of the latter esta blishments, although relatives of the members of the faile firms, are entirely separate and independent. - 0" p to 1 8 they were together, but since that time the holing, of the two branches of the family have been distinct, Sharel 100 stk 18 20} 20i 10 1001 17i 20 stock 100 stook stook stock stock stock stock stock stock stook 1 All (100 15 an 100 1 7f t
