AN OTHER DECLINE IN CITY Two THE MINIMUM RATE OF DISCOUNT. A further reduction, viz., to 5 per cent., has Just been effected in the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England. The tendency of affairs during the last few days had fully prepared the Public for the change, and now that the value of money has returned to a comparatively moderate Point there is reason to believe that a revival of commercial activity will follow, notwith standing the unsettled state of political affa irs. Accommodation could be obtained Yesterday afternoon at 58 per cent. in expectation of the movement adopted to-day, and money being Plen tiful, while the demand is quiet, it is imagined that first-class bills will, before many days have elapsed, be negotiated on still lower terms. About £56,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. In addition to the Alliance with £126,000, and the Southampton with £86,000, which are now due, t he following vessels are stated to have left Aus tralia for England, viz., the Copenhagen with 4204,824, Empress of the Seas, £20,160; Owen Glendower, £56,628 ; Kleber, £35,488 ; Kent, £104,216; Marco Polo, £26,280; and the Peru, pith £58,248. The Ellora, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay,. Wdl Convey £45,900 in gold and £100,635 in silver. The suspension of two country banking firms Messrs. announced yesterday afternoon—viz., of Pedder and Co., of the Old Bank, Preston, est ablished in 1776, and of Messrs. Barnes, Med- 1 13 7 ,, and Ansell, of the Faringdon and Wanta ge '4°l ; Which had a fixed issue of £8,977. Rather less animation prevailed in the Liver !°ol Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were 4 ' 4 4 The sales were 10,000 bales. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and L ombardo-Venetian Railway for the week ending I st inst., showed an increase of £2,254 compared With last year. The Market for Public Securities which improved Yesterday afternoon, on the supposition that the , t ate of discount would be reduced, exhibited a fur- Jir t upward tendency to-day, when the movement a ctually took place, but sales have since been effected, and a slight reaction has occurred. Con -s°lB for transfer have been 91i a and 918 a ; for the i keount 92 to 921, and 911 92. The New 3 per ants. and the Reduced are firm at 901 ; but Bank , 'teek has receded to 227 ; India ditto to 220 ; ditto Per Cent. Rupee Paper to 931 ; and ditto 5/ per Ce nt. to 99; ; Exchequer Bills have improved to 6s ' and Is. dis. The dealings in Foreign Securities have been ex ceedingly restricted, and prices show little varia tion, Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 71 ex. div. ; ditto 1858 , 53/ 54 ; Mexican are flat at 231 ; but Danish are steady at 823.

The statue of the late Sir HenrylHavelock erected la Trafalgar-square was uncovered yesterday. The artist, Mr. Behnes, has a deservedly high reputa tion ; but those who have formed their estimate of his Powers from such a work as the statue of Sir William Follett—one of the finest in Westminster Abbey, and combining in a remarkable degree Perfect naturalness with the dignity peculiar to sculpture, will be forced to confess that even he is tot destined to take away from the noblest site in Europe the reproach of being the chosen home of exquisite dulness and stilted mediocrity. His repre sentation of Havelock is one of those uninteresting statues with which London is crowded, and of Which we have nothing to say except that we never look at them twice, never think of them, never care to remember them. They are not always bad— they often show great intelligence, taste, and in dustry—they have all some good points; but generally, if they excite any positi ve f ee li ng i n our minds, it is a wish that some happy chance may relieve us of the greater part of our street statuary. The worst fault of the Havelock statue is its un gainliness. The legs are too short for the body, and the figure, raised upon a huge pedestal, seems to any who takes a near view of it very topheavy. Poor in itself it adds to the poverty of Trafalgar equare. We have now begun to give this place the look of a einetery. We have been shutting 1 1p our graveyards and smoothing them over, and it would seem as if the authorities wished to make uP the loss by providing a counterfeit of Kensal green in the heart of the metropolis. In connexion With the statue of Havelock Mr. Behnes has . given us, n o t, i n d ee d, th e usua l broken column of the burying-grounds, b u t the next thing to it—a tree cut dow n . S ure l y , t h ere i s so me way of put ting a stop to these exhibiti on s of bad taste and feeble imagination ? But one hope remains — namely, that Behnes will no t f a il i n th e inscription. The incessant blundering which has been perpe trated in the inscriptions upon th e G uar d s ' Memo rial compels us to put in a word in favour of good English upon all such monuments. Oa the Guards' Memorial we observe that the inscription finally resolved upon is. " To the memory of 2,162 officers a nd men, &c.," from which it may be interred either that the men were all officers, or that the officers were not men. This, too, after all the criticisms to which the previous inscriptions were subjected !--7inies. Share t:U4 itock stock stock Railways. ,Belfast and Ballymena Bir.. Wol , and Str.

HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present-r Tho Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and ottieCPeers;) APPEAL-EWART ET. AL. V. COCHRANE ET. AL. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this., morning. _ Mr. Rolt, Q.C., resumed his argument for the respon dent. This is an appeal from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland, restraining the defendant from ob structing the sewer from carrying away the waste water from the plaintiff's tan -pits into the cesspool in the defen dant's garden at Newton Stewart. The plaintiff alleged that he had a right of easement or servitude over the de fendant's property. The defendant appealed. Mr. Muir (of the Scotch bar) followed on the same side. Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., was heard in reply. At the conclusion of the arguments the Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, and dismissed the appeal with costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) ALLEGED CHILD MURDER. Ann Reed, 18, was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant, by cutting its throat. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Jane Martin, of Howard-road, Hornsey, said the pri soner came to her house and complained of being ill. She was put to bed. She brought with her a box, and, on beinig asked for the keys, the prisoner said she had dropped theni, but they were afterwards found in the pocket of her dregs, and on going to the box the prisoner said, " Oh don't open the box." 'Witness did so, and then she discovered the dead body of a child. She sent for a medical man. Dr. James said, on arrival he found the prisoner in bed very ill. and suffering from hiving given birth to a child, which he afterwards found in a pie dish in a box. It was full grown, and had an abrasure over the left eye, which might have arisen from a fall. The throat of the child was also cut superficially on the left side, and deep on the right; it was cut to the bone. On the following day he held a post mortem examination, and his opinion was, that the child was born alive. There was an entire absence of blood in the body. The umbilical cord had not been tied, and hemorrhage had taken place in consequence. Death might have arisen from that circumstance, or from the cut in the throat. Other evidence having been given, The learned judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty of concealing the birth. The learned judge said the jury had taken a merciful view of the case—how merciful her own conscience could only tell. He then sentenced her to twelve months' im prisonment. The prisoner was carried in a state of insensibility from the dock. THE CHARGE OF EMBZZLEMENT BY A COMMON COUNCILMAN. Richard Bache, 68, merchant, for many years manager to Messrs. Tull's Rope and Hemp Factory, Fenchurch street, was placed in the dock, charged with embezzling money, the property of his employer. There were no less than thirteen indictments against the prisoner. He pleaded not guilty. In the course of the morning the witne s s e s were in formed that they need not remain in attendance, as the case would not be taken that day. ANOTHER CHARGE OF CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. Emma Papworth was indicted for unlawfully concealing the birth of her child. The prisoner was only seventeen, and resided with her mother at Mile•end, and the body of the child was some time after discovered in a box. Mr. Cooper made a very feeling appeal on behalf of the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The learned Judge said it pained him very much to pass any sentence in this case, as there were mitigating circum stances in it ; yet he could not allow the prisoner to escape all punishment. He then sentenced her to two months' imprisonment without hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT. John Robinson Gibson was indicted for embezzling and stealing the sum of £l2 165., and divers other moneys, the property of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The facts of the case, which was proceeding when we went to press, have been reported fully in Ike Sun. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY OF A GOLD WATCII.--JOIUI Mur•• ray Stewart, a young man, who gave the address 8, Cottage place, Vauxhall, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another in stealing a gold watch, valued £2O, the property of Mr. William Alexander Hunt, 24, Jermyn- street. The prosecutor said that, about 12 the previous night, he was within a few doors of his own house, 24, Jermyn street, when a female seized him, and would not allow her self to be shaken off. While trying to free himself from her the prisoner cams up and asked him the way to the Pad dington-station, and at that moment the female ran away, and he missed from his waistcoat pocket his gold watch of the value of £2O. He then seized the prisoner, who was seen by his housekeeper talking to the female a few minutes previously, when he became very 'abusive towards him. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said he had seen his watch safe three minutes before when he wound it up at his friend's house in Duke-street. Prisoner—l know no more of what lam charged with than the babe unborn. The female left you (prosecutor) the moment I came up. Prosecutor—Yes, and my watch too. The prisoner gave a false address. Prisoner—As to abusing you, that was because of the ungentlemanly way in which you held me. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. THE GREAT SILT( ROBBER?.—This morning large pla cards were issued offering a reward of £6O for the appre hension of James Hunter, late of the Red Deer publichouse, Cambridge Heath -road, Bethnal-green ; and Frederick Chas. Agg, late of the Crown publichouse, St. John-street-road, near Sadler's Wells Theatre, who were concerneJ in the robbery of ten bales of silk, value £l,OOO. Hunter and Agg disposed of the stolen silk to the silk throwster, John Newton, at Derby, and their share of the plunder was a check for £220. Hunter is described as being 45 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, fresh complexion, eyes dark (full), hair and whiskers dark—turning grey, dressed in dark clothes, and sometimes wears a brown coat, Agg is about 35 years old, 5 feet 5 inches high, fair complexion, hair and whiskers (under chin), light, delicate appearance, dressed in black clothes and black hat, or Scotch cap with plaid band. Mr. Mumford, the superintendent of the St. Katharine Dock Company's police, after making the an nouncement that rewards had been offered for the appre hension of Agg and Hunter, said a further reward of £2O had been offered by the company to any person for infor mation as to whom the persons were who drove the light one-horse van on the night of the 15th March last, con taining the ten bales of stolen silk to No. 2, Hope-street, Spitalfielde. Police-sergeant Copping, No. 3 K, a detective officer, made a very important communication respecting Peter Debock, arrested at Derby with three £lOO notes, (received of Newton in his possession. After the four prisoners were remanded yesterday evening, Mr. Angell, his solici tor, asked that a gold watch and chain and two sovereigns, taken from Debock by the Derby police, should be restored to him. Mr. Humphreys, jun., the solicitor, made no ob jection to this, and the watch was abou b t to be restored to Debock, when he (Copping) stopped the delivery, for he believed the watch and the gold albert chain attached to it were stolen. It was a gold hunting watch, a stop watch, with gold dial, and jewelled in 8 holes. The maker's name was John Johnson, Liverpool. The watch and chain were now at Stepney station-house, adjoining the Court. Cop ping added that Debock had been known to be a receiver of any description of stolen property for many years. REPLIES TO ESSAYS AND REVlEWS.—Besides the volume announced some weeks ago as in preparation by Mr. Mansell, Dr. Thomson, and other gentlemen, Messrs. J. H. and Jas. Parker are about to publish a similar col lection of replies to " Essays and Reviews" by the Rev. Dr. Goulburn, the Rev. Dr. Heurtley, the Rev. Dr. Irons, the Rev. H. J. Rose, and the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth. The Bishop of Oxford is to write a preface. THE BLACK PRINCE.—This vessel, at present lying at Greenock, has now been fitted with six boilers, and two more are ready for shipment. The boilers were all de livered to Government in June last, and it seems the delay rests with the Admiralty. The plating of the ship is going on steadily, and four of the seven strakes on each side have been finished. About 400 men are now engaged at work of different descriptions on board, but it is not expected that the vessel will be ready for sea for many months.—Scotsman. SALE OF THE GARRICK THEATRE.—Yesterday, Mr. C. J. Baker put up to auction, at the Auction Mart, the Garrick Theatre, which is situated in Leman-street, White chapel, and which has been rebuilt about six years. There was very little competition for the property, which was de scribed by the auctioneer as being capable of being fitted up as a music-hall, or as a circus, for the display of equestrian exhibitions, there being a circle under the pit. He stated that the house would contain 200 persons in the boxes, 800 in the stalls and pit, and 600 in the gallery, and that it lot at £6OO a year. Independent of theatrical entertainments, the theatre realised £l2O a year for religious Sunday ser vices. There were three saloons; the proscenium was 21 feet in width, and the stage 34 feet in depth. The property was leasehold, and was held for a term, of which fifty-six years were unexpired, at a ground-rent of £25 a year, and '42 in lieu of land-taz, It was knocked down for 41,600, GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF CANADA COMPANY. MEETING THIS DAY. A meeting of the shareholders was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the reports and general statement of accounts for the half-years ending 31st July, 1860, and 31st Jan., 1861, and also thC report of the committee of investigation into the reply of the direc tors, preparatory to its submission to the legal meeting to be ).geld in Canada. • Mr. GILL occupied ,the chair. The report,:which has been published in The sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said no resolution, passed that day, would be legal, and could only be taken as an expression of 'the opinion of the shareholders until they had been con firmed by the meeting to be held in Canada. The traffic during the last half-year was £45,000, and the shares which stood in April at £l2 15s. now stood at £ll 10s., ore depre ciation of the total share capital of a quarter of a million. Tb.is was one of the results of the committee of investiga - don, a circumstance which ho trusted would be held up as a beacon by all companies appointing such committees. (Hear.) The committee had reported that a million ster ling had been misappropriated or wasted, but it was a reck less charge, made without the slightest foundation. In con sequence of the:remunerative working of theline the directors *ould now be able to recommend the payment of dividends. He concluded by moving the reception of the report. Mr. Lao SCHUSTER said, after reading the report of the committee of investigation, and the reply of the directors, he felt that the directors deserved their confidence. He read the report with care, because his predecessor at the Brigh ton Railway was one of the persons accused. He had seen Mr. Laing but once since ho quitted the company ; and for the many years he had acted as his deputy, he had never seen anything calculated to create the most distant suspi cion that he did anything except for the advantage of. the company. • (Hear, hear.) He seconded the motion. Mr. CANNAN moved as an amendment, "That the pro posal of the directors that a dividend of three per cent. per annum for the half-year be confirmed, and with that excep tion the consideration of the directors' half-yearly report be adjourned, and that the report of the committee of investi gation and the rejoinder of the directors be received." The speaker then entered at great length into the various state ments made by the committee of investigation. Some discussion having taken place as to whether the amendment could be legally put, and it having been decided to proceed with it, f Mr. FILDER said he readily seconded the amendment, and he hoped the meeting would adopt it en masse. Mr. J. B. SMITH characterised the report of the com mittee as one that had done harm to the company rather than good. The committee had altogether abandoned their first charge and had confined themselves to having a hit at an absent man and a personal charge against himself, by stating that his evidence in 1861 differed materially from that given in 1856. He defended his conduct and conten ded that many of the statements were entirely devoid of truth, especially that which stated that Mr. Laing was in the habit, for nine months after he ceased to be a director or shareholder, of attending the board of directors in order to obtain a settlement of Mr. Wythes' claims. If the committee of investigation had confined themselves in the inquiry to the actual working of the company, without attempting to find out " mare's nests" they would have done some good, but he felt certain the result of their labours would end in a very expensive abortion. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. BEATTIE said if a Committee of Investigation were appointed he thought the company would benefit by such a step. With respect to Mr. Laing he knew that that gentleman never advocated the claims of Mr. Wythes. He might have recommended concessions whilst he was a director, but with the ultimate settlement he had nothing whatever to do. He had hoped that the com mittee of investigation, when they commenced their labour, would go into the matter with a determination to help the company through their difficulty; but he was afr . aid the result of their labour proved that they had looked at all things with a jaundiced eye. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WA.TKINS condemned many of the observations that had been made on the conduct of Mr. Laing, who being in India, was unable to defend, himself ; he believed the statements had been made by political opponents. (No, no, and disapprobation and cries of Withdraw.) He insisted they were bound to pursue a course which would improve their property, and appoint a new staff and board of directors. Alderman DAKIN condemned the conduct of the direc tors for their impolitic conduct and want of prudence. Mr. BRIDGES said some gentlemen wanted him to say something about the £4,000 he had received from the De troit and Milwaukee Company. He had hoped the explana tion in his letter to the directors, which was in the hands of the shareholders, would have been sufficient. All he could say was he received the £4,000 from the Detroit Company for services which they believed he had rendered them. He de fended his conduct generally as being only for the interests of the company, and by that conduct he would stand or fall. (Cheers.) Mr. BRAITHWAITE said, looking at the position of the Buffalo and other railways, they ought to congratulate themselves they were in no worse position than they were. Mr. SALISBURY condemned the un-English conduct of the committee in bringing charges against Mr. Laing in his absence, and when he was unable to defend himself. (Cries of " The charges are withdrawn.") Several other gentlemen endeavoured to address the meeting amid loud cries of " Divide, divide," and general confusion. vV Colonel Sir HENRY BAYLEY said, having read the report of the committee, the directors' report, and the rejoinder of the committee, and all that he had heard that day, he had come to the resolution that if the meeting came to a resolution against the directors they would be commit ting suicide. (Cheers and laughter.) After some further remarks, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which was negatived by a large majority. The original resolution was then put and carried, that the report of the directors be received. A dividend of 3 per cent. on the half-year ending 31st January last was then declared. Mr. SYDNEY SMITH moved the re election of the chair man, directors (Mr. Lance and Mr. Waite), and auditors. Payment of the expenses of the Committee of Investiga tion, after some discussion, was agreed to. A vote of thanks to the Committee of Investigation was negatived. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting was dissolved. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. hit BRIM. WEEKLY AVERAGES.

That no bill confirming any provisional order of the Board of Health, or authorising any inclosure of land under special report of the Inclosure Commissioners for England and Wales, or for confirming any scheme of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, shall be read a second time after the 9th day of July, and that when a bill shall, pass this house with amendments, these orders shall not • apply to any new bill sent up from the House of Commons which the Chairman of Committees shall report to the house is substantially the same as the bill amended. The noble lord said he had not brought forward the subject with respect to public bills, because there was a committee sitting on the subject. Earl GRANVILLE said he had not the slightest objec tion to the proposition with respect to private business. The noble lord had exercised a wise discretion with respect to public bills, as there was a committee appointed to con sider the subject. The motion was agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned.

C. LEWIS said that he had addressed a commu nication to the inspectors of factories askingif there were any necessity for increasing sub-inspectors, which was not of an official character to be laid before the house. He had not yet received a reply to that communication. THE CONSERVATION OF THE THAMES. Mr. LOCKE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the annual return of the Conservators of the Thames would be made, according to the provisions of the Thames Conservancy Act of 1857 ? Sir G. C. LEWIS 'said that as the return of the conser vators of the Thames was not made to the Home Depart ment, he was not in a position to answer the question. WOODEN VESSELS. On the motion of Lord C. PAGET for going into Com mittee of Supply on the Navy Estimates, Mr. LIND SAY moved the following resolutions as amend ments :-1. That it is expedient to defer any further expen diture on the construction or conversion of wooden line-of battle ships; 2. That it is inexpedient to incur, during the present year, the expenditure requisite for the completion of the line-of-battle ships now on the stocks ; and that, during the present year it is not expe dient to commence the construction of any wooden vessels which carry guns on more than one deck. 3. That it is inexpedient, without further experience, to sanction the expenditure of any money for the purpose of adapting her Majesty's dockyards for the construction of iron vessels." The hon. member, after some preliminary observations, entered into a comparison between the navies of Fiance and England, in order to show that the appre hensions entertained by some persons relative to the maritime power of the former were unfounded. France had 37 line-of-battle ships, and England had 67. England had also 20 line of steam battle ships more than all the other Powers in the world together, and as regarded screw frigates, France had only 43, while this country pos sessed 52. With respect to the large iron vessels, this country was superior to France, for the latter had only one , large iron vessel launched—namely, La Gloire. At the same time, there were two that would be ready to be launched in France in the course of the year, and three more were in course of construction. But in this country the Warrior and Black Prince had been launched, which were each double the power of the La Gloire, and there were five more building. The hon. member then proceeded to argue that it would be most inexpedient to construct any more wooden ships of war at present, and en tered into various statistics in reference to the ex pense of France and England as regarded their respective navies. He said that the expenses of the navy in this country had risen within a few years from some• thing over £4,000,000 to £12,822,000 last year. Supposing they struck off £2,000,000 from that amount, which went for items not indicated in the French navy estimates, they would still have a sum for their navy which was more than double that of France, which latter did not exceed £5,000,000. They were this year called on to vote £12,029,000 for navy estimates, and for what purpose were they to expend that large amount when they no longer required to build a fleet, and had more ves sels of war than all the navies of the world contained ? And he asked most particularly what necessity there was for all the timber stated to be required for the navy ? He next adverted to the superior economy that prevailed in the management of naval affairs in France as compared to this country, which was considerably in favour of the former. 'With respect to the construction of any more iron vessels at present, he contended that there was no adequate facility for the construction of such vessels in her M ajewty's dockyards, and he cited the report of the Dockyard Com mission in support of this statement. That report appeared to be prepared with great care, and it stated that in her Majesty's dockyards the building of iron ships could not be carried on with efficiency. It was intended, by constructing ' them in their own dockyards, that they would be able to keep a check on the accounts of contractors ; ' but the report stated that that object had utterly failed of accomplishment, for the mode of keeping the led accounts was practic a lly of no value. He:con tended that they were worse th an wor thl ess, f or th e y mis as to the am oun t th ey NI ere pay i ng f or the c onstruction muse of the! these vessels, and he proceeded to show that thap account that if they could without impairing was unnecessarily large. He concluded by ex pressing a hope i or endangering its maritime supremacy, they would the efficiency of the navy con sent to the reduction of the navy estimates by /1,000,000 or £1,500,000, Their constituents expected that they [would do what was in their power to effect necest ;ary re. trenchment in the public expenditure,, and he had to 'o much confidence in the house to apprehend that hon. m embers ' would neglect their duty. (Hear, hear.) - Sir M. PETO seconded the amendments, and refel.red to the experiments made to test the efficiency, which, after failure at first, fully established their superiority over wooden vessels of - war. France had discontinued build ing the latter ; and from the new modes of projec tiles which had been invented, it was not im probable they would be found useless, as they might be destroyed with facility, as was shown at Sinope. He then alluded' to the statements previously related to the house by his hon. friend (Mr. Lindsay) which had been:made to him by the Minister ofMarineasto theactivity prevailing in the French do c ky ar d s had b een cons i dera b ly exaggerated . ' From inquiries which a friend of his own had made, there was no doubt that the statement of the French Minister was correot. i LEFT SPEAKING.] EPSOM RACKS—(This' Day.)

" To Lieutenant-Colonel Viscount Ranelagh, command ing the Artillery and Rifle Volunteer Forces assembled at Brighton on Easter Monday, 1861. " To you, my lord, as the volunteer from whom -ema nated the idea of the glorious display of volunteers on Mon day last, we feel are due the best and most sincere thanks of every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private who was under arms, and under your orders, on that day. " To Colonel Lindsay and your staff, who aided in per fecting and carrying out the arrangements and mantsuvres, our best thanks are also due. " We feel that the confidence you placed in the volun teers, and the confidence the volunteers placed in you, was fully justified by the result of the day's proceedings. " We beg individually to offer you our heartfelt acknow ledgment of the judgment and perseverance displayed by you under very trying circumstances, and to thank you for having afforded us an opportunity of earning for ourselves the high position in which the address of General Sir James Scarlett has placed every volunteer who was then under your command." (Signed by the officers and men of the various corps.) " 7, New Burlington street, April 9, 1861. "Dear Colonel M oorsom,—Pray convey to the gentlemen who have signed the address you have been kind enough to forward to me my sincere acknowledgments. lam certain that Colonel Lindsay and my staff will feel equally gratified, I will not disguise from you that, in consequence of the course taken in some quarters, aad by a particular paper,' I awaited the result with some anxiety (be assured from no want of confidence in the volunteers), lest any of the acci dents which all experiments are open to might have given occasion of triumph to our opponents. While, therefore, you and those you represent are good enough to express your thanks to myself, Colonel Lindsay, and the staff. I cannot but feel that it is we who ought to feel grateful for the admirable manner in which those in whom we felt we might confide brought us through the ordeal. - " I need hardly say how much this support has confirmed the attachment I have felt from the commencement for the volunteer body.—Believe me, dear Colonel Moorsom, truly yours, (Signed) " RANELARH. " To Colonel Moorsom." THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON " ESSAYS AN.D REVIEWS." His G followingr arceepl thereply t 0 A a r Archbishop address b op of York which h ashasbeen ee made n t the r ans. mated to him by a large body of his clergy : " At a season when some of our brethren in the ministry have been engaged, to our great sorrow and surprise, in a work calculated to undermine the foundations of the Christian faith, it is a great satisfaction to me to receive the assurance of your unabated attachment to the doctrine and discipline of our Church, and the renewal of your promise to endeavour to banish all erroneous and strange doc trines contrary to God's Holy Word. That your moral sense should have been shocked at such a spectacle as the attempt to disseminate principles subversive of our belief in the Divine origin of Christianity and the inspiration of the Bible, by those who hold places of trust and influence in the Church of England, is most natural, and in these, your feelings, I entirely participate. You will not wonder, then, that when I discovered in the volume of Essays and Reviews arguments which were wont to be the weapons of the avowed adversaries of our religion used, and their use countenanced by clergy men of our Church, when I read the denial of the in spiration of Holy. Scripture, of the credibility of the miracles, and of the existence of the prophecies of the Messiah's coming, in its pages ; when I met with the declaration that the Bible is to be sub jected to each man's reason and conscience as its supreme interpreter, so that it can no longer be the rule of faith and the guide of conscience; and lastly, when I found in it a fresh claim of right to sign the Articles and assent to the Liturgy under a non natural interpretation of them, I should have consi dered silence culpable, and have felt it my boun den duty to concur in the declaration lately signed by the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England, for which you tender me your united thanks. That the common sense and common honesty of the people of England will also condemn such conduct on the part of ministers of our church, I entertain no doubt, and I feel equally confident that before long the several articles in that volume will meet with their due refutation, especially as there are so very few of the arguments adverse to the truths of the Bible and the doctrines it contains which have not, long since, received their full answer. I trust that it will please our Heavenly Father to overrule for good this unex pected assault upon the truths of revelation, and such will certainly be its issue as regards ourselves if it lead each of us once more to prove the founda tions on which our faith rests, and to cleave with firmer hold than ever to the substa nce of our belief ; if it urge us to preach the doctrines of the everlast ing Gospel with increased fervour and devotion, for the sake of that adorabl e Saviour, on whom this volume would leave the sti g ma of claiming to have worked miracles which He never wrought, and of being the subject of prophecies which never,foretold His advent."
