Their Serene Highnesses Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar have arrived there to pass the Christmas with their illustrious relative. As was the case last year, the poor of that neighbour hood have partaken of her Majesty's extended boun ties, having been supplied with many comforts to ren der this festive period of the year one of enjoyment. Her Majesty's health continues satisfactory. The Duke of Rutland has a numerous circle as sembled at Belvior Castle, Leicestershire, participating in the pleasures of Christmas. In addition to the Marquis of Granby, Lords John and George Man ners, Lady Adeliza Manners, Lord Charles Manners, &c., Earl and Lady Katherine Jermyn, Lord Fores ter, and Mr. A. and Lady Elizabeth Drummond have joined the party. The Archbishop of York is at Bishopsthorpe, nett. York, surrounded by a select family circle. Sir • J. V. B. and Lady Johnstone and Miss Johnstone are there. His Grace, in the beginning of the week, caused his usual bounties to be distributed amongst the necessitous families of Bishopsthorpe and York, and by his instructions the poor families on the family estate in Oxfordshire have not been forgotten. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, at Alnwick Castle, have observed the customary bene volence to the numerous aged and infirm poor, by a considerate distribution of excellent cheer, in beef, bread, &c. It is generally calculated that above 100 poor families are relieved every Christmas, besides other extensive charities in the shape f warm clothing, which is liberally distributed to the deserving poor. The Marquis of Anglesey has a numerous family party met at Beaudesert : the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, Earl and Countess Cadogan, and Ladies Augusta and Honoria Cadogan ; the Earl of Uxbridge and Ladies Paget ; Lord Alfred Paget, Lord George Paget, &c. &c., have arrived there for the Christmas holidays. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster have the Earl and Countess of Grosvenor and family, &c., passing the Christmas at Eaton Hall, Cheshire, that holiday keing kept up at that splendid seat in the true old English style. On Monday last the Marquis and Marchioness made their annual visit to the Grosvenor schools at Cheshire, established thirty years ago, by the munificence of the Noble Marquis, for the education of children of both sexes. After the customary examination, at which the Bishop of Chester, and many of the local clergy and gentry were present, and an award of prizes by the Marquis and Marchioness, the whole of the sch o la rs were bountifully regaled with roast beef and plum pudding. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston's party, at Broadlands, assembled on Monday and Tuesday last. Lord and Lady Ashley have arrived there from the Earl of Shaftesbury's seat in Dorsetshire, and the Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, Lady Hol land, &c., have arrived from town.

The AMERICAN MAN in MINIATURE has returned to London and is now holding his PUBLIC LEVEES at the Gal. lery, in Suffolk.street, Pall-mall. The General has been visiting the principal towns in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has met with unprecedented success. Whilst in Edinburgh the General was presented with a beautiful Highland dress, of the Royal Stuart Tartan, manufactured by Messrs. Meyers and Mortimer, in which he will appear at each exhibition, in addition to his Citizen, Napoleon, and Court dress. Hours of Exhibition from Eleven to One, Three to Five, and from Seven to Nine. Doors open half an hour previous. Admission (regardless of age), One Shilling. The General's Miniature Equipage will be exhibited daily from Four to Half.past Five, and from Eight to Half.past Nine, P.M. at 121, Pall-mall, at the trilling charge of Threepence, merely to defray the rent of the room. The goodness of the anchorage of the port of Spit head, hitherto obstructed by the wreck of the Edgar, was sufficiently proved by the circumstance of the Success frigate hulk and the two mooring lighters having been securely anchored there for six months last summer, though such very violent bales prevailed from time to time that it was often impossible for the men to work, and the communication with the shore was suspended ; but, though the anchoring ground of the Edgar may therefore be considered as good as that of the Royal George, yet the latter would be preferred for a man-of-war coming to Spit head, as it is nearer to the harbour and town of Portsmouth as well as to the dockyard, and con sequently more convenient than the former; but in the event of Spithead again becoming the rendezvous of a large British fleet, which must necessarily be the case sooner or later, the one would not be more im portant than the other. Upon the whole, the removal of these two wrecks from Spithead, which has cleared the whole of that excellent anchorage, and rendered it available for the use of the Royal Navy, may be allowed to be an im • portant national object, though it has been attended with greater difficulty, and a much greater expen diture of money, labour, and time, than was originally contemplated by the officer with whom the plan originated, and by whom it has been successfully carried into effect, after the incessant labour of five successive summers and part of another, under the auspices of the Lords of the Admiralty, and at the expense of that department, aided by the valuable services of officers and men supplied from the Royal Engineer Department by permission of the Master- General and Board of Ordnance, and of volunteers of the East India Company's Sappers and Miners. to w" ri indu e„ , he Pr i ; 5 re T igst the Jaen published, price 6d., THE SAFETY - of BRITAIN and the SUP PRESSION of SLAVERY.

In our former notices of the operations against the wreck of the Edgar we described all that had been done from the commencement in May last till the 23d of August, on which day two guns were sent up. We shall now continue our narrative to the end of Octo ber, when the diving, that had been carried on with the utmost vigour, five military divers generally and one naval diver often being employed, was discon tinued as a matter of necessity, though the sanguine expectation of recovering the whole of the guns that had been entertained at the beginning of the season was not realised. After the day before mentioned, the divers were occupied for a fortnight in getting up timber from the hull of the wreck, and the half-anchor creeper and rake were frequently drawn across the shoal in which it had been imbedded, whilst a couple of boats were employed in sweeping all round whenever the weather - permitted, i n or d er t o di scover th e re maining guns, if p oss ibl e . Thi s me th o d no t being so satisfactory as at first, when the re mains of the wreck and g uns w e re m ore ab un d an t, divers were afterwards sent down, one from each of the launches, to walk about the bottom in va rious directions to endeavour to discover guns, whilst the others were employed in getting up the timber of the hull. By this method several guns were ob tained ; but this also failing, a new system of sweeping by divers walking along the bottom occurred to Lieu tenant Barlow, which was tried for the first time on the 19th of September, and continued till the end of the season, whenever the weather permitted, the ar rangements being as follows :—Two guiding lines, each sixty fathoms in length, and twenty fathoms apart, were sunk parallel to each other, in the direc tion of the run of the tide, by means of pigs of ballast at their ends, to each of which a buoy and buoy-line were attached to mark its -position. Two divers, Corporal Jones, of the Royal, and Private Sticklen, of the East India Company's .Sappers and Miners, de scended each to his respective guilding-line, from a launch in which his air pump and attendants were placed, and moved along the bottom from west to east and back, or vice versa, according to the tide, parallel to one another, each holding in his near hand the end of a sweep rope and chain, which dragged along the bottom between them, whilst in his far hand he held the line that guided him in his course. At the same time the two launches above were warped along in the same direction as their respec spective divers, by whom their motions were regu lated according to preconcerted signals. This mode of sweeping was much more sensitive than the former, as any very small object, such as a stone or piece of wood, that would have escaped observation entirely in sweeping from boats, was immediately felt by the divers, who made the signal for the launches to stop, and then walked towards it until they met at the spot. This progress was very fatiguing, as it took them an hour to sweep from one end of their guiding lines to the other, though a distance only of sixty fathoms, as before mentioned. The second day that they carried on this process those two excellent divers fell in with a leaden scupper of the Edgar, and a sinker or large mooring-stone, of one of the old wreck-buoys, though at a distance of ninety fathoms to the northward of the position of the shoal in which the hull was imbedded. On the 23d of September, whilst sweepi.ig to the northward of the Success frigate hulk, Corporal Jones slung another buoy stone ; and in the evening he was employed about '.an hour aftei dark in slinging and eending up what proved to be one of the anchors of the Edgar, hav ing the two palms and the stock broken off, so that it nearly resembled the form of the broad arrow marked on Government stores. The ex treme distance between the ends of the broken arms was a little more than five feet, whilst the dia , meter of the shank varied from about 8 to 10i inches; its length, as measured from the broken end to the crown, being 6 feet 2 inches. This curious relic, found about 120 fathoms to the north and eastward of the same shoal, shows the violence with which it must have been propelled by the explosion of the ship's magazines ; but this was proved in a still more striking manner on the 28th of the same month, when, after having swept before day, by a beautiful moonlight, without success, Corporal Jones and his assistant, on resuming the same process in the fore noon tide, sent up what proved to be a large frag ment of an 18-pounder gun, 7 feet in length, which they found about 160 fathoms to the north and east ward of the position of the hull, whilst the first group or nest of guns of the Edgar, as the seamen termed them, nearly twenty in number, had been found 80 fathoms to the southward of the same spot; so that, making allowance for the difference of bear ing, this isolated gun, launched into the air from the larboard side of the wreak of the Edgar, must have fallen at the distance of 200 fathom's from the group of guns that were thrown from her starboard side. From that time nothing of importance occurred till the sth of October, when privates Sticklen and Herbert, of the East India Company's service, who were employed sweeping about thirty fathoins south-east of the position of the hull, discovered and sent up two guns, a 12-pounder and a 32-pounder. Next day Corporal Jones and private Sticklen sent up one iron 12-pounder and a fragment of another seven feet in length, and the tide ran so strong during part of the time they were employed about this frag ment, that private Sticklen was obliged to hold Cot poral Jones to prevent him from being carried away, whilst the latter was digging round it with a spade, and afterwards slinging it, which they did not ac complish until half-past eight o'clock in the evening, after having remained nearly four hours under water without intermission. On the day following they were equally successful, sending up a 12-pounder and a 6-pounder, and on the 11th Corporal Jones sent up another 12-pounder. At this time the divers gene rally worked three slack tides, as in the middle of summer, so that they were often out before daylight and when anything interesting occurred, they conti nued their work long after dark. The weather had frequently been so tempestuous as to oblige them to suspend their labours, but particularly on Monday, the 14th of October, when a violent gale set into the har bour, accompanied by such a swell, that Major-Gene ral Pasley, who came from London on that day to inspect the work, was obliged to return in the even ing, without having been able to get out to Spithead in his boat. Next morning the weather was still too boisterous for sweeping, but the diving over the hull was resumed, and three slack tides were worked with great zeal. This day her Majesty passed alongside of the Success frigate hulk in her steam yacht on her way to visit the French war steamer Gomer, which had anchored near the same spot ; and as this took place during the interval between the first two slack tides, when the men employed in these operations were not at work, they saluted her Majesty and Prince Albert with hearty and loyal cheers, but not with msnned yards, as the Success frigate, though cele brated in our naval history in former times, had neither mast nor yard at this period. On the 18th of October Corporal Jones was sent for with his diving apparatus to recover the mooring bridles by which the Gorner had been anchored in Portsmouth harbour, which by some accident had gone to the bottom on being cast off when that ship got under weigh. These he slung and sent up in half an hour, without even losing one of the regular slack tides at Spithead, though the usual mode of sweeping for them with boats, under the direction of the Master Attendant of the Dockyard, had been repeatedly tried and failed. This is one arnontrat many proofs of uti lity of helmet diving. On the 28th of October, Major-General Pasley paid his last visit of inspection to Spithead, and find ing that the divers could not go on much longer, as the water was becoming too cold for them to work with comfort, he directed Lieutenant Barlow to con tinue the sweeping for guns only one day more, after which he was to go into harbour and break up the whole establishment ; which was done accord ingly. By this time the great mass of woodwork of the hull had been entirely removed, together with the greater part of the sheel in which it was embedded, the general height of which hal been reduced more than ten feet. Amongst the large timbers brought up were several pieces of the keel, measuring in all 72 feet 3 inches, out of 124 feet, its original length. The quantity of powder exploded during the whole season in small charges, placed by the divers and fired by the voltaic battery, was 6,222 lbs. A few of the largest charges consisted of about 130 lbs. each. None of the others exceeded 50 lbs.; many were smaller. After the Success frigate and the two mooring lighters had been towed into harbour, the stores were delivered into the dockyard, and on Saturday, the 2d of November, Lieutenant Barlow conducted his de tachment of Sappers and Miners to London by the South-Western Railway, when ce h e t oo k th e Royal and Miners to Woolwich by steam-boats, and sent the East India Company's men by the Eastern- Counties Railway to their dep6t, at Worley, in Essex, the same evening ; both parties thus performing in one day a journey which, in former times, would have re • quired at least five or six days' march. On the Ist of September, Quartermaster Germain and a second party of volunteer seamen from her Ma jesty's ship Excellent had been sent out to Spithead to practise diving, which they did till the end of the season, under the direction of Lieutenant Barlow, and gave no less satisfaction by their zeal, good conduct, and improvement, than the first party of men from the same ship had done. Besides Lieutenant Fair holme, , Lieutenant Peel, R.N., also practised season, before he sailed for South America divingel i byr e i Ea Lieutenant Excellent, the thisl l ent e o 1.1 gwood, as had previously b Barlow himself. Major- General Pasley, who was prevented by his duties as Government Inspector-General of Railways from giving so much personal attention to the operations at Spithead as in former years, was so ably seconded by Lieutenant Barlow, the executive engineer, and all the men employed, whether Sappers and Miners, r i ggers , or naval pensioners, of whom that officer reported most favourably , and the service was so ef fi c i en tly promoted by the aid afforded from the dockyard, by order of the Admiral Superintendent, that the General had no cause to regret his own ab sence from the scene of action. The Master-General and Board of Ordnance have approved of a portion of the guns recovered from the Edgar being preserved as memorials, at the principal ordnance stations, and also at the East India Com pany's depot, at Warley , a nd at their military semi nary at Addiscombe, the guns having been recovered by military divers of the Sappers and Miners of both een done services; and the Admiralty have approved of pieces of the keel, &c., both of the Royal George and the Edgar, being preserved in her Majesty's dockyards, or in public museums. The original armament of the Edgar was 70 pieces of ordnance, of which 54 whole guns and fi ve frag ments have been recovered in the course of Major- General Pasley's operations, each of the latter being usually the breech part of the gun, broken off in front of the trunnions, and therefore larger and heavier than the corresponding part of the same gun at the bottom. The first guns of the Edgar lay in groups or masses near the same spot, and there was no trouble in find ing them by the common process of sweeping from boats, but the last guns were at such great distances apart, and discovered with so much difficulty, that if we were not possessed of an authentic account of the number, it would be natural to conclude that all were got up; instead of which it is known, from the records of the Ordnance Department, that 11 whole guns and five fragments are still at the bottom ; and, judg ing by those already found, none of which were en tirely buried under the mud, it is to be presumed that the guns and fragments which still remain must also lie nearly on the level of the surface of the bottom; and, consequently, though the chances are perhaps 1,000 to 1 against the contingency, yet, however im probable, it is net impossible that a man-of-war's an chor being cast atthis part of Spithead mightstrike one of them. A doubt, therefore, naturally suggested itself, whether the safety of a ship would thereby be endan gered, which having been submitted to the Lords 9f the Admiralty by Major-General Pasley, in his report of the concluding operation of the season, as a naval ques tion upon which he would not presume to give an opinion himself, but upon which it would depend whether his operations should finally close, or be re sumed next summer on a small scale, their Lordships decided that the anchorage at Spithead might nor be considered safe, in spite of those guns. In fact every man-of-war is provided with more .anchors than one, so that if the first, in being cast at this part of Spit- THE FRENCH CHURCH. The history of the Church of France, since the period of the great Revolution to the present day, is fraught with instruction to all who would learn by what human means the power of religion may most effectually be extended and established. Its various vicissitudes, whether of deep depression or transitory influence, alike impress on us a conviction of the deep and indestructible influence of Christian faith, when left to its own unaided operation on the human heart. But they also show us that the most effectual ob stacle to this good influence is generally created by the ambition and errors of the clergy, and by their being permitted to interfere in political concerns. The vitality of Christianity was never more signally exhibited than in the stronghold which it was found to have on the French nation after the long proscrip tion and complete spoliation to which it had been sub jected during the Revolution. After its churches had for ten years been desecrated, its priesthood driven into exile, its services discontinued, its holy days blotted out of the calendar, the French peasant was still found retaining the faith of his fathers and his childhood. A deep sense of this fact induced Napoleon to re-establish the Catholic Church as one of the institutions of the country. But it suited neither his love of power nor his deference for the feelings of revolutionary France, to restore to the priesthood the splendour or power which they had enjoyed under the old regime. During his reign, therefore, their lot was one of modest competence and political obscurity. In retirement they devoted them selves to the labours of their sacred calling ; and, in spite of the force of recent prejudices and recollections, they succeeded in recovering a considerable amount of influence over the national mind. The Restoration came, and the first act of the re stored Bourbons was to re-establish the ancient con nexion between the altar and the throne. Wealth and honours were heaped on the clergy of the Estab lished Church ; and they were not only called upon to bear an ostensible part in the ceremonies of the Court and the councils of the State, but a more substan tial authority was secured to them by the secret in fluence which they were allowed to exercise in all politi cal matters. From the bishops and confessors who guided the secret deliberations of the " Pavillon Marian," down to the curate of the remotest village, the clergy became the chief agents of polical intrigue, and distributed almost the entire patronage of the Crown. From the hour in which power and importance were thus conferred on them, is to be dated the total and almost immediate loss of all hold on the na tional mind. Thoughout France the clergy be came the objects of general distrust and hatred ; and, what was worse,. the obloquy which they had called down on their own heads was extended to the religion which they taught. From 1815 to 1830 a feeling of irreligion or deism pervaded France ; and while the higher literature of the country exhibited the most marked re-action against the philosophy of the eighteenth century, the creed of the people ex hibited the fanatical infidelity of the period of the Revolution. The Revolution of 1830 was celebrated throughout France as a triumph of the people, not less over priestly influence than over arbitrary power. The very existence of the national church was for some time in danger ; and it purchased its safety only by the abandonment of all political power, and of a considerable portion of its income. The priests, ter rified by the ill-will of the people, and opposed to the reigning dynasty, had no alternative but that of retiring from politics, and applying their undi vided energies to their sacred duties. From that time until within a very recent period, the growth of their influence was as rapid and as steady as its effects were wholesome. A religious spirit appeared to extend itself throughout all classes of the com munity ; the tone of scepticism and mockery be came unfashionable ; a respect for religion was professed even where belief was not avowed; the churches began to be filled ; and it was a novel sub ject of triumph to the clergy of Paris that even in that capital of civilization and dissipation, at least half of the congregation in every church was composed of men. A sudden taste for building, repairing, and beautifying churches struck the eyes of every traveller as indicative of this remarkable change in the national feeling. Nor were there wanting to the clergy some indica tions of returning favour on the part of the Court as well as of the people. The Queen of the French fur thered the efforts of the clergy with the zeal of a firm and ardent faith ; and it became apparent that the King himself was animated by a sincere conviction that by showing favour to the clergy he might pro mote the interests of his dynasty. In fine, a year ago the state of France afforded the most satisfactory prospect to the friends of religion. There could be no doubt of the existence of a more extensive and whole some state of religious feeling than had prevailed since the revolution of 1789 ; and the most sanguine hopes might reasonably have been entertained that, by the continued zeal and moderation of the clergy, the good work which they had so successfully begun might be carried to a happy issue. A year ago ! It was just a year ago that the incon ceivable rashness of the heads of the French clergy destroyed in a few days the labours of the past and the hopes of the future. Elated by the palpable evi dences of the extended influence of religion and in creased consideration for themselves, they seem to have imagined that the time was come for asserting with safety the pretensions which they had so long been compelled to withhold. The wise counsels which in general regulate the policy of the Roman Catholic clergy, have at all times been liable to be marred by the rashness of individual members of a hierarchy, whose duties and associations are apt, at least in con tinental countries, to render them alien to the sympa thies and opinions of their fellow-countrymen. But never were the evil consequences of this defect more signally exhibited than on the occasion on which the bishops of the French Church thought fit to make their re-entry in the arena of politics, and to make the question of education the subject of their agita tion. It is not to be denied that the clergy had some grounds for proposing reforms in the national sys tem of education at a time at which, independently of them, the subject was to be brought under the consideration of the Legislature. In spite of the boasted improvements which philosophy had intro duced into education, it is now universally admitted that, as far as elementary teaching was concerned, the system adopted in the schools of the clergy had been more successful than any other that had been tried in France. The clergy had a perfect right to demand a freer play for the experiment of their own system than was allowed by the restrictions of the existing law; and public opinion would undoubtedly have gone with them, had they urged with temper the liberty of education. But, instead of doing this, all of a sudden, and as if by concert, bishops in various parts of France startled the public with man denzenB and letters containing the most unprovoked and outrageous attacks on the existing system of education and all concerned in it. They denounced the system as atheistical ; held up individual profes sors to obloquy as notorious infidels; exhorted their flocks to agitation against the law; and went so far as to declare that they would withdraw the chaplains from the " infidel " colleges and academies. There was no question on which a similar movement would have brought the clergy into collision with prejudices so fatal to their influence. The con nexion of education with the clergy naturally re vived the idea of the Jesuits; and all France was agitated from one end to the other with a notion that men whom they regard as the eterpal enemies of human progress were to be re-invested with the power of fashioning the youthful mind to bondage. Suddenly the work of thirteen years seemed to be undone; the fears and animosities of the days of Charles X. started again into existence; the priests became again the objects of popular indignation, and it is too much to be feared that religion itself has been once) more confounded with its teachers in the public dislike. An irreligious reaction has been gaining strength in France for the last twelve months ; the exterior of Christian observance has lost its tone of fashion ; Voltaire is restored to honour ; and if you wish to, ensure the circulation of a novel, you must fill it with monstrous fables of the ma chinations of priests, and the dark villany of Jesuits ! Political parties have unfortunately seized hold of these religious strifes, and mixed them up with the contest for office. In the Bill which last session passed the Chamber of Peers, and will in the en su i ng form an early subject of discussion in the De puties, the Ministry endeavoured to moderate be tween the contending parties, and do justice to each. M. Thiers, who was entrusted with the report of the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, saw his opportunity, and turned it to account. In the very able report which he presented at the close of last session, he contrived, with great semblance of fairness and reason, to throw himself entirely into the current of popular feeling, to stimulate the prevalent sus picions and animosities against the clergy, and by almost imperceptible insinuations to involve the King and his Ministers in the unpopularity of the Jesuits. The utmost success attended his efforts. He and M. Cousin have become the most popular men in France. Nor do they mean to quit their hold of this question. They know that an inbreed jealousy of the clergy pervades every portion of the middle classes of France; and that feeling, if once roused into full activity, would enlist on their side more than half of the Con servative supporters of M. Guizot. If, by keeping the Minister to his proposal of last year, they can apparently place him on the side of the clergy, they deem, and rightly deem, their victory secure. And hence, as we said a few days since, the present posi tion of the edu ca ti on q u es ti on i s the foundation of a large portion of their hope of defeating the Minister in the ensuing session. —Chronicle. THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER. The dispute between the bishop and residentiaries of Exeter is relieved by contrast with the Bishop of Worcester's admirable and well-timed charge to the candidates for ordination. We have, in the first in stance, a bishop at war with his dignitaries ; in the second, another bishop expressing sentiments con trary to the Bishop of Exeter, and that, too, on the very questions that are fraught with so much interest at this time, and have created so much excitement among the laity, as well as among the clergy. All this is fresh cause for dissatisfaction and regret ; but we must not forget that it is the consequence solely of an attempt to revive obsolete and antiquated usages in which the people have firmly and properly refused to coincide. We have never assumed that a congre gation are to dictate to their teacher, or a vestry to prescribe to the clergyman what doctrine or discipline he should maintain ; indeed, we never yet heard of such an attempt, as it has always been supposed settled matter that the Prayer-book is the'ruie of worship, and the arti c l es an d homilies (generally) the true standard of faith for the Church of England. But we do think that the question is alto gether distinct and of a very, different character when a body of the clergy take upon themselves to alter the forms of Divine service, so long, so universally, and so beneficially adopted, and introduce what are con fessedly so many novelties ; and, by the aid of strong sermons and incessant personal agitation, try to gain over their parishioners to their measures, or set them at defiance if they do not succeed. This was borne with considerable patience for a while, till the pros pect of one encroachment upon another induced the lay members of the Church to discuss the subject se riously among themselves ; and when they found that so little hope was there of the abandonment of these usages, that they were even authorised and enjoined by episcopal mandate, then, and not before, they be took themselves to public meetings, and showed a decisive but respectful opposition to the obnoxious in novation. This has now gone on for some time— quite long enough certainly to have softened the as perities of wilful rule, and taught reason where no thing but prepossession could before be heard. The Bishop of Exeter, however, finds in all this disaffection only a motive to persevere in his intention, as a duty which he dares not evade. Let us see how the observances for which he is content to run this fearful risk are regarded by his Rev. Brethren on the bench. His first point is the continued wearing of the surplice. On Saturday last the Bishop of Worcester, while addressing the candidates for ordi nation at their final examination, with a. manliness of avowal that claims our freest praise, openly declares, in respect to the habit in which they ought to preach, " This is a question so utterly unimportant that I have never hitherto thought it worth while to express my opinion on the subject." Nay, he advises them, for fear of offence, " to continue the practice which has so long prevailed, of preaching in their academical habit, even though by so doing" they " deviate from the precise directions of the rubric." He argues, in deed, and with great clearness, that the sermon never did, and never could, according to the rubric, form part of the Communion-service ; and he further ob serves, that had the surplice ever . been in general use for preaching, we should have found some remnant of it in one or both of the Universities ; but such is not the case. Again, the Bisllep of Exeter enjoins the use of the prayer for the Church militant, as strin gently required by the rubrics ; the Bishop of Worces ter conceives the various rubrics to be " certainly incon sistent," and uses the fact that this prayer had really been discontinued as a proof that the surplice was not worn in the pulpit. He even supposes one reason for the omission of the prayer was the use of the gown in the pulpit, which rendered it awkward to have again to change it for the surplice. The Bishop of Exeter, at all hazards, would compel the collection of the Offertory. The Bishop of Worcester thinks that, with the consent of the congregation, but not with out, it might be fairly employed on behalf of our Church Societies. The " consent of the congrega ' tion " he holds to be " a material element in the pro priety of adopting such a practice," and that the clergy have no "right to force upon a congregation without their consent what is not strictly legal." He quotes, too, the important decision of Sir L. Powys, to which we first called attention, as a sufficient proof that it is not legal to apply it to any other purpose but the relief of the poor of the parish. Here, therefore, the Church is at a stand. A clergyman ordained or beneficed in the diocese of Exeter would be required to use the surplice, prayer for the Church militant, and Offertory. If transferred to, or promoted in, the diocese of Worcester, he must use the gown for preaching, and leave out the prayer for the Church militant and the Of fertory. A report has indeed reached us that Dr. Phill potts, from respect to the hostile feeling it has en gendered, condescends to the wishes of the laity in declining to insist upon the surplice. We hope it is true, and we trust also he will not repeat the offen sive expressions by which he designates the respectful remonstrances that have reached him. A clergyman of his diocese, in forwarding some parochial resolu tions on the subject, has addressed to him a very earnest, and, at the same time, a properly deferential letter to second their entreaties. His Lordship can not, we think, long resist the tide of objection and remonstrance now so obvious. Some strange mis representation, we have reason to believe, led him into the error of the postscript that was appended to the first issue of his letter to the Dean of Exeter. Surely he must now know something of the danger of taking too much for granted, or accrediting all that he is told, and thereby being convicted of errors which it is very difficult to explain or repair. He believed what his prebendaries asserted, and out came his pastoral letter. He heard some curious tale of a clergyman preaching in a great-coat, and put it in print. It was all a mistake, and he called in the impression of his pamphlet. Will he still remain obdurate on his former and more perilous misap tphraenhearinsnionng?h, tHoeuhnasdecheiavde him. enough, .f Lethi and mr ec a mo i his injunctions, and insure peace and uniformity together. —Times.

B.—lt is strange that, notwithstand ing the high and varied talent employed on the press, such gross ignorance should prevail respecting our laws and the working of them. This ignorance seems to extend to everything respecting us. The other day The Sun gave us Napier for our Lieutenant-Governor, whereas he is Governor of Guernsey. None of the English papers seem to be aware that Mr. Wilson was condemned to pay a fine of 101., whilst the law only sanctions one of about half-a-crown (supposing him guilty of contempt, and the court a comketent one). Notice has been served upon the jurats who met and concocted the resistance to the habeas, that applications will be made to the Queen's Bench for a rule calling upon them to show cause why criminal informations should not be filed against them. If Lord Denman does not shirk the case, the battle will soon be fought in earnest, for the " IVilson Fund" is going on glo riously—one gentleman sent him 501. last week. If a writ of quo warranto is applied for and fairly argued, it will be found that our jurats have no legal right to sit as a court. Before many months have passed we shall excite even more attention than we have already done. The writer of a letter to a London paper stated he " could safely affirm that the pro- • ceedings are very much less costly than in England." Last Wednesday week a cause occupied our court, in which the amount litigated was only eight shillings ; it was sent " to proof," and the costs will amount to 401. or 501. before it is finally decided! This is cheap, is it not? It is very remarkable that Mr. Le Breton's affidavit (upon which Thesiger moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of supersedeas should not be issued), does not contain any answer to Mr. 'Wilson's. . . . . . . . . One of the most learned and talented advocates of our court (I may say the most learned one), Mr. -, who is a Jerseyman, stated openly in the, court last week, during a stormy debate, " If Government were to send a lawyer to watch ,the proceedings of this court, I do not hesitate to say that the whole concern would be capsized, for it is utterly impossible to obtain anything like justice at the hands of such a tribunal." THE POACHING AFFRAY AT CROOME. DEATH OF ONE OF THE KEEPERS. WORCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—The unfortu nate gamekeeper, Thomas Staite, who was so inhu manly beaten by the gang of poachers at Crootne on the morning of the 21st inst., has (as we anticipated) died from the injuries received. After the operation of trepanning, which was performed with great skill on Saturday, the poor fellow lingered in a hopeless condition until ten o'clock this morning (Tuesday), when death put an end to his sufferings, to which it was supposed, however, he could not have been acutely sensible, the unfortunate man's brain having received considerable injury. The inquest on the body of the:ill-fated deceased is appointed to be held at the Worcester Infirmary on Friday next, before J. B. Hyde, Esq., the coroner for this city. The rumour (mentioned in my last communication) that one of the poachers had been captured proves correct. His name is Joseph Turvey, he is a native of Per shore, in which town it is thought a large portion of the gang reside. On Saturday (he was taken on Friday night) rurvey was conveyed by Petford (one of the superintendents of the Worcestershire consta bulary) to Upton-on-Severn, where he underwent an examination before E. G. Stone, Esq., a county ma gistrate, and was identified by some of poor Stage's companions as one of the party which attacked them on Friday morning. It is said that Turvey is the only one of the party who is positively known, and one feature in his favour is the fact that he dissUaded his companions from carrying into execution a threat which they made to throw the maimed keepers into a pool. A representation has been made to the Home Secretary that it would be desirable for Government to add 501. to the sum already offered by the Earl of Coventry's trustees (501.) for conviction ;of the guilty parties. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Wednesday (Christmay-day) morning about half-past. 3 o'clock a fire was discovered by the police-constable on the beat, raginr , in the exten sive workshops belonging to Mr. Michael M ahoney, cabinet-maker, 31, High-street, Hoxton Old Town. In formation of the occurrence was without delay furnished to the several engine stations, and in a very short space of time five brigade engines and the West of England were on the spot. The one from Whitecross-street and another from Jeffery's-square, under the direction of Mr. Crookland, were speedily got to work ; and an abundant supply of water from the mains of the New River Com pany being readily furnished, the fire was confined to the building in which it originated. Before it was ex tinguished, however, the whole of the workshops, 40 feet long by 16 broad, with the contents and roof, were destroyed. Fortunately, the building was detached, or the damage would have been still more serious, from the great body of fire in the building, and the great heat of the walls during the fire. The premises are insured in the West of England office. The origin of the fire is unknown. THE REFUGE FOR TUE DESTITUTE.—FEASTING OF' TIE Poon.—Wednesday being Christmas-day, the in mates of the Asylum for the Refuge of the Destitute, in Playhouse-yard, Whitecross - street, St. Luke's, received the 'following entertainment at the expense of the Society, exclusive of a butt of beer, which was forwarded gra tuitously by the Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, Chiswell-street. There were 450 of the boaseless poor, men, women, and children, each of whom bad one pound of bread and half a pound of boiled beef, with a pint of beer, for dinner. In the afternoon the men also had a cup of coffee, and the women and children eoffee and buns, with cheese at supper. Mr. Edwards, the Chair man of the Committee of the Institution ; the Secretary, Mr. Sard ; and the Superintendent, were present during the distribution of the meals, the utmost order being ob served by the numerous recipients. In the forenoon Divine service was performed by the Rev. T. W. Edwards, the chaplain to the Institution, at which tho Chairman attended. At this asylum, since the 7th of December, 1,683 of the destitute poor have been ad 'Rifted, the most of whom have been in repeatedly. At the asylums of the tiociety in Glasshouse-street, East Smithfield, and Ogle-street, St. Alarylebone, the inmates, amounting to between 600 and 700, were also bountifully regaled in a similar way. Last year the Society ex pended above 6,0002 in its benevolent objects, but its receipts amounted to no more th an 2,500/. ; it was, in consequence, obliged to draw upon its funds. Miss CLARA SEYTQN.—We have just seen an ad nlirable portrait of this very talented artiste, which-is published by M'Lean, of the Haymarket. It is one of ~ the happiest efforts of Woolnotb, the great dramatic por trait painter. The likeness is admirable, and what is • . better still thc characteristic expression is completely preserved. It is not a mere expressionless fire-smile of tb t e features. It is in every sense of the term highly . • intellectual portrait. r t 4 O ° e ,l 10° W el' 3, tb6 tA .I P le I ocr' Or°
