While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are de rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a Vocabulary ; so that the Dictionary may be used either for reference, or tin teaching Derivation. The Pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple no tation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevail ing usage, or from the majority of competent authorities. The Clas sical and Scripture Proper Names are printed in one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF STRANGULATION BT MACHINERY.—Monday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the York Minster, Bunbill-row, St. Luke's, on the body of William Lawrence, aged eighteen, employed by Mr. Martin, paper glazer and embosser, of Old -street, but whose factory is in Bunhill-row. On Friday evening deceased was about to glaze some paper at a one-horse power steam-engine, and was passing a proof sheet beneath its rollers, one of which is of hollowed brass. heated by a red hot round bar of iron, in the manner of a tea-urn. He wore at the time a handkerchief with the ends depending loosely. The sheet of paper he was trying, missing its bite, slipped. and, as he stooped to catch it, the ends of his neckcloth got beneath the brass roller, and he was drawn in, with his neck and side face tightly fixed against it. He cried out, " Stop the engine;" and two fellow-workmen hurried to his assist ance, and did so. They then unscrewed the roller, and extricated deceased. He sighed heavily once or twice, and expired. Mr. John Matcher, a neighbouring sur geon, having been sent for, pronounced the cause of death to be strangulation, and accounted for its sudden ness by the close contact of the deceased's visage with the heated roller. Had it been cool he might not have been strangled. Verdict, " Accidental death." SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.— Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Dolphin, Tun bridge -street, New-road, upon James Leach, a master shoemaker. aged 72. The deceased, who was a widower, led a kind of anchorite life during his widowhood, seldom admitting visitors, and allowing his apartment to be cleansed but once during the past six months. Last Thursday the female who discharged that duty called to do some work for him, and he told her to go away and return about one o'clock. She did so, and upon her re turn she found him stretched and insensible alongs:de his table, at which he was dining, with his half•consumed meal before him. Medical assistance was called in, but he was lifeless at three o'clock. Verdict, " Natural death." SUSPECTED MURDER OF AN INFANT. -On the 11 th of December last a common white wicker bas ket, of rather bulky appearance, was brought to the Southampton Railway terminus at Nine Elms, by a female, directed to " P. Muspratt, Esq., Winches ter." It was accordingly sent to the latter place by the mail train, but no person of that name could be found there. It was shortly afterwards brought back to Nine Elms, where it laid in the parcel office until yesterday, when a putrid stench from the basket attracted the attention of the clerks. It was accordingly opened in the presence of the superintendent, when the body of a new-born male infant was found inside, rolled up in a piece of old flannel, over which was a piece of yellow oilskin. A surgeon was sent for, but there were no marks of external violence. It is presumed that the infant died for want of nourishment and proper attentior from its inhuman parent. The body, which is in a vert putrid state, awaits a Coroner's inquest.

GLOBE.—The remaining points in controversy between the Bishop of Exeter and the laity continue to occupy more space in publicity than perhaps any other subject. We agree with the Times in con gratulating the public on having obtained concession of that which the Bishop made a great point of, by preference, because it was a small one. We so far concur with the Right Reverend Prelate, that we consider the smallest point equally good with the greatest one to try the right upon —to try, namely, the question whether the hierarchy have a right, ex cathedra, to impose unde sired innovations (as regards this generation, and many generations back, they are so)—or whether a Protestant hierarchy is under the obligation to con sult the Protestant community in some shape, before introducing novelties (to them) in their discipline or worship. If, again, the title of Protes ta:it hierarchy is not accepted, if—as Mr. Pal ink.r said, in one of his writings he, and those thinking with him, would leave the Church, if it expressly adopted the Protestant de signation—if, as Mr. Gladstone says in the Quarterly, our Church was not founded by the Reformers of the sixteenth century—and if the inference to be drawn from this (although it by no menus follows as a neces sary consequence) is meant tube, that those Reformers had no right to make any fundamental changes in it—if all this, we say, is admitted, then we are thrown back for ecclesiastical titles to some state ofthings previous to the Reformed, and previous to the corrupt Roman era. Now, to find this, we must go a great way back. We must go a great way back to find the ecclesiastical system free from those characters which the Anglican Church has struck out of her symbols as unscriptural. We must, in short, go back to primitive times; and this our Anglican doctors indeed say they do. Well, we have ' no objection. But if we do this in good earnest, we shall find that it was not " the Reformers of the sixteenth century " who first took it into their heads that the laity should have something to do in controlling Church matters. "We cannot fail to recognise," observes a recent Church-writer ' (Conybeare, Bampton Lectures for 1839') "many minor differences between the earlier discipline of the Church and that which still remains ; and this is particularly striking in the more direct in terference during the primitive ages of the lay membets of the congregation in the election of Bishops and Presbyters. Bingham, in his invaluable storehouse of Ecclesiastical Antiquity, the " Origines," produces many authorities to show that the power of the people on such occasions was not barely testim•inial, but judicial and elective; that in the ap pointment of Bishops they exercised exactly the same consent, suffrage, veto, election, and choice, as the inferior clergy; and the same privilege was like wise on some occasions conceded to them in the designation of Presbyters. The testimony of Cyprian is very important on these points. In the 67th Epistle, p. 172, he strongly insists, that the whole analogy of the appointment of the priesthood under the old covenant, and every order of ministers under the new, demonstrated ordinationes sacerdotales non nisi sub populi assistantis conscientia fieri oportere ; ordinatio justa et legitima est, quce omnium stitfragio et judicio fuerit examinata ; and he himself apologises (Ep. 33) for having been under the pressure of the times of persecution obliged to ordain a very meritorious individual by his own single authority, without having had an oppor tunity thus to consult the Church. It appears then that the laity were considered p a r s magna of "the Church" in those primitive times which our orthodox Anglican doctors are fond of appealing to. And with reference more particularly to ques tions of discipline (more important than the present ones) it is clear that, in the earliest ages of the Church, those were not decided, as it were, over the heads of the laity, but, on the contrary, remitted to their express concurrence. " A painful con troversy arose," says the writer above cited, " as to the terms on which the lapsed brethren, as they were called, were again to be admitted into the bosom of the Church they had for saken in her hour of trial. Ile (Cyprian) throughout scrupled to issue any determination on the subject from his own judgment alone; and declared his desire to remit its decision to the public synods of his Church, which appear to have included its lay as well as clerical members. He will take no steps, he says sine petite et conscientia plebis." That Father of the Church who had perhaps most resemblance to Henry of Exeter (if we may judge by the tone of his fulminations against Vigilantius) —we mean Jerome —by no means, however, extrava gated in the direction of " dropping-down-deadness" before Bishops. On the contrary, he devoted much of his monkish labours and temper to demon strating not only his personal disposition to defying episcopacy when it came across his way—but the non existence of any original distinction in office between Bishops and Presbyters. On the whole, we cannot think that ecclesiastical sticklers will take much by their motion, if they insist on driving us back to primitive times from " th e R e f ormers of the sixteent h cen tury." The plain question we take to be—whether the Church-going people are to adhere to the general style of worship of the ages after, or the ages before, the Reformation. Of course a very unblameable pre ference may be entertained either for the one, or the other. We do not undertake to decide on any grounds applicable to all religious communions, between altar and communion-table, priest and minister, sacrament of penance, and doctrine of re pentance and remission. 'We do not undertake to say what human forms most approach divine truths. But we do say that the people of Eng land, who have hitherto been accustomed to one set of forms, as those most expurgated from ad mixture of superstition, have a right to be con sulted before the usage of centuries is changed in conplaisance to the feelings of certain scrupu lous clergymen--.whose scruples, for the most part, point Romewards. In fact, it is shrewdly suggested by a correspondent, that the Bishop of Exeter himself, however satisfactory a testimony he adduced lately to his own Protestantism, in stating that he had withdrawn from the Cambridge Camden Society, because they patronised windows with pictures and mottoes indicative of " Mariolatry"—has placed himself in a singular position towards :Protestantism, and august Protestant personages ! STANDARD.—It certainly is not the least gratifying of the proofs of the advancing intelligence of the eouutry, that, notwithstanding the successive announcements of the rapid improvement of the revenue, we hear little or nothing from the people of a reduction of taxes. The millowners, no doubt, clamour for a diminution of the cotton duties, though they never had cotton at so low a price, and like demands are heard from other classes, but the claims for reduction are all class claims, in which the people take no part. It cannot, however, be supposed, that the present generation have more pleasure in paying taxes than the generation before them ; and, therefore, we must conclude that their contentment with the ex. isting financial arrangement arises from a conviction that a hasty reduction of taxes may be in the end more injurious than beneficial. In short, th a t th e " ignorant impatience of taxation" (to borrow the late Lord Londonderry's happy though much abused phrase) has given place to an enlightened consideration of the future. The reductions of the late Administration have demonstrated that such relief may be bought too dear, and fully exposed the fallacy of Lord Syden ham's theory of fructification from deficit. Never theless, it is scarcely to be expected that, with that steady and rapid improvement of the revenue, which may be anticipated from the continuance in office of an Administration that has, in four short years, so wonderfully reversed the financial state of the country__ it is scarcer to be expected, we say, that if Sir Robert Peels Government continue to hold office, the public will not look at its hands for a remission of taxation. We fear the time has not yet arrived when all men will see, what all thoroughly-in formed men see already, that the contribution to a public revenue wisely laid out in providing for the national defence, and in promoting national im provements, is the most profitable of all investments ; that double taxes may be made to produce double wealth to the people collectively and individually. As yet we have had but half the lesson--that half which teaches that a deficient revenue, arising from diminished taxes, leads to collective and individual distress—the other, and more valuable p or ti on o f th e instruction remains to be inculcated by an exper i ence, for which, perh a p s , th e mass of the People a re no t ye t prepared. The time, however, will co.n e , and question less the measures of the present Administration are well calculated to advance its arrival, when the public will feel that defence and war are not th e on l y goo d that laid out money reasons for a nation's making large pecuniary may be sacri afisees—when it v properly, a in providi n g d o cks and harbours—in p romot i ng a Nndill much be thou hou snore ;ht profitably, well-considered system of colonisation—in extending religious and secular education, and the means of comfort to the poorer classes— as in equipping fleets and armies, important as the due equip ment of fleets and armies must always be. A great deal has been done, and will be done, in this country by individual enterprise and by pri vate benevolence ; but there are objects of the greatest national importance (we may cite the construction of refuge harbours) which present no temptation to individual enterprise ; and there are others of no less importance, as the full extension of religious and secular education, too vast to be ade quately effected by private benevolence. Sir Robert Peel, no doubt, acted with true wisdom in leaving to private enterprise the Irish railways, so pro mising of prosperity and civilisation to the sister island ; but if the construction of the Kings town harbour had been left to private en terprise, the whole western coast of the Irish sea would be at this moment without one safe port. In the same way it is manifest that the edu cation of the people cannot be safely -confided to private benevolence. Without a reasonably well supplied exchequer, however, no Government can undertake anything beyond routine expense. We are aware that there was, at one time, a sufficiently strong objection to leaving with an administration the command of more money than was absolutely necessary to carry on the public ser vice. The successive Whig administrations of the first two-thirds of the last century had reduced peculation and r o bb ery t o a perfect system, and there was no reason to hope that money at the mercy of a government would be applied to any but corrupt personal or party objects ; unless, indeed, it should go to pamper that passion, the indulgence of which was said. and then truly said, to be " the pastime of kings." The checks, however, imposed upon the public expen diture during the last fifty years (we are proud to say , self-imposed by Tory and conservative Government are, it is confessed by all, a sufficient guard against any misapplication of it ; and kings have had enough of that game which was once their peculiar pastime, from 1793 to 1815, to serve them for one good century, even were not the British people too wise to join in the game, upon any save the strongest provo cation. We are thoroughly persuaded that were the revenue from the present taxes augmented 20 or 30 or 40 per cent., as, if these taxes are con tinued, and the world remain in its present happy state, it will be, the increase would be to any Bri tish Government a dissuasive from war—because it would commit the country to such civil im provements as are the surest hostages for peace, while the influence of such proof of our national wealth upon foreigners would have just the same pacific tendency. A large and even re dundant revenue, applied to civil government, is, in the present condition of Europe, the best possible guarantee for peace, while, we need not repeat it, such a revenue, so applied, is the fertile seed of internal prosperity and happiness. Every class, therefore, which calls upon the public to join in demanding a remission of taxes for its own class benefit, really solicits the public to sacrifice, by so much, its guarantee of peace, its seed of prosperity. In offering these opinions we must be understood as speaking merely from ourselves, as, indeed, merely repeating what we have constantly laboured to inculculate—the mis chief of reducing the revenue--what we laboured to inculcate, whether it was the Government of the Duke of Wellington, or of Lord Grey, or Lord Mel bourne that sought popularity by diminishing the revenue. We hope that we speak with a better hope of success than formerly, because we know that the more revenue the more good the Government can effect ; but of Sir Robert Peel's financial purpose we really know nothing. o w n as th his e e e n i t i i n r e e oftimee w re a p s ee d l T ea o u t s e e d , b to ut t h h e e eo p o u l b d li te c s ll er th vi e c m e. The English n ewspapers were congratulating each other that he was not acquainted with a man who was a re pealer in 1843 or 1844 who was not a repealer at that moment. Their policy was uniform —their opinions unanimous. It had been stated that Mr. O'Connell had lost his influence—that he was no longer able to direct the power he had raised up—but he could inform the people of England that he was still the acknow ledged and recognised leader of his countrymen, and he was confident that nothing could ever occur to inter rupt the harmony which existed between them. An en - deavour had been made to create disunion amongst the people of Ireland, and certainly if the British Minister meditated such to be the result of his Bequests Act, he could not have gone a better way about creating such a result. But he told that Minister he would be disap pointed. The prelates who had accepted office under that Act, had declared the measure as being deficient in many respects, and he was sure that unless these defects were remedied, they would refuse to assist in carrying out a Bill which was so obnoxious to the country at large. The decline of the repeal rent had also furnished their friends on the other side with a subject of gratula tion, but he trusted that the people of Ireland would contradict that assertion, by systemising that taxation— a self-imposed taxation, which should continue till the union was repealed. The people should supply them with the means, ha was going to say, of carrying on the government of the country, but he would not expose himself to an indictment of 36 yards length, and he would say, all the operations incidental to the carrying on of the agitation. After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'HEA (barrister) moved that the Committee of the Association should be directed to prepare a general view of the proceedings of the Association for the past year. The Learned Gentleman then commented at some length on the various political phases through which the people of Ireland had passed during the last forty-five years, and detailed the several constitutional triumphs they had achieved, and concluded an eloquent address amidst general applause. After the dispatch of some routine business, Mr. Smith O'Brien a nnounced the rent for the week to be 2431. 15s. ld.—T he meeting then adjourned.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT KNOCKNAROON.- -A most appalling accident, attended with the loss of tie lives of four children, took place on Saturday evening,, about four o'clock, at the little hamlet of Knockmaroon, which lies contiguous to the southern and western bouisOary wall of the Phcenix Park, and the low road to Ole Strawberry Beds and Lucan, &c. The Commission ?.t s of Woods and Forests, in the late extensive and v linable improvements in the Phcenix Park, constructea'. a new road at the back of the Royal Ilibernian Military School, through what is familiarly known as the Fur r:s• Glen, about midway from the sum mit level of the g round to that of the valley alongside the River Liffey. T hie place was so romantically beautiful in its aspect that it was resolved to add to its appear ance by forming the upper part of the glen into an arti ficial lake, natur e having provided for a supply of water by a rivulet whi eh ran along, emptying itself into the Liffey, and forms d the boundary between the parishes of Chapelizod and Castlekneck. The usual precaution for permitting the. overflow of the lake to pass away was provided for by a leans of a sewer. The boundary wall of the park was at the bottom of the glen, and about 100 yards from it we re the houses, the inmates of which fell victims. It won Id appear that the masonry work of the sewer gave way, arid the great body of water speedily filled the lower Oen, as it is stated to the height of seven or eight feet, the opening in the wall being quite iisuffi cient to let off the rush of water; its weight soon bore down about twenty or thirty feet of the wall, and an overwhelming flo 0(1 swept into the houses, and in a few minutes, before a ny human help could be afforded, four children, and a cuw , the chief support of one poor family, were drowned. a officer, whom we understood to be Mr. De Laney, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, who was riding fortunately along the road, with intrepid humanity which does honor 0.• to him, rode into the water, and succeeded in res , ruing an aged woman and three chil dren from destt ,fiction. Three others of the houses were not approac /able. The names of the sufferers are Roger Fox, by t rade a weaver, but who is a fireman now on board one of the London and Dublin steamers, and at present o a duty, lost three •hildren, the eldest eleven years, they youngest an infant, the third about four years old. One of the children, aged nine, providen tially saved herseif by climbing on the top of her father's loom, and was found in that position half dead, clinging with death-like grasp to it. The eldest girl, it is sup posed, lost her life in i her anxiety for the infant and her youngest sister. Th e poor mother was at market, pro viding some necessar ics for the week's support, and re turned but to witnes: s their dead bodies, and that of the cow, their chief m eans of support. A man named Joseph Coyle had or .e child drowned. A poor helpless man named Mullen, by trade a smith, living on the bank of the Liffey, t he opposite side of the road, had his house and furnitu re all wrecked and destroyed. A respectable tradesman f named Butler had his furniture destroyed. It was to the courage, decision, and huma nity of Mr. De Lac cy that this man owes the pre servation of his mother and children's lives. The furniture, bed-clothes, store of potatoes, firing, &c., were all destroyed„ and a scene of more unqualified misery than these wretched dwellings presented could not be imagined. Some prompt measure of reli f should be devised for these suffering families ; but it is imperatively inc•annb.ent upon the Commissioners of Woods and Forests: to compensate them for the injury thus unwittingly inflicted upon them. The bodies of the four children hie in a public-house awaiting an in quest. The Lady Thomas Hay, who is at present sojourn ing at the Hotel Brighton, in Paris, gave birth on Tues day last to a daughter. The infant, we regret to statr, survived its birth only a few hours.

IRELAND. THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS COMMISSION. DUBLIN, JAN. 6.—The Commissioners held their first meeting this day, at their office, Lower Gardiner•street. Mr. IL O'Carroll, the new Roman Catholic secretary, and Mr. W. P. Mathews, the Protestant secretary, attended. A second meeting of the Commissioners is to be held in the course of the week. MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS. A special meeting of the Roman Catholic prelates is to be held in this city on the 22d instant. One of the objects of the meeting, it is said, is to consider the pre sent state of the public mind, not only in reference to the Charitable Bequests Act, but also in regard to the statements put forward in the newspapers respecting a concordat with Rome, and the payment of the Roman Catholic clergy by the State. In the report of the Repeal Association!this day, Mr. Smith O'Brien alluded to the excitement produced by the Charitable Bequests Act. This was the first refer• ence to the subject at the Conciliation Hall. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. Counsellor Mullen in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, he trusted that the same spirit, energy, and determination which had actuated the people of Ireland during the two past years would continue to animate them in the present. It was to the Association they were indebted for the defeat of Lord Stanley's Registration Bill, and it had likewise been the means of preventing bad legislation for the two past years, and he trusted it would also be the means of extending good measures during the ensuing session of Parliament, and although these measures might fall far short of the great object for which they were contending, yet he would accept them without prejudice to the opinions which he entertained. The SECRETARY commenced the business of the day by reading the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, enclosing 511., the amount of his own subscriptions and those of the immediate members of his family for the year 1845: " Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 3, 1845. "My dear Ray,—l have been so employed, whilst within doors, on the Charitable Bequests Bill and its pernicious accompaniments, that I am totally unable to send the address to the Irish people. You shall, I trust, have it for the next day of meeting, " In the meantime I enclose you 511. for my family subscription to the repeal rent for 1845, thus:—Daniel O'Connell, M.P., 51. ; Maurice O'Connell, M.P., 5/ ; John O'Connell, M.P., 5/. ; Daniel O'Connell, jun., 5/. ; for Morgan O'Connell, Esq., 11. ; Mrs. O'Connell Fitz simon, 11. ; Miss O'Connell Fitzsimon, 1/. ; Eily O'Con nell Fitzsimon, IL ; Kato O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Christopher O'Connell Fit z si mon , IL ; Thomas 'Con nell Fitzsimon, 1/. ; Henry O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11 ; Maurice O'Connell Fitzsimon, It ; Daniel O'Connell (Maurice), 1/. •, John O'Connell, jun., 1/. ; Fanny O'Con nell, IL; Mary O'Connell, IL ; Mrs. O'Connell, Aghadda, IL; Mary O'Connell (Charles), 1/.; Teresa O'Connell, 1/. ; Kato O'Connell, 11.; Daniel O'Connell, 11.; Mrs. French, 1L; Daniel O'Connell French, 1L; Christopher O'Conael I French, IL ; Nicholas O'Connell French, 11. ; Harriett O'Connell French, IL ; Mary O'Connell French, 1/. ; Alice O'Connell French, 11. ; Mrs. Morgan O'Connell, 1/. ; Mrs. O'Connell (John), 1/. ; Daniel O'Connell, I ; James O'Connell, 1/ ; John O'Connell, jun., 1/. ; Bessy O'Connell, 11. Total, 51/. " I will be in Dublin to rally for the repeal as speedily as I can tear myself from this delightful spot. " Give, or renew, my notice for Monday week of a motion to make such arrangements during the next ses sion of Parliament as may preclude the necessity of the repeal Members attending in London. I have a strovf; impression that the repeal cause—the only thing which the Irish people have a real interest—can be bes', managed and promoted in Ireland.—Believe me to be, very faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Ray, Esq." On the motion of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, seconded b J. P. SOMERS, M.P., the letter was inserted on th minutes. The SECRETARY read a letter from Mr. Steele, date d Fenagh, county Leitrim, announcing the success of hi s mission, and stating that tranquillity had been con .- pletely restored in the disturbed districts. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN handed in the renewed subscri )- tions of Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., and several ge )1- tlemen. Mr. J. M'NEvIN brought forward a number of 're ports, amongst them one on the army estimates, a nd having moved their adoption, proceeded to address t h e meeting. On concluding, the Learned Gentleman wr es loudly cheered. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having seconded the adoption of the reports, and moved the thanks of the Association to Mr. Davis, by whom they were prepared, proceeded +to address the meeting. After a few prefatory obser r'- dons, the Hon. Gentleman said, that after the most m: t ture consideration, he had arrived at the conclusion th. it, his services were of more utility to his country in th.e Conciliation Hall than in the chapel of St. Stephen. He had the approval of his conscience and his constitt e tion for arriving at that determination. The Cork .Ea.- aminer, one of the ablest supporters of repeal, had ad vocated the policy of sending repeal Members to I Par liament. He differed entirely from that journal. 11 'hey might as well endeavour to persuade the wolf to r an guish his prey, as induce the people of England to g :rant a repeal of the union. Had not their grievances 'peen pressed upon the attention of the Legislature and lEng land generally till they had almost become a bye-w( ? Redress was only to be achieved through their own < m ertions. They should act on the public mind, and < 'n deavour by every means possible to win over that pi )r -tion of their countrymen who stood apart from the ari, and when that desirable object should be obtained they would be in a position to demand and enforce the resti tution of their Legislature. It was wrong to attribute t he non-attendance of the repeal Members to their Parlia mentary duties to idleness ; for his part s - wherever he THE BISHOP EXET RO' (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The mild and tolerantßishop of Exeter, in his letter to Mr. H. M. PhiHipps, very kindly consigns to the uncove nanted mercies of God all those who have not been in troduced into the true Church, i.e. the Church of Eng land, by the rite of baptism, through the medium of men episcopally ordained. Now the Bishop, if he really believes his own doctrine, is placing in an exceedingly awkward position two illustrious members of our royal family, Prince Albert and the Queen Dowager. We suppose these royal and excellent personages were bap tised by Lutheran clergymen, whose ordination is not Episcopal, and that they have not been rebaptised in England; they, therefore, are not included in the cove nant of mercy! Prince Albert may be exemplary in all the relations of life; the Queen Dowager may give " rill her goods to feed the poor," and to build churches and parsonages, bat lacking—not that godlike spirit of " charity," or love, which with St. Paul was of such great account, and with " 11. of Exeter" is of such small moment—but lacking baptism by the bands of the priest hood of the " Anglican Church," they are, according to this good Bishop, in point of fact, no Christians! The Bishop, however, proves one thing most satisfactorily ; and that is, that he is no PROTESTANT! Ile would un christianise all the Protestant Churches of the Continent of Europe—those Churches which were more truly the offspring of Protestantism than the Church of England; nine-tenths of the people of Scotland, and one-half of the people of England, besides the vast majority of our trans-atlantic Protestant brethren. Ile, therefore, cannot be a Protestant ; and if a Christian himself, he is a very unapostolie one!

The meet was at New Lodge, the field numbering upwards of 200 of the neighbouring gentry and yeomen. High flyer, upon being uncarted, took away in gallant style to the Pump House, on to North -street, and Hatchet-lane, to Ascot-place, into Miss Ferard's park, leaping the palings into the road near the lodge, and thence over Chevy-downs to the plantations at Swinley, through Easthampstead, to lienuik, r-lodge, near Finchamp stead, without a check, ard at a rattling racing pace. Here the pack were at fau!t, ; but upon being laid on on the heath, Highflyer mad,- for Eversley, in Hampshire, where he got into the mill stream, with the hounds close at his heels, and was drowned before his fleet pursuers could be called off. The sides of the stream were of that soft, muddy character, that it was impossible fbr the horsemen, or the yokels, who had assembled in goodly numbers, to approach the banks. The scent was good, and the run, which was over at least twenty-five miles of country, occupied not more than two hours. Between 30 and 40 well-mountiid horsemen—and none but the best of cattle could live the pace —were up at the finish. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.--We are happy to announce that this spirited Company have ex tended their terminus to Crown-street, in Botchergate, and that on Monday last passengers were taken up at the new station. We may add that if the late severe frost had not intervened, the line would have been opened throughout on New Year's-day. As it is, the opening may be expected to take place about the Ist of Feb ruary.—Carlisle Patriot. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD IN THE TRUNK OF A TREE.—On Tuesday, between twelve and one o'clock, the body of a new-born child was conveyed by the police to the St. Pancras workhouse, having been discovered near Highgate that morning under the fol lowing singular circumstances :—A number of boys had gone into the fields near the Ilighgate Cemetery, and some of them proceeded to climb an old tree, situate be tween Swain's-lane, leading to the cemetery, and the upper part of Maiden-lane. Whilst thus engaged one of the boys got into the hollow formed in the tree's trunk, and whilst there felt, as he thought, something move beneath his feet. He put his hand to the bottom to feel what the substance was, and pulled up a black bundle, which, on being opened, was found to contain the body of a child wrapped up in an old black stuff apron. The body was somewhat decomposed, but it is stated that the head is much bruised, and there are marks of vio lence on its person, which leave little doubt it has been murdered, and then secreted in the hollow of the tree where it was found. WORKHOUSE MANAGEMENT.—At the Bicester petty sessions on Monday last, the 6th inst., two mer were brought before the magistrates (the Rev. A. IL Matthews and Mr. W. Style), in custody, from the Bicester lock-up, or cage, where they had been confined upwards of 24 hours, charged by Mr. J. H. Mansell, the governor of the Bicester union poorhouse, with having on the previous day—Sunday !—refused to perform the task-work set them by the complainant in return for the food afforded them. The men, it appears, were on tramp, and on Saturday evening applied to the oEcer for relief for the night. They were supplied with an order for admission to the poorhouse, and in consequence ad. mitted. Supper was given them that night, and lodging in the vagrant ward. On the following morning (Sure: day), before their departure, the governor called on thew to pump a large tank full of water. This the men re fused to do, as they said, because it was Sunday. The complainant, in consequence, gave them into custody , and they were taken to Bicester (about a mile), ant there locked up, as above stated. The parties gave the• names of William Smith and William Pudler. Thu magistrates committed them to Oxford gaol for 14 days' hard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Joseph Payne held an in quest on Tuesday at the Vestry- hall. Horselydown, on the body of Henry Edward Roberts, aged thirty-nine, a corn-porter, of No. 3, Goat-street, Horselydown. It appeared from the evidence that on boxing-night the deceased, with his brother-in-law, spent the evening with some friends at No. 6, Queen-street. About eleven o'clock, whilst going down stairs, his foot slipped. To break his fall, he caught hold of the banisters, which broke, and he fell heavily on his back into the passage. On being picked up he was found to be sensible, but had lost all use of his limbs. He was removed home, aril was attended by Mr. Miskin, a surgeon, until Saturday night last, when he died. The cause of death was found to be extravasation of blood into the mem brane, covering the spinal cord. Verdict—Accidental death. CAUGHT AT LAST.—Some months ago a convict made his escape from the custody of the officers who were carrying him to Woolwich, by leaping f; mil a rail way train, while passing through a tunnel at the rate of upwards of thirty miles au hour. His escape was not discovered until the train had emerged into daylight. when the policeman started back in pursuit, but did not succeed in recapturing their lost charge, though they found his hat on the further side of the tunnel. From that time nothing more was heard of the fugitive until last week, when it was discovered that Plummer, the burglar, who was tried at the late askizes at Durham, was the individual. lie states that the first person who relieved him was a policeman, who furnished him with a bat, and gave him some coffee, after which he wended his way northward, and escaped discovery until appre hended on the charge for which he has now been trans ported.—Durham Chronicle. _ - ON DlT.—The lovers of scandal, and those of prurient tastes, are likely to have ample food to gratify their appetite during the next term, in a crins. con. case, which is to form a subject of discussion amongst the gentlemen of the long robe. The injured suitor is a young gentleman of one of the learned professions, who married a very beautiful Eng lish lady, and the Lothario is an elderly gentleman of fortune, resident in Dublin, and the father of a large family. Great exertions were made to compromise the matter, but up to the present they have been unsuccess ful. Commissioners have gone to London to take the evidence of parties who could not attend. It was in that city the alleged criminal conversation commenced,- _ Dublin Pilot. NOTT.—T e andfan or solemn l e e Sn m ielr a Il e Ye:llil.A and which, in addi tion Nott, which was a public one, and . to his family and private friends,was 'attended by the nobility and surrounding gentry, took place on Tues day FUNERAL h funeral A dour, at Carmarthen, the whole cor day with great splendour, poration also joining ere interred in the family vault of his ancestors beneath the Old Church, amidst the deep sympathy and regret of hundreds of his fellow-townsmen. '1 he grand military portrait of' Sir o N in f D th th r e:it i t t s t a T e d it g A a l l William Nett, painted by Mr. Thomas Brigstocke, of James-street, - Buckingham Palace, and intended for the Town-hall, Carmarthen, is now completed, and will, iv the course of a few days be forwarded to its destina tion.

Brigstocke has received the commands of Captain Nott, the son of the gallant General, also to paint one for the. family, and the gallant General himself was so struck. with its accuracy, that he commissioned that gentleman, to paint the likeness of ev,ry member of his family for Job's Well House, the mansion in course of erection fop the late gallant General near Carmarthen, but the build ing of which has been suspended on account of his me lancholy demise. ATROCIOUS CASE.—A man cf the name of M‘Millan was charged before the Gorbais Police -court, on Thurs day, with committing a savage assault on his wife, ag gravated with being previously convicted of a similar offence. From the evidence, it appeared that he had returned home drunk early in the morning, when he dragged his wife out of bed and forced her on the fire, whereby she was severely burned, and threatened to hold her on the fire " until the spittle boiled in her mouth !" The presiding magistrate, Bailie Gen:mil' , after animadverting on th e a t roc ity o f t h e offence, ; gretted that he could not infli c t a h ea vi e r punishm and sentenced the culprit to pay a fine of 5., or to r Bridewell for sixty days.
