Youth, perhaps, never feels more joyous than when it contemplates the half-ye,rly vacation, unless it be when 13okii_g forward during the holidays to new clothes. But how much would the delight be en hanced, if, instead of the ceremony of measuring by the family tailor, and hearing his recommendation of this, that, and the other fashion or cut, the parents would take them where they vroend see every pre vailing style adapted for all ages, and allow them to chose for them selves—not that they need be left altogether to select without advice. but their natural guardians would be in finitely better satisfied if they saw every description of appropriate dress made up in the first style of elegance, instead of being obliged to take a suit when brought home, made according to the single idea of one man, for nine times ont of ten, if it by a lucky chance happens to fit, it does not altoge ther please. New it is desirable that every child at home for his holidays, and every parent should know, that Messrs. E. MOSES and SON, whose unrivalled Establishments in Aldgate and the Mt nories, and New Oxford-street (corner of Hart-street), are, from their splendour of decoration, exhibitions in themselves, have, in an ticipation of the Midsummer Holidays, provided one of the most ex tensive and elegant S COCKS of CLOTII.LNO for YOUTH that was ever got together, combining the newest fashions and the most ele gant designs, the best material that can be made, and the most ex quisite workmanship. Besides this, hundreds of the best workmen in the trade are on the premises, ready to make to measure , if pre ferred, any quantity of garments to the patterns chosen, and nothing cou ld be a greater treat to young people than a walk through the Monarch Mart. To the parents it must be interesting to know that they will be able to clothe two lads for the price usually Charged by ordinary tailors for one. E.

A special meeting of the shareholders of this coir, pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, to con sider the Bill before Parliament for making a deviation in the line of the Waterford and Limerick Railway, and to amend the Acts relating thereto. Major General M'Leod was iu the chair. The Solicitor of the company read the marginal notes of the Bill, and stated there was nothing in the measure at all relating to the Waterford and Kilkenny Company until they came to the 45th clause. That clause gave power to the Waterford and Limerick Company to use and run over a portion of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway into Waterford; and there was a provision in the Bill, that in case the latter company should not complete the line before the 25th March, 1853, the Limerick Company were to be allowed to make the line. The piece of line referred to is three-quarters of a mile long, and extends from Dankit to Waterford, and is to be constructed by the Waterford and Kilkenny Com pany. The Waterford and Linierick Company are to have the use of it by paying the former company 5 per cent. per annum on half the cost of the line. In case the Waterford and Limerick Company should bo com pelled to make it, then the Waterford and Kilkenny Company would have to pay the other company 5 per cent. per annum on half the cost of the line and of the stations for the use of them. The Railway Commissioners are to be referees in case of dispute. The Bill was sanctioned, and a vote of thanks closed the business of the meeting. LLYNVI VALLEY. A special meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at the offices, 449, West Strand, for the purpose of considering the draft of a Bill now before Parliament, and for confirming the forfeiture of certain shares.

Messrs., Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—The ar rivals of grain since our last have been rather more liberal than for some time past, which, accompanied by warmer and more seasonable weather, has produced rather a pause in our market. At to-day's market our farmers brought a liberal quantity of wheat forward, for which an advance was asked, but former prices only obtainable. For foreign the demand has rather slackened, unless for the best fresh sorts; warehoused stocks are not so easy to move, and indeed are held somewhat above the market, which closes dull at last week's prices. The nigh prices asked for barley restrict business, or the moderate arrival would not suffice for the demand. Of oats there have been tolerable arrivals from abroad, and the market is doll at about is per quarter decline. Beans and peas in fair demand at late rates. Only a limited business passing in linseed, but we do not note prices any lower. Cakes dull, and might pos sibly be got at a trifle under our quotations. Nothing doing in rapeseed ; Cakes are only a dull sale, at somewhat reduced prices. A good supply of bones, and the close of the season has caused them again to decline in price.

In the course of the discussion by the Assembly of the measure proposed by M. CHAPOT (which was read a first time) to ensure more effectually the authenticity of the signatures attached to petitions, M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN declared that the practice of petitioning ought to be done away with altogether, as a monarchi cal practice not required under a republican Govern ment. He then proceeded to describe the manner in which petitions are got up for the revision of the Constitution in the following tem:— " Petitions were every day presented to the Assembly in favour of the revision of the Constitution, but the following fact would show what degree of credit ought to be attached to them. The National had that morning contained a letter from a correspondent in the Basses Alpes, declaring that the Prefect had sent to the func tionaries under him an order, recommending them to get petitions signed in favour of the revision of the Constitution; that order bad proceeded from the Minister of the Interior. When it was con sidered that a similar influence was exercised by the other Prefects, and when it' was borne in mind that there were in France 500,000 official employes, he would ask was there not danger in petitioning, and ought not the right to be suppressed. He held in his hand a circular from a sub-prefect, which insisted on the necessity of all citizens being prepared for the even tualities of 1852, and on the propriety. of guarding against them by making every exertion in favour of the re-election of L. N. Bonaparte. All well-intentioned citizens ought to, be prepared, it laid, to rise sponta neously and simultaneously to put down any opposition to the claims of the President. Sneb.a document, said M. E. de Girardin, was highly objectionable ; first, be cause it attributed to the P se popularity which he,dici-nnt ands edaltp use ft contemplated a course altogether in opposition to the enactments of the Constitution, and the oath taken by the President him self. He called the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the documents which be had quoted, and in conclusion he must again repeat the opinion, that in a republic it would be better to suppress the practice of petitioning altogether." Tee Sub-Committee on the revision of the Consti tution, charged to examine all the petitions to the As sembly on that subject, is already far advanced in its work, and it is thought that it may be terminated by the end of the week. In the sitting of yesterday the Committee made known the result of the examination already completed of 50 departments, beginning with the Ain, and coming up to the Marne. In these 50 departments there are for the pure and simple revi sion 256,664 signatures, crosses, and adhesions legal ised and non-legalised; for the revision and the pro longation of the powers of the PRESIDENT 184,431 ; and for the prolongation alone 10,160. The total number of signatures legalised and non-legalised affixed to all the petitions received, for revision and prolongation, and for prolongation alone, amount to 394,427 ; the number of crosses is 23,247, and of ad hesions 32,981, making a grand total of 450,655 signatures, crosses, and adhesions affixed to the peti tions already received from the first 50 departments by alphabetical order. Considering the great exertions made to obtain signatures by the 500,000 employes who depend for their subsistence on the Government, the number of signatures falls far short of what we expected. The petitiond for the revision of the Electoral Law, and the restoration of universal suffrage, are even more numerously signed. M. LAMARTINE, in the Pays, thus reasons on the question for revision. He says:—" The question for us is this—An agitated country if there be revision ; a dissatisfied country demanding satisfaction from a revolutionary opposition if there be no revision. We prefer an agitated to an irritated country, and there fore we advocate revision, if the Republic have for its judge universal suffrage." Count DE STURMER, who has resided for nearly a quarter of a century in quality of Austrian internun cio at the Ottoman Porte, and whose name is con nected with all the great transactions which have taken place in the Levant during that period, has just arrived in Paris, from whence he is, it is said, about to proceed to London. The Committee on the Avignon Railway Bill held a long sitting on Monday. After a warm discussion, the Committee maintained its previous resolutions as to the propositions which had been presented by dif ferent companies. It also ratified its decision as to the provisional execution of the line from Paris to Lyons by the State. It afterwards decided, by a majority of 7 to 5, that the railway from Lyons to Avignon should be provisionally made at the expense of the State. 13; $ 1 P e as, white and yel. 28 32 Do. grey 26 28 Linseed, Black Sea 4B 50 nigsberg 42 46 Pomeranian and Do.

STATISTICS OF PRlSONERS.—Yesterday a return ordered by the House of Lords was printed, from which it appears that the number of prisoners tried at the Spring Assizes in 1850 and 1851 in the counties of Hertford, Essex, Sussex, Kent, and Surrey, was in the first year 365, and in the second 383. Singularly enough, in the county of Ketit the number was the same in each year, 172, being more than double the number in either of the other counties. [PRICE SD. The Committee on the Budget, altering its first decision relative to the subventions granted to the Italian Theatre and the Odeon, has determined on maintaining both. The Moniteur Algirien of the 20th contains the following details of the movements of the expedi tionary column : " General Saint Arnaud left Djidjelli on the 15th, and on the 9th attacked the Beni-Aiwa, and burnt their villages. After a warm engagement, in which they were vigorously pursued, with the gmat loss of some men, the Beni-Aissa wrote to demand the Amen. On the 10th, the column was bivouacked in the midst of the Beni.Maad, the strongest of the tribes to the west of Djidjelli. All the contingents of the Ouled-Nabet, Ouled-Ali, and the Beni-Marmi were assembled on this point, crowned the heights, and occupied the strongest positions. During the 10th and 11 tb, there was continued fighting, the posi tions were successively carried, and the village taken and burnt; the enemy were pursued in every direction, and lost a great number of men. A brilliant effsir was accomplished by two companies of the 16th Light In fantry. They carried by assault a position which was defended by the Kabyles, and considered by them as im pregnable. While climbing up the entrenchments the Kabyles kept hurling down large stones on their heads, but they continued the attack, amidst the applause of all the column. Some shells, which were well thrown, and fell amongst the enemy by the artillery caused a division in favour of the attacking p ar ty. The re sults of these combats has been the submission of the Beni-Moad and the Beni-Marmi. On the 12th General de St. Arnaud, marching on Ziama, met the contingents of the Ouled-Nabet and the Beni-Segoual, who appeared disposed to dispute his passage. They were, however, vigorously attacked and put to flight. In the evening a deputation from these tribes came to the French camp to offer their submission, and on the following day the Beni-Bou-Jussef also made a similar offer. All the tribes of the western part of the circle of Djidjelli hav ing thus submitted, and the country having been or ganizzel, the General returned to Djidjelli on the 16th, and, on the morning of the 18th, was again to take the field against the Beni-Siar and the Beni-After, towards the east. In these several combats the loss of the enemy was ,severe, whilst that of the French has been very trifling." At the commencement of business at the Bourse the speculators showed some hesitation in purchasing. Towards the close, however, when it was known that the review in the Champ de Mars by the PRESIDENT had passed over favourably confidence was restored, and the Five per Cents., which opened at 92f. 90c., closed firmly at ,93 1 '. 15c.; the Three per Cents. cosed at 561.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 8481. 75e.; Rouen, 640 f.; Havre, 246 f. 25e.; Great Northern, 483 f. 75c.; Avignon, 2161. 25c.; Vierzon, 4571. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 3701.•, Tours and Nantes, 272 f. 50c.

MURDER OF A CHILD AT DULWICH.--Yesterday a long inquiry was gone into before Mr. W. Carter, the co roner, d u e eat . .tll Haile,of a fe a m g a e l n e t l c e m h i a l d n , e fo f u f n e d r t m n n u e r , d e r r e e d i d n t g theat at the Marlborough Arms Tavern, Camberwell, ' co rc e e s t . i ' d i e n n g c e t h o e f Dulwich. It appeared from the evidence that S a female named Theresa Jane Flayer, was housemaid to Mr. Naile, and from appearances she was suspected of having given birth to a chili. Search was made, and the body was dis covered underneath her bedstead. Sergeant Godfrey, of the P division, was called, and on opening the parcel he found the body of a female child recently born. There was a p i ece of white ribbon tightly tied round the neck ; the tongue was protruding from the mouth, and was much swollen. me female Flayer was aftewards taken into custody to the workhouse, where she at present remains. Mr. Flower, surg e on, who had made a post mortent examination of th e body,v, said he had no doubt the child had breath e d some time, and - its death was from .strangulFltion, caused by a ligature round the neck. The )ury ,, unanimously returned a verdict of " Wilful Murd er against Theresa Jane Flayer." METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY,—Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of the united parishes of St. An drew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, Queen-square, took place in the great hall of the workhouse, Grays' Inn lane, to consider the propriety of petitioning against the pro posed Government Bill for the supply of water to the metro polis. • Mr. Tidmarsh was voted to the chair. It was resolved to petition against the passing of the proposed Bill, and it was further resolved that an association should be now es tablished to obain a better and purer supply of water ; and the meeting, having passed a vote of thanks to the chairman, ar:parated.

The population of Loudon is now 2,363,144. It increased at the rate of 1.551 per cent. annually in the ten years 1831-1841; at 1.998 per cent. annually in the ten years 1841-1s51; and P 778 per cent. annually in the fifty years 1801-51. If the last per tentage (that of 50 years) be taken to represent the rate of increase during the current decennial period, and the average deaths of corresponding weeks be raised in the same proportion, this average will bcome 945, on which the 968 deaths of last week show an excess of 23. The present return, compared with that of the pre ceding week, exhibits a continued decrease in deaths arising from disease of the respiratory organs, the num ber, which was in the former week 139, having fallen to 112. The two principal diseases in this class are bron chitis and pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs, which were fatal respectively in 3 9 and 55 cases. The fatality of this class of diseases has now declined to near the corrected average; that of the zvmotic or epidemic class is not ab ove t h e average, and does not yet discover a tendency to increase with the advance of the season. The aggregate of deaths ascribed last week to epidemics is 205, and out of this number 20 of young persons and 2 of adults were caused by small-pox, 39 by measles, 19 by scarlatina, 48 by h ooping-cough, sby croup, 2 by thrush, 35 by typhus, 7 by erysip e l as , one by noma, one by purpura, 16 by diarrhoea, and one by cholera.

HINTS TO SCOLDING WIVES.—" And I dare say von have scolded your wife very often, Newman," said I once. Old Newman looked down, and his wife took up the reply. " Never to signify—and if he has I deserved it." " And I dare say, if the truth was told, you , have scolded him quite as often." " Nay," said the old woman, with a beauty of kindness which the world cannot excel, " how can a wife scold her good man who has been working for her and her little ones all the day? It may be a man is peevish at times, for it is he who bears the crosses of the world; but who should make him forget them but his own wife? And she had best for her own sake,—for nobody can scold much when the scolding is all on one side."... Bulwer. FATAL EFFECTS OF LIGIITNING.—The neighbour hood of Yarmouth was visited on Saturday se'nnight by a severe tempest, which inflicted considerable damage upon a marsh hill situated at Toft Monks, near the Seven-mile house, on the Beccles river. Four young men were eel-pick ing in the neighbourhood, two of whom resorted for shelter to the Seven-mile-house, while the other two took refuge in the mill. The former were standing with their backs to the fireplace when the explosion of the cloud tock place. They were forced violently against each other, but received no in jury. On proceeding to the door, they beheld the mill-sails dashed to pieces, and on entering the mill they discovered the bodies of their companions apparently lifeless on the floor, their faces and the greater part of their bodies blackened by the sulphurous exhalation. One of them soon recovered, but his companion revived only for a short time, his last words being that "he felt he must shortly die." He was a fine powerful young man, by name Edmund Pettingill, about 25 or 26 years of age. He has left a young wife, to whom he has been united but five or six months. The mill, it ap pears, was the property of the family, and is said to be un insured.—Essex Herald. THE CHURCH IN ANGLESEY.—OR Tuesday a young couple, solicitous to bear the " sweet yoke of matri mony," presented themselves at the hymeneal altar of the parish church of Llandrygarn in Anglesey. To their great disappointment they touuct that the worthy and respected minister of the parish had been suddenly called from home, in consequence of the indisposition of a near relative. Un willing that the celebration of their nuptial rite should be postponed, and being fully conscious of the truth that " hope deferred maketh the heart sick," some of the friends of the happy pair suggested that the service of some other clergy man should be forthwith requested. This was done, and it so happened that the next resident clergyman was no other than the Archdeacon of Anglesey, who immediately con sented to do the needful for his reverend brother. Upon his arrival in church, to his utter dissatisfaction it was ascer tained that the mandate produced was a certificate from the superintendent-registrar of the district ! So disgusted was this " venerable pillar of the Church" at the idea that he should be expected to obey the warrant of any laical autho rity that he actually refused to marry the parties, alleging no other reason for disobeying the Act of Parliament, which, some fifteen years ago the temporal head of the Church by law established sanctioned with her Royal assent. Should not these highly beneficed dignitaries be taught to obey the law, and to conduct themselves in their sphere of office with propriety, or is it to be wondered at that a " Voice from Mona" should complain of utter indifference to the interest. of the Church and its well wishers?—Carnarvon Herald. DELIBERATE SUICIDE.—PLYMOUTFI, TUESDAY.-- Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, as the up express train, which leaves Plymouth at 10.20 A.M., was passing over the Battery incline of the South Devon Railway, about a mile and a quarter this side of Totnes, it cut off the head of a man who appears to have deliberately put himself on the rail. '['he train was in charge of Marlow, the guard, and consisted of three carriages only, drawn by the Strom ' bolt engine. At th e po i n t men tioned there is a consider able turn in the road, and a person like the deceased was on the approach of the train observed in an adjoining field running towards the line. When first seen on it he was only 30 yards off, stooping over the left hand rail, apparently putting something on the plates or picking up something lions the road. The train was at full speed, and, the descent being severe, it was impossible for Dickenson, the driver, to stop it at the moment; he, however, sounded the whistle, but the man kept his position, and his head was instantaneously severed from his body. When the train returned it was found that the head had been flung 60 feet forward from the point of decapitation; the body was in a ditch about 40 feet in advance with a left arm and left leg broken. The mutilated remains were delivered to the brother of deceased, Mr. Bidlake, a gentleman tarmac, who resides at Whitley farm, through which the railroad is constructed. Deceased was about fifty years of age, a bachelor, possessed of some property; he was subject to fits, add within the last ten days has been afflicted with a severe seizure. Just before the approach of the 6.50 up train in the morning a person resembling him Was seen at s the same spot apparently hying somethin g on th e plate but he suddenly absconded when dete c t e d b y the polic'eman on duty.

The bead of these streams is in the vicinity of th e head waters of the streams that flow west into the Chaudiere. No doubt exists of the presence of gold in thestreams that flow into the Moose river, emp tying into A loosehead Lake. The whole country around the tributaries of the west branch of the Penobscot and Moose rivers is mountainous, and similar in many respects to the mining regions in other countries. We do not wish to fa vour the excitement on this subject further than the truth will warrant. One fact is undisputed—that gold has been for about two years obtained in this region. The discoveries were deemed of sufficient importance to cause a geological survey of the Chaudiere river by the Provincial Government of Canada. Since that survey the Government has quietly carried on mining operations.—New York Tribune.

Both himself and his medical adviser, after a long attention to his symptoms, are satisfied that the primary cause of his affliction is the extent to which the subtle poisons in the wax with which he has worked have been absorbed into his system through the pores of his hands, while the disease has been generally strengthened, and one part of it accounted for, by the occasional applica tion of his fingers to his lips while at work. Mr. Bally says that he has known several cases in which young ladies have been attacked with partial paralysis of the hands and arms, after having devoted some time to the practice of modelling; but at the time he bad no suspicion of the cause. As all the requisite colours can be obtained from vegetable matter, and as the use of mineral colouring seems to lead to such deplorable results, the subject should be carefully investi gated by those working with coloured wax.—Manchester Examiner.

The Augsburg Gazette states that the Germanic Diet has decided that, before undertaking the revision of the Customs for all Germany, special men shall be codsulted. The sub• Committee nominated by the federal Commissiou has resolved that the fleet shall be maintained. The decision was warmly supported by Austria. Among other propositions made by Prussia to the Diet is one requiring an examination into the validity of the federal resolution concerning the incorporation of Prussia and Posen into the Confederation. This proposition has caused some excitement, as it is feared that there is something in the background. The Government of Austria has prohibited through out the Austrian dominions the sale or publication of any account of the trial of Count de Bocarme for murder, lest such publication should bring the aris tocracy into contempt, and tend to the propagation_of democratic ideas. RUSSIA. A furious hurricane, accompanied by torrents of rain, took place in the environs of Charkoff on the 13th of June. It came from the west, and covered 50 versts. It has occasioned fearful devastation ; all the corn, the gardens, and the fields are destroyed, mills base been thrown down, bridges and sluices carried away. The fields are completely inundated ; several persons were killed. The hurricane lasted two hours and a half ; the damage is estimated at 21,000 roubles. ITALY. A letter from Rome, in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 20th, states that two French officers having on the 15th bought cigars in different parts of the town and lighted them, they suddenly exploded and wounded the smokers' faces ; one of them, it adds, has lost an eye by the explosion. The Osservatore Romano of the 16th confirms the main fact, but does not state whether the persons were French officers or not. • In consequence of the following circumstance the political offenders confined in the Roman prisons will no longer be allowed, as heretofore, to receive once a month the visits of their relatives. On Sunday, the Bth instant, the notary APPOLINI obtained, after eight months' entreaty, permission to see his son. The emotion of the poor father was such that at the moment he encircled his child in his arms, he was struck with apoplexy. Monsignore MARC EVANGE-. CISTI, the Chancellor of the Tribunal of the Consulta, remarkable for the harshness of his temper, was pre sent at the scene, and opposed the sending for a sur geon to bleed the father, but insisted on his instant removal lest he should expire within the prison, and his daughters, who bad accompanied him, procuring a coach, removed their parent in his then unconscious state. On Sunday, the 15th, M. EVANGELISTI, in leaving his house, received from an un k nown hand a blow from a poignard at the bottom of the abdo men.' The wound thus incurred was very serious, and appears to be a mortal one. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE RACES.—TIIESDAY.

THE IRISH POLITICAL CONVICTS.—The following communication, dated " Hobart Town, Feb. 27," brings the latest news that has been received of the Irish political con victs. It is published in Saunders's News Letter, with the signature " Wm. C. Gray :"—" Since I wrote last I have seen Messrs. Mitchell and Martin ; they are living together at a place called Bothwell, about 40 miles from here. Mrs. Mitchell and children are soon expected, as none of the Irish exiles expect a speedy return to their country and home. Mr. Meagher was married to Miss Bennet on Satur day, the 22d inst. The Lieutenant-Governor's (Sir William Denison's) order, sending M'Manus, O'Doherty, and O'Donohoe to Port Arthur for three months at hard labour, for going out of their district, was overruled by the judges in the Supreme Court on Friday, the 23d, where M'Mauus appeared in his grey prison uniform, in which he , had been working at Port Arthur since the Ist of January. After his acquittal, he had to walk from the Court-house to an hotel, amidst the public gaze, where he had many friends to meet him. He had to borrow a suit of clothes, in order that he could at once proceed to Launceston, you will see by the Courier, which I send, the Vigilant sails in a day or two for London with timber; it is (I believe) for ship-building purposes. Mr. M'Manus and his shipmates at Port Arthur loaded this ship Vigilant.—N.B. Since writing the herewith, poor Al' Alanus is a gain arrested at Launc es t on , by the express command of Sir N'S illiam Denis on , whos order is that M'AL:nus is not to come by coac h , but to walk all the way by road, a distance of 125 miles, in the custody of policemen. When he arrives in Hobart-town Sir William Denisou's orders are peremptory to proceed forthwith to Port Arthur, and join the chain gang, at hard labour, to eat paste and brown bread, for a crime disposed o f by the magistrates, whose punishment was simply a reprimand for being out of his boundary. M'Manus has taken very ill of fever, and two medical men are attending him." WEAKNESS.—A person pointed out a man who had a profusion of rings on his fingers to a cooper. " Ah, master," said the artisan, " It's a. gore sign of weakness when, so many hoops are used." DECLARATION. Adverting to the circumstances of the time in which we are called to minister in this reformed branch of the Church of Christ, we deem it necessary to declare our firm and immoveable adherence to that greatartiele of .the faith—" One - baptism for the remission of sins," affirming it as it is authoritatively set forth in the Nicene Creed, 11. (Ecumenical Council, and as it is taught unequivocally by our own Church in its autho rised formularies, especially in the offices of baptism, and in the Catechism; and we are the rather induced to make this declaration, because we hope that many who are now divided from us may be brought to agree ment by thus knowing the real meaning and extent of the doctrine which we hold. 1. Acknowledging " one baptism for the remission of sins," we hold as of faith, that persons duly baptised are not only baptised once for all, but also are baptised with the one baptism of him who " baptiseth with the Holy Ghost," and who thus making us to be " born again of water and the spirit," delivered us thereby from the guilt and bondage of all sins original and actual. We hold, as implied in the aforesaid article of the Creed, all the graces ascribed to baptism in our Cate chism. For—" By one spirit we are all baptised into one body," even the body of Jesus Christ. We are all made to be " His body," members in particular of " His body," "members of Christ"—and being thus baptised into them, we are " baptised into his death" who " died for our sins." We are "dead with Him," "dead unto sin," "buried by baptism with Him, wherein also we are risen with Him, " quick ' ened together with Him," " set together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." . Believing that the Holy Ghost so given us in baptism by Jesus Christ, that we are in Him "created anew." We belie►e, also, that we are children of God in Him, and "if children, then heirs, — heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ," inheritors of the Kingdom of Heaven. 2. We hold accordingly that all infants presented either in church or privately, according to the book of Common Prayer, and baptised with water in the " name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," being spiritually engrafted and incorporated into His mystical body ; original sin being so far from an obstacle to the right reception of baptism, that as S:. Augustine says, "Infants, because they are not as yet guilty of any actual sin, have the original sin that is in them remitted through the grace of Him who saveth by the washing of regenera tion. And as our own Church declares that the bap tised child, " being born in original sin, and iu the wrath of God, is by the laver of regeneration in baptism received into the number of the children of God, and heirs of everlasting life, for our Lord Jesus Christ doth not d'eny His grace and mercy unto such infants, but most lovingly calls them unto him." And in accordance herewith, the 27th Article expressly says that the bap tism of young children is moat agreeable with the insti tution of Christ. 3. Without presuming to define whether it may not please God to give a larger measure of grace in baptism to some infants, in answer to the more earnest prayer of those who bring them, we hold that if many shall affirm that the imparting of the afore said graces in the baptism of young children is hypothetical, depending either on the sincerity of those who present them, or any other conditions (where upon it follows, that in cases in which the said conditions do not take place, both the form of baptism itself, and the article " One Baptism for the Remission of Sins," must be understood not as true, but as false and unreal) he doth greatly err, contradicting an article of the Creed, and also the commission and promise given to the Apos tles by Our Lord himself. 4. Lastly we hold, and would earnestly impress upon all Christians, that the foregoing statements, rightly understood, so far from disparaging the need of conver sion and amendment, are a most powerful incentive to holiness of life, and especially to fervent prayer for renewed or continued grace, as long as the term in this life shall last. For baptism, being the ordinanc.) and instrument of Christ, by which we are born again of the spirit, John iii, 3,5, it binds us to do that which it enables us to do," to walk in the spirit, and no: to fulfil the lusts of the flesh, for if we live after the flesh, we shall die; but if through the spirit we du mortify the deeds of the body, we shall live. Bap tism makes our bodies to be temples of the Holy Ghost, which is iu us, which we have of God, and if any man defile the temple of God, him shall Goa destroy—for tue temple of God is holy, wherefore it follows that they who, having in baptism received the Holy Spirit to dwell in them, live not after the spirit, but after the flesh, do thereby draw on themselves greater damnation, unless by the grace of God they arise again end amend their lives. THE PROPOSED EXETER SYNOD.—The copy of the diocesan protest has been returned from Crediton most fully and respectably signed, the first name being that of our highly esteemed neighbour, Mr. Buller, of Downes. Lord Sinclair and several magistrates of Torquay nave headed the signatures for that district. Up to Saturday morning returns have been received containing about 2,000 signatures, and many more returns are still due. The pro test has been signed by all classes; it is headed by the Lard-Lieutenant, Earl Fortescue, and contains the signa tures of Earl Morley, Lord Poitimore, Lord Ebringtora Lord Sinclair, Sir J.

Some scores of county magistrates have also signed, together with the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter (W. W. Hooper, Esq.,) and several borough Mayors. The military profession is well represented, several gen9rals and admirals being among the protesters, together with colonels in the army, captains in the navy and lieutenants, Nor have the medical profession held back, many electors of medicine and a great number of surgeons have already affixed their names. The yeomanry have signed by hundreds, and the merchants, shopkeepers, and re spectable inhabitants in towns in large numbers. — Western Times. A FACT FOR NATURALISTS.— OR Monday, the 9th instant, as Mr. James Wilson was walking without his coat in the Debden- hall gardens, which he occupies, a swarm of bees came round him, and whilst he was standing still, he found his hat, by degrees, becoming. intolerably heavy, till at last the weight was so great that he steadily knelt down, leaning his head and hat against a tree; when he found that the principal part of the swarm had completed their settlement, he very gently, but with some difficulty, took off his hat, then, giving it a gentle tap against the tree, he hived the whole without receiving the slightest sting, although his neck and face were completely covered with bees • his neck was so much so that hi s niece, with a small hand brush swept the remaining insects from him, when they also joined their companions in the hive. Mr. Wilson, who is in possession of several hives in the garden, states that it was the largest swarm of bees he has had for some years; and the weight of them o n hi, head so excessive, that he would not have been able to stand under them longer. His niece, who described the swarm while on her unale, as assuming t h e shape of a arm sugar loaf, escaped with only a slight sting on the arm, where one of the &warmers had dropped, and as she incautiously gave him a nip, he returned the comp liment.— Essex Herald. SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR NORWICII. 011 Satur day last as a young man named Johnson wail passing through a lane about a mile distant from Norwich, Calle d Mrs. Martineau's lane, a dog which accomanied him, after beating through an adjoining plantation, returned with what seemed to be a piece of carrion, W i t h which it ran o ff. Upon Johnson's arrival at home he found that the animal bad pre ceded him, and that the substance which he bad carried from the plantation was a human bad. He immediately com municated the circumstance to the Plice' a nd a minute search was instituted in the locality, which resulted in the discovery of other portions of a dead body, the remains, in the opinion of several surgeons h a ve inspected them, being those of a your'' , female. who The rumours and opinions which have arisen from the occurrence are of the most murder con- a idling nature, some ersons insisting that foul has been committed, and!a others r suggestingter that anatomicalthe portions of the body di scovere d !alive been used busily engaged in the Pu poses. The police, however, a in vestigation of the circumstances, and there is little doubt mystery in which the matter is at that they will unravel t he m y present shrouded. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT MALDON WHILE P On Saturday afternoon, whilst two young gen tlemen, Norwegians, weie bathing in the river, one of them, ruineVn=o 11t4olter, got out of his depth and called for help. Mr. Erland Kjostende, immediately went to hi s assistance, when the sinking man instantly caught hold of him round the body, and he being but a moderate swim mer, both sank. It was some little time before any persons could reach the spot; on their arrival assistance was ren dered to Mr. Kjostende, and he was taken out of the water much exhausted, but was soon revived; and although every exertion was used, the body of Mr. Holter was not found for three•quarters of an hour. Every means were then resorted to in endeavouring to restore animation, but without the slightest effect, and the body was remo ve d t o awa i t a coro ner's inquest. Deceased had only that morning come down from London with his friend, Mr. Kjostende, who was on visit at Mr. Dedman's. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived. They announce that all the members of the new Committee on the Bill for the regulation of the debt are of the Ministerial party. It was said that the Committee would present its report in a few days. The Opposition intended to bring forward a great many amendments, in order to delay the adoption of the measure. The 19th being the fete of the Corpus Christi, which was celebrated with much pomp, the Chambers did not assemble, and the Stock Exchange was closed. The discussion in the Chamber of De puties on the vote declaring confidence in Ministers was to come on the next day, and several sittings would, it was expected, be occupied in the discus sion. Queen CHRISTINA had entirely recovered from her late accident. PORTUGAL. It is rumoured that SALDANRA intends modifying the Ministry in a Carlista sense. lie has addressed a letter to the Minister of the Interior expressing his disapproval of the dismissal of Cartista employes by the civil governors of provinces, and the following circular on this subject has been issued by the Minister of the Interior : " The Queen has been pleased to order— " That the civil governors, examining well the spirit of those circulars, and the instructions and declarations which, in c nformity therewith, have since been given to them, are not to proceed to the suspension of employes, nor to propose their dismissA unless, by an impartial examination of facts and circumstances connected with them, they are convinced of the justice and necessity of such mensurt s; for, however much it is certain that the general a dministration of the State ought to be free and disembarrassed, without personal considerations, or of a secondary order, acting as an obstruction to it, it is right at the same time that those suspensions or dis missals only should take place which justice and the public interest in reality demand. h .
