THE RIVAL kROIiTES TO INDIA.—The Courrier -de Marseilles of the 20th says,—" We are enabled to state that the struggle :which has so long existed between the Marseilles and Trieste routes is at last terminated.

MURDER NEAR NAmuct.—An event of a very melan choly nature is just now the engrossing subject of conver sation in the salotu. On last Saturday night, the young fount de Liederkeke, the representative of one of the noblest families of Belgium, entered a small chapel, con tiguous to his chateau, in the neighbourhood of Namur, and, without any notice, fired'at his two sisters, who were engaged in their devotions.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN WALLACIIIA.—A letter from Bucharest, of the 25th ult., says that the general assembly of Wallachia had adopted, in its sitting of the 23d, a law by which 14,000 families, and 60,000 Bohe. mians, all serfs belonging to the state, the clergy, and the public establishments, are made free. Prince Bihesco took the initiative of this noble measure, and was warmly opposition Of his clergy. In his address to the Boyards the latter engaged them to set at liberty the 10,C00 fami lies, amounting to 48,000 persons who are still in a state of servitude to private individuals. By the new law, the Bohemians who are emancipated will only pay a personal tax of 33 piastres (about 12 francs), which will be employed in the purchase of Bohemian serfs belonging to Arivate persons. Prince Bibesco immediately sanctioned the new law, and thanked the General Assembly for having adopted a measure in accordance with the progress of civilization, and which will shine in the history of Wallachia.

FURTHER RESTORATIONS eIN DURHAM CATHEDRAL. —The inappropriate wooden screen which separated the nave from the choir, and whioh was placed there by Prior Wessington, betwen the years 1416 and 1445, together with the great organ immediately above it, was removed last week. The organ is to be placed on the north side of the choir, immediately opposite to the bishop's throne, where it will remain permanently if the situation on trial proves suitable. The end stalls will be thrown back, so as to make more room in the choir—a change long wanted —and a temporary iron railing will be run across to sepa rate the choir from the nave, which railing will be repla ced by a permanent screen, when it shall be determined what description would be most appropriate. A low stone Gothic screen is contemplated. The visitor, on entering the cathedral, wilt now be struck with the uninterrupted and magnificent view which he obtains of the interior from west to east.

After the address had been read by the Rev.

Prince Albert being seated, the Rev. Thomas Crieht 8.D., Public Orator, made an. oration to his Royal High' ness in Latin. The Public Orator h av i ng conc l u d e d, his Royal-ligu neis rose and delivered the following address:— • " Mr. Vice-Chancellor, my Lords, and Gentlemen,— " Haling be en i ns t a ll e d as your Ch ancellor by rne ceremony which is just concluded, allow me now to assure you of the sincere gratification which I feel at the honour you have conferred upon me. " It must be indeed a subject of pride for me to find myself placed at the head of an University like your* renowned as well for its piety and learning as for its strong attachment t o th e i ns ti tut i ons o f the country ; and gratifying as this mark of your good opinion must be 05 , myself, I can, at th e same time, read in it a fresh proce, of that devoted att ac h men t t o th e person and throne 0' Her Majesty the Queen which has ever distinguished you. " This dignity has been bestowed upon me by your spontaneous act, and I c anno t b u t consider the proof 0 ' : confidence in me which you have thereby shown to be more flattering from my not having been educated ai your University. " If, however, those ties of early associations, and that grateful feeling which attaches a scholar to the place 1 ° which he owes his mental developement, must be want. ing in my case, I hope that this deficiency may be cow; pensated by that interest which I must most strongly feel in the welfare of this country, and in the institutions to which is committed the important trust of training tba rising generation which is in future to serve and adorn her in Church and State. "-I feel that the task I shall have to perform is-nt i rendered more easy by my baying to repair the loss Y o " have sustained by the death of that most excellent noble man who filled the office of Chancellor before me ; but you may rest assured that my new duties will engage my constant and earnest attention, and that you will always find me equally ready to co-operate with you in your endeavours to promote the general cause of religion, lite rature, and science, and to maintain those rights and pri vileges the exercise of which is essential to the perform ance of your duties." • The Prince haVing concluded his address, the Vice- Chancellor presented the principal members of the Uni versity to his Royal Highness, and the whole of the members then retired. Before leaving the Palace, the Vice-Chancellor and all the members of the Universit/ were ushered into the library, where a sumptuous dejeu ner was served to the distinguished party. In the evening a grand public ball was given to the members of the deputation at Buckingham Palace. In addition to the University deputation, the following illustrious guests were also present at dinner : —The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Exeter, the ,Marquis of Northampton, the Bishop of London, the Rev.

The Fast on Wednesday was universally observed in Liverpool, and the town presented throughout the dal every appearance of a strict Sabbath, with one exe2ption, that after morning service the Judges proceeded with the solemn relinquishment of wor.dll and thoughts which ought to attend a day of na- defendants and tit )m that entire tional humiliation and prayer. We are informed that by the bulk of our fellow-townsmen the ordinance was not a fast in name only, but was carried out strictly as designed by the Church. The places of worship throughout the town were more than usually well filled ; and those be longing to the Established Church were crowded both morning and evening. We observed less than the usual number of parties seeking recreation at our ferries and in MANCHESTER.—On Wednesday last, this town pre' sented nearly all the outward alp .arance of S un d a y.

A HINT FOR NORTHERN INCUMBENTS.—The rectory 1, South- of Houghton-le by the er Hetton, and considerable auinientaiion under the will of the lat it appears, regularly funded the whole of the mv-- received from coal rents in right of the glebe royalty be longing to the rectory since the time the coal was first mns.lt.nd orldi _ . • . annual interest of tnis money to his private use. The principal he has be queathed• to the rectory of Houghton-le-spring, for the benefit of his successors. The sum is large, though the _ amount has not yet transpired, but it amounts to ,everal thousand pounds. The act is justly regarded as anlot.ourable instance of scrupulous fidelity to the rights and intensts of his successors. In this county it has been the practice to sell or lease the coal on the glebe royalty, and the incumbents for the time being have re- ceived the produce ; this practice has been long considered scarcely right, as, when the coal becomes exhausted, succeeding incumbents are deprived of all benefit arising from mineral produce. Mr. Thurlow, on the contrary, thought he was only justly entitled to the annual interest of the money be received, and that the principal belOnged to the endowment of the rectory, and therefore he acted on his convictions and funded the money, which sum by his will is left to his successors in the rectory for ever. — Newcastle Journal. INCUMBENCIES.—An important cause was tried re cently before Mr. Baron Parke, at the Lincolnshire Assizes, whereby the plaintiff, the Rev. John ThomaS Huntley, who was resident incumbent of the parish of sued the exeeutc of his predecessor in• ti were laid at £459 125., and the defendants had paid £'2oo cover dilipidations, but denied their liability Mr. Whitehurst, in stating the "case, re- into court as to waste marked tha " By the law of this country, presentations cannot be sold, though they may be given away ; and when a clergy man is appointed to a living, he comes into the receipt of the profits of the glebe land, the tithes, and all other profits, and takes them to his own use. But at the same time, having only a life interest, certain burthens cast upon him.. The law says he shall keep in repair all the buildings and fences that are on his living—that he shall not pull down or destroy them—or that if he does pull down or suffer dilipidations, he shall restore them to their original state at his own cost. This is no hardship in an incumbent, because his living is given to him, and he refs all the profit ; he cannot therefore justly complain about being compelled to keep up the living, for he need not ac cept a living unless he likes. If an incumbent was not compelled to keep up a living, it would in time become worth nothing, because each successor would naturally get out of it all he could, and expend nothing upon it. The law therefore said that an incumbent shall leave the upon his entering. The main question which would arise in this cause, would be as to the extent to which an in. cumbent was liable for what was called active waste. H e apprehended that not only .was an incumbent bound to keep the. buildings in repair, and renew Wilell tney required renewal, but that he must do nothing to destroy the substance of the benefice. He could not dig away the soil, otherwise his remote successors, by one digging away a portion, and another a portion, might be deprived of the whole. Thus, one might begin to dig a gravel pit in a glebe of ten acres, and others might follow it up till all the soil was removed ; and thus the land which was destined for growing crops of corn for the benefit of the living, would be lost." . The - question as to d their extent, on which active waste ations was merely e surveyors on each side - differ t consisted of gravel moved from a gravel pit, and chalk from a chalk pit; and it was shown, in respect to the latter, that the chalk had been used in the glebe ; and, with respect to the gravel, it was shewn that Mr. Grant, the predecessor of the doubled, ._ . untley, had been anxious to in - a - sh;:t . - t s il r e — til - enu - mTelw - iiiiie nearly a s the but could not pre -, -- ..,...v Luaus taking it, asunder an act line is to be opened throughout to Bolton, if possible, early in January next, and to Darwen in June next.
