IMPORTANT CONFESSION.—The following document has been issued by the three prisoners, Hughes, Jones, and Hugh, now confined in Cardiff Gaol. We hail it as a pledge of returning orde: and tranquility. It is signed by each of the convicts, and bears date the Ist November, and is attested by the governor. "To the Public gener ally, and to our Neighbours in particular,—We, JOHN HUGHES, DAVID JONES, and JOHN HUGH, now lyi ng in Cardiff Gaol, co nv i c t e d of an attack on Pontardulais Turnpike Gate, and the Police stationed there to protect it, being now sentenced for Transportation, beg earnestly to call on others to take warning by our fate, and to stop in their mad course before they fall into our condemna tion. We are Guilty, and doomed to suffer, while hun dreds have escaped, let them and every one take care not to be deluded again to attack public or private property, and resist the power of the Law, for it will overtake them with vengeance, and bring them down to destruction. We are only in prison now, but in a week or two shall be banished as rogues, to be slaves to strangers in a strange land. We must go in the prime of life from our dear homes, to live and labour with the worst cf villians, looked upon as thieves. Friends, neighbours, all,—but especially young men,—kreli from night meetings, fear to do wrong. and dread the terrors_ofthe Judge. Think of what we must and you may suffer before you dare to do as we - in done. If you will be peaceable and live again like hon men, by the blessing of God you may expect to prosper, and we—poor outcast wretches—may have to thank you for the mercy of the Crown—for on no other terms than your good conduct will any pity be shown to us or others, who may fall into our almost hopeless situation." EXTRAORDINARY INCENDIARY FIRES IN DENBIGH SHIRE.—A correspondent of the Manchester Courier, writing from Curwen, and dating Thursday, says—'• Last night about eleven, a fire broke out at a place called Gaer- Gerrig, William Ellis tenant, when all the outbuildings were destroyed, eight cattle burnt to death, and a consi derable quantity of corn consumed. Groesfaen, Evan Jones tenant—the outbuildings, containing a considerable quantity of corn, and the stack-yard had been tried to be set on fire in several places. Here was a scene :—ln one of the outbuildings a servant man and six calves were smothered to death by the smoke. It is supposed that the poor fellow had found the premises on fire, as he was only partially dressed. He had managed to let the horses out of the stable, and some of the cattle, and then had gone to the building where he met his death. He had loosened all the calves ; and the supposition is, that the door was closed by some of them runninc , against it, as one of them was fou n d lyi ng d ea d against the door. The poor fellow's name was Robert Roberts, about 22 years of age. On the same evening fires took place at the fol lowing farms, at which the damage specified was done : Ty nant y Plase—Mrs. Davies tenant—outbuildings and one calf destroyed. Plase—Hugh Edwards tenant— outbildings. Ty Gwyn—Mr. Thomas Edwards tenant — the eutbuildings and about 40 bushels of unthrashed oats. Pen y Gaer—David Jones tenant—the stable, &c. Maesgwyn—Robert Jones tenant—all the outbuildings, one cow, and about 40 bushels of un th ras h e d oa t s . Tai draw —Edward Hughes tenant—outbuildings. Pen y Craig—John Davies tenant—the outbuildings and a quantity of oats. Glan y Gors—John Davies tenant—all the outbuildings and a considerable quantity of corn. Perthi Llwydion—Edward Morris tenant—outbuildings, and from eight to ten bushels of unthrashed barley. Tyn y Cefu—Robert Jones tenant—very little damaged." Prom this it would seem that twelve houses were fired in one night, the distance from all the farms being six to eight miles. The loss has been very great to the poor farmers, as in all the outbuildings burnt were the barns, and those full of corn. The night had been particularly fine, or had there been any wind the consequence would have been dreadful. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Bishop-Auckland and Weardale Railway is ex pected to be opened on Wednesday next for general traf fic. • RAILWAY BETWEEN BERWICK AND EDINBURGH.— The requisite notices of an intention to apply to parlia ment during the ensuing session for a bill for this under taking, have been posted on the church-doors of the dif ferent parishes through which the railway is intended to pass. A correspondent states that the Caledonian Railway (from Lancaster through Kendal to Carlisle,) is now fixed and certain. " A meeting of the subscribers (he adds) will be held in Kendal on Monday next, to take proceed ings for the formation of a Company. The requisite funds (£800,000) are guaranteed, £500.000 by the united Rail. way Companies, and the rest by the public." OPENING. OF THE RAILWAY FROM LONDON TO HERTFORD AND WARE.—Tuesday witnessed the com pletion and opening to the public of the railway to Ware and Hertford, the line having been officially reported by Major-General Pasley as in a perfectly consolidated and fit state for working. The first train started from the Shoreditch station at eight o'clock, reaching Ware, a distance of 24 miles and a half, and Hertford, a distance of 26 miles, in the space of little more than an hour. RAILWAY FROM LANCASTER TO CARLISE.—The subscription list for this great undertaking is rapidly filling up; but a few shares yet remain undisposed of, which we trust will be taken immediately, as the requisite notices for applying to parliament must be given in the course of a few days, and no movement in that direction can be made until the full amount required is obtained. The sum already raised in Carlisle exceeds £20,000. The subscription at Penrith, which has been very liberal, is not to be taken as part of the £25,000 required from Car lisle. It was erroneously stated by a contemporary last week, that Lancaster would contribute £25,000. That town has already paid £200,000 towards bringing the railway to its present terminus, and cannot be expected I , to contribute more. That the requisite sum will be ' raised we have no doubt ; and all we urge is despatch.— Carlisle Journal. BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—A special meeting of this company was held at Bolton on Saturday week, to consider the propriety of uniting with the North Union Company. A resolution was passed to amalgamate the companies, on the understanding that the dividend to be paid to the proprietors of the North Union Company upon their paid-up capital of £477,539, shall be twice as much per centum per annum as the dividend to the pro prietors of the Bolton and Preston Company upon their paid-up capital of £262,002, until such respective divi dends shall amount to £6 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the North Union Company, and £3 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bolton and Preston Company ; and that, when the net profits of the consolidated company shall exceed the amount of £6 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the North Union Company, and £3 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bolton and Preston Company,— then such surplus of net profits shall be divided pro rata, at an equal rate per cent. per annum, upon the said two several sums of paid-up capital of £177,539 and £262,002. The case Ranger v. the Great Western Railway Com pany, the judgment in which we reported last week, involved upon the question of amount almost as important results as were embraced in the great case of Small and Attwood. We are able to lay before our readers some of its statistics. The first bill was 812 folios ; the amended bill 1157. The first supplemental suit bill 341 folios ; the second supplemental bill 525 folios. The first an swer 1,299 folios ; the second 132 folios ; the third 212 folios. The documents admitted upwards of 800 folios. The plaintiff's evidence 1685 folios. The defendant's 405 folios. Total of folios upwards of 6736, for which an office copy charge was paid of 10d. per folio, besides volu minous affidavits ! Shorthand notes on collateral argu ments 2,200 folios. Observations, 39 briefs. The total brief, embracing these copies, for counsel, would be nearly 960 brief sheets. Sir W. Follett's fee was 300 guineas, and 100 additional, with sundry other fees, making £5OO. Mr. Stuart had 220 guineas, and 100 ad dittonal ; Mr. Richards 220 guineas ; Mr. Stevens 150 guineas, and 50 additional. In the early stage of the cause the counsel had fees as follows—first counsel 150 guineas ; second ditto, 125 guineas ; third ditto, £BO ; besides numerous other smaller fees; making a total in counsel's fees alone of nearly £2,000. The Vice- Chancellor has already ordered the plaintiff to pay a great part of the costs of these matters ! The case was five years in progress, and the same solicitors were for the company that were engaged in Small and Attwood— namely, Messrs. Swain, Stevens and Co. Frederick place, Londo n . Th e s h orthand writers' hills amounted to nearly £lOO ! Thus it will be seen that going to " law" is a rather expensive amusement. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT TODMORDEN RAILWAY STATION.—On Wednesday last an affray of a very serious character took place at the Railway Station, between the company's servants and a dozen labourers in the employ of Mr. Wm. Greenwood, of Stones. The dispute origi nated some time since in consequence of the company's appropriating certain portions of land to their ow❑ use, which Mr. Greenwood, the owner of the property, main tains they never bargained for. A few weeks since he employed a number of men to fill up a goit or sluice which he said the railway company had made in his land without any authority. The work of destruction was no sooner commenced than the railway company set on a number of men to counteract their proceedings ; and for upwards of a day whatever was done by one party was immediately undone by the other. Having played at this game till they were weary, both parties agreed to have a meeting in a fortnight from that time to make some satisfactory agreement. On Wednesday morning, the time appointed having gone by, Mr. Greenwood again engaged a number of men to demolish the property. They first broke through the arch, and filled up the goit or sluice above mentioned, and were proceeding to pull down a strong burr wall, when one of the company's servants pushed a large stone from the top of the wall which severely injured a person named James Harrod, one of Mr. Greenwood's men, and it was almost miraculous that no lives were lost by so dangerous an expedient. This aggression, however, was but the harbinger of violence and general hostility. The scuffle that ensued was terrific in the extreme : all attempts at description would be fruitless. It is sufficient to say that the affray was continued till Heap the constable was obliged to interfere; he, with the assistance of the com pany's servants, went boldly to work, and in the course of half-an-hour, in spite of picks, crow-bars, spades, &c., they succeeded in capturing eleven of Mr. Greenwood's party. entrance of the town en of the murdered victims fell a n a child who was born on t fterwards avenged I ation of Dhyan S who is said to son of Runjeet, now ten s been placed on the throne, under the pro ion of the Vizier, a son or brother of Dhvan Singh. he following are extracts from the Delhi Gazette his subject : ce at the north gate of Lahore f from the r are, at half-past 9 The conspiracy was n and Dhyan Singh, and to execute it nt took e and a to the lot of Sirdar ,n, and Lena Singh k . ere also concerned ; Dhyan Sing? ._ .ent by proposing to the Maharajah to inspec, ,n's troops, which the Maharajah said he would tbilovving morning, and orders were accordingly A.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE The Chief Justice.—lt would be right they should come into court. _ . other day, upon the following text : Ezekiel, Oth chap ter, sth and 6th verses. ' And to the others he said in mine hearing, go ye after him through the city, and smite ; let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity. Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children and women ; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. ' " The Dublin Evening Mail, of Wednesday, says " the correspondent is mistaken in supposing that the political sermons upon the foregoing text—(` l'he Devil can quote Scripture to his purpose') were confined to any district or county, or even to any province. The police department are in possession of information, tranmitted to them from every quarter in Ireland, conveying the foregoing facts, which was forwarded to the Secretary of the Home De partment." CHINA.—We have received advices from China to the beginning of August, which are of much interest and im portance. The new tariff of duties on the foreign trade, and the general regulations under which the trade is in future to be carrie on, have, at length, been finally ar ranged and completed. The heavy tonnage dues and port charges have been removed, and more moderate rates substituted in their stead, as well as the system of levying and exacting the duties, which has also been remodelled. The sum of five mace per register ton now covers every charge !except pilotage, so that a vessel of 200 tons regis ter burden, instead of paying about 2000 dollars as formerly, may now proceed to Whampoa on paying 350 dollars. The co-hong system has, as determined on, ceased. Transactions, therefore, of a mercantile nature with the Hongs will henceforth be as individual merchants. Sir Henry Pottinger's authority to prevent the impor tation of opium into Hong -Kong (the city of which co lony, the seat of government, is now denominated Vic toria) will not be availed of in any respect, as his excel lency considers that were he to act upon this authority he would rather aggravate than ameliorate the evils of the system which at present obtains. In this opinion the Chinese commissioner coincides. The export of teas from China to England in the month of June was 1,431,7411b5., of which there were 1,039,9161b5. black, and 390,8251b5. green. Prices of cotton have not im proved, and the stock in the end of July was estimated as being rather above than under the 95,000 bales, and large importations expected ! The Bogue forts have all been rebuilt and made stronger than ever—which fact, taken in connection with other warlike movements on the part of the Chinese, have led many parties in China, as well as here, to suspect that our peace with the Chinese is to be of short duration. An extensive and beneficial com merce would, however, do much to render a second war improbable, and maintain and strengthen the present good understanding. SINGAPORE.—Our accounts from Singapore are to the 17th August. The market was in the same dull state last advised, with no hope of improvement, either in demand or in prices, taking place for some time to come. In cot ton there was nothing doing, and the stock in the place was very heavy. The Opium market was inactive as well ; no sales have been effected in the Bengal qualities from the date of the receipt of supplies from the fifth sale. Malwa had been sold to a small extent at 550 to 555 Sp dols per chest, for shipment to China, there being no local inquiry whatever for the article. Exchange was quoted at 4s 4d, six months' sight. Freight exceedingly scarce, and tonnage abundant. Great difficulty was ex perienced in filling a ship for Europe. C A LCIITTA DIGO SEASON, 1843.—According to the advices received from the various Indigo factories, and published in the columns of our Bengal contemporaries, the forthcoming crop of indigo is likely to exceed all precedent. The indigo season has been a remarkably fine one. The Friend of India states that the crop is likely to exceed rather than fall short of 150,000 maunds ; and our contem porary the Eastern Star says that this quantity, according to his accounts, " is very likely to be exceeded by 10,000 naaunds." The jury were accordingly sent for, and appeared in their box, when The Foreman said, there appeared to be a clerical error in the fourth count of the indictment, in which the names of two parties, Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tyrrell, should be mentioned. Those names appeared in that count as Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tierney, the word Tierney being substituted for Tyrrell. Some of the jury thought it was a clerical error, and wished to have the word Tyrrell inserted in the proper place instead of Tierney, and he begged to know if he should hand the bill down to be altered The Chief Justice.—You had better, if you please Has Mr. Tvrrell any counsel in court. ltr A L E S. Mr. M`Donagh.-Lial7l — ;riOr Mr. Tyrrell, my lord. STATE OF SOUTH WALES. The Chief Justice.—Do you make any objection ? Mr. M`Donagh.—l object, on the part of Mr. Tyrrell, to that bill being now meddled with. It is given in charge to the grand jury, and it is for them to ignore or find it as they think right. I have every objection to my client's name (Tyrrell) being put into that indictment. The Foreman observed that the mistake had only oc curred in one count. We gave in our last the proceedings before the special commission appointed to try the prisoners apprehended during the late riots in South Wales. On - Monday morning, David Jones and John Hugh were placed in the dock, charged with assisting to demo lish and pull down a certain house in the parish of Llan delotalybont, the property of William Lewis and others. The prisoners first pleaded " Not Guilty;" but after a short conversation between their counsel and Mr. H. Williams, their attorney, they withdrew their plea, and pleaded " Guilty." The Attorney-General then said, the prisoners having pleaded " Guilty," he did not mean to press in aggravation of punishment. John Hughes, who was convicted on Saturday, having been placed along with the prisoners at the bar, they were sentenced to 20 years' transportation. The Chief Justice.—All the other counts are right. The Attorney-General. —I apprehend there can be no doubt about the matter. The alteration will, of course, be made. Mr. Hatchell.—l submit there is no authority to amend the bill. The Attorney-General said the document was at present nothing more than a bill ; it was not an indictment till it was found, and the jury were quite at liberty, if they thought proper, to hand it to the clerk of the crown, from whom they received it, to have the alteration made by him. _ _ In the case of David Lewis, a labourer, against whom there was a charge of feloniously and maliciously cutting and wounding, the Attorney-General said, that on look ing over the circumstances, he felt disposed to enter a smile prosequi. The prisoner was then discharged. Lewis Davis, charged with throwing down and destroy ing a certain turnpike-gate, in the parish of Llandilotaly bont ; having pleaded " guilty," was discharged, on en tering into his own recognizances for £5O. Morgan Mor gan and Esther Morgan also pleaded '` guilty" to an in dictment for aiding and assisting Margaret Morgan to cut and wound Charles Frederick Napier, of Swansea ; having entered into their own recognizances for £5O each, were accordingly discharged. Margaret Morgan, Rees Mor gan, and John Morgan likewise pleaded " guilty," the first to an indictment charging her with maliciously cut ting and wounding the before mentioned Charles Frede rick Napier, and the other prisoners with having been feloniously present, and aiding and assisting her to com mit the said felony.—The Attorney General said he was not disposed to press for a severe punishment in this case, but, as the law had been resisted, the offence must, at the same time, be marked by some sentence which would ma nifest the severe displeasure of the court.—The learned judge then sentenced Margaret Morgan to imprisonment for six months, and Rees and John Morgan for twelve months. Mr. M`Donagh submitted that the clerk of the crown had no authority to alter the bill. The Chief Justice.—He has the informations on which the bill was founded, from which he can correct any mis take. Mr. M`DosAcir said the bill was not the work of the clerk of the crown ; it was prepared by the attorney general, who was prosecuting for the crown, and given through the hands of the clerk of the crown to the grand jury. The grand jury had been charged with that bill to dispose of, and the attorney-general or any other party had no right to withdraw or amend it. The Attorney-General.—l believe Mr. M`Donagh is acting as an arnicus curiw in this case; he has not a li cense from the crown for defending Mr. Tyrrell. Mr. Nl'Donagh said be had a license in Mr. Tyrrell's case. He had been very guarded in all these cases, and refused reta'ners until license in each of them bad been taken out. Mr. Cantwell (solicitor in the case) stated that he had taken out a licence for Mr. M`Donogh to act for Mr. Tyrrell, and he called upon Mr. M`Donagh now to give him every assistance in this matter. The Attorney• General expressed himself satisfied, and Mr. INl'Donagh then requested that their lordships would let the point stand for argument until Monday. No case had occurred where such an alteration was per mitted to be made in a bill of indictment. It was im possible for the Clerk of the Crown to have any foundation to amend ; he had no basis to change the name of Tierney into Tyrrell in either information or indictment. If it were wrong in both, therefore, he could not suppose the officer would make any alteration. The court would leave the bill with the grand jury to dispose of as they might think right. The Attorney-General said he was not aware upon any occasion of counsel for a party charged being heard before indictment was found. So far it was altogether an ex party matter. The re was ev i dently a clerical error made in writing one surname for another; and the grand jury informed the court of this mistake, who had a right and privilege at law to amend it and send it up again. It should be remembered that that was not an application atter, but before the indictment was found—in fact, so far there was no indictment, it was only a bill. He, therefore, entirely objected to any counsel, on the part of any individual, being heard in such a state of the proceed- Mr. Baron Gurney, addressing the grand jury, thanked them, in the name of the country, fur the services they had performed, and discharged them. H is lordship also, in discharging the petty jury, expressed his regret that they should have been taken from their homes at an unu. sual period of the year, thanking them at the same time for the manner in which they had performed their duty. The juries then retired, and the proceedings of the corn. mission terminated. COMMITTALS TO CARMARTHEN COUNTY GAOL.—On Saturday week, David Jones, of the parish of Llwrda, Carmarthenshire, was committed under the warrant of E. P. Lloyd, Esq., to take his trial at the next assizes, charged with having on the 14th October, sent to Thomas Williams, auctioneer, a letter, threatening to burn his hay and corn ; he was also committed under a second warrant, charged with having on the same day sent to Henry Lloyd Harries, Esq., a letter threatening to destroy the house and hay be longing to him. OUTRAGES AT LLANELLY.—WC are sorry to report that the town of Llanelly, for the last week, has been the scene of several villainous outrages. On Monday night, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE Advices have arrived from the Cape of Good Hope to the 26th of August, which allude to the retun of Mr. Commissioner Cloete to Pietermauritzbergh, and it is stated that the rumour had reached Port Natal of several of the leading Boers having expressed a willingne ss t o agree to the terms of the late proclamation. Major Smith was still at Port Natal, where measures had been adopted to prevent an attack upon the town by tne disaffected far mers, and the majority of the inhabitants had declared in favour o f B r i t i s h aut h or i ty. Th e f ront i er papers give the particulars of the murder of a travelling shoemaker, named Glen, by a p ar t y o f C a ff res w h o h a d crosse d hi s path with some s t o l en cattle. At Bathurst, a pu bli c meeting had been held to petition Her Majesty on the unprotected state o f th e f rontier, praying a more effective policy in respect to that portion of the administration of the affairs of the Cape. The Cape of Good Hope Shipping List of the 25th of August contains an official statement of the exports from UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. OXFORD, Nov. 2 In a convocation holden this day permission was given to Mr. Charles Henry Barrett, M.A., and Fellow of Magdalen College, to commute the degree of Master of Arts for that of Bachelor of Civil Law.

His lordship said it appeared in evlt e bi; that in the year 1823 the late Mr. Blundell gave onlHr• butler,. a person named Hall, two sealed packe ts ' --- sr which was addressed to him lallSand the other to Blundell's housekeeper, named Mary Ann Ha rr l'o) dire . ctions that he should take them to his (Mr. Bluilde.,, banaers, and that they were not to be opened until l!: his death. The packets were deposited according directions, and after the death of Mr. Blundell theY ° to opened and one of them was found to contain a check'd, £5OO in favour of his butler (Hall,) and the other sl i e st , for £3OO, in favour of Harris (the housekeeper) . Su itt. quently to depositinc , these packets at the bankers, an, Blundell, in 1824, made a will, by which be gave 0,.„ 0 ner nutty of £2OO per year to his butler (Hall,) a nd in k r i , year to his housekeeper (Harris) ; when the will,„ l o ara Blundell was proved, these checks ' of £5OO and Xavy pi er admitted to probate, and as the will revoked all fal it testementary papers, and gave the residue of the t.eatalta property to the legatees therei❑ named, the question .8074 as to winther the parties whose names were met w ill in the checks were entitled to them, or whe th er t"' er n , of 1824, giving annuities, • annuities did not makc them the Ple P t i e sr of the reeiduary legatee.' His lordship said it w as ,l; the that the . checks had been admitted to probate vtlP f t he last will of the testator, and therefore formed Par t ~° r ty will ; consequently they' must be considered the d of the residuary legatee. With respect to costs, be 5 p order that they be paid out of the estate of the testate to 070 VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT.—SovioNa' Allen, Rev.

DIVISIONS.—A letter in the Record, signed, " A Mas ter of Arts," mentions that Mr. Palmer, Dr. Hook, Mr. Gresley, Mr. Perceval, Archdeacon Manning, Mr. Paget, have relinquished their connection with Dr. Pusey and Mr. Newman, although it is still doubtful how far they have abandoned the peculiar views of these Anglo- Romanists. In the Arches Court, on Thursday, a motion was made that the Rev. H. E. Head, rector of Feniton, Devon, (who had been sentenced to suspension for three years, and condemned in the costs. for publishing matter in de rogation of the Book of Common Prayer,) might be re lieved from the costs attending the protest in the first instance, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, to which tribunal the case on protest was appealed, not having condemned Mr. Head in the costs of that appeal— . Sir H. Jenner Fust said he had condemned the party in the costs generally, which necessarily included the costs of the whole proceedings, and he rejected the motion. THE NEW BISHOP.—It is confidently stated that Arch deacon Lonsdale has received an intimation of his selection for the vacant see of Lichfield. The appointment may be considered an average one. The Archdeacon is one of the old High Church school ; but declares his decided hostility to Tractarianism. He vacates, on his elevation, several important offices. He is Preacher at Lincoln's-inn. His successor there will be nominated by the Benchers, and we should not be surprised if a Tractarian were to be brought forward as a candidate. His Archdeaconry is in the gift, we apprehend, of the Bishop of London. The Headship of King's College is in the hands of the Arch bishop of Canterbury ; and the valuable Prebendal Stall in St. Paul's Cathedral will fall into the treasury of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. So that the government will derive no patronage whatever from the Archdeacon's elevation. COURT OF EXCrIEQUER.-SAToo," ~, , if Stll r. , ~ ATTORNEY-GENERAL V.

MR. SIRTHORP.—The Rev. G. S. Faber, of Dur ham, has just published a very interesting letter on the subject of Mr. Sibthorp's recent conversion to Roman ism and subsequent departure from her communion, in which be says—" Relying on the fidelity of representa tions such as that of Dr. Wiseman, and thence believing the charge of idolatry to be without foundation, Mr. Sibthorp is induced to quit the pure communion of the protestant church of England for the supposed still purer communion of the popish church of Rome. Thus, by the actual practice of the party which he joins, he has a full opportunity of testing the correctness of the explana tion afforded by that ingenious gentleman, Dr. Wiseman. And what is the result? Why it is nothing less than a conscientious departure from the very society into which he had entered through a full belief that Rome was un justly charged by England with idolatry; a departure, moreover, be it specially observed, on the avowed ground, as I have been led to understand, that he was required to pay a species of adoration to the Virgin Mary, which, after all the arnbages of Dr. Il'iserndf, plain unsophis ticated common sense told him was palpable idolatry or creature-worship. In other words, as soon as the veri table practice of the Latin church was exhibited to him in its undisguised deformity, all Dr. Wiseman's painful ex planations, and all other essays to boot of the same stamp and tendency, vanished into thin air. Mr. Sib thorp, after Quitting England for Rome in the full honest belief that Rome is not idolatrous, finds it necessary to return from Rome to England on the equally honest practical conviction that Rome is idolatrous."

Dr. Macdonald, of Ferintosh, who was preaching in Edinburgh, use the following lan guage in his sermon. " The Established Church of Scotland is a Christ-denying, God-dishonouring, and soul destroying Church." The awful state of mind which could give birth to this sentiment, must make its unhappy possessor an object of sincere pity to all right.thinking persons. THE COURT. Her Majesty is said to be again in an interesting situa tion. According to private letters from Paris, the Duke and Duchess of Nemours may be expected in London on Monday next, on a visit to her Majesty and Prince Albert. Her Majesty will hold a privy council at Windsor Castle on Friday next, the 10th instant, at three o'clock, when it will be ordered that parliament be further prorogued from Tuesday, the 14th, to some future day, then to meet for the dispatch of business.
