They recommend that houses and mines should be leased with the right of perpetual renewal, as recommended in the first report with reference_to leases of farms. With respect to manors, however, they are of opinion that they shoultl not be renewed. These very important suggestions seem likely to be adopted. TUE BISHOP OF HEREFORD'S CHARGE.—His lordship's charge, delivered in the cathedral church of Hereford, on the 13th instant, has been printed. Amongst other topics commented upon by his lordship, he took occasion to ob serve upon the Gorham controversy, and the decision thereupon of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which he said did not affect the doctrine of the church, but was " merely a legal, not a theological decision of an individual case." The right rev. prelate also declared himself as preferring the t 'rench G, - "You, as the churchwardens -of Brampford Speke, are 14 , the most solemn obligations to the Church, and to the Divine Head of the Church, in which you hold the highest office you as laymen can hold, you are bound, I say, to bring to the knoWledge of; the Bishop, , or tO the Archdeacon, any instance in which you shall conscientiously believe, on just and Teasonable grounds, that your minister 11.,s preached or taught anything contrary to, or inconsistent with, that which the Church proclaims to be the true word of God, - NEARYIE:a"OEDY a frightful attack wag committed in the environs of Rome on tire family of an advocate, who had taken up their • 1,••^1^.

GREAT SALE OF TEE KING OF HOLLAND'S GALLERY •OF PAINTINGS.—On the lath instant, the sale of this ce lebrated and important collection of paintings was brought to a close. The selling had continued throughout five days, but as several chefs-d'wurre were reserved for the concluding day, the attendance was most numerous on that occasion, and the bidding most spirited.

It is rather to be expected that he will not preach on the subject at all; and however lamentable it may be that so mein a portion of Christian truth be not taught to you from the pulpit, there is this great consolation, that it is taught most clearly, most powerfully, most emphatically, in the baptismal offices them. d, as I have already shown, in the Catechism of the selves, Chum] His lordship then draws attention to the words of the Church in her 26th article, setting forth that her minis trations are not dependant on the soundness or unsound ness of her clergy administering, nor the efficacy of her sacraments diminished, where rightly received in faith, al though ministered by evil men. After recommending the perusal of a sermon, by Arch deacon Bartholoniew, on " the Holiness of Baptized In- fants," a copy of which he has transmitted to every house in the parish, his lordship concludes : "One single word more. Mr. Gorham will soon read heft 'on and his other assembled parishioners the Morning a Evening Prayer of the Church, and immediately afterwards, will declare,' in the words which the wisdom of the law has prescribed to secure a faithful adherence to the doctrine as well as the devotion of our Prayer-book, his unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything contained' in that book. "You ought not willingly to believe him capable of dishonest subterfuge which yet has been avowedly resorted to by some persons iwrespect of his declaration—namely, that he thereby gives his assent and consent' to the use of the book, without pledging himself to believe and to approve as true all the doc trines which it teaches. You will not, I repeat, suppose him capable of such dishonesty, unless he force the conviction upon yen—but rather hope, as charity bids you hope, that he has thought better of his former contradictions of those doctrines; and that he is prepared and willing faithfully to conform his teachihg to that teaching of the Church to which he thus pro claims his adherence. " If this be so, all will gladly hail this his victory over him self: and you and those around you will rejoice'in having the best security for the future soundness of his doctrine, in his own self-wrought conviction, under God's grace, of errors that will then be past. ' "Should it unhappily be otherwise—and should he preach the heretical opinions which he has declared himself to hold— you have a a plain, however painful, duty to discharge. You must enable those who are in authority to take such steps as the exigence of the case shall require. May God grant that none be necessary I but may He also grant that, if necessary, they may be taken by all who are concerned, temperately, but firmly, in a spirit free from all alloy of human passion, in sin gleness of heart, seeking the honour of God and the salvation of man ! _ " I am, by Divine permission, with a deep sense of the duty involved in this relation, your father in God, '' H.

Neither Lord Fielding nor Mr. Lefevre will be candi dates for Cambridge University. An influential party is forining in the University of Cambridge, to bring forward Mr. Butt to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Recorder of London.

This is a strange choice for a seat of learning which prides itself upon proficiency in the " exact" sciences. _ _ THE SUGAR COLONIES--After showing that the slave squadron has no power to prevent the slave trade, and that free labour cannot successfully compete with slave labour, the Morning Herald thus pleads the cause of our sugar growing colonies :—" Are we to insist on their relin quishing slave labour, and at the same time are we to pour slave labour into Brazil and Cuba ? Are we delibe rately to cut off the power of our colonists to earn their daily bread ? If they prove to us beyond all doubt that without a moderate protective duty it is not more easy to supply us with sugar than it is for them to send their pro duce to the moon, are we still to deny their rightful claim, and still to shower our favours upon the slave owner, whose practices we proclaim abhorrent to Christianity and hateful in the sight of man ? The question must be an swered speedily one way . or another. If we are content to be simply just, Mauritius and Jamaica may long con tinue appendages of the empire and subject to the autho rity of the Queen. If we resolve to perpetuate the misery of these unfortunate islands, no man in his senses can arrive at any other conclusion that in a very brief space of time starving men will repudiate all connection with the power that has worked their ruin, and will claim elsewhere the protection and aid to which they have a natural right, and which, most assuredly, they will instantly receive from nations more alive to the value of colonial connexion than Britain, in her latter-day madness, has proved herself to be THE SESSION OF 1850.—John Bull sums up the lost bills of the session in an amusing article, likening them to lost parcels in a railway train. After the arrival of the " Parliamentary" train at " Prorogation terminus," the passengers seek for their luggage. An Irish passenger, " Sir Patrick Somebody," is the first to receive his lug gage, consisting of a miscellaneous assortment humour ously described ;he is soon disposed of. " Here, master brickmaker, that seems to be your box ; take it and get out of the way :—two office messengers, one from the Custom-house, the other from Somerset. house, a brown paper parcel for each, value unknown ; and another, for which an officer from the County Court is in waiting. Who's next ? a smart young lady in half mourning ; ex. pec:s to be married in allay or two, and to take motherly charge of her dear little nephews antl nieces. Where can that box be with the wedding dresses, and the special license at the top of them ? Not come ! miscarried, I declare ; what a woman that Mrs. Wortley is ! was there ever so careless a creature seen in the shape of a milliner ? 'Tis no use repining, my dear ; take it as coolly as you can. Now, then, make room for the undertaker. What a load that fellow has brought with him ! Coffins of all sizes, like pillboxes inside each other; and inscriptions on all the lids : " Extra-mural. Warranted to travel." Capital ! there's the doctor, close to the undertaker. Two of a trade, as you may say. But these two agree won derfully well, which is rather uncommon. " Where's the travelling gear of Sir A'sculapius ?" "Is it this box here : Registration of deeds ?

He is de Gentile all over, and has the impudence to call me a Jew." THE ASSIZES. CROWN COURT:TU ESDAY. Ann Ball was charged with the murder of her infant at Southport. The case was rather a curious one, for it appeared that the prisoner, having given birth to an il legitimate child, had partly buried it on the sandhills at Southport, but so that it was quite able to breathe. The child was found there on the 24th of July last, and although deprived of the attention and care of a mother lived until the 29th. After the child had been found the prisoner was apprehended, and she at first denied hav ing had s child, but afte rwa rds admitted it. The medical 'vanes who attended the child otter it was found, wag asked whether the child died because it was buried. ne replied that he could not say that burying was the cause of death; he thought that the child would have lived after it had been taken out of the sand, it it had then had the care and nourishment which its mother could have supplied. The prisoner was therefore acquitted, but his lordship ordered her to be detained in custody, in -ender that an indictment for an attempt to murder might be -presented against her. Robert Leigh was charged with causing the death of an infant, named Margaret Currie, aged seven ;Months, at Liverpool, during the present month, by the admitristra tion of a narcotic drug. The prisoner, who practices as a sort of quack doctor, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, was consulted respecting the child, .which was labouring under a bowel complaint, on the 4th of August, and he prescribed a dose of medicine con taining 14 drops of laudanum. The child lived seven days after the administration of the medicine, and then died.—Mr. Folkes, surgeon, said the child was evidently labouring under the effect of a narcotic. On cross examination by the prisoner, he stated that the child did not die until seven days after the administration of the drug by the prisoner ; that narcotics generally proved fatal in 24 hours, though he had known a case in which death did not ensue for three or four days.—His Lordship laid great stress upon the surgeon's statement that he had known a case in which death did.not ensue until three or four days after the administration of the poison, stating that that implied that three or four days was tho extreme point to which (in the opinion of the witness) the fatal effect of the poison would extend.—The jury acquitted the prisoner. . . Thomas Sixsmith• (30), John Lever (52), and Ellis Green (30), were charged with having, at Knowsley, on the night of the 18th of April last, been out on the en closed lands, the property of the Earl of Derby, armed with guns and bludgeons, for the purpose of destroying game. The prisoner Sixsmith was also charged with hav ing feloniously shot at Richard Redhead, with intent to murder him. On the night in question, the keepers of the Earl of Derby were out watching, when they dis covered the prisoners in pursuit of game. On the keep ers coming up with the prisoners, and asking them what they were about, one of the poacher's cried " Go at them," and Sixsmith then shot at Redhead, in whose hat the contents of the gun hidged. Sixsmith was captured after a struggle, but the other prisoners made their escape.— Sixsmith was found guilty of firing the gun, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm : but was acquitted on the capital charge. The other two prisoners were ac quitted, but they were subsequently tried for the poach ing, were found guilty, and were sentenced to be im prisoned each for six months. John Pye • (30), Frederick Witherington (21), and Peers Harrison (38), were charged with having, at Ashton-in-Mackinfield, been out at night, armed with a gun and bludgeons, on certain inclosed land called Small Lane, the property of Sir John Gerard, Bart., and having there assaulted, beaten, and ill-treated James Ashcroft, John Rigby, and Joseph Rigby, gamekeepers to Sir John Gerard. The prisoners were all found guilty. Wither inttton and Harrison were sentenced to be imprisoned for six months, and Pye for three months. NISI PRIUS COURT, TUESDAY HOWARD V. PEAccm.—This cause, adjourned on the previous day, was proceeded with. It appeared that the precise words of the plaintiff's patent ran—" What I claim is in silk plush the weaving of eight or more weft threads between the introduction of each wire, and also the floating of the pile threads over five or more weft threads between those parts where they 'are woven into the cloth to be bound." The defence substantially was, that the plan was not new at all, and that the " specifica tion" was not sufficiently specific. About fifteen wit nesses were called by him. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, remarked that there was one observation which he could not help making. There was as little candour in getting up a case to support a patent, or getting up a case to resist a patent, as in any other class of cases which he had to try. That, be was sure, bad been manifested on the present occasion ; for if the parties had come candidly there, if they had not deceived the court, if they had come to try the real question, instead of keeping the jury in that box tin ee hours on the previous day and five hours on that, the case might have been disposed of in an hour and a half. The jury retired, and after an absence from court of five minutes, returned into court with a verdict for the defendants, on the grounds that the plaintiff was not the inventor, and that the invention was not novel. BREACH OF PROMISE or MARRIAGE—IRWIN V. VOSE. —Special jurors in this case had been summoned for this morning, and as the defendant, who is a medical gentle well is known in Liverpool, the court was much crowded to hear the particulars. Those present were destined to disappointment, however. At the doge of the previous case, the jurors in the present action were told that they might go. The matter had been arranged. :RIM CON : HOLT V. PLEMMING.—In this, an action for criminal conversation with plaintiff's wife, the lovers of gossip had to suffer a still further disappointment. On the case being called, and a special jury sworn, Mr. Attorney-General KNOWLES said, "My lord, in this ease, (an action for criminal conversation,) that there shall be no public scandal. I have offered my learned friend a certain sum for damages, and he has accepted it." Mr. MARTIN next said, " I have only to say on behalf of the plaintiff, that he is exceedingly unwilling that his wife's family should have the annoyance of a public investiga tion. He has, tneretore; consenteu to Tee piuptrszst by the Attorney-General." Mr. Justice CRESSWELL " What damages ?" Mr. KNOWLES : " £750." We believe, although it was not stated in court, that the pirties in the action reside in Dublin, and that the de fendant is the secretary of the Dublin Yacht Club. POLAK V. GREENISD.—Mr. James Polak, the plaintiff, is a picture-dealer in London ; the defendant is the sub. manager of the goods department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and the complaint against him was, that he had caused the plaintiff to be imprisoned without the slightest reason for such conduct. It appeared that, on the 20th of March, the plaintiff was in Manchester along with a Mr. Hermann, also a picture-dealer. They were in the country together endeavouring to dispose of pictures to different artists, and took up lodgings in Man chester. Whilst there, at the request of his friend Her mann, the plaintiff went to the railway station to inquire for a case of pictures, which it appeared Hermann had brought from Normanton to Harrogate, where some dis pute had arisen in consequence of his not having obtained an "excess ticket," as it was above the bulk allowed for luggage, and he had left for Manchester without it. It was detained for several days, and on the plaintiff apply ing for it at the railway station, he was told that it would be sent to Hermann's lodgings in less than an hour. On the faith of this assurance both parties arranged to come to Liverpool that night, but they were disappointed. On the following day the case arrived, about three o'clock in the afternoon. On the following morning the plaintiff and Mr. Hermann came to Liverpool, and the goods were taken to their lodgings in Slater-street. They had with them property worth £l,OOO. In the evening, they were arrested. The charge was that he had stolen a case of pictures. The officers stated they had received instruc tions from the defendant to take him into custody, and take him they must. Whilst they were talking Mr. Her mann came in, and the officers took the two gentlemen to bridewell, where they were kept all night. Next day they were brought before Mr. Rushton and discharged. Ver dict for the plaintiff, damages £2O. MURRAY V. TOWNSON AND OTHERS.—The plaintiff in this case was a wholesale tea-dealer, at Blackburn, and the defendants are the members of a sort of joint-stock, or co-operative company, for carrying on a sort of grocery store, at Church, near Accrington. There were nine defendants, eight of whom did not plead to the declara tion, thus admitting their liability. The ninth, Peter Leeming, however, pleaded that he was not indebted, and put the plaintiff to prove the partnership of the defend ants. This being done, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. CROWN COURT, DNESDAY William Threlfall, cotton spinner, was charged with having, on the 20th April, forged a certain Bill of Ex change, for the payment of £lOOO, with intent to de fraud Charles Tyson. • He was also charged with having forged a false indorsement to the second bill, with intent to defraud other persons. On the application of his counsel, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, the trial was put off to the December Assizes, on the ground that the prisoner had not had sufficient notice of two of the indictments which had been preferred against him since his committal. Those indictments not being for the charges for which he was committed by the magistrates. This completed the whole of the criminal business, and his Lordship intimated that if any causes could be brought from the other court. he would take them, but as counsel engaged in any of the cases were also retained in the other court, his Lordship adjourned the Court, and pro ceeded to London the same evening. NISI PRIUS COURT. .-WEDNESDAY WELLINGTON v. DALE.—This was an action for damages for an infringement of a patent for the manufac ture of gelatine, assigned to the plaintiff by a Mr. Swin bourne. Immediately after the opening a legal objection was taken by the defendant's counsel which proved fatal to the case. EA STHAM v. WHITEHEAD.—The plaintiff was a solicit r o at Kirkby Lonsdale, and the defendant , living in Man chester, the active promoter of a proposed railway, which never came into active operation, called "The North Union, Trent Valley, Midland Counties Junction, Mac clesfield, Warrington and Liverpool Direct R a ilway Com d - pany." The plaintiff seeing the railway advertised an thinking it a good scheme applied f or some shares, which being granted, be paid two deposits at the rate of three guineas per share, amounting to £63. The railway a bo was not w constructed, n c s o t r n u t c e t n e d d z d and tha t t h schemetehe m one yhavingcrpi gibed o e d v e f rsh r a t r i v e e s it could not be legally spent by the directors. It was con tended that the defendant having taken an active part in the management and responsibilities of the concern was liable for the amount paid by the plaintiff. His Lordship held that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the amount of the deposit except half-a-crown per cent. To this Mr. Martin took exception, and more litigation will therefore no doubt take place. BELL v. STANLEY. —In the year 18-15 Mr. John Massey Stanley, the defendant in this action, purchased from Mr. the plaintiff, a bull and a cow. Mr. Bell stated tllVta.tßlieeilliad never paid for the cattle; but Mr. Stanley, on the other hand, alleged that he paid the money to a man named Cooper, who was steward of Sir William Massey, and Cooper affirmed that lie paid Bell, according to instructions which he received from Mr. Stanley. A verdict for the defendant was immediately returned. ' ITELEMAN V. GREENISIL—In this case, which was similar to the one heard on Tuesday, in which Mr. Green ish was the defendant and Mr. Polak the plaintiff, a ver dict was taken for the plaintiff by consent. The assizes were brought to a close on Wednesday eve ning. This early termination of the business being attri butable to the settlement of several of the most important cases without the assistance of *jury.

Soon after this cc d punishment in -blooded murder of the squaw, the party, about twenty in number, was surrounded by 300 Indians, and threatened with instant death unless they disclosed the perpetrator of the atroci ous deed. After consulting together, they determined to point out the murderer, who was at once seized by the Indians, bound to a stake, and his skin peeled from him, even to his toes. The operation lasted two hours, and the victim survived two hours after it. The company, among whom was his own brother, were compelled to form a ring round the stake, and witness the terrible tor ment of the wretched man. Four or five of the party, and among them the one who called down upon himself such a terrible punishment, went from Troy, in the State of Maine.—Portland Argus. . . REMARKABLE SECESSION FROM ROME.—A large meet ing has been held in the lower saloon of the Chines Museum, Philadelphia, on the occasion of a number of intelligent Germans of that city and county having ex pressed a desire to secede from the Church of Rome. There were about 1500 men, women, and children present. At abort three o'clock the Rev. L. Giustiniani, and the ltev. Charles Kast, of Baden, Germany, ascended the rostrum. After a silent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Giusti niani, the congregation joined in devotional exercises, and the proceedings progr sed. The Rev Mr. Giust tailor, v or °rile? ( also chanced to t addressed the assembly in English, and set forth the nine following roasons why the congregation wished to secede from the Roman hierarchy, and to establish a free Ca tholic Church :—First, Freedom of conscience. Second, Because we and our children are deprived of the Holy Bible. Third, We cannot recognise the Pope as the in fallible bead of the church, or vicar of Christ. Fourth, We do reject that the priests, through their ordination, receive power to rule over God's inheritance, to traffic in souls, enslave conscience, and stupify the mind with, superstition. Fifth, We reject celibacy. Sixth, We re ject auricular confession as unrighteous and demoralising. Seventh, We reject purgatory. Eighth, We reject calling .on the saints, and veneration of images and relics. Ninth, We reject indulgencies and pilgrimages, because they tend to self-righteousness, and make commerce of human of the Rev. Mr. Giustiniani. He exhorted his hearers to be watchfal and prayerful; to clasp the Bible to their bosoms, to read it, to put their trust in it, and as long as a single star blazed in the American flag, they would be safe. The Rev. C. Kast, of Germany, also addressed the congregation. He spoke in German, and was eloquent. After he had concluded, the Rev. Mr. Giustiniani des cended to the floor, and taking a lighted candle in his band, pronounced the congregation as having seceded from the Church of Rome, and blew out the candle. The congregation seemed to be exceedingly well pleased with the proc DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS.—A correspondent of the Daily Naas, writing from Namur, under date of the 16th of August, thus describes serious harvest disasters which have recently happened in Belgium :—" I traversed to day the line from Lille to this town, and on my way saw a most melancholy harvest scene. For nearly sixty miles all the low lands are flooded, and in some spots the water extends over the railway itself to such an extent that we were in fear that the fires would be put out, and the train be at a stand-still. The aspect of the country is very painful. In many places the reapers seem to have been literally driven from their work by the waters, half a field of wheat being cut and tied with the water extending half way up the shock as it stands where they left it, the other half of the crop being still uncut, with the ears of the -corn just visible above the surface of the flood. In other places the cut wheat is seen floating about. Thousands of acres of wheat now stretch on each side of the railway and might be taken for lakes, were it not for the rows of tree tops that mark the margin of the submerged fields. Here and there the people were at work up to their waists in water, striving to rescue their property ; but what they could get, like that which now lies soaking under water can have very little value. The floods seem heaviest to wards Charleroi ; and the Sambre, as I write, is rolling into the Mense with double its usual volume, and its tide as yellow and turbid as a second Tiber. if the rest of the country suffers as this portion of it now does, Belgium insist be a buyer of foreign corn this year, to make up her losses." At Brussels, in many of the suburbs, the water was five feet high. The quays of the Charleroi canal had been carried away by the torrents, and four men drowned at one place. In the Faubourg de Flandre, fifty houses had been thrown down, and an immense number of cattle lost. At Nivelle, near Waterloo, great destruction of property has taken place. At Nimy, such was the force of the current through the streets. that one hundred casks of beer were rolled nearly half a league into the plain of Nimy. At St. Denis, a large mill was bodily carried away. The ravages in the vicinity of Mons were not less severe. The Haiue threw down a great part of the railway works on the Mons and Mange Railway ; the rails were torn up and dispersed. The loss of he Manage Railway Company is estimated at 300,000 tr. lowing curious note of hand :—" In two days after t} demise of my present wife I promise to marry Aliso ' , value received, under fifty pounds sterling .ven under my hand this sixteenth day of May. &c., J Sullivan."

The " sea serpent" was seen in Dublin Bay on Thurs day by several persons on board a yacht. Several portions of the back were in view over the water and seemed to resemble " the coils of a serpent," to adopt the phraseo logy of one of the gentlemen who waited on us to describe the circumstance : the bead was shaped not unlike that of an eel, and was borne aloft several feet out of the water. The speed at which he moved through the water was esti mated at 20 miles an hour, and he left a wake such as misfit be expected from a ship of several hundred tons. The gentleman who saw this monster computed his length at 100 feet, and was quite satisfied that the monster was not of the whale tribes, and was not of a species heretofore known to mariners or described by naturalists. The Tralee Mercury says, " On Thursday last, as the Lord Nelson, one of the boats belonging to the Royal Irish Fishery Com par v, was passing through the Blasket Sound, coast of Kerry, what at first appeared to be a dense volume of fog was seen about a quarter of a mile ahead ; but on nearing the object, it was discovered to be the head and neck of a monster of the serpent genus, whose tremen dous appearance filled the minds of the sailors with inde scribable terror. After gazing for some moments at the dulations of its body and caudal vertebate, it emitted an eructation, not unlike the snorting of a locomotive engine of the first class, and plunged into the depths of the ocean, leaving a long track of foam and wave to mark its course. The fishermen gladly made all sail for Dingle, and, with no small terror, recounted their escape from the marine monster. and it is to be feared they will not be induced to visit that part of the coast for a considerable time. A scientific gentleman now in Dingle, deeply versed in the science of ichthyology, has informed us, en passant, that this strange monster was the Ictheus Magacoddensis,' which was not unfrequently seen some centuries since on the Irish coast." THE POPISH SYNOD IN IRELAND.—It ought to be universally known that the Pope has summoned a SYNOD of the Irish Roman Catholic Church to assemble at Thurles. An accredited organ of the Romish Church in Ireland thus announces the fact :—" The present assetn ciof the speech blage is the first National Council synodically convened, synodically conducted, and synodically to Le concluded in Ireland, since the days of the Reformation, nay, we believe since the days of the English invasion ; its d elibe rations must be viewed in a different light. The vene rated Primate of Ireland, by virtue of special legatine powers, convenes the meeting, presides at its sittings, and closes its proceedings. From its decisions, then, there will be no further appeal. All its acts will be final and imperatively binding upon every member of the Catholic Church in Ireland, both priesthood and people, without exception of rank or station." Let those who desire a petition for synodical action to be revived in the Church of England look to it !—ln consequence of this gathering, the town of Thurles, on Thursday and succeeding days, was a busy place. The Dublin Roman Catholic organ, in describing the scene, says :—" The shops and warehouses were closed, and the aspect of the principal street indi cated the observance which is usual on the occasion of the high festivals of the church, or at times of great public solemnity. The streets were crowded by a continuous tide of people coming in from the adjoining parishes : but the usual street noises, the loud laugh and the passing jest, so usual in the street of a country town, were all hushed : and the fine-looking peasantry, clad in their Sabbath costume, might be seen either proceeding with quiet and subdued demeanour, or standing in groups conversing in low and restrained voices about the coming ceremony. The gates of the chapel yard were kept 'closed, and a strong guard of the constabulary was drawn up around them. At the opposite side of the road, directly fronting the chapel, the gates of the college were seen, guarded in like manner by a body of police. From this gate stretches a smooth and carefully kept carriageway, nearly a quarter of a mile in length, extending to the ball steps and vestibule of the collegiate edifice. This road way divides equally the beautiful lawn which extends in front of the buildi ng . F rom th e ga t e to the front door of the vestibule there were stationed, at a few paces distant from each other, privates of the constabulary force, armed and accoutred as for parade or duty, who were placed there to secure the line of procession from casual in terruption." The reporters omit to state whether the police presented arms as the procession passed along : " At a few minutes after ten o'clock the appearance of some of the attendant officials at the front of the vestibule gave indication that the procession was about to issue forth. The large bell of the chapel and the chimes of the convent were now heard at, intervals, and notwithstanding the immense crowds outside, so complete wasthe stillness and respectful silence that prevailed, that even at a con siderable distance within the college gates, the solemn pealing of the noble organ of the chapel could be heard. At length the glittering cross, borne aloft by the crucifier, was seen issuing from the college vestibule. Through the open valves of the great entrance a glimpse was afforded or more t courts,—Russia, France. _ tered the lists.

Archdeacon Wilberforce, an( its grace preached the sermon on the occasion. He vailed himself of the opportunity for raising a warning last we ... voice. From the Yorkshire Gazette we take the following extract :—" His grace exhorted the parishioners to rightly estimate the benefits which were offered to them—to rejoice in the services of the church, which are based on a sure and safe foundation. The doctrines of the church, as enunciated in her articles and homilies, were in strict agreement with the word of God, and our admirable liturgy was well adapted not only to keep alive true religion among the members of the church; but also to rectify the 'ntiments of those who do not participate in her .public With these means at her disposal, no essential or could long exist in the church. All ages, however, services have had their dangers, and the danger of the present day appeared to he an obvious tendency in some to the corruptions of a church from which this country was by our ancestors rescued—a church which had departed from the true faith—which had substituted many intercessors for the one fallen into dangerous errors lediator, and which had in other respects From such errors, and from all specious and insidious approximations to them, by whomsoever recommenced, lie entreated his hearers to be on their guard, and to hold fast the profession of faith and the truths of the Gospel, as really and plainly taught in the church to which they belonged." AN EXAMPLE FC•ft THE BISHOP OF EXETEH.—How. different from the conduct of Dr. Phillpots was that of the venur.tcd Dr. Trersoh. (h. kat- Archbishop of Tnam, towards a candidate for ordination, who held opinions akin I I to those of Mr. Gorham. A person of rare talent and ,e excellent s offered himself for ordination to tl Archbishop in 1832. He had some scruples the word "regenerate" in the baptismal service, and the .hdp.r.nn. who examined him, declared that he could But not recommen ordination in consequence how did the Archbishop act? The young man had taken his seat in the church, not expecting to be admitted to the ministry, but was sent for by the Archbishop, and what followed is thus described by the candidate himself:—" I met his Grace at the Cathedral door. He opened it and beckoned me to follow him. When we came into the open porch, he said to me, with tears in his eyes, My young friend, it grieves me sorely to see your prospects thus blighted. We have only a few minutes to spare •, but I feel it ray duty to ask you what are the nature of your objections, and also to endeavour to remove them if I can.' I instantly answered, ' May it please your Grace, I cannot consistently with my opinions teach that water baptism is ipso facto regeneration.' Is that your only objection ?' replied his Grace. 'if so, I can at once set your mind at rest on that head. I do not hold water bap tism to be regeneration any more than yourself. But you must recollect, my young friend,' added the Archbishop, ' that the venerable compilers of our Liturgy never could compose a service for the unconverted. The language of the baptismal service, then, is not positive and absolute, but the language of charity, hope, and faith; and as such you are bound to receive and use it. Is this explanation satisfactory ?" Yes, your Grace,' I replied, • perfectly so.' Then,' said the good man, his face beaming with benevolence, run into the vestry, put on your surplice, and join the others to be ordained. " It would have been well if the Bishop of Exeter had taken a lesson from the life of this exemplary and pious prelate, instead of creating dissension in the Church. INDISCREET RAILROAD CONVERSATION s.—A traveller by the South Devon Railway overheard the following conversation on Monday morning, the 12th instant. At Newton Abbot the Rev. Mr. Cosserat, vicar of Abbot skerswell, enterted the train. Addressing a clergyman who sat near him whom he thought he recognised, but who was, in fact, a different person, he asked—" Do you know whether Mr. Gorham is actually inducted to Brampford Speke ? " "Heis ; he was inducted on Sa turday." "By whom ? " "By the Rev. Mr. Howard, vicar of St. Thomas's, Exeter." " Indeed ! I should not have dared to induct him." " Possibly; but I should have felt no scruple." " The clergy are placed in a very painful position. It is a most awful thing ; the bishop will hold no communion with any one concerned in that business." " What does that mean ? " "I do not know. The clergy have conversed much about it ; but I never met with any one who knew what it means. In any event, the bishop cannot take the Lord's-supper, nor can any of the clergy, with such a person." A little more chat to the same effect followed ; the one clergyman stre nuously expressing his horror at the act, the other quietly his satisfaction. Suddenly a stranger, who sat directly opposite, thus interposed. " Mr. Cosserat—it - would be inconsistent with my feeling of what becomes a Christian, a gentleman, and an Englishman, were Ito remain longer ungenerously silent, and by maintaining an unmanly in cognito to allow you incautiously to say something which you might possibly not wish a perfect stranger to hear. I might, had I chosen to accept the living which you hold, have been the vicar of Abbotskerswell, for it was offered to me by the Lord Chancellor ; but I declined it. I am, through the same patronage, the recently inducted vicar of Brampford Speke ; and I hope, when the clergy of this neighbourhood are better acquainted with me, they will form a better opinion of me than you seem to entertain." Mr. Cosserat was, of course, somewhat astounded. He asked pardon, and assured Mr. Gorham that he would not willingly have uttered one word to give another pain. The vicar of Brampford Speke begged that Mr. Cosserat would be quite at ease; that no apology was necessary, for every person was entitled, at his own risk as to the audience, to utter his sincere opinions ; that he had in terrupted him simply to prevent his incautiously dropping any expressions which might hereafter give the speaker himself pain. THE BISHOP OF EXETER AGAIN: The Bishop of Exeter has written a letter to the Churchwardens of Brampford Speke, which is published by Mr. Murray. The right rev. prelate sets out with warning the parishioners of Brampford-Speke, through their churchwardens, of the importance of the case before them ; that, in obedience to his " consecration vows" to be faithful in giving mission to others, he had examined Mr. Gorham on his presentation, when the latter declared that he held doctrines on the subject of baptism of infants " directly contrary to the sure word of God." as set forth in the Articles and offices of the Church of Eng land. After reminding his readers of the importance of the Catechism as a confession of faith, and drawing their attention to various passages from the office of " Minis tration of Public Baptism of Infants," he says that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has decided that Mr. Gorham ought to be instituted : " But the, law," continues his lordship, " not being so un just as to enforce the task of institution on a bishop whose conscience bids him reject the party as unworthy of a charge so sacred—and who would, therefore, be bound to submit to every p en alty which could be inflicted on him rather than yield obedience to such a mandate, institution has been given by the Judge of the Archdeacon's Court, on the fiat of the Archbishop." The question then follows as to the Bishop's duty in this very painful case : " Grave and learned men have advised (and I have read the same advice in divers publications) that I should license some sound minister to reside among you, and to preach to you the pure word of God. But to this it is a sufficient answer that I have no right to issue such a license—that the license would be absolutely void—any minister acting under it, and officiating in your pariah, would offend vainst the law of theChurchtand Avg. 174:, t° be,s:rt:re tttt°°,l44e::3l;., CORRESPONDENCE. titk,AT A GE , A " CHEAP AGE" NOT A " TO THE EDITOR OP THR LIVERPOOL S o t Stet, — ln nothing is the character of this agrelsee:_d and reckless as in its rage for cheapness tides must have every facility for sale and 03 . 3 ,' 08 11! 5 , human sympathies are ostracised; slareil,l't tbef virtually approved ; " everything must be had B . ., te d ket pried of the world" !
