The Irish Lord Chancellor's judgment in the case of the Dublin Eustace-street Charity, is the first-fruits of the Socinian Endowment Bill, which, to the shame of the christian feeling of the government and the legislature, was last session passed into an act. The income of the Eustace-street Charity amounted to somewhere between £2OOO and £3OOO a year. The ques tion had been long in litigation ; the opinion of Sir Edwd. Sugden openly expressed ; and before the meeting of par liament last year the case was ripe for judgment, At this juncture the Socinian Endowment Bill, long regarded as an object of incredulity, was brought forward. The Ens tace-street Charity was in fact the immediate occasion of its introduction. Of the Eustace-street Chapel Lord Plunkett's father had been the Arian or Socinian minister, and the personal and political influence of his lordship was brought into active operation to save the rich endow ments belonging to it from the impending stroke of long averted justice. RomAmax IN GERMANY.—At the beginning of this month (December) the wife of William Nagel. a lock smith, was delivered of a son. At the incessant repre sentation of the Rev. Mr. Hartnagel, the locksmith, before he married, in February, 1844, was induced to say {his wife being a Roman Catholic) that his children should be brought up in the Roman Catholic religion. As a means of compelling him to this declaration, Nagel, who hoped to contract an advantacous marriage, says, that Mr. Hartnagel assured him that he would not give him absolution if the promise to bring up the children in Loman Catholia religion was not fulfilled. The wife vas delivered in the beginning of this month, agreed sband that the child should be brought up in religion ; but no arrangement had yet been 4th inst. Mr. Hartnagel came to the y urged the wife that she of five dollars if the child a Protestant clergyman. He sent for We are free to confess that there were great errors committed in the management of this case. There were some accretions to the orthodox funds made by Socinians ; the parties supporting the relators should have been more careful to show; to the government and the public that there was no disposition to avail themselves of these excre tions. There was, in particular, an endowment of £lOO a year, made for the widow of the minister, and certain Arian or Socinian aunts of Lord Plunkett's were the founders of this charity. Care should have been taken to show that this fund was not coveted, but it so happened that it was swept into the claim, not with the view of con fication, but, as we learn, for the purpose of having all the legal rights of the parties fairly ascertained. Great, however, was the outcry made by the Socinians. They saw their vantage F round ; and the case of the widow " Mary Armstrong.

He expressly adjures his trustees and successors to employ these funds " as be comes Christians, lovers of Christ and his Church," for the support " of a Gospel minister" to preach " the Gos pel" to the congregation usually " meeting for Divine worsAip" in Eustace-street. These trustees and their successors misapply these funds ; they do not employ them to support the Gospel which St. Paul preached and John Lowton believed. They usurp it for the purpose of teaching another gospel, which is not the Gospel. They show that they do not believe in " Christ" as the Son of God ; that they are not " lovers of Christ" in the sense John Lowton expressed, and all this the Lord Chancellor declares to be proved.

The competitors were—Barlow and Greenbalgh, two Englishmen, natives of Lancashire; M'Cabe, an Irishman ; Steeprock, an:lndian ; Underhill and Jackson, . Americans ' • Gildersleeve and Smith, of New York ; and Taylor, of Connecticut. The distance to be performed was ten miles, over ground extremely heavy, from the rain of the previous evening. The betting was decidedly in favour of Barlow and Oreenhalgh. At starting the two Englishmen led at a tremendous pace, closely fol lowed by the Indian and Gildersleeve. Barlow accom plished the first mile in the short space of 5 min. 10 sec., and the ten miles in the unprecedented short time of 54m. 21 sec. Steeprock, the Indian, was second ; time, 54 m. 53 sec. Greenhalgh third ; time, 55 m. 10 sec. Gilder sleeve fourth ; time, 55 in. 51 sec. M'Cabe fifth ; time, 56 m. 52 sec. Taylor sixth ; time, 58 m. 52 sec. In the last mile, Greenhalgh made a most desperate effort, passed Gildersleeve, and gained 40 seconds on Barlow, though the latter ran this mile 10 seconds quicker than he did. the ninth. Greenhalgh, it is supposed, must have run his mile in about 4 in. 48 sec. Barlow beat the Indian xactly 173 yards, while Greenhalgh was less than 90 It is supposed that had Greenhalgh made (hind hi rr his running in the ninth mile, instead of waiting for Gil dersleeve, he would have beat the Indian, and thus be come entitled to the second prize. The purse was thus divided :—Barlow, 700 dollars ; Steeprock, 250 dollars ; Greenhalgh, 150 dollars: Gildersleeve, 75 dollars; and M'Cabe, 25 dollars. Barlow has since returned to En gland, leaving Greenhalgh hehind to complete some mat ches he had undertaken.
