MI Rut. J.-Li,lsgr. On Monday evening •
meeting wee held at Sheffield of the subscribers to •
testimonial fund for the Rev. J. Limey. Dr. Law
occupied the chair, and explained that the meeting was
called to decide what should be done with a subearip- ,
tion which was being raised to show their unabated
edema and respect for the rev, gentleman. It had ,
been intended, in the first instance, to raise the sum
necessary to pay the fees to enable Mr. Livesey to take !
the degree of doctor of divinity. Accordingly the
churchwardens had written to Mr. Livesey to ask his
concurrence, and had received a reply declining to
accept the proposed honour. The rev. gentleman wrote
as follows :—" The stegree of Doctor of Divinity, so
sparsely conferred by our venerable English universi•
ties, has ever been esteemed an honour by great and
good men; and no one can more highly appreciate it than
myself. I think, however, you will agree with me
that recent events (except as stimulants to Christian
exertion) had far better be buried in oblivion, and that
such a distinction, in contrast with such events, would
be wisely withheld. If, too, as my friends believe, I
have been enabled by Diving grace to act with Christian
meekness under circumstances not • little trying to
human nature, will it not be more consistent with
the meekness of wisdom and with Christian simpli-
city to be content with the grade common to my
brethren in the ministry, and to endeavour to 'purchase
to myself a good degree' in the school of Christ by
more devoted Lamers in Ris service?' Under these
circumstances it was unanimously resolved to present
Mr. Livesey with the money which had been collected.

Some find it difficult to account for the peculiar

superiority Stiles from the Chinese having long covered
many of e teas in general use with powdered lacing;
solouring both the brown perished leaves and the choice
spring growths alike, so RI to pass off the bad with the
good. The public therefore with good reason object to
the coloUring of an article used as daily food. horn!-
