MEN'S CHRISTIAN 'ASHOCIATION.—We learn
that the canal weekly Exeter Hall lecture of this asso-
ciation will be omitted, the Rev. Dr. Magee, rector of
Enniskillen, having declined to fulfil his engagement.
'We understand that the rev, gentleman declines on the
ground that he regards all Dissenters as schismatics,
and the inure schismatical in proportion to their ortho-
doxy. To lecture, therefore, in • course with Mr.
Martin or Mr. Spurgeon would have violated the prin-
ciples on Dr. Magee acts.

A correspondent at Florence writes :—" In Florence
there dwells an elderly and eccentric Englishman, with
several hundreds per annum and a deficiency of common
sense. This gentleman first turned Catholic, and then
mestinisrist. A woman who was his 'medium' having
died, his eonfessor supplied him with another, a medium
in direct eounnunication with the Blessed Virgin, by
means of whom not only WRS the mesmerist able to per-
form all sorts of wonders, but he also received several
warnings from the same Divine souroe, and counsels,
most of which had a tendency to alienate the good
gentleman's property from his family for the benefit of
a certain jesuitical institution."
