TROWBRIDGE,

ErritheRDINARY AFFAIR. —Our town has NMI 1111
a state of excrtement during the past few days in
consequence of the disoovery of the bodies of two
infants in a watevcioaet in Mortimer-street. it
seems that a man named Rodman was cleaning out •
water-closet in a square of troupes between North.
street and Mortimer-street, to *Mob several tenants
have access, when he came upon Om budies, amongst
the soil. He flung them upon an ash•fresp, and said
nothing about them. The police, however, set
of the circumstance, and communicated with dem
G. M. Sylvester, surgeon, for the purpose ofr
having the bodies examined. On the arrival'
of the superintendent of police and the surgeon at'.
the ash-heap, Rodman was directed to produce the,
bodies, but after searching for aome time he said he,
did not know where they were! Great dissatis—
faction exists at the conduct of Bodmina.

The Sunday night burglaries which have recently(
taken place here and at Bradford, and which the polies,
have failed to detect, have caused quite a consternation,
amongst the inhabitants, who are obliged to keep their,
houses well watched within. if the scanty number of!
police in this town are unable to do it without. The.
following list of articles, which have been stolen fromi
the residence of film. Foley, widow of the lute Surer,
intendent Foley (being the property of her mni•in- aw,.
Mr. R. Foley), might put some persons on the alert to•
detect the burglars :—One gentleman's gold ring withi
white stone; one ditto with hair band and initisle,.
R.W.F., in shield; one ditto ladies', with turquoise,
stone; one massive plain ditto with inscription on the •
inside; one old-fashioned ditto; net of gold mourning

studs, with words "In memory of ;" set eh gold ditto,_.
two vet in gold coral; one figured gold dttto ; set of
cornelisn ditto ditto ; one set of shirt sleeve linka
gold seal and key attached; one gold scarf pio, with.

FATHER IGNATIUS AND Si'. MAST'S, ABEHDEEN.—..
Father Ignatius has recently been visiting en Episcopal
Church in Aberdeen, where almost every lientish cere-
monial was adopted. 'On Sunday right, says the
Church Times, "at the conclusion of Compline, rather
Ignatius ascended the pulpit and said, 'Wears nowgpisqg
to sing • solemn To Deism as an act of thanksgiving:Os
God. I will tell you why: Some short time ago we wares
asked to pray that • certain church might not fall into.
Protestant hands. Tbe church in question is • veur
beautiful one, built by • Catholic pried, and dedicated!
In honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But after it was
built, on account of debt and other troubles, the priest.
had to leave it, and it was feared that this chunk might,
be sold to Protestants. News has arrived here this.
afternoon that our prayers hive been answered, that
another Catholic priest has bought the church, and that-
everytl.ing will go on as usual. We are to thank GrocU
by singing the To Deur* that He has preserved to the,
Catholic Church this building dedicated to His glory,..
and in honor of His Mother.' The To Deum was then:
most heartily sung by the crowded congregation."

MB. NZWDZOATZ AND DR. DLLATHORNI.—Dr.
I.lllathorne has published • long rejoins! to Kr. Newde.
gate's letter, in which he declines the doctor's "fair
proposal" for an unofficial examination of the Warwick•
shire convents. The gist of the communication Is • sort
of insinuation that since the Protestant Itilisnoe, with
all the help they got from Inspector Yield, amid not
obtain evidence enough to procure a warrant h. •
forcible entry of the establishments in coaon, seal
since Mr. Newdegate refuses the entree now offered tee
him without • warrant, he cannot have any great
amount of faith in the accusations to which he has given,
currency.—Mr. Newdegate, in reply, repeats his former
objection to an official inquiry, and concludes as,
follows ;—You may be satisfied with the result of my'
motion for a committee of inquiry; you may think fit,
to taunt me with refusing the irregular and unautho-
rised visitation of the convent at C,olwich which you.
proposed' you may think that, by maintaining the •
seoresy which envelopes these convents and the condi-
tion of their inmates, that you are doing your duty by
the power under which you annum to exercise antho.
rity within this country. I cam equally satisfied that I
have done and am doing my, dety, and I feel very cone.

Ann Southwood, Hill-street, had pains somas the chest,
