ROUSBwOr COMMONS.

Morroat.—On the vote of £91,000 for the pay, forage,
and allowances and cost of training of the yeomanry
for the ensuing year, Mr. H. Seymour wished to ask
'whether there wee any intention to make • change in
the drill, arms, and dress of the force, so as to render
it a real auxiliary cavalry to the militia. At present
it was a very expensive form, and not calculated to be
,of much use unless better armed, as with the carbines
now in vogue it was almost impossible to hit any
[ °billet. (Hesr.)—Mr. Lawson said that last merlon
ilikey were told by the noble lord, that as this force was
totally unnecessary for the defence of the country they
Would not be called out for the annual training. A
=lit afterwards • deputation of yeomanry colonels
on the noble lord at the bead of the Govern-
ment, and pressed him to reconsider his determination.
' The noble lord told him that, in consequence of the New
:Zealand war being brought to a conclusion, he should
foment to the yeomanry being called out as usual,
and • supplementary estimate was brought in for that
=. It was rather a singular reason to allege for a
demonstration that war was at an end. (A
' .) He (Mr. Lawson) hoped the war in New
d was now really drawing to a clam ; and follow.
, Me he noble viscount 'e argument, that was a sufficient
mi why the House should now refose to vote this
Milh for these antiquated and rather clumsy warriors.

lass,.)—Th. Marquis of Hartington said the hon. gen.
elliplasi had mot quite ecirrectly stated the oirouinsionme.
'lt was true that it was considered desirable to train the
forte annually, but last year being one in which there
was a heavy charge for the New Zealand war, it
was suggested, as • matter of economy, that, without
any loss of efficiency, the yeomanry might remain
at home that year. But bearing in mind the close
division that had taken place in that House, and after
hearing the representations made by the yeomanry
officers, his noble friend thought that the slight
extra outlay might be made. He did not undentand
the ground on which the hon. member proposed to leave
out this stun, for he had not stated any particular
reason why the yeomanry should not be called out this
year.=The amendment was then withdrawn, and the
' was agreed to.—The next vote was £334,900 to

• se asked why non-commissioned officers in the
army going into the militia had not the same privilege.

cammissioned officers might proceed from the army to the

~ 'Berkeley directed attention to the possibility of a
with America, and to the absenoe of guns capable
treoting our emits from the aggression of a marl-
ewer.—The Marquis of Hartington declined to
-clissamtbe possibility of a war with the United States,
whilst he believed the probability of such a 'Ms-
tontine to be vary remote indeed. With regard to
the coast defences, in case of wor the Artillery
Volunteers would be placed in any works where
their presence might be required, and make use of
the guns that were now in their possession for
practice. He admitted that neither the old nor
the new coast batteries were as yet thoroughly armed.
So far as the new batteries were finished they had been
armed; but those at Plymouth, Spithead, and other
places were not sufficiently advanced to receive their
armaments, which, however, would be of a vary heavy
description. As to the old batteries, he denied that

ts to affect an apprehension- of •
French invasion.—The subject then dropped.

for again inquiring into the administration of the two
offices. Their increase in the gross revenue since the
separation amounted to no less than 25 per gent —The

Intention to subvert the Established Church, and
swearing never to dieturb or weaken the Protestant re-
ligion or the Protestant Government in the United
Kingdom.—Sir G. Grey assented to the introduction of
the Bill, and hoped that when it came to • second read-
ing it would be discussed with • desire to maintein the
security of the Protestant religion, while doing justice
to sny claim for relief.—Mr. Newdegate and Mr.
Whalley protested against the proposed change.—The
House then went into &militates, and leave was given
to bring in • Bill.—Mr. H. Sheridan moved that, in the
opinion of this House, it is expedient that the reduction
of fire inseranm duty made in the last maim be ex-
tended, at the earliest opportunity, to houses, home-
hold goods, and all descriptions of insurable property.
—The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the previous
question, on. the ground that it was inexpedient for
Government immediately before the financial statement
to have its hands bound in the manner proposed by the
resolution. He reminded the House that already this
session it hal declined to anticipat3 the Budget by a
resolution in favour of the Malt-tax. He expressed •
hope it would not stultify itself by taking an opposite
course in reference to the duty on fire insurance.- • Mr.
Hubbard asked if the imuniry was to be governed by the
administration for the time being, or in any degree by
the House of Commons, because, if the House of
Commons was to have any voice in the government of
the country, it had • right at some time to express its
opinion on matters of taxation. At present if they
came before the Budget they were told it was too
premature, and if after they were told they were too
late—The House eivided upon the previous question,
when the numbers were :--Per putting the question,
137, against, 63, majority against the Government, 72.
The question was then put, and the resolution of the
hon, member for Dudley agreed to.—Mr. Goschen
obtained leave to bring in • bill to provide for the
abolition of certain tests in connection with academical
degrees in the University of Oxford.—The report on
supply was brought up and agreed to.
' WIDNESDAT.—The discussion was chiefly in
referenoe to '' Irish rallway travelling on Sundays."
THUREMLY.—The trial of Pelizzioni for what is called
the Saffron-hill murder led to some animadversions on
the behaviour of the police, and Mr. Roebuck asked
whether the Home-offioe had inquired into the matter.
—Sir G. Grey mid that no special inquiry into the con-
duct of the police had been insole, or was called for;
but upon consultation with the law offieers of the
Crown, he had resolved to direct that Pelizztoni should
be put on his trial for stabbing, and he hoped that the
doubts which surrounded the case would then he cleared
up.—Mr. P. Hennessy, the champion of "oppressed
nationelities," has than up the case of the operatives
in the iron trade. The conduct of the masters, he de-
clared last night, was not only cruel but illegal. He
claimed the sympothy of the House on behalf of labour
as against capital. The rash discussion of so grave and
delicate a question was deprecated by Sir G. Grey.
Ile trusted of course that the masters and men would
be reconciled; but the Government could do nothing
except offer friendly advice and maintain the law. As
far as he knew neither side had done anything illegaL—
In committee of supply on the army estimate, the
Marquis of Hartington proposed • vote of £811,424 for
works and buildings. This sum included £50,000 for
fortifications at Quebee, the total cost of which is to be
£200,600. He said he had not the slightest expectation
that the United States contemplated an immediate
attack, but it was desirable that British America
should be able to rely upon its own strength, and do
what all continental countries found themselves obliged
to do, namely, to place the frontier in a state of
tecurity. In order to do this the Colonial Government
had agreed to fortify tiontreal,and the Imperial Govern-
ment would do the same at Quebec. The number of
men that would be required to garrison these works
would be 12,000 hut in case of attack it would be desir-
able to have 35,000 men, and • moveable force of 25,000
more.—This proposal was resisted by Mr. Bentinck,
on the ground that Caned& could not be defended by
fortifications, especially as we mould not afford
troops enough to man them. That country oonld be
protected only by an efficient naval force on the
lakes.—Colonel Jervois himself admitted MI much. Yet
we had not at this moment a aingle iron-plated gunboat.
He moved the omission of the item, £50,000, for fortify-
ing Quebec, as the money could be spent to more
purpose in another way.—An explicit declaration that
Canada, if attacked, would be defended by the whole
power of England, would, in General Peel's opinion, be
the most effectual guarantee against an invasion. But
If such • promise was made, he hoped it wonld be
kept more faithfully than in another well-known
instance,—that, we suppose, the General meant of Den-
mark. He repudiated the idea of abandonieg Canada,
and urged the Government at once to enter upon the
contracts for the completion of the whole works.
Holding that, in the defence of Canada, the Canadians
were bound to take their part, Mr. Adderley supported
the vote, because it would enable the colonists to help
themselves—Lord Bury thought that when Federals
and Confederates had finished their quarrel they would
not be mad enough, in their exhausted state, to plunge
into • war with • great power, having unimpaired
resources for no rational object: but if they did, then
the fortifieatione, though not impregnable, would be
very usefuL—Mr Watkin recommended negotiations
with the States for the renewal of the reciprocity
treaty, and for the limitation of forces on the respective
frontiers.—Mr. Halliburton (whom we all know better
as "Sam Slick") gave the Yankees') credit for too
mach 'cuteness to think of annexinglthe "blue-noses"
north of the lakes.—After some words from Mr. 1

Lefevre, who opposed, and Lord R. Mostague who
supported the vote, Mr. C. Fortesoue spoke on behalf of
the Colonial Department, of whichchella under-
secretary. He argued that se weld not do lees than
erect these fortifications, and that this year there wee
no time to do more than was proposed.—Then Mr.
Lowe repeated the opinions he expressed in the former
debate that Canada could be best defended
beyond its own limits. It would be • false iense
of honour that would lead us to expose our
soldiers to slaughter, or ourselves to the humiliation
of having to withdraw them when an attack was
made. Why not tell the Canadians frankly, "If you
choose to remain with us we will fight for you, not
on your own soil, but where we can strike with
effect?" And, at the same time, it might be well to
give Canada the option of getting up aimu inde-
pendent state, if ehe felt that a connection with
England was a source of danger to herself.
A speech running so counter to all the sentiment of the
question amid hardly be popular, and expressions of
dissent occasionally interrupted Mr. Lewes hard argu-
ment.—Mr. Disraeli accused Mr. Lowe of reviving the
I old argument which the Whigs of half • century ago
used against the Peninsular war—that it was idle to
resist a powinful antagonist, because one could not
stand up against him. But wee the anticipated adver-
sary in this care so very strong Just now he was, but
he would not always be so. If the United States kept
faith with their cniditers, as he believed they would,
they could net maintain • permanent force of 700,000
men. On the other hand, • series of well-devised forti-
fications would add • third to our force; and the dis- •
parity between the defender and the assailant would,
a year or two hence, not be very great. Mr. Lowe had •
exaggerated our weakness as much as the power of the
States. Be said we had not a general, but the alarm
thus caused should be dissipated, now that Mr. Lowe's
own qualifications had been disoovered. If • cam-
paign could be settled by chopping login, then the
ex-Vies-President of the Council would be one of
the greatest generals in the world. He agreed to the
vote, but regretted the Government did not ask it on
their own reeponsibility, and without giving finch
publicity to Colonel Jervoia's report. He hoped the
House would not show a hesitation, lest it should dis-
courage Canada at a very anxious and critical moment.
A grand future lay before that country. It bed all the
elements of a national life ; but if it developed into an
independent elite, he believed it would be in the form
of a republic, which would be opposed to its traditions
and resent experienee.—Mr. Cardwell was able to make
an announcement which relieved the discussion of some
of its gravity and embarrassment. A mid cheers lie
said that since he came into the House hated received
• despatch from Lord Monok, stating that Mr. Seward
had telegraphed that his Clovemment was willing to
withdraw the notice for the abrogation of the treaty of
1817, and that the passport system would cease imme-
diately. When Mr. Bright declared that he would vote
with Mr. Bentinck, the latter was seen to be somewhat
disturbed.—The member for Birmingham ridiculed the
idea of defending • frontier of 1,500 miles, at distance
of 3,000 miles from our own country, against the whole
forces of the United States, which were close upon the
spot, If • war arose, it would be on account, not of
Canada, but of England, and it was only natural that
the colonists should ohafe under the burden of taxation
which these fortifications would impose upon them. He
feared that the House would allow the Government to
guide them blindly in this instance, but it was a sad
delusion to fancy the Governrneat knew snore or were
better able to judge than private members—Lord
Palmerston construed this into a compliment, for it im-
plied that the Government had acquired the ostafidenee
of the House. He hoped the amendment would not be
pressed, for the mover himself admitted that we were
bound to defend Canada, and asked only for delay.
With one or two exceptions the House was unanimous
on the subject. Apologising for the pun, the Premier
said that his late colleague' the ex-Vice-President of
Council, had taken a very low view of the q nestiou, which
was really one of Imperial importance. We were on
very agreeable terms with the States just at present,
but we must be prepared for every contingency. If
Canada f elt strong enough toed up for herself, they would
bid her God-speed. If she obese to remain bound to
the mother-country, they would give her every protec-
tion. The experienee of the present American war
showed the value of fortifications in enabling • small
force to resist an invader of greater strength, and retain
• hold of the vital points of a situation. As it wee most
desirable that there should not be any appearance of
discord on this question, be appealed to Mr. I3entinck
to withdrew his amendment. 'Phis Mr. Bentinak would
have done, but there wee a cry-of "divide" below the
gangway, and permission to withdraw the motion was
refused.—On • division there were 275 to 40 for the

_
vote as proposed by the Government.
FRIDAY.—The second reading of the Lanarkshire
County Prison Board Bill was opposed by Sir K Cole-
brooke and Lord Etch°, and, upon a division was thrown
out by 95 to 39. Lord flotharn gave notice that, on
the motion for going into committee on the Mutiny
Bill, he should call attention to the length of time
during which soldiers, tried by ootu-t-martial, were kept
lin confinement waiting the promulgation of their son-
tences.—ln answer to Mr. A. Mills, Lord Palmerston
stated that it was intended to adjourn the House for
the ranter holidays from Friday, the 7th of April, until
Monday, the 24th. On the order for going into com-
mittee of hip*, Mr. B. Cochrane asked whether the
pensions assigned under the convention of the 29th
March, 1864, between her Majesty and King of the
Helene, had been paid in accordance with that
oonvention ; and whether Government intended to
take steps for the security of the recioiente of those
pensions by placing such British subjects as served
her Majesty under the late lonian oonstitutton on
the same tooting as pensioners of the British Crown.
Layard maid the Greek Government had not
objested to pay the pensions to persons who bad been
in the widee of the lonian and of the British Govern- .
nue* and whose pensions bad seemed under the laws
of the island themaelvem This pensions had been I
paid, though not punctually, sad them bad been two
pessimists who had not remised them, both of wham
had refused to go through • common form as a
prelimiaary to receiving their pensions. Mr. Matins
brought under the notice of the House the petitions of
the general committee of the Thames and Isis Naviga-
tion and the mayor and corporation of Wallingford,
oomplaining of the decayed state of the upper portion
of the Thames and the probable destruction, ere

long. of the . navigation of that part of the river.
lie called upon the Government to appoint
Royal commissioner or a eommittee of that House to
inquire into this subject, or introduce come measure to
prevent a continuance of the present state of things.—
Mr. Gibson should be willing to agree to a committee
of inquiry for the purpose of aseertaining what was the
condition of the navigation, and whether any measures
could be devised by Parliament which would enable it
to enpport itself. If, as the result of snob an inqoiry,
It were ahown that it presented • proper aecurity, an

EXTRAORDINARY CABE.—A. case was disposed of on
Friday at the Lewes Assizes, before the Lord Chief
Baron, of a very extraordinary character. Mr. Henry
Mowbray, an elderly man of respectable appearance,
and who has for tunny years held a responsible position
In the town of Brighton, surrendered to take his] trial
upon an indictment charging him witligmisdemeanor in
having committed wilful and corrupt perjury before the
judge of the county:court aieißrighton. Mr. Sergeant
Parry was specially retained,fand Mr. Pierce, for the
prosecution. The circumstances under which the charge
was preferred were very peculiar, It appeared that
the defendant, in addition to carrying on a business at
Brighton, was the agent for an accidental death in-
surance company, and he was acquainted with the pro-
secutor; who is • person of great respectability, and who
bolds an official position in the town; and a few weeks
back the defendant, who was upon friendly terms with '
the prosecutor, called uponahltn and sucked him to
effect an insurance against accident with the com-
pany he represented. The prosecutor expressed his
willingness to do, and the defendant pressed him to
insure to the extent of a£s premium, but he would
not insure to that amount, but did so for a sum that
required the payment of Lies premium, and he gave a
cheque for that amount. Proemintor put the proper
amount of 21 in the counterfoil of the cheque, bat he
drew the cheque itself for the sum of £5; but owing
to the counterfoil being correct the mistake was not
discovered until he obtained his cancelled cheques from
the bankers, and he then immediately applied to the
defendant for the restitution of the £4 that he had
paid him in excess. The defendant made • long state-
ment to the jury when he was called upon for his
defence, in which he again asserted that he
had paid the money, and said that if he had
not he must have been labouring under • most
extraordinary mistake, and he urged the improbn-
bility that he should have sacrificed the respectable
position he had so long enjoyed for such • paltry sum
as the one now in question. The jurygfound the de-
fendant guilty, and the Lord Chief Baron, in passing
sentence, said he thought the defendant had been ill-
advised in taking upon himself to conduct his own
defence, and expressed his opinion that if he had been
defended by counsel • different result would have been
arrived at. The jury, however, had found him guilty,
and he was bound to peas sentence upon him, and that
sentence would be that he should be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for four months. He would, how-
ever, say that if the prisoner or his friends chose to
memorialise the Secretary of State, either for a pardon
or a commutation of the sentence, and he was applied
to, he should give his opinion in reference to the ose.
MR. JUSTICE KEATING ON THE SHREWSBURY
SWINDLE. The Shrewsbury Assizes opened on
Thursday. In the calendar appears the name of
Thomas Ellis, better known as John Morgan, who, it
will be remembered, some two months ago succeeded
in duping the magistrates of Shrewsbury, and, by their
official aid, robbing Mr. Charles Ashworth,tof Bolton,
of all his portable property, under the pretence that he
was a policeman from Carmarthen, armed with •
warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Ashworth au a
thief. Mr. Justice Keating, in his charge to the grand
jury, said: This case is one of the mostgremarkable and
astonishing that has ever come under my notice. ThAt •
gentleman of respectable position and station, coming to
an hotel in Shrewsbury for the purpose of continuing
his journey on the 'following rooming, should be
suddenly charged with having stolen his own property
from a person be had never seen, and at a plate where
he had never been,— that this should have been effected
by a youthful, but already convicted thief, who upon
hie unsupported assertion that he was himself a police-
man received the most implicit credence,—that the
gentleman so charged should havetbeen obliged to give
up his property into the hands of that thief, should be
taken to the station-house, and-there, basing declared
who he was, whence heloame, and whitherl he was
going, should nevertheless be taken before the magis-
trates,—that having repeated before them the statement
made at the police-office, it should be utterly disre-
garded by them, nay, that hie request for permission
to communicate with his friendsj(should have procured
for him only a remand for four-and-twenty hours, and
that all this should have been effected by a youthful
convict, flourishing a piece of paper which he called a
warrant. These are things which one might expect to
find represented on the stsge, or in the pages of &newel;
but if you were told that they actually took place in
the county of Salop, in this town of Shrewsbury, where
we are assembled, you would say that it was absolutely
impossible, if you did not know that it was literally
true. His lordahip then gave a)cirounnstantial account
of the proceedings of Ellis, and continued: Gentlemeo,
this to a certainty is • most extraordinary and astonish-
ing case. That all these things could have taken place
without greet onlpability resting somewhere is difficult
to conceive ; at the same time, whether suoh culpability
exists, and where it is chargeable, does sot concern the-
nature of your inquiry to-dey, which will be confined to
the evidence accompanying the bills sent up to you as
against this man, including, as they do, the charges of ,
felony, perjury, and forgery. The statement made by
the prisoner himself before the magistrates is almost as
extraordinary as the details of the sue itself; for be
literally treats with contempt the credulity of those upon
whom he had sosuoceasfully imposed, and points out how
the slightest exercise of precaution on their part would
'have raved him from the serious dilemma in which be
foetid himself as the result of their singular credulity.
'lbis much to be lamented that Mr. Ashworth should,
under snob circumstances, have suffered a great income
venienoe and annoyance. I observe, in describing his
property, he mentions that on his ring were his crest,
arms, and his motto, "Fars recte nil time." That Mr.
Ashworth followed the foe recte I have no doubt, and if
he had placed the same confidence in the nit time it
would have been better for him. (Laughter.) On Fri-
day Ellis was brought up for examination. The greatest
excitement prevailed, portraits of the prisoner were in
the shop windows, and hawked In the streets, and long
before the hour fixed for the commencement of the trial
the doors of the Court-house were besieged by an
anxious throng of people. The court was crowded to
suffocation, and the greatest difficulty was experienced
in obtaining ingress or egress.—Mr. Charles Ashworth
deposed that he arrived at Shrewsbury on the 27th of
December, from his residence at Fairfield, near Man-
chester, being on his way to visit Mrs. Darby at
Stanley Hall, near Bridgenorth. He slept at the
Raven Hotel, and was at breakfast in the coffee-room
next morning, when the prisoner came in and asked-
him if his name was George Thompson. Witness said
it leS9 not, and told him who he was, where he came
frovn, and whither he was going. Prisoner, however,
produced a paper, which he said was a warrant for his
apprehension for robbery. Witness told him he made
a mistake, and ordered him out of the room, telling him
that if he was not • detective he would throw him out
of the window. He then called in Police-eonstable
Adams, and witness then accompanied both the prisoner
and Adams to hie bedroom. They told him to pack up
his portmanteau, which he did; and he was told by the
prisoner to show what he had in his pockets. He re-
fused, but Adams advised him to do ao, or he would be
searched. Witness then put out of his pockets all he
had, inoluding a ring, parse with £8 17s. 6d., and a
farthing. This was all taken possession of by the pri-
'osier, who, to his surpriae, produced • key which un-
locked his portmanteau. Witness was then taken in a
cab to the police-station, thence before the magistrates,
and by them was remanded till next day. Mr. Ash% orth
produced a letter which he bad received from the pri-
soner on the 16th of January last. It was signed
"Thomas Ellis alias John Morgan," and begged Mr.
Ashworth to forgive him, and not to prosecute him, pro-
mising that all his property should be restored—On
_otoss-examination by Mr. Neste, Mr. Ashworth
said it was not true that the ring had been
given hiin by a very beautiful young lady, or
'by a lady at all, and he bad never said that it
had. The ring was purchased—he would not
say with his own money, bet no lady had anything to
do with it. He was not aware that the gift had beau
the subject of eery on the part of any of his friends.
It had never been coveted by any of them. He believed
the prisoner was the only one who had ever coveted it.
(A. laugh.) As to the farthing, he found that on the
beach at Brighton, and had kept it on account of a little
circumstance connected with it. He had never sus-
pected at any time that this was a hoax played upon
him by some of his friends or acquaintances. He was
not aware of any rivalry between him and others in
respect of • lady. When at the police-office he remon-
strated with the chief constable (Hughes), but they
would listen to nothing. All they would do was to strip
him of every particle of his property, and keep him in
custody. That was the whole of the assietenoe that
he had from the Shrewsbury police. When he
got before the magistrates they treated him in jciat
the same way as the police had done. There ,
was one spirit of brotherhood throughout. Whether
he appealed to Caesar, or to Festus, it wile all
the same. They wernid not telegraph to Mrs. Darby,
well-known in the county, nor to his friends at Man-
cheater, they would do nothing but remand him. Dr. ;
Watts appeared to be the acting magistrate. At any I
rate be seemed to hold the reins. He (Mr. Ashworth) ,
attached more value to the ring than to all the other
property together. He should mach Mos to have it I
again--Proof was then given that the prisoner bad I
never been in the Carmarthen police-force, and that he

ARDRII,OS OF DR. GRAY, AT CaPitvowle—The same
week which records the judgment of the Privy Council,
has brought us the report of a charge delivered by
Bishop Gray at the third Synod of the Diocese of Cape.
town, in connection with the Church of England in
South Africa, on January 18. In that very able and
w,mprehensive address, the Bishop reviews the relations
of colonial Churches to the State and to the Church of
England, the contract of Bishops, the true security for
Unity in the Faith and Communion of the Church, the
Com:citation of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council,
Separation from the Church, the Colonies publieatione in
Africa, ateps towards union, and the probable issue of the
present stroggle,of whiehDr. yemphatically remarks :
—"'Ehe queation will have often suggested itself to our
minds, my brethren—what will be the issue of the discus-
sions, agitations, distresses of these times? And lam
flinch mistaken if the answer has not some forth from
within—' Good, if we look up with a single eye to
God, to earn to do His will, and just in proportion as
we do this.' It is because I think there is this single
eye in the great body of its clergy that I believe that
, God is, through the discipline of sorrow and rebuke,
administered by the powers of the world with which
she has too closely allied herself, preparing the Chursh i
of England to become, what n many ways she is
calculated to be, the centre round which all who
mean to abide by the primitive, Catholic, Apostolic
faith, without the later additions of Rome, or the still
later additions of the Rationalist, may gather them-
selves for the maintenance of that faith, and have no
intention of parting with it. Her Convocations have
asserted and exercised their inalienable right to
condemn false teaching. Her one hindrance to the
maintenance of the faith is the existence of her
modern Court of Appeal, through means of which
the world has obtained a power over her faith
and teaching which, until our day, it never
had. Who can doubt that that grievance will be
remedied? The State cannot allow a Court to remain
which, ever since Its lately bestowed powers have been
exercised, has been the chiefest source of discord in
the Church, and of men falling away from it. And are
not these assaults upon long and universally received
revealed truth leading men everywhere to consider the
ground upon which the faith rests, and to see that the
true principles of the Church of England will alone
pr_eserve for us, and for our children, the Bible, as the
Word of God, and the faith ones for all delivered, with.
out addition or corruption. How do I know for oertain
the Bible is the Word of God—what the true °aeon B—
in what light I am to regard the sacred Scriptures—
except through the voice of the Church, to whom the
Lord promised that He would guide it into all truth 1
How do I know that the Creeds contain all essential
fundamental truth, except through the same voles,
which assures me that they are in strictest accordanee
with Holy Writ? The rude assaults upon the faith in
our day are teaching us that we cannot do without
either the Bible or the Church."

A FEMALI MONBTIS.—At the Westminster police-

The Postmaster-General has announced a reduction
in the rates of inland postage. Hitherto, if a letter
exceeded, by ever so little, the weight of an ounce. it
was charged 4d., and so in proportion, all charges after
the first being made by the ounce. The reduction mu-
sista in charging the rate all through by the half-ounce,
so that an ounce and a half will be 3d. instead of 4d.,
and so on at the rate of an additional penny for every
half-ounce.

Western Railway Company, haat been charged before
the Bradford-on-Avon magistrates, with selling timber,
the property of the company. There is • ruined mill,
near Bradford, belonging to the company, in which the
prisoner has for some years, it seems, taken up his
quarters—true Robinson Crusoe style—and so well has
he covered his retreat that he has enjoyed undisturbed
possession for some years. till last Friday, another
labourer paid him a visit, and there saw a boat in worse
of construction. He called the attention of the ganger
to the domicile, arid the foreman found that the
prisoner had sawn off some joists in the building, and

taking poaching expeditions down the Avon. He is
eommitted for trial for felony.

The prosecution against the manager and secretary of
the Unity Bank, of which we have heard little for some
time past, has now been formally abandoned. It
appeared that the parties for the prosecution having dis-
covered that the fends of the bankrupt estate of the
bank were not legally applicable to the expense of the
trial, applied to the Government for assistance; but
Sir George Grey replied that he was not aware of any
peculiarity in this case to call for the special inter-

robbery of the shop of Mr. Howard, jeweller, Market-
street, Manchester, when goods of the value of £3,000
were taken, was apprehended on Monday, in Boundary.

, brought before the magistrates at Manchester, but the
evidence against him was not gone into, and he was
formally remanded.
The Postmaster-General has made an attempt to fettle
the long and angrily-contented dispute with the men
of the London Post Office in the matter of their wages.
I The highest rate of wages to be allowed to the letter-
sorter' is 50s. a-week ; the lowest, 23e. The highest to
'tampers, 355. ,• the lowest, 21s. The highest to
carriers, 30s. ; the lowest, 20s. ; while the supplemen-

are reminded that, in addition, they have pensions,
medical advice, medicines gratis, a fortnight's holiday
without deduction from their wages, and if they are
temporarily laid aside by sickness they have two-thirds
of their allowances. In addition, the letter-carriers hays
their uniform clothing, and are permitted to take
Christmas gratuities.
TERRIBLE SHIPWRECKS AND LOBS OP Lire.--Shields,
Sunday Midnight.—One of the most terrific gales we
have had this winter has been encountered upon our
coast to-day. It has blown from SE for the last 24
hours. Several hundred ships have run for the Tyne
this day. The schooner Quickstep, of Exeter, in cowing
into harbour shifted her ballast, was thrown by the sea
on to her broadside, and it was thought she would
founder in this crippled state. However, she was driven
by the force of the wind and sea into port, where she
was safe. Her mate is drowned and his brother badly
hurt, A Yarmouth schooner —name unknown—has
lost her mate overboard. The most tragical scene,
however, of the day's storm occurred at four o'clock
this afternoon. A coal laden brig, the Burton, of Col-
chester, was driven to the northward of the harbour,
and struck on the foundation of the North Pier, The
Lifeguard Brigade fired a line between her masts: the
crew had taken to the rigging. While a sailor lad was 1
endeavouring to lay hold of the rocket line the vessel
knocked her bottom oat, fell to pieces, and drowned
rill hands, except the mate, in the presence of
thousands of spectators who crowded the pier. The ;
mate, George flasell, was picked up floating upon •
deck-plank by the Constance lifeboat. He was you
• much exhausted when landed, but he has recovered.
The body of Miss Jane Ferguson, who was lost in the
Stanley steamship four months ago, was picked up to-
day. It has been identified by a ticket issued to her
at Aberdeen. it has been blowing a gale from ESE all
night, with a high sea (writes P. J. Niseent, ). As
the brig Border Chieftain, of Hartlepool, coal laden,
was coming in this morning, about nine o'clock, in
charge of a pilot, a sea struck her and carried away her
steering wheel, injuring the man at the helm. She
was then driven on to the stones south of the North
The Constance lifeboat.of the National Institution,
stationed Isere, was at once manned and launched in a
very heavy sea. She soon reached the vessel, and suc-
ceeded in taking off the captain, mew, and pilot,
including the injured man, in all eight men. The
Shields boat came down to the inside of the bar shortly
after. The sea is still fearfully high, and several vessels
entering have had narrow escapes. Others are yet in
sight, so there may be further casualties.
