ALARMING ACCIDENT TO THE NIGHT
MMI.

The South-Western fast night mail which leaves
London at nine and is due here about three, met with
an accident on Wednesday night of rather an alarming
nature, the results, however, being less serious than
might have been expected. As it was goinsr at its
usual speed between the West Moon and Wimborne,
the axle of the trailing wheels broke. The cones
{pence was the wheels were soon flying into the
adjoining fields, the engine was severely damaged, and
the fireman and driver had very narrow wawa; ; the
shock threw them into the sir, but they escaped with
bruises. The train was of course brought to a stand-
still, and another engine had to be fetched from
Winaborne. Consequently she did not arrive at
Derchester till about two-and-a-half hours after time.

GODNANSTONE.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE..

-
A disastrous fire occurred here on Wednesday after.
noon last- The fire originated in a mill in the occupa-
tion of Mr. Baistone, owing to the friction of the mill
stones. The greater part of the premises in the parish
are thatched. The whole of the mill and premise*
was quickly destroyed, and also a stable and out-
buildings belonging to the Rev. W. J. Pope. An
easterly wind was blowing at the time, and some of
the burning thatch was conveyed to the opposite side
of the road, and the Manor House, lately occupied by
Mr. Hussey, ignited, and *ma soon burnt to the
ground. Twelve dwelling-houses in all were destroyed.
The Cerne and Dorchester fire engines were quickly
in attendance, and every exertion was used to arrest
the progress' of the flames, but to little purpose, the
thatch being so dry. There is no fire engine in the
parish; had there bees it is thought the whole of the
premises on the west side of the road might have been
saved.

BAPTISM.
tlis (duel.
Sir,—Your correspondent "A Churchman," after
referring to a quotation In my sermon, reported in
your paper, concludes by asking three question, which
Hail to recognise as having anything to do with what
I said on the occasion of my reply to the Bishop of
Salisbury's address. He Nib, first, "What peewee
in the New Testament commands theadministration of
the Holy Communion to women, or where is an example
of its reception by them." I never uttered one word
throughout the sermon as to the administration of the
Communion to women. He asks, second, "What
commands e observance of the first day as
passage i th
place of the seventh?" With what eyes did
'A Churchman" see • word of mine mato the observ-
ance of the first day rather than the seventh? He asks,
third, "Is the noted American divine, so admiringly
referred to, the notorious Ward Beecher, of Tilton,
Moulton and Company r I am certain I said nothingt
to imply that the Rev. Hem 7 Ward Beecher.‘"tt • Par•
ner, or even connected with the firm of Tilton, Moulton,
and Company. There are times, Sir, when one feels ones.
polled to answer "A Churchman" according to his
folly, and as the questions have nothing to do with what
was reported of my sermon, I decline to give answers.
If, however, "A Churchman" will give me" chapter
and verse " for the ordinance of infant aptinkling, 'I
will premise to favour him with a list of two tansdreal
=of scripture proving a demonstration that
to by immersion was the only Apostolic method
of receiving believers into a Christian church. "To the
law and to the testimony" should be the motto of
Churchman and Dissenter, withhitiny:, that in our
belief, we may be kept from ism the teaching of
man, rather than the sure and abiding word of the
Lord. —I am, yours truly.

INFANT BAPTISM.
To At Editor.

' Sir,—Mr. Eames attempts to escape the difficulty I
have set before him by arming a low comic vein
and this evasion he calla ' answering a Churchmai;
according to his folly."
Whether indeed, it is an answer at all, your readers
may judge. The Baptist minister in a published
oontrovervial sermon was not ashamed to quote from
the notorious Ward Beecher an objection to infant
bispislifi,s, in which this" noted American divine"
says, It is not commanded in Scripture, and there is
no well attested case of its administration in the New
Testament." Mr. Eames thus adopts as his own the
absurd argument that if any religious rite or observance
cannot be directly proved or illustrated in all its
details from Scripture," we may as well give it up,
first as last."

In order to show the absurdity of this reasoning,
even from Mr. Ramee's own practice, I applied it to
one or two almost universally observed religious
observances.

Mr. Eames li, I presume, a Baptist minister and as
such keeps holy the first day and not the seventh. I
therefore asked him for chapter and verse authorizing
the change. Again, se no doubt Mr. Eames has
administered the Holy Communion to female Baptists,
I ..had him to show me from the New Testament
where such a practise is commanded or exemplified.
Mr. Banns knows well that if judged by the ru e that
he lays down for others, he has no right to observe the
first day, or to admit female communicants. But he
refuses to be measured by the standard he so charitably
applies to his neighbour,. Shutting his eyes with a
farcical grimace he declares that my questions have
nothing to do with his merman, and so declines to
answer them. If bir. Eamon is really unable to see
their relevancy, he has a great claim to our pity; if his
incapacity is only feigned, he will hardly escape con.
tempt, in spite of the grotesque ingenuity of his
evasion. Mr. Earnes declares that he said nothing to
imply that Ward Beecher was at all mixed up with the
Tilton disclosures Had Mr. Ramos informed his
congregation of Beecher's disgusting and scandalous
relations to the Tilton. (husband and wife), Beecher'e
opinion on infant baptism would probably be amassed
at its true value.

After a letter of evasive clamtrap. Mr. Eames
concludes with a pious ejaculation and prayer, thus
moving that in his opinion "Motleys the only wear."
but I decline both the strained jest and offered prayer
for "I am not ambitious for a motley coat," and
therefore abruptly sign myself .

DETENTION OF AN ORPHAN GIRL IN A

CONVENT.

A Paris correspondent writes :—A case of sequestra-
tint a fa Mortara, which will create considerable
sensation on both sides of the Channel, is about to
come before the law courts here. The story may be
briefly related. Miss M. J. bl an English orphan of
19. On the death of her parents she was placed
under the guardianship of her step-mother. She is
heiress to a fortune of about 00,000, which she cannot
claim before coming of age; in the event of her death
before attaining_ 21 the fortune goes to the said
step-mother. In November of last year, the
step-mother desiring to go to Hayti placed her
ward in the charge of the re! ienscsof of the
Assumption at Auteuil, joist outside Paris. The girl,
an a Protestant, objected, and wished to be put in a
pension, but in vain. She had no sooner entered the
convent than earnest attempt.. were made to induce
her to change her religion. She VMS even subjected
to cruel treatment, and in despair she twice tried to
commit suicide. At length her will broke down, and
she consented to sacrifice her faith and become a
Catholic. But the bad treatment did not cease. The
poor girl continued to write to her relatives, but none
of the letters ever reached their destination. Her
health at last gave way, and she was attacked with
typhus fever. The Lady Superior of the
fearing she might die, decided at length to write to the
yirl's aunt in London. This happened last month ;
the aunt arrived, and claimed her niece, but the con-
vent authorities refused to give her up. She then
applied to the Prefect of Police, but in vain, and
finally appealed to the British Ambassador, who sent
Sir John Cormack to examine the poor girl. This
medical gentleman at once reported that it was abso-
lutely necessary and urgent that Miss NI. J. should be
taken out of the convent. In virtue of this report •
demand was made to the tribunal of referees for the
immediate release of the girl, but the court_postponed
the cane for a week, and appointed Dr. Tardieu to
examine and report on the poor prisoner's state of
health. Here the mattes remains for the present.

THE WARD ALDERMEN'S GOWNS.
To Uie Editor.

Sir,—llow delighted should every one have been to
see the two Ward Abtenoned gowns going to church
last Sunday I The 51eloone Regis one wee ably filled
by a gentleman whose services to the Church kive
been great, as well as his labours for the State; but
how was it the Weymouth one was not filled in the
same manner? Rumour credits the gallant alderman
—who stands the siege of the burgeuuaeeso pluckily
over the stables at the Old Town I —with a fond-
ness for surplices and things of that kind. Now, if it
be desirable to ;nut singers into white gowns at church,
why should not all the elders of the State appear there
in their proper red onus?
I hear there wad some doubt--I will not say debate
—about a learn, l doctor tilling the other red gown.
Whoever could bjectedl The wearing of the
gown does not cower the rank . • man ,• but if
there are any more disputes likely - :his, let the
moot patriotic councillor pay for the much-needed
repairs, instead of calling on the Mayor to expend his

Ward Alderman be chiefly bought by the repair of the
gown. Or. to put it more gracefully, let it be bestowed
on the principle of "1-landsome is who handsome

CREMATION IN CHINA.

A correspondent of the Nora Masa Herald gives an
interesting account of a recent visit to the Island of
Pootoo, off the China coast, which is entirely given up
to Buddhism. No animals are allowed to be killed
there, and neither fish nor animal food may be lainkrl.
Temples occupy the most beautiful spots, awl every-
where shrines are built by the roadside, or Buddhas
carved upon the face of the rocks. The goveniment
of the iskiul is in the hands of the priests, and the
rents from the land all go to the temples, in fact,
though presents of tea, An., are sent to Peking, the
iskuul is more like a dependency than an integral part
of China. The few graves to lie seen suggested to the
visitor the practice of cremation; and not far from
the largest temple, and near the beach, he found one
of the furnaces, which consisted of a small room in the
hillside, arched overhead, the only peculiarity about
it being an excavation in the rocky floor about the
size of a small coffin, intended for the fuel, or to cxeate
a draught. The following is a brief description of the
process, as given by a priest :—Three days after death,
I the body, seated cross-legged and enclosed in a box, is
taken to the furnace. Fuel is placed round it, and
after a suitable religious ceremony, the torch is applied,
and the whole pile is soon wrapped in Hamm. It
requires several hours and 400 pounds of wood to com-
plete the pioneer.
