THI BISHOP 07 OIPORD AND CHORAL SCRVICOL—
The Bebop of Oxford has resmesd a complaint from a
pul.hionvir of Benbury as to the introduction of chorel
sermon into the parish church, who prays his lordasip
to direct "a return to the accustomed usage." The
Bishop says be Ins covalence in Mr. Beek, the in.
eauthent, sod MAL "I lee nothing in the Banbury perish
church services to which either yes or I have any right
to object. Toe morning set-rims Cr. ciondoeted as the
Prayer Book ordars, and the clergymen is worthy of
sionmendation, not of censure. who isompliss honestly
with the requirements of lawful authority. As to the
afternoon scrsim (the Litany), it le a nmre grateitous
gift of your vicars; I hare no power to require him to
give it at all, and in my judgment it is altogether an
ungracious act to harp at what is freely given. I believe
that the chanted Psalms in the evening service ars
generally preferred."

SINOULat ACTION TO R 100•11 FOUND MONNT.—At
the Manchester Assizes, • singular and somewhat
complicated ease was investigated. List year, while
some alterations were being made in an old aottage at •
place calkd Gravel Hole, •bag soot aining 110 sovereigns
dropped out from a secret bidiotplaos. The laboarer
who secured this money deposited LIO of it with his
employer, Mr. Madam, for safe keeping, and the rat
be dispowd of in some other way. It appeared that the
cottage had formerly been in tbe ocoupsnoy of • man
named James Wil of very penurious habits, and from
that sod other circumstances it was presumed that be
bad been the original owner of the money which he had
bid away in the cattalo. His daughter, now Yrs. Clegg,
ass his legal repriaantative, and was of coup, minions
to establish her claim to the money found. The greeter
part of the money was, however, spent, and it was hope.
low to amine the labourer for it ;but the present &altos
we. brought to recover from Mr. Modena the sum
deposited with him. All the eireumstaaees of the cue
havi•ie been laid before the Court and duly argued upon
on either side, the jury found • verdict for the plaintiff

He then walked up and down tbe garden till the (dock
struck live, when he made his appesranee again at the
some restaurant, and alwaye at the some place. His

One day he went ay to the comptoir, and asked the pre-
siding ,nrinity there to allow him to run in debt for the

plying with the requ.ist, and immediately esilerl one uf

°LSAT WWilraUr RAILWAY AYTAIIM.—TIie position
of the Great Western Railway Company la neither
creditable to those who have been aineersed is its man-
agement nor to the country. This ii conerastorli
line, tbere is ne special seepereat to hoot at in • pnblie
and rex we ha.. the micerable dividend of 1
per owe on lb. Consolidated Stock postponed, 'lmply
because the directors have been obliged to use op aU
their money, and they are not in credit sufficient to
enable them to borrow. Noe is that the worst of the
dilemma in which the company now finds itself. The
debentures are falling due without money to inset
them, and the applicetions of the dingier, have not
hitherto been entiemeful in obtaining loath to mad*
them to tide over the present difficulties and to have •
chums of floating the prefereoce Meek width they have
in the marked. All this is sufficiently humiliating is
the one* if a company which repremate • capital of
/45,000,000. Tb• debenture portion of this east rum
iney be taken at £14.000.000. Tbe present feeling with
regard to railway debentures is that of dlmntidcctkm
wish the thinsiity which they afford, and ill. doubtful
whether any legislation can restore them to We position
which they ocempied, or were supposed to campy, before
the late derision. Parliament will
to lessen the poetic right which the community hes as-
quired in • railroad, and ell meathres affecting deben-
tures must be subordinated to this fundamental condi-
tion of the property. Not only are debenture holders
diesatialled, but it must now be pretty evideat to
railway directors that • lies with a heavy burden
of debt felling doe at times when it may be im•
pomade from the state of the waked to get renewals,
can never prosper. A percentage more Orion £14.000.000
of deeentare ciabt may mike all the difference between
a dividend oo the original stook sad none. Front what
took piece at the meeting the other day, it was end ct
from the remarks of the chairman that ell he hoped for
was to obtain mime temporary assistance to enable the
board to move on in the old style by potting upon the
market as much preference stock as would keep Weir
beads above water for • year or two longer; in short,
ciontnecting more debt and increasing the burden under
which the entered., already staggers. No one can
elan°e at the long list of capital sem swallowed up by
the oinipthy, and all baring some special conditions
attached relating to the interest or the redeemable
nature of the security, without feeling that meow in
the fees of all this confusion would be little short of •
miracle. Probably, until the women is brought com-
pletely to a stand by a positive act of bankruptcy, it
will be impassible to get any new blood infested into the
macagement ;tapelike( bringing the effete. into such •
condition that the large memos* of the company could

A vary •gteneive scheme was some months ago

it is °truly impossible for Government to enter upon
any sp aviation of the kind, but the idc• may be adapted
to individu el railways with wine hope of mileages.
A•niming, for exemele, that the capital of the Greet
Western Is E45,0d0,000., and It. oat income, after paying
'sprains, for th year F1,800,000_ that is persisely
equal to 4 per cent, on the moth{ of capital. The
company has spent • that amount of money on railway
hills in It. time. Suppe.e it were to go for another and
final Arrangement. Act, permitting it to readjust ell
Its repaid upon the b.as of making an equal dividend
to all. Tbe preference sharekolders would get more
capital maths.' to them in lies of their larger dividend,
the amount tubs subtracted from the holders of those
original stock, which at prieent met the smell dividen•le.
Upon some sash basis, with the &ill net undertaking
that no Nether branches ordeals. should be undertaken,
it would be possible for the company to get its deben-
tures gradually replac d by stock, arid all the worry
and annoyance and danger of the piseest system got
rid of. The certainty of • divi el 4 per cent , and
the chutes of Increase when economy and not @steadies

Western Consols great buoyancy on the Meek markets.
