ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE.—At Clevedon, on
Wednesday, the commissioners appointed to inquire
into the case of Archdeacon Denison met to pro
nounce their decision. This was given by Bishop
Carr, who said on behalf of himself and his brother
commissioners that, after due consideration of the
depositions taken before them, and of certain printed
sermons and documents annexed to the depositions,
declare their unanimous opinion— Ist. That, as
respects the preaching, publishing, and making
known or public the above sermons (numbered 1,2,
and 3), by Archdeacon Denison, within the diocese
of Bath and Wells, that there is suftleient prised
facie grounds for instituting further proceedings.
2nd. The commissioners, having carefully examined
the aforesaid sermons and charges specified in the
commission, declare their unanimous opinion that
the proposition of Archdeacon Denison that "to all
who come to the Lord's table, to those who eat and
drink worthily and those who eat and drink un-
worthily, the body and blood of Christ are given, and
that by all who come to the Lord's table, by those
who eat and drink unworthily and by those who eat
and drink unworthily, the body and blood of Christ
are received," is directly contrary and repugnant to
the doctrine of the Church of England, and especially
to the articles of religion, and to the doctrines as set
forth in the aforesaid sermons with reference to the
real presence in the Holy Eucharist, are unsupported
by the articles taken in their literal and grammatical
sense, and contrary to the doctrines and teachings
of the Church of England, and have a very dangerous
tendency ; and the commissioners are of opinion,
secondly, that there are sufficientprinui facie grounds
for instituting further proceedings. The commis
sioners, at the same time, think it due to the Vene-
rable the Archdeacon of Taunton to state that, in the
sermons under consideration, he has expressed his
full assent and consent to the Articles of religion,
and that be has ex amino condemned the doctrine of
the Church of Borne, and particularly the Ronnsh
doctrine of transubstantiation. The commissioners,
having fully considered the subject, and now delivered
their opinion, bog to state the proceedings, so far as
they are concerned, at an end.
A HINT FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS.—The examina
tions for thirty assistant-surgeoncies in the service of
the East India Company are now proceeding. These
tine appointments begin with 6001. a year, and, after
a time, rise to 1,00(11. There is also a retiring pen-
sion. Yet, strange to say, for these thirty vacancies
there are only thirty-four candidates. It seems in•
credible that the medical profession should have
shown itself so little eager to take advantage of so
splendid an opening. Among the candidates is Mr.
Chtickerbuuy, a native gentleman, and some years
ago a distinguished student at the London Univer-

sity.
EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL IN 1854.-210,742
persons have taken their departure from the port of
Liverpool as emigrants during the past twelve months,
being at the rate of more than 4,000 per week; and
for the conveyance of this multitude of people, com-
posed of portions of the surplus populations of at
least three European nations, a fleet of 957 ships
have been employed. 194,922 of these, chiefly Dish
and Germans, have proceeded to the United States ;
41,491 to the Australian colonies ; about 2,000 to the
North American colonies; and the remainder, about
200, to the East and West Indies.
WORKING OF THE NEW BEER ACT.—Mr. a Beckett,
the police magistrate, contributes his experience of
the working of this measure. lie says :—Previous
to its coming into operation the business at this
court was not only considerably greater on Monday
than ou any other day in the week, but it consisted
chiefly of cases of drunkenness, and of assaults,
more or less violent, that had been committed under
its influence. From the day when the act came into
effect I have kept an account of the number of
charges of Sunday drunkenness which have been
brought before me on every Monday on which I have
sat here, and I furnish you with the result :—Mon.
day, August 14th, one case of Sunday drunkenness ;
August 21st, not one; August 28th, one; September
4th, one; September 18th, two; September 25th,
three ; October 9th, one ; October 16th, one ; October
23rd, four; October 30th, one ; November Gth, not
one ; November 13th, three ; November 20th, five ;
November 27th, four; December 4th, two; December
11th, one; December 18th, four ; January Ist, 1855,
