RECENT SECESSIONS OF ENGLIM ,
.CLERGYMEN

TO IWMAN CATHOLICISM.
That was not an idle boast that wee recently made by a
Roman Catholic divine with regent to secessions of Engßah
Church clergymen to Rome. Here is a list of only recent
seceders :—The Rev. W. M. Hunnybun, M.A., and the
Rev. Verney Cave-Brown-Cave, M.A., both of All Sainte',
Margaret-street ; the Rev. J. It. Madan, M.A., president of
the Missionary College, Warminster ; the Rev. G. R.
Burrows, K A., of Liverpool; the Rev. Alfred Nowdigate,
M.A., vicar of Kirk Hallam, Derby ; the Rev. Willi*
Nevins, of Southampton; the Rev. IL J. Py_e, rector of
Olifton-Campville ; the Rev. George B. Yard, M.A.,
(brother of Canon Yard, just elected Proctor in Convoca-
tion) ; the Rev. John Higgins, B.A. curate to Prebendary
Clarke, of Taunton; the Rev. Septimus Andrews, M.A.,
student of Christ Church and vicar of Market Harborough;
the Rev. C. 11. Moore, 8.A., student of Christ Church ;
W. M. Adams, B.A. Fellow of New College; Rev. W. C.
Robinson, M.A., silo Fellow of New College, oxford ;
the Revs. F. Down, and Y. N. Wyndham, of St. George'd
Reel; the Rev. George Akers, of Melling, Kent; the Rev.
Gordon Thompson, of Christ Church, Albany-street; C.
Moncrieff Smith, of Cheltenham ; the Rev. Reginald
Tuke, of Si, Mary's, Soho; the ltev. Pd. Tyke, at Oriel
College; the very Rev. Dr. Fortescue (brother-in-law of
Archbishop Tait); the Rev. W. Humphrey, of I>undee ;
the Rev. T. H. Grantham, of filiford ; the Rev. Lord
Francis ii. G. Osborne, of Elm; and the Itev. R. S.
Hawker, of Morwenstow. What wonder that the sheep
should follow the ehepherda—that if the leaders go the
people follow there) It will not fail to be observed that
where any of these seceders were in charge of souls, they
belonged to churches in which Ritualistic practices are
carried on, while several others have been overcome with
scruples while studying at Oxford. Verily Rome is busy
in ,England.

A STRANGE SCENE IN A PARISH CHURCH.
On Sunday lut (says the Dundee Advertiser) an extra-
ordinary scene took place in the Parish Church of
Aberdalgie. At the hour for opening the forenoon service
no precentor appeared, and when the minister (Rev. Mr.
Share) had given out • portion of a psalm he asked if any
gentleman would kindly lead the singing. An old man
sitting close to the pulpit said," lU sing, if ye like •," and,
his offer being acoepted, he found his way to the pre-
centors box with considerable difficulty, being very lame.
The singing bad not been much more than commenced,
I although it WWI twenty minutes pastusnal time of opening
the son Ice, when the regular precentor (who stays in
Perth) came into the church In a rather excited state. He
I went forward, and after throwing down his hat and
umbrella looked to his watch to see if he was much late,
' and then cried to the old volunteer in the box, " Como
down out of that. let you know you have no business
there." Great interruption was thus caused, and tho
praise of the congregation was goon stopped. The mintter
tried to calm the precentor, but it was no use, for after
some words be went up to the box and forcibly ejected the
old man. The disturbance was brought to an end by the
minister engaging in prayer, after which he preached •
sermon ; but there was no more singing that day.

BRITISH CORN TRADE.

- -
Foreign sources of supply multiply, and old ones
increase their shipments to an extent that fill up our
granaries until stores, not usually depots for grain, are
pressed into the service of our London wharfingers.
For this reason some 35 to ss per quarter extra must
be charged to pay costs of landing and storage, thus
furnishing a fresh reason for holders to keep up value.
Indeed, there are numerous reasons why low prices
this season will be a mistake, notwithstanding which
value is but the same as at the corresponding period
of last year.
Circumstances have been stronger than opinion for
the last two months, so that experienced merchants
only wishing to do a lair and sound trade, have
suffered losses in common with reckless and poor
sp:culators.
The actual course of our British markets has
scarcely changed the situation. Wheat and flour
cannot be quoted higher or lower, but beans, peas,
oats, grinding barley, and maize, arc easier of sale,
and generally at 61 per quarter advance: and why?
because from Monday to Thursday the temperature
has been low—so to too below freezing on the grass
at night. Moreover, forage keeps dear—hay, clover,
and straw—the latter making in the London district,
sos to 305 per load of 36 trusses. These hints of
winter possibly setting in with sevariety, give a whole-
some tone to opinions.
In cargoes of grain there is now a running fire of
sales by twos and threes daily, and prices are steady,
the choice becoming rather limited, with only about
is ships arrived of coast; 44s 9d was made on Tuesday
for No. 1 spring wheat, and for milwaukce 475. For
white Spanish and Canidian, so is the price asked.
For Danubian barley ajs 6d is the quotation.
Egyptian beans to come by steamer, are offered at
391. The Tuesday's market at Liverpool was fairly
active at 6.1 advance on wheat and is on maize from
Friday. The Ipswick market was, however, slow, as
was also Leeds, and is decline was sometirnts
allowed ; but at Newcastle, Lynn, Hull, Dublin, Sic.,
firmness in price characterised trade.
Wednesday in London saw business steadying, with
an increase of healthy confidence in the maintenance of
value, and an improvement in demand, but not to any
extent to awaken speculation.
