and the money for wbieh she-- bailed, in the absence
of sureties, was then ordered by the judge lobe returned

were exceedingly painful. The wretched woman had

who testified to the death, was the eldest, without the

self as one of the 200,000, and if all the
others included were right, an exact man of
figures like himself ought to have stated the
numbers at 199,099. If wrong then in re-
gard to that unit, in his whole computation,
about which he ought to know best—what
faith, we should like to know, are we to place
in the remainder of his figures ? We are
sadly afraid that the Scotch exaggerations of
John Bright's numbers are not only upon a
par it ith those of Manchester, Birmingham,
and Leeds, but absolutely outdo them in
mendacity.

IL—WE OMITTED—we had not forgotten
—to mention a scene at the York Church
Congress, in which Mr. Stephens was
.cried
down on attempting to speak, because, la his
use of forensic language at Exeter, he had
ventured to designate the wine and water
used in the Holy Communion as " negus" if
not "grog." We only refer to the matter
now, or in fact at all, because it would seem
as if some fit of repugnance to the Church
I had come over the Time: newspaper, since,
following up a sustained attack on Friday,
in its leading columns on Saturday it ab-
solutely essays to defend Mr. Stephens, the
author of such expressions! while admitting
all the time that his "illustration," as it is
termed, was "in singularly bad taste, and waa
quite beside the mark, and was wholly un-
necessary." This admission in our estimation
applies equally to the Times' article itself.
For what happened to Mr. Stephens at the
York Congress ? He was not put down or
conde nned unheard; for the Archbishop
interposed and ruled that he should be per-
mitted to go on. But undoubtedly every
Churchman who had any respect for himself
or for the feelings of his fellow communicants,
left the room at once, and Mr. Stephens was
allowed to harangue to empty benches.

lII.—A REMARKABLE EXPRESSION re-
garding Dissent (as a means of supplying
"the religious yearnings" of the multitude) I
employed by the Archbishop uf York at the
recent Church Congress, caused us to glance
with unusual interest through the pages of
an address on " Congregationalism in relation
to the Spirit and Wants of the Age," just
issued by their distinguished pulpit orator
and tractarian, Mr. Newman Hall, LL.B.
This is, in fact, his inaugural address as
Chairman at the annual assembly of the
Congregational Union of England and
Wales; and it is not a little curious to find
that whilst the Times, in its Friday's tirade
against, the Romanising tendency of the
English vestments, is charging our Church
with the reproach "tendinius in Latium," the
English Congregationalists upon their part
are, with what we must call singularly
imitative propensities, and at a long distance,
doing their best to identify themselves with
what they suppose to be the more spiritual,
or, as they term them, Evangelical character-
istics of the Church of England expressly
and by name. That in all the Dissent which
has ever reared itself within this realm of
England there lurks a latent attachment to
the Anglican Church is, perhaps, one of the
most hopeful peculiarities of our Island
Christianity; and this it is which has given
some enthusiasts, including the worthy in-
cumbent of Bincombe, near 'Weymouth, by
whom a pamphlet on union with Dissenters
was recently put forth, certain hopes of the
coming milennium, when, according to Dr.
Cununing, of London, the earth will cease to
produce weeds, and Methodism, at all events,
will rejoin the fold to which John Wesley
himself belonged and adhered to the last.
What are the aspirations and views of Con-
gregationalists on the other hand we prefer
stating in Mr. Newman Hall's own language,
since it would never be believed, were we
simply on our own ißse disit to assert it, that
they claim to be Christians—not only Apos-
tolic, but Catholic and Holy.

"If asked what we are—l would first employ the
grandest deaignation language knows, and say that we
are Christiana. Jeans we trust in as our only Saviour,
and obey amour Divine Lord. All that is eaclesiartically
distinctive; every term by which we may be designated
is subordinate to this—we name the name of Cilium..

" lithe question be repeated, I reply—that by sue'
cession from the inspimd founders of Christianity, its
by poiressim of the doctrines they preached, and of the
Scriptures they wrote; by the regenerating and sankti-
lying lonesome of the same Holy Ghost by whom their
ministry was made effectual; moreover, by endeavour-
ing to construct our churches on the model of those
which they founded—we claim to be dpostolical.
"Again, in reply, I say we are Catholic—we are not •
sect—a part out off—but members incorporate with the
universal body of the Lord's faithful people, the Church,
No subordinate differences shall separate us from those
who bold, ' One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism; 000 God
and Father of &IL' U others refuse fenowship with us
the schism shall ha theirs, not ours—for we should
suspect our distinctive opinions if those opinions chilled
the sentiment or discouraged its avowd.—' Grace be
with all them that love our bred Jesus Christ in ain-
eerily.'
"If once more asked the question, I should say that
we aim to be, we trust in some humble measure we are
Holy; assured that apostolic doctrine would only estrum
for es greater condemnation, and that our ecclesiastical
polity would be • wretched delusion in the absence of
• godly, righteous, and sober life.'
"Is replying yet again, I would eombine theee desig-
nations, and say that we are Integral parts of One Holy
Catholic cad Apostolic CliarcA.
- - - - -

What extraordinary language is this! and
on what principle does it chance to nroceed
from a body of Dissenters until of recent
years so small, so insignificant, and so
thoroughly disintegrated that their status in
the religious world was then, if not still,
totally undefined! Is it possible that Con-
gregationalists can turn round in sober
seriousness and tell us we are the Schismatics
if we refuse fellowship with them! They
little know the constitution of the Church of
England who believe it possible for her to
eject from her bosom orthodox Christians;
and it is a manifest absurdity for separatists
to retaliate the charge of schism upon
churchmen. It is true that after the above
exordium which might have been penned by
any of our own Catholic Apostolic Divines,
Mr. Newman Hall proceeds to explain that
they are Evangelical Protestants, Congrega-
tional Independents, that they love liberty—
but "wherever else there may be sedition,
privy-conspiracy, and rebellion,' no one
dreams of finding them among the churches
of our order. From no class of the com-
munity does the shout go up to heaven more
sincerely, solemnly, joyfully—' God save the
Queen.'" Are we awake? Is all this the
declaration of an Orange Lodge or of a
Congregational Union? Really we never
knew they were such loyal and excellent
men. But it seems (p. 13) there is just one
little peculiarity they have got hold of, and
it is "to relieve the political government,
already overburdened with its proper func-
tions, from the oversight of religion."
Separate Church and State, eh? Yes we
understand, only a trifling fancy of theirs,
and not the less troublesome that in their
red hot seal they have in the third place
(p. 16) become imbued with the conviction
that their churches are specially fitted for the
evangelisation and social elevation of the
great masses of our countrymen. "Farewell
the big wars—Othello's occupation's gone."
No more Propagation meetings, no more
Church Missionary, high and low church
platforms alike fall down—if not for foreign,
for home missions, at least, since the ambitious
Congregationalists conceive themselves best
fitted to evangelise and civilise the masses of
the people!

of opinion u to whether this latter desideratum has
been obtained—at least in the case of one river but to

Hamby° has received an intimation from the special
ummissioners appointed by Parlament, to protect the

that they will shortly hold a court in this district to

nets, or any fishery rights upoo the different riven%
In otter cases they have ordered the removal of all
illegal obstructions of the character specified, and, seeing
I that recent legislation has already done much testicle

the town be begged to thank the jury for the
efficient servioes they had rendered, and he dada
have great pleasure, as he bad on • previous cocasioss,
in laying their precept before the Council, mod he
had no doubt that they would be found ready and
willing to act upon the suggestions thrown out. He
remembered that laid year the precept made directed
attention to a nuisance caused by a recess in North-
square ; the Council had taken steps at some expense
to remedy that evil and the matter now rested more
with the Surveyor than with them, the work having
been ordered to be carried out. He regarded the
recommendations of the jury with reference to
the shirting as very important ; be did not
think a single li-use in Friary-lane was pro-
•ided with that necessary appendage. and be
should have great pleasure in supporting the
reoommendations of the jury. The meeting subse-
quently adjourned to the Royal Oak Inn, where •
very excellent cold collation was provided. Mr.
James Drake presided, supported by the Mayor,
Alderman Oalpin, and Councillors H. Lock,
Gregory, Steele, Drake, and Sennett. Mr. J.
Andrews occupied the vice-chair, and among those
present were Messrs. Robinson, Ramsey, Morgan,
G. Pouncy, 0. Greening, J. Ling, Durden, J.
H.
Taylor, G. Crocker, Barrett, her. Ample jugglers
hawing been done to the ezoelleat spread, the
Chairman prodused the usual loyal and patriotic
toasts, which were received with loyalty and
enthusiasm. Sergeant Gregory responded on behalf
of "The Volunteers," remarking that he had always
regarded the volunteer movement as a most weekl
institution, and as its working became more apparent
and the more he saw of it, the more he felt asenrred
of its value and utility. He was glad to see so many
volunteers present on that occasion, and he trusted
that they might be always ready and never wanted.
" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," "Th.
, County and Borough Members" were next given
lin 1111000•WOU from the chair, followed by " The
Mayor, Aldermen, awl Town Council of Dor-
chester." The Mayor on riming to respond to the
latter, was enthusiastically received. On behalf of
himself and his colleagues he thanked them
for the mark of appreciation and respect
which they had manifested toward them.
lie could not but call to mind the very greet
pleasure with which be looked hack upon the many
happy convivial meetings which they had had in
years part in connection with that annual gathering.
There was no doubt that the Court Lest was a very
ancient institution, and to • great extent its
privileges and duties had become obsolete, but he
looked upon its still being kept up as a matter of
some importance and it must be still regarded as of
some value. It served by the presentmout of its
annual precepts to remind the Local Board of Health,
(by which it might DOW be raid to be superseded) of
many little things that they might overlook. The
precept which had been placed in his hands that day
would be laid before the Board, and he had no doubt
that they would exercise their judgment upon it and
attend to the removal of the nuisances pointed out.
He expressed • partiality to the social re-unions of
the Court Lest They gave an opportunity for the
respectable tradesmen of the borough to meet to-
gether in unity and goid (*Bowel:rip, and he hoped
that they might long be continued. The Mayor
next proposed "the health of the Chairman" peering
• warm enlogium upon him as an old tradesman of the
town, and as a man of integrity and business habits.
The Chairman briefly acknowledged the compliment,
and gave "The Justices of the borough." Alderman
Galpin responded. He felt that the magistrates had
at all times an onerous and important duty to perform,
but it had always been his maxim that "Justice
should be tempered with mercy." Many of the cares
that were brought before them arose out of circum-
stances that occurred when parties in the height of
the moment were led to the commission of acts
which had they have been exactly responsible at
thetime would not have oocurred,and it was neosseary
that such cases should be dealt with with • degree of
leniency ; but notwithstanding the onerous nature of
their work he hoped the time would never come
when they, either individually, or as a body, would
be found to shrink from the right discharge of
their rhitiee. "The Health of the Vice-chairman "
was given by the Mayor, which having been acknow-
ledged, "The Health of Mr. Conoaillor Slade,"—who
bad for many years officiated as chairman of
the Court Lest, until his election as a member of
the Council,—followed. This was succeeded by that
of "The Town Clerk,"and "The Officials of the Court
Lest" ;the latter wee coupled with the names of
Messrs. G. Penney, R. Case, and J. R. Taylor. H.
Lock, Esq., in acknowledging the toast of "The
Coroner for the District, "took occasion to refer to
his experiences as • member of the Town Council.
He regretted that there was an apparent want of
interest felt by gentlemen who had the leisure and
the opportunity to enter that body, which prevented
them from coming forward and offering their services.
He looked upon the honour as one of which any
person ought justly to be proud. He hnped that the
time was very far distant when the Town Council of
that town would cease to be • body regarded with
respect by the burgesses whose duty it was to elect
them. He traded that their deliberations would be
conducted with that judgment that would receive for
them, as • body, the good opinion of all. Every on.
acknowledged the value of the municipal inatitutioos
of this country, and he maintained that it WY the
duty of gentlemen to oome forward and fill up
vacancies as they occurred, whose abilities fitted
them for the honour, and which would enable them
to discharge the duties with credit to themselves and
honour to the constituency. A number of com-
plimentary toasts followed, including the "Town
and Trade of Dorchester," coupled with the names
of Messrs. Steele and Ramsey; the "Press," re-
sponded to by our representative; the "Host and
/laded" ko. The intervals between the toasts
were enlivened by • number of excellent mopes and
sentiments, the effort' of the inimitable "J. R. I'.'
to amuse by his serio-oomic songs and shrewd
joonlarisms, keeping the company from first to
last in • happy state of hilarity.

they were bound to put • nominal fine, although it was
through • misoppreheneion he neglected to get alio:cense.
They werr obliged to levy • penalty, which would be

trespassing in search of game on land belonging to Mr.
A. J. Pope, of Toiler. lie did not appear, and P.C.
Gale proved the service of the summons.—Mr. Howarcl
appeared and said since the summons bad been issued
defendant had, to use • common expression, " bolted."
and after hearing the evidence would ask the Bench
to issue a warrant for his apprehension. The evidence
was tau the effect that defendant, who was formerly in
the employ of Mr. Seriven, who has the right of shoot-
ing over this land, was &charged that morning, and
about 4 o'clock the same afternoon, as Enos Beavia, the
keeper, was going round the farm he beard guns firing.
and went in the direetitn of Lodmoor. He saw Brett
shoot, go and pick up • rabbit, and re-load. He went
up to him, and asked him if he knew he wee doing
wrong, to which he replied in the affirmative, but hoped
be would say nothing about it. Witness told him he
should acquaint hin master with the occurrence. De-
fendant then took up some rabbit wires and nets he had
with him and went away.—He was fined in the full
penalty 40s, and oasts —or one month's im-
prisonment- Henry Groves was summoned,
for having in his possession an unjust pair of scales.—
Supt. Underwood found the scales in defendant's mill
at ritepleton, on the 9th October, halloo ounce against
the pureharcr. Defendant kept • piece of iron to make
ci the weight, but said on this particular day it slipped
off.—The Bench were willing to think it was • mere
accident him to bear a good character; but they were
obliged to levy a 'minimal penalty of Se., cods remitted.
—George Fox, of Frampton, was summoned by Supt.
Underwood for having in his possession a pair of flour
auto one oz. against the purchaser, October 5. Fox's
wife told the superintendent they hod been weighing
salt in the wooden scoop, and this caused the dif•
ference.—Fined 10e., including oosta.—Mr. Thomas
Coombe and the Rev. F.. Headland were summoned
by Mr. John E. Hopkins for non-repair of • highway
at Broadway.— Mr. R. N. Howard. of Weymouth.
supported the cams, and Mr. G. J. Andrews appeared for
the Board of Guordi•os.—Col. Steward declined to set
as this item, as be had property in Broadway. and Mr.
Andrews respectfully suggested that, as Mr. Seuoders
had property so near, he would not act, and, in con-
oe'leenco of this, Mr. flsonders left his teat with Col.
Steward, and Major Acted' and R. Thompson E.g., die'
paned of the summons. It appeared that this is a part
of a road !coding from Mr. Luckhence Mill to Broadwey
bridge, which bad been damaged by the overflowing of
the river is rainy weather, and while the road as far as
Mr. Luckbam's mill was kept in good repair the part
between Mr. Luckb•dfie and the bridge, was,
according to Mr. llopkin's evidence, " seseceD
passible'rutty,' with stones to the reed as big as his
bead, and anything bet in repair." Soros time se
there was • bridge erected at Upwey, partly by sub
acription and putty by the assistance of Mr.
Tisard, and since that time there had been more traffic
on this highway. Mr. Luckbasn, • former waywarden
of Broadway, bad been eummoned to repair the whole
of the road, and also threatened by Mr. Phillipps that
if he did not repair the road be would make him put •
bridge there. A conversation took place between the
magistrates and the solicitors respecting the liability of
the Board to keep the road in repair, Mr. Andrews
admitted that the Board was obliged to repair any
damage caused at flooddime. It also seems that
the road is over fl,weil in two places by the river,
which mooed much damage to the road, and Mr.
lloward thought that every time the water overflowed
and damaged the road the Board was liable to pot it
in repair the next day.—Mr. Coombe said the question
now was the degree of repair necessary, and thought
the shortest way would be to get two justices to view'
l sod after their decision to get a case and go to a higher '
court. Ultimately they appointed Major Astell to
view the road in question, with an understanding to
carry it afterwards to the court above, and Mr.
Hopkins and the Rev. E. Headland con'
tented to accompany Major Astell, and the
case was adjourned for a fortnight, when the
report of the magistrate will be presented.—Henry

door, defendant kicked him in the side, knocked him
about, used very foul language towards him threatned his
life, and mid if it was not for the law be would kill the
now. Defendant then gone his version of the sae.
with no small amount of volubility, which, however, did
not benefit him, for ho was bound over on Ilia own rocker-
nisancoa, in the sum of £2O to keep the peace for six
months, and was told that if he struck the complainant
again, even if it were attended with provocation, he
would be punished.—George Clark, summoned be
