'The Rev. the Lord Sydney Godolphin Osborne.

Lord Sydney Godolphin Osborne has adelreared hie
own journal, the Timis, in reply to the Lend Biebop
of Salisbury's Iritar to the Guardian. We eau
only atlroipt to give the gist of In.. wli le cola.
riot P hole I. Way of Al of KIN 4 !Milt. 5.6.11. in reply
to the Bishop of Salisbury say. :

The Csomilon may, foe all I know, be the gaitette tor
episcopal rebuke. I beer withdrawn no word of ..11,4
wrote. I bold to enty opinion I expte..ed in thy two
lakes en Ritualism.

I sought to prose that, "hermits elergymen were made
out of the on:Hairy material of human nature, and thus
0 ado at a airy early age, and with little, if any, pre.
paration for an an office which is now said to give them
miraculous power—power to hear confessions and
absolve sine by Divine right—it was neat to impossible
to believe that ordination, emmrdirg to the Established
Church, retold really aim at giving aul, powers.
I 'stinted to the fact that after all was said and done
which could be done or said at their ordination, they
remained to the world at large, to their lemtliaa and
friends, men, with an identity of dementia', eltogether
unchanged, and that, therefore, they ecold not be
aosially qualified at once by virtue of ordination to claim
that dominion ova- pools, that power to work a miracle,
which is now claimed by so many of them.
The Bishop of Sailiebuty is not, as I believe, a man
whoiwould use words for tie mere purpose of concealing
taught; he would mot choose, as some do, thtesee
capable of double interpretation, and therefore always
offering a way of eicape. tie distinctly avows that the
form of words awl at the ordination of a priest is to he
taken literally, and it therefore 'oilcan that then and
there the gift of the Holy Spirit itt conveyed by the
imposition of hands, accompanied with, power to bind
and loose—in fact, something very like the power of the
keys : that, in addition to this, the prima+ then ordained
are right and justified in believing "that they have
committed to them the same powers which the priests
of the rest of the Catholic Church, both in the Each and
Wert, have ever claimed an their inberitanee." He
considers it as ono, not the least, evil of my lettere to
you, that I may disaffect MIMI thoughtful and still
attached members of our Church who have to
rightly believed.
I cannot in silence allow ore part of my letter to
yon to be misconstrued. I consider • curate lucky in
his profession who obtains a living, just se I consider
the barrister fortunate who is made • County Court
Judge. I bold the incumbent to be lucky who is macho
• Bishop, isn't as I esteem an Attorney-General fortunate
who becomes Lord Chancellor. If a man who would
have have been a Bishop dies • Rector because Earl
Russell gore put out of office, I hold him to be a Rector
out of luck; if a Conservative Rector is made • Bishop
by Lord Derby, I ebould call hint, and I think be would
proclaim himself, very fortunate. But Ido thick it
wigs to avoid the frequent reference of ordinary events
to the direct interposition of Provideoee. In my
letter to you I never contemplated that the use of the
words "lucky in his profusion" should be applied to
any one torticular Bishop.
I will not submit in anus to be a member of •
Church whose every principle is being deathly nuder.
mined.

Begotten of an earnest misled fanaticism in some,
in this mere pride of power in others, we are soon likely
to have a sort of Intaterd form Of worship which DO
existing Church will own—of which any Church with
the slightest pretence to consistently would be ashamed.
For better would it be to (limits to Rome a thousand
or two of those who c'early lore her better than us, and
serve us with a traitorous terries, than to allow tamely
the spread of a poiton which, carefully adapted to
youthful weak tastes, snares one ehildren into a creed
which palliates the deceit that coven the belief of the
Papist under the clothing of the Plotestant
This is again followed up by a letter front Mr.
Trench (not French) of Islip, finding fault with
epithets applied to 8.0.0. in the Bishop of Salis-

Aoctiotrr.—A valuable bone belonging to kleallef.
Devenish sod Co. was killed on Wednesday hat in
High•stmet. Some beer was being delivered at a
publio-boues, and the dray was sittioned at the door.
Another horse belonging to a person named Knight,
took fright on the Chicketell road, and started at
i full speed down the street, coming in coolest with
the dray, and drove the shaft of the cart to which it
wee attached deep into the chest of the horse in
question, killing it Mulct immediately. The value
of the animal is stated to be about o+o. The animal
had previonely, while dashing along Iherned, k necked
down ton, ladies, and irjuicd both of them very
severely. Ti. owner of the horse which occasioned
the niiechinf hab informed us that when at "Marquis,"
oo the road to Chicleerell, hint's', and • young man
were about to Re t up in the cart, when the beetly of
Lb. vehicle tipped up (the bolt which faatentd it to
the lower part having probably slipped), and both
were thrown into the nod. The horse, being
frightened, started furiously in the direction of

. tinned item beadiong caleer, until stopped by the
collision with Mr. Deveniales dray.

)1••0:. le SOLT IfSITIZA. —At All Bourg Lodge,
Weymouth, in Friday evening, one of the molt
touching of till Masonic rites was performed, when
a funeral lodge um held in commemoration of the
blameless life and early death of their lamented
brother William J. Hill, solicitor, whose premature
decease in the flower of his life and promise, has
been the subject of repeated allusion in our columns.
The lodge, which was thickly and completely draped
as well aa carpeted in black, presented to about
, thirty of the masonic brethren who attended to cell'-
. braes. these solemn obsequies, a some of the most
solemn cbaractei ; for the gas light, of the interior
were one and all dimioished to a speck, which simply
rendered the darkness visible. The ceremony pro.
oeeded in bushed and breathless awe as the catafalque
'apposed of the funeral paraphernalia of the lodge,
and bearing the record of the demise, was borne to
its plums in the centre of the hall, and overspread
with the funeral pall, on which was placed one
solitary rush-light only. Various cords of the most
talcum music were sounded on the organ of the
lodge by brother J. Maunders, who presided at the
instrument, and the Dead March in Saul was very
effectively given during the processional part of the
ceremonies. Bro. J. Jaoobe then commenced the
funeral oration, of which we hope to be favoured by
him with an outline, assured as we have been that
no
fune-al sermon that was ever preached could
possibly have been more effective than that which
at the feet of Brother W. J. Hill's catafalque, oar
venerated brother so movingly pronounced.
Dories • pause in the oration, which was erroneously
supposed to be climbed, the choir, led by Brothels
Patch, Harper, and others, raised the solemn strains I
of the funeral hymn, "Vital mark, h 0.," accom-
panied by Brother Maunder; on the organ; and
consequently after the oration had been resumed
and clociaded by Brother Jacobs, • few verses of
another hymn were also song as a finale. These
simple and impressive ceremonies were concluded in
good time to enable snob brethren as had attended
on this solemn occasion from Dorchester to return
by the train. Such then were the last sad rites and
ceremonies paid by the Masonic body of Weymouth,
as a last sad tribute to the memory of their young
deputed brother, and sea bumble acknowledgment
of submission to the will of the Great Architect of
the naivetes.

Tag BANKRUPTCY CM mu Rev. H. °LARSON.—
The adjourned application for discharge re (Raison was
the only case of interest at our County Court, last
Thursday. His Honour asked Mr. Weston, who
appeared for the bankrupt, whether he was prepared to
make any offer to the creditont—Mr. Weston said he
should be hippy to do so if he could, but his sliest felt
that with his large family and heavy expenses he was
not in a position to do so. Hie Honour remarked that
the Court shove had decreed that when the debts were
upwards of £I,OOO, that E5O • year should be set aside.
The order, however, which he would make, would boa
, moderate one, but the Admiralty would have to be con-
' suited, as without their consent, nothing could be done.
—Mr. Weston did not believe the Admiralty were in
the habit of being more hberal then they could help.
When the order in the former bankruptcy was made. it
was made on condition that Mr. Maumee ...Lary should
be increased. It wsia only for £4O • year at find, but
after his income was Menaced it came to 1250.—His
Honour asked if any creditor* were precept to take the
responsibility. -Mr. Howard said he represented the
creditors, and that tradesmen were of opinion that as
£5O a-year had been pet aside for the debts of £l,OOO,
that another £6O should also be done so in this ease.—
His Honour thought this would be rather hard on bank-
rupt, as he had lees income now to do it with. —Mr.
Howard said the tradesmen then would be willing to
take £25 a-year. - His Honour said he considered that •
most reasonable offer, it would only be 10s. in the E at
the expiration of six years. —lf the creditors lot as much
as 10s. in the E that would not be emir, because those
in the former bankruptcy would not gel half that.—Kr.
Weston said that Mr. Gleason had redooad his expenses
to the lowest pomade rate. But he had to keep up his
mem on board Us ship which ran away with £5O a-year,
and his salary being £250, that left him £2llO. From
that amount, £5O a-year had to be let aside for the
benefit of creditors in the former bankruptcy, leaving
only £l5O to maintain his wife and mix children, beside
expenses for house-rent and servant —Kr Howard said
the views of the creditors were that Kr. Masson had
brought this hardship upon him, by hi, own imprudence.
If the prinoirle laid down by Mr. Weston was allowed, •
man could run most recklessly into debt, and then coots
to this Court and say be waisted all Ms income to live
upon, and that he must be discharged from his debts.
This would be holding out an inducement for bankrupt
to go to some other place and act in the same manner
as he had done here.—His Honour said that sines last
court-day he had considered the case a great deal. In
a trader'. bankruptcy, the trader came forth with his
order of discharge, leaving the whole of his assets to be
divided amongst his creditors without • steppes for
himself. Bat thil gentleman (bankrupt) wanted to be
discharged from his debta without giving up anything
from his estate for the benefit of his creditors. He (the
judge) could not do that. It would be contrary to equity.
He was, however, perfectly willing to teke into account
his unfortunate position, inasmuch as he had to live as •
franUeman upon a small pittance, but he had brought
it upon himself for he was responsible for his wife. He
°Dahl not therefore allow him to go forth discharged
from his debts without doing his creditors an injustlee.
He thought the demand M. to be set aside fair, and
ordered that bankrupt be discharged subject to this eon•
ditisn- that he put &eider £25 • year out of his salary,
payable quarterly, to the Registrar of this Court, until
the Court ordered to the contrary, but the order would
be subject to the sanction of the Admiralty.
