RETURN Or ENULISIi ESIORASTII FROM ASIMIC.L.—
On Wednesday morning • party of returned English
emigrants, twenty-seven in number, passengers by the
Gnat Eastern, arrived at the Bustoo Station of the
London and North-Western Railway, from New York,
via Liverpool. They belonged chiefly to the agricultural
districts of Norfolk and Suffolk, and emigrated to the
United States early in the year. They Mated that
numbers of their fellow-countrymen are about to
return home on account of the difficulty in obtaining
employment and the high price of the neeeetaries of
life consequent on the stagnation in trade, the war
with the moiling states of the Union entirely ingrowing
the public mind.

A Mau KILLILD IN A erotic —On Wednesday morn-
ing a heavy thunderstorm passed over the metropolis,
and it most have done considerable damage. In the
neighbourhood of Holloway the storm raged with par-
ticular viOItDOS for a short time. About bait pest 11
two men who were working on the main drainage which
is being carried through the neighbourhood, were struck
by lightning in the Tufnell-park-road, Ons of them
is *carpenter, whose name was not known, was killed.

He was taken to the nearest hospital.

CONVOCATION OF TAR CLZROY. EZVIIMB AND
&NAT/I.—II is generally understood that the convoca-
tion of the prelates and clergy of the Provinces of Can-
terbury, which stands adjourned until Tuesday, the 18 h
met., will not at that time meet for the despatch of
busineas, and that no further meetiug of that body will ,
take place during the present year. There are two or
three circumstances on the ground of which it will pro-
bably be found convenient that this course should be
adopted. It will be remembered that at the last meet-
ing of convocation the Archbishop sad Bishops coup
poring that Upper House, directed the Lower NORM to
form • committee on the subject of " Komys and
Reviews," with a view to • report to convocation gene-
rally on the nature of that volume, in order, if necenery
that synodal action may be taken upon it. That com-
mittee, coexisting of Archdeacon Denison and other
gentlemen, have been actively engaged since their
appoiutment in a critical examination of the volume,
but their report is not yet ready for presentation. As
there are no other subjects at present pressing upon the
consideration of convocation, there is no absolute reason
why an immediate meeting is necessary. Another
reason for postponement aches out of the legal proceed-
ings which the Bishop of Salisbury has commenced
against the Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams, vicar of
Broad Chalke, on account of his Essay entitled "Bun-
sen's Biblical Researches," and in which, of course, no
progress can be made previous to the proposed day ofmeet •
tug eapecially as the matte: is to be thoroughly fought out
on both sides. Another reason for further prorogation
is to be toned in the continued indisposition of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, for although his grace has,
to a very great extent, recovered from the attack of
paralysis under which he lately suffered, he is still too
feeble to engage in any active official duty.
THZ EAU'. ON ELGIN •ND THZ GNOCCHI' COMPANY.
—On Wedneadayevening the Kiri of Elgin WM 1411111itted
"a brother Grocer," and entertained atS magnificent
banytie tin the hall of the Gemara," Company. The
noble lord, in the course of a speech in reply to a toad,
mentioned air showing what would have he-en the feeling
if the was with China bad been protracted, that at • most
critical moment of his proceedings he received a letter
written by • friend, • most eminent statesman, who
stated that the war was most unpopular in thtscountry
"that there had been a disensaion on it in • place for
which I have • most profound respect, though I dare
not mention it, and that in that place not one single
individual said a word in favour of the war, though
many Raid a great deal against it. (Laughter, and
"Hear.") That was • most agreeable communication for
• public servant to receive in reference to an affair with
which he had to deal. at a distance of 10.000 miles from
his own country, (Laughter.) The letter weut on to
say that the universad opinion was that what .11
wanted in this country was, not political relations, which
led to nor, but trade, which did not. I confess for
myself that I entirely adopt that sentiment ; but after
my experience in China I must be permit& to doubt
that you can have trade with that coutitry without
thin, the authorities might at any momeent refuse to
political relations, (Hear, hear.) You may have trade
with a civilised country without political rela-
tions but in Chins, if there was no convex'

that virtually woule amount to • prohibition. (Hear.
hear.) Some years ago a merchant *easel was anchored in
Csnton, and an anuiveraary —the King's birthday,
ierhaps—occurring, the mec fired a ciliate. A woman
was killed by • wadding from one of the guns, and the
mandarin at that port said,' We will have no more trade
with you till the inan who fired the allot which mimed
the Vfollllled death is given up. If I am correctly
informed. the man was given up, I should like to
, know what muter of an English ship would in the pre-
sent day give 111, a man for having discharged his ditty,
' to be diseinbowelled or consigned to perhaps • still more
cruel fate. Hear. hear.) I repeat that I agree with
those who think that it is not political relations, but
trade that we want with China t but we adopt political
relations as indispensable to trade. (Hear, hear.) We
limy congratulate ourselves in having secured these ; and
lam happy to say tht all the news which I have
received from China sines my return horns induces me
to lichees that our relations are established on such •
footing as that they are not likely to be disturbed in
future." (Cheers.)
TRZABURICS OF NATCRIL—It has been well re•
marked, that there is not an i•operfection that flesh is
heir to, for which a remedy is not at head, to,huacover
we have only to search the vast laboratory of Nature.
A more apt illustration csn scarcely be offered, than
in the application of a natural production, of American
growth, namely, the Balsa of tofamaitmim. in eases where
the human head ims been deprived of its becoming an I

streligthener and restorer of the Hair. C, de A.

its freeing the hair from scurf, producing a beautiful
Curl preserving it front premature greyness, and its

biro AAA N T MILTING .011 Quince Balta.—On Tues.
day a special meeting of the members of the Chunk

Mr. (Ashen moved the lint resolution. namely, " That
it would be desirable to have the question of church.
rates settled on the basis of leaving out, as objects; of
the rate, such expenses as are connected with the per-
formance of Divine worship, the repair of the fabric of
the church and churchyard being 144 t is the objects of
the rate, and of obtaining in return 'nore effectual
powers for making and recovering the rate."—Nr.
Jones, harriater•at-law, seconded the motion—Mr.
Bcresford Hoi e moved the following amendment :
"flit whatever settlement of the church-rate ques-
tion be adopted, it siould be one which should not
establish any distinction between the fabric rate and
the worship rate."—Lord Ingestre, M.P.' seconded the
arnandinent.—Alter some discuadou the Chairman took
the sense of the meeting, the result being that Mt.
Clabon's nsoluton was rejected, and Hr. &milord
Hope's amendment earned.—Lord- R. Montagu, H.P.
then moved that the executive committee should semi
the resolutions wbich had been proposed, and an ab-
stract of other measures which had been suggested, to
the rural deans throughout England, so that the feeling
of the clergy might be obtained upon them, and also
what was their feeling on the propriety of concession,
the bean on which it should rest. Seconded by Yr.

A RVNAWAT MATCII.—ELLId V. ELLIS..-11111.1 WM lb
suit instituted by the wife for • dissolution of marriage,
on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adultery, and
there was no appearance on the part of the respondent.—
From the evidence it appeared that the petitionor eloped
from her father, at Wiluborne, in Donetshirs, on the
25th of December, 1851, and M. married to the respon-
dent on the following day. After the marriage they went
to reside at Ringwood, in Hampshire, where the rearn-
dent was in business as • wine merchant. They lived
togetherfor 6 Vf. years, during which period the petitioner
gave birth to fourth children, which are living. In the
, spring of 1845 the respondent began to treat the peel-
! tionur with handiness and cruelty. Once when she was
' ins gig with him lie whipped the hone violentlyto make
her think that it was running away. Once he fired a
revolver close to her ear ; mid he WU guilty of various
acts of violence, which, on one OCCIAIOII. produced • mis-
carriage, and on another, premature labour. His con-
duct became so violent that she was compelled to take
refuge at her father's and afterwards applied for and
received parochial assistance, but they afterwards
resumed cohabitation, but the respondent repeated his
niisamdact, and one day be struck her with an iron and
cut hsr head. He was also In the habit of th
her life and taking • penkife with him. Evidence
adultery was also given of respondent with • female
servant in the Louse were they were living.—Sir
C. Creswell said he must take time to consider the evi-
deuce. If lie could think that the husband bad fired
the pistol with the intention of making his mile
izisairry, he should treat it as an act of the grommet
cruelty, but it was more likely to have been • ISOM
act of arrant folly.
