ELoPINZIPT fit WARWICIIIBIIL Considerable
excitement was caused in Leamington &moiled fashion-
able circles, on its becoming known that the only
daughter of one of the most respected clergymen in the

alto taco officer In her Majesty's service. The young
lady, who has not yet attained her majority, is
of very large fortune in her own right, and

Iter home early on Tuesday 010111i0g, and hu been
traded to a neighbouring town, to which she and her
companion proceeded from Leamington in a fly.
There it Is believed they separated, and the

DOlll AND Drieu.—One Duke of Beaufort was a man'
Of the most elegant manners. We were to dine with
King George the Fourth, one day, at Brighton, and his
grace was to be of the party. But be did not ionise, and I
our fat friend liked to he punctual at table. We all
went to dinner, and the King said, "Punch my boy, of
coarse, we shall he lorry if anything unpleasant has I
de.ained Beaufort ; but if he has been made late by a
trifle. I shall heeled of it, for it will do these young I
fellows good to see bow a perfect gentleman excuses
himself." "Right you are, George," said we, and soon
afterwards the Duke cam. in, and his apology was grace

for having no other grave. This Duke must not be eon.
founded with another, who wrote to a clergyman that
he was "impertinent" for daring to ask aid for his pariah
school, when he did not vote forth. Duke's candidate;
nor was it the lame Duke who declared that what the
Conservative., had got to do was to "get Mr. Gladdens
between their fingers and thumbs." Perhaps, however,
there was no need to warn people against mistaking the
gentle for the ungentle Duke.—Piteel.
SODA WATER—MUT Is IT? -The numerous notes
that have recently appeared in the various newspapers '
bane opened our eyes to what we are in the habit of I
drinking. At the Conference lately held by the Phar-
maceutiml Kiddy it was there suggested that soda
water is better " without soda.' In our opinion, that
being the OW, it should not be called soda water at all.
By reedit inquiriee into the matter, we find that the
soda water manalartuned by Pitt and Co., of Wharf'
road, City-road, London. the oldest in the trade, and
holden of the first potent for bottling soda wet.r,
contains, from teelve to fourteen grains of so la. Their
seeress and well-known brend all over the world is
. . . . .

, sufficient proof that soda water with soda is better than
without, and no doubt the " soapy" taste mentioned at
the Conference is through defeetive machinery, so often

THE Ray. DIL Tgtgpr.i AND TOE lima CHURCH.—
The Rev. Dr. Temple. Head Master of Rugby School,
writes to The Rack in reference to some remarks it hi
made on • speech lately delivered by bun at an election
meeting in Warwickshire. He says .—"I shall still
think that the existence sd the Irish Fstablished Church
Is a gross injust:ce to the Irish. And yet, paradoxical
as It may seem, I think that the Legislsture did right
at the time of the union. Legislatures, like men, are
Imperfect. And very often the fattest rule of judgment
Is to ask which way is the facie set? Is it toward. GoA's
will, or from it? They did what on the whole was the
right thing then. We must step in and ilo what is the
right thing now. In conclusion, I should like to say
that Pam • thorough Protestant I dnik on Popery as

• mo.t miesheviou-s delusion. I icor n,d, perheps.
think that Protestant* are al Nays wise in their tri, de of
attack, bet no cne goes beyond me in hearty desire for
the advancement of the caum of troe Protestantism.
Bat I am sure that if there is one thing which beyond
all others will advance that Church in Ireland, it Is to
dis.stsbli*h the Irish Church. The Irish Church

estabbsbed bas mule no impreselon on Popery for 300
years. Dieestablish it, and I shall be much eurprised if
in thirty years the Roman CACl*lie priests will not wish
that it had been left alone."

Mr. GLADSTONE has issued the following address to
his new constituents :—"To the Elector, of the borough
of Groenwish. Gentlemen,—lt haa up to this day been
my duty to withhold any expression of my gratitude
for your generous, unaskol, and I believe unparalleled
kindness, which at this important juncture ben given
me a most honourable seat in Parliemeut. Yesterday
about rue o'clock I became aware that I should pro-
bably be able to accept the trust you have tendered to
me ; and I now lose no time in accepting it with my
cordial and respectful thanks. It was not, gentlemen,
any mere professions or promises of mine which won
from you this signal favour: and it is tint by professions
or pron.ises, hot by my conduct in Parliament, that I
humbly hope to show it has not been unworthily
bestowed. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen,
your most obliged and faithful servant. W. E. Glad-
Mone, Liverpool, Nov. 25, 1848." Mr. Gladstone
also issued the following aideees to the electors
of South-West Lancashire :—"Gentlemen,—l return
my most cordial thanks to the 7,415 electors who sup-
ported me at the poll, sad to the numerous and zealous
friends who have no ably acted on my behalf. lii, to
me • matter of lively satisfaction, which I can never
lose, that I received • large majority of votes within
the distriet of Liverpool.—l have the honour to be.
W. IL Gladstone."
