AN ANONYmors DONATION.
To the Editor.
Will you allow me to express, through your columns,
my grateful thanks to the anonymous donor of two
sovereigns, entrusted to me for charitable purposes, and
given as a thank-offering for God's many mercies.' I
propose to devote a part of this Christian offering to the
Dorset County Hospital, and the rest to some cases of
pressing need In my parish. Our parochial collection for
the Hospital finally amounts to £7 17s.

TliE DEIJAY—OF THE EVANGELICAL PARTY,
To Ike Editor.
It has been said that age has It. immunities, but the
Rey. Carr Glyn surely goes beyond them when, as a kind
of .&f-constituted Protestant Pope. he igall6o from
Witchatupton Rectory an encyclical of railing Accusations
against hie brethren, and feebly endeavours to fan into
fierceness the spirit of party feeling. Ile inveigha against
Ritualiatic practises and unsonad doctrine, in favour of
which, es / oloderstood them, I have not 3 word to may.
Ile also declares, in the language of our achoolleT fighting
dues, that the " Evangelicals are not etanding their
mina" And in Girder to subetantiate till-, charge he
proclaims that 'ionic (Evangelicals) are giving may as to
preaching in the surplice." Now, is it "the truth as it is
in Jesus," or "the truth as it is in party," that demands
the black vestment and bans the white It is indeed
pitiful to ace an aged and a goad man endeavour to lift up
out of the neglect into which it has fallen and to hoist 04
• party badge, a difference of usage long worn out, long
trampled under foot. Will the wearing of the black gown
make a bail sermon a good one or if Mr. Glyn, jut for
iinee, wore the surplice in the pulpit, as I suppose he ilea
in the deek, w.mbl his eennon be any the less Evangelical
or party-flavoured than, judging from his letter, it enlist
.v certainly he? Really, sir, feeling wasted upon such
a point as this makes one desiedr, not of the prospects of
party (would that one could do so), hot of the preepects
and practical power of religion itself, It is painful to
witnoss how strong adherence to party can narrow the
heart, embitter the feelings, and prompt even a father in
the Church to raise a war cry lung after it meaning —if
ever it had one—has vanished andl become entirely for-
gotten. SO a skeleton hand has before now been dug up
grasping to the last what remained of • dagger wasted
and worn by it. lung burial. Let not then any of your
readers be so foolish as to judge of their clergyman as a
true or false churchman accordingly an he wears a gown or
a surplice, they might just as well judgel by the colour
of his hair or the height of his hat; nor yet let them judge
him IT the fart of his having or not having a suniliced
choir in his church, for not even Mr. Glyn would venture
to &firm that the evil one finds • snugger nest either in
parson or singer under • surplice, than he often finds under
a black gown or a brown coat. No, air; not IT gown or
surplice, not by choir, white or black, not even b opinions
high or low, but by their works, "by their lives," by their
fruits, we are taught, we shall know them. Mr. Glyn
lainents that "there is • fearful falling off of Evangelical
men." Well, sir, there are many—myself for one--who
will not regret the entire fall of any party in the Church,
as a party. If only whatever of love of charity, of Christ's
Spint it once had pass at it. deathinto those that remain
after it has gone. Under the headship of her Great
Captain the fall of party will only, I trust and believe,
load to the greater union, strength, and beauty of the
Church herself.

THOMAS WAINWRIGHT AT SOUTHWARK POUCH-COURT.
On Saturday afternoon Thomas Wainwright, 3/ years of
age, slescrllel am an ironmonger,
_residing at the Rosameids,
Parson's-green, Fulham, VHW I laced at the Lear before Mr.
Partridge, at the Southwark police-court, charged w ith
being an aceessory after the fact in the wilful mi. iler of
Harriet Lane alias King, en or about the 11th of Setitent-
her, 1874, at 215, High-street, Whiteehapel.
Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Pollard, asistant solici-
tor to the Treasury, prosecuted; and Mr. Mllsly appeanjd
for the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Oarforth watched the ease
n behalf of the Commissioners of Police.

Mr. Poland said the primmer was charged with being
an accessory to the murder of Harriet Lane Mies King.
The way he came in ctuitody was that evidence was given
at the coroner's inquest that Ilarriet Lane ha,l gene away
with Ur. Frieake, an auctioneer, of Aldgate, awl mem
residing at Fallmm. Mrs. Wilmore bad made inquiries,
and on the last day deceased was seen alive Mrs.
received the following latter:—" Charing Cross 11.14 Wednesday. iNgar Mrs. %Vilinore: I am very muck
surprised at not receiving a reply to my last letter, in
which I gave you all the particulars of our arrangements.
She is now quite content, and has promised never to swi
or speak to King or any of her old friends again, as if she
did I have toll her we should have to part. If her pro-
mise is kept I intend to marry her in a few weeks. I
distinctly told her that I will not allow her to see any of
1 her old acquaintances, as it will only cause unpleasant-
ness. With kind relf.ard yours truly, E. Frieake. We
are just off to Dover. Mr. Frieake, auctioneer, mid 4

shown that it was written by the prisoner. It will also
he shown that the prisoner at the bar purchased the
chopper and shovel, which it is believed were used in
mutilating the body. The key of the lieu and Chickens
had been in the custody of Mr. Lewis, of the Southwark
Bridge-road, and was obtained from a boy in his service
by the prisoner. All these matters threw such suspicion
en the prisoner that It was deemed desirable that he
should he apprehended When he MLA told he would be
charged with being an accessory to the murder of Harriet
Lane, he wrote : -"Os the Rnh of September my brother
asked sue to purchase a chopper and garden alieveL I
took them to my brother, 214, New-road, and gave thew to
him. 1 efterwards went to the Surrey Gardens." The
day after that the body was removed. Mr. l'oland thee

at the Clerkenwell police-court he said, "1 suppose sone
other charge will be male against sou respecting Oct

voluntarily to give evidence against toy brother, but to
save myself I had better speak the truth." I said, "You
