expectation of seeing some result of the judgment of the
Judicial Committee of Privy Council, so strongly con-
demnatory of the proceedings of the Rev. A. H.
Mackonochie. Disregarding the judgment altogether,
Mr. Mackonoehle had the candle, lighted at the tumid
time, and knelt before the altar both at the end of the
prayer for the consecration of the bread, and of that for
the wine. It wsa said, although not publicly, that Mr.
Maakonochie had not received any official notice of the
judgment of the Privy Council, arid therefore coosidered
himself at liberty to adopt the practice to which he has
been samatemed._

HOLLOWAT'S Otanthve AND PILLS are the most
reliable remedies for the blotches, pimples, boils, and
carbuncles which, often appearing at the change of
semon, are ever annoying, sometimes dangerous, and
always disfiguring. The subtle permeating powers of
this ointment, by repressing both inflammation and
Irritation, reduce the skin to its nateral temperature
and colour whilst redically expelling the cause of the
blemishes from the system. The pills assist the cooling
and purifying influence of the oarsmen by expelling all
that is gross from the bowels, and by thoroughly
rectifying digestion. Under this treatment every organ
throughout the body is compelled to dislodge both
Irregularities and impurities, whereby the skin beoomes
soft and silky, the spirits gay, and the health robust.

TR. WORI TO Lo.—From the common testimony
of the @pimplier delivered by the liieisters re-elected on
Monde/ it ii to be gathered that, with the two tines-
.ions of the Irish church endowments and the Excess of
Public Expenditure the Government Resit proposes to
deal, and that it will rest mainly upon Ps conduct of
them it. claims to continued existence. Now, speaking
popularly, the ensued chaise for the Irish church is
£710,000. lam aware that the Commissioner' have
told Os that its set revenue is about 081,001; and so
it is shown to be by the appendioes to the Report; but
anybody who will take,.. I have taken, the trouble to
fish out the figure. from them very ill..ligested return.,
will find that the gross revenue of the church, or, in
other words, the actual charge levied up ,o the lash
people, is rather over the f. 710,000 at which I place it.
That, therefore, is the am.unt of tax xtion with which
Mr. Gladstone haa to deal in this instance, and the
whole of which, it is asserted, represents a holden upon
those who pay it iniquitous, odious, and unnecessary to
the last degree. Ou the other hand, the extra g moral
expenditure for serve).* of another kind, to which
exception is equally taken, amounts, "speaking in round
numbers," to 1:3,000,003, the burden of which is
declared to b• equally unnecessary; and it may be
said, to ram up the whole teak to which the Ministry is
pledged, that it has to address Itself to nothing less
than the removal of permanent taxation to the extent
of at least three Millions and a half, end to leave the
institutions of the country as well established as it has
is found them. The task is eertalnly a great one; but its
difficult Proportioned to its greatness. That it will
be possible to relieve the taxpayers of the country from
the whole of so large a harden at any early period is not
to he expected ; but it Is upon the expectation of doing so
that the Ministry at present founds itself, and it will be
in proportion to its moms in doing so that it will
retain the ocinlidenee of the people.

Tat Fonmax Slues et van RAND.—Phlseas during
the apnea, had, of wane, met Kr. Kennedy fre-
quently in and shout the House, and had become
aware that Lady Lann's husband, front time to time,
mad* little overtures of civility to him,—taking him
now and again by the button-hole, walking home with
him as far as their joint paths allowed, and asking him
once or twice to some and dine in Grosvenor Place.
These little advances towards • repetition of the old
friendship. Phinsas would have avoided altogether, had
It been poseible. The invitation to Mr. Kennedy's
house be did refuse, feeling himself positively bound
to do so by Lady Leara'seomenancljet the consequenoes
be what they might. When he did refuse, Mr.
Kennedy would emu= • look of displeasure and leave
him, and Phineaff would hope that the work was done.
Then there would come another encounter, and the
Invitation would be repeated. At last about the middle
of May, there earns another note. "Dear Finn, will
you dine with us on Wednesday the 28th ? I give you
• long notice, because you seem to have so many
appointments. Yours always, Robert Kennedy." He
had no alternative. He mast refuse, even though
double the notice had been given. He could only think
that Mr. Kennedy was • very obtuse man and one who
would not take • hint, and hope that be might
mused at last. So he wrote an answer, not intended
to be conciliatory. "My deer Kennedy, ' I am
sorry to may that I am engaged on the 28th
Your. abeam ninon Finn." At this period
be did his beet to keep out of Mr. Kennedy's way, and
would be very canning In hie mancenvres that they
should not be alone together. It was difficult, as they
sat on the same bench in the Horne, and consequently
law each others Imoet every day of their lives. Never.
Unless, be thought that with • little cunning he might
prevail, ISPOetelly SS he WY not unwilling to give SO
much of offence as might assist his own object. But
when Mr. Kennedy called upon him at his offfoe the day
after he had written the above note, he had no means
of escape. "1 am sorry you cannot come on the 28th,"
Mr. Kennedy said, as soon as he was seated. Phineas
vu taken so mock by surprise that all his cunning
failed him. "Well, yes," said he ; "I was very sorry;
—very sorry, indeed." "it seems to me, Finn, that
you have had some reason for avoiding me of late. I
do not know that I have done anything to offend you."
"Nothing on earth." said Phinear. "I am wrong,
then, in supposing that anything beyond mere chanre
has prevented you from coming to my house?"
Phineaa felt that he was in a terrible difficulty, end he
felt also that he was being rather ill-need in being Diu
oross.etamieed as to his morons for not going to •
gentleman's dinner. He thought that • man ought to
be allowed to chase when he would go and when be
would not go, and that questions such as these Were
very uncommon. Mr. Kennedy was sitting opposite to
him, looking more sour than usual ;—and now his own
countenance also became a little solemn. It was urn.
poesible that he should use Lady Lannes name, and
yet he must in Mate way, let his persecuting friend
know that no further invitation would be of any use
that there was something beyond more chum in his not
going to Grosvenor Place. But how was he to do this?
The difficulty was so great that he could not
see his way out of it. So he sat silent with •
solemn face. Mr. Kennedy then asked him
another question, which made the diffieulty ten
timer greater. " Has my wife asked you
not to cont. Sc oar awe.. ;^ It was neeeseary that the
should make a rush and get out of Ids trouble some way.
"To tell you the truth, Kennedy I don't think the
he
Went', to See Me there." "That does not answers
inv questios. Has she asked you not to some?" " She
said that which left on my mind an impression that
she would sooner that I did not come.' " Why did
she soy?" " How oan I mower snob a question as that,
Kennedy! Is it fair to ask it T' "Quite fair--I
think." "I think it quite unfair, and I most decline
to answer it. I cannot imagine what you expect to
plod by croes-questioning me in this way. Of course
no mato likes to go to • house if be does not believe that
everrbody there will make him welcome." " You and
Lady Laura used to be great friends." "I hope wear,
not enemies now. But things will occur that cause
friendship, to grow cold." "Have you quarrelled with
her father? "With Lord Brentford ?No." "Or with
her brother,—since the duel I mean." Upon my word
and honour. I cannot stand this, and I will not. I have
not 1111 yet quarrelled with anybody ; but I must
quarrel with you if you go on is this way. It is quite
unusual that a man should be put through his facings
alter such • fashion, and I mast beg that there may be
an end of it." "Then I mast ask Lady Lure." "You
can say what you like to your own wife of course. I
cannot hinder you." Upon that Mr. Kennedy formally
shook hada with him, in token that there wee no
positive breach between them.—as two nations may
still maintain their alliance, though they have made up
their minds to hate sash other, and thwart each other,
at every tarn,—and took his leave. Phinusi, as besot
at his window,looking out into the perk, and thinking
of what had pseud, could not but reflect that, dia.
unteable as Mr. Kennedy had been to him, he would
probably make bimetal much more disagreeable to his
wife. And, for himself, he thought that he had got
out of the serape very well by the exhibition of •
litte mock anger."—PAirsear fine," by Anthony

remarks :—" There are very few simple articles

the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the
