nobody to look after them. The very poor
in some districts are rendered incapable
by poverty and ignorance of remedying
this state of things; and the classes just
above them in other neighbourhoods, who
might do something towards helping them-
selves, are afflicted with a wonderful supine-
ness with regard to sanitary matters. What
we want is not printed advice respecting
precautions which most people knew all
about before they saw them in official
print, but some active authority to
see that these recommendations arc carried
out. The Public Health Act, it is supposed
will do something for us, if its provisions
are enforced; but probably only a severe
cholera epidemic will thoroughly awaken
us to those sanitary reforms which would
save more lives from general disease in a
single year than an outbreak of cholera is
likely to destroy.

that MGM of the skins of animals slaughtered had

IV.—As THE slums WANES we begin to I
count up the national gains from the year's
Parliamentary work ; and truly these appear
few and insignificant on tho surface. The
estimates, of courts, have been passed as usual
and with the customary laxity. In financial
matters we have made little progress this year;
but what we have done bas been so far satis-
factory that we have got rid of a few more minor
duties. The only distinctive feature of the
Budget—an attempt to comment* paying off the
National Debt in earnest—had to be abandoned
through circumstances over which, we may truly
say, the new Ministry had little control. We
must provide breech-loaders and turret-ships for
our own defence, before we think of decreasing
the burdens of posterity. As for general legis-
lation we have had marvellously little. The
long debates on the Reform schema occupied so
many Government nights that little else could
be done; &nd as the Bill was lost, the time
poems at first sight to have been wielded; but we
may well hope that much has been done towards
that thorough understanding of the subject, and
the feelings of political patties with respect to
it, which Must precede • satisfactory settlement
Perhaps the two most important measures of the
session will have been the Cattle Diseases Act,
and the Public Health Act, and it will be • sad
memento of this legislative year that Parliament
should have had at its first assembling to legislate
for • plague among cattle, and just before its
prorogation for a pestilence among men. Let us
only hope that the operations of the second Dill
will be as suoceseful as those of the first, and a
session which hail increased the security of human
life will not have been wholly thrown away.
In regard to general impracticable discussions
without issue, we have had about as large a crop
as usual, and we may reckon among these not
only the debate on the Jamaica revolt, but that
on the hank rate of Discount. The continued
10 per cent rate is a real calamity for our mer-
chants, not only in their home trade, but as
affecting their credit abroad; but even if Par-
liament could do anything to relieve them, there
is little chance of any action being taken at the
fag end of a session.
V.—Two IMPUDENT Foanzaiss in connection
with the Reform League were exposed last week.
Pint came the letter to Mr. Beale., purporting
to have been written by Mr. Glad.stone's son,
which virtually promised, that if the League
would call a meeting at Primrose Hill, instead
of Hyde Park, on the Monday after the dis-
turbances, the writer's father and several other
advocates of Reform in the House of Commons
would attend. Mr. Beales, elated with his
supposed good luck, called upon Mr. Gladstone
respecting the matter, and found that the letter
was • forgery. The second spurionl epistle *as
probably concocted by the same specious hand
—that of some secret but determined enemy of
the League. It purported to emanate from Mr.
Beales to the Secretary of the Athenteum Club,
offering to pay for damage done to the club-
house by • "demonstration," because the
popular leaders bad mistaken it for that of the
Conservative Carlton, the inference being, of
course, that the latter was fair prey to the mob.
Nobody could reprobate more strongly than we
do the employment of such treacherous means to
bring the League into contempt ; and surely the
writer or writers of these letters must see that
their efforts are superfluous, when all the really
influential Reformers appear so anxious to dis-
avow connection with Mr. Deales's League—as
Mr. Gladstone in exposing in the daily papers
the forgery implicating hie name, and Mr. Mill
in his place in the House at Common on Friday
night. The latter seems already to regret his
participation in the Agricultural Hall meeting.
As for Messrs. Bright, Fawcett, Hughes, and
others of the "people's friends," they seem to
have kept well out of the way of all these
Reform demonstrations.

nig Rev. A. J. D. D'Ofterer.—We are delighted

artificial in the style of his delivery," observes the
former prolate; "Mr. D'Orsey has frequently officiated
with my sanction in 44 diocese, and bears a high

delivery as able, judicious, and interesting. Whilst the
latter certifies to his qn•lificationa, from long experience
and practical applications of the subject. We have little

Foot was summoned by Henry Attwell, owner and
captain of a vessel Galled the Myrtle, now laying at the
Breakwater Harbour, Portland, for an assault. Mr.
Weston attended to prosecute. It seemed that defer,.
dant had engaged with the captain for • voyage as the
second officer on board his vessel, for which he had
signed the ordinary articles. Having returned from the
voyage, he disabused the cargo for which theorem were
to have 4a. fel. between them. Foot had been paid 2s. of
Ibis amount which was more than his pert but which he
said he shared amongst the crew. After this When the
complainant was going into Weymouth the defendant
molested him in an abrupt manner, told him he owed

Ultimately Foot struck him • blow in the mouth, the

desk him a second severe blow between the eye",
from the effects of which the blood flowed profusely.—

and called William Court who corroborated his statement
The charge, however, was not clearly proved, and the
magistrates dismissed the summona—Edmund Hardy

The prolocutor, who is a basket maker residing
in Dorchester, sent the defendant in January last, with
an account encloed in an envelope to W. H. P. Weston,
Eari, at Wolvaton House, but gave him no authority
to take the money. When however, he got there, he
took the money, reeeipted the bill, and from prose-
cutor's evidence, appropriated the money to his
own use. Shepherd knew nothing of the affair, till
within stew weeks since, when be delivered • ascend
account to Mr. Weirton. He was then told by the boiler
that the account had been settled long ago, and wished
him to call again as he was busy. This he did, when he
was shown the original bill receipted by the defendant.
—Hardy now stated that he handed the money over
to Mr. Shepherd the same evening. He was committed
for trial, bail being accepted—himself in LID, sad one

Bomor nu Perry Stsmorts, yesterday. —The
Bench were occupied several hours In hearing charges
seising out of disgraceful proceedings in Fordington.—
Frederick Brown was summoned for wilfully damaging
the house door of Jane Marks, one of the loose women
of Fordington, on Saturday se'nnight, about 11.30 p.m.
It seems that Marks was in her house with two men.
I one of whom, • man.f-war's man, was the chum of a
person named Jacob Box, who was in the company of
defendant. Mrs Brown, on hearing that complainant
had taken in the Jack 'far, Galled to her husband to
"have him out of there," saying be would get some-
' thing had if he remained, and further asserting that if
her huabsnd did not break open the door she would.
Being thus appealed to Marks and two witnesses alleged
that defendant put his knee against the door, forced out
the staple, and threw open tire door. Defendant
I asserted that this was a trumped up case, and called
Jacob Cox who said that as he was passing the door
jut before twelve o'clock, Marks took off his asp 1
and he followed her into the house after it. Several
witnesses were called to speak to the occurrence as
stated by this witness. The evidence being so com-
pletely contradictory, the Bench called P. C. Keats,
who spoke to being called at half-past eleven, and 1
finding the door heeler') open.—The Mayor acid there
was no doubt that some of the witnesses had eommitt d

The Bench after carefully weighing the evidenee,
decided that the charge was proved, and sentenced the
defendant to be fined CI, or 'even days' hard labour.
The result was loudly objected to by Mrs. Brown DA

to Pay for one like Mark, bat to go to gaol that wouldn't

suggestion, and took a week to pay in.—Deorg•
Hoare, son-in-law of the last defendant, was summoned
for abusive and insulting language towards Henry

bye-laws, on Saturday night week. Complainent,

words took place between the parties la the passage of
complainant's house, when defendant used threats to-
wards Hunt. It was contended that as defendant was
summoned under the bye-lowa of the Corporation, and
the affair did not take place in the street, the charge
could not be sustained. Farther it was explained that
the defendant went into the house to me if there were
any bad girls there, because P.C. Keats would not, as
he contemplated indicting the house and that defen-

wife of the last defendant, was then Alleged with using
Insulting language to Mrs. Hunt, contrary to the bye-
law,. This took place during the events which led to
the previous case, and the insult was an allegation that
she had a child before marriage, which was totally false.

formation against her husband for the way the house
was conducted, before this summons was taken oat.
P.C. Keats corroborated complainant. The defense
was that the charge was brought out of spleen, and that
what took plisse was the natural consequence of the
contemptuous way in which Mrs. Hunt had spoken of
defendant and her friends. A 1•00•11 named Prowse
was called, and her report of the insulting words was
not so complete as that of comp &insist and the con-
stable. The Bench said Mrs. Hunt was a most respect-
able and well-oondueted woman, and it was infamous to
use mush language to her. She was fined 30s. or a
fortnight's imprisonment. Mrs. Hoare said she would
not pay : she would rather go to Prison. Sh• ansded

on Sundays, and said the police did not do their duty,

" but because I am not able singlehanded
to undertake so much arduous duty." He
then intimated that from having a calebration

on that oecision, would be postponed till the after-
noon. The following is no outline of the Venerable
Archdeacon's first sermon, ninth was delivered in
the afternoon. The text upon whielt the address
was founded was I Kings xxii. 14 :—"And Miesiah
said, as the Lord Routh, what the Lord saith unto
we, that will I speak." in addressing them for the
first times, their lawful pastor, it might sot be
nasuitable to take a brief view of the work
which he had to do—its nature, and its
obligations. In • general way they • i the
work was, viz., to preach God's word, sad administer
those holy Increments which Christ has ordained in
his Church ; logo in and out amongst his flock in all
the duties of pastoral visitation, and thus @hew him.
self • minister of Christ that need not be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of Truth, and rendering
spiritual help to every man &wording as circum-
stances might requim This was no essy task, for
though the minister who spoke the troth, would
generally find a planing response in the hearts of
many, there were numbers whose hearts not being
i right with God, rebelled against it, and sometimes
treated as an enemy the man who came to them as •
friend. Christ came into the world "to bear witness
to the truth." and so every minister of His was set
lapatt to testify of the truth—to preach it, to ez•
pound it, to defend it, recommending it all the while
by his own life and omtrersation. The groat duty
then of the Christian minister we. fidelity to his
sacred Dfril*, but more especially to that brazich of
it which is the great instrument of God for the
saving of men's souls—the preaching of HU Word.
And it was all important that they delivered the
message faithfully, not suffering themselves to be
warped from the truth by the spirit and the fashion
of the age. Our Lord warned them from departing
from the faith, and Church history abounded with
examples of such unfaithfulness. Even from the
writings of the apostles, they learned that from the
very lust, the leaven of unsound doctrine began to
work. It had always,been Satan's policy to corrupt
the truth, as well as to crush it by persecution. Nor
let them of the present day flatter themselves that
they were safe from similar peril witness the di.'
petal which had distracted Christendom dining the
lest half century— some falling away from the
Nth of the Reformation, and others lapsing into •
perilous rationalism. Yet these, he insisted, were but
old errors, re-modelled to meet the spirit of the
age. Amid each temptations the minister of Christ
most make the language of Micaiala in the text his
own, "As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto
me that will I speak." He referred to the °imam 1
stances under which Micatah made that vow, and
spoke of it as • noble instance of holy courage and
ministerial faithfulness. Ministers might find it
pleasant and profitable to swim with the stream—to
adopt fashionable perversions of the truth, but woe
to than if they preached anything but the simple
truth as it is in Jesus, woe to them if they made the
gospel of Christ of none effect by traditions. He pro-
ceeded : "Let all things be dope decently and in order
in the celebratiou of Divine worship. Let apostolic
doctrine go hand in band with apostolic discipline.
Let as uphold the dignity and authority of the
church's mionts7. Let us or I Ilain those sound and '
sober views of her sacraments, as means and
channels and seeds of saving grace, which our church
holds. Let us not degrade them into new forme and
ceremonies on the one hand, nor transform them into
mysterious and magical charms on the other. Thus,
brethren, let us maintain that high vantage ground
of mound doctrine and equally mound worship, on
which our chinch sets us. Let as not strip too bare
of all decent ornaments with the fanatical puritan on
the one hand, nor disfigure her simple and holy
beauty, by overlaying it by an *MOWS of ritual on
the other. On all such points, arid on every other
where the proof of God's truth, and the success of
the chnstian ministry is concerned, let us bold the
uround taken by Micaiali in any text "As the Lord
heath, what the Lord mith to me that will I speak."
This is firm, decided, honest language. There is
no trimming between the Lord and Baal. Let
13sal's propheta speak falsehood, if they prefer pre-
sent emolument to future salvation, bat as for me,
let the minister of it say, I am resolved to speak
only that I have received from the Lord, which I
find in his word, what I believe with the Church,
what I have pledged myself to preach, —even though
all the Ahab. and Jezebels in the world should con-
spire to take my life. Brethren it is only because
she has never wanted in her bosOni, men of such a
spirit, that our Church has continued to this day.
It was this spirit that kindled the light of the
glorious Refotmation ; it is to this spirit we owe our
noble army of Protestant martym,—the men who
laid the foundation of civil and religious belief in
the 16th century. God forbid that we should ever
treat their memories with less then the homier
they deserve. God forbid that there should ever
be wanting amoog us, men of a kindred spirit. No-
ver should ministers of the gospel fear the facie of inan,
or rentlor a oworard/y .1.1•••••••• 4e Si.. fashion of the
age, when we know it to he contrary to the word of
God. Here, my brethren, is our strong hold—the
word of God according to the MOM or mle of faith
received by our Church, and according to that true
Catholic sense in which she understands it. We
come not amongst you, dear brethren, to set firth
any private opinion of our own, but to preach only
what the true Catholic Church of Christ has
ever held and taught; and what she holds and
teaches, we are to bold and teach. And what a
glorious message is ours I We come not amongst
you to make you wise in the wisdom of this world
to teach you nattiest science, to unfold to you the
learned lore of by-gone ages—these things we re-
spect in their proper places; these thinp we know
to possess a high value; not one word would we
speak in depreciation of them,—but what we chiefly
come to make known amongst you is, the way
of salvation 7 Christ, to bring you to the
knowedge an fellowship of His grace. This
is our grand, our sublime employment. If
we fail of 10000•1 la this, our Ministry
has not marched its glorious end, and
we could only weep over the calamity." But he
entered cheerfully on his work, believing that his
labour would not be in vain in the Lord. The mete
sage he had to deliver as God's ambassador was •
message of reconciliation, and love, and peace. In
the spirit of the Master then—in • spirit of love and
of peaoe let him deliver it, and he implored them
solo listen to it. He expreesed • hope that their
intercourse might be peaceful and happy, and a
lasting blessing to both. After referring to the
solemnity of the occasion, he asked their prayers
that his bands might be strengthened, his aim
simple, that he might be faithful and that they
might be benefited. Time was hastening on, all
things were speeding to an end, and "now is the
day of salvation." That they might be filled with
all God's fulness. He sent His only Bon manifest
in the flesh to die for them. Redemption by Him—
full, free, eternal Redemption, was the great theme of
the Christian ministry. The love of God the Father in
devising that wondrons scheme by which His perfec-
tions were glorified more than by the creation of the
heavens; the love of God the Bon in carrying out
that scheme into execution, by His incarnation,
sufferings, and death; the love ef God the Holy
Ghost in the conversion and refreshing of our souls;
and the admirable constitution of the Church, as a
system of mama, divinely appointed, for giving
leflect to all this love in its application to the souls of
' men—these were the themes whisk as they surpansed
all others in dignity and importance, were those
which would engage their attention from sabbath to
sabbath in that house of God. He concluded by
I expressing a fervent hope that the band of union
which the good providence of God had formed be-
tween them, would become • source to them not
only of mutual satisfaction and esteem for the time
now preemie but, what wssof far greater importance
I of spiritual and ever enduring benefit for that eternity
which is to some, while they, each of them, remembered
that solemn account which they toast respectively
render at the iudgmeut seat of Christ—he of the
winistry now commenced, they err
I privileges and the use they should have made of
them. God grant that it might be snob an amount
u should prove to each of them • source of ever-
lasting joy.
