upon the Tontroversy they have provoked.
Half the Time, itself appears to be on some
days taken up with the praise and abuse of
S. U 1.0., and, therefore, there is enough of
this without us. We willdo ourDorset Rector
and doughty low Church champion, however,
the lust Ice to say that we quite concur with
the Rev, Francis French, of Islip Rectory,
who, on Saturday, writes to vindicate SO.".
from the personalities indulged in by his
, opponents imputing to him "a small amount
of knowli•dge of his subject, with ignorance
of Church history, and an absence of demon-
stration that he knows what he talks of."
Those who know the Rev. Lord know well
that this is far from being the' case with him,
and that he is perfectly au fail on every
subject to which he devotes his pen. Never-
theless, the utmost extent of his knowledge
would not suffice to make good his cause or
relieve from the taint of prejudice a 'kind
that is so obviously biassed against his
brethren who attach importance to a class of
observances which the Church of England
ever since the Reformation has agreed to
regard as amongst "things indifferent."
Like an epidemic, or long intermittent fever
rather, there seems destined to break out
now and again in our Reformed Church,
apprehensions of ancient bogeys, and bug-
bears dead and gone. Now it is Dr. Posey
nod Tract No. 90 that appear terrible in
the alarmists' eyes. Then it is the
service of Mr. Bennett, at Sk Barnabas, that
frightens Knightsbridge from its propriety. Anon
there comes Brother Ignatius and the Monks of
Norwich at his back. Then St. George's-in-the-
East and the Sunday outrages there. And finally
St. Alban's. Holborn, and the riots of Northmoor
Often, which last, in the anticipation of one
authority, are, we regret to see, accepted as the
avatar of • perfect revolution amongst the people
" maddened." as it is said, by " observanocs they
cannot endure and cannot get quit of." Now,
were all this seal against the High Church clergy,
who are really models of personal and practical
piety, accompanied by even an equivalent amount
of indignation against the lax and latitudinarian
doctrines, not to say scepticism, of the Broad
, Church party, against Dr. Colenso and his advo-
cacy of the discontinuance of prayer to our Lord
Jesus Christ, the second person in the H oly Trinity
—against "ksaays and keviews;"were it attended
by • disposition to shrink from and shudder at
attempts like that of Lord Ebury to deprive the
Church entirely of her ancient landmarks by
mangling the Rook of Common Prayer; were
even decent disgust exhibited at the conduct of
such blackguard fellows as he who drank up the
NorthmoorCommunion wine at a gulp, or he who
pounded the face of the incumbent, the Rev.
James Hunt, to mummy—we might he able to
say there was some sense in the outcry, which,
applicable to one or two solitary instances, bu been
extended blindly and indiscriminately against
the whole of our English Ritualists. But there
is no consistency in the journals that attack the
"old clothes" and vestmenta, winking at the
above, sad is good as defending the atrocious ex-
pressions of "grog" and "negua" applied by a
learned counsel to the wine and water in the
Holy Eucharist. Our impression is that high as
the controversy may for moment appear to run,
it will, aimn one and all of the preceding instances
of similar excitement, die away aud disappear,
and be no more heard of. Doubtless these agita-
tions have their uses. It is the thunder-storm
that clears the heavens of pernicious elements
and leaves the world safe and serene.

AT LgAIIIIIOI'Og. This
Aspiediural Gazette of Saturday says :-1 here is a con-
ference upon the sewage qereation proceeding at Leasn•
legion as we go to ',rt. ; and the loading sanitary
authorities are diectorsing what may he done towards a
profitable solution of the il Mcultres in which the Water-
claret system is landing inland towns. Up till within
the past quarter of • century the difficulty had not
generally amen. Cesspools filled and were emoted by
nigh:men, and barmen.' ointracts in London wore taken
for the clearance of nuisances in this direct way. Many
thousand posi is per annum were thua paid for the
scavenging of barracks and public ofhoes in town, r. e.
for the removal of filth for which • oonsiderable prim
was afterwards paid by market gardeners and suburban
farmers. And the genera, scavenging of houses was •
coolly charge upon our towns. The cesapool system
Was, howeter, a thoroughly unwholesome one, and its
abandonment was inevitable. The use of water for
washing all our waste irnmedietely away has since
broome almost universal. But tie river, are thus
becoming fouled, and our water supply is being injured.
What is the remedy ? No Coubt the use of the earth'
closet, which is virtually the uld orsapnol plan taken in
detail and rendered perfectly wholesome, will have its
vigorous sdvonati I. at Leamington. And whorever this
method is carefully superintended and resolutely insisted
on by the master of the bowie, there cannot be a doubt
that it will perfectly answer its purples.. It only needs
that • storage of dry earth be provided for use in this
way and occasionally replenished—that the prejudices
of servants be removal or overruled—and that frequent
removals of the boxes be provided for. A well
organised system of scavenging would then be easily
carried out, with perfect iouffensivenesa both inside the
house and out. And we should have • molt valuable
manure. which might be carried load by load to farm.
all round our townie, where loads of top soil would be
readily obtained for it —,he difference in value being
paid. A considerable revenue would no doubt thus be
derived in place of the heavy yearly charges which have
hitherto been paid.
