BOW.

" Charles James, by divine permanion Bishop of London.
To the rector and churchwardens of the parish of Bow, in
the county of Middlesex, and within our diocese of Lon-
don, and to all others whom it may concern. Whereas we
did, on or about the lfith day of January last put, by an
instrument under our hands and seals, revoke and make
void a holm therefore granted by us to the Rev. John
Eddowes Gladstone, clerk, Bachelor of Arts, for perform-
ing the office of minister of Long-acre chapel (being an un-
consecrated chapel), in the parish of St. Martin-in-the-11
Pielda, in the county of Middlesex, and within our said din-
eese and jurisdietion, end did further prohibit the said John
Eddowes Gladstone front officiating as minister or perform-
ing any ecclesiastical duties within the said chapel or else-
where within our diocese. Now we do hereby monish and
require you by virtue of our authority, ordinary and epis-
copal, not to permit or seder the said John Eddowes Glad-
atone to preach, or otherwiseofficiate as minister or perform
any ecclesiastical duties whatever in the church or parish of
Bow aforesaid, under pain of the law ant contempt thereof.
Given at London House, this second day of April, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two,
the twen•y•fourth year of our translation."
Upon receipt of this notice the rector and churchwardens
of Bow issued the following announcement :
"At Mary Stratford, Bow.—Services In Passion Week.—
In cosisequence of a monition leaned under the hand and
lend of the Bishop of London to the rector and churchwar-
dens of Bow, prohibiting them from permitting the Rev.
J. E. Gladstone to officiate in the church, they feel it their
duty to give notice that that gentleman will not preach as
announced on Wednesday Evening, April T. The sermon
no that evening will be preached by the Rev. G. T. Drif-
field, rector of Bow.—Bow, April 6, 1862."
Three days after issuing his monition, the following note
was addressed by

BIEIIOP TO TER REV. 0. T. DRIVVIELD.
" London House, April 6, 1852.
" Rev. Sir,-1 have to inform you that if my monition,
which has been duly served upon you and the churchwar-
dens, be disobeyed, I shall feel it my duty to institute pro-
ceedings against you end them is the Ecclesiastical Court.
—I am, rev. air, your faithful servant,
(Signed)Lovnox."
Next day the correspondence was closed by the subjoined
note from the Rev. G. T. Driffield to the Bishop :
" Rectory, Bow, April 6, lAi2.
"My lord,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the re.
ecipt of your lordship's two notes, dated the Ist and sth of
April instant, and also a document addressed to myself sod
the churchwardens of Bow, dated the 2nd of April, Triple,
lug as not to permit the Rev. J. E. (Redstone to officiate
under pain of the law. I have consulted the churchwardens
on this subject, and have to inform your lordship that your
lordship's monition will be complied with. I have, there-
lore, withdrawn my invitation to my friend Mr. Gladstone,
to occupy my pulpit. In my letter to your lordship, of
the 31st March, I thought it right to suggest that
your lordship's interference Ives pretuaeure, as the Ecclesias-
tical Court had not decided on the legality of your lordship's
proceedings against Mr. Gladstone. Notwithstanding your
lordahip's statement that there no doubt about your'
power to inhibit him, I feel bound to say, for my own justi-
fication, that Mr. Gladstone does consider that power as
part of the question in dispute. I cannot, therefore, aben•
don my opinion that it would be only just and fair that
Mr. Gladstone should set be treated as guilty or incapaci-
tated until proved to be so before the proper tribunal. I
will only, in conclusion, add, that after the psblic notice
taken by rur lordship of the intimation that Mr. Gladstone
would preach in this church, I shall feel at liberty to give
publicity to the correspondence which has Vibes place be-
tween your lordship and myself.
" I have the honour to b your lordship's faithful ser-
vant, (Signed) " G. T. BaII•FIELD."
" _

The following letter was addressed on the same day to
the Rev. J. 13. Gladstone, bgche Rector of Bow :
tory, Bow, April 6, 1852.
" My dear Oladstotte,—lt is with much regret that, as I
very hastily intimated to you yest erday, I am under the
necessity of sating you to postpone
The
preaching at my
church until some future occasion. The bishop's monition,
• Dopy of which you have seen, appears to leave no alter-
native uto our course of proceeding. I send you also
copies of the eiterespoadenoe which has taken place be
tween the bishop and myself ; in which you will
see that I have respectfully stated to hint my
conviction that it is unfair, pendent* lite, to deal
with you as with a condemned person, or as with
one legally incapacitated. Let me add, that I feel the
hardship of the mine which his lordship hu seen fit to
pursue to be great towards myself, is compelling me to
relinquish a step which I contend it was open to me con-
scientiously to take, rather than be involved in tedious and
expensive litigation, in conducting which the opposite
party would be propiened of influence and resources in far
beyond my own. Ide not presume to prejudge the ques-
tion between yourself and the bishop. I only trust that
you will be wisely directed, and that it will please Almighty
God to overrule the decision for the welfare of His church.
Relieve me to remain, ever most sincerely yours,
" G. T. Dairrnsu).
" The Rev. J. E. Gladstone."

MURDER.—On Saturday an inquest was bold on
the body of Judith Dooley, who was found murdered on
Friday morning, at the gate of a field on Mr. Townsend's
property, at BaUystick, county Eilkenay.—William Bro-
phy, a labourer, and his wife, Margaret Brophy, in cus-
tody on suspicion, are persons of middle age, and by no
means prepossesaing appearance. Evidence was given to
the effect that the murdered woman, who was a pedlar,
had been seen en Thursda evening going in the direction
of Brophy's house; and that from the place where the
body was found there were tracks of blood ideag the bead
of the field and down a lane to the prisoners' house. In
• room attached to the house, but used as a stable, there
were several stains of blood covered with straw—and when
the constable asked what occasioned the blood, the female
prisoner replied that it war the blood of a horse ; and the
male primmer, who was a-rested when at work in • field,
said it was the blood of a hen which they bad killed the
previous night. The constable found in the kitchen of
rophy's house a spade having several marks of blood
upon it, and long human hair, similar to that of the de-
l' ceased, attached to it —The unfortunate woman's skull
was literally smarfited to pieces. The jury returned a ver-
dict of wilful murder aviinst William and Margaret Brophy.
FIRE AT TILE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY
GOODS DEroT.—Last evening, between the hours of seven
and eight, considerable alarm was caused in the immediate
neighbourhood of the Eastern Counties Railway Goode
Depot, in Hare-street, Bethnal-green, in consequence of a
cry of tiro being raised within the building. The report
was strengthened from a number of persons being seen
hurrying towards the spacious premises with buckets of
water in their hands. This caused the inhabitants to send
messengers in sundry directions for the aid of the firemen
and engine.. In a very brief period the Brigade engines
from Whitt-cream-street, Jeffrey-square, and Watling-street,
together with that of the West of England office. were
dispritehed to the scene, on reaching which the firemen
were informed by the officials of the Railway Company,
that whilst the men were employed sealing some packages,
a light fell amongst some bales of hemp, but owing to the
exertions of the employis on the premises, the damage was
confined to the destruction of six bales of hemp. The ea-
siest of the Imam were, therefore, act segaired.

WARMINO AND VENTILATION OF THE
Romig OF COMMONS.

MUT WORT 07 IL OOLDSWONTAT 00111 T ON TEI
TISITILATION OF Till 11l itonet OF COMMONS.
To the Honourable tbe House of Commons.
Ia abedinsee to the order of your honourable house I
doted the 12th day of Marsh, 1852, I beg to report that
am investigating the arrangements for the warming, ven-
tilating, and lighting the new House of Commons; and,
I having been given to understand by several members that
It world be itereptahle to the house that I should make a
first report ma the state of the ventilation as early as possible,
I beg further to report as follows :
That, although I have been interrupted in my investiga-
tions, and thereby prevented from making them as full and
Complete as I maid have wished, I have seen sufficient to
sati.ty rays. If of the causes of the great inconvenience cape-
rienced at this moment. _

'Ant I Ilud the atmosphere of the house in a desiccated
mud °premise state, ar.d subject to constant disturbance
from initial and retrograde currents passing in ell direc-
tions, u if at random, and apparently without control,
producing direct draughts in particular parts of the house,
and oppression in others. I also find that from the same
want of proper control, offensive vapours and effluvia (ems.
noting from contaminated sources) are drawn into the
house.

That moat of these evils can be eorreeted by a simple ar
rangentent, and at an expertise comparatively trivial and
although thin is a common-sense question, yet it would be
difficult to demonstrate it on paper unaccompanied by ac-
tual experiment, or to explain the facto and conditions on
which this conclusion is arrived at. And Inasmuch as on
' former occasions all unfair advantage has, I think, been
taken of the statements and evidence which I have given
from time to time, and portions of my plans have been
adopted without consulting me, I am induced to ask per-
mission to refrain from entering into details at present.
The principles of ventilation- which have been recom-
mended by mr, and, to the bent of my belief, acted upon in
the Chamber of Deputies at Paris, end now in operation in
' the Courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas in Weetmln-
*ter Hall (which courts were previously unsatisfactorily
ventilated by a similar arrangement to that now applied to
this house), and their success in every court of judicature,
and other places in the provinces to which they hate been
extended, affiird sufficient evidence (in addition to what I
have seen in this house), to justify me in saying that tf the
house be placed ceder the central of the ()thee of Winks
for a short time, I vionld pledge myself, with their assist-
mice, to remove all the 'material evils that at prer:nt exist,
at a very trilling expense; and, at the expiration of such
control, to restore the ventilation, if required, to its present
' state within the finite of • few hours.
Of course it will be understood that this report applies
only to the house itself, and not to the entire building.

QUEENS COLLEGE, BELFAST.
Tho first triennial visitation of the Queen's Col-
lege, Belfast, took Om e in the Examination Halt or that
building, on Tuesday. The visitors were his Grace the
Duke of Leinster (who presided), the Right Hon. Maniere
Brady (ex-Lord Chancellor), the Right Hon. Baron
Greene, the Lord Bishop of 1/own and Connor, end the
Rev. 1/r. Coulter, Moderator of the General Assembly. On
seats arranged in the vicinity of the visitors' table, were
Lord Viscount Massareene and Ferrard, Lord Dufferin and
Clanhoye, the Vicar• General of Down, and Sir James
Murray. The Deans of Residences, viz , Rev. Dr. Cook
(Presbyterian), Rev. M. Murphy (Episcopalian), Rev.
Mr. Porter (unitarian), and Rev. Mr. Lupton (Wesleyan),
were seated to the right of the visitors' in front, and oppo-
site to them, the President of the College, Rer. P. S.
Henry; the Vice-President, Dr. Andrews; W. .1. C.
Allen, Eeq., registrar ; and further down, on either
side, the profeseors ; the students occupying the spaces
behind. All the officials, professors, and students wore their
collegiate robes, and the red, blue, and white silk hoods
1 of the graduates of different degrees produced a good effect.
The roll of professors and students having been called
over by the registrar,
The Duke of Leinster proceeded, but in so low a tone as
to he nearly inaudible to the reporters, to put the several
questions enjoined by the statutes, regarding the internal
state of the college, &c. These were snows-reel by the pre-
sident in an equally low tone. !tepee:wed from the replies
of the president, that the number of students at present in
the college is 119, being an increase of II over last year,
and that the amount of fees received from the students was
1,4131., the amount received Lot year being 1,3201.; and
the yesr before 1,212 f. The prtsident's statement with re-
gent to the discipline of the college appeared to he quite
satisfactory, as also with regard to ths progress of the stu-
dents and the efficiency of the professors. The students
applauded the replies of the president to the queries which
I elicited these gratifying reports.
The Deans of Residences were then severally questioned
with regard to the religious and moral conduct of the stu-
dents of each religious denomination under their care, and
their answers were in the highest degree satisfactory.
In reply to queries, the President stated that 4,0001. had
been granted by government for the apparatus required in
ditf,rent departments of,this college, and other matters re-
quiring outlay; but he was sorry to say that this sum was
quite inadequate to supply the wants of the college. An
opportunity would be afforded to the visitors of inspecting
the departments alluded to, as also the apartments of the
professors, which were very inadequately furnished ; and he
was satisfied the view ho had takou of the matter was the
correct one. It would be of the greatest importance if a
statement, in accordance with those views, by the board of
visitors should go abroad, in order that an annual grant for
the support of the college might be obtained, as at present
they did not receive a farthing beyond the fees received
from the students.

The buainess of the visitation having been brought to a
close,
The Duke of Leinater addressed the meeting as follows :
Mr. President, Mr. Vice-President, and gentlemen, I desire,
on the part of the visitors, to state the high gratification we
feel at the result of the visitation which has just taken phee.
You ere there has been no complaint made by anybody,
saveone, and that has arisen solely from the misconstruc-
tion of a statute. (Cheers.) 1 must say, too, that I have
been much pleased with the manner in which that young
gentleman, Mr. M'Mahon, has brought forward his ease ;
and there is not the least doubt, if any of the professors or
students may hereafter think they have cause of complaint,
that if he brings it forward calmly and quietly before the
visitors they will give it their best consideration. (Ap-
plause.) I trust this time three years, when our neat
visitation occurs, we will find you progressing in theism
way as at present, and that then it will be my pleasing dot
to return you thanks, as I now do, for the manner in which
you have enabled us to conduct our visitation. (Cheers.)
The President then announced that the term was at an
end, and that the students might pmcced to their homes, to
resume business in a fortnight.
The Puke of Leinstor, the other members of the Visita-
tion Board, Lords Mumma.) and Dufferin, the Deans of
Residences, Sir I. Murray, the VicarAieneral, C. Lanyon,
Esq., C.E., and several ladies and gentlemen present, were
then accompanied through the different ports of the'
College by the president and professors, after which the
president entertained the distinguished company to a
dijeinter in his own apartments, after partaking of which,
before the guests separated, the president gave " The
Health of her Majesty the Queen," and " The Health of
his Orace the Duke of Leinster and the other Visitors,"
which were drunk in full bumpers. His Grace briefy
responded to the latter toast, and then gave " The Health
of the President," to which Dr. Henry replied ; and thus
terminated the first triennial visitation of Queen's College,
Belfast.

DEATH OF A FEMALR FROM FlRE.—Yesterday
morning while police-constable George Robinson, 231 T,
was on duty in Kensington-park at one o'clock, he
observed flames bunting from an uninhabited cabin in an
adjoining brick field, and upon reaching the spot found
three men dragging from the cabin • female enveloped in
Are, which towered over her heed. Aided by the men, the
police-constable pulled the poor creature on the grass, and
rolled her upon it until the flames were extinguished ; after
which the constable removal her in • cab to the hospital,
where, although she had the most prompt surgical aid, she
died soon after admission, Just before her death she
declared that the men were wholly blameless, which was
all she could say. Upon deceased being put in the cab the
men made off, and have not since been heard of. Upon
further inquiry it was ascertained the deceend came from
Deptford, whither the police went to make inquiries con-
cerning her, and there found her mother, who informed
them that her name was Mary Abbot, that her age was 22,
and that • week ago she suddenly disappeared without the
knowledge of her friends. The coroner has issued his war-
rant for an inquest, which will, it is hoped, unravel the
motes.), in which deoseoed'o des* is enveloped..
