member of noblemen and gentlemen, being lay members of
the church of England, which is to be presented to the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, at Lambeth Palace,

knowledge with deep gratitude the pastorals lately issued

I.7NioN or CITY Bw4gricas.—A slight difficulty
ham mimeo in the union of the beeetices of All.hallowa,
Lombard-street ; St. Benet, Oraceehurch ; and St. Lemiud,
Eastchesp, but for which the Rev. C. Mackenzie, M.A.,
would most likely have been inducted into the living on
Sunday last. All the arrangements for the union bid( been
made, when it was disoovered that the formal went of
three functionaries was yet required, viz., the Archbishop
of Canterbury, the Archdeacon of the diocese, and the Se-
cretary of 'State. It is anticipated that no objection will be
raised on the par tof either of these, and that, therefore, the
discovery will simply have the effect of postponing the
matter for a short time. It will be recollected that out of
the proceeds of the sale of the site of the church to be
polled down (St. Benet, at the comer of ',anchor& and t; race.

THE NORTH AUSTRALIAN E PER /1101 i. —The fol-

ment resident of the northern territory, wee received this
morning. It announced the arrival of the espeditioa sent
out by the government of South Australia at Adam's Bay

very satisfactory report of the prospects of the new settle-

On Saturday List, Mims Martha, J nue Gledhill, toil.
lima, of Mirfield, near Dewsbury, the daughter of • widow
who owns some landed property in that village, wee brought
before • magistrate, oe remand, charged with having set
fire to a stack of wheat, the property of Mr. It. Hurst,
maltose. Tee bearing lasted nearly eight hour,. The
evidence was to the effect that Mr. limit, who is the
owner of some maltkins built on lead adjoining
Mrs. Gledhill's
rtiriraorty, claims • right of war over
so occupation which passes through one of
bee tidies, and on e 19th ult., acting under legal
advice, be set some men to work to dig up some chained
pest which opposed the free pamage of his carts, and with

daughters (the prisoner being see) were prevent during the

prisoner made nee of throne to the effect that she would
stab Mr. Horns, Itheld be reveneed upon him, and
that if she had • pistol she would shoot him. She

Lunt LYONS.—It is reported from Washirigkm
that Lord Lyoos has almost recovered from Lis recant ill-
ness. We feel sure that the whole community will reccis•
this intelligence with sincere satisfaction. It will be left
for history to record bow much the United States owed to
our own ride ister at the court of St. dames, and to the
British Minister at Weshiugton, in maintaining a fair
understanding between the two governments, daring
• 3••• which threatened on so many occasions to
bring them into actual collisbu. Combined witha large sod
varied experience of the world, the ministers who have
been the mediums of official communication between the
two countries since the opening of the war, bare 111.10 WU that
they possessed the still rarer qualifications of even
nod genii temper. Moth Lord lluuell and Lord
Derby have borne voluntary testimony to the
uniform and perfect courtesy of Mr. Adams in all
his communicatioos with the government of ber Britannic
Majesty, and we are sure that the tame teitimoey would be
borne in the case of Lord Lyons by those who have bad to
conduct official intereourne with him on thia side. We cart
only express a cordial wish that his mistion may be pro.
longed, and se satisfactory to both governments in the
future as it has been in the past.—Nrio York Tanta.

SIIAiiItSPEIRE IN BIRMINUHAIL—Wo have to
record a discovery of great interest in connexion with Eng.
land's greatest poet which has recently 1 eon made in thin
town. In the offices of Birmingham solicitors, whose
names at preaent we are not at liberty to publish,
some dozen itojortant aced., including conveyances,
gnats, leases, ac., have been discovered, relating
:o property adjoining Shakespeare's home, in Hen-
ley-street on the rest side. Thee. deeds bear dates
from 1573 to about 1660. John Shakespeare, the father of
the pJet, was preemie at the signature of several, and the
name of William Shakespeare himself is repeated a fewtimes
in some of them. The deeds are in excellent preservation
and the seals are in an unusually perfect condition. We
believe that the seal attached to some of these deeds is likely
to lead ',to some very interesting discoveries, and to throw
considerable light on our known Snakespersan rielics.—Bir-
mingliompozette.

THE BAKEHOUSES REGULATION Ac Y.—On Satur-
day evening a large meeting of journeymen bakers took
place at the Crabourne Hotel, St. Martin'e.laoe, for the
purpose of receiving the report of a deputation which had
waited upon Mr. Layatd, dl.!'., respecting the cons Lint
itdringements of the Bakehouses ileguletion Act. The
secretary said they were aware that the provisions of the
act, if carried out, were calculated to ameliorate the con-
dition of the journeyman baker ; it prevented the employ.

houses; and the appointment of inspectors to sew
those provisions were carried out. The evils which
the act was intended to prevent still existed in
tall totes throughout nearly every district in Los-
! don, owing to the watt of proper inspection. The de•
putation stated these facts to Mr. layard, who expressed
his deep regret, and said the only thing be could suggest
was that they should obtain an interview with the Home
Secretary, and lay their statement before him, and he pro-
s mised that be would write to Sir George Grey upon the
subject. This he bad does, and the Home Secretary con.
seated to receive a deputation from the operatives during
the present week, and promised that if their statements
could be proved steps should be taksa to enforce the act.
The meeting passed a resolution to the effect that it was
desirable that night-work in the trade should be abolished,
and that the hones should be from 4 am till 4 p.m.

PUBLIC BIESTINOS IN ITALY. —The Minister of
the Interior et Turin bee issued a circular to the prefects
of the kingdom on the subject of political meetings. He
states that so long as these meetings had no other object
save that of coming to the aid of the wounded and their
families during the late dine:bailees in the province of
Friuli, the government, respecting the right of meeting,
could not intervene; but that w it now becomes apparent
that extreme parties are taking advantage of the :movement
to collect kinds for the purchase of arms and ammunition
in order to invade Venetia, the minister feels it his duty to
prohibit these meetings in future, if the said object be
openly avowed. if convened for other purposes, they are
to be immediately dissolved if speeches of a revolutionary
tendency be delivered in them, or it resolutions be passed
leading to an open violation of international law.
A Gitavt QUESTION.—The Civil Tribunal of
Lyons has jut given judgment in a suit of a most extra.
ordinary kind. A M. commenced proceeding.
against his son's widow, who has recently re-married, to
recover the body of hie son, ink rred in the tomb of his
wife's family. The tribunal rejected the demand, on the
ground that the survivor of a menial couple has a legal
right to select • place of interment for his or her deceased
consort, and that this right can only be set raids for serious
reseans, which did tot exist in the present coot.
What occupies the mind of the politicians most
is the question of annexation of Centel America to the
Mexican empire. Although there may be a party who, for
materiel causes, or on account of political predilections,
would favour such a scheme, it cannot be doubted that the
majority of the people are against it, and that the ipsertions
of those who accueed the governments of Guatemala. Sal-
vador, and Nicaragua of anti-republican designs, were an.
founded.—Pa numo Stpar.

TlisoralcsL AISDIENCL4.--GroSS vulgarities of
feeling and perverted taste are still be found *moos our
audiences; atimogst which the custom (imported front
abroad) of calling out the performers between each act to
be applauded, and to smile and bow and peck up bouquets,
may be mentioned as ow of the worst. It is an latency,.
tion to the development of the drama, to the illusion of the
hour, to the sensibthties it has stirred, to the influence of
the post, and the action of tire piece ; it is an ertirguisber
clapped at intervals upon the light that should glow on with
growing intensity, sad each renewal after each quenching
requires a fresh effort ; it is an alteration of the relation
that should subsist between performer and spectator
throughout the play, and places the player in an inferior
position, magnifying that chief blot upon his calling, which

effect in each separate wens. In this way the player can-
mot be absorbed in his simulated feelings ; his own Pull.
