THE BRompraff ORATORY AND ITS
MATZRTS.

The following letter, in reference to the case
whieh has measly attracted so much attention, was ad.
dressed by the Rev. J. H. Harrison to the Rev. J. Bowden,
who returned no answer to it :

" Bugbrooke Rectory, June 27, 11361.
" Rev. Sir,—Before I finally decide what steps to take
with regard to ray win Herbert ■ most extriordiaary k Owen
at orabout 9 o'clock at night, as &today, March 3, I consider
it right to lay the cane before you (for you certainly took •
most prominent pert in the matter), and ask whether the
information I have received of your conduct is substantially
true mod omelet

" I believe I may take it for granted that you had never
men or spoken to my eon before that day, when you were
introduced to him by Mr. G. ießeckett, ostensibly for the
purpose of showing him and another friend over the

needless for me to notice, except in the most cur-
tory manner, your great end assiduous civility to a mere I
school-boy and a stranger, how you showed the chapels,
the gaudy robes and their uses, the library, your crucifix,
your relics, and, amongst them, a piece of the true cross.
But I particularly wish to ark you what rightyou had,
under the pretence of showing my eon the =flits of your
establishment. to question him about his rreligious prin.
ciplee ! By what code of honour or morality di you pre-
sume to tamper with his faith, my authority as a father
having been delegated for the time then present to the
master of Westminster school, and to no one else
" I wish also to oak what right you had to invite my son
to take tea with you the same evening after service!
Knowing, as you must have done, of his precious engage-
ment, was it not a manifest breach of good manners cm
your part to persuade him to violate it I How, too, could
e in become accept your invitation! When he asked his
master's permission to spend the day at Mrs. a Beckett's,
did he not make an implied promise to spend it nowhere
else! Was it becoming or honourable in you, as a clergy-
man sad a gentleman, to invite him to break his word!
" I sow send you, as nearly as possible in his own words,
my eon's atatemeut of the way in which he spent his last
hour at the oratory on that night, and chiefly in your
room. It is graphic, and most strongly bears on its face
the imprees of troth :—' It was more than half-put eight
whew theibeisediction ended, and Father Bowden (who, when
he had finished his sermon, had come and knelt in the body
el the chapel within three chairs of me), took me imme-
diately to his room to drink tea with him, at the Name time
say brotker weir to Mr. Faber's room. When we got to
Father Bowdee's room he struck a light, lighted the fire,
sad put his kettle on to boil. A servant brought in the
tea tray and some sandwiches. Whilst the kettle was boil-
big we talked a little, and then 1 confessed. bather Bow-
den placed his crucifix on the table, and sat down in the face
of it. Having pointed to me when I was to kneel, he said,
"Of course I cant expect that you should remember all
your sins very accurately, but mention whatever you have
most on your Mind!" Mr rogation lasted about tee
minutes. Feeling very exhausted and my head aching, I
went and laid down on the sofa Father Bowden Gen
said to ,or, " I shall not baptiee you now, you must write to
your father first." He thee went out of the room. He was
&beset about five minutes, mad when be came back he said,
" I Aare born commit* with the father, and he wishes me to
ask you whether your father, wheat be hears what has hap-
,
will, bylaw or by force,force,prevent your being baptised."

MONEY abiRKET.—(TEIS D 41%)

Two o'OLocz.

The stock and share markets are rather quieter
to-day, but quotations in most instances are well
maintained. Consols exhibit • fractional de-
cline for the account. English railway
securities are steady. There is not much activity
in foreign stocks, but the variations in prices have
nearly all been in a favourable direction. The
inquiry is principally for Greek Bonds and Coupons.
The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not yet come to hand.

Consols are now quoted 931 to 4, both for money
and the account (9th Sept.). The official business',
report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Console, for I
money, 931,1 ; ditto, for account, 934 ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 931, ; New Three per Ceuta.,
93/, f, 3; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1081; ditto
Bonds, 16s. prem. ; Exchequer Bills, March, L.
dia. ; ditto June, 2s. prem.
The foreign stock market is firm, and quotations
generally exhibit a favourable tendency. Speculative
attention is chiefly directed to Greek Bonds and
Coupons, which are in good demand ; the former
have risen 4 per cent., and the latter I. Chilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., Portuguese, Russian,
Spanish, and Venezuelan securities are also
firmer. Consolidtts have improved 1 per
cent. Mexican Bonds are rather flatter.
Subjoined are some of the present quotations,
viz.:-Turkish, 1854, 931 to 941 ; ditto, 1858, 721
to 73 ; ditto, 1862, 694 to 701; ditto Consolidels,
152 to ; Venezuelan, 1862, 58 to 4 ; Spanish
Passive, 341 to 1 ; Danish, 91 to 92 ; Greek, 361
Ito 1 ; Mexican, 39 to ; and Peruvian, 87 to 88.
ITransactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., 1024 ; ditto, 1843, 1001 ;
Cbilian Four-and-a-Half par Ceuta., 88, 871 ;
Dutch Certificates, 1021 ; Greek, for account,

count, 394, f, 39 ; Portuguese, 1856, 1857,
