A correspondent of the Church Review writes :
"It will be a satisfaction to all those churchmen who faith-
fully maiotained their principles to know that the primate
says, in a letter now before me, ' I here never claimed to
myself the power of dispensing with the general observance
of Lent on the 10th of March.' " The editor of the same
paper states that the archbishop, in reply to inquiries from
some of the clergy of his province, has declared, " that
not only did he grant no dispensation for setting aside the
Lenten fast on the occasion of the royal marriage, but that
be has so power whatever to do so. It rests with the
Bishop of Orford, therefore, to justify the communication
to the contrary which was made to his archdeacons."

The Chorine ri the other day represented some
Greeks in ambush behind a wall, and put into their mouths
these words :—" So mach the worse for him !—the first who
parses we will make king !"
The Nationalittli states that an amnesty will
shortly be published in favour of those =Beers and men of
the Italian army who were found among the Garibahlisas at
Aspromonte.
RIPIIIMILNTATION 07 NORTE LANCABEIIII. —Lord
Hartington having accepted the office of one of the
Lords of the Admiralty, his seat for North Laneuhire
becomes vacant. His lordship offers himself for re-else-
Mon to an oddness, in which he says :—" Whde I have had
a seat in the Hon= of Commons, I have given • general
support to her Majesty's government, whose policy, both
domestic and foreign, has, I believe, deserved and obtained
your approval, and that of the country. I trust, there-
fore, that in accepting office, I shall not luse any
portion of the confidence which you have hitherto placed
to me. I deeply regret to fiad, after a somewhat loft
absence from home, that the dlatrese is the manufatt-
turing districts has assumed even larger proportions than
was anticipated. The liberality of Lancashire and of
the country generally has done much to mitigate the
suffering of the people • and their 000 duct under those
sufferings has bees such' as to suite universal sympathy.
I cordially assisted last session in the promotion of mea-
surer for the mitigation of the distress, and I shall eon-
tiotte, if you do me the =sear to reulect me, to give wity
bent atteution to any proposal which may be brought for-
ward having for its object the alleviation of present suf-
fering, or the ultimate restoration of prosperity to Lanca-
shire. With referenoe to the unfortunate condition of
affairs in America, I warmly support the policy of the
government in msioteining the strictest neutrality
while I hope the time may come when they may be able
to use their good offices is bringing about a termination
of the war. On subject' of domestic policy I have se=
no reason to change the opinions which I have formerly
expressed, and I believe that they are so well known to
you that I need not now enter into an explanation of
them.'
