MISS BURDETT COUTTS IN CARLISLE.

Yoder Jay Mee Burdett Coutta laid the founda-
tion stoma of a new church in Carlisle, to be called
Stephen's Church, and to be erected entirely it her own
cost.
Mies COurre, on coming forward to address the amen..
blame was loudly applauded. She said she could scarcely
exprem the gratification she felt at the kind welcome ahe
bad received from all present—a welcome which was so
flatteringly embodied is the addressee jest presented to
her. Every circumstance in connezios with the work
which they were now assembled to carry out had been of
peculiar interest to her. She first heard of the needs of the
diocese from the pastoral letter of the bishop, in which he
Mated in touching words, and with great earnestness, what
were the special requirements of this ancient border city of
Carlisle. It was also a pleasant coincidence that tLe
design she had selected as most suitable for the church wad
the production of a young Carlisle townsman. She was
gratified at receiving an invitation to be present and
take part in the ceremony—always beautiful and solemn
—of laying the first stows of a sacred edifies ; but she held
it to be more peculiarly gratifying at a time of peculiar in.
tenet, sad amidst a population who had given many prac-
tical instances of patience, piety, and devotion. Those
ironed her knew mach better than she did all that
had been passed through by the operatives in the north of
England during a severe lesson of mercantile distress ; bat
she was herself well aware of the patience and submission
with which the crisis had been met, the cheerfulness with
which all classes had come forward to alleviate the difficulty.
She hoped in the house of player they were about to erect,
they should have practically carried out the tent so ap-
propriately selected by the dean that morning, in their
bean ally teetered cathedral :—"Daily in the temple and
in every house they ceased not to teach and mach hens
Christ."
_ . . .

w A farm of prayer, prepared for the occasion, having been
reed, Miss Coatis. adjusted the etare in the usual form,
and said : " In the faith of Jesus Christ, I lay this fooncia-
tic° atom of a church to be called by the name of his Mooed
martyr, St. Morphia, and to be for ever dedicated to the
genic, of God the Father, God the Son, sad God the Holy
Ghost. Amen."
Mies ooutte was afterwards entertained at luncheon at
the County Hotel. Th. Bishop of Carlisle presided.

SALE OF THE BISHOP OF ELY'S EFFECTS.—Yes-
terday morning Ely House, in Dover. street. Piccadilly, for
so many yearn past the Lo;don residence of the Right Rev.
Dr. Dorton, was thrown open for a sale of the effecta by
auction. Amongst those who attended was • number of
clergymen belonging to the University of Cambridge (over
which the Bishop of Ely was episcopal supervisor), who
ware anxious to obtain the pomession of some memorial of
their late friend. Part of the effects offered for ads was
the right rev. prelate's library. consisting of between 4,000
aid 5,000 volumes, and including the works of the fathers
of the church and other scarce and interesting books
on theology, critical editions of the Greek and Latin
authors, and various cleanest works, Belles Lellees, in-
eluding fine copies of the second and fourth edition,of Shake-
speare's plays, and standard works in general literature by the
most esteemed authors ; also some valuable books of prints,
Claude's " Libre Yonne's," kn. The general furniture
sold was of a very gelid character. Though his lordship
scarcely ern took wine, and bad an instinctive dread of
visitors, and even sometimes of meeting his own clergy, there
was amongst his effects a small cellar of choice IVIDSII, in-
cluding fine old port, sherry, Madeira, and claret, with tea
barrels of home-brewed ale. His lordship's pictures were not
sold yesterday, and it is believed that they have been other-
wise disposed of. To one of his pictures be was much at-
tacked, and wh be travelled from Ely to London, or
from London to Ely, he hadlit placed with him in hiscarnsge.
The male will probably extend to Friday.
Dz. PUSHY AND Psorasson JORETT.—Dr. Pusey
writes to the Times :—" I have bees requested to state
publicly that my own convictions are not altered in regard
to the statute for the endowment of Professor Jowett,
which I concurred in bringing before the university. Con-
taining as that statute does an *sprees proviso that, 'the
university is not to be thought to have weed any judgment
as to his writings, so far se they have treated of the
catholic faith,' I still believe that is an eremites which
cannot be fairly interpreted as any expression at in-
difference as to matters of faith on the part of the *lnver-
sity, and, this being se, that it is for the peace of the
university and right to pass it. Is it has been more or
Is widely staled that I have changed my onions, it seems
to simple matter of honesty to make this statement."
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION HIGH-
OATIL —Ou Tuesday evening an interesting and elogeent
Irbil», entitled
Some NOtiOIS ass Auciest Syria," was
given in the theatre of the above institution, by Lord
Dufferin. The lecture commenced at 8 o'clock, and so
great was the desire to hear his lordship, that long before
that hour the room was crowded to eater, many persons
emanating themselves with standing on the stairs, while
others were obliged to go away being unable to obtain
admission. The lecturer was frequently and loudly
applauded.
ANOTHS3. PUBLIC PARE FOR MANCHESTER.-
About twenty years ago, in more prosperous times,
about • thousand of the wealthier dames of Man-
chester and Salford subscribed 36,0001., Ia sums of
LOOOl. down to 50. each, for the purchase of people's
parks, sad the money was expended in three plots of
Lad, which were convened to the use of the inhabitants
is yobbo perks. One of these perks was in Salford, and is
celled Peel Park, the property and charge of keeping it in
order beteg vested in the Salford oorp.eratiost The other
two, called the Quote's Perk and Philip's Park, were vested
in the Manchester corporation on similar conditions. The
sites of these parks are to the north-west, north, and east
of the city, and in the neighbourhoods thee chiefly popu-
lated by the working classes. Since that time the city has
chiefly extended towards the south-west, and recently an
agitation has sprung up with a view of obtaining • park in
that direction. Yesterday the question was formally
brought under the consideration of the city council,
and Mr. Councillor Marshall moved that a sum of 30,0001. be
borrowed from the Public Works Loan Commiesneen. oa

the security of the corporation, to patellae, land for making
such • park, the mosey to be paid out of the city rates. As
amendment was made to the effect that the mosey be bor-
rowed by the corporation for purchasiog sad making a nark
for the isbabitants of the townships of Choritos sad Helm*
(the south-westerly part of the city, and having a popula-
tMat of over 120,000 people), the niooey to be repaid by and
to become a charge upon those townships ; but the interest
upon it till repaid, aad the maintenance of the park when
made, to be defrayed out of the city rates. This amend-
meet was carried. Another ameadmeet, making tie
township of Manchester share in the extreme of the park,
was Only lost by a majority of 29 to 28. The meeting seemed
to bull but unanimous that another public park was de-
sirable, and having canted a motion to that effect, another
regulation was adopted referring the matter to the Cameral
Purposes Committee, with instructions to report as to &site
sad the peautioebility of borrowing the 30.000‘.
