church still morelforbids every man to co-operate in the
maintenance of an institution which is dangerous to faith
and morals. 'The law of the church forbids these things
just as it forbids drunkenness, theft, debauchery,
lying, and perjury. But it does not guard the
ordinary precepts of the decalogue with batteries
of excommunication. It simply puts up a warn-
ing of Hell-fire, and leaves every man to take his own
course. If he chooses to be a profligate, the way is open,
and there is no toll. Ile has full liberty to tread the prim-

The same organ, which throughout the whole of
the religious excitement that has been convulsing
the public mind has used every effort to urge both
paz ies to extremes, expresses great apprehensions
lest the Titles Bill should not be carried into vigo-
rous operation as soon as it shall have become law.
It rejoices, however, that
Whether the bishops will break the law or not is fortu-
nately not a matter of speculation. The English will have
to break it every day of their lives. A bishop will not be
able to say mass in a garret or cellar without breaking it.
Ile cannot dress himself but in violation of the law. The
ring on his finger is in defiance of the whips and their legis-
lation. And his walking abroad to take the air will be in
contempt of the British Queen and her blaspheming par-
liament. Luckily, in England, matters must come to •
crisis. The bishops, and the archbishops at their head,
must perform their public functions; the archiepiscopal
cross and the bishop's staff will be in each future proces-
sion a direct outrage on the British people . . . Here
is en opportunity for schism, for heresy, for every evil
work, graciously afforded us by the whips ! but here is also
—through courage, through wilful and deliberate break-
ing of the law—an opportunity of converting, perhaps, all
England, and of winning the confessor's palm—if not the
martyr's crown.
In the case of Mr. M. Burke against the Earl of
Clarendon for libel the general plea of " not guilty"
was entered this afternoon, at the latest moment for
pleading to the plaintiff's declaration. I understand
that proceedings have also been commenced by Mr.
Burke against the Tablet, in which paper the sup-
letter to Lord Shrewsbury, containing the al-
legediied libel, was first published, and that Mr. Lucas,
the proprietor, has entered an appearance in due

The mining share market wears an improving is
appearance ; for though during thg early part of the
week some dulness was appareist, a better feeling 30 1
has since set in, and prices arc now firmer, with the Plj
very favourable feature of an increased inquiry both t I
for dividend and speculative stocks. Shares occu- st.
pying a low position in the market, however, meet re
with little attention. In foreign mines there have to
been larger investments than usual, and prices have 144;
been decidedly looking up, especially for St. John to
del Reys, and Cobres. Shares in this last-named IC
mine have now reached par, upon the strength 84
of an expectation that the dividend next St.
month will be larger than that declared 34
at the corresponding period of last year. so
Reports from the mining districts continue highly
favourable ; and it may be mentioned, as an instance l•
of the vigour with which operations are being pro- an.
scented, that a considerable scarcity of men has been 51:
experienced in several quarters, in consequence of the so
great demand for this description of labour. et.

The shareholders:met on Friday at Chester, ac-
cording to adjournment. At 2 o'clock the Chairman awl
the other officials connected with the company entered the
room; and, after a short pause, he asked if the scrutineers ltj
were ready to state the result of the poll taken on the so
amendment proposed by Mr. East. Mr. S. P. Robinson, le
one of the scrutineers, was about to read a report which he SO
had drawn up, when Mr. Roy said he objected to Mr. :t
Robinson reading that report, inasmuch as the other ecruiti- 30'
neer, Mr. Nicolson, had not seen it, nor was he even con- 20
suited as to its contents. Mr. Robinson then put the report Xs
in his pocket, and observed that the majority of shorehol- la
der in the room yesterday were in favour of his amend-
ment; but, in consequence of the great number of transfers r,
which had come in within the past few days, be found him- 20
self quite unable to examine them, and, consequently could se
not give a report before Wednesday or Thursday next, et.
("Oh! oh!" and cheers.) Mr. Nicolson said that he 11
really did not see any cause for such a delay. He was of Ids
opinion that the result might be ascertained in the course of t•
a short time. The numbers as taken were, according to his
calculation, 5,500 for Mr. East's amendment, and 19,5-38 in
support of the directors, and of the agreement with the
Gnat Western .Company. The Chairman said that these 101
Orsejeernemcnts could really end in no good result.
sell went on with adjournment on adjournment they
would not terminate the business in one, or even two ""!
months. Ido therefore think that Mr. Robinson should be io
prepared to deliver his report on Tuesday, and that he will
now say so. Mr. W. O. Thompson protested against the
chairman limiting their scrutineer to time He should W
have every opportunity afforded him to examine the whole
of the vows with great cure. Mr. Rawson, of Manchester, '
thought it was injudicious to limit Mr. Robinson. lie was 22
of opinion that he should have full time, and that as this
was the first scrutiny which had taken place in con- 15
nexion with this matter, it was the more desirable it should
not be hastily done, but full and complete in every respect,
so that no complaints could be made on a future occasion. 30
Mr. Tres or said, he thought it would be desirable if the is
meeting adjourned for 12 months. At the end of that 141
time Mr. Robinson and his friends would surely be pref 0
pared. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Mr. Robinson said 12ii
that he was most anxious to complete his laborious task, and 901
he would endeavour to get over it as fast as possible. At 20
the same time, the registry should be regularly scrutinised, !
so as to prevent trouble on a future occasion. He there- 50
fore did not think he could be ready before Thursday. He
would, if he could on Wednesday. Ultimately it nu
agreed to adjourn the meeting until Wednesday next, at
2 o'clock.
After the meeting of the company adjourned, a meeting
of independent shareholders was held—Mr G. 'Thomason
in the chair. The Chairman said that he had received a
letter from the secretary of the London and North-Western
Company, stating that there was every prospect that the
proposal for a guarantee of el per cent. would be favourably
received by the board. Resolutions were passed to the e -
feet that the terms now under the consideration of the
London and North Western Company were such as would
insure a fixed dividend higher than would ever accue from
the Great Western proposal, and also be more advantageous,
as such dividend would commence from the Ist of July next,
instead of being postponed for some years ; calling on their
brother shareholders to join them in protecting their
property ; and in the event of the proposal being acceded
to by the London and North Western Company, the chair-
man be requested to urge the immediate co-operation of
the shareholder, and to take such further steps as might
be necessary for securing the same.

In the case of Mr. Williams, of the 12th Lancers,
whose case has excited a good deal of interest, the
Court of Queen's Bench this day decided that the
writ upon which he was arrested might be amended
by substituting the right name of "Arthur Wellesley
Williams" for " Charles," &e.

The accounts of the progress of the crops continue
to be of a very gratifying character. There has been,
a great deal of rain throughout the country, but its
effects appear to have been everywhere most bene-
ficial. The grain crops are bursting into car, and the
harvest prospects arc, on the whole, most encou-
raging-
