BARNET FAIR.—(Tula DAY.)—The fair was re-
sumed this morning for the sale of horses, Ise., but the
fields presented a miserable aspect and the attendance was
smalL The victualling booths are drenched, and show-
men and stall keepers are without any business.
Dear: STANLEY AT KIRKCALDY. —The Dean of
Westmirster, who, with Lady Augusta Stanley, is is;
present on a visit to Mr. Oswald, of l)unuikier, preached
ou Sunday morning his St. Peter's Episcopal Chapel, glin-
burgh. Although it was not generally known that the ,Lan
was to official; there was a largecongregation, including
many from the other churches in town, anxious, no doubt,
to hear this distinguished ornament of the "Broad
Church " party. From the words in St. Luke, "Today
shalt thou be with me in paradise," he preached asliscourso
remarkable fur an almost touching simplicity of language
and catholicity of thought. It was simple as a nursery
story, and contained no theology, in the Scotch seine,
whatever. Yet we fancy the most rigid low churchman
present must have admitted that its Christian tone, phra-
seology, and impressiveness of delivery were alike admit.-
nide, and not unworthy of the biographer of Dr. Arnold.—
Me. BEALEs AND TUE WoRKIND MEN'S AS:NO(IJ%,
TION.—The weekly meeting of the members of the London
Working Men's Association was held last night at the
Brougham-hall, Fleet-street, Mr. Upshall in the chair.
The secretary said he had forwarded to Mr. Beale, t.to
resolution of sympathy adopted at the last meeting in
connexion with the removal of that gentleman from the
office of revising banister for Middlesex, on account of his
political opinions, and bad received the following letter in
reply :" 4, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's-inn, &pt. 1•66.
Dear stir, —I beg you will express to the London Working
Men's Association my grateful sense of the resolution
which they were kiud enough to adopt in relation to my
displacement from the office of revising barrister fur
Middlesex, and which you have forwarded to Inc. I
accept myl position as not altogether unexpecbsl,
though I must consider a wholly unmerited result of
the course I have pursued in advocating the full political
rights of the people, without reference to party, I felt that
I was incurring a risk, and thnt in all probability the
whole array of conventional and professional etiquette
would rise up in arms against me ; but I have always been
accustomed to obey the impulses of conscience and duty
regardless of conswiuences, looking to a higher tribunal
than that of man. The daily expressed sympathy of
thousands of my fellow countrymen, in addition to tint of
the London Working Men's Association, whilst it affords
me the most precious of all earthly consolation, also fur-
nishes me Meth the best of all testimony that I have
judged and acted rightly.—Faithfully yours, Epsom.)

SVICIDE OF A CLEROYMIN.--Great excitement,
says the South Eastern Ado:ate, was extmed in Rye and
the neighbourhood on Friday evening by the report that
the Rev. Thomas Nightingale, formerly rector of St.
ment's, Hastings, and recently curate of Lieu, hod been
found dead in Lis room, with his face and fearfully
mangled, and his brains scattered all over the mom. A
recently discharged pistol was found lying by his side. It
appears that the deceased bad been into the town in
the afternoon, and on his way home had conversation with
the Rev. T. Lewis, curate of Rye, and the Rev. L. Robin-
son, curate of Playdon. On arriving at the top of the
hill he went to the Rye Union-house and lad' conversation
with Mr. Tails at the porter's lodge, and went over the
house. He waaexceedinglyplawantandcheerfulandnothing
transpired which would lead to the supposition that the de-
ceased contemplated suicide. Between a and 6 o'clock he
returned to his apartments at PLlalon-cottage and went to
his sitting-room. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Austen, the oc-
cupier of the house, heard the report of a pistol, but took
no notice of it,as the deceased was accustomed to use a pair
of pistols which were in the room for the purpose of shoot-
ing small birds from the window of tine sitting-room. About
ten minutes before 6 she proceeded to the room to lay the
cloth for dinner. She knocked, but received no answer. She
entered, and noticing deceased lying on the hearth-rug in
front of the fireplace, she said, " Are you ill, sir?"
At the same moment, looking at him, she perceived
the blood flowing, and a horrible scene presented
itself, causing her to shriek and will for im-
mediate help. A young man named Ellis was in
she garden, and was soon on the spot, and as quickly as
Possible medical aid was called in ; but deceased had be..n
dead for some time. Mr. Banks was soon in atteudanoe,
as were also Messrs. Adamson and Soo, and it was then dis-
covered that a pistol lying by the side of the deceased had
recently been discharged, the contents entering his head.
The vicar of Rye, the Rev. J. L Bates, and other friends,
were soon at the cottage. No letter can be found which
would indicate that he contemplated suicide, and as far as
nothing can be found that for a moment would.
letters and other matters of important consideration are
concerned,
lead to the sup.poution that it was a premeditated act. A
very singular circumstance is that the pi4ol by which the
deceased came by his death is the one used by Mr. Stu*, of
Winchelsea, who committed suicide by shooting himself
at a place called the Half-moon battery, between Bye :Ind
Winchelsea, nearly thirty years ago.
