DR. murmurs IN CANADA.

We read in the Toronto Leader the following
the reverend seducer, who abandoned his wife
at Cheltenham, sad ran away from his creditors
to Canada:
"When the doctor arrived here he made application to a
gentleman high in position in the educational institutions of
the coetarry for a tembership, bat none ma vacant; and
whether the person applied to had been previously ace.
quantal with the doctor or not we are not aware, but after
some coevenation between them, the whole story of Dr.
Ham e flight end his seduction of a creditor's wife was
re.seld. A correspondence ensued, in which the lady
(Mrs. Cummings), took part, declarlig, in a true romantic
spirit, her enticement to her new • affinity,' and relating in
tender strains the many sad and heartrending days she had
spent before her wisher in this respect were consummated.
She loved him, she 2/Sneed, so she had never loved another,
and nothieg bat death should part them.
On Thursday morning last, Sergeant-Major Ferris, who
had also been employed in watching the parties implicated
in this affair, having retrace to believe they would visit ths
normal mama daring the day, to witness the modelechool ma-
intentions, scoompenied by two or three pigeons, came with
Mt. Cock, a cousin of Mrs. Cummings, who arrived here from
England not miry days since; the latter took the precaution
to retire into a private roam in the building, tat be might be
Mtn by Humphreys. But the eargeentrinejor took his
station new the main eatrance to the building, with a
photograph likeness of the reverend delinquent in hie
hand, and waited there till nearly 3 o'clock in the otter-
nooa, when he descried a personage answering the descrip-
tion In the likened enter the ground. Dr. Hum-
phroye, for it wee ha, walked into the building, and,
having looked around a little, took his mat quite com-
fortably in the theatre, where the prizes were be:ng distri-
buted. Sergrentellajor Ferris then communicated "jib Mr.
Cock and the other parties in waiting, and two of them went
forwent into the theatre et once, and served Humphreys with
citations from the High Court of Divorce, England. Hum-
phreys' dismay at this unexpected turn of affairs may. be
more easily imagined than described. There was nothing
for it, however but to submit; and as soon
as he recovered
his equanimity, he left the building with the parties coming
in search of him, end proceeded with them to his lodgings,
Mutual-street, where be occupies two rooms. Here the lady
was confronted with her paramour by Mr. Cock, her relative,
and was also se cod with a citation from the English Divorce
Court.
_ . .

In the course of the same evening the man watch tag Hum-
phreys and Mrs. Cummings sew them take a cab and drive
to the Raisin Home. Fearing they proposed leaving town,
sergeant-Major Ferris was requested to follow them in
another cab, and ha did so. They drove round the suburbs
of the city for about an hour and a half, followed at • cau-
tious distance by the sergeant-malor, but ultimately re-
turned to their present lodgings, Mutual-street, without
making any 'teenage to amp.
" Mr. Cock Inee,it is mid, had several interviews with
Mrs. CUOII3IIII,S, to order to induce her to return to her
friends in England and leave her seducer. But her deter-
initiation is said to be tiled, that nothing shall induce her to
return t t them again.
"The story goes that some portion of the church-ping
public in this city had quite a narrow escape from hearing the
rev. runaway dm:own horn the pulpit.'

As one of the latest ultramontane objections
against the national system of adoration in Ireland—The
Nation complains that the pupils are taught to describe
themselves as " English" children' " The schools which
taught each Ines youth to bless God for making a
happy English child,' would soon achieve that milMalum cif
British history, Irelacd denationalised!"
