PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. R. MIL-
mAN.—We understand that a number of the I*ml:ire inha-
bitants of Great Marlow, desirous of marking their erteein
fur the Rev. R. Millman, and their appreciation of his
real and of the many important services he has rendered
this pariah, have called upon the churchwardens to con-
vene *meeting for the purpose of determining upon pre-
senting the r-,v. gentleman with a testimonial and a
suitable address on the occasion of his appointment to
the Bishopric of Calcutta. Mr. Milman will leave Rag-
land about the middle of February, and will officiate for
the last time Ils vicar of this h on Sunday, February
10. It is, we believe, to present the testimonial
and address oa Saul y, February 9. The couserration
will take place on Monday next, the 2nd inst. The rev.
gentleman will be succeeded by the Rev. J. A. Cree, ono
of the Rev. Mr. Champ ney's curates fur the past eight
years at Shen'', Upton-cum-Chalvey.—Backs Adeirfiser.
MIDLAND RAILWAY.—Thu New Mills Extension
of this company was opened yesterday. It forms part of a
new route from London to Manchester, rid Redforl, Lei-
cester, and Trent, the opening of which wan postponed
from November last, owing to some heavy slips;. The
' works on the new line were inspected on Tuesday by the
government inspector, Captem Rich, who was amonipsaied
by Mr. Needham, the linensupetedent, aud the engineer.
The gradients of the new in Derbyshire were con-
sidered favourable, 1 in 90 being the steepest incline at
each end of the Summit (Dove Holes) Tunnel. This was
oue of the heaviest works on the line, being 23 miles in
length, passing principally through limestone rock. It
was stated that the new waa 23 miles thorter than the
London and North-Western, and about n nines shorter
than the Great Northern route. The telegraphic arrange-
ments were represented to be very efficient. At present
the Midland Company are dependent on the (treat North-
ern between Machin and London for access to their
Leicester and Ritchie Extension line. _

MORALITY IN SPAIN.—Mr. Grant D•ltr re-
marks that " Spain retains less of the real 9.;rit of
I'hriatianity than any other country." Taking morality
to be the essence of Christianity, he might have Kai.' that
the immorality of the Spaniard, more especially one par-
ticular tone of immorality, among the upper and lower
classes of society, and of the priests, is far beyond that of
any other European country. As one slight testimony of
this, we may bring the sorrowful but solemn acknow-
ledgment of the archbishop of one of the largest provinces
in Spain. that he only knew of two priests in his whole
diocese besides himself who led decently chaste lives!
While it is also worthy of note that no country in Europe,
we believe, can show so enormous a proportion of found-
lings and foundling hospitals.—Cornhill Maya:ine foe
February.
