MR. 0141)82.0.1111 AND HIS 33L1010(18

OPINIONS.

Mr. H. Sharrock, of OrmakuTh , szeleetorof South
Lancashire, has pith:imbed the following oorrespondenoe
with Mr. W. E. Gladstone, Y.P. :
Ormairk April 6, 1868.-81er—I trust you will pardon
I the liberty talcs in making a moment's attention to the
ocattent• of the enclosed slip out from • local paper. I
have no difficulty myself in seethe through so malignant a
trap , but unfortunately there are too many ready
to take up e weapons suggested by the premier's recant
letter, and under the instigation of Orange bigotry and
political animosity to use them in the most reckless
manner. The ideas insinuated by this anonymous corre-
spondent of the London Standard are being seized and
disseminated &menet your oonstituenta with • view to
creating • prejudice that may operate with disadvantage
to your future claims on their suffrages. If tir se charges
be not too gross to merit your notice, I should be glad,
in the interest of your future supporters, and as an ardent
admirer of your great talents and eminent serrioes, to the
them at ones dissipated by one stroke of your pen. —I I
have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant,
MUM fituratocc. To the Right Hon W. E. Gladstone.
The following is from the Londe. Standard :

THI ASSAILANTS 01 TIM LUSH CHURCH —To the Editor
fitr,—Haviag, as you know, been conceded with the Ultramon-
Lane body for several years, and being with
with many
of Its secrets, I feel It my duty, new that Mr. Gladstone U about
to make an attack upon the protestant church of Ragland, to
let his followers know that when he went to Rome he made
arrangements with his Bonne's the Pope to destroy the Irish
church, and ultimately to make the catholic church the state
church for Ireland. tither arrangements were also made for a
catholic university, and farther favours for the catholic.; in
Zd. question Is, why has Mr. Gladstone done the??
It is answered, for he is hinmelf a catholic at heart: all
his near and dearest friends are of the lame persuasion, =doyen
some of his own family, as can easily be proved by reading the
advertisements of lotteries In the catholic Journals, where the
name will appear among the patronesses. The " Weekly
Register," I believe, was the AM crisyhat said the catholic
church was about to redly* a d ished convert. That
per having much influence with the ought to know. I
have no doubt if the editor were allowed to speak he would say
the same as Ido who It Is. I ask Mr. Gladstone can he deep
but what I have stated LB the troth? Let the question be put to
him on Monday night, so that all protestants may know the
truth.—l am, air,—Osit WHO HIGHT TO KNOW.

Hawarden, April 7, 1868.—Sir,--I beg to thank you for
your communication inclosing a scandalous letter which
purports to he extracted from the London Standard. I
am truly sorry if any journal has been found ready to dis-
honour itself by becoming responsible for the publication
of each a letter. So far as it concerns me, there is not
one word of truth in it from the beginning to the end. If
you think it has caused uneasiness in Lancashire, perhaps
you will be good enough to send to any of the local
journals this contradiction.—l remain, sir, your faithful
servant, W. E. GLADSTONE. To Mr. H. Shirrock.

DR.
.LIVINGSTONE.7T)IO. T,•aiunaal Argue of

January het publishes the following interesting intelli-
gence on the authority of Captain J. Fenwiek Wilkinson:—
`• The captain informs us thathe has just arrived from
Mexico, where he bad seen Mr. Marthinus Swarta, an
elephant hunter, well known in this Republic, and who
had just returned from one of his annual shooting excur-
sions in the interior, near the Zambesi. That whilst,
engaged in hunting ►t a certain point above the Victoria
Falls, in the month of July last, he bad spoken to a
number of natives, who informed him that they had
acted as guides to Dr. Livingstone, whom they praised
highly, and who, they stated, had dismissed them at
the Chief Retanga, giving them at the same time
various presents. These natives bad come a distance of
twenty days' journey on foot from Central Africa, to
where Mr. M. S warts met them, viz., at some distance
above the Victoria Falls, as already stated. The doctor
was well at the time they left, and no attempt bad been
made on his life; on the contrary, be was exceedingly
popular, and was everywhere well received. From what
these guides stated to Mr. Swart., it appears that the
doctor had explored some very large river, cad was about
retracing his steps when they left him. Cepopo is the
name of a chief the ' other side ' of Retangs, whom they
stated the doctor h►d visited. We have no reason to

doubt the truth of this information ;on the contrary we A Mr. Collins and his wife have muds the Over-
