THE SCYNR Tx LOMBARD-dTRIENT.

The Tin r. has es little sympathy as anyone can pos-
sibly have with the eccentricities and doctrines of Mr.
Lyne, but for this vary reason it would never
dream of persecuting him. But for this persocu-
tien how many people, it would like to know. would
ever have even known or cared whether ho
was preaching in Lombard-street, it for the next
tea years he had gone on comparing it to every den of
thieves in history, ancient or modern I* Now all London
is agog to have a stare at him. Last Friday his church
was filled to overflowing, and if be is allowed to preach
next Friday, Lombard-street will not hold his congrega-
tion. All his friends, too, however lukewarm hitherto,
are now rallying round him as a martyr, and even our
Genies consider him an ill-used man. If his protestant
encoded can only succeed in upsetting his cab or smashing
his hat, ha is a made martyr for life,—perhatei at last,
after so many failures, the founder of a sect.

in its weekly review of "Trade and Finance.- the
Daily News comments regretfully on the fact that as yet
there are no symptoms of a revival of public confidence
and no disposition to embark in British enterprise. The
bllfeelin of the late foreign railway loans has, it sar,
caused no corresponding demand for new investments at
home, and while money is abundant there is no outlet for
its satisfactory employment. One formidable drawback
to a revival is the continued tension of political affairs on
the Continent. Glancing at the official communica-
tions lately made by the ministers of the French
Court to the Syndic of the ;Bourse, with the view
of reassuring the dealers and the public, the Daily News
observes that the chairman of the Stock Exchange would
be considerably surprised to receive a collective note from
Lord Stanley. Mr. W. Hunt, and Mr. O. Hardy, to say
that in their opinion the remarks meant nothing, coupled
with a request to placard the note in the house ; adding
that an ostentatious avowal of confidence in the
mend. nance of peace has come to be considered in Eng-
land rather more alarming than a warlike manifesto.
The misery caused by the commercial convulsions of 1817
and 1847 was noon forgotten ; but now, for more than two
years. week by week and month by mouth the same leaden
weight has been paralysing the sources of industry and
enterprise. A change may, however, be looked for, seeing
that public affairs have arrived ut a looilie when vine de-
cisive step must be take*.

Mr. Kinitchbull-llngeksen writes to tho //erabi:
—'• My attention bus been called to an article in your yes.
tenlay's impression justly condemning a most abominable
circular which has recently appeared m this borough re-
flecting upon the religion of Mr. Henry Worms. In jos.
tice to myself and Mr. Brassey, a• well as to the
borough, I ask you to insert our indignant protest against
this shameful production. It is not correct to say that it
is ' being circulated in the borough of Sandwich by the
liberal opponent. of Mr. Worms.' So far as we can
discover, the ' circular' came in envelopes from London,
bas been received by very few of the electors, and is
utterly repudiated by the liberals here. Nothing can be
further from our desire than to excite religious prejudice
against our opponent, nor do I believe that this produc-
tion emanated from any supporter or well-wisher to Mr.
Brassey or myself."

" Brother Ignatius" preached again last evening
in the small church of St. Edmund the King and Martyr
with St. Nicholas Aeons, in Lombard-street. There was
a larger attendance than the place would hold, and the
crowd outside numbered at least half the hoteliers who
found seats or standing room within. A contemporary
says :—" In Mr. Spurgeon's customary vein, but without
any approach to Mr. Spurgeon's ability, he preached as it
he had been preaching to a congregation of children at a
Sunday school. It was a sucoeesion of that flippant home-
line's of imagery which is painful. Well may Mr. Lyne
suppose that the understanding has little or nothing to
do with religion, if be talks always on religious topic as
he talked tart night."

The Bishop of Norwich has presented 1,0001. to
a fund which is being raised for the erection of a new
church in the ostensive and populous suburb of Higham,
Norwich. Nine years since another church was erected
in the same suburb, and the bishop then contributed JOW.
to the establishment fund.

THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF TUE NATIONAL BANK.
—We learn by a note from our correspondent, as well as
by telegraph message, that Sir Joseph Neale M•kenna has
resigned hie position in the National Bank as managing
director. The ordinary telegram informs us that the direc-
tors of the bank have paired a resolution that the manag-
ing director must not be identified with politics or hold a
seat in parliament, and Sir Joseph has acquiesced in the
resolution ; but, confident of success at Youffhal, he in-
tends to contest tho representation of the borough,
resigning the managing directorship and a salary of
4,2004 a year, but still giving to the bank his services as
an ordinary member of the court of directors.—firesuis's

A letter from Auxerre save :—" A curious cus-
tom is now adopted in Auxerre, not to designate a parti-
cular wore by the year ur which it was made, but by the
name of some personage who at the time of the rrndange
happens to be in popular favour. Thus we drink ' Gari-
baldi' and ' Bismarck.' This year at Auxerre and its
environs, and probably elsewhere, the grape which is now
being gathered in under such favourable circumstances
will produce a wine which is to be baptised, but without
water, in the name of the wine of ' La Lanterue,' and we
hope that it will have the same flavour as that of the
'ComZte.' "

TOREIGN NEWS.
(THIS DAY.)

THE SPANISH INSURRECTION.

The object of the iniurroetionary party in Spain
seems to be to shut out the Queen from the
capital and to raise the provinces. The pronun-
eiamento in Cadiz has boon sucooesful; a state
of siege is stated to have boon proclaimed at
Madrid, and Marshal Pepe Conchs, Marquis de la
Habana, nominated Provident of the Council in
place of Gonzales Bravo. The character and im-
pdrtance of the movement may be estimated from
the fact that Marshal Serrano, Generals Hulce,
Concha, Pierrad, Prim, and Cabrera are engaged
in it—that is to say, modersdos, progreesistas,
republicans, and legitimists. The following pro-
clamation has been distributed largely over the
peninsula :

Spaniards! Let our cry be the federal republic ! Down
erfth tyranny ! Let us for ever get rid of monarchs who
have always brought as midoetune. With the republic
we shall carry out the dernocmtio programme, the only
one that the country will applaud. Soldiers ! The
republic will send you back to your homes.
You will ray, when you meet your mothers—Thinks
to the republic you need no longer shed teen at
lAving your sons torn from you. they will now remain to
labour with you. Henceforth Spain will tight only in
self defence. As for the officer% they will he retained as
reserved cadres, in recompense for their services.
Spaniards with the republic alone you wiU be free,
happy, and rich ; with It alone property will be mr,:ure,
and wealth developed by labour. No one will bo perse-
cuted for opinion, because opinion is sacred. Dut public
plunderers must disgorge their ill-got booty.
The accomplices of tyranny will be eha•tised.
Si aniards ! show youns•lyes the worthy descendant~
of the Cid, of I'arhlla, of Lanus:t owl Itiezo.
Let us restore, whilst giving them modern perfection, the
libertir s of Castile and Aragon, and those of the popular
constitution of 1812. Citiiens: imitate the Swages-sans
of 1808, and of March 1838. Soldiers, be patriots!
imitate those who were led by Diego and Espartem. If
ordered to fire on your brethreu, reverse
your guns. For ages Spain battled against the Romans
and the Moors. A single month will flue you of your
present oppreesors. Spaniards, we are at this moment
the most disgraced nation of Europe-let us revive the
gnat deeds of 1808, 1812, and 1820. In a word, let the
lion rouse himself out of his lethargy. Spaniards!
MUCCCPS to the federal republic. To proclaim it and de-
fend, let us start up from our abasement. Toarmr for
liberty:
