NEW COME AT STAMFORD-HILL.

The new church of St. Ann's, Hanger-lane.
Stamford-hill, was consecrated a few days ago by the Lord
Bishop of London. The usual imFoaing =emery of con-
secration being performed, and the petition of the founder,
that it should be made a district church, being granted;
prayers wen read by the new incumbent—the Rev. J. D.
Letts, M.A., the Vicar ; the Rev. W. J. Hall, the Very Rev.
Arehdseoea Sinclair, the Rev. J. S. Winter, and the
Jr. the bishop's chaplain taking part in the M.
vice • after which • very impressive sermon was
delivered by the bishop, from 1 Cor. ix. 27.
There was • large gathering of the neighbouring clergy in
the chancel ; the service at the organ, an unusually fine in.
strument, was ably conducted by Mr. Kelly, the organist.
The neighbourhood ia solely indebted to the liberality of
' Fowler Newsom, Frt., for the additional accommodation
which this church will afford to the rapidly increasing popu.
Wien. It is built after designs by Mr. Talbot Bury, the
architect ; its length from west to east is 110 feet, its shape
is cruciform, with an apse ; the whole church is of Kentish
rag stone and Bath stone facings ; the spire is 127 feet
high ' • and it holds 600 persons. One transept is de-
voted to the children of the adjoining school, and the other
to such of the poor of the district whose infirmities may
require that they should be near the clergyman. The entire
building is remarkable for its simplicity, and yet elegant
artistic taste ; it is of the early decorated character, and its
interior decorations fully accord with the beautiful embel-
lishments of that period. The stone carving is unusually
choice; the Caen stone pulpit by Mr. Gomm being. really
• work of art. The reredos is by Harland and Fisher, and
the stained glass windows were executed by Mr. Wailes, of
Newcastle, without regard to cost, and are in hie
best style. This church is provided with a repair fund,
• and has been endowed by a handsome parsonage house
and the adjoining land, of the value together of 3,0001. So
far as we could learn, the cost of the church itself was
upwards of 10,0001., but whatever it may be, we cannot but
admire the liberal sad Christian spirit of a gentleman, who
has the means, in conferring, as Mr. Newssim has done by
building • school, model cottages, and now completing hr
work by these beautiful buildings, such lasting benefits upon
the neighbourhood in which he therm
Some very liberal aerie's have been made to the church,
each as a double set of books for the services, the pulpit,
reading desk, the organ, communion plate, altar rails, altar
cloth, chairs, font, and a clock which is the result of sub.
scriptiona from personal friends of the founder residing in
and out of the district. There have also been many contri-
butions of needlework from several ladies.—Totteathot

MURDER AT GLASGOW.

A shocking murder took place on Sunday night
at Glengow, in the north-west part of the city.

About 8 o'clock, Robert Pattison, aged 48, residing at 3,
Caithness-street, Port Dundee, and who is an assistant-in-
specter of poor in the city. parish, went to the Northern
police-Ace, in a state of istexication, but for what reason
could not be aseseisinel, as he was either too drunk or too
stubborn to state. He was told to go home, but as he re-
fused to do this more than once, he was about to be turned
out of doom when Captain Nelson, the superintendent of the
northern division, passed through the lobby to inspect the
night form prior to their being sent on duty, and as Pattison
seemed to have identified Mr. Nelson be asked to see him.
The sergeant told him that as Mr. Nelson was sawed he
could not see him at present; but Captain Nelson bearing
the conversation ordered him to be locked up for protection
until he became sober. The man was accordingly locked up
and well was itthat this was done, as afterwards was proved.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock at night the fact that a bar-
barous murder bad been committed at 3, Caithnees-street,
by a man who had cut his child's throat, was reported to
the police, and soon Mr. Nelson arrived on the spot to make
the necessary inquiries. He found the dead body of the infant
, lying in a bed in the single room which formed the dwelling.
' house, as it afterwards transpired, of the prisoner, with
the throat cut from ear to ear, the head being almost se-
vend from the body. Dr. Miller was also soon upon the
I spot, and had the body conveyed to the polioe-office. Os
inquiring as to who the suspected murderer was, Mr. Nelson
heard the name "Pattiacm," and at once it flashed on hie
mind that. his prisoner for protection was the man
"wanted." Accordingly be was examined at the polies-
office, and upon the shirt-breast of the latter were found
blond marks. A second visit was then paid to the house,
sod the police were successful 'in finding the instrument
used in the commission of the horrible deed. A razor both
sides of which were clotted with blood, was found psi-Sally
hid in a mat on the bed, and near it was • towel, with
which it appeared he bad wiped his hands after wash.
tog them of the blood. The prisoner, Pattison, is •
widower, his wife having died about three weeks
ago, and at least since then he has been drinking
hard. He had another child by his wife, between
three and four years of age, and his wife, having been pre.
viously married, brought with her two children at their
marriage. One est these children was sent off to the poor-
house, or some other place, a week or two since, and the
other step-child seems not to have been well used. It was
locked out on Sunday morning by its step-father, the pri-
soner. The deceased infant (Magdeline) was best liked by
Pattison of all the family, and on Sunday, about hell-pasts
three o'clock, it was left by him in charge of • neighbour,
Mm. Henderson. He went out then, returning about half-
past five o'clock, and took the infant into the house with
him. About 7 o'clock the husband of the woman above-
mentioned went into the prisoner's house, and undressed
and put the deceased to bed—the prisoner shortly after
going in beside it and his other child, in a partially
dressed state. Henderson soon after left them, and no
more was seen or heard of Pattison by his neighbours.
A little before eleven o'clock, Mrs. Henderson, finding Pat-
tison'a stepdaughter—• child of ten or twelve—about the
stairs, the husband went in with it to the prisoner's house,
the door of which was unfastened. The apartment. being
dark, and Pettis= not answering to his name, • light was
obtained, when a shocking sight presented itself ; in the
corner of the bed • child of three or four years of age was
sitting crying , and on the pillow lay the dead body of the
child, with its throat cut as already described. The little
child, when questioned by Mr. Nelson, spoke very clearly
to the fact that she bad seen her father with a " knife, cut-
ting Maglin in the bed." The wretched man, when spoken
to about the dreadful deed he had committed, 'bowed, or
pretended to show, ignorance of the whole matter.—North
British Mail.

would win.

MERITORIOUS CONDUCT ACENoWLEDORD.--On
Saturday one of those pleasing international recognitions of
hninanisy and bravery, which are of no very unusual ocer••
ivece, took place in the Liverpool Sailors' Home. The
occasion was that of presenting a silver medal from the
Emperor of the French to William Morgan, captain of the
steamihip Mangerton, in acknowledgment of his service+ in
saving the crew, five in number, of the French sloop
Euphrosyne. The presentation was made by Mr. Smith, a
member of the Local Marine Board, who, in presenting the
medal, intimated to Captain Morgan that he bad bees
in /lied to receive at his (Mr. Smith's) hands the gift of the
French Emperor. The gift, a very handsome silver medal,
was 51 recognition of Captain Morgan'. having done a highly
meritorious act in saving the lives of the crew of a vessel,
at great personal risk to himeelf. The present was the
lira occasion on which inch a service had been ackuowlelged
by a medal of honour presented to a British shipmaster,
sad it must, consequently, be looked on as one of the highest
honours which the French Emperor could confer. The
medal bore the subjoined inscription :—" Au Capit.uue
William Morgan, commandant le Navire A nglais Mangedue.
Service ila Marine Marchand° Francais., 1854." In !weir-
ing the gift, Captain Morgan said he felt altogether in:ides
quote to make any observation on the subject. In fact, he
was a man more of acts than of words, and in doing what
he had done, he had only done what any man should have
done under similar ohmicstances. He found the vessel rod
her crew in distress, and he endeavoured to relieve there,
hie success in baring done so being his best reward. Ths
Mangerton, it should be stated, is a steamship helouging
the Liverpool and Londonderry SteanuthipCompany, sod it
would appear that in the spring of the present year Captain
Morgan fell in with the alpha:arse in a disabled condition,
about sixty mass off Baltimore, on the west coast of Ireland.
He took the vessel in tow, but she sunk about eight adieu
off the land, and by dint of great exertions—it blowing a
pleat the time—he succeeded in getting her crew on
Ward of his own ship.
