SACRILEGE.

Upon opening the door of Lskrnham Church, on Thurs-
day morniug last, it was discovered that some thieves had
broken into the church since last Sunday. They entered by
taking out a pane of glass from one of the south windows,
which enabled then to open the casement. Their principal
object seems to have been to steal the commuuion plate,
but being frustrated in their views, the plate not being
kept in the church, they 'nuke open the large chest ; the
contents of whirl, they scattered about the church, not con-
sidering them worth their notice; they at length decamped
through the same window, after they hail split open sod
rubbed the pour singers' bo♦ of what it contained—about
two or three shillings; they took away nothing else except
the sexton's brush. It appears, evident that the villains must
be yonug, •s the width of the window could out well admit
■ moderate stud person.
