The novel and striking advantages of this Company, when com-
pared with those of ordinary Life Assurance Societies, will be
readily perceived by the following example and table.
Suppose a person aged 20 commenoo by dcpooiting 10/. with this
Cotnpany,,qnd c„inue to do so every year till he arrives at 50, he
will havepSid t=e rompar.7 1100/., fer which he will hold a volloy
for 6951. 12s. 4d., payable to his representatives in case of death.
Should he, however, survive 50, and become unable to pay,* or not
be desirous of continuing his payments, he can either retain his
policy, and still remain assured for 6951. 12s. 4d., or he may cancel
his policy, and receive in cash 3821. 17s. Od., being 821. 17s. Od. more
than he has actually paid in.

In cases of ordinary Life Assurance, on failure to pay the pre-
mium, the Policy would lapse, and all previous payments become
forfeited to the Society.
To persons, therefore, of limited incomes, or whose incomes are
dependent on contingent circumstances, and who, from fear of being
unable at some future time to continue their annual premiums, have
hitherto neglected to avail themselves of the benefits of Life Assur-
ance, the advantages of this institution over any other is too obvious
to require comment,
Every description of ordinary Life Assurance business transacted.
Policies from 101. to 5,0001., on every known principle of Life As-
surance.
Policies not void on account of suicide.
" Diseased" lives, and lives " declined" by other offices, accepted.
Premiums may be paid in any way most convenient to the assured.
Annuities and Endowments granted upon more favourable terms
than in most offices.
Half-premium Assurances during the term of seven years.
Loans are granted on every description of Real or Personal Secu-
rity, upon terms more advantageous to the Borrower than in any
similar institution.
Indisputability of Policies. To put this matter beyond a doubt,
the common declaration as to the health and habits of the person
assured will net be inserted in the Policies.
Medical referees are paid by this Society in all cases for their pro-
fessional reports.
Commissions are allowed to all parties introducing business to this
Society, on a most liberal scale.

thirty took oat a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1681. I ls. Bd. ; but
the profits being 2 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
surance is for Life.

The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the
general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the
Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the
British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for
granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi •
ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin-
cipal stations on the Overland routes to India, and at the different
establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ;
and for all other legitmate banking business.
The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium
of deposits and investment for the Indian community, whilst the
sources of profit to he derived from the extended operations of .the
bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in-
terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and pt ofltable return
upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify
the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors.
The great success which has attended the operations of the exist-
ing s anking establishments in this country, connected with the East
Indies, and of the well-conducted I cal banks in the different Pre-
sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital
in similar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways,
has led to the formation of the Bank of India.
The extension of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing
requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and
military establishments of India, and the development of the sources
of wealth of that country which must arise from its improved internal
communication by the railways projected and now in progress there,
will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the
Bank at its different branches.
The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage-
ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries
so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter-
course now existing between these two countries.
The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be further
increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti-
nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and
sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies
already in operation.
Arr4angements are in progress to secure to this Company the co-
operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of
India, which wilt extend the operations of the Bank amongst that
class of the Indian community.
Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the
Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia-
bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the
capital of the Company to 2,000,000/. sterling, in which event the
new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution
amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from
their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered
likely to extend the business of the Bank.
The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now
nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board
of Directors, will be pablished in a few days.
In the meantime, further information may be obtained at the

The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway will be the great connect-
ing link between the lines of France, Belgium, and Germany at one
end, and of Holland at the other, and will form a direct intercom-
munication with the railways of Central and Southern Europe for
the inhabitants of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the Hague.
It is proposed to effect this national benefit by means of a railway
from the Government station at Antwerp to the Meuse at Rodevart,
a length of about thirty-five miles, in connexion with a steam-boat
service from thence to Rotterdam, a distance of about sixteen miles,
until a railway—for which surveys are in progress-4s decided upon.
In the interval, the steam-boat service is wholly in an inland or river
navigation, passengers and goods will be transferred at a railway
wharf he deep water, at Rodevart, so that the journey between Ant-
werp and Rotterdam will be easily and comfortably accomplished in
about three hours, instead of occupying ten hours as at present—the
fares beta! less than half the present cost.
The district to be traversed by this line comprises the best of the
Polders of Belgium and llolland, which are of a remarkable richness
and fertility. Its dense population enjoys a high condition of wealth
and comfort. Whilst the numbers per square mile in Belgium, Eng-
land, and France, are respectively—Belgium, 382; Great Britain,
231 ; France, 170 ; the Census of the inhabitants located ou the three
hundred and sixty square miles adjacent to this line gives a total of
291,730 persons, or about 840 per square mile—more than double the
general average of Belgium.
The branch to Breda, in length about fourteen miles, will secure
the traffic from Bois le-Due, Tilbourg, and a large range of fertile
country, from which the o:d and main roads converge towards and
unite at Breda. _ _

-This line has long been considered one of the most important and
profitable sections of the Dutch and Belgian systems of railway, and
has been the object of protracted negotiations between the two Go-
vernments. The concession for the portion of the line in Holland,
which is about three-fourths of the whole, was signed by the King of
Holland on the 21st July last. For the five leagues of the line in the
Kingdom of Belgum, a convention has been signed by the Minister
of Public Works, which only awaits the meeting of the Legislative
Chambers to receive a formal ratificatlon. A convention between
the two kingdoms, to establish this line of communication, has re-
ceived the Royal assent in both countries, and was formally ex-
changed on the 4th of last month (see the " Moniteur Beige" of the
14th August, 1852.)
The Concession is for ninety years, and the tariff for passengers
and goods is similar to that of the Belgian State Railways.
This Company is based upon a contract already concluded with a
responsib e contractor, Mr. George Wythes, of Reigate, by which he
undertakes to purchase the land, and construct the bridges, works
of art and stations for a double line ; and to execute the earthworks
for, and lay down and complete, a single line of rails ; as well as
to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops. Provision is
also made for the payment, by the contractor, of all preliminary
and incidental expenses, including the cost of the concession, and
also of interest, half-yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,
upon the capital called up, until the opening of the line, which
is expected to take place in less than two years from the date of
the concession. The whole outlay of capital will thus be covered
by the contract price of 500,0001., or about 10,0001. per mile, for
which fixed sun' the shareholders will become possessed of a line
of railway with most fa.voura'sle gradients and curves, complete and
ready for opening.
As regards the prospects of traffic, it may be observed that the
average gross receipts of the Belgian state railways for the year
1850, as published in the Government statistieal returns, amounted
to 1,710/. per mile, which in this case, would give a profit of up-
wards of 10 per cent. on the guaranteed cost of 10,000/. per mile.
It is apparent, however, that the receipts on this line may be ex-
pected to exceed the average of the 360 miles of Belgian State rail-
ways. First, because the local population in the district traversed
is more than twice as dense as the general average of Belgium, and iu
a condition of greater prosperity. Second, because the line forms a
direct prolongation of the railway from Brussels to Antwerp, which
is probably the most productive section of railway in Europe—pro-
ducing an average receipt of about 6,0001. per mile per annum.
Third, because this line, from its position, must command the greater
part of the through traffic between Holland, Belgium, France,
the South of Europe—the extent of which may be judged of from the
fact that the value of the merchandise transported to and fro be
tween Belgium and Holland amounted in She year 1850 to a value
of 4,429,9891., which was in great part received at, and sent from,
Antwerp. These statements are based upon the annual publication
of the details of foreign commerce, made by the Belgian Minister of
Finance.
Under the form of a " Societe Anonyme," the Shareholder's
liability is limited to his "holding." The capital will be represented
by 50,000 shares cf 101. each, of which 20,000 shares are already
taken in Holland, Belgium, and France. By the terms of the
statutes of the " Societe," the certificates of the shares will be issued
" to bearer."

Applications for Prospectuses and Shares may be made to Messrs.
Hutchinson and Sons, 39, Lothbury, and to Messrs. Foster and
Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad-street, and any further information may

By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
87, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

cases.

MORISON'S PILLS IN CHOLERA MORBus.
To Messrs. Morrison—

Gentlemen,—Having read a letter from Captain Langley, of the
trading-vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately arrived at Hull from
Riga, I transmit to you a copy, which you will feel to be your duty
to publish to all the world.
_ _ _

'; Dear Friend,—Respecting the universal ineCiellie of the British
College of Health, which you so fortunately provided me with at
Sunderland, I have every reason to believe, and Indeed I am con-
vinced, that they were the means of preserving nIY own life as well
as some hundreds more at Riga, a great mSAY Which I was an eye
witness te.

" On my arrival at Riga, I commenced taking the pills as a pre-
ventive or preparation for attack, to stay its violence if assailed;
by which means a free passage through the body prevented the in-
fectious air from producing that fatal cramp ha the stomach and
limbs which has caused the death of thematic's. On the 28tii of
May, however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful dis-
order, and for the first four hours was ins deplorable state ; but,
thank Clod, from the precautions I had used, the noxious air had
passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp,
and a few strong doses of the Universals semn restored me to health.
All my men, except one (who was too timid to take the Pills with
sufficient strength, tram the fear of being too violently purged,
who died in a few hours), took the Pill! night and morning, and
were saved.

" To satisfy the poor fellow who died, IT got kiln Borns medicine on
shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he ceased to exist soon
after, first becoming cold as a lump of ice, and of a dark blue co-
lour. I cannot think the cholera infections are contagious front the
touch as none of us were affected from handling the corpse.
" I left Riga on the Bth of June, and got down to Bauldra the
same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate and a boy were both
taken ill with this dreadful disease, and for six days were in a dis-
tressing state; but with a close and powerful application of the Pills
were restored to full health.

" I am happy to say I have every reason to believe that this me-
dicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of this dreadful evil,
but that its powers are best applied at an early stage. or as a prepa-
rative.

" The value of the medicine Was in the hthe,st estimation at
Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty supply that
could be obtained from me and the rest of the vessels who had sup-
plies from you. Had I had 10•/. worth more I could have sold them
all, even to the French electors that were them"
The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland from those
vessels which had supplies of the medicines out,

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.--A serious
slip of the embankment of this line of railway, in the exca•
nation between Temple-row and Monmouth-street, Birming-
ham, took place on Friday evening. About sixty yards of
massive brickwork, four feet thick and between thirty and
forty feet high, gave way and fell with a tremendous crash
on the line of railway. Various out-buildings fell at the
same time. Mr. Brunel and several of the directors had
been on the line only a short time before Although the
damage is extensive, it is believed that it will not cause the
postponement of the opening of the line. Fortunately, no
persons were injured, as the slip was anticipated some hours
previously.

denied having received the girl in Mr. had
question for con-
fession ; but we were led away from the consideration
of that point by the language of the his
Bishop in
judgment, in which he assumes as true the fact that
Mr. Prynne did actually receive the
as
confession, which,
Mr. Prynne in one place " solemnly assures" the
Bishop he never did receive, although certainly
another place he admits that he had once ashort
in
conversation with the girl on " the subject of con
firmation and holy communion." Putting aside:
however, for the present the point, whether or not
the scenes, as described by the girls, really did
pass at confession with Mr. Prynne; let us inquire
to what extent at confession, according to his own
showing, Mr. Prynne admits that he will go, at
the same time remembering that it is that
same extent which the Bishop justifies and approves.
" I beg to assure your Lordship," says Mr. Prynne
in his written address to the Bishop, " that I never
put any such questions to any one in my life as are
suggested in the statement, or anything like such
questions. I should deem it as corrupting to do so
as lam sure your Lordship would." So far so good.
We have nothing to find fault with in this general
and positive-denial. But then comes th 9 qualification
—" I put questions," he says, " under the circum-
stances which I have already stated to your Lord-•
ship—viz., in order to assist a person to make a com-
plete confession of sins, which they have upon their
conscience, but have a difficulty in naming, or in order,
sometimes, where they seem ignorant, to bring more
fully home to their conscience the degree of their
* "On the seventh commandment,
I trust I have been most cautious not to
suggest evil to the penitent, but judicious
questions." Here, then, we have a deli-
berate explanation by Mr. Prynne, addressed
to his diocesan, of the ordinary rules by
which he is guided at confession. From
that explanation we learn that the seventh com-
mandment is a subject-matter of confession, and
that :although he has been " most cautious not do
suggest evil," he has, nevertheless, suggested " judi-
cious questions." Now, we should really be glad if
Mr. Prynne would explain what possible " questions,"
on such a subject, he imagines can be " judi-
cious" without some admixture of " evil." But the
preceding part of his explanation throws a pretty
strong light upon the nature of these " questions.
They are put, he says, "in order to assist a person
to make a complete confession of sins which they have
a difficulty in naming." Now what can these sins
be which those who come to confession " have a
difficulty in naming" but sins of sensual impurity,
which the apostle says " ought not so much as to
be named amongst you ?" Mr. Prynne, therefore,
admits that he encourages " the penitent" (accord-
ing to the avowed practice of the Popish Church) to
make to him, in gross terms, filthy sensual reve-
lations, which one man ought to be ashamed to
make to another, but which this middle-aged clergy-
man of the Church of England entices females to
make to him, even when they have " a difficulty in
naming them," under the foul and wretched pretence
of enabling them to relieve their consciences by con-
fession. We do not think that we ever in our lives
read a more revolting statement than this explanation
of Mr. Prynne's. That a Romanist priest should be
guilty of such loathsome proceedings is so far excu-
sable, that it is inculcated on him as a duty by the
anti-Christian Church of which he has the misfortune
to be a minister; but that a clergyman of our Pro-
testant Church should thus undisguisedly confess to
practices so sinful and disgusting, betrays an obli-
quity in his moral sense, and an indifference to the
first principles of the pure religion of Jesus Christ,
which fill the mind with mingled feelings of awe and
indignation. Would that we could stop here. But,
alas ! alas ! this disgusting conduct is actually com-
mended by one of the prelates of our Church. The man
who avows it is singled out by his Bishop for his
special countenance and favour ! The Bishop says
that " he acquits Mr. Prynne of holding doctrine not
in accordance with the Church of England !" The
Bishop, moreover, avers that it is a fitting employ-
ment for a clergyman of his diocese to sit and listen
to a young girt of twelve years old, detailing " hor-
rors" of the most extreme impurity ; and if perchance
she has any modesty left, and she experiences some
" difficulty in naming," by the right names, the filthy
actions of which she has been guilty, or if perchance
" she seemed ignorant" bow to do so with correctness,
then the Bishop approves of this clergyman putting
such questions to her as shall remove her " difficulty"
and inform her " ignorance," so that she may " make
a complete confession of her sins." " I must say,"
said this Right Reverend Father in God, Henry, Lord
Bishop of Exeter, " I must say, from all that has
.been produced to-day, I entirely acquit Mr. Prynne,
even of indiscretion in receiving confession. Such is
the language of the Bishop of Exeter ! We dare not
trust ourselves to comment on it.
POST.—An inquiry has recently been held at
Plymouth, by the Bishop of Exeter, into the conduct
of a clergyman, charged with having received certain
confessions in a manner repugnant to the principles of
the Church of England. It would be desirable, if
possible, to exclude questions of religious controversy
from the daily papers. But we live in an age when
the Church is passing through a severe ordeal—in an
age, too, when the press is enlisted on every side of
every subject. It is, therefore, not possible, greatly
as we desire it, to avoid at all times the discussion of
theological questions. 'This must be our apology for
offering a few remarks upon the case of the Rev. G. R.
Prynne. That gentlemen has, it appears, been in the
habit of receiving to confession certain persons in his
district, and amongst them some young persons con-
nected with Miss Sellon's establishment at Eldad.
This coming to the ears of certain parties not of the
same theological principles as Mr. Prynne, an inquiry
is set on foot among some of the young persons who
had gone to confession. The consequence is, that
two or three clergymen at Plymouth, well known as
the leaders of every kind of opposition to the
Bishop and to High Church principles in general,
lodged with the Bishop a formal complaint against
Mr. Prynne, which resolved itself into these four
charges :-
1. The confessional is within the church.
2. That the confession is carried on secretly, not as
in Roman Catholic churches, where the parties
may be seen by the passers-by.
3. That (at least in the case of the girls belonging
to the Orphans' Home) it is periodically and
compulsively carried en.
4. That this compulsive and periodical system is
enforced upon very young children, i. e., from
twelve years of age.
These charges, the Bishop decided, did not bring
Mr. Prynne within the operation of any spiritual or
temporal law ; and he therefore adopted a purely,
extra-judicial course. He fixed a day for the ac-
cusers and accused to appear face to face befor him
in the presence cf a select number of clergy and laity,
and seven reporters for the press. The reason of such
an arrangement is not very obvious. It surely rested
with the Bishop, as Bishop, to investigate a charge
against a presbyter without holding a meeting for
the purpose, and that, too, under circumstances which
made it utterly impossible to come to a correct con-
clusion on the matter. We remember a previous
•occasion when the same Bishop held a similar meeting
to investigate charges against the management of
Miss Sellon's institution, and nothing could bemore
unsatisfactory than the termination of that inquiry.
Not that it prejudiced Miss Sellon or her cause in
the least, but it left the matter in as much obscurity
as at first, with the additional disadvantage, that
reports got circulated amongst the public, and went
very
llnutrin-
a-
the round of the papers, which from their
her and vaguity could never be authentically
in itself,i
dieted ; and thus a cause, good, probably
was injured by unskilful treatment. So,
pre-
sent case, a statement has gone forth through
thero ha
ugpapers which does not clear up a single difficulty lthe
in-
volved in the inquiry. The Bishop
ac-
quitted Mr. Prynne of all blam-e has, indeed,
tgoing to find fault with the Bishop'sanodpiwneiona.re.rßonumot
it is very clear that that opinion derived
sources independent of Mr. Pr nwneas's own reply to
the charges, and therefore extremelyY unsatisfactory to
those who, from the irregular manner in which the pro-
ceedings of the meeting were conducted, are debarred
from all chance of forming a fair conclusion on the sub-
ject. We have, therefore, much fault to find, first, with
the constitution of the meeting, and, secondly, with
the course of its proceedings. For the first, it is very
clear that Mr. Hatchard, and the clergymen who
acted with him, conceived that they had at last caught
a High Churchman tripping, and with that bitterness
which they always manifest towards their Bishop
whenever they have a chance, they resolved upon a
public agitation in Plymouth on the question of auri-
cular confession, which was enforced, so they said, by
Mr. Prynne, under circumstances even more objec-
tionable than in the practice of the Roman Church.
As a preliminary, they forward a formal complaint
to the Bishop, and when the Bishop proposes a com-
Paratively private investigation, Mr. Hatchard and
Mr. Childs most loudly complain, demanding that
every particular should be published and the meeting
be a thoroughly open one. It was the old cry over
again, "The public must be eatisfied." The absur-

[PRICE SD.

dity of " satisfying the public" as to the views and
teaching of any particular clergyman on confession is
transparent to every one but a bigoted Low
Churchman. The public, qua public, have no
right to trouble themselves about the matter. It
is a Churchman's question. But that large section
of the public whose feet never cross the portal
of our churches, who know little and care less
about the Church's principles and teaching, what
have they to do with such a complaint as that made
to the Bishop ? We are quite aware that, in obe-
dience to the Apostolic injunction, " Against a Pres-
byter receive not an accusation but before two or
three witnesses," the Bishop could not deal with the
complaint without the help of his clergy, but surely
that is no ground for a meeting constituted like that
of which we now speak. It is neither private nor
public. It is sufficiently public to stimulate curiosity
and make known the charges, while it is so private as
to withhold the evidence on which the truth of the
complaints depend. Had the Bishop resolutely main-
tained his right to investigate the charges with the
assistance Of such clergy as he chose to call to his
councils, and denied the right of "the public" to be

" Mr. Prynne will then state his case, and make an
comment on the evidence which he may think fit. If he
produces witnesses, he will examine them, and after.
wards the accusers may cross-examine.

" A reply will be allowed to those who make the
charges.
" If either the accusers or the accused prefer con-
ducting the case by any friend, being a clergyman, they
may do so."
But it never appears to have occurred to the Bishop
that he could not enforce this method. Probably he
trusted to the good sense and good feeling of those
who were labouring so assiduously to put him in an
unhappy position with " the public." If he did, it
appears that he trusted to a broken reed. Mr.
Hatchard and his friends had also a plan, and
they resolved not to accommodate theirs to that
of the Bishop. His Lordship wished to take
each case singly, and decide it on its merits.
Mr. Hatchard and Mr. Childs opposed this, desiring
to lump the cases together, and come to a conclusion
upon them jointly. The consequence was, that a de-
sultory ill-managed inquiry took the place of the
reasonable plan proposed by the Bishop. Several per-
' sons were examined, and several certificates put in.
At length time wore on—the day closed with nothing
substantial effected. Mr. Prynne produced a written
defence, which does not appear to have been ever
opened. The Bishop then pronounced a judgment
acquitting Mr. Prynne of all blame, to the chagrin of
his accusers. Now, can anything be more unsatisfac-
tory than such an inquiry and such a result P It was
said—" The confessional is within the Church." This
was disproved, but it was admitted that there was a
room used sometimes as a confessional, so that the
charge substantially remains. And it has undoubtedly
the great disadvantage, that the room used is not public
as in Roman Catholic churches. While it is admitted
that Mr. Prynne did receive persons so young as
twelve years to confession, it yet does not appear that
it was either periodically or by compulsion. So that,
after all, the simple fact is, that Mr. Prynne received
young persons to confession, and that, too, in a cer-
tain room in the church. The questions then arising
are—Ought Mr. Prynne to receive confessions at all ?
and next, if that be granted—ls there anything in the
circumstances of these confessions to inculpate Mr.
Prynne ? As to the first of these, we may accept the
Bishop's exposition as satisfactory. There are, un-
doubtedly, cases in which a clergyman may receive
confessions. As to the second, it would have been
more satisfactory had the Bishop been equally lumi-
nous in an exposition of the proper mode and place
of receiving them. We should then have had better
grounds for believing that Mr. Prynne is free from
blame. Either the whole should have been made
public, or none at all. At least the outline of Mr.
Prynne's defence should have been given. At present
it leaves the impression that this is just one more case
where principles, really right, are brought into con-
tempt through the indiscretion of those intrusted with
their administration.

IRELAND.
THE MURDER OF ME. RYAN.
DUBLIN, MONDAY.—Oa Thursday last the Sheriff
of Tipperary, accompanied by a strong force of police,
executed a babere upon three farms on the estate of
the late Mr. Ryan. These farms were occupied by
parties who are strongly suspected of having been
concerned in the assassination of that gentleman.
Hacket, the
holder of one of them, hag been fully
committed for trial. Two of the farm-bathes were
at once levelled to the ground, but the third, which is
of a more substantial character, was left standing, for
the use of a constable. There was a large concourse
of persons present, but they did not express any sym-
pathy with the fate of the murdered landlord, nor the
ejected tenants.
THE MURDER OF THE SOLDIER AT FERMOY.
The coroner's jury at Fermoy has returned a ver-
dict of wilful murder against some persons unknown.
According to the evidence it does not appear that the
fight which arose between the two soldiers and the
country people had any connexion whatever with the
memory of the Six-mile-bridge affair. It was the
result of a drunken quarrel, which arose in a petty
public-house.

STATE OF LEITRIM.--TILE ELECTIONS.

The Sligo Journal states that the county of Lei-
trim is relapsing into a state of sad disorder. On
Tuesday night, in a district extending over twelve
miles in length, all the haycocks were tossed about in
the most wanton manner, and a great many of them
set on fire. The same night the pound•keeper's
house, near Manorhamilton, was broken into and his
firesarms carried off. The centre of the mischief is
the land called Glenfarn, and the sufferers the re-
spectable farmers who voted for Mr. Montgomery
The magistrates will, we trust, meet at once, and
have the district proclaimed. This is exactly the class
of outrages which a proclamation can put down.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

THE HARVEST.

The crops are now completely saved. All the
accounts from the country agree in representing the
produce as above the ordinary average. The potatoes
are holding pretty well in many parts ; but, generally
speaking, the crop is regarded as a failure. The
Tipperary Guardian says :
Never, within the memory of man, has the weather
been more favourable for harvest operations than during
the present season. For the last month we have bash
visited Lightly by a sharp frost, followed in the day by
bright sunshine. Wheat, in almost every instance, is
safe in the stack-yard; but oats, a greater extent of
which have been sown this year than on former occasions,
arc rather late. The reports respecting the Potato are
conflicting; but we trust, as we heretofore said, that two-
thirds will be safe."

The Limerick Chronicle says :
" The weather continues most satisfactory for complet-
ing the harvest. We are gratified to reiterate our fa-
vourable reports of wheat, barlty, and oats ; the bean
crop is also superior, and, less complaint about appear-
ance of disease in pettttoes.
