Chris;ian can dissent from that. There is nothing of
Popery in the rule of St. Benedict, for it was framed before
the great corruptions of Rome crept in. (Hear, hear.) That
is the reason why we—for, however we may be calumniated,
we desire to remain members of the Reformed Church of
England— have chosen this rule. These collegiate churches
ought to be above all suspicion. Do our colleges, I would
ask, consist of married men ? Would it be compatible with
their duties for the men in our colleges to have their wives
and families living with them ? (Oh, oh.) It is necessary,
therefore, that these collegiate bodies should be unshackled
by the holy ties—for holy I admit them to be—of wives and
children. (Oh, oh.) These collegiate bodies were used by
the early Church, and by the mediaeval Church, though
with many abuses, I admit. Let us have, then, these colle-
giate bodies of' men, ever ready, night and day, to go forth
into the homes of misery—ever at the beck and call of the
parish clergy. We shall succeed thus in enabling our
Church to reach the men whom she has never yet been
able to reach. I hope you will prayerfully consiCer the
subject. You know hew often such men as Bishops Mon-
tague and Thorndyke have sighed hr the restoration of
monasteries. (Oh, oh 1 and loud cries of "No Popery.")
I beg your pardon for inadvertently usirg the word—not
because I am ashamed of it, but because 1 don't wish to
offend. I hope something will be done ; we have talk enough
but no work. How can our parish clergymen grapple with
the immense mass of work before them ? In one pariah
where I was at work there was a population of 3,5,000
and no one clergyman could grapple wi•h one tithe of the
vast misery. Let us do something. Why not begin at
Bristol, since it is here that the subject has been brought
forward in solemn Congress ? (Applause) [The allotted
ten minutes having here expired, the rev, brother's speech
was brought to a close, and he at once left the room, having
certainly done something to propitiate his audience, the
most of whom were willing to give him credit for sincerity
of motive, if not for the good taste of the appearance there.]
The Earl of HARROWBY, who was loudly cheered, said
—lf it had not been for the startling apparition which has
just disappeared, 1 should net have taken part in this dis-
cussion. A few years ago we should as soon have expected to
see St. Benedict himself appearing before us. lam
not surprised, however, that any one who has had much to
do with the masses of vice and misery in our great towns
should break cut into excrescences and distortions in the
attempt to remedy such great evils, and we can but feel
deeply grateful to them for undertaking any kind of expe-
riment. At the same time, whether we attain our object
by collegiate churches or by subdivision of parishes, why
is it necessary in doing good to offend the feelings of other
people? (Cheers.) Why is it necessary to raise obstacles
in your own way ? Cannot a man attempt to do good among
the labouring classes without wearing an obnoxious habit or
without shaving his crown ? (Loud cheers.) If a man thinks
that everything should be done fur the spread of the doe-
trines of a Reformed Church, is it necessary that he should
put on an appearance which is connected with the idea of a
totally different Church. (Loud cheers.) I hope that these
men will consider their course, and will reflect whether it
is not possible to extract all the good which may be found in
the innerprinciple of the rule of St. Benedict without wear-
ing this garb? In reference to the particular question at
issue, Lord Harrowby said that though there was much to
be said on both sides of the question, yet he thought on the
whole that subdivision of parishes would be most advan.
tageous, as most analogous to the genius of English civil
law.
After the sensation caused by this incident, which but for
the judicious management of the Bishop and the ready
rej inder of the Earl of Harrowby might have damaged the
success of the Congress, had Eubsidtd, the Dean of Ely and
other speakers addressed the meeting on the same subject.
The afternoon sitting was occupied by a discussion on the
mutual relations of the Church in England and in Ireland,
and on free and open churches,

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING

THURSDAY.
The principal item in to-day's programme was the New-
market Oaks, a new stake, for which the redaubted F lle de
l'Air was entered. Baron Rothschild had three—Breeze,
Tomato, and Evelina—and started them all. The French
mare and Tomato carried 71b extra, Breeze, but 31b.
The betting was 7 to 4 on the Oaks winner, and 4 to 1
agst anything else.
As the result proved, they might have laid any odds An
her, for Edwards had only to drop his hands at the halt
distance and the race was over. Breeze appeared to stand
still when Fille de l'Air shot cut and won without an eff ,rt
—another proof, if one was wanted, of her bring a great
mare, while the success of the stable is overwhelming.
Nothing seems able to stand against it. The other events
call for no particular comment beyond what our return
gives, The Handicap Plate, A. F., brought out the largest
field of the day, but from the very lenient penalty on
Wandering Minstrel the race was considered over before it
began, and was won in the handsomest of styles. The
Bretby was carried off by the White Duck, after a fine race
with Klarinska end Convcnt. Much interest is excited by
the match to-morrow between General Peel and Cambus •
can. The betting is about even at present, and promises to
be heavy bif,re the flog falls. 1

gave way to the favourite, who, with Strafford at her quar-
ters, followed the leader into the Abingdon Mile bottom,
where sho was beaten, leaving the issue with the two, Hip-

which File de l'Air ran past her horses and took second
place, which she retained to the Rowley mile post, where
Evelina was
_beaten and her place taken by Tomato, but
without a chance of the race, as Edwards forced the run-
ning to a quarter of a mile from home, when he indulged
the favourite with the lead, which she retained to the end,
and won with the most ridiculous ease by three lengths,
a like distance separated the second and third.

the three running a close race home, which was won by

between the second and third ; Herschel was fourth, close

The flag was lowered to an excellent start, the lot running
in a line, Gannochy having a slight load. They ran thus to
a quarter of a mile ef home, when Mr Guibelei's filly died
away, and the running was taken up by the Serenade colt,
closely pressed by Mongrel and Incision, the three finishing
a close race home, the Serenade filly winning at last by a

Birdfinder made play for a quarter of a mile, when the
running was taken up by Historian, who, in company with
Cathedral, the favourite, and Meuleey, carried it on into
the Abingdon Mile bottom, when Wandering Minstrel drew
slightly in advance, and, with Cathedral, came on some
lengths in front of Lord Bateman's colt. Half way in the
cords Grimshaw commenced in earnest,and soon had Cathe-

Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting.

BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening.

The second meeting of the South Staffordshire ironmasters
for this quarter was held in this town this afternoon. There
was a large attendance of the trade, Liverpool and London
firms being well represented, as well as sections of the trade
in other of the iron-producing districts. The quietude
which prevailed at Wolverhampton on Wednesday was
repeated to-day, not the slightest animation having
been experienced from the commencement to the close
of the meeting, and only a very moderate quantity of
iron was sold. Producers said that they were not
anxious to take orders until the strike is over, enabling
them to calculate with a greater degree of certainty relative
to the price and supply of fuel; and no doubt a feeling of
that kind did operate with them. But it is no less certain
that consumers were not eager to buy, many if them en-
tertaining the opinion that they will be able to do better to-
wards the middle of the quarter ; and in the event of the
money-market continuing tight as it now is, with the in•
vitable tendency to check the export trade, and the termina•
tion of the colliers' strike, which is daily becoming more
probable, it is extremely doubtful whether there would be a
ufacient demand for finished iron to k( ep the works in
full operation. It was in contemplation of the trade being
thus :circumstanced hereafter that so much of inactivity
prevailed to-day. Towards the close a few orders were
given, but the transactions fell decidedly short of the ave•
rage.
For pig-iron the make of South Staffordshire there was
a little more inquiry, and prices were firmer. For Shrop-
shire pig there was the usual steady demand.
The reports to-day in reference to the colliers' strike wore
concurrent as to the probability of its early termination,
" if," as was said, "the men bo let alone ;" and no doubt
that has very much to do with it. At Lord Dudley's pits
nearly 500 of the men have gone in already; they have
gone in at other collieries in that neighbourhood—also a
portion of those employed at Messrs. Bagnall's, at Messrs.
Philip Williams and Sons', at Messrs. G. B. Thorney-
croft and Co.'s, on the Wolverhampton side—and
other instances might be named. That the men have
been very foolish and very badly advised there can be no
doubt; they are the dupes of such knaves as tho e with
whom Lord Leigh came into contact ; at the same time it is
only fair to state that, barring some hal-dozen outrages in
which a few bad characters have been concerned, the men
have, as a body, behaved better, and shown more respect
for the law, than on any former occasion of a strike in
South Staffirdshire.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. For all qualities the trade ruled
firm, and prices were rather higher than on Monday.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet the
quotations ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily at full cur-
rencies.
The market was moderately supplied with barley. Good
and fine malting qualities were in steady demand at full
prices, otherwise the barley trade was dull.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was large. In most descrip-
tions a full average business was transacted at quite previous
quotations.
Beans were in slow request at the hite decline in prices.
Peas ruled firm at late rates.

Yellow never at Bermuda,

The Montreal Herald of September 24th, says—

"Not many days ago it was our duty to mention
the departure frcm this country of a number of
military surgeons ordered to Bermuda, to render
such poor aid as medical skill can afford to the
many sufferers in that island attacked by yellow
fever. On Saturday cfficial information was received

here which renders it only too certain that 1)r Clarke,
who was in service at Quebec, and Dr Milroy, of
the 30th Regiment, firming pert of the garrison

here, have succumbed before the fatal epidemic.

Surgeon-Major Barrow has also been taken down
by disease, but we believe that in his case the
attack was complicated by dysentery, which ac•
cording to Southern traditions, tends to weaken
the influence of the more destructive malady,
and at last accounts he was reported to be
recovering. Dr. Ferguson. also of the 30th has
been attacked, and was not out of danger when the
last advices came away. Dr. Harrison, R.A., tig.s
been reported among the victims ; but we are glad
to have reason to think that this report is so far
erroneous. Still, out of 11 surgeons who left this

city on the 17. h ult., we have had within 30 days
the intelligence that five have been assailed by the
fever, and that two, if not three, have died.
As an example of the extreme suddenness and viru-
lence of the attacks, it is mentioned that when the
steamer St. George was leaving the island on her
last trip five men rowing to the vessel in one boat
were attacked before they c tme alongside, and
had to put back and go into hospital. We regret
to say that we have received a communication,
stating that not only were the steps which every
well-informed person understands to be usual and
efficient for preventing or mitigating such calamie
ties omitted, but also that the advice of scientific
men, professionally tendered, was disregarded. The
use of open air lodgings on high and dry ground,
in an atmosphere fresh from contamination, is
thoroughly understood by every civilian, and in
frequent instances bodies of troops attacked by
pestilence of one kind or another have ceased to lose
a man from the moment that they were marched
out of barracks to bivouac on the turf and live out
of doors, free from the death dealing miasma
of their close and infected quarters. Yet it
would appear from the information furnished by
our correspondent that this well•known method of
saving the lives of soldiers did not suggest itself
and when suggested by others was rejected by an
officer sufficiently experienced and high in rank to
have military command of the station, and that the
men were kept encamped on low ground, and the
military hospital not only not disused (as was
advised by the medical cheers), but over-
crowded, though its walls were impregnated with
yellow fever poison. Fur the bake of en old
officer, and of the service to which he belongs,
we must express a sincere hope that there were
some circumstances not known to the gentleman
who has written to us. We learn that the fever
was conveyed to Bermuda, where it is a very un.
fr(quent visitor, by the blockade runners. 'They
