MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly
supplied with wheat, for which description of produce the
demand ruled steady, and prices were well supported. Most
descriptions of spring corn were a dull inquiry, but flour
commanded extreme rates.

Throughout the continent wheat has sold slowly at barely
stationary prices. The American markets have presented
no new feature.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were moderate. From abroad we received 22,066
quarters of wheat, 8,574 barley, 22,638 oats, 1,701 beans, 98
peas, 14,831 linseed, 8,966 rapeseed, 340 sundry, 900 sacks
and 26,647 barrels of fimr.

Fre:h up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of
English wheat were less extensive. The demand, however,
for all qualities was by no means active, yet last Monday's
currency was well supported. At the close of business, a
fair clearance had been effected.

There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was but mo-
derate, at the rates current last week.

Floating cargoes of grain moved cff slowly at late rates.
The market was well supplied with English barley, and
the trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices from Monday
last of is per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, and the quotations had a downward
tendency.

The supply of oats was tolerably large. Scarcely any
change took place in the value either of English or foreign
parcels, but the trade was very inactive.
A fair average supply of beans was on the stands, and
the demand for them ruled inactive, at late rates.

Peas fairly supported last week's currency. Sales, how•
ever, progressed slowly, both in English and foreign
qualities.

Flour of all descriptions met a slow sale, but without
leading to any material change in prices. The supply of
barrels was somewhat extensive.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

WHICH IS THE PRINCESS or WALES.-A woman of
about fifty years of age, and of by no means prepossessing
appearance, applied to the magistrate for advice.
"Your worship," said the applicant, "I am the Princess
of Wales. You see it all in the papers about the
Princess Alexandra, and this man (pointing to the usher)
he does not understand it, and knows nothing about it,
but I have come to them as understands and knows
that I was married to the Prince of Wales and lived with
him two nights, and !then he :left me, and now he is mar-
ried to the Princess Alexandra, while they made a subscrip-
tion for me on the Stock Exchange, and I know they have
got the money. I wrote for it, and hex() I have got the
answer. They say they would give me any pecuniary aid,
and here are the initials "M.C.8." Now, sir, I
have come to ask you what "M.C.8." means, and
whether I canrot make them give up themoney.
The magistrate told her her that he could not give her
any advice, having nothing to do with the matters referred
to.

The applicant said she had been to other police-courts,
and had been referred to Bond-street- She proceeded with
a number of irrelevant statements, the bearing of which it
was impossible to make out, except that she complained of
incivility on the part of an official in a red robe at the
Mansion-house, who she said evidently did not believe
that she was the real Princess of Wales.

The magistrate listened patiently for some time, but see-
ing that she was not disposed to make an end of her appli-
cation, his worship ultimately suggested to the usher to
,6 get the poor creature away."
Ultimately she left, saying she should go to another
coaxt.

REV. FREDERIC WILLIAM FABER. D.D.

Father Superior of the Oratory at Brompton.
Our impression of Saturday briefly announced the
death of the Rev. Frederic William Faber, D.D.,
Superior of the Oratory at Brompton, the most dis-
tinguished of the Anglican converts to the Catholic
faith after Dr. Newman. Dr. Faber had been ill
since May last, his disease being the terribly serious
malady known as Bright's Disease, and for a long
time his life has been despaired of. He died at five
minutes past seven on Saturday morning, after
receiving the last sacraments. Whatever may be the
general opinion as to the conduct of the Oratorians
in their self-imposed work of proselytism, no cne
can deny that Dr. Faber was one of the most ear-
nest, most gentle, and most loving of mankind
He was universally popular, and his death has
caused a more widely spread feeling of grief
in Catholic circles than any other death in that
religious body could cause, Yesterday, after high
mass, the Rev. J. E. Bowden, one of the Fathers of
the Oratory, made a short address to the large con-
gregation there assembled. The rev, gentle man,whose
voice was at times broken byemotion , spoke in the most
eloquent and touching manner of the late superior.
"He might not need their prayers," said the preacher
but still they gave them. The golden words which
lee had spoken from that pulpit made their hearts
burn within them. Had they profited by his teach-
ing ? Let them pray to his patrons, St. Wilfrid, St.
Philip, and St. Raphael. A few spasmodic breath-
ings were the indications of his death. As he (the
preacher) knelt by his bedside he seemed to see the
realisation of the picture drawn by Dr. Faber of the
true Christian at the end of the 2d chapter of his
work, " All for Jesus," the passage beginning
" Only serve Jesus out of love," &c.
Frederic William Faber was born in 1814, and
was the son of the solicitor of the Bishop of Dur-
ham, whe was appointed judge or assessor of the
Bishop's Court for the Palatinate, and died more
than 20 years ago. His brothers are Col. Faber,
who is serving with his regiment in India; the
Rev. Francis Faber, 8.D., late fellow of Magdalen
College, Oxford, rector of Saunderton, near Prince's
Risborough ; and Mr. Henry Faber, a barrister, at
Stockton-on-Tees. His uncle was the celebrated
George Stanley Faber,B.D., the author of the works
on Prophecy. Frederic Faber was educated at Har-
ro w School, and was sent thence to University Col-
lege, Oxford, where he obtained a:sholarship. 1111836
he obtained the Newdigate prize for his English
poem, " The Knights of St. John ;" in the same
year he took a second class in Literis liumaniori-
bus ; and in 1837 was elected to one of Dr. John-
son's theological scholarships. He was ordained
deacon by the Bishop of Ripon and priest by the
Bishop of Oxford. Ho retained his fellowship at
University College till 1843, when he took the col-
lege living of Elton, Huntingdonshire, worth about
£450 a year.
Mr. Faber had early in his university career
adopted High Church opinions. In 1838 he pub-
lished a work called " The Ancient Things of the
Church of England." When travelling in 1842, he
had many conversations with Italian priests and
strangers about the rites, ceremonies, and doctrines
of their Church, and in put:dishing an account of
" Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches," de-
dicated to the poet Wordsworth, he took for a motto
the well-known refrain of the Shepherd's song in
the Campagna

" Roma I Roma! Roma!
Roma! non d pin come era prima."
In his tracts on the Church and the Prayer-book
, (1840), Mr. Faber considered the Church to be a
safeguard against selfishness and worldly times ;
and did Freemasonry the honour of saying that
" when it was anything more than a club, it was
profane and against the Gospel"--a statement the
veracity of which was only to be equalled by
its sagacity. In 1838, Mr. Faber published a tract
on the duty of keeping to the principles of the Re-
formation, and spoke of the " Roman Catholics" as
" Roman dissenters." In the same year he wrote a
tract on the "Burial Service: Its doctrines and its
Consolation." Yet when he was on his foreign tra-
vels, his views must have been of an extremely Ro-
manised character, for we find him speaking of
Luther and Petrarch in the following terms;—
"Here the apostate monk
Came, ere his fall, and when he saw how nigh
Good lay to Evil, their baser spirits shrank
As from a touchstone,"
It was probably about this period that Mr. Faber
wrote the enthusiastically religious verses which
were quaintly described as "Lives of the Sainte
potted down into Sonnets."
Mr. Faber remained at Elton for rather more
than two years, during which time he restored his
church, got up a choir, and obtained a character for
ultra-High Churchism. His account of his seces-
sion is interesting. He said that he had long been
in doubt as to the orthodoxy of Anglicanism, and
his excuse for officiating then in an Anglican
church was that he had "only delivered old sermons
written and preached in 1837 and 18381 He had
visited less sedulously' in his parish, and he had
stated his doubts to persons who came to confess to
him. He had preached at Elton the doctrines
vulgarly called Roman, no doubt, but he was not
aware of it." The end of all this was not far distant.
Mr. Newman, Mr. Dalguirn, Mr. Capes, Mr. A.
Christie, Mr. Cottin, Mr. Morris, and other well-
known Anglicans, had been received into the Catho-
lic Church in 1845. On Sunday, November 16, Mr.
Faber preached a short sermon from Ruth, and in-
timated that it would be the last time he should
appear in the pulpit of Elton Church. On the fol-
lowing day he was received into the Catholic Church
by Dr. Wareing, vicar apostolic of the northern dis.
trict, at St. Felix Chapel, Northampton. Mr. Faber
was accompanied in his secession by Mr. T. F.
Knox, 8.A., member of a noble Irish family, who
had, a year or two before, taken a distinguished
degree at Cambridge, and would in all proba-
bility have obtained a fellowship at Trinity. Be-
sides Mr. Knox, who was Mr. Faber's guest, the
rector of Elton took over to Rome a dozen of his
parishioners.
Having been received into the Roman Catholic
Church, Mr. Faber was for some time a resi-
dent of St. Wilfrid's, Staffordshire, where he
founded a confraternity. In 1849 he came to Lon-
don, and established the brotherhood of St. Philip
Neri in King William-street. Strand. He brought
with him six priests. In 1854 the Oratory was re-
moved to the splendid buildings adjoining Holy
Trinity Church, Brompton, where there are now no
fewer than 20 priests, besides lay members, novices,
&c. Here forlo years D r. Faber has worked with great
success, as far as regards proselytism, and the spa-
cious chapel of the Oratory is filled with a con-
tinually increasing number of worshippers. The
baptism of the captain of Westminster School, fre-
quently dealt with of late in the public columns of
the newspapers, need only here be alluded to.
Dr. Faber is well known as a writer, but it may
not generally be remembered that 25 years ago he
was considered one of the most graceful and charm-
ing of young poets. The " Cherwell Water Lily"
and other poems was a most popular book in the
early days of Oxford High Churchism. The
author's friendship with the poet Wordsworth may
Account for his enthusiastic affection for the moun-
tain and lake scenery of Cumberland and Westmore-
land. His intense love for Oxford, his description of
Oxford in spring, and of St. Mary's by night, may
take high rank among the poetical triumphs of
the 19th century. One or two of the poems
are ao:dressed to Lord John Manners, his fellow-
travellar and most intimate friend, to whose " soul's
hereditary gentleness,'' as well as to the " blaze and
the poet bears a warm
splendour .of his boyhood,"
testimony. His " ltosary" aid other poems he de-
dicated to Mr. Beresford-hope, " out of a
humble mind, with cheerful augury, redeemed from
sacrilege the Abbey of St. Augustine, and held it
but in trust for the churea of better times." His
poems on Scio, Candia, Parnassus, Therapia, Snow-
den, Hevellyn, Rothsay, and others, show
a great
rower of description and much poetical feeling. His
works of late years, since his secession, have deep-
ened the poetical element in his nature till it has
approached fiction. Few writings of modern times
are comparable to Dr. Faber's; there is in them
such a wonderful combination of piety, credu-
lity, earnestness, and eloquence.
Amongst Fattier Fanef; ooer works are po.

I
pular " All'for Jesus," which has had an immense
sale in England, and of which 40,000 copies have
been sold in America alone; "The Saints and
Servants of God," " The Spirit and Genius of St.
Philip Neri," " Sir Lancelot," " Spiritual Confe-
rences," " Growth in Holiness," "Jesus and Mary,'
" Tales of the Angels," "Discourse on the Sacra-
ments," and many others. Several of his works
have been translated into French, German, Dutch,
and other European languages.
Of all the converts to Catholicism from the An-
glican faith, the Morning Post of to-day ob-
serves that none have been more zealous, more
successful, more earnest, than Dr. Faber. His ac-
complishments, his administrative tact, his brilliant
conversational powers, his unfailing good temper
and geniality, having brought round him a band of
devoted and attached friends, who attended him
day and night during his painful illness, and who
now bitterly lament his death.
