PROPOSED _ECCLESIASTICAL •REFORM.

A committee has been formed, consisting of a large
number of clergymen and influential laymen, for the
purpose of bringing about extensive reforms in the
Established Church of England. They propose, inter
alia, that no clergyman shall hold more than one living,
and that he be resident thereon ; that all deaneries,
canonries, and prebendal stalls be (abolished, and their
revenues applied to the general purposes of the Church ;
that every attempt to sell a living, or a presentation to a
living, shall be punished by confiscation of the said
patronage to the parish ; and every attempt to purchase
a nomination shall be visited on the clerical delinquent
by a deprivation of holy orders ' • that church rates,
marriage and baptismal fees, and Easter offerings be
abolished. ; that no clergyman shall fill the office of a civil
magistrate ; that bishops shall cease attendance at the
House of Lords ; that the property of the Church shall
be administered by a board of commissioners consisting
exclusively of lay Churchmen appointed by the Govern-
ment, and subject on all points to the jurisdiction and
investigation of Parliament ; that all livings now in the
gift of the Crown, bishops, and other Church dignitaries
shall be withdrawn from the same, and the future
occupiers of the said livings be chosen by the communi-
cant members of the congregation ; that there shall be
one hundred dioceses, the same to be divided as equally
as possible ; that each diocese shall be divided into four
districts, each district to be presided over by an arch-
deacon as an assistant bishop ; that there shall be an
annual general council of the Church in June, to in-
clude the archbishops, bishops, and two clerical and
three lay delegates from each diocesan synod, of which
council the Archbishop of Canterbury shall be president,
and the Archbishop of York, vice-president ; that in
this general council all matters of doctrine, discipline,
and government of the Church shall be decided • that
the present archdioceses of Canterbury and York' shall
have bishops similar to the other dioceses, the duties of
the two archbishops to be exclusively confined to the
general superintendence of the Church ; that the dio-
cesan synods shall elect the bishops and archdeacons
from the clergy of the diocese where the vacancy occurs,
and that the general council elect the archbishops from
the bench of bishops ; that it shall be in the power of
the general council to depose any archbishop, bishop, or
archdeacon, whose conduct has not been in accordance
with the articles of the Church or the Christian faith,
as maintained by the said council ; that the clergy shall
be paid as follows :—Curates 1501. per annum, country
incumbents 2501., town incumbents 3501., archdeacons
7501., bishops 2,0001. (except the Bishop of London,
who shall have 3,0001.), the Archbishop of York,
4,0001., and the Archbishop of Canterbury 5,0001. Pro-
is made for the trial of clergymen accused of
and for the minor matters connected with the

ASTLErS AMPHITHEATRE.

The equestrian attractions here have been attended by
an almost unprecedented degree of success. The grand
and exciting military spectacle —the battle of Waterloo
—still holds its ground, though it has now reached a 71st
representation. The " scene 3" in the circle are both
novel and startling, and the " real fox chase" is not only
cleverly done and exciting, but gives to the majority of
the audience a most excellent idea of what perhaps they
never had an opportunity of seeing elsewhere, for fox
chasing, like many other amusements, is rather rare.
Miss Emily Cooke has returned from her continental
engagements, and again exhibits those surprising per-
forinances in the circle for which she previously acquired
so much well-deserved fame. Her merits as a female
equestrian are certainly of a very high order, and since
her sojourn abroad, we think she has rather improved
than otherwise. Her evolutions on horseback and daring
feats will alone repay a visit to Astley's. Under the
management of Mr. W. Cooke this favourite place of
amusement well maintains the character it held during
the reigns of Ducrow and Batty, and we are gratified to
find that it continues to receive the same generous sup-
port from the public.

IN RE POTHECARY.

The bankrupt was desbribed as a sheep salesman, of
Martin, in Wiltshire. His debts are nearly 8,000/.
His lonour, having looked through the proceedings,
said this appeared to be the case of a man who had gone
on contracting debts, thousands upon thousands, and
then at the last, when he found he could go on no longer,
instead of giving up what he had to his creditors gene-
rally, had contrived to throw his little property into the
hands of one man, to whom he had given a bill of sale.
Mr. Teague (o/Cheapside), for the bankrupt, said the
transaction was not a fraudulent one, in a moral sense,
though it was so in the eye of the law. The bill of sale
was given for a bona fide advance.
His Honour said that any man must know that he
was not to pick out one man, and give him the advan-
tage of a bill of sale, whereby he got 20s. in the pound
his debt while the other creditors got nothing. Be-
_ides this, he had been guilty of a breach of trust, and
bad plundered his relations.
e said that the bankrupt had the consent of
theMpra'rTieeagu
s interested in disposing of the property. He
hopj his honour would not refuse protection at that
tag_erof the case.

sale
The esatai •
nation was then adjourned, with protection.

EVENING CLASSES FOR YOUNG MEN IN LONDON.--
Although not news, certainly we cannot forego the plea-
sure of noticing the celebration of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert's birthday, on Friday week, by this excel-
lent institution. It is pretty well known that these
classes were some years back patronised by the Prince,
and have since, every year, made an annual excursion in
honour of their patron. The last would not most assur-
edly have been the teast, had weather been at all favour-
able for a water journey. As it was, however, a
goodly company were collected upon the occasion at
Erith Gardens, and by conduct and hilarity, did both
credit and justice to their distinguished patronage.
Several toasts were given after dinner, among which
"Her Majesty's," that of " Prince Albert and the Royal
Family," and the " Evening Classes, were the leading
ones—in the second, Joseph Payne, Esq., introduced a
set of verses, entitled the "Queen, the Prince, and their
Juvenile race."

RUSSIA AND TURKEY•

We learn from Vienna, Aug. 29, that Prince
Gortschakoff was inspecting the line of the Danube
when he received the dispatches informing him of
the Sultan's acceptance of the Vienna Note. He
returned immediately to his head-quarters, and
sent couriers in various directions. The Russian
officers expected the immediate evacuation of the
Principalities.
A letter from Vienna, of the 29th Ult., in the
Nuremberg Correspondent, says •--" According to
letters from Belgrade, Count de Nesselrode has com-
pletely set the mind of Prince Alexander at rest rela-
tive to the project of occupying Servia by Austrian
troops; but they add that, at the same time, he has ap
plied tohave the armaments which were commenced
suspended, to have certain modifications effected
in the administration, and some public function-
aries, who were displeasing to the protecting power,
dismissed. This application applies in particular to
the Senate, from which it is desired to exclude the
members hostile to Austria. The withdrawal of
the Austrian corps from the frontiers is considered
as a proof of the intention of the Emperor of Rus-
sia to call back his troops from the Danubian
Principalities. The courier of the Turkish Cabinet,
who left Constantinople on the 20th, with the ac-
ceptance by the Divan of the project of mediation
of Austria, arrived here yesterday. He was also
the bearer of dispatches from Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe to Lord Westmoreland. He made the
journey in seven days."
Accounts have been received from Malta of the
29th. The mail, with letters from the fleet at
Besika Bay, had arrived the day previous, and it
was asserted that the fleet would return to Malta
in the course of the month of September. All the
letters written by the English naval officers to their
families were in that sense. Several transport
vessels had been dispatched from Malta, with coal
and stores required by Admiral Dundas. The
Austrian Consul at Malta had returned to that
island from Smyrna.

It appeared that Mr. Carpenter entered the theatre at

his friend, Mr. Goode, in another box, he saluted him and
then left his own seat to join company with the latter. The
defendants entered into conversation in an audible voice,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—ln a letter from Captain Beechey, which appeared
in the Times of the Bth inst., the following passage occurs
with reference to a proposed expedition to Spitzbergen :
"It has been rumoured that a lady, whose heroic conduct
is so well known to the world, is willing to advance money
towards such a project."
As the person alluded to can bo no other than Lady
Franklin, I am enabled to state, from my own knowledge
of that lady's sentiments, that Captain Beechey has been
entirely. misinformed as to the intention of Lady Franklin
to furnish money towards an expedition to that •island, and
for these sufficient reasons--that she has no funds for such
a purpose, and that her anxiety is mainly directed to an-
other point, viz., that unexplored region lying in the course
that her husband was ordered to take between the meri-
dians of Wellington Channel and Behring's Strait, which
was his destined outlet.

For several years her efforts, both with the Admiralty
and privately, have been directed to this field of search,
which has never yet been explored.
I am Sir, your humble servant,

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Erie.)
THE STABBING AND 11URDER CASE AT DEPTFORD.
Henrie Gustave Brundl and Auders Akali, both foreign
sailors, were arraigned for the wilful murder of Thomas
Brosnahan, but in consequence of the absence of the In-
terpreter the case was postponed until next sessions.
There was no other case of the slightest interest be•
fore the court this morning. The sessions terminated
to-day, and the court stood adjourned until the 2d of
January, 1854.

SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)
WOOD V. THE FIRE ANNIHILATOR COMPANY.

This was an action to recover the sum of 381. for work
alleged to have been performed for the benefit of the com-
pany.

The case lasted a long time, but the details were
wholly uninteresting, depending solely on the measure-
ment of the work admitted to have been done. From
the evidence adduced, it appeared that the company had
caused a moveable house to be framed at Battersea for
the purpose of setting on fire, that the effect of the
annihilator might be observed to the best advantage from
the banks of the Thames. This project having been
satisfactorily carried out, the " house" was taken to
Gravesend as a second grand exhibition ; but notwith-
standing the exertions made, the edifice at Battersea
had been reduced to a very low ebb of existence, and
plaintiff had been engaged to do the " repairs " and re-
erect the house.

The company's engineer was of opinion that the
plaintiff's charges were far too high ; they appeared to
be founded on a specification for a substantial house,
and not such as the one projected by the company, which
was to prove that a fire in a house in which there was
the most inflammable material could be extinguished.
The expense of the erection or re-erection could be con-
siderably reduced. The experiment was tried in the
presence of thousands at Gravesend.
His Honour said the charges appeared unreasonable
—in the first instance, the plaintiff had sent in a bill
without giving any particulars, and he afterwards sent
in a detailed account. The plaintiff must have kept his
books very carelessly, or there could not have been such
a difference in the two accounts rendered.
The judgment of the Court was for 211. Bs.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—ln Captain Beechey's letter contained in your
columns of to-day, and headed " Arctic Discovery," the
writer comments upon some points connected with my
plan of search after Sir John Franklin and my Arctic
views generally. This is a subject in which the public has
taken an intense and noble interest, which will continue
to be felt, to some degree, even after Sir John Franklin
and his 138 should be given up by all. But not one out of
a thousand can be presumed for various reasons, so closely
to investigate the subject as to form an independent
opinion of his own, and therefore the general opinion is
much guided by leading articles, and communications of
celebrated authorities. Captain Beechey, for one, has put
forth his "dictum !" It is not in the spirit of controversy,
but luau humble endeavour to advocate what I have be-
lieved the interest of the British nation, that I beg the
favour of your inserting the following letter communicated
to the Athenmum of last Saturday, which may have been
seen only by a few of those who would peruse Captain
Beechey's letter in your own columns :

"1 ARCTIC DISCOVERY.

man's observations in your number of October 22 ? I was

THE STRIKES.

( From the Morning Herald.)
The charge of Baron Alderson at the Live;pool assizes
calls attention to a fact connected with our manufacturing
system of fearful contemplation. The learried judge,
outni

of the strike at Wigan, took occasion to ape,* i•ngcon-

TURKISH LOAN.-It is believed that the report of the
probable negotiation of a Turkish 5 per cent. loan in
Paris for 4,000,0001., through some of the financial in-
stitutions lately organised, is not without foundation.
The Government, it is said, are disposed to promote it,
but in return a condition will be exacted that the Sultan
shall bind himself unreservedly to consent to whatever
terms of adjustment the allied Powers may think proper
to propose.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Fifty thousand Cures have been
effected by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food,
