YORKSHIRL.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDKNT.)
YORK, OCT. 24.—0 n Sunday last the Venerable
Archbishop of this dioce,e preached his Farewell Sermon
in the noble Cathedralof the See, before a crowded congre-
gat:on. Earl De Grey, and the officers and men of his
regiment, the Yorkshire Hussars (who are at present in
fronting there) were present, and Lord Milton, M.P.,
with nearly all the members of the Harcourt family, were
among the auditors. The Archbishop has attained his 84th
year, and he told his flock that •he felt he had arrived at
that period of life when it was necessary for him to abstain
from preaching. He said that it was probable that they
now heard his voice for the last time, and affectionately
urged upon them the duties of religion.
With respect to the coming Municipal Elections, it is
to be feared that the Tories will be able to complete their
triumph, and degrade the Old Whig City of York, by the
establishment of an unmixed Tory Corporation. If the
Liberals, however, be united and active, they will yet be
able to foil their plans. It is thought that the present
Lord Mayor (Mr. Hudson) will be re-elected ; and among
his party it would be difficult to find a better. Several most
material improvements are in progress in the city ; and the
opening of the Great North of England Railway, and the
York and North Midland Line, is expected to add new
energies to the commerce of York. A bridge is about to
be thrown over the river Ouse to meet the railways ; and
the all glorious east window of the minster—unequalled in
beauty, size, and grandeur in the world—is about to be
thrown open to public view by the removal of a row of va-
luable houses—which the Council, and Dean and Chapter,
have with much liberality sacrificed, to exhibit the beauties
of the church. The admirers of Westminster might take
a hint from this.

Last night there was a meeting of the friends of NA-
TIONAL EDUCATION held here, Samuel Tuke, Esq., took
the Chair, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev.
Mr. Abney, the Rev. James Parsons (well known as one
of the most distinguished ornaments of the Dissenting Pul-
pits in England), and Mr. Pearce, Editor of the Yorkshire-
man. Mr. Cornwall, of the British and Foreign School
Society was present, and delivered a powerful and impres-
sive address. The question of national education must be
seriously taken up by the whole nation.

" TIIE EMPEROR'S SON.”—The most interesting
and effective fictions have ever been those which are founded
on personal themes; and never was a theme of this nature
more deeply aff,cting, and at the slme time more strangely
romantic, than the fate of " The Emperor's Son"—the young
and unhappy Duke of Riechstadt. The f,rthcoming Romance
so called is, we un'erstand, the production of a Lady belong..
ing to one of the highest families in the country, and her
qualifications for the interesting task she has undertaken, are
said to be singularly well adapted to the subject she has chosen.
More salmon have been taken in the Wye this
season than for many years past. In former years very few
persons took more than 8 or 10 fish ; but this year the well..
known fishing blacksmith has taken with the fly 75 salmon
between Glasbury and Builth, and a gentleman residing on
the banks of Wye has caught upwards of 50. The writer
of this article saw 17 fish taken at two hauls. If this beau-
tiful river were protected from the poachers, it would become
one of the best frequented by anglers in the united kingdom
At the Hay, at the Three Cocks, Glasbury, and at Built!:
and Rhayader, excellent inns offer the most comfortable Sc.
cotnmodation for anglers, with ver,,, moderate charges._ Wor.
