WOOLIVICH.—Last week a boy, fourteen years
of age, son of Mr. Phillips, of King-street, when amusing
himself by throwing his cap, pitched it over a well, end in
attempting to catch it before it had fallen in, lost his balance,
and was precipitated to the bottom • and it appeared his head
struck the bucket in his descent, and consequently dearth was
instantaneous by drowning.
THE APOSTOLIC CHU RCH.—A churchwarden
of Morley, Yorkshire, recently called upon a Dissenter (who,
for his past refusals to pay, has been considered to be a most
dreadful and refractory heretic !) and asked for the rate.
He informed him he would not pay. The Churchwarden in-
quired why he refused to pay church-rates ? To which the
Disientcr replied, " Because he considered them to be unjust."
" But," said the orthodox Churchman, " if they are lawful they
must he just !! !" " Why, man," exclaimed the Dissenter,
" it was once lawful to burn such as me; do you think that
was just ?" "Ohno !" replied he, whilst his face burnt with
shame, " that cuuld not be just." Such is generally the logic
of these Sciolists of the " venerable and Apostolic Church !'
Provincial Paper.

ulcer, or ulcerated leg, or any dangerous sore, or any skin

rheumatism, may be radically of the same, on the terms
of no cure no pay, by th cans alone of Holloway's Oint-

kingdom who does not keep them ;

)—Turn which
siPn°:oll;Eb. everybody's mouth is,

What
could the Duke of Sussex mean by his speech on the Regency
Bill ?" The speech is reported with extraordinary accuracy,and it has been read by the public with more than common
AtheCq°ueßstßioEn
at-
tention ; but every one, on putting the paper down, exclaims
" What can all this be about?" The !peech had the same,
puzzling effect on the House of Lords during and after its deli-
very. Every Noble Lord Seemed to want time for reflection,
net as to the discretion of his Royal Highness comin-
g out with
such a speech on such an occasion, but as to what he was driv-
ing at. They saw that his Royal Highness ii dissatisfied about
something, but they could not make out from his rambling ad-
dress what the something S. This is always the way with
people who have an object at heart which they do rot think it
politic to avow. They beat about the bush, and by doing so
only draw public suspicion upon their motives. And here, en
passant, may be mentioned a singular fact as illustrative of the
confidence which the public always repose in the long-run upon
well-tried worth. The Duke of Sussex appealed to the Duke
of Wellington in the most flattering terms, and the later Noble
Duke answered the appeal by keeping his lips closed. The re-
sult is a general impression that the Duke of Wellington disap-
proved of the course taken by his Royal Highness ; and upon
the strength of that impression alone, combined with the la-
boured mysHication of his speech, the public suspect his Royal
Highness of having been disappointed, and disappointed ambi-
tion never gets credit for calm judgment or disinterested pur-
pose. That his Royal Highness is dissatisfied there can be no
doubt, for what man is not when he find,, the follies of youth
turned into whips for his old age ? The Ministry have probably
taken the wisest course they could. It was utterly impossible
for them, looking to the disputed point of the legitimacy of Sir
Augustus D'Este alone, to have included the Duke of Sussex
in the arrangements for a Regency ; and to have excluded him,
in favour of a younger brother, would have been an invidious
act, which might have sown the bitter seed of party spirit,
where it is for the public welfare that it should never be sup-
posed even to exist.—Morning Herald.
