ORDER IN COUNCIL.

The following Proclamation has been issued
by order of her Majesty's Privy Council :

" At the Court ai Windsor, the 10th of De-
cember, 1841, present, the Queen's Most Excel-
lent Majesty in Council;
" Whereas by the late Act of Uniformity,
which establisheth the Liturgy and enacts, that
no Form or Order of Common Prayer be
openly used other than what is prescribed
or appointed to be used in and by the said book,
it is notwithstanding provided, that in all those
Prayers, Litanies, and Collects which do any-
wise relate to the King, Queen, or Royal
Progeny, the Names be altered and changed
from time to time, and fitted to the present oc-
casion, according to direction of lawful authority :
her Majesty was pleased this day in Council to
declare her Royal will and pleasure, that in all
the Prayers, Litanies, and Collects for the Royal
Family the words ' The Prince of Wales' be in-
serted immediately after the words 'The Prince
Albert.'

" And her Majesty doth strictly charge and
command, that no edition of the Common Prayer
be from henceforth printed but with this amend-
ment ; and that in the meantime, till copies
of such edition may be had, all parsons,
vicars, and curates' within this realm do (for
the preventing of mistakes), with the pen,
correct and amend all such prayers in the. Church
books, according to the foregoing directions :
and for the better notice' hereof, that this order
be forthwith printed and published, and sent to
the several parishes ; and that the Right Rev.
the Bishops do take care taat obedience be paid
to the same accordingly.

"WM. L. BATHURST."

Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday
night, as one of the Clapham omnibuses was passing the
Orphan Asylum, Westminster-road, the passengers felt
a sudden jerk, as if one of the wheels had gone over a
large substance, and immediately after was heard a low
stifled groan. The driver immediately stopped, and upon
the conductor, getting down, to his horror he discovered
that the wheel had passed over the body of a man,
who had been killed upon the spot. It is supposed that
the deceased was a ballad-singer, for in his pockets were
found several songs, a sixpence, and fourpence in copper.
ABOLITION OF THE EXCHEQUER BILL
OFFICE.-WC understand that the forgeries committed
by Beaumont Smith and his more guilty accomplices will,
possibly, lead to a transfer of the business connected with
the issue and payinent of Exchequer bills to the Bank of
England. Ministers are already in possession of the
terms upon which the Governors of that establishment
will undertake the management and risk of this import-
ant security. No arrangement can be definitively entered
into until the meeting of Parliament,, when it' is expected,
that one of the first measures of the session:will be the
appointment of a select committee to inquire into the
management of the department of the Comptroller
General and Paymasters of Exchequer Bills ; upon the
issue of which will depend the abolition of the depart-
ment itself, and the transfer of its affairs to the Bank of
England.—Circular. _ _

KIMMEL PARK.—The splendid mansion of
Lord Dinorben, at Kimmel Park, in North Wales, lately
destroyed by fire, will not be rebuilt. In consequence
of the great expense (estimated at 50,0000, and his
Lordship; having no direct heir to inherit the property,
the undertaking has been relinquished.

DEATH OF Mu. JOHN SYDNEY TAYLOR,
THE BARRISTER.—We deeply regret to have to announce
the death of Mr. John Sydney Taylor, barrister-at-law,
which took place on Friday morning at his house in
Chancery-lane. Mr. Taylor had been ill for several
months, and underwent repeated surgical operations of
a very painful nature. He bore his sufferings with
great fortitude, and with profound resignation to the
Divine will. Mr. Taylor, who was a native of Donny-
brook, greatly distinguished himself at Trinity College,
Dublin, where he took the degree of M.A. Soon after
completing his education he came to London, where he
obtained an engagement as Parliamentary Reporter on
the Morning Chronicle. After remaining some years on
that establishment, he was employed by the late Mr.
Thwaites, principal proprietor and editor of the
Morning Herald, to write leading articles for the
latter journal, which he continued to do until within
a few months of his death. Nearly all the articles which
have appeared in 'the Herald during the last fourteen
years, in favour of an amelioration of our criminal code,
and for the abolition of capital punishments, proceeded,
we believe, from Mr. Taylor's pen. A collection of these
was made six or seven years ago, and published in two
volumes, at the expanse of the "Society for the Diffu-
sion of Information on the Subject of Capital Punish-
ments." Mr. Taylor was a man of highly-cultivated li-
terary taste. He was also exceedingly fond of poetry,
and has written various small poetic pieces possessed of
considerable merit, though he never put his name to any
of them. Everything that proceeded from his pen was
pervaded by a spirit of humanity and benevolence. His
metropolitan practice in the Courts of Law was limited,
but in the Norfolk Circuit, which he regularly travelled,
he was rapidly rising into distinction, and was beginning
to obtain a large and lucrative business. He possessed su-
perior talents as a forensic speaker; and often displayed
great ingenuity 'in his cross-examination of witnesses. He
was a man of very kindly and generous disposition,
though somewhat reserved in his manner. Ho has left
a widow, but no children. He was in the 45th year of
his age.—Observer.—[Every one who knew Mr. Sydney
Taylor must concur in this tribute of respect to his memory.
He was an accomplished scholar, and a man of the most
amiable disposition. In all his writings he proved that his
great object was to improve the condition of mankind,
and, above all, to mitigate the cruelties of slavery and the
severity of the criminal law. Perhaps no man of the
present day has been more influential in the abolition or
mitigation of punishment ' • and though his philanthropy
at times might carry him further than the ideas of the
age or even sound discretion would justify, he must have
been consoled at
.the hour of death with the reflection,
that his failings were always on the side of humanity and
mercy to his fellow creatures. His exertions in this
sacred cause are not generally known to the public ; but,
among those who were engaged in the same penult, his
death will be felt at the present time as an irreparable
loss.—En. Sun.]
DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN BIRCH.—This
gentleman expired on Friday at his house in Guildford-
street, Brunswick-square. The deceased Alderman was
a writer of no mean importance ; his farce of the
Adopted Child will hold its place on the stage while taste
for nature is cherished by an audience.—British Queen.
On Friday night week, the Perseverance, Evans,
of Carnarvon, from Yarmouth

lin, was totally wrecked on Jack _

A WIBSEY GOOSE —On the morning of Tues-
day week,
the watchman at one of the mills in Bowling-
lane, Bradford, had his attention drawn to one of the
outhouses, from whence proceeded some strange noises.
He there found a man dressed in a most fantastic man-
ner having on light shoes, black stockings, bright yellow
,
breeches, a girl's slip, through the arm-holes of which
his shirt sleeves protruded. He had also on a black oil-
skin hat, on which was painted, in white letters, "Born
so." In this dress he had paraded the town, and when
found was on his way home to Wibsey ; he is stated to
be one of those who the day before had joined in the
Chartist demonstration,—Leeds Mercury.

MORNING SUN'

ON THE OBSERVANCE OF THE
SABBATH. oq

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. •
FABRILIA FABRI." A p,11.1"1;1
SlR—From one whose fair name for talent, piety, an"
morals has long been bruited over the whole civilized ~„,(11
world, but which on the present occasion I am not at li-
berty to enunciate—one whose choicest daily study for
the last sixty years has been the Word of God—one to ,14 b
0014
whom during that time " the Sabbath hath been a de- flight, the holy of the Lord, and honourable,"—from such ;01(1
an one I received the following note, in reply to a lecteriss II
referring to altered sentiments as to the supposed Divinli
appointment of a Christian Sabbath ;:.,, W 1 ,5(
"I meant to have said sooner that my own views.iP
what Scripture and reason concur in teaching as to a
Christian Sabbath and a permanent ministry, are oppo-
site to the conclusions at which you state yourself to have
arrived. But these are subjects far too wide to be en" ~:r*
tered upon. I only wish to say that inspired Apostles eioate
might have been directed to change the observance of ifOr
the seventh day into the first day of the week ; that an I aJEL!,
adequate reason seems apparent ; that general and con; ,
temporaneous usage from so early a period appears good „,f,Ol
evidence that the change so took place ;—and is sue- 141
ported by St. John's term, the Lord's Day ;' by St. Paul's
direction not to regard being censured about the Sabbath,
which I presume means the censures of the Judaizers
against those Christians who adopted the change. d
Now, Mr. Editor, next to a deliberately chosen
such
iJse
well wrought out argument upon such a subject by sucu
a hand, I most highly value this off-hand note, as showing
me, so far, upon what slender ground a great mina can.
sometimes, though it may be but for a moment, restat

Christians in general have not such ground as tbis, slea i-
der though it be, on which to found their belief in a P'
vine appointment of the Sabbath. What ground ran: •
slender than that " inspired Apostles might have It;

rected. The " general usage" was very early, no doubt_, •
but there is no scriptural evidence that it was so early e_
the Apostles; not the slightest evidence whatever is PI:
thereof in Scripture. True, the first day of the 'the
is once called the Lord's Day ; but there is ,Ithe
herpetserft°sroel„
most obvious reason for it, because on that day el s-t.
week the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead. As t°

Paul's direction not to regard the Judaizers' ens

ing been constituted a Christian Sabbath. From a
off-hand, slight note, though in my opinion of 111 'l,ose I
donsequence—from one great man now living, and W re' 1'
unspeakably valuable life may it please God long t°
,„Pro.
serve—we will proceed to the most deliberatelYto' his
pounded argument of another great man now gene ttiou
great reward, the Rev. Dr. Adam Clarke. His rseyer
is, that the Sabbath is a type ; and that a type is 'led to
to be dropped till the arrival of what it was designee!'
prefigure ; that what is prefigured by the Sabbath 15 the
nal rest in heaven, and that therefore the Sabbath the
type of that eternal rest, must be observed so long out
world remaineth. Such is Dr. Adam Clarke's posLti°ture,
it does not therefore follow that it is a position of Sal. but
It is the assumed position of a learned and good I°l, for
a position by no means well laid out. His posihtle toteS
instance, implies the original Sabbath ; and ”I - of the,
not the slightest notice of the fearful alteration_ loth'
day. Whereas, the day of the Sabbath, the "'e
mend
day, is as plainly laid down and enforced in the en its
as is " the rest" upon it ; and the express reason fordee.
being the "seventh" day is as plainly laid doWnll' fads
forced. But we shall find the good man, afterrnal liP
tering in his position. At one time he deems ete;mtlitl'
to be the anti-type—eternal life to be the " rest though
ing for the people of God ;" at another time, as. type,
not quite satisfied with this being the entire antlne'l is
the full meaning of Scripture, he adds, " the G°srefora •
this rest." llis words are, word for word, the
_,„ae
there is another rest, a state of blessedness for the Pc7res
of God, dnd this is the Gospel, the blessings it Pt°strict
and communicates." And such, perhaps, is the treut-
meaning of the Apostle, on whose words eis con
",oth
with
ing. However, the Doctor, not thoroughly satisei giorf
the above, adds immediately to it, "and the etern to ge"
which it (the Gospel) prepares for and has promise
ositiou
nuine believers." Thus he splits the half of his
into two parts, acknowledging that we are alread);lnot

effect demolishing, his whole position. re ne''
