for these foolish devices of the Church for de- political persecution; and they can find no better
ceiving the multitude. model to shape their conduct by, in order to get
power, than that of the Papal priesthood. Thus
the Bishop of London, at the above meeting,
could find no better argument for multiplying
bishops than the fact that the Papists had a great
many. It was not said that bishops could pro-
mote holy living, but
,they could make a show,
and rival the Romanists. His words, as reported
in the Tory journals, were these :
He Would refer now to the backward conduct of their ewn
Church when compared with that of the Church of Rome.
In those places where their Churchmen held the office of the
episcopacy, the Romanists had ever taken care that no such
want should exist on her part. Wherever a settlement was
made, there did she send an episcopal authority. When
their own Church had tep bi-hops the Roman Catholic
Church had no less than twenty-three ; and, indeed, he be-
lieved he might add to that number ; for within the last five
weeks she had established a bishop at Gibraltar, and she had
sent out a bishop to New Zealand, with 13 or 14 priests
under him. That this example might induce greater exer-
tions on their part, he sincerely trusted.—( Hear, hear.) These
were facts for the existence of which they might take shame
to themselves ; but which, however much they might regret
their existence, they could not refute.
In much the same strain did the Primate hold
forth :—.-
One of the causes why our holy religion had not prospered
so much as might have been expected, was unquestionably
that these things were too little thought of.--(Hear, hear. )
This country did not follow the example set by France, who
sent out bishops and efficient staffs; but we were content to
send to the colonies a few clergymen only. 'lbis tended in-
evitably to the decline of religion in the colonies. The mis-
take was, however, discovered after the settlement of peace
with America. That country was lost to us, and our statesmen
of that time showed their conviction that one of the causes of
that loss was the want of episcopal superintendence, by estab-
lishing bishoprics in Canada.—(Hear, hear.)
What a misfortune that the habitaits, so obe-
dient, so very docile, such nursery fathers of the
Church, were not under Anglican instead of
Popish bishops. If we had sent bishops to
Canada, like the French, and established. there
an Anglican Episcopacy, Canada would have
been a paradise, and it has been converted into
something very different, because the Govern-
ment neglected to send out bishops. We
thought that clergy reserves, and quarrels be-
tween Episcopalians and Dissenters, had been rife
enough without adding thereto Episcopal ire
and Episcopal avarice.
The Bishop of London and the Archbishop of
Canterbury are far from being the most perfect
of bishops. They are not Puseyites, but rather
profess Evangelism, and yet they both admire
the Papal priesthood, and hold their conduct
up to imitation. We are not much surprised at
it, when we learn from the same Prelates that
Episcopacy and the Church, Episcopacy and mo-
rality, and of course Episcopacy and Socialism,
are all one and
.the same thing. The Bishop of
London said—
He had always maintained that an Episcopal Church with-
out a bishop was neither more nor less than a body without a
head, and the Church was said to be an Episcopal Church
its head had ceased to exist. Ecelesia est in Episcopo. when
And the Primate said—
We should assert our claim to be called a Church, by the
establishment of bishoprics in the Mediterranean.—(Hear,
hear.) This, he conceived, would tend greatly to the benefit
of the Church universal.
Bonaparte's phrase was, L'etat c'est awl. The
Bishop's and Archbishop's phrase is—The Church,
it is a bishop—morality, it is a bishop—salvation,
it is a bishop. Bishop first, bishop last—bishop
greatest, bishop witholit..endthere is nothing
like bishop. We now understand. the source of
the wickedness of the Irish, and the great crimi-
nality of the Whigs. (They, the sacrilegious
men, cut off ten bishoprics in Ireland, and ever
since the Irish have been running a downward
race to perdition. There must be no small share
of brass, however, in the composition of these
men, when they could vaunt of the utility of
bishops, when the case of Ireland is fresh in the
public recollection.
What is in a man's mind is sometimes made
apparent by his eagerness to disavow and deny
it. On this principle it is worth while to notice
that the Archbishop of Canterbury said—" Nor
was it meant in sending Bishops to the colonies
to make war with Dissenters (applause), but to
put our Church upon a proper footing." That
means, however, that the bishops are somehow
or other intended to strengthen the Church in
the colonies against the Dissenters. The splen-
dour of a bishop, and still more of an arch-
bishop, will be sure to put out Dissent. It will
be overshadowed by the magnificence of Epis-
copacy, and will pine away to death. The
bishops who have done so much to extinguish
Dissent in England, are not to make war on it
u the colonies. They are only expected to put

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Funds to-day were soon buoyed up to the former mark.
A solitary bargain was effected in Consols early in the dsy at
894 for Money, and 90 for Account, but. the former closed at
903, and the latter at 901. 'the premium on the unfunded
debt keeps up well under existing circumstances, being 12s. t o
14s, and upon East India Bonds it has heea again 4s. to 2s.
The most heavy Stock in the market at present is that of the
Bank of England, which receded again to-day, being at 169 to
168, and East India Stock was also lower, the price being 2551
to 254. the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were marked
981 to 984, the Reduced Three-and-a• Half per Cents. 971
to 971; and the Three per Cent. Annuities 884 to 89k.
The speculators in the Foreign Market have been very
inert to-day, and prices generally have been heavy. This state
of things will continue no doubt until it is seen whether a new
loan will be required. The Active Spanish Bonds were dull
at 234 to 231, the New Portuguese at 34 to I, Mexican at 294,
and Colombian (Venezuela) at 281 to 4. Austrian Bonds
were firm at 1103, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 52i.
A good amount of business was transacted in the Railway
Shares to-lay, and the previous quotati, ns were fully cur-
ported. Great Western Railway Shares were 311 to 301,
the New 151 to 2., the Fifths at 8, the Birmingham at 72,
the New at 231, the York and North Midland at 331, and the
South-Western at 193 premium. Brighton were 11, Green-
wich (New) 2i, North Midland 231, South-Eastern 141, and
Eastern Counties 14 discount. Union Bank of Australia
Shares were at 91 premium.
This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were without altera-
tion. On Paris the rate was 251. 60c. to 623fe, Hamburgh
13 91, on Amsterdam 12 3/, on Antwerp 12 31 to 1, on
Frankfort 1493, and on Trieste 10.

it down.
At the meeting there was a great sprinkling
of gentry, as well as clergy. We are not much
surprised at that. A bishopric in the colonies,
like a judgeship or a bishopric at home, will be
worth the acceptance of a scion of nobility. No
Peer thinks of making his son a missionary, but
many Peers would like to provide for their sons
by making them bishops. The aristocracy, out
of Parliament as well as in Parliament, exhibit
great readiness to create those places which they
are exclusively to fill, and the people are to
pay for.

CHARTIST SCHOOLS
TO MR. WILLIAM LOVETT.
DEAR SIR,-If the saying of Dr. Johnson be a correet one,
" That he never knew he had struck a hard blow unless there
was a rebound," you have no reason to regret the personalities
so unjustly heaped upon you by some unthinking and physical.
force Chartists; fur their uncourteous conduct has not only
excited a closer investigation into your plan for accomplishing
the views of the Charter by public opinion, and moral and
educational means • but that very investigation will, in the
minis of rational democrats, discredit the outrage of violent
men, and render them and their frantic behaviouralike objects
of commiseration and avoidance with the convulsions of exiiir-
hug inanity.
I give my adhesion to the great outline and general princiVe
of your plan, because it offers to the working classes the choice
whether they will have their families educated by themselves
in freedom or by the state in slavery. You seize the present
critical time for the working classes to commence your system
before any Whig or Tory Government, under any pretext, can
dictate a sectarian one, and compel them to educate their chil-
dren according .to Act of Parliament regulations.
I think if you can establish a " 'I rades' Hall" in London,
as a preliminary fulcrum whereon to place your lever for the
elevation of the working classes to their rightful station in
society, all other details might be amicably arranged
hereafter, but certain it is, that if the principles of democracy,
as set forth in the Charter could be obtained, they never can
be permanently secured until the people arc rendered compe-
tent (by some system analagous to your own) to appreciate
their inestimable qualities.
With the highest respect for your independent and patriotic
character, I am, your's truly,
ARTHUR S. WADE, D.D.

WEST INDIES.

We regret to slate that t.,e oext West India packet, the
Lyra, Lieutenant Morgan acting commander, has arrived at
Falmouth, with the following sailing dates, but brings no intel-
ligence from thence of any kimt in relation to the President
steam-ship. The Tyrian packet, however, may now be hourly
expected, as she arrived at St. Thomas's on March 22 ; and
should not anything be heard in the meantime of the ill-fated
steamer from Bermuda, or elsewhere direct, she may possibly
be more likely to be heard of by this following packet than by
any other means. The Lyra reports that some vessels had pat
into the islands in distress, dismasted in the Gulf Stream.
She sailed from Barbadoes March 8, St. Lucie and :Marti-
nique 9th, Dominique and Guadeloupe 10th, Antigua and
Montserrat 11th, Nevis and St. Kitt's 12th, Tortola 13th,
and St. Thomas's 24th, having been detained for the
arrival of the Venezuela, hired steam-packet, from the Lee-
ward, and for the Heck from the Windward, with return
mails ; left Port au Prince March 2.5 th, and Cape Henri 29th
tier advices from Jamaica are only to the 22d. Passengers—
Messrs. H. Anderson, Joseph Morgan, and Browne, R.N. ;
,on freight, about 6001. in gold. A correspondent gives us the
following scrip :—" At Martinique, the French frigate Astrea
and two brigs of war are at anchor ; at Guadeloupe, a French
brig of war. The French Admiral has visited the islands,
and the greatest anxiety prevails respecting a war with Eng-
land." We are informed that fever had been prevalent at
St. Thomas's, and several deaths had taken place. At many
of the islands the want of water was seriously felt, and f. om the
dryness of the season the crops were not looking well. The
tlingdove anchored at St. Thomas's on March 21, but on
hearing of a suspicious-looking vessel having been seen of
,he island, left the same day in chase. It will afford some
,atisfaction to learn that from the attention paid to the health
of the crew of this vessel, only one death has taken place on
board from the period of her leaving England, a space of four
years. A severe shock of earthquake was felt at St. Thomas's
on 24th March, which had created much alarm, but happily no
other ill consequence was known to have happened therefrom.
The Maltese immigrants, who had been landed at Grenada,
end were in a sad state there, are on their way back, via. New
York.
'1 he Jamaica Colonial Legislative Assembly had been pro-
rogued from March 9th to April 13th, by proclamation. The
immigrants arrived by the Robert Kerr, from Limerick, had
been nearly all engaged. Active measures were being taken
to promote the erection of a light-house on Morant Point, on
the plan of Mr. Gordon, of London. Her Majesty had been
pleased to disapprove the finding and sentence of the Court-
martial on Lieut. Findlay, by which he was ordered to be dis-
missed from her Majesty's service.
Our Correspondent from Montego Bay writes :—" The
only news of this week is comprised in the pleasing fact, that
the late severe cause of dry weather has at last ceased, and
'he neighbourhood of the town has at last been refreshed with
delightful showers for the last two days. This can have but
little effect upon the present crop, which, I much feat,
will prove in the aggregate even less than the last, but must
operate beneficially on the young plants and general prospects
of the next. This parish has suffered much from drought ;
also has Westmoreland ; but in Hanover their hopes of the
present crop are more gratifying."
From the northern part we learn that the weather conthities
on this side of the country unpropitious. The properties in
Liguanea are literally burnt up. Very little water in any
of the ponds ; the stock, in consequence, suffering, and the
prospect of next year's crop very far from being cheerful or
encouraging.
The Jamaica Despatch of March 22, says :—" Thank
God! the ' Windows of Heaven' are again opened, and the
rains have descended to nurture the parched earth !
" On Friday night, and on Saturday, this city and its neigh-
bourhood were favoured with deliciously refreshing showers.
We hope our friends in St. Elizabeth and the other parishes
have been similarly blessed.
In St. Elizabeth the sufferings of the poorer classes have
been dreadful. The rich, too, have suffered. A proprietor,
in the Santa Cruz mountains, writing to his friend, last post,
says:—' I am obliged to lock up my pumps, and give out two
or three pailsful of water a-day. We are on short allowance,
and I may manage to hold out for a week or ten days lenger.
If we have not rain by that time, God knows what we shall
do !' By this time, we hope short allowance' is no longer
necessary, and that man, the beast of the earth, and the bird
of the air, have alike cause for gratitude to an all-wise Provi-
dence for his beneficence !"
FIRE AT BLENHEIM ESTATE, ITANOVER.—We are in-
debted to an esteemed Correspondent for the following infor-
mation :
" On Monday night last, at twelve o'clock an alarm of fire
was given at the works on Blenheim estate, and it was found
to proceed from the Stoke hole-shed—in a moment, it pro-
ceeded to the shingles of the boiling-house ; within a short
period this large building was completely consumed—the
labourers of the estate as well as those of Naughton Tower,
together with persons from Lance's Bay, were exceedingly in-
defatigable in their exertions to extinguish the fire, and suc-
ceeded in saving the curing-house, which was attached to the
boiling-house ; the curing-house had in it at the time forty-
three hogsheads of sugar. The conduct of the labourers de-
serves the greatest praise. The cause of this conflagration
was purely accidental, fire having been left in the stoke hole,
communicated with the shed."
The following is from our Correspondent at St. Thomas's:—
"A. brig or brigantine arrived at St. Thomas's, on the
21st Jatinary, 1841, under jury-masts, and carrying the
Danish flag ; the name on her stern is Active. According to
common report. she was found at sea, with no person on board,
somewhere near Madeira, about the 6th of December, 1840,
by the Danish Ship Johanna Maria, Captain Christmas, from
Copenhagen, bound for Madeira, Saint Thomas's, and St.
Croix. Captain Christmas put a few hands on board of her,
and sent her to Saint Thomas's, where she arrived as stated
above. The collector of customs and other authorities toot
charge of the vessel and cargo ; the latter consisted
of dry goods, tin, iron, and other articles, which
have been landed and stored, a considerable part of the cargo
in a damaged state. It is said that the vessel was
from Liverpool, and bound for Lisbon, but no particulars
as to her have been published, nor was her artival men-
tioned in the St. Thomas's papers. The law or practice in
St. Thomas's is said to be such that Captain Christmas and
his crew will receive half the proceeds of the entire cargo, and
of the vessel, in the name of salvage. The legal and other
expenses attending the vessel and cargo at St. Thomas's will be
heavy, of course, so that the net
.proceeds may not amount to
a large sun. Captain Christmas no doubt acted as he thought
right, but it is to be regretted that he did not send her at once
to Madeira, to which place she was bound. Capt. Christmas
arrived at St. Thomas's from Madeira on the 3d, and brought
in his own ship a quantity of goods that he took from on board
the Active. Report says that he landed or sold about 5,000
dollars of the cargo of the Active at Madeira, and that he was
fined in 2,500 dollars by the authorities of that island."
Trade at Jamaica was very dull, and a general panic pre-
vailed, owing, it was said, to the state of the Maine, no traffic
being done. Exchange 97 for 1001. The three banks are re-
fusing discount.

EASTERN NEW S.
(From the Allgemeine Zeitung.)
Our correspondent from Constantinople has sent us news
down to the 7th instant. Up to that date nothing of great im-
portance had occurred. He insists, however, upon the truth
of the troubles in Kurdistan reported in his last. The move-
ment in Mesopotamia must be taken as the first symptom in-
dicating in what part of the State the next outbreak will take
place. Neither the Frankish nor the Turkish papers are
allowed to mention a syllable concerning this unforeseen and
most unwished for event. It is only known that Zekeriah
Pacha has taken the army of occupation in Syria, in forced
marches, to quell the disturbance. In the Ottoman Moniteur
he is said to be reinstated in his old Pachalic of Diarbekr.
The Porte desires to hush the matter quietly. The Russians
have perhaps as little to do with this affair as with the troubles
in Montenegro and the Morea.
Postscript. —This moment we receive other letters of the
7th. The long expected communications from London had
arrived on the sth instant, and with them the preliminary
protocol respecting the question of the Dardanelles. The
same couriers brought Baron Sturmer and Lord Ponsonby
new instructions, which threw the latter, it is said, into
a sick Led, so that the general notification in favour of Me-
hemet Ali, recommended to be made by the Ambassadors in
common, would not as yet take place. Conciliatory steps were,
however, expected from the Porte, and the more so that since
the last change of Ministers, every one in the divan and se-
raglio is more favourably disposed towards the Pacha of Egypt.
On the other hand, the dismissal of Redschid Pacha has so
frightened the greater number of the Franks in the service of
the Porte, that they 'are thinking of resigning. Javer Pacha
(Walker) has already sent in I,2is resignation.
A letter from the -Crimea, date,: 3d April, says that no vio-

the inhabitants continues, and the commicement of serious
troubles is constantly apprehended.
A Correspondent at Semlin writes to the
iltrgsti,,:rg Ga-
zette, on the 12th inst.—" Baron de Lieven left Belgrade
the day before yesterday. The day before Prince Michar:
had addressed a proclamation to his subjects on the
political occurrences of the last few years, and parti-
cularly an amnesty granted by him to several voluntary
exiles of distinction. The most important passages of
this document are—' Agreeably to an understanding with
the Ottoman Porte, I have taken the necessary mea-
sures for restoring to their country a certain number of
Servians who have gone into voluntary exile in consequence of
the events of latter years. They shall henceforth enjoy the
protection of the laws; and such of them as before their exile
held public functions may apply to me for their reinstatement.
Let the past be buried in oblivion. But whoever in future
shall be detected in secret intrigues or machinations against the
State shall be punished with all the rigour of the law."
A Correspondent of the Constitutionnet at Corfu writes on
the Ist instant, that the session of the lonian Parliament, which
had been opened on the Bth ult., had been closed by the dis-
solution of the Legislative Assembly, as soon as the civil, crimi-
nal, commercial codes, and the code of the proceedings had
been passed. The island of Cephalonia had se.nt a petition,

Laws stated, that in consequence of this note he had de-
sired his wife to attend to the appointment, and that be ac-
companied her at a distance of about 20 or 30 yards; that
he saw Mr. Waters approach his wife and converse with
her three or four minutes, but was not sufficiently near to
hear what was said.
Mrs. Laws, on being examined, stated that she bad
never known Mr. Waters till the evening of the 18th of
July, when she met him accompanied by her husband,
who did not leave her more than an arm's length, and
could hear all that was said. Mrs. Laws' mother, Mrs
Bedard, contradicted her, and swore that her daughter
had lived in the town nearly all her life, and that the knew
Mr. Waters well as the minister of St. Gecrge's.
Mr. Palmer frequently urged his objection to the ad-
mission of hearsay evidence, which was gone into and fiefs
use made of private communications. A number of letters
written to and by the Bishop were produced and read.
Af,er the most extraordinary examinations of these wit-
nesses, whose evidence was exceedingly conflicting, Mrs.
Tuthill, a woman living in the same row with complainant,
was examined, and proved nothing. Mr. G. Bateman
deposed to having applied to Laws respecting the notes
alleged to having beer. dropped into Mr. Laws' basket,

relative of Laws to interfere, to acquit Mrs. Laws of any
improper conduct.
The Court adjourned ebout four o'clock for one hour,
during which time the Commis,iiners were in consulta-
tion. On re-admission to the Court the Chairman ad-
dressed the public as follows :—" As one of the Commis-
sioners appointed, I read the report which they make of the

FINANCIAL STATE OF MEXICO.
MEXICO, FEB. 24.—1 bare been wandering for some
years past amongst these new States of America, and am
now in what is called the Republic of Mexico. I have
no motive for decrying the people of the country; on the
contrary, I have received the greatest kindness and civility
from all those with whom I have become acquainted. Ge-
nerally speaking, the Mexicans arc worthy of a better lot
than teey are at this moment doomed to suffer from their
ignorant and incapacitated rulers, but they arc not possessed
of daring or perseverance to face their oppressors ; all
their revolutions are beaded and conducted by three or
four corrupt military leaders, who, for the sake of gain
in plunder or promotion, are at all times ready to sacri-
nce the well-being of the community to their own views.
My chief object in occupying myself in this communi-
cation is, to warn my fellow-countrymen against the
cunning of the present Rulers of Mexico, in order
that they may not fall unconsciously into the snare
that is laid for them. Mexico possesses more ac-
tual wealth, and means of meeting the demands upon her,.
than any other of the 6-decant Spanish colonies ; but
these means arc neither honestly collected nor applied ;
this applies especially as regards the English creditor. I
have reed with surprise in an English newspaper. as eu-
logy on the conduct of our Minister of Finance, Don X.
Echevaria, for the answer he gave to our worthy repre-
sentative, Mr. Pakenham's note of the 15th of Septem-
ber last, relative to the British claims, both of which
,re published in The Sun newspaper of the 21st of
December of last year. The attentive observer will at
Ince perceive the usual Indian cunning of Don Xavier,
who does not answer satisfactorily one single - point ad-
vanced by Mr. Pekenham as to the justice of the demands
made and the treatment received from the Mexican Go-
vernment. When Don Xavier mentions his own pocket,
he omits to give an account of the profits that he is de-
riving from his office ; his transactions are well understood
,n Mexico. These plausible letters are published in the
English Papers by the friends and agents, and p rhaps
partners, of M. Echevaria, the Messrs. Lizardi with a
view only of gain to themselves and associates, but which
have been the cause of infinite mischief to poor John Bull.
The affairs of the conversion of the Mexican loans got up
by M Quintana, the present Consul for Mexico in London,
end partner of the said I.,:zar3i, was planned and carried
intoeffe.t for the whole and solo object of their own gein.
This scheme enabled the I,izardis and Echevaria to by come
the principal buyers of Coupons, Lizardts being the agents
of the Mexican Government, and Echevaria the Minister
if Finance. They have, in feet, realised a great part of
the Coupons they bought at five per cent. discount, which
•hey bought in London at 50 and 60 per cent. discount.
Not satisfied with their rapacious gains, these same persons
have now matured a scheme for the further gulling of John
Bull, which is that of suspending the issue of Coupons, under
the pretence ih it the money will be remitted from them to
pay the dividends, when it is well known to every resident
here that such an event is impossible, and the more so now
that the duties are so enormous that no goods can be im-
ported. These endeavours on the part of Lizardi and
Echevaria, are merely for the purpose of being able to
realise the Coupons they have at a greater profit ; they
have made up some story about the country holders in
England of Mexican Bonds, which is all nonsense ; a
Fixed sum is to be paid yeerly, which cannot be paid
wine over. If paid is the custom-houses of Mexico it
cannot he expected to be paid in cash in London. This
affair has been got up in London between Lizardi and
Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, at the instigation of
Echevaria, the Minister of Finance; but what is most ex-
traordinary is, that this proposition should have been at
once admitted by the Committee of the bondholders. It
!s true that the gentlemen who compose this Committee
have no interest in the bonds, and are consequently led
entirely by the nose by Messrs. Lizardi. These infringe-
ments in the contract cannot be done unless under the
sanction of the Mexican Congress. The motives arc evi-
dent to all persons on this side the water. The only
object of Messrs. Lizardi and Echevaria is that of
enhancing the price of the Coupons they hold. The chief
of the house of Vinda de Echevaria e Vigos in this city is
Don Xavier Echevaria, our present Minister of Finance,
who now keeps his place in the Cabinet against the
wish of the whole nation. Don Xavier, has manifested
in every possible way his hatred to Englishmen, and has
even dared to slight the British Minister resident here.
" This country, which in itself is a beautiful one,
and ought to be a powerful one, is fast on the wane ;
t is now on the eve of separating into fractions.
Texas on one side, and Yucatan on the other, will glen.
funny entice other portions of the country to separate
from the centre. The liberal government adopted by
both these States will be the means of attracting a con-
siderable influx of population, which will eventually render
them wealthy and powerful nations.
" It is a matter of great regret that the greater pact of
those who have written on Mexico have done so, as it
would appear. with a view of depreciating the character
of the people. This is not my motive ;my wish is to pre-
vent John Bull from being deceived by the cunning of the
Mexican rulers, and at the same time to make apparent the
incapacity of the generality of their rulers to promote the
welfare of the nation ; which incapacity must be the more
evident to all, when I say there are not in the world such a
tractable people as the Mexicans ; and I firmly believe there
are no better soldiers, and who would be invincible were
they headed by officers well instructed and equal in bravery,
" SAMUEL SAUNDERS."

SAINTS AND SINNERS•

On the night of the 17th inst. a cock turkey and
three hen fowls were stolen from the premises of Mr.
William Mayo, farmer, of Redmarley. Information
was given to Sergeant Holloway the neat day, and he,
witl, praiseworthy alacrity, immediately set about search-
ing the houses of some suspected parties in the neigh-
bourhood. He commenced at the lodgings of a g;psy,
named EdiNa7d Priddey, where be found tl, e leg and
wing of a fowl (cooked), and a little further, under
a bed, a quantity of fresh plucked feathers tied
up in a cloth, which exactly corresponded with those
of the stolen fowls. A further investigation brought
to light the entrails of a fowl' concealed in the garden.
All this looked very suspicious, and Sergeant Hollo-
way took Priddey into custody. He then proceeded
to the domicile of one Andrew Careless, a bright or-
nament (as the sequel will prove) of the " Bible Saints,"
where he found Careless and a number of his brethren
engaged in religious worship. The Sergeant told Care-
less his business, and asked permission to search the
house. Careless told him he was very welcome to
do so if he would ca'l again when the sermon was
over, as he did not like his brethren to be dis-

..-
,urbed. Now all this appeared very well, but the Ser-
geant was not to be deceived by any such specious hypo-
crisy, and be pressed for an immediate search, which be
with difficulty obtained consent to make, and then it
was only on the condition that he would proceed noise-
lessly, lest the brethren should be disturbed. A. bread
trough first came under the inspection of the officer, in
which some flesh blood was found. The sight of the
blood freshened the scent, and being assured that he
was on the trail of the turkey, he hailed the old man
with, " Holt)! old chap, [what an irreserent address to
a saint how do you account for this ?" " Oh,"
said he, " it's been there some time." " Nay"
,
rejoined the sergeant, " touch it with your finger,
and I think you'll find it will stain." The old
fox did as he was told, and the blood stained his flesh.
The sergeant next overhauled an adjoining room, and
soon discovered a turkey, plucked and drawn, minus its
head, legs, and wings. " What do you say to this, old
boy 2" raid the cruel sergeant. " Why," replied the
saint, now traesformed into a regular old sinner, " I'm
done, I'm done." " Yes," was the reply, and I'm
done if I don't soon have the rest of the fowls." The old
rogue declared that he was only concerned in the abstrac-
tion of the turkey ; but the gipsy, seeingthat the game was
up, at once confessed that he, a son of Careless, and a navi-
gator of the name of Williams, had stolen the fowls, and
broueht them to the old man's house. He (Priddey) had
a fowl for his share, and the feathers, &c., found in his
house belonged to it. The active officer then pro-
ceeded to Williams's house, and took him into custody ;
but he has not yet been able to trace young Careless.
ThR parties were all taken before the Rev. C. Dunne,
at Upton, on Monday ie'nnight, where they made a
full confession, and were committed to take their trial
at the Sessions, Careless is, we understand, a man of
some property.—Worcestershire Chronicle.
