ECHOES FROM THE BACKWOODS ; OR, SKETCHES OF
TRANSATLANTIC LIFE. BY CAPTAIN LEVINGE.—This is
one of the pleasantest books of travels we have road for many
a day—full of curious facts, vivid Impressions, judicious re-
marks, and well-told stories; the style clear and animated;
the tone, liberal, frank, and unreserved as if the writer felt
that, with gentlemanlike habits and a cultivated taste, he
might fearlessly tell all he thought on any subject. Captain
Levinge (the son of a wealthy Baronet) sees everything that
is to be seen, and shoots at, or angles for everything that is
to be killed or caught (from a moose or salmon to a colonial
beauty); in or about the Canadas ; races (to use his own ex-
pression) through the United States, rifle, rod, sketch-book,
or note-book, in hand; tries most kinds of transatlantic life.
including a fortnight in the bush; and seems to seize intui-
tively on the traits or incidents best fitted to throw light on
manners or convey a lively impression of a scene.—Ezaminer
INDELIBLE ORDERS.—The case of the Rev. Mr. Shore
has brought up again the curious question of the indelibility
of orders; but there seems some difficulty to know what or-
ders are indelible, and by what virtue they are so. Mr.
Shore is " a priest in holy orders " of the Church of Eng-
land, and therefore by the canon law he is subject to the
Bishop, and he cannot secede. Mr. Shore was the
minister for some ten years of an unconsecrated and
unendowed chapel, built by the Duke of Somerset in
the parish of Berry Pomeroy. The Duke was willing
to endow the chapel, provided he retained the patronage.
Two successive incumbents agreed to Mr. Shore's
ministry, but a third refused to permit him unless the
chapel were endowed and the patronage vested in the in-
cumbent. Hereupon the Duke turned the chapel into a
Dissenting meeting-house, and licensed it under the Tolera-
tion Acts; and hereupon Mr. Shore took the oaths as a
Dissenting minister. The Bishop prosecutes him in the
Arches Court; and, because orders are indelible, he is pre-
vented from becoming a Dissenter. But now the question
arises as to Mr. Newman, Mr. Ward, and all the other
seceders to Rome ? Were not their orders indelible ? Could
not they be prohibited by the Arches Court? We can fancy
the enormous hubbub about "liberty of conscience," which
the whole corps of Popery in the House of Lords, the House
of Commons, at the press and elsewhere, as they swarm
through the land, would raise, if the " seceders to Rome" were
assailed in the Arches Court, and imprisoned for contempt
because they exercised their liberty of going to Rome.—
Statesman.
STORM AT WINDSOR.—A very violent storm of thun-
der and lightning, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain,
passed over this town, between two and three o'clock yester
day afternoon, in a south-easterly direction. The lightning
was accompanied by peals of thunder awfully loud and alarm-
ing. During the whole of yesterday morning the heat was far
more oppressive than it bad been experienced for the past
month, the thermometer in the royal gardens at Frogmore,
standing at 93 deg. in the shade.
DRUMMING OUT.—The amusing proceedings con-
nected with dnimming out" an incorrigible scamp from the
honourable ranks of the 37th, was gone through this week at
the Newport Barracks, and caused much fun to the company
few regrets to the escaped man, and great merriment to the
lookers -on.—lktonmolithshire
