DR. LINGARD.

It was a good custom of chivalrous days, and it is stil I
observed by brave men who fight under respectively hos-
tile banners, to do honour to an adversary who had dealt
his blows as became an honest man. In the hour of victory,
the triumphant champion complimented the vanquished
on his valour. In the hour of death, the survivors
did full justice to the enemy whose arm could no
longer wield a trenchant blade. We adopt with
alacrity this example set us by belted knights and gal-
lant soldiers, while wo announce with regret the demise
of one who, for being a servant of tho Pope, was not the
less true-hearted an Englishman; and who, in support-
ing a cause which he considered worthy of support,
never stooped to mendacity in order to strengthen it.
Whatever his opinions may have been, he maintained
them with the spirit of a Christian gentleman. He
neither stooped to recommend violence by faintly dis-
praising it, nor instigated to the assassination of those
in high places by denouncing them as enemies of God
and of his alleged vicar upon earth. If he felt strongly,
he also felt, spoke, and act fairly. His very impartiality,
perhaps, was the cause of the little honour paid him by
his merely political co-religionists. But, be this us
it may, his name and reputation belong now to
all Englishmen in common. Wo should as little
think now, even in our character of Churchmen, of de-
nouncing the late Dr. Lingard for his particular opinions,
as we should, in our position us Royalists, of casting dirt
upon Milton for his Republicanism. Over the grave of a
worthy antagonist we have no desire to hold in me-
mory anything but his virtues. If all living Papists,
who survive to carry on the warfare of the Court
of Rome against the Queen and our Church, were to
fuliow the example bequeathed to them by Dr. Lingard,
there would be more respect for them than they can now
lay claim to. He cared for no boon but that which the
British constitution, jealous for the healthy freedom of
all, willingly awarded. To obtain more lie would not
have descended to suggest to the ear of fanaticism
that there were worse crimes in the world than the
mere slaying a heretical sovereign. He was not the
man to write mock sentiment about his " beloved Sove-
reign," and put forth anonymous treason betraying a
heart that would rejoice in that Sovereign's assassina-
tion. He was English-born and English-bred; and,
whatever political Papists may think of him, there is riot
a true Englishman living who would refuse to do justice
to the ♦enerable Romanist who now sleeps wit:l,in the
grave at St. Cuthbert's College, Ushaw.—Church and
State Gazette.

DEPARTURE OF THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP CITY OF
MANCHESTER ON HER FIRST VOYAGE TO PHILADELPHIA
The splendid new screw steam-ship City of Manchester, W.
0. Campbell, commander, sailed hence on Saturday morning,
on her first voyage to Philadelphia. She left her dock on
Friday evening, shortly after seven o'clock, came to an snchor
until the ensuing morning off the Magazines, and at 6 A.I.
weighed anchor and proceeded to sea; arriving off the Bell
Buoy at 7 15, A. 31 , having run the distance, against a flood
tide, in an hour and twenty minutes. She carried no fewer
than 179 passengers, with a fair cargo of fine goods, and in
this respect, at least, her first trip cannot but be regarded as
most successful. She is the largest screw steam-ship now
sailing out of the port of Liverpool, and will doubtless make
a quick run out to the United States. The City of Man-
chester lay in the NeNm Dock, and had several hundred
visitors, by whom she was greatly admired.—Liverpool

BRISTOL ANNUAL GREAT MARKET AND COLT FAIR.
—This celebrated market and fair was held on Thursday at
the Cattle Market, Temple Meads, Bristol, when there was a
very numerous attendance of dealers and breeders from some
distances in the surrounding country. There was a good
show of horses, more particularly of two-year-old colts, and
although the sale was not very brisk, many changed hands
at full prices. Beeves and sheep were not quite in as large
supply as usual, but the prices of the previous week ruled.
Fat beef brought from 425. to 50s. per cwt., and fat mutton
from 4id. to 51d. per lb.

UTILITY OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—On Sa•
tarday a striking incident occurred illustrative cf the superi-
ority of the electric telegraph over the semaphore system
which heretofore formed the sole means of communication be-
tween the Mersey and Holyhead. Shortly before five o'clock,
about 4.45 r. 31., the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, whose
arrival was anxiously expected, arrived off the Head ; and in
ten minutes, although the Electric Telegraph officers' quarters
at Holyhead are far remote from the mountain whereon the
semaphore stands, and not in a situation to enable them to ob-
serve ships for themselves, the announcement was posted in the
Exchange-newsroom in Liverpool ; having traversed a circuit-
ous route via Chester and Crewe. Some ime elapsed ere the
marine telegraph dispatched its report to the rooms. Several
instances have also recently occurred in which, whilst the
marine telegraph has been rendered valueless by fogs and
mists, &c., the electric wires have kept the frequenters of
the 'Change au courant on nautical poiuts.—Liverpool Albion.
DEATH UPON THE STAGE.—During the perform-

perform-
ance of Jack Sheppard, at the St. Louis Theatre, on the 6th
a large fiat iron, suspending a lamp from the ceiling, slipped

and in a moment fell dead 'upon the stage, which was soon
covered with her blood. Of
course the performance was im-
mediately suspended and the money returned. Mrs. Shea
came to America as Miss K

of Stephen Kemble andmble, and is the granddaughter
grandniece of the famous Mrs. Sid-
dons. Her husband
is at present in New Orleans.— Toronto

COD FISHING. _An immense quantity of very
superior cod has been brought ashore here since the com-
mencement of the present month. Several boats have now
and then landed from 250 to 300 at a time, and takes vary-
ing from 100 to CO2 have been common. On Saturday one
of our fishermen brought to this office a cod measuring 30
inches in length, and having a proportionate breadth. An-
other informs us that he took 28 fine herrings from the sto-
mach of one cod.—Northern Ensign.
