The following letter has been addressed to the editor of a morning
paper :
Sir,—Even at this time it is well to contradict a statement 'Mitch
has often been made, and to which yeti have erroneously given
currency in your notice of the life of Sir Edward Codringtem. I
ref.r to tke story of •• Go it, Ned
There is not one word of truth, or the semblance of tenth in It
it could not have been by personal communication, for Sir Edward
Codrington sailed from England in February, 1527, and the secret
trea'y fur the pacification of Greece was not even s,,rtied in London
till the July Yellowing ; and I have heard my father state to every
inquirer that there was not a shadow of foundation for it in any one
expression, letter, or communication whatever to him.
That correspondence has been read by very many who well know
the entire story is a fabrication ; it may have had its object at the
time, but is, nevertheless a mere untruth. I will request you to
publish this.

Tour obedient servant, '
W. J. CODBINGTON, Colonel.

MORE EXPECT ED SECESSIONS TO TEE CRIIRCII OF
ROME.—We
understand that Dr. Wiseman and others, who
are privileged to be in the secret coancils of Puseyism, state
without reserve that many more clergymen are on the eve
of seceding from the Anglican Church, and becoming " re-
conciled" to the Church of Rome. We also learn, from
what we consider good authority, that before many weeks
have elapsed, possibly in the course of a few days, we shall
hear:of several more instances of Tractarian Members of the
House of Commons joining the Romish communion. Two,
if not three, Irish representatives, the roundness of whose
Protestantism, until of late, was never doubted, are among
those who are expected to throw themselves immediately
into the arms of Popery.--ilcirertiser.
