A HArPT NAME.—The reverend gentleman who
figures so prominently in the case of Matairie v. Wiseman!
is called Holdstock—an appellation strongly suggestive
Three per Cents. Can it be a nick-name? If so, it is ratb'
a happy one.—Punch.
ANOTHER GORHAM CASs.—The Bishop of Exetet
has opened a new Gorham case, having refused to license
Mr. Codnor as curate, on the same grounds respecting bap'
tismal regeneration as those which occasioned the d split°
with Mr. Gorham.—Cambridge Independent Press.

THE RIOTS AT THE BARHAM UNION Housz.-011
Wednesday Henry Pring and six other paupers were con-
victed at Bury St. Edmund's of rioting at the .Barham Union
workhouse, on the 9th February, and were sentenced by Chid
Justice Jervis to twelve months' imprisonment.
The trial of Sir John Hare for an assault was yea'
terday postponed to the ensuing Middlesex Sessions, in con'
sequence of the illness of the proseeutrix.

Died, on the 25th ult., at Audnam, near Stour'
bridge, in the 78th year of his age, highly respected by his
employers and every one who knew him, John Chamberlain,
clerk in Messrs. Grazebrook's glass manufactory. His length
of service under the same employers, to whom he had ever
been an hottest, faithful, and incustrious servant, is without
parallel. He commenced his career with them in the hurnbi°
capacity of an errand boy, and by assiduity and attention
rose successively through the grades of sorter, packer, and
traveller, to be their deservedly trusted office clerk, and bad
been regularly at his desk until within a few days of his
death, having seen no less than four generations bearing the
name of " Michael Grazebrook," and after a service of more
than 70 years, he died on the very spot where he first dew'
breath. Such an example of hOnesty,
industry, and faith-
fulness, in the past may well be held up to the present pas:
ration ! Nor is this the ouly instance of long and devote'
service fostered by the good feeling that has ever existed be'
tween the Messrs. Grazeb'ook and their servants. Their
late traveller, Mr. Hughes, was with them for more than
half a century. Their late clerk, Mr. H. Jackson, born in
the same year (1773) as John Chamberlain, worthily emir
lated his example of fidelity, and after spending hie whole
life in their service, died at the age of 58. They had also al
sue time on their pension list three glasamakers, who had
been respectively 72,0 68, and 62 years in the work, and D
a few of their present servants have passed their whole live,
with the firm, and in some instances their fathers before toed'
THE CENSUS AT GLASGOW.—The estimate formed
at the census office of the number of schools in the countrf
has been far below tLe reality. The number of forms fof
day-schools sent to Glasgow at first was 800, for adult every
ing schools 500, and the same number for Sunday.ieboolsi
but it was found necessary to increase the number for dal:
schools to 1,500, for adult evening schools to 800, and for
Sunday-schools to I,ooo.—.North British Mail.
