MIL EDISIOND LEALES IN A NEW CAPACITY.

Mr. Edmond Ileales, M.A., has come forth in a
new capacity—as a preacher. On Sunday last he
delivered what is called "an able practical religious
address " to a crowded audience at Limehouse.
Taking for his text the words "Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God," he contrived to put
into his sermon his - opinion on most of the
topics of the day. He wanted, he said, a Christian
league, something after the style of the Reform
League, banded together for the purpose of spread-
ing the truths of salvation. Ile condemned the
mixing of religion with cruel laws. He spoke very
strongly against war, as being unchristian, and asked
if it were not inconsistent that the Pope, who pro-
fessed to be the representative of Him who proclaimed
peace on earth, should call together an army from all
parts of the earth. II e reproved the tendency of modern
times to make money everything; declared the Scrip-
tures to be higher than any other kind of literature, and
counselled that they should be read more. He corn-
plainedthat children were allowed to grow in ignorance,
and then punished for doing that of the wickedness of
which they had never been taught. He censured
bribery and corruption in onr parliamentary and
municipal elections ; and concluded by declaring the
teachings of the Bible to be eminently practical,
easily understood, and necessary to be followed.

ANOTIIER PEER IN DIFFICULTIES.

The series of disasters to the aristocracy is not yet
complete. Another name has just beau add«l to
those freely mentioned as in difficulties. Messr3.
reyfEs, wlpse connection with the _Duke
of Newcastle was not of the most pleasing
character, so far as his Grace w•as con-
cerned, are now having equally unpleasant
transactions with another peer. They have, it is
stated, entered an execution for ,11,000 upon tho
property of the Earl cf Westmoreland, at Apethorpe
Hall, in Northamptonshire, The Earl is known as ;ti
racing man, but 117:s certainly passed the time cf
impetuous yol-,th. He is 4.3 years of age, and is not
known as a plunger.

TR li

T:ClIBOIINE BAI:ONETCY.

It 3s stated, " on the best authority," that the
claimant to the Tichborne baronetcy and estates has
obtained such evidence as to make his case complete.'
As the " best authority " is probably sore friend of
the soi-diBant Sir Roger Tichborne. the story muat be

neeived with much caution. It is, nowever, very dis-
tinctly given forth that the vessel which .picked up
Sir Roger at Sea off Itio Janeiro. and took him natty
Melbourne harbour, has been aiscovered, and the
mate of the ship admits a clear recollection of having
handed the baronet over the side of the vessel in an
exhausted condition. The claimant has been iden-
tified by nearly every officer, non-commissioned
officer, and private in his old regiment, the 6th
Dragoon Guards, who have seen and conversed
with him. Twelve county magistrates have sworn
to his identity, in addition to the sworn evidence
of his mother and that of three of his cousins. Ile
also holds the sworn evidence of 200 of his former
friends, tenants, and servants. The other side is
quite as confident of success. They assert that the
claimant is a sailor of the name of Arthur Orton.
The Australian commission, however, will soon re-
turn, and then the cause will be ripe for hearing.
