PROTESTANT IMIUNITIES IN

A.UST.RIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 10th imit. contains an
" Imperial Patent relative to the internal constitu-
tion, school and educational affairs, and political
position of the Protestant Chumh (Lutheran and
Calvinist) in the Kingdoms of Hungary, Croatia,
and Sclavonia." The official document being of
the highest importance, we subjoin a compiled
analysis of it :
Paragraph 1. The representation and administration of
the Evangelical Church, as vain of the Augsburg as of the
Helvetic Confession, shall, as in olden times, have three
foundations. These shall be parochial, " districtual," and
" superinteitdential" coremunities.
2. The organs of chwich government shall be the Pres-
bytery and the local Assembly (Konvent) for the parochial
communities ; the Cc nsistory of Elders of the Assembly of
Elders for the districtual communities ; and the Supenn-
tendential Conventi.on. and Superintential Assembly for the
superintendential chmmunities. The supreme authorities for
the superintenderhcies of both confessions shall be the Ge-
neral Conferences, and the Synod.
3. Whenever the members of these ecclesigstical assem-
blies are callee 4 on to give a vote they are to follow their
own conviction, and not to consider themselves bound by
the instrao.ions received from their constituents.
4. The right of superintendence will be exercised by the
Imperial, authorities in the usual legal manner, " unless the
Emperor should on particular occasions make exceptions."
A de,partment, with employes who shall be members of the
onr, or other confession, shall be formed in the Ministry for
Ficclesiastical Affairs.

5. The Consistory of Elders and the Superintendential
' Consistory are to be the lower ecclesiastical courts, and the
General Conference of the superintendencies of the one or
other confessioi is to form a higher court. A supreme
evangelical consistory will be established as soon as the
Emperor has received the opinions of the various superin-
tendents on the subject.
6. As soon as the Protestant ecclesiastical courts are esta-
blished the Imperial authorities will cease to have right of
jurisdiction in matrimonial matters.

7. Until laws relative to are published by the
synods of the two confessions those now in use are to remain
in force.

8. It will at some future time be determined what fees
are to be paid to the ecclesiastical authorities.
9. In all matters of discipline the protestant clergy are
to be subject to the ecclesiastical authorities ; but such
matters ascontracts,debts, inheritance, &c., must be referred
to the civil courts.

10. If a clergyman is arrested for a misdemeanour or
crime, notice of the fact must, without delay, be given to the
superintendent whom it may concern. When sentence is
passed by a civil court on a clergyman the circumstance
must also be made known to the superintendent. . .

11. The right of the crown to superintend the protestant
schools is to be exercised by members of Gne or other of the
two protestant confessions. Should a school become morally
or politically pernicious, the police of the district and a re-
presentative of the superintendency are to examine into the
matter, and, in case of need, to close the school.
12. The protestant schools are for the future to be under

the directiOn and inspection of their ecclesiastical organs.
13. Protestant children are bound to study all the secular
subjects taught in Roman Catholic schools. No books can
be used in protestant schools which have not been approved
by the general conference and by the Ministry for F.cclesias-
tic,al affairs.

14 and 15. The head master is responsible to the Impe-
rial authorities for the state of his school. Any seminary
in which the prescribed subjects are taught can lay claim
to the rank and title of a public school.
16. If a Protestant school is established at the expense
of the state only Protestant teachers can be employed in it.
Paragraphs 17, 18, and 19 treat of the qualifications ne-
cessary for teachers, and of their rightsto grant certificates.
20. The different Protestant communities have a right
to acquire property in any and every legal way.
21. Moneys bequeathed for the establishment of founda-
tions are not to be employed in any other way.
22. Disputes as to the employment of Church and school
property and donations to be settled by the ecclesiastical
authorities.
23. The two Protestant confessions shall—in the sense of
par. 10 of article 26 of the synodal propositions made in the
year 1791—manage their own church, school, and "foun-
dation" property; but the Ministry for Ecclesiastical
Affairs shall, if necessary, be atliberty to inspect the books,
accounts, &c.
Paragraphs 24 and 25 need no notice.
26. The Lutherans are to have superintendencies at
Pesth, Presburg, Oedenburg, Eperies, Szarvas, and Neu-
Verbasz, and the Calvinists at Pesth,Comorn, Papa, Sasos-
Patak, Debreczin, and Neu-Szivacz.
The paragraphs from 27 to 30 treat of matters of inferior
importance.
31. Each parish has a right "freely to elect" its own
rector, vicar, and schoolmaster.
The paragraphs from 32 to 41 treat of matters of detail.
42. The general conference of either confession, which is
to be formed of the representatives of the different superin-
tendencies, is to meet periodically in order to discuss mat-
ters of general interest ; but it is neither to interfere with
the synod nor with the authority of the superintendencies.
43. Either confession can hold a synod once in six years.
All the laws made by the synod will require the Laiperia
sanction.
Paragraph 44 treats of the convocation of the synod.
45. The sittings of the ecclesisastical authorities arello%
to be publio.

LONDIN NO MYTH.—A correspondent, writing
to a contemporary, says—ln your impression of yesterday
is a Paragraph headed " Which is the Liar ?" In reply to
that question I unhesitatingly state "R. E. S." On the
4th of July last, in company with a friend now in Man-
chester, T sawM. Blondin cross the river Niagara on a tight
rope about a quarter of a mile below the falls. This feat
was cleverly accomplished in the presence of from 2,000 to
3,000 persons.—l am, &c., E. BOWYER.
AN ATTACK BY HORNETS.—Last week Mr. John
Luff, from the establishment of Mr. Thomas Berry, wine
merchant, of Brighton, was attacked at Lodsworth by a
number of hornets. By wrapping his clothes about his
neck, and fighting with his hands, he defended himself
from them, but the venomous flies stung the pony from
head to tail with great violence, and made him frantic with
pain. The pony is still suffering from the effects of the
venom.— West
