A letter from Pesth, of August 4, says :—" I
have just learnt that the person named Turitz, who,
as I inforrued you, was arrested in consequence of
the resemblance of his name to that of General
Turr, was shot yesterday in the fortress of Komorn.
It is not known of what crime he was found guilty,
but people are indignant at the way in which he
has been condemned and executed in three days,
and without any publication of the judgment. The
coraitat of Gran has sent an address to the Emperor

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes some im-
portant laws voted by the Italian Parliament and
promulgated by the King. They are :-1. A law
authorising the expenditure of 227,000 f. for im-
provements in the port of Rimini. 2. Another ap-
plying 1,750,000 f. to the purchase of rolling-stock
for the railways worked by the State. 3. Do. for
applying 2,700,000 f. in the erection of the
Genoa railway terminus at Turin:: 4. Do. intro-
ducing the metrical system of weights and measures
throughout Italy. The names used are the same as
those employed in France. Standard weights and
measures are to be kept in every district town.
The quintale-metrico (hundred weight) is fixed at
100 kilogrammes, and the ton at 1,000 kilogrammes.
5. A law fixing an annual sum of 100,000 f. to be
applied to prizes for rifle exercise.

The .Nord of Brussels says :—" The rupture of
negotiations for pacification between Omer Pasha
and the insurgents has revived at Vienna the appre-
hensions to which the precarious situation of the
Slave-Turkish provinces had given birth. Austria
foresees a possible check to the Turkish arms, and she
fears the supportwhich the two neighbouring princi-
palities, Servia and Montenegro, appear disposed to
openly give to the insurrection, which might lead
her own Slavonian provinces into the movement.
The Austrian Government is therefore prepared to
act if required in case of a Servian or Montenegrin
intervention in Bosnia."

Henry Montagu Villiers was the fifth son of the
Hon. George Villiers, brother of the late Earl of
Clarendon. His grandmother was the eldest
daughter of Lady Jane Hyde (Countess of Essex),
the last representative of the old Clarendon family,
and ayounger son of Lord Jersey marrying her was,
in her honour, created successively Baron Hyde and
Earl of Clarenc.on. Of the lady's grandchildren.
there now survive, Lord Clarendon ; Mr. Charles
Villiers,who took a prominent part in the free-trade
controversy, and is at this moment President of the
Poor Law Board; and Lady Theresa Lewis, who is
well known both as an authoress and as the wife of
one of our foremost statesmen. Mr. Montagu
Villiers was born in London on the 4th of January,
1813. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford,
and took his degree in 1834. Shortly afterwards
he was ordained by Dr. Sumner, now Archbishop
of Canterbury, and commenced his work as a
curate in Lancashire. At this time, however,
we infer from a passage in one of his lectures
that he did not regard himself as in any true
sense worthy of his high calling. In a lecture to
the Christian young men of London he says,
" One of my earliest and dearest friends in the
ministry—one who was faithful to me before Iwo
myself in the faith—one whose memory, now that
he is entered into his rest, is most dear to me, was
a linendraper's apprentice before we were fellow-
curates together in Lancashire." The great ques-
tion which the chief admirers of Bishop Villiers
will wish to have answered—namely, when did he
come to be "in the faith ?"—it is not in our power
to solve. We can only deal with the external facts
of his life, and tell that in 1837 he was admitted
into Priest's orders ; that in the same year he was
appointed to the living of Kenilworth ; that in 1841
he was translated to the metropolitan rectory of St.
George's, Bloomsbury ; and that in 1847 he was
made a Canon of St. Paul's. It was as rector of
St. George's that he made hie reputation. He dis-
played great ability and an untiring zeal in the
management of his parish, though in cordially
acknowledging the great good which he effected
we must take into account the good which he left
undone. Mr. Villiers was the lowest of Low
Churchmen, and his style of preaching was not cal-
culated to attract men of education. He laid him -
self out for a different class. He preached to the
poor. Like most Low Churchmen, he understood
the Divine precept too literally, and preached too
uniformly to the poor in intellect as well as to the
poor in spirit and the poor in pocket. Yet, as we
cannot expect everything from a man, let us dwell
rather on what he did than upon what he could not
do. If his creed was narrow in one direction it was
wide in another. If he hated High Church doc-
trines, if ho shrank from the shadow of Roman
Catholic practices, if he told young men to avoid
theatres as an "unmixed evil," and to look well to
their steps in the ballroom,—if by that plainness of
preaching which some call " gospel simplicity," and
others, using a more slriptural phrase, " the foolish-
ness of preaching," he failed to win over men of
cultivation, yet on the other hand he worked vigor-
ously with the Dissenters; there were Dissenters
in his vestry who eagerly supported him ; he turned
the City mission to account, and with men of every
sect and stamp who belong to the so-called Evan-
gelical order he had the most ample sympathy.
No minister in London was more popular than
Mr. Villiers when in 1856 he was appointed by
Lord Palmerston to the Bishopric of Carlisle. It
was a step to a still higher promotion, for only last
year he was translated to the see of Durham. He
proved himself not less energetic in a diocese than
he had been in a parish, and there seemed to be
before him long years of useful work. Durham is
the diocese, of all others in the country, in which
the increase of population has lately been greatest,
and in which the spiritual provision has been most
deficient. Great things were expected from the
energy and tact of Dr. Villiers, and the Evangelical
party regarded with particular interest the man who
filled so princely a chair and undertook so vast a
work. His first conspicuous act in his new sphere
of labour certainly disappointed his admirers,
though his premature death will now be considered,
if not to justify, yet to excuse it; for he has died
by no means a rich man, and leaves a widow, three
daughters besides Mrs. Cheese, and two sons. How-
ever incautiously he may have acted on the occa-
sion to which we refer, he never lost the esteem of
those who knew him best; and the strong interest
which vast numbers of people, Dissenters as well as
Churchmen, have taken in his last illness is the
most eloquent of all comments upon his life and
character. Not only in his diocese but
Dissenters
of
the country, in all the large towns, D
every denomination have combined with Church-
men to offer up prayers for his recovery. Seldom
are ecclesiastical dignitaries the object of such
affectionate solicitude ; seldom is their departure
felt so universally as a great public loss.

family of the deceased, and that his personal estate bad
been sworn as under the value of £5,000. A very general
opinion was expressed by the Ni hole committee that the
knowledge of those circumstances had materially operated
to check the public subscriptions to the memorial fund)
which had in consequence been comparatively abortive. 11-..
conversation ensued as to the appropriation of the fund_
in hand, in the course of which several members of
the committee expressed themselves to the effect that,
as through the bounty of the fire offices, and from
the private fortune of the deceased himself, his widow
and family were placed above the reach of dependence, thede.
greater part, if not the whole of it, might properly be r
voted to the comfort of his aged sisters, for whose welfa
he always felt the deepest concern. The question stood
over for consideration eventually at a future meeting) O
the committee adjourned.
