THE USE OF A BIBLE.

. One Israel Reed, a native of Russia, but -speaking
good English, obtained permission to visit a reading
and missionary class, and became a model of punc-
tuality in his attendance. The chaplain presently
discovered that twelve bibles had been removed from
the bookcase, and suspicion being directed to Mr.
Reed, that searcher after the truth was 'found by a
policeman with six bibles upon him. His object
being apparently the instruction and improve-
ment of a Whitechapel pawnbroker, Israel
was brought before the police magistrate. He
had pawned the six other bibles, and pleaded poverty
as his excuse. Mr. Woolrych gave the rascal four
months. This little incident is instructive. The
bibles were 'marked " Naval and Military Bible
Society," and it must have been pretty clear to the
pawnbroker that they were stolen. There is many a
pawnbroker who makes his living by receiving stolen
goods, and, in spite of the Act against this offence,
he carries on his trade with impunity because th-,re
is no prosecutor.

REMARKS,

The diminution in barometrical pressure noticed yesterday afternoon
has continued during the night over Great Britain, but on the Irish
coast a slight rise is shewn during the last twelve hours. Readings are
now comparatively low in the north, being about half an inch less
than those on the French coast. The change in temperature has
been considerable on the S. and E. coasts-13 deg. in London. In
the W. it is nearly unchanged. During the night a gale set in on the
W. coast : it began from the N.W. at midnight at Ardrossan and at
Brest. Strong S.W. winds were felt in Ireland, where westerly winds
are still blowing ; but at the entrance of the Channel moderate N.W.
winds are reported, while in the S.E. a strong S.W. wind is felt. The
weather, which appears very unsettled, ie cloudy, and rain is falling
in the south. The sea is disturbed in the English Channel. Warnings
to all coast!.

THE NATAL DIFFICULTY.

" Another Subscriber " writes to the Times on the
subject of the S. P. C. K. grant, to answer Mr.
Fitz Roy, who has stated that he " carefully refrained
from introducing the thorny question of the legal
position of Bishop Colenso both in the terms of his
motion and his speech in bringing it before the
board." The letter points out that this very question
underlies the whole matter, and the writer wishes to
know what Mr. Fitz Roy and his supporters mean by
such expressions as the " church in the diocese
of Natal," " the church committee of that
diocese," and "the Dean of Pieter-Maritzburg."
If he means the individuals in the colony
who repudiate the authority of Dr. Colenso,
and. if by the Dean he means Mr. Green who was
deprived of the title I,y Bishop Colenso, then
" Another Subscriber" says that the whole matter is
a defiance of the Queen's supremacy. He even goes
so far as to say, that should Mr. Green use the title
of which he is deprived, to obtain money payable to
the Dean of Pieter-Maritzburg, he is an impostor,
and might be indicted for obtaining money under
false pretences. Should the Natal question descend
to a criminal court, after having been honoured by
the attention of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, it will be a fall indeed.

NO DINNER AND NO REPORT.

Though the report of the dinner given to Field-
Marshal Burgoyne appears in the Times, it is not in
all the London papers. The convivial Advertiser was
forgotten. The editor chuckles over the fact that
the ancient glories of the Mansion House will in
" less than three short weeks" be restored. This
allusion to the short interval before the " cakes and
ale " will be again unstinted has .all the gushing
enthusiasm of a schoolboy, counting the days before
the holidays. Lord Mayor Allen must have resolved
to make as many enemies as possible, and he has
been pretty successful.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND

EDUCATION.

The foundation-stone of St. Chad's College, Denstone,
north Staffordshire, was laid on Thursday by the Rev.
Canon Lonsdale, in the unavoidable absence, through
illness, of the Marquis of Salisbury. This is to be one of
those great middle-class schools of which several have
already been founded in Sussex. The ceremony, which
was of a simple character, was attended by a large number
of the clergy and leading families of the district, and subse-
quently about 500 ladies and gentlemen sat down to lun-
cheon in a marquee erected on the site, under the presi-
dency of Mr. Woodard. Amongst the toasts drunk was
that of "The Trustees," to which Mr. Hubbard, M.P.,
responded. The hon. gentleman took occasion to
remark that it was a delusion to suppose that a reli-
gious education could be given apart from denomina-
tionalism. Education, to be effective must be conducted
by sincere and earnest men, and he had the fullest confi-
dence that the schools founded by Mr. Woodard would be
conducted honestly and fearlessly in accordance with the
doctrines, the formularies, and the articles of the Church
of England. "The health of Mr. Woodard" was pro-
posed by the Earl of Shrewsbury -and Talbot, who said
that since he had ceased to be amenable to a constituency
he hid felt a singular sense of freedom, and he begged to
assure all present that he had the fullest confidence in the
sound churchmanship of the promoters of these great
schools. Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., gave "The Local
Committee" in a characteristic speech, in the course of
which he said these schools were the best-abused institu-
tions in England, and if they were not already a power
in the land—if Mr. Woodard was not doing a good
work by means of them—people would not be so ready
to abuse them, and tell all sorts of lies respecting them ;
just the kind of lies which are only to be met with in
strictly religious periodicals. He would venture to say
that the Church had not yet put forth all her strength
and power, and that, great as she was, and great as her
works had been, she was only beginning her glorious
history, for her mission was to teach the world the spirit
and the practice of primitive Christianity. She had a
great future before her. But because she was great and
good was no reason why she should be despoiled. It seemed
to him that of all extraordinary perversions of logic
which man's intellect had ever played, there was none
so extraordinary and wonderful as for men of piety and
religion to get up and say that such and such an institu-
tion did a good work, that such and such an institution
fulfilled all its obligations to heaven and earth, and there-
fore that in the name of heaven and earth it ought to be
stripped of all it had that its virtues might be more appa-
rent. That seemed to him to be very bad logic, but very
good brigandage. If ever the Church of England were'
disestablished and disendowed, he had the firm conviction
that Mr. Woodard's schools would be one of her strongest
supports.

RITULALISM.

Like Mug Oates, who invented plots when they;
(lid not come fast enough, those who have set them-
selves the task of hunting down Ritualists are not
particular as to the game. Unfortunately for
•them, it is pretty evident that sonic of them have not
been 311 the habit of attending church till this duty
ealled them there, and when they lose their places in
the Prayer-book they immediately suspect Popery.
A visitor at Scarborough missed the State prayers
at St. Martin's Church one Sunday morning, and wrote
off in hot haste to expose a harmless curate in the
pillory of the Times columns. -He had forgotten
that these prayers are appointed to be said when the
Litanyis not used, and that the Litany as read in the
afternoon. He missed the collect for the Sunday,
not heeding that the collect for St. Luke's Day was
used instead. The . curate protests against the
attempt to gibbet a simple service as an exti ime one.
Mr. Purches, of St. James's Chapel, 33...:ght0n,
claims to be a peacemaker. He says that the Low
Church party appealed to him to Iv r 61:3 !.-

they" demanded a vivitation of St. James's Chapel, to
aboYch, if possible, the poor remains of Rituid that I
had retained—viz., a pair of candlesticks and a dozen

this proposal, and visited all the Brightol mid Hove

A visitor at Scarborough missal the State prayers

claims to be a peacemaker. He says that the Low
