Teue3reuse went off with the lead, and was never
headed. Miss Jane laid second to nearly the last turn-
ing, when she was caught by Genevieve and Fleur-de-
Marie. From a little beyond the distance there was a
good race between Tenebreuse, Genevieve, and Fleur-
de-Marie, but the former won by about half a length.
On none of the races was there any betting.

AN EXAMPLE FOR THE BISHOP OF
EXETER.

How different from the conduct of Dr. Phillpotts
was that of the venerated Dr Trench, the last Arch-
bishop of Tuam, towards a candidate for ordination,
who held opinions akin to those of Mr. Gorham. A
person of rare talents and devotedness offered him-
self for ordination to the excellent Archbishop in
1832. He had some scruples respecting the word
" regenerate" in the baptismal service, and the
Archdeacon who examined him, declared that he
could not recommend him for ordination in conse-
quence. But how did the Archbishop act ? The young
man had taken his seat in the church, not expecting
to be admitted to the ministry, but was sent for by
the Archbishop, and what followed is thus described
by the candidate himself :—" I met his Grace at the
cathedral door. He opened it and beckoned me to
follow him. When we came into the open
porch, he said to me, with tears in his eyes, My
young friend, it grieves me sorely to see your
prospects thus blighted. We have only a few minutes
to spare ; but I feel it my duty to ask you what are
the nature of your objections, and also to endeavour to
remove them if I can.' I instantly answered, May
it please your Grace, I cannot consistently with my
opinions teach that water baptism is ipsofacto regene-
ration: that your only objection ?' replied his
Grace. If so, 1 can at once set your mind at rest on
that head. Ido not hold water baptism to be rege-
neration any more than yourself. But you must re-
collect, my young friend,' added the Archbishop,' that
the venerable compilers of our Liturgy never could
compose a service for the unconverted. The language
of the baptismal service, then, is not positive and abso-
lute, but the language of charity, hope, and faith ; and
as such you are bound to receive and use it. Is this
explanation satisfactory ?" Yes, your Grace,' I re-
plied, perfectly so.' Then,' said the good man, his
face beaming w►th benevolence, 'run into the vestry,
put on your surplice, and join the others to be er-
dained.' "

AC TRESSES RAISED by MARRIA GE
The first person among the "gentry" who chose a
wife from the stage was Martin Folkyes, the anti-
quary, a man of fortune, who, about the year 1713,
married Lucretia Bradshaw, the representative of
Farquhar's heroines. A contemporary writer styles
her " one of the greatest and most promising genii of
her time," and assigns " her prudent and exemplary
conduct" as the attraction that won the learned anti-
quary. The next actress whose husband moved in
elevated rank was Anastasia Robinson, the singer.
The great Lord Peterborough, the hero of the Spanish
war, the friend of Pope and Swift, publicly acknow-
ledged Anastasia as his Countess in 1735. In four years
after, the Lady Henrietta Herbert, daughter of
James first Earl of Waldegrave, and widow of Lord
Edward Herbert, bestowed her hand on James
Beard, the performer. Subsequently, about the
middle of the eighteenth century, Lavinia Bestweck,
the original Polly Peachum, became Duchess of
Bolton. The next on record was Miss Linley's mar-
riage with Sheridan, one of the most romantic episodes
in theatrical unions ; and, before the eighteenth cen-
tury closed, Elizabeth Farren, a perfect gentlewoman,
became Countess of the proudest Earl in England, the
representative of the Stanleys. She was Lord Derby's
second consort, and mother of the present Countess
of Wilton. In 1807 the beautiful Miss Searle became
the wife of Robert Heathcote, Esq., brother of Sir
Gilbert Heatlacote, Bart., and in the same year
Louisa Brunton was married to the late Earl Craven.
Her son is now Earl Craven, and her niece, Mrs.
Yates, the actress, still exhibits the dramatic genius
•of the Brunton family. The Beggar's Opera again
conferred a coronet ; Mary Catherine Bolton's imper-
sonation of "Polly Peachum" captivated Lord
Thurlow. She was married to his Lordship in 1813.
In more recent times the most fascinating of our ac-
tresses, Miss O'Neill, wedded Sir William Wrixton
Beecher, Bart. ; Miss Foote, the Earl of Harrington ;
Miss Stephens, the Earl of Essex ; and Mrs. Nisbet
Sir William Boothby, Bart. It has been remarked
that the conduct of each one of these ladies in her
wedded life was unexceptionable.—Burke's Anecdotes
of the Aristocracy.
