forced open a locked bedroom door, and by removing a slido
in a chest of drawers succeeded in abstracting from a locked
drawer immediately underneath the slide £2OO. They got
safe off.

The Nottingham Guardian publishes a letter from
the Under Sheriff of the county, which it says "most com-
pletely disproves Mr. Denison's charge against the High
Sheriff, of partiality in the discharge of his office, by making
the arrangements for the county elections in order to favour
a party."
At the Salford Town llall on Tuesday, before Mr.
Trafford, a young Irishman, named James Durkin, was com-
mitted for trial at the assizes, for personating a voter during
the late election contest in the borough. Another youth,
under age, who had attempted to personate his own father
was discharged.

There was a desperate riot at Barnsley on Tuesday
by which about twenty persons were injured. There were
about 15,000 pcoplo in the market place jostling the police
about. The police had to draw their cutlassks, and several
persons were severely hurt. The superintendent telegaphed
to Wakefield and 54 armed men arrived by train. The riot
act was read.
'I he Pall Mall Gazette believes that the announce-
ment made in the Telegraph as to the new Cabinet are in
accordance, in some important particulars, with the agree-
ment previou sly come to. It also understands that there
aro gocd grounds for the presumption that Mr. Bright will
consult both his own independence and the interests of the
new Government by remaining ono of its unofficial sup-
porters.

KICKING A BISHOP.—The late Dr. Blomfield had
a quarrel with au Essex rector—paper war and so forth
between the parties. The rector called at London House,
and the interview was not of a very calm description.
The Bishop, in the heat of the debate, kept eddyin4
his chair nearer to that of the Essex rector, who at last
said, "My lord, if you come any nearer, I'll kick your
shins."

It was recently stated that a working painter at
Worcester, named Albert, had picked up for £4 or .£5 a
picture (" Christ bearing his Cross"), about which there had
been a great deal of excitement, and that he had sold it to a
Worcester tradesman for 700 guineas. A contemporary
now says that the present owner. of the picture—a Mr.
Milton, a grocer—has been offered .£1,500 for it. Mr. Milton
has refused the offer, which, we are told, was made on be-
half of a wealthy nobleman.

Lord Amberley having been written to with a view
of eliciting his op.nio non the question of Sunday evening
lectures, his lordship has replied that ho does not wish to
open all places of amusement on Sunday. The object he
sought to obtain by the Sunday Lectures Bill is fully
secured by the decision of Mr. Justice Pyles, of the Com-
mon Pleas, in the case of Baxter v. Langley. That decision
establishes the legality of the lectures and sacred music
which Lord Amberley asked the Commons to sanction. No
further need ca❑ now exist of appealing to Parliament to
sanction the delivery of lectures accompanied by sacred
music.

The Church News remarks that the S. Alban's
case is before the Privy Council. Cn neither side are the
arguments new, though Mr. James put some old arguments
—such for example as those contained in the prefaces to the
Directorium Anglicanum, in a new light. Dr. Stephens
avoided anything prolate and was insufferably dull, and Dr.
Deane had evidently not taken the trouble to get up the
case. The Archbishop of York, from time to time, pre-
tended to know something about it, but his pretensions were
self-evident assumptions. Lord Westbury's remarks wcrc'
always pointed and pertinet.t.

We (Northern Express) regret to have to record the death
of Captain Coulson, R.N., which sad event occurred on
Tuesday morning, at his residence, Newbrough, The

been ailing for some time, and the death of his brother, the
