THE BISHOP OF EXETER v.
ROYALTY.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The mild and tolerant Bishop of Exeter, in his letter to
Mr. H. M. PhiHipps, very kindly consigns to the uncove-
nanted mercies of God all those who have not been in-
troduced into the true Church, i.e. the Church of Eng-
lamd, by the rite of baptism, through the medium of
men episcopally ordained. Now the Bishop, if he really
believes his own doctrine, is placing in an exceedingly
awkward position two illustrious members of our royal
family, Prince Albert and the Queen Dowager. We
suppose these royal and excellent personages were bap-
tised by Lutheran clergymen, whose ordination is not,
Episcopal, and that they have not been rebaptised in
England; they, therefore, are not included in the cove-
nant of mercy! Prince Albert may be exemplary in all
the relations of life; the Queen Dowager may give " all
her goods to feed the poor," and to build churches and
parsonages, but lacking—not that godlike spirit of
" charity," or love, which with St. Paul was of such
great account, and with " H. of Exeter" is of such small
moment—but lacking baptism by the bands of the priest-
hood of the " Anglican Church," they are, according to
this good Bishop, in point of fact, no Christians! The
Bishop, however, proves one thing most satisfactorily;
and that is, that he is no PROTESTANT! He would un-
christianise all the Protestant Churches of the Continent
of Europe—those Churches which were more truly the
offspring of Protestantism than the Church of England;
nine-tenths of the people of Scotland, and one-halt of the
people of England, betides the vast majority of our
trans. atlantic Protestant brethren. lie, therefore, cannot
be a Protestant ; and if a Christian himself, ho is a
very unapostolic one!

THE ROYAL BUCK HOUNDS.—DE ATH OF Tim
CELEBRATED STAG HIG lIFLY E rt.— The royal buck-
hounds had ore of the most splendid runs of this season
on Monday, but which, however, unfortunately resulted
in the death of Highflyer, one of the most celebrated
deer which has been hunted by the royal pack. The _
meet was at New Lodge, the field numbering upwards of
200 of the neighbouring gentry and yeomen. High-
flyer, upon being uncarted, took away in gallant sty!* to
the Pump House, on to North-street, and Hatchet-lane,
to Ascot-place; into Miss Ferard's park, leaping the
palings into the road near the lodge, and thence over
Chevy-downs to the plantations at Swinley, through
Easthampatead, to Henniker-lodge, near Finchamp-
stead, without a check, and at a rattling racing pace.
Here the pack were at fault ; but upon being laid on on,
the heath, Highflyer made for Eversley, iu Hampshire,
where he got into the mill stream, with the hounds close
at his heels, and was drowned before his fleet pursuers
could be called off. The sides of the stream were of that
soft, muddy character, that it was impossible for the
horsemen, or the yokels, who had assembled in goodly
numbers, to approach the banks. The scent was good,
and the run, which was over at least twenty-five miles of
country, occupied not more than two hours. Between
30 and 40 well-mounted horsemen—and none but the
best of cattlecoulfl live thapace—were up at the finish.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.-IV6OLIV7CH; 4) AN.
In'ConseqUence of Mr. Sunderland declining to havottny
more experiments made with his propeller in the Rattler
steam-vessel, the intended trial, on Monday, did not take
place, but she will leave on Thursday morning, at ten
o'clock, to try Mr. Hodgson's " Parabolic Propeller."
The Styx steam-vessel, recently engaged in surveying
the Azores, was paid off at Woolwich on Monday, and
Captain Vidol, with Lieutenants Gill and Cox, are to be
borne on the books of the William and Mary yacht..
The Styx being rather large in her draught of water for
the surveying service, will be re-commissioned as a war
steamer, and have a crew of 145 men. Mr. Frederick
Sturdee,( late of the Daring, experimental vessel, has
been appointed additional master of the William and
Mary. The following ships are building at Woolwich:—
The Royal Albert, 120 guns, 3,330 tons hurthen ; the
Amphion, 36 guns, is being lengthened eighteen feet
forward, under the direction of Mr. White, of Cowes,.
and will be fitted with a screw propsller, and harts
engines of 300 horse power. The Sphinx steam vessel
is now in frame, and will be completed about June next.
Mr. Penn, of Greenwich, is preparing her engines. ahe
other three building slips at this dockyard are at present
vacant, with the exception of one in which is a barge
seventy feet lcng. recently. built and in progress of beit g-
fitted with Mr. Foulertetes ship manceuvrer, which is
formed of a three-bladed screw, and i; tended to show
that it is applicable to turning the largest vessels by the
aid of the crew in the event of any accident to the
rudder, or during cala.s.

upper part of Maiden-lance Whilst thus engaged one of
the boys gut into the hollow formed in the tree's trunk,
and whilst there felt, as he thought, something move
beneath his feet. He put his hand to the bottom to foel
what the substance was, and pulled up a black bundle,
which, on being opened, was found to contain the body
of a child wrapped up in an old black stuff apron. The-
body was somewhat decoulposed, but it is stated that
the head is much bruised, and there are marks of vio-
lence on its person, which leave little doubt it has been
murdered, and then secreted in the hollow of the tree
where it was found.

WORKHOUSE MANAGEMENT.-At the Biceeter
petty sessions on I.onds,y last, the 6th inst., two met
were brought before the magistrates (the Rev. A. H.
Matthews and Mr. W. Style), in custody, from du.
Bicester lock-up, or cage, where they had been confined
upwards of 24 hours, charge. by Mr. J. 11. Mansell, the
governor of the Bicester union poorhouse, with having
on the previous day—Suns !—refused to perform the
task-work set them by the complainant in return for the
food afforded them. The men, it appears, were on
tramp, and on Saturday evening applied to the officer for
relief for the night. They were supplied with an order
for admission to the poorhouse, and in consequence ad.
matted. Supper was given them that night, and lodging
iu the vagrant ward. On the following morning (Sun-
day), betore their departure, the governor called un them
to pump a large tank full of water. This the men rs
fused to do, as they said, because it was Sunday. The
complainant, in consequence, gave them into custody,
and they were taken to Bicesrer (about a mile), an..
there locked up, as above stated. The parties gave tilt.
names of William Smith and William Pudle
r.
magistrates committed them to Oxford gaol for 14 dap;
hard labour.
