A:"°7l Was now made for a rule to show cause why the ver-
wet should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the
tilends of rejection of admissible evidence, and also of rule-

of those houses, but they separated soon after. and defendant

:I,lil was a motion for a rule to show cause why there

that
the
the verdict, which was for the defendant, was against
e evidence.
tip Sergeant BYLES stated the nature of the evidence in
ei..ease, which was tried before the Under• Sheriff of Mid-
Ituelt. • It appeared that the plaintiff was a coal owner at
paitY. and the defendant a coal dealer, owning a wharf at
the :ingtoili and keeping a calla barge, which he used for
'3-.0111308es Of his trade, employing a man named Marlowe
.wheaptain. The agent of the plaintiff, a man named Bailey,
old' was the principal witness on the part of the plaintiff,
in the course of May last, a boat load of coals to lows the captain of the defendant's boat, it being agreed that
ti4t.rlovre, on the part of his employer, should pay the plain-
agont in London.
off: ue Lewin CHIEF JusTicz asked what proof had been
coalred that the defendant authorised the purchase of the

Sergeant BYLES read a part of the evidence of the
Balky, from which it appeared that the defendant
said
for t.,`" ,"I have given Marlowe the money to pay you
viti the coals, and I wish it to be settled immediately," to
h eh he replied that " according to the
,agreement it must
e„l?,aid to Mr. Barrow's agent in London.'
4ne 'agent a person of the name of Moore, had been ex-

iS ,_• Sergeant BYLES—It is not very clear who Timothy
out I should 'hot think it was Marlowe seeing that his

es proceeded to say, that on the part of the defendant the
V.witaess was Marlowe, who said that--he did not re-
„oeraber writing the agreement. Upon this case the jury
t.ind a verdict for the defendant, which he (Mr. Byl,!s) sub-

he CROUCII having addressed the jury for the defendant,
ven jury consulted fornearly ten minutes, and then gave a
rtlict for the full amount.ne

the negotiation fell through. Latterly, these negotiations
had been renewed, and they bad resulted in the two Boards
coming to a resolution, whereby each undertook to recom-
mend to its Proprietors the necessity and expediency, under
existing circumstances, of an immediate amalgamation. The
details, it was thought, had better be left to the respective
Boards, and therefore the Directors had determined simply
to put the question of amalgamation to the meeting. If,
however, any Shareholder desired any information upon the
details, he should be happy to answer any questions that
might be put upon them ; but, in the meantime he begged to
move the first resolution, which adopted the amalgamation
upon the general terms of ranking the Brighton shares at COI.
and Croydon at 181. 10s., and authorise the Directors to settle
and arrange the other details. _ _

Mr. LEVY remarked that the Croydon Company had issued
what they called an Atmospheric Kent line; and in the event
of their not being able to obtain the Bill next session, they
had guaranteed to return the whole of the money, minus 10s.
per share. Now he wished to know whether they adopted
this liability if they agreed to the amalgamation?
The CHAIRMAN replied that they did, but begged to remind
the Hen. Proprietor that he had mistaken the terms of the
guarantee. It was not to return the money, but that the
expenses should not exceed 10s. per share.
Sir L. GOLMMID protested that they ought not to agree
to the amalgamation without having the details before them.
Mr. LEWLN differed with the Honourable Proprietor.
There was no necessity for their looking to past results, but
they'ought rather to see what would be the prospective ad-
vantages of the amalgamation. Believing this to be the
true principle which ought to guide them, he wished to ask
the Chairman one or two questions. It had been stated
what would be the effect of the amalgamation upon the Kent.
Rue ; and he should be glad to know what its effect would be
upon the Portsmouth Atmospheric, the contemplated line
from Dorking and Shoreham, and the Kent lines generally.
The CHAIRMAN replied that, with reference to the Ports-
mouth Atmospheric line, he need hardly remind the
meeting that it was a distinct Company, and consequently
the amalgamation did not involve an amalgamation with
the Portsmouth Atmospheric Company. With reference to
the Dorking, he might state, that there was no connexion
between the gentlemen who promoted that line and the
Brighton and Croydon. Those gentlemen would have to
take their chance of coming before Parliament in the next
session, and to rely upon their own resources to overcome
the difficulties which beset them, for he could state that
they were not at all bound to help them over those dif-
ficulties.

Sir LIONEL GoLuslriu asked whether the dividend of the
Croydon Company was likely to increase under the amalga-
mation ? _ _ _

Mr.,Pkrita CLARKE, the manager of the line. replied that
the amalgamation would have the effect of causing a consi-
derable reduction in the expenditure of the two companies ;
and from a calculation he had made he could state that the
dividend of the Croydon Company, for the twelve months
ending in June last, would be 61. per cent. on 181. 10s.—
(Hear, hear, and applause).
Captain HATISAM warmly supported the amalgamation, and
pointed out to the meeting that they lost their West-end
Terminus project through the opposition of the Croydon.
That opposition would cease with the amalgamation.—
(Hear, hear).
After some further discussion, the resolution for the amal-
gamation was unanimously adopted, as was also the other
resolution mentioned in the advertisement. _ _ _

CovE--Before the meeting broke up wished to know
what had been the result of the new system which had lately
been adopted of reducing the fairs.
The CHAIRMAN said it had proved most successful.
An HON. PROPRIETOR asked when the Brighton and Chi-
chester, and the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings lines were
likely to be completed.
The Cmurimert replied that it was impossible to say with
any certainty. They expected, however, thit the first would
be ready for opening by the end of the present year, and the
latter by next spring.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and the Directors,
and the meeting terminated.

THE POTATO CROP.—THE ADJOURNED MEETING.
DUBLIN, Nov. 4.—There was a very full attendance to•
day at the adjourneil meeting. At half-past two o'clock the
eiair was taken, on the motion of " the Liberator," by the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.
His LORDSHIP read the resolutions of the Committee, sub-

mitted to the Lord Lieutenant on the preceding day, together
with his Excellency's answer: The answer was received with
partial hisses.
Mr. HAUGHTON expressed his regret that any resolution
should be agreed to to stop the exportation of food. They
ought not to place any restriction on commercial pursuits ;
other steps could be taken to prevent famine. His plan was
to call on the Government to place at their disposal money
to purchase fuod in the markets of Europe, guaranteeing the
repayment by a tax on the country. He thought the plan
of raising money on the Woods and Forests revenue a bad
one, as no country or people ought to go in debt.
Mr. S. GORDON thought it a bad move to go to the Lord
Lieutenant as he had no power, still he thought they would
derive good from the meetings, for they might agree to a call
on the Government to repeal the law on the importation of
food. Mr. Gordon submitted a resolution embodying the
purport of his speech.
Mr. BRYAN seconded the resolution.
Mr. J. A. O'NEILL stated that Mr. Haughton's suggestion
was that we should purchase in the European markets, but
where were the markets open to them to purchase food.
The ports of Europe were closed against them. Mr. O'Neill
discussed at considerable length the course adopted by the
Lord Lieutenant. The Lord Lieutenant should not have
contented himself with police reports The Lords Lieute-
nants of counties ought to call meetings of their districts or
the Deputy lieutenants in their baronies and parishes, to see
what could be done. It wasn't enough for them to go about
with a potato in their pockets, but be ready to put their
hands there when the time came. Mr. O'Neill again ad-
verted to Mr. Haughton's proposition. He recommended the
use of ardent appeals to Almighty God to deal with us in
this judgment with clemency.
Mr. CLASSON next came forward, and moved as an amend-
ment on the proposition of Mr. Gordon, the appointment of
a Committee, which was seconded by Mr. J. A. O'Neill
Mr. HAUQILTON asked why they should seek to give the
former resolution the go-by ?
Mr. O'Coxr/ELL said they were indisposed to introduce a
political question into the meeting. He was as sincere a free
trader as anybody could be, but he was not for free-trade to
the exclusion of the consideration of a question of probable
famine to the country.
Mr. J. A. O'NEILL said the passing of Mr. Gordon's reso-
lution would keep from their Committee most respectable and
influential people of the country.
Mr. Dixos said the disease, he was sorry to say, was pro-
gressing. The Lord Lieutenant did net say funds would be
forthcoming if what he called a necessity should arise. He
was in reality one of Mr. O'Connell's best Repealers.
The LIBERATOR then came forward, and said his purpose
was to support a practical plan for the purpose of carrying
out the measures of the Committee, for the purpose of
avoiding famine and pestilence. He appealed to Mr. Haugh-
ton whether the object of the Anti-corn-law League was not
to get into the country all the corn they could, without ever
thinking of sending it out of the country.
i Ireland was pe-
culiarly circumstanced—her produce went into England, and
the price never came back. That was what he supposed was
called a union. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman defended
the plan of raising money on the Woods and Forests. He
then adverted to the interview with -the Lord Lieutenant.
They were badly treated. The Lord Lieutenant was
very uncivil to take the Lord Mayor out of his baili-
wick. He didn't care if they got anything, but to be
put into one cold room and bowed out of another,
but he gave them no promise, and he asked no in-
formation. He (the Liberator) then commented on the Lord
Lieutenant's answer, paragraph by paragraph, keeping the
assemblage in a continued roar of laughter at the ludicrous
light in which he placed it before the public. The assertion
that there was " no pressure in the market" was untrue ; it
was gross and lamentable ignorance on the part of the Lord
Lieutenant. The Liberator then proceeded to develops his
remedies for the condition of the country. He would pro-
pose in the next Committee—a Committee of twenty—a tax
on absentee property. Every man who went on that Com-
mittee should show his intention of working by paying his
five guineas. They would lose the assistance of one-third of
the gentlemen who would support them if they were pledged
to abolish the corn-law. He suggested to Mr. Gordon to
withdraw his resolution, that their labours should be united
to charity alone, in harmony and in union.
After some consideration, and an attempt to persevere,
which the meeting would not sanction, Mr. Gordon, at the
suggestion of his seconder, withdrew the resolution, and the
amendment—the appointment of a Committee—was carried
nem. con. _ _ _

The Committee was then named. It is as follows:

The Lord Mayor, Duke of Leinster, Lord Cloncurry, Mr.
O'Connell, Mr. Grattan, Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Classon, Mr.
Mahony, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Bermingham, Mr. T. Gresham,
Mr. Perry, Dr. Gray, Mr. O'Donoughoe, Rev. Dr. Yore, the
O'Connor Don, Sir J. Power, C. Fitzsimon, C. M'Loughlio,
J. Dunn, Alderman Keshen, Alderman Gardiner, Sir J.
Murray, Dr. Kane, Alderman M'Kenna, Alderman O'Brien,
M. T. Whelan, M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Tennyson.
The Committee is to assemble each day at two o'clock, at
the Mansion-house.

Mr. FITZSIMON spoke of the course adopted in Belgium.
They had stored provisions of all kinds in that country in
granaries. But the Belgians had adopted one plan in the
stubble lands they had already ploughed, and sowed with
oats, barley, rye, and berg, and that in the hard season, the
time between the two crops. They would have food, if the
farmers adopt the wise example of the Belgians. The Bel-
gians have also planted already hundreds of acres of potatoes,
which, though the frost is very severe there, they protect by
scattering straw over them in winter, and this crop also they
will have early next year.
Mr. BERMINGHAM said the landlord who did not tell his
tenantry to keep his oats in his haggard, could not die
easy on his bed. Lord Clonbrock had told him he desired
his tenantry not to touch their oats, and the landlord who
did otherwise would incur a curse which all thc prayers of his
household could not stay.
Mr. O'Neill was then called to the chair, thanks were
voted to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated.

FULLY BURNT.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
WARRINGTON, Nov. s.—This morning at five o'clock, tLe
No. 3 coal-pit, belonging to Meszrs. Turner and Evans, at
llaydock, near Newton, Lancashire, caught tire, (by some
means at present not known,) and a most tremendous ex-
plosion took place, which uplifted and carried to a consider-
able distance the planks fastened at the mouth of the pit.
These collieries are at work both night and day; the night-
men had just returned from the pit, and the day-men in the
act of descending, nineteen of whom had gone down when
the explosion occurred; had it happened a few minutes later
about twenty more would have shared the same fate as their
unfortunate companions. Some were actually hanging by
the rope when it took place. As soon as safety would permit
their fellow-men went down to explore the full extent of the
mischief, and nine dead bodies were found, amongst whom
was that of a boy, who was so dreadfully mutilated that they
were under the necessity of putting him in a sack in order
to get him up. Ten men were gat up alive, but all so seri-
ously burnt, that not the least hopes are entertained of their
recovery, except one, who seems to have been more fortunate
than the rest. These most unfortunate men are nearly all
married, and have left most of them large families to lament,
and it is to be feared grievously suffer this their sudden, un-
expected, and to them irretrievable loss. The inquest will
take place at Ilaydock to-morrow.
Since writing the above, I have been informed of an acci-
dent by gunpowder, to a boy in this town, who, having some
in his hand it ignited, and he is sa seriously burnt that his
life is despaired of.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.
Two men are at present in custody, under warrants from
the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, charged with various swindling
transactions of a very extensive description. One of them
calls himself Captain Paul 241‘Gregor, of Seafield House,
Arran, and the other is George Inglis, a spirit dealer, in King-
street, Glasgow. The impositions with which the parties are
charged embrace a great number of cases, and have reference
to a multiplicity of articles ; but the following are the more
important :—Captain Paul M'Gregor, it appears, in the
character of occupant of Seafield House, Arran (of which,
by the way, he is actually the tenant), ordered from Mr.
Yellowlees. coach-bu►lder, Edinburgh, a fine chariot, valued
at 100/., which was received in Glasgow, and the vehicle, it
is alleged, was forthwith taken to Salford. Manchester, and
there sold for 45/. By a similar order a bull and three cows,
of. the Alderney and Guernsey breed, were obtained from an
agent in England, who, no doubt, entertained the belief that
they were to form part of the fancy or ornamental stock of a
landed proprietor in Arran ; but, after reaching Glasgow,
they were taken to the cattle market, and, as is alleged, sold
for what they would bring. In the possession of one of the
prisoners, among other papers which brought to light many
of their transactions, was found the invo►ce of a second
chariot fram a house in London. Of this vehicle, which
appears to have been of considerable value, no trace can be
found; and, therefore, as far as has been ascertained, it has
never entered the avenue of Seafield House. Several piano-
fortes, gold watches, and other articles of value, have also
been ordered and received from London, besides other goods
of the most varied character being ordered from Edinburgh,

THE OVERLAND ROUTE to INDIA

vi T RIESTE.
TO THE 2Drroa OF THE TimpS.

Sir,—Briefly I beg to return my thanks fer the conspicuous
manner you have been pleased- to put my name before the
public in connexion with the Trieste route.
I beg to solicit you will allow your paper to give the public
the following particulars of my journey :
In the first place, the Semiramis steamer was 19 instead
of 17, days between Bombay and Suez, thus a loss of two
days to my express. Again, we were six days and a.half
between. Alexandria and Trieste, in consequence of head
winds and heavy seas the whole way (the common passage
is five days), hence again a loss of one day and a half; thus
three days and a half have been lost in this express 'upon
the sea passage,'by which the express should have reached
London in 26 days, instead of 29i days.
It is generally supposed that I arrived at Trieste in the
Austrian steamer; such is not the fact. I steamed to the
extreme finish of the Adriatic, viz., Dwino, which is 12 miles
nearer London than Trieste, and a steamer can reach within
20 yards of that place.
I may now mention, Sir, an extraordinary instance .of
Austrian alacrity and attention. His Excellency the
Governor of Trieste, Count Stadion, Chevalier de Bruck, the
head of the Austrian Lloyd's Company, and all the elite of the
merchants, &c., of Trieste, were waiting for me at Dwino,
thotigh at the hour of half-past twelve at night, and one of
the darkest I ever experienced ; we were guided only to
Dwino by the rockets sent up by them. My passport was
given by order of the Emperor of Austria, and countersigned
at Vienna by the representatives of Belgium, Prussia, Baden
and Bavaria, countries through which I passed ; indeed, I
was not asked a question throughout the journey.
I shall shortly be in a position to offer to her Majesty's
Government and East India Company a series of trials again
by this route for three or six months certain, as they may
think proper, in order to take away those doubts which may
yet remain about the Trieste route. My opinion is, that the
three or six trials, when determined upon, will average
twenty-five days between Bombay and London ; and again
I have to mention, that when the present steam ships for the
Bombay line, now in course Of completion in the Thames and
Clyde, are placed between- Suez and Bombay, the route rid
Trieste will then be brought down to five days less; and, ere
two years, I feel convinced that dispatches will be in London
on the 2lst day from BOmbay.
Again thanking you for the notice you have already taken
of my sincere endeavours to shorten the space between India
and England, and assuring you of my unalterable devotion
thereto, I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
THOMAS WAGHORN, Lieutenant, R.N.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON,
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

• The Queen steam-ship, Captain Russell, arrived this morn-
ing at nine o'clock, with the usual Peninsular mails, which
were dispatched to town- by the eleven o'clock A.M. train.
She also brings 270 boxes of oranges, 24 barrels of olives, a
quantity of grapes, 40 cases of eggs, and about 2,600/. in
specie, besides a variety of other packages of merchandise.
The Queen left Gibraltar on the 27th of October; Cadiz,
28th ; Lisbon, 30th ; Oporto, 31st ; Corunna, Nov. 1; and
Vigo on the same day. Her Majesty's ship Flamer, and her
Majesty's brig Fantome, the United 'States sloop of war Cum-
berland, French steamer Gassendi, and the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, were at Gibraltar.
The Quiver schooner was off Espchel, and wished to be re-
ported.
The Baiter was off Cadiz on the 28th ultimo. The Royal
Southern Yacht Club yacht Circassian, the Ganymede (J. H.
Smith Pigott, Esq.), and the Anaconda (Sir Charles Ibbet-
son), had also put in at Cadiz, but left the day previous to
the Queen for the South. The Spanish ship-of-war Soberana,
of 72 guns, with the brig Manzanaries, of 20 guns, and
steamer Isabel the Second were also lying at Cadiz.
At Lisbon was the French brig-of-war Cyque, of 20 guns;
also the Company's steamer, North Star. The Royal Tar
had arrived at Vigo on her passage out.
The Queen brings home several passengers.
LISBON, Ocr. 30, 1845.
A Portaria, under date of the 18th inst., has been issued
from the Home Department, and published in the Diaria,
setting forth the terms upon which the Government is willing
to grant to any company the privilege of making railways in
Portugal. Those terms are in substance as follows, viz..:-
1. The company to be allowed an exclusive privilege for
99 years, to be reckoned from the completion of each line of
railway.
2. To be allowed the free use a the Crown lands through
which the line may pass, and of the stone, sand, and clay
therein.

3. To enjoy an exemption. during five years from import
duties on all materials and machinery, which it may be neces-
sary to import from foreign countries.
4. An exemption from all general or local imports upon
the labours of the company, or upon its shares.
5. The company to be allowed, for the first ten years, to
establish whatever rates it may think proper for the convey-
ance of passengers and goods. At the end of that term, how-
ever, the rates will become subject to the consideration and
approval of the Government.
6. The company must engage to begin each line of rail-
way within one year from the signing of the respective con••
tract, and to complete it within six years from its commence-
ment.

7. The plan and prospectus of each line shall be submitted
:o the consideration of the Government.

8. Government dispatches to be conveyed gratuitously.
9. Troops, baggage, and military stores, to be conveyed at
one-fourth the ordinary rates.
10. The propelling power to be steam by means of loco-
motives; but the company will be 4 liberty to adopt the
atmospheric principle, if deemed more expedient.
11. the works to be carried on under the supervisorsbip of
agents appointed br the Government, for the purpose of pre-
venting any departure from the stipulated conditions.
12. The Government will make certain provisions, which
are to be considered as the complement of the conditions and
clauses established, as is done by the French Government in
the cahieas des charges in contracting for works of this nature.
13. If the company be a foreign one, it will be considered
as Portuguese, with regard, solely, to the obligations of its
contract, and will be, so far, subject to the laws and tribunals
of this country alone.
14. At the end of twenty years, and after that, at the end
of every fifth year, the Government will have the right of
appropriatirg any railway to itself, on payment of its just
value, which value is to be fixed by arbitrators, upon the
basis of the nett revenue of the last five years.
15. The Government will make the necessary regulations
for the maintenance and security of the railways.
16. The Company contracting for any line of railway. shall
deposit with the Board of Public Credit, as a guarantee for
the performance of the contract, the sum of 12,000 mitres (in
Portuguese Four or Five per Cent. Inscriptions) for every
league of such line. _

17. No proposal for the construction of railroads will be
admitted, unless the parties making it give sufficient proof
of their ability to carry the undertaking into effect.
18. All proposals are to be presented at the Home-office
within six months from this date (18th October).
Of the foregoing terms some appear perfectly fair ; but
the 14th and 16th are of a nature to put a stop to all railway
speculations in this country so long as they continue to be
insisted on. The deposit required is at the rate of 1701. per
mile, which for the proposed Oporto line would amount to
somewhere about 150,000 i. The trusting such a Government
as this with the safe keeping of so large a sum is of itself a
very weighty objection ; but when to this is added the con-
dition, that just when any railway ceases to be a losing con.
cern, and begins to yield some profit, the Government is to
have the power of taking it at a valuation based upon the
aggregate receipts of the last period of five years, which re-
ceipts the Government itself is to have the right of lessening,
by lowering the rates of fares, it is scarcely credible that any
company will venture upon such an undertaking.
By an arrangement with the Unias Commercial Company
the funds required for the payment of the next dividends in
London have been provided. So far the evil day has been
put off; but to a crash it is likely to come at last. The
Five per Cent. Inscriptions, which were shortly ago at 75, are
now at 68. and their tendency is still downward.
Yesterday being the 29th anniversary of the King Con-
sort's birth, was a day of great rejoicing.

DR. PUSE Y IN LEEDS.
CONSECRATION OF ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.

The new church of St. Saviour's, in Leeds, first called

" The Church of the Holy Cross," was consecrated by the
Bishop of Ripon, on Tuesday last. It is well known that
this church has been erected under the auspices of the
Puseyites. The founder is unknown to the public, but the
funds were contributed through the medium of Dr. Pusey, the
leader of the sect alluded to ; and the person who chiefly
provided the money is described as a great penitent, who,
under the influence of contrition for his sins, has caused this
church to be erected. This notion appears to be correct
enough, for in the interior of the church, on a conspicuous
gilt scroll, over the principal entrance, are inscribed the
words, "Ye who enter this holy place, pray for the sinner
who built it." The services of the consecration were '
attended by shoals of clergymen, clothed in the ple-
nitude of lawn and muslin, " black, white, and grey,
with all their frippery." We are informed that be-
tween 200 and 300 were present. The event, however, which
most excited public curiosity in connexion with the opening
of the new church, was the appearance in propria persona of
the veritable Dr. Pusey himself, who preached a sermon there
on Tuesday evening. The church was, of course, crowded,
not by Churchmen and Puseyites alone, but by men of every
creed, and men of no creed at all, who felt a natural curiosity
to see what manner of man was the ehampion of the sect,
who has of late years made so much noise in the world.
And of all the large concourse crammed within the walls of
the edifice, on the odcasion, we will venture to say that there
was not one who did not return home disappointed. That
such a man should be the leader of a great and bold reli-
gious movement is certainly surprising. Let us briefly de-
scribe him :—He appears to 'be about fifty years of age, and
as far as we could judge, as he stoodin the pulpit, he is of
low stature. His face, which is very sallow, is rather long
and quite inanimate, and his features are plain and heavy,
nor can the least trace of superior intellect, or the slightest
glitimier of the light of genius, be discovered on his coun-
tenance. his sermon fully bore out the impressions produced
by his personal appearance. It was feeble and common-place.
The text was from the 47th verse of the 7th chapter of
Luke—" Her sins, which are many, are forgiven ; for she loved
much," alluding to the penitence of Mary Magdalene. The
text was chosen with a view to the circumstances under
which the church—which he termed a "penitential offer-
ing"—was erected, and had special reference to the penitence
of its founder. The sermon was, however, altogether devoid
of anything calculated to please the mind or touch the heart.
It was too dull to do either. The doctor read it in a loud
but unmusical and monotonous tone of voice ; and, from the
beginning to the end, we never observed that his eyes were
uplifted from the manuscript before him, or his hands re-
moved from the position on the edge of the pulpit, in which
they had been first placed. He preached in the surplice.
Our own impression, from what we saw and heard of Dr.
Pusey, is, that he is but the nominal leader of his sect; and
that, being a decent inoflensive sort of man, he has been
placed in the front ranks, in order to be made the puppet of
those abler and craftier than himself. The world would, most
assuredly, have known but little of Dr. Pusev, but for the
novel and extreme doctrines which he has publicly espoused.
With respect to the new church itself, it may be stated that
the edifice is erected on a high mound, and rises in the midst
of one of the poorest but most densely populated 'parts of the
borough of Leeds. The splendour of its interior has been
much exaggerated. The windows, which are all painted,
form the most attractive portion of it. There is no gallery;
and the floor of the church is entirely occupied with file
sittings. The inside is all the less striking, during the even-
ing service, from being very inadequately illuminated by the
dim and dirty light of tallow candles. Probably the Pu-
seyites, discovering no precedent_ for the use of gas in the
pages of the fathers, or in tradition, think it necessary to
discontinue the brilliant innovation. —Leeds Times.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ANDREW KINLOCH, THE
FIRST POWER.LoOM WELVIIII.—On Wednesday evening last se-
cording to arrangement, Mr. Andrew Kinloch, the old power-loots
weaver, was entertained to supper in Mrs. Marshall's, Trongate,
by the masters, managers, tenters, and dressers connected with the
power-loom manufactories in and around Glasgow. The object of
the meeting was to do honour to Mr. Kinlock, who first fitted up
a power.loom in Gallowgate.street, Glasgow, in the year 1793, and
to present him with a sum of money, by which his latter days may
be made more comfortable. Mr. John M'Bryde, of Nursery Mills,
Hutchesentown, occupied the chair, supported right and Itft by
Mr. Kinloch, Mr. Walter Hutcheson (one of the first apprentices
of the guest of the evening), Commissioner W. C. Pattisonj Mr.
Alexander, merchant"; and Mr. Sym, manager. Mr. Thomas Rich-
mond discharged the duties of croupier, and was supported by Mr.
James Aitken, of Cook.street factory; Mr. Daniel M`Nab, ma-
nager, Hill-street; Mr. Gilmour, jun., and Mr. John Watson,
manager, St. Rollo:. The company amounted to about
100 persons. After the withdrawal of the cloth the
Chairmain gave in succession the usual loyal toast.. He then
came to the toast of the evening, "The health of Mr. Andrew
Kinloch, and success to the power-loom," in which he referred to
the claims of Mr. Kinloch upon the good feeling and sympathy of
all who had profited by the power.loom. He spoke of Andrew's
years, of his ingenuity as a mechanic, of his virtuous, sober, and
moral character as a man, and concluded a vary judicious address
by presenting the old power-loom weaver with a beautiful and in-
geniously-formed wooden snuff.box, containing upwards of forty
sovereigns. While he did so he intimated that the gift did not
include all the money which had been subscribed by the power.

opportunity would he given to those who had put down their
names, and to those who had not done so, to add their mite towards

vations In reply, in which he cordially thanked the company for
their unexpected kindness and attention to bim.—Glasgow Herald.
THE WINE TRADE.—The Lords Commissioners of
her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased by their order to
direct a remission of duty In all future cases of deficiency of wine
deposited in the bonded warehouses and vaults, in which It should
satisfactorily appear that the same has arisen from natural causes,
as is now allowed in cases of deficiency of brandy, the same has
been communicated to the collectors and comptrollers at the seve-
ral outports of the kingdom, for their information and government,
and also that of all parties Interested, and witk directions to the
former to make the allowance in question without application being
specially made to the Board in those cases in which the deficiency
beyond the recently augmented scale sanctioned in the general
order of April last, shall not exceed'= per cent. on the ullage con.
tents of each cask, observing that they are first to satisfy them-
selves that the deficiency has arisen from natural causes, and that
no abstraction or improper interference has taken place, and that
a written application be made to them by the parties in each case.
