MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—(From a Correspondent.)
--On Saturday afternoon as a lady and a little girl were crossing
the street near the statue of King William, in King William.
street, they became so entangled with the various carriages crowd-
ing the sheet, that there seemed but little chance for the child
avoiding being run over, as in this dangerous situation the poor
little creature had become separated from its mother. A gentle.
man who was passing by, observing the perilous situation of the
child sprang from the causeway, seized the child, and rescued it
from its danger ; and whilst endeavouring to spring back to save
himself, his feet slipped from under him, and he fell on his back,
when the wheel of a vehicle which was going rapidly along passed
right over his body, without any serious injury being sustained by
him; and the moment he found himself liberated from the car-
riage he sprang upon his feet with amazing activity, amidst the
warm plaudits of those who witnessed his. spirited and fortunate
assistance.

CHURCH-RATES. - ST. G EORGE,IN •TIIR-EAST.---
On Saturday the polling for a church-rate was resumed in the
vestry-room of the parish church of St. George, Middlesex, and at
four o'clock Mr. Liquorish, the senior churchwarden, declared the
numbers to be—For the rate, 30; against it, 1443 majority, 114.
The rate is lost, and, what is most extraordinary, by the votes of
the Church party, who, to show their detestation of Puseyisrn, in-
troduced by the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, voted against the rate.
After the final close of the poll several gentlemen addressed the
vestry. There were not more than twenty ratepayers in attend.
ance ; and Mr. Cullin said, as the Church party had voted against
the rate for conscience' sake, he hoped they would in future give
credit to the conscientious opinions of the Dissenters, who uni.
formly voted against church rates, because they considered that no
man had any right to support any religion from which he dissented.
The Dissenters voted against church-rates on the same principle
as Churchmen had done on this occasion, because compulsory pay.
ments for the support of a religion to which they objected was op-
posed to the rights of conscience. After some observations from
Mr. Rippingham, the Chairman, Mr. Dean, and others, the vestry
was dissolved.

THE AIARYLETIONE VESTRY AND MR. TIVYFORD,--.
At a meeting of the vestry on Saturday, the rector stated that he
had received no communication front Sir James Graham respecting
Mr. Meyer, which was, he supposed, attributable to the difficulty in
which he was placed as to his mode of action.—(Hear.) The
charges by the vestry were fully borne out, as appeared from Mr_
Maclean not having dared to press the prosecution against Mr;
Meyer. He (the rector) consulted with men of high judicial stand—
ing upon the subject, who declared that they knew not what advice
to give, as, although it might be desirable that Mr. Twyford should
be dismissed, yet that it might not be so easy for Sir James
Graham to do so. Although the vestry no doubt were anxious
that that magistrate should be removed, yet perhaps it would be
better for them to wait for another week to ascertain whether Sir
James Graham would keep his promise, or they might remind him
of it, or recommend the removal of Mr. Twyford to a less respon—
sible situation. After some discussion it was agreed to grant the
Home Secretary another week to act ; and in case he should
not move by that time in the case, that they should again have an
interview with him, and press him to grant some redress to Mr.
Meyer for the gross outrage and wrong inflicted upon that unfor.
tunate gentleman.

TIIE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF TUE CHURCH 01. SCOTLAND.—On Thursday last the Assembly met at Edinburgh,
in Victoria Hall, Castle-hill. Before the meeting of the Court the

the nobility and gentry of the county. Upon the meeting of the
assembly Dr. Hill, Professor of Divinity, at Glasgow, was elected
moderator. Her Majesty's letter was then read, but contained
nothing beyond the usual complements and congratulations. The
only business transacted was the appointment of committees, and
other routine matters.

THE INFANT ROYAL FAMILY.-It is extremely
gratifying to be enabled to state that those members of the royal

complaint. The attack; fortunately, was of a very subdued vbs.
racter. Sir James Clark visited the royal infants at Claremont on
Saturday, returning to town in the evening. The Court wilt tear.
