FRANKFORT, DEC. 6.—The Customs' Union of 1846-

I'OSEN, Dr.c. I.—lt was vtry generally reported that
the day before yesterday (the 29th of November), the
anniversary of the revolution at Warsaw, was fixed upon
as the time at which a great movement in favour of
Polish independence should take place; at least that day
was indicated as of great importance in the threatening
letter addressed to the President of the Police, Baron
Von Mussentoli.. The day, however, has passed over
without any disturbance, as was to be expected, for there
can be no great reason to dryad revolution, the breaking
out of which is formally announced to the public before
hard.

THE BISHOP of EXETER v. SHORE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—With this letter I send you a few extracts from
the Forms of Service for Ordering Deacons and Priests.
Does it not appear from them that such ordination
gives merely a conditional authority ? viz.-
Ist. That an ordained deacon or priest is only placed
in a state of qualification to hold a bishop's license to
perform the functions of those offices.
• 24. That, as an ordained deacon or priest, he is not
entitled to perform the functions of those offices in any
case, if he be not possessed of such license ; so, as a
matter of course, a marriage pretended to be solemnised
by an ordained priest not having a license to perform
the functions of such offices is voidable.
3d. That the ordination vow is a covenant which runs
only during the term of a license, and that during such
time as an ordained person is without such license he is
not under episcopal jurisdiction.
If such be the case, how could Mr. Shore be under
episcopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Exeter after he
had withdrawn his license from Mr. S., and he (Mr. S.)
afterwards did not attempt to perform the functions of a
deacon or priest in a consecrated church or an episco-
pally-licensed chapel ?
The ordination services of deacon and priest, being
part and parcel of an Act of Parliament, may be con-
firmed by a court of common law ; and it appears to me
that the parson and the attorney are on the same footing.
Thus, the young lawyer, after having received his certifi
cate of twalification from the examiners, and been ad-
mitted by the court, cannot legally practise as an attor-
ney until he has obtained a license, duly stamped ; and
the young ordained parson cannot legally practise
as a deacon or priest until he has obtained his license,
also duly stamped ; and neither of these parties can
hereafter practise when their licenses are either with-
drawn or not renewed, according to circumstances, the
licenses being the only authority for exercising the
functions of each office in both cases.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant,

DEVONIA, Septentionaria.

Dec. 8, 1845.
(Extracts Isom the Service for Ordering Deacons.)
Question—The Bishop : Do you unfeignedly believe
all the canonical scriptures of the Old and New Testa-
ment ?
Answer—Candidate:: I do believe them.
The Bishop— Will you diligently read the same unto
the people assembled in the church where you shall he
tippointed to serve ?
Ans wer—l will.
The Bishop—lt appertaineth to the office of a deacon
in the church where he shall be appointed to serve to
assist the priest, &c. &c. ; will you do this gladly and
willingly ?
Answer—l will do so, by the help of God.
The Bishop, laying his bands severally upon the head
of every one of the candidates, humbly kneeling before
him, shall say, " Take thou authority to execute the
office of a deacon in the Church of God committed unto
thee," &c. &c.
Then shall the Bishop deliver to every one of them
the New Testament, saying, " Take thou authority to
read the Gospel in the Church of God, and to preach the
same, if thou be thereto licensed by the Bishop himself."
THE ORDAINING OF PRIESTS.
The Bishop—Are you persuaded that the Holy Scrip-
tures contain sufficiently all doctrine required of neces-
sity for eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ ?
and are you determined, out of the said Scriptures, to
instruct the people committed to your charge ? &c.
Answer—l am so persuaded, and have so determined,
by God's grace.
The Bishop—Will you then give your faithful dili-
gence always to minister the doctrine and sacraments
and the discipline of Christ, as the Lord hath com-
manded, and as this Church and realm bath received the
same, according to the commandments of God ; so that
you may teach the people committed to your care and
charge with all diligence to keep and observe the same ?
Answer—l will do so with the help of God.
The Bishop—Will you be ready with all faithful dili-
gence to banish and drive away alt erroneous and strange
doctrines contrary to God's word, and to use both
public and private monitions, as well to the sick as to
the whole, within your cures, as need shall require and
occasion shall be given ?
nswer—l will, the Lord being my helper.
The shall deliver to every one of them, kneel-
ing, the Bible i:."0 his hand, saying, "Take thou audio-
rity to preach the wort: of God and minister the holy
sacraments in the congregation :"'here thou shalt be law-
fully appointed thereunto."

THE SUPPLY OF WATER TO BUCKINGHAM
PALACE..—Wednesday morning workmen commenced laving
down the main pipes leading from the Horse Guards to
Buckingham Palace, which will in future be supplied with
water from the Trafalgar-square wells. The pipes will be
carried from the Treasury across St. James's Park.
Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Nicholas
Esterhazy and family, it is understood, will prolong their re •
sidence in this country until the end of May, when they re-
turn to Hungary. The Prince and Princess are staying on a
visit to the Hon. Captain Frederick and Lady Elizabeth Vil-
liers, at their seat near Towcester. .
THE BERKESWELL URDER.—NATHANIEL SHARP,
THE SUPPOSED CULPRIT, IN CUSTODY.—III the course of the
morning of yesterday (Wednesday), police constable Holmes,
of the Coventry force, took a young-looking fellow, of about
twenty years of age, before the Mayor of Coventry, and other
magistrates, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of
Thomas Tranter, an old resident in the parish of Berkeswell,
but who was killed by some person unknown on the 17th
ultimo. The Hall of St. Mary's was much crowded. The
prisoner gave his name as James Reed—same name as the
person who is supposed to have committed the murder, and
who has likewise absconded, and the particulars of his appre-
hension are these ;—He is a labourer, out of employment, and
came from Denham, in Buckinghamshire, twenty-three miles
from Aylesbury. He was detained at the Aylesbury Police-
cffice, as applying there on Saturday night last for a bed, on
his giving the name of James Reed. The attention of the
officer in waiting was more particularly directed to him on
givi ig this name, and examined him closer. It appears that,
n his opinion, lie corresponded with the description given in
the Government Gazette of Young Reed, of Berkeswell, and
he was accordingly detained. Holmes brought him to Co-
ventry on Tuesday night, he was examined yesterday, and
will be further remanded until to-morrow (Friday), when he
will be taken before the magistrates of the county.
SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—The
trial of speed between the Fairy and Wonder, so long sought
for, came off to-day, on the occasion of her Majesty's steam
tender Fairy taking the Ministers to and from the island.
The Wonder went down to Cowes on purpose to meet the
Fairy on her return. The two fast vessels, the best possibly
of their respective plans, screw-propeller and paddle-wheels,
made a fair start from the Brambles (off Cowes), and after a
rap l run to the Southampton Docks, the Wonder beat her
competitoz' by four minutes in time, or about one mile and a
half in distance, showing a superior speed eqwal to nearly
three miles per _hour. The time occupied by the Wonder
from the Brambles was 39 minutes; the distance is roughly
estimated at 11 miles. Her Majesty's Ministers arrived at
and embarked from the Southampton Docks at half-past 10,
and were received by Mr. Forbes, Deputy-Chairman; Capt.
Ward, R.N., superintendent; and Mr. Saintsbury, the secre-
tary, and returned at half-past three, and immediately pro-
ceeded by special train to town. Mr. Lobh, the mayor, re-
ceived the distinguished party, and handed the buke of
Wellington to his carriage.
The Whitehaven junction has been completed, and
its opening for public traffic was to have taken place on the
2d instant ; but Captain Coddington reported unfavourably
of the gauge, and the Board of Trade have refused to certify
its security, &c. The Company have, consequently, po4-
poned the opening, in order to relay the rails, which will
cccupy some time.—Tyne Mercury.
NATIONAL GLASS COMPANY of IRELAND.—We are
most happy to announce that this truly Irish Company has
already so far progressed that it will be in a position to supply
glass of native manufacture ye 7 early in the spring,—Dub,
_li a Evening Post.
