IN RE WILLIAM FREESTONE.

The circumstances of this case were rather peculiar. A
female with whom the insolvent lived was possessed of property
to the amount of 2001. a year, and the opposing creditors
urged that this income should be made available for.the pay-
ment of the debts. _

The manner in which the creditors became possessed of in-
formation en the subject was this, that the female, when in her
confinement said to the medical gentleman whe attended her,
"I have on my mind something to trouble me, my other
husband is alive." This was said according to the evidence
when the woman was impressed with the fear of immediate
dissolution.

The insolvent produced a registry of her former marriage,
and said that although he knew this fact, yet he had occasion.
ally lived with her since he had acquired the information, but
eventually left her when he found her in company with an-
other individual. At present he could not say where she was
to be found.

The COURT ordered the case to be adjourned in order
that his assertions with respect to the alleged marriage should
be inserted in his schedule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday Susannah Brissenden, aged 19, was charged with
attempting to steal a quantity of baby linen, under singular
circumstances.
Mr. Teralli, of 189, Bishopsgate-street, stated that the pri-
soner, on the night of the 25th of December, excited consi-
derable alarm in the house by declaring she had been met on
the staircase by a burglar, who had escaped at the back of the
house. Some baby linen was found to have been packed up in
two bundles, and removed to a different part of the house.
Subsequently the prisoner produced three letters addressed to
her, in which the thief declared he would have revenge for
having been interrupted by her. He also menaced the life of
complainant, and the inspector placed a man constantly within
call. It turned out, however, that these letters, which were
full of the vilest expressions, were written by the prisoner her-
self, and put in the post-office, and she admitted that the story
of the burglar was a fabrication, to disturb the peace of the
family.
Mr. Alderman J. Jourrsow asked the prisoner what reason
she had fer writing such shameful letters ? She said she had
no particular reason.
The ALDERMAN said she must have had a motive. She
said, very calmly, that she wished to disturb the peace of the
family.
The ALDERMAN asked who had assisted her in it? She
said, no person had aided her.
Mr. Barry, of Spital-square, stated, that she was the daugh-
ter of a poor widow, who died in 1840, and she was one of
several widows he visited as the member of a charitable society.
He took the girl into his house nine years ago, and she was
educated with his own children till she was of age to be placed
as an assistant to a lady who had a stand in Soho Bazaar. She
was allowed 7s. 6d. per week fer her services, and the
society to which he belonged added half-a-crown per week
more, to enable her to maintain herself. The lady procured
a lodging for her, free of expense, by obtaining leave that she
should sleep with a servant. This servant was unfortunately
a very wicked creature, and had corrupted the prisoner's mind.
She was at length detected in pilfering at the Bazaar ;and turned
away. The witness took her home again, and placed her in a
female penitentiary, where she bore the rigid discipline so well
for 15 months, that he was persuaded she was contrite and re-
formed, and got a friend in Bishopsgate-street to receive her,
and teach her household work. While there, she saw the bill
at Mr. Teralli's, and entered his service.
The ALDERMAN asked where she would go if she were dis-
charged?—She replied that she would endeavour to get an
honest living.
.The ALDERMAN, after some conversation with the com-
plainant, remanded her for afew days, to consider hew she
should be disposed of.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Joseph Brown, a cab-driver, was charged before Mr. Maltby,
with furious driving while in a state of intoxication.
On Saturday night the defendant was seen driving at a
furious pace through Piccadilly, and, after proceeding a short
distance, he came with terrible force against a cart, in which a
man and his daughter were seated. The shaft of the cart
penetrated the body of the cabman'shorse, and it was necessary
to kill the animal, which was valued at 10/. Damage was also
done to the cart-horse to the amount of 3/. The case having
been fully proved,
Mr. MALTBY said he should inflict a fine of 10/. for the
public offence, order the defendant to pay 3/., the damage done
to the cart-horse, and prevent the defendant from again en-
dangering the safety of the public by at once revoking his license.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Sarah, Elizabeth, and Jane Hopwood, three sisters of re-
spectable appearance, were yesterday placed at the bar, charged
with having stolen a quart of coffee, and about 141 b. of coals,
from the residence of Mr. C. Bague.
At about a quarter past eight o'clock yesterday morning a
policeman saw the prisoners Elizabeth and Jane go to the area
railings, where they had not stood many minutes when a hand
from the area gave them a basket and jug, with which they
walked away. He followed, and stopped them, and found in
the possession of Elizabeth a basket containing coals and a
quart of coffee.
Mr. Bague proved that the prisoner Sarah was in his ser-
vice, and that there was no other person below to hand the
property through the area railings.
The prisoner Sarah admitted her guilt ; Elizabeth made no
defence ; and Jane alleged that she was innocent, as she had
merely gone to the house to bid her sister good-by.
Mr. Bague was very desirous that the magistrate:should dis-
pose of this case summarily, but
The MAGISTRATE considered it one of those cases which
ought to be sent to a jury, and committed the prisoners for trial.
WOR SHIP- S TR EE T.
George Brown, a journeyman shoemaker, was charged be-
fore Mr. Broughton with having violently assaulted Catherine
Blit,th, a young woman, of respectable appearance, aged 17 ;
and a young man named John Tillyer, was charged with having
resisted the police, and attempted to rescue the prisoner from
custody.
No fewer than thirteen witnesses were examined in support
of the charge, of whose evidence the following is a short ab-
stract :—lt appeared that, about six o'clock on Saturday even-
ing the complainant was passing Whiteeross-street, when she
was accosted by the prisoner Brown, who asked her what she
meant by having called him "a Newgate thief," and spread
other reports that were prejudicial to his character. She felt
much surprised at such an accusation, and assured him that he
laboured under a great mistake, as she knew nothing whatever
respecting him ; but, notwithstanding her denial, the pri-
soner immediately struck her a violent blow on the
face, which cut open her lip and caused a stream of
blood to flow from it. The prisoner afterwards struck
her a severe blow under the eye, and was proceeding to further
acts of violence, when a tradesman,
' named Cockley, who wit-
nessed the outrage, prevented bins from doing so, and imme-
diately dispatched his errand boy in search of a policeman.
After abusing him in gross language for his humane interven-
tion the prisoner made off before the arrival of the officer, but
some hours after the complainant happened to meet him in an
adjoining street and gave him into custody. 'f he policeman,
however, had no sooner taken the charge than he was knocked
down by a fellow named Dillon, who was in company with the
prisoner, and the latter a second time effected his escape, but
he was afterwards recaptured in one of the low courts of the
neighbourhood, and was conveyed, after a desperate resistance,
to the station-house. It required six policemen to secure his
caption, an immense mob having assembled, who made repeated
efforts to rescue him from custody.
The prisoner Tillyer having been observed to take an active
part in the resistance that was offered to the police, he was also
apprehended and included in the charge.
On behalf of the prisoner Tillyer two respectable tradesmen
came forward, who expressed themselves confident that the
policemen had mistaken him for some other person, as he -was
utterly incapable of the outrageous acts that were attributed to
him.

Jr. BROUGHTON said that the offence with which Tillyer
was charged was one of a most serious nature, but he felt some
difficulty in deciding upon it after the excellent character he
had received, and he should therefore require him to find bail
to answer it at the sessions. The prisoner Brown stood on a
very different footing, it having been placed beyond doubt that
he had committed a most brutal and cowardly assault on a de-
cent young woman, who had not given him the slightest pro-
vocation, and he should therefore fine him 505., or commit him,
in default, for two months to the House of Correction.

ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA.—Accounts from Pa-
lermo, of the 9th ult., state that the eruption of Mount Etna
at that period was considered to have come to its termination.
For the fortnight previously the old crater continued to send
forth hot ashes, smoke, sand, and lava. The latter
had continued to flow, but had turned aside from the
direction of Bronte, which was deemed out of danger. The
lands of Basiliani are half covered over, and it is thought
that the lava will go as far as Gripito. The whole distance
it has run over is about ten miles, it having gone across the
public road in a stream 60 feet wide. On the 24th November
a second crater opened near Coriazzo, from which a fresh
stream of lava flowed towards Cartiera. It continued to ad-
vance in the same direction up to the day when the accounts
left, making its passage by a frightful accident, which occa-
sioned a considerable loss of life. Not far from Cartiera the
lava collected in a low spot, where a quantity of water was
lying. As it continued to form a smoking mass, a number of
spectators came from various points to look at the unusuti,
spectacle. A number of workmen were also employed in cut-
ting down the trees near the spot. All at once a loud explo-
sion was heard, from the steam produced by the lava acting,
on the water, and the superincumbent maps was thrown around
in all directions with great violence. Vpwards of sixty per-
sons were killed or severely burnt by the burning steam and
pieces of red-hot lava, some of them at a distance of 159
metres. The horses and muloq whieh had brought the crowd
there were also much injured, and the scene is described as an
exceedingly lamentable one. The exact number of persons
killed is not stated.

RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIASM.—Dming the whole of
last week, special services were W9Anteti to he observed daily
at the Wesleyan chapel at tlolmArth ; and as early as six
o'clopic ici thp Morning numhers of devotees might be observed
wending their way towards the meeting-house. It was on one
of these occasions that a most melancholy incident occurred, hy
which considerable alarm was communicated to the assernWe4
members. Amongst the congregation was the wife of a ;e,
spectable general shopkeeper in the neighbourhood, named
Joshua Moseley, a wernan noted for her activity in the Me,
thodist cause, and for her regular attendance at ()limpet On
thii particular occasion, however, she rayed with wore than

ON LEADING QUESTIONS IN
POLITICS.
If we examine the different periods of our history,
we shall find that every one has been distinguished
by some measure of engrossing interest which has
stood, for the time, in the foreground of general
politics, and cast all other questions into the shade.
For example, during the first fifteen years of the
present century, the all-absorbing question was
the conduct of the war with Revolutionary France ;
and, until it should be brought to a satisfactory
termination, it was clear that no other question
would attract the serious attention of the public ;
and hence many political questions, of great im-
portance in themselves, such as the claims of the •
Catholics and the state of the Parliamentary repre-
sentation—could not obtain that degree of considera-
tion to which they were justly entitled, under other
circumstances. When, in 1815, the war was brought
to a close, the Catholic question then rose to the
first place in British politics ; and, for the next
fourteen years, all other public questions—such as
Parliamentary reform and fire trade—were viewed
as of minor importance, until this great question
should be finally settled. After the settlement of
the Catholic question, in 1829, the reform of our
Parliamentary representation became the leading
question of the day ; and, in 1832, it was brought
to a settlement, which, although not founded upon
any broad principles, would appear to have been
viewed, by the leaders of the movement, at the time,
as a final adjustment of the question. Free trade
then became the prime question of the age ; and
although, for some time it made but slow progress,
it has advanced of late with such rapidity, that
every person of discernment must be satisfied that
the term of its adjustment cannot be far distant, and
all must be sensible that there cannot now be any
respite to the political agitation which it has en-
gendered, except by a complete triumph of its prin-
ciples ; and further, it must be abundantly manifest
that no other matter of national interest can be pur-
sued, with any rational prospect of success, while the
question of free trade holds its present position in
the politics of the day. This, indeed, is so much the
case, that we have heard even Tories admit that, al-
though still convinced of the expediency of corn-laws,
they were so sensible that public opinion had set in
against them so decidedly, that no hopes of resisting
their abolition could now be reasonably entertained ;
and, as the agitation created by the contending
parties was most prejudicial to the interests of
the country, they would be happy to see the prin-
ciples of free trade conceded nt once by the pre-
sent Cabinet. For our own part, we are so im-
pressed with the conviction that all other plans of
national improvement are at present brought to a
stand-still by the attention of the public being so
much turned to the question of free trade, that we
deem it our duty to urge it upon all those who feel
an interest in such schemes, not to delay coming
forward and helping to effect a speedy settlement. of
the question which, at present, obstructs the progress
of all others. We would beg to assure the friends
of Complete Suffrage, that we are as much convinced
as they can possibly be of the necessity for a new
reform in our Parliamentary representation, and are
heartily willing to join them in their efforts to
accomplish this object; and to those who have set
their hearts on establishing some general scheme of
national education, we have to say that we sincerely
respect their devotedness to so noble a cause, and are
eager to co-operate with them therein when the proper
time for it shall arrive ; and the advocates of Church
reform may be well assured that we are as great
sticklers for freedom in religion as in trade. But we
do beg to submit it to the consideration of all who
contend for these great measures, that, from the posi-
tion which the free trade question has acquired, there
is not the slightest chance of any one of these ques-
tions being taken up effectually until the other has
been finally adjusted.
To discuss the merits of this question, we hold to
be now utterly superfluous ; for we scan scarcely
bring ourselves to think a person in earnest who
would maintain that the corn-laws are for the benefit
of the country at large, and fancy that few Con-
servatives even will venture to controvert the opinion
of Sir James Graham, that " the principles of free
trade are those of common sense." Indeed, if ever
there was a great question upon which all persons
of reflection and intelligence were agreed, it is this—
that the present system of corn-laws is a very bad
one, and cannot, by any means, be kept up much
longer. Now, this being the case, and it being ap•
parent to all that the doom of the present Corn-laws
is written, why, we repeat, does not every friend to
national improvement, whether Whig or Tory, come
forward now to accelerate a change which he knows
to be inevitable ? We are in hopes that the next
meeting of Parliament will bring about the settle-
ment of this important measure, provided the
advocates for it now act with sufficient zeal and
determination ; and, as it must be admitted that
Aberdeen has not yet distinguished itself so promi-
nently upon this national question as it did upon
that of Reform, we trust it will now come forward,
and show, by its demonstration on the 15th inst.,
that the principles of free trade are as well understood
and appreciated here as in Manchester, Birming-
ham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, or any other of the great
towns. It strikes us that the only difference which
can possibly now exist among Liberals, on this
question is whether we ought to have total abolition
(which, for many reasons, we decidedly support),
or a moderate fixed duty, fot the sake of revenue ;
and this difference is certainly not of sufficient im-
portance for the two parties to keep aloof from one
another. One consideration we would beg leave to
press upon the attention of both these parties—
namely, to beware that they do not fall into the mis-
take which was committed at the settlement of the
Reform question, when, by agreeing to a partial
measure, the advocates of it effected but a temporary
adjustment of it, and have left to us the necessity of
again undergoing the turmoil and exertion necessary
to accomplish a final settlement. We do hope (and
we feel confident that every intelligent person who
desires earnestly to promote the moral improvement
and material interests of the country, will join us in
the wish) that the next change which takes place in
our system of corn-laws will be a final settlement of
the great question of free trade.—Aberdeen Herald.

VISIT FROM A DEPUTATION OF
THE LEAGUE.

At length it may be said that corn-law emancipa-
tion is almost within reach. The gigantic injustice
perpetrated by the corn-laws bids fair to be speedily
numbered among the things that were. England,
throughout all its towns and most of its counties, is
speaking out in accents which are neither to be over-
looked nor misunderstood ; and Scotland is as firm
and as determined too. With a free press, a penny
postage, and the right of public discussion, the cause
of a nation, founded upon justice and maintained with
energy, is drawing visibly nearer to the moment of
final and complete success. And when that day has
come, and the peaceful and bloodless laurels of the
triumphs of argument and truth have been won, the
history of the corn-law contest will form one of the
most remarkable eras in the annals of the kingdorii.
When it is remembered that the Anti-Corn-law
League is a body self-originated, and, in the strictest
sense, non-partisan--a body which a few years ago was
yet in an embryo state, composed of a few public-
spirited citizens of Manchester,•all of whom probably
might have been contained within an ordinary pri-
vate room—its rise and growth to its present colossal
proportions are without a parallel in our history.
Never before was there so much energy, intelligence,
wealth, and numbers, similarly organised and arrayed
outside the walls of Parliament; never before did the
middle classes assume a shape so distinct and palpable,
or take up a position so quietly abreast of the other
" powers that be ;" never before was there such a
vote of confidence passed by a large portion of the
people in favour of such a body, as the raising of a
subscription of 50,000/. for the last year, followed by
a subscription of 100,0001. for the year now current.
And when it is considered how vast a power hcs
accrued to the leaders of the League, deep is the
debt of gratitude which should be felt for the manner
in which they have acquitted themselves of their most
onerous duties. In spite of gross provocation, in de.
fiance of all attempts to intimidate, and with the
quiet and resolute calmness of men confiding impli-
citly that truth is great and will assuredly prevail,
they have hitherto conducted the great movement
with eminent moderation and judgment. The earnest
eloquence, the clear temperate reasoning, and the
manly courage of Mr. Cobden and his distinguished
friends (some of whom are now about to visit S--ot_
land along with him on their philanthron:-: mission)
have long ago silenced everythine•
argument on
the side of the monopolist!, and have even well nigh
The
shamed their libel.l.Jrs into mutes.
The ri:,7fuation •
by which the monopolists, from the
vaunting tone of confident defiance in 1841, have
come rapidly down to their present level, is one of
those instances of railway- progress which seems to
characterise so many great movements of late years.
In the session of 1842, there were at least some
quack arguments offered on behalf of the corn-laws,
followed up by copious libels on the manufacturers
supporting the League, which were uttered appa-
rently in the vain hope of diverting attention from
the subject at issue. But these resources soon failed.
Then the session of 1843 arrived, and " do-nothing,"
" say-nothing," was the order of the day—an order
most implicitly followed, save when some Mem-
ber or some Minister (like Sir E. Knatchbull)
blundered out the suicidal plea, that the corn-
laws must be maintained in order to keep up
rents, and enable landowners to provide the better
for their wives and children. That session passed
away, ani while the influence of Parliament with the
country was Palpably on the wane, the influence of
the
_deague was monthly and almost daily on tW in-
crease. And now the session of 1,44 is about to
open. What may be the xlext move of the monopo-
lists, it were vain to conjecture ; there being no Moo

after check mate, which seems to be their present
position. But nevertheless there are two things re-
specting which a prediction may be ventured, and
both seem worthy of some attention. The first is,
that free discussion and the corn-laws cannot much
longer exist together ; and unless the people can be
compelled to forego the former, the monopolists mutt
make up their mind to part with the latter. The f P
cord 13, that, judging from the recent tokens exbilmtcd
by the election-hustings, if the monopolists persist
much longer in their present course, they will teach
the much calumniated League manufacturers, a speeini-
of new manufacture of which the monopolists are litt/i
dreaming—the manufacture of a majority of ti
House of Commons.—Scotsman.

THE ALLEGED DETENTION OF
SUM OF MONEY BY THE PORTUGUESY
GOVERNMEN T.
The following is the copy of a letter transmitted I e
Lloyd's by Messrs. Melhuish, Gray, and Co., receive('
by them from the Foreign-office, upon the subject).
the alleged detention of a sum of money by the Po
tuguese Government, produced by the sale of a portie:
of the cargo of the Chatham, wrecked on the coastak
Portugal, which appears to exonerate that Goverr
ment from the charge of vexatious caution :
" Foreign-office, Jan. 5, 1844.
" Gentlemen,—'With reference to your letter of
the 6th of December last, respecting the delay of the
Portuguese Government to pay over to the proper
parties the sum produced by the sale of a portion of
the cargo of the Chatham, a vessel which was wrecked
on the coast of Portugal in November, 1842, I am
directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acquaint you
that he has received a dispatch from Lord Howard
de Walden, enclosing a Report from her Majesty's
Consul at Lisbon, upon the circumstances connected
with the delay of which you complain. ,
" Mr. Smith states that the Messrs. Bendel], the
agents for Lloyd's at Figueras, made known to him
that they held proper authority from the master of the
Chatham, and trom the parties interested iu her cargo,
to receive the amount which was in the hands of the
Portuguese authorities. He immediately applied to
the Portuguese Minister of Finance upon the matter;
that, after a considerable lapse of time, the power held
by Messrs. Rendall was submitted by Mr. Paize, their
agent at Lisbon, to the Minister of Finance, who re-
ferred it to the Treasury Board, and that the docu-
ment was deemed insufficient by the Treasury, be-
cause it was not signed by all the owners of the cargo
of the Chatham. Mr. Smith states that Mr. Paize was
duly informed of this by the Minister of Finance,
who suggested that the amount of the sale should be
immediately paid through the Portuguese financial
agent in London, to the solicitors for Lloyd's, or to
any other parties legally authorised to receive the
money, upon their giving such an acknowledgment as
would release the Portuguese Government from all
further responsibility in the matter. Mr. Paize con-
sidered this proposal fair and satisfactory, but could
not accede to it without first consulting his principals,
who, when consulted, appear to have refused to accede
to the arrangement.
" Mr. Smith further reports that, he has no doubt,
from a conversation which he has had with the Por-
tuguese Minister of Finance, that such a proposal
will he submitted for the final settlement of this busi-
ness, as will be considered satisfactory.

servant, .(Signed) " CANNING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Liverpool Times has an article on
the subject of the poachers who, the other day,
were convicted of killing Lord Derby's game-
keeper, and argues forcibly and praiseworthily
to save the lives of all except the actual killer.
Now, seeing that there are at this time persons
under sentence of death in several gaols in this
kingdom, and many persons are anxious on the
subject of their fate, I may venture to say that,
in future, no persons will suffer death fir any
offence. That most horrible custom ha's ceased.
Such is the case, as all must admit who remem-
ber the escape from death of Stolzer, who was
ordered for execution at the Old Bailey in No-
vember last, for as cold-blooded a murder as
ever was perpetrated, but who, I am glad to
know, was reprieved from death and transported
for life, instead of being publicly strangled in
the open street. This, of course, puts an end to
the punishment of death, as it is morally impos-
sible that any one should, after the escape of
this Berman, suffer this barbarous punishment.
Your obedient servant,
Jan. 5, 1844. B. T.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF FIFTY-THREE FISHER'
smr.—On the morning of the Ist instant, at five o'clock, nine
fishing boats and fifty-three men left Aberdeen for the fishing-
ground, with light winds from the south-west. Soon after
sunrise, the wind suddenly increased to a heavy
gale, right off the land, and by ten o'clock blew
a hurricane, rendering their position almost hope-
less. Every exertion was made to pull in for the
land, but their efforts were in vain, and they became quite
exhausted. By a merciful interposition of Providence, her
Majesty's revenue cruiser Greyhound, Lieutenant Dooley, R.N.,
commander, was running to the southward at the time, and fell
in with the scattered boats, eight miles off the land, with their
crews so exhausted that to reach the shore was impossible, ana
nothing but a watery grave before them. This humane
officer and his gallant crew lost not a moment in affording
them every relief, and before noon had succeeded is getting
every man on board, some of whom were upwards of seventy
years of age, so weak from exertion that they required to be
" parbuncled" up the side of the cruiser. The boats were all
taken in tow, and every effort made to preserve them and the
property ; but the gale continuing, and the sea increasing, some
of them already sinking or sunk, the last two were cut away
about three in the afternoon. It has since been ascertained
that all the boats had reached the shore in safety, ex-
cept two; and even these, it is to be koped, have been
picked up by some vessel, or made some harbour to the.
northward. The poor fellows were all landed in safety at
Leith on Tuesday, the 2d instant, and taken charge Of
by the managers of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mari-
ners' Benevolent Society. They embarked for their homes on
Thursday, on board the Bonny Dundee steamer, at Granton.--*
Edinburgh Paper.
DEAFNESS.—A highly interesting paper on the
efficacy of Arnica Montana in the cure of Nervous Deafness wet
read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin, of Craven-street.
In the introductory part the lecturer observed, that there
was a wide distinction between Nervous Derangements and
structural changes. After noticing the difference between
deafness arising from mere torpor or increased nervous ac-
tion, and that which arises from structural alteration of the
organs, he remarked that deafness was much more prevalent
than generally imagined, and attributed the frequent failure of
aurists to the total inattention to those distinctions. He next
entered into a general outline of the natural history, chemical
constitution, and medicinal virtues of the Arnica, showing
that it possessed stimulating properties, which were rapidly
succeeded by tranquillising or sedative effects. That from the
relief afforded in several distressing nervous affections, he via.
induced to try it in Nervous Deafness ; that it was attended,
with complete success. The Doctor hen brought forward
several well-marked eases, which, having resisted the ordinal
treatment, were rapidly relieved by Arnica ; and concluded
most important and interesting lecture, which was listened to
with marked attention by the professional and other gentle-
men who were present, by stating that the College of Physician. •
had expunged this valuable medicine from their present Phar-
macopeia, but hoped in their next it would be restored to itr
old place.

On Monday, the Bth instant, the Venerable
Archdeacon Sinclair laid the first stone of the New Church, •
St. John's, Kensington. The site of the church is on
eminence opposite to Notting Hill, and commands a viow of
the whole surrounding country. The building will be in tho
Gothic style of architecture, and if the funds prove sufficientg
will include a tower and spire. Provision will be made for the
accommodation of 1,500 persons. On Sunday last the Arch-
deacon opened for Divine Service the new 'National School"
rooms in the Potteries of Kensington, preparatory to the ere"
tion of another church for the north-western -portion of the
parish.
