THE BISHOP EXET
RO'
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The mild and tolerantßishop 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-
land, 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 " rill
her goods to feed the poor," and to build churches and
parsonages, bat lacking—not that godlike spirit of
" charity," or love, which with St. Paul was of such
great account, and with " 11. 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! Ile 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-half of the
people of England, besides the vast majority of our
trans-atlantic Protestant brethren. Ile, therefore, cannot
be a Protestant ; and if a Christian himself, he is a
very unapostolie one!

TH E ROYAL BUC KHOUNDS.—D BATH OF THB
CELEBRATED STAG n MFIFLYER.—The royal buck-
hounds had one 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 style 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
Easthampstead, to lienuik, r-lodge, near Finchamp-
stead, without a check, ard at a rattling racing pace.
Here the pack were at fau!t, ; but upon being laid on on
the heath, Highflyer mad,- for Eversley, in 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 fbr 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-mountiid horsemen—and none but the
best of cattle could live the pace—were up at the finish.
MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.--We are
happy to announce that this spirited Company have ex-
tended their terminus to Crown-street, in Botchergate,
and that on Monday last passengers were taken up at the
new station. We may add that if the late severe frost
had not intervened, the line would have been opened
throughout on New Year's-day. As it is, the opening
may be expected to take place about the Ist of Feb-
ruary.—Carlisle Patriot.
DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD IN THE
TRUNK OF A TREE.—On Tuesday, between twelve and
one o'clock, the body of a new-born child was conveyed
by the police to the St. Pancras workhouse, having been
discovered near Highgate that morning under the fol-
lowing singular circumstances :—A number of boys had
gone into the fields near the Ilighgate Cemetery, and
some of them proceeded to climb an old tree, situate be-
tween Swain's-lane, leading to the cemetery, and the
upper part of Maiden-lane. Whilst thus engaged one of
the boys got 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 feel
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 decomposed, 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 Bicester
petty sessions on Monday last, the 6th inst., two mer
were brought before the magistrates (the Rev. A. IL
Matthews and Mr. W. Style), in custody, from the
Bicester lock-up, or cage, where they had been confined
upwards of 24 hours, charged by Mr. J. H. Mansell, the
governor of the Bicester union poorhouse, with having
on the previous day—Sunday !—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 oEcer for
relief for the night. They were supplied with an order
for admission to the poorhouse, and in consequence ad.
mitted. Supper was given them that night, and lodging
in the vagrant ward. On the following morning (Sure:
day), before their departure, the governor called on thew
to pump a large tank full of water. This the men re-
fused to do, as they said, because it was Sunday. The
complainant, in consequence, gave them into custody ,
and they were taken to Bicester (about a mile), ant
there locked up, as above stated. The parties gave the•
names of William Smith and William Pudler. Thu
magistrates committed them to Oxford gaol for 14 days'
hard labour.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Joseph Payne held an in-
quest on Tuesday at the Vestry- hall. Horselydown, on
the body of Henry Edward Roberts, aged thirty-nine, a
corn-porter, of No. 3, Goat-street, Horselydown. It
appeared from the evidence that on boxing-night the
deceased, with his brother-in-law, spent the evening
with some friends at No. 6, Queen-street. About eleven
o'clock, whilst going down stairs, his foot slipped. To
break his fall, he caught hold of the banisters, which
broke, and he fell heavily on his back into the passage.
On being picked up he was found to be sensible, but
had lost all use of his limbs. He was removed home,
aril was attended by Mr. Miskin, a surgeon, until
Saturday night last, when he died. The cause of death
was found to be extravasation of blood into the mem-
brane, covering the spinal cord. Verdict—Accidental
death.

CAUGHT AT LAST.—Some months ago a convict
made his escape from the custody of the officers who
were carrying him to Woolwich, by leaping f; mil a rail-
way train, while passing through a tunnel at the rate of
upwards of thirty miles au hour. His escape was not
discovered until the train had emerged into daylight.
when the policeman started back in pursuit, but did not
succeed in recapturing their lost charge, though they
found his hat on the further side of the tunnel. From
that time nothing more was heard of the fugitive until
last week, when it was discovered that Plummer, the
burglar, who was tried at the late askizes at Durham,
was the individual. lie states that the first person who
relieved him was a policeman, who furnished him with a
bat, and gave him some coffee, after which he wended
his way northward, and escaped discovery until appre-
hended on the charge for which he has now been trans-
ported.—Durham Chronicle. _

- ON DlT.—The lovers of scandal, and those of
prurient tastes, are likely to have ample food to
gratify their appetite during the next term, in a crins.
con. case, which is to form a subject of discussion
amongst the gentlemen of the long robe. The
injured suitor is a young gentleman of one of the
learned professions, who married a very beautiful Eng-
lish lady, and the Lothario is an elderly gentleman of
fortune, resident in Dublin, and the father of a large
family. Great exertions were made to compromise the
matter, but up to the present they have been unsuccess-
ful. Commissioners have gone to London to take the
evidence of parties who could not attend. It was in that
city the alleged criminal conversation commenced,- _

Brigstocke has received the commands of Captain Nott,
the son of the gallant General, also to paint one for the.
family, and the gallant General himself was so struck.
with its accuracy, that he commissioned that gentleman,
to paint the likeness of ev,ry member of his family for
Job's Well House, the mansion in course of erection fop
the late gallant General near Carmarthen, but the build-
ing of which has been suspended on account of his me-
lancholy demise.

ATROCIOUS CASE.—A man cf the name of M‘Millan
was charged before the Gorbais Police-court, on Thurs-
day, with committing a savage assault on his wife, ag-
gravated with being previously convicted of a similar
offence. From the evidence, it appeared that he had
returned home drunk early in the morning, when he
dragged his wife out of bed and forced her on the fire,
whereby she was severely burned, and threatened to
hold her on the fire " until the spittle boiled in her
mouth !" The presiding magistrate, Bailie Gen:mil' ,
after animadverting on the atrocity of the offence, ;
gretted that he could not inflict a heavier punishm
and sentenced the culprit to pay a fine of 5., or to r
Bridewell for sixty days. The prisoner was re; 40,,,`,1`,1,
from the bar, grumbling about the seventy of tka
ment.—Glesguto Argus.
