SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING FAPERS OF THIS DAT.
STANDAII,D.—The Chapter of the diocese 0;.
Exeter have addressed to the Lord Primate a meme-
-tral,_ praying his Grace to consult with the Bishop
as to the best means of establishing uniformity if,
the order of public worship. The course pro-
poaed by the Chapter is no doubt open to some
objection:, and objections of considerable weigh;
have been offered against it; but, looking to tin
evil consequences that must flow from the present
state of affairs if notch longer continued, any;
unable to discover any better means of correct
dug that Unfortunate state, we must express no
anxious hope that the proposition of the Exeter Chap-
ter will be favourably received and lirrnly acted upon.
We have besides a complete confidence that the Bishop-
la ill decide with a full knowledge of what suits tie
age in which we live, and decide without pre-
judSeses and wisely. The characteristic, of our
time is practical v Common sense, which, with
out shikshting kmagination in that which is its pro-
per sp ere, the sphere of innocent pleasures, reject,
it absolutely from all the serious business o;
fife- This makes us severe and strict in all ow
greaser concerns, and there is none so grave as Mi•
makes also (though not in the bad sense)
jealous and sceptical. Whether it has originated it
our political inquiries or elsewhere, we will hardy
-submit -submit to anything without a reason for it, and
good one. And in truth our best religious teacher,
are somewhat to blame for this disposition, if the dig.
'.pooktion (which we are far from thinking) is one t,
.be famented. What are " Butler's Analogy," and
" Paley's Evidences," but practical commentaries
upon the Apostle's command to " prove all things F.
'Now, this being the temper of the time, as is wel
known to the Bishops, we have no apprehension that
their Lordships will not see the necessity of adapting
their arrangements to it, and take care that while
. public worship shall be conducted "decently and it,
order," no ceremonies shall be imposed that hav(
not the sanction of uninterrupted usage or manifest
utility ; sternly rejecting whatever is merely sym-
bolical, or otherwise only calculated to work con
fusedly upon the imagination. Such things, in thi,
mature age of the world, are objectionable a,
puerilities—injurious to the grave temper propel
for religions worship; and their puerility is cer-
tainly not atoned for by their known con-
nexion with Popish errors, both in those win
first introduced them, and in those who would noes
revive them. We repeat our conviction that th,
Bishops will see the necessity of restoring the order
of public worship universally to what it has beet
during the last two or three generations, without the
least regard to time-repealed rubrics, and obsolete
customs. The worst of revolutions, it was said
by Lord Somers, and afterwards by Mr. Fox
is a counter=revolution ; and the most offensive
of innovations is the renovation of what hat
been long and deliberately discarded ; tin
reason is the same in both. The counter-revo
talons and renovations are victories gained over
their former superiors by a lately depressed party.
and the hiStory of the world tells how such victories
are always used. The Bishops will be cautious hog
they draw upon Themselves, or, if they are careless
about themselves, as we truly believe they are, how
they draw upon the sacred Establishment of which
they are the guardians, the odium of giving a triumpl
to the Tractarian party, by setting up innovations of
renovations abstractedly distasteful to the people, and
rendered more intolerable by their apparent connexion
with Popish errors.
GLOBE.—Since we roused the attention of the
public to the state of our relations with Brazil there
has been nothing but restlessness in Downing-street
:sad Whitehall. The organ of the Board of Trade is
t,,ld to browbeat the _Ministers of Brazil ; and forth-
-t ith " insolent Brazil" is held up to scorn and
indignation for attempting to profit by the foolish
and selfsought perplexities of its super-subtle pre-
s,; lent. But this course being found inexpedient,
the apologist of the Foreign-office is instructed to
bold the language of conciliation, and to justify even
the Brazilian tariff! Accordingly, we learn that
" the sole object of it is revenue,"—that Brazil has
" hostile intentions towards us,"—that she is ac-
tuated only by one motive, " which Brazilian
-Ministers are bound to make the law of their conduct
--we mean the interest of the state which theygovern."
-Now, this is all beside the question. The intentions
of Brazil towards us may readily be supposed to be
iiiornired by her own views of her own interests, and
by a very natural desire to increase her trade, and, of
course, leer revenue. About her intentions towards
us, we may concern ourselves but little. The ques-
tion the public is interested in is, as to the intentions
of our own Government towards Brazil, which, as
far as they can he gathered from existing in-
formation, have reference neither to the exten-
sion of our trade nor to the increase of our reve-
nue ; but appear, on the contrary, calculated at once
to narrow the one and restrict the other. The attempt
now made to clothe the wretched policy of our
Cabinet with. a sentimental regard for the inte-
rests of our merchants, we discard as altogether
childish ; as the last resource of men who, struggling
both against events they either did not or would not
foresee, and principles they can no longer oppose,
and left destitute of any intelligible defence of their
policy, seek to disguise their failure under the
chimerical pretence of protecting our merchants from
the evils of over-trading and over-credits. Their
course in opposition left them no alternative but
to allow the Brazilian Treaty to expire without
making any attempt to renew it, and to risk the in- s
;serious consequences to our trade; and it precluded W.
'them from all frindly negotiation with a Power with hold
which we had long enjoyed an advantageous trade in of suet`
that very article which we still import, refine, and farming s,.

way into the tea or coffee of the labouring classes of
this country ! And, beyond even this, we may import

THE CASE OF INFANTICIDE AT
WOLVERHAMPTON.
CONCLUSION OF THE INQUEST.
This investigation was resumed on Friday last,
and adjourned on the evening of that day. On Tues-
' day the Coroner and jury met again, and after the
examination of several witnesses, whose testimony
added nothing to the general statements published last
week, the jury, after ten minutes deliberation, re-
turned the following verdict :—" That the said unknown
female child was born alive in the month of October,
in the year aforesaid, and died immediately after
her birth, and was found dead on the 28th day of
the same month, in the same year, in the night soil
of a certain privy situate in the parish aforesaid, in the
county aforesaid, and that her death was caused by ex-
travasation of blood upon the brain, the result of ex-
ternal violence, but how or by whom such violence was
caused, sufficient evidence does not appear to the said
jurors."

Mr. Sheriff was removed from the police station to
Stafford on the night of his commitment, and Miss Rail-
ton and Mr. Hildreth early on the following morning ;
but Mrs. llildreth has remained in the town, in conse-
quence of the ill state of her health.

DR. GLOVER., IN REPLY TO MR-
LETHEBY, ON THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE IN
BELANEY'S CASE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The only reply to Mr. Letheby which I think
myself called on to make through the public press, con-
sists in the correction of three misrepresentations of my
statement. In a letter to the Medical Gazette I have re-
plied more fully.
1. Mr. Letheby accuses me of endeavouring to prove
that the taste of prussic acid " must be hot." Now, I
only go the length of supposing this substance, when
swallowed in a poisonous dose, to be capable of giving
rise to a sensation which a person might term "hot," not
being in a condition to " search for choice expressions."
2. He tries to found something upon an inference
which he supposes me to make in Belaney's favour, from
his apparent intention of using the lancet. But I expressly
guard myself from drawing any such inference; and content
myself with showing, that as bleeding is, in the opinion of
most authorities, an excellent remedy iu such cases, and
in the opinions of others the very best remedy which
can be employed, it does not quite follow, as the Medical
Gazette bath it, that Belaney Wok out his lancet in
order to kill his wife.

3. no asserts that I dissent in. Into from the opinion
given by himself and Dr. Thomson in regard to the
smell of prussic acid remaining for some_timc in a room
where some of this substance may have been spilt. I
express no such dissent, but endeavour to show the exis-
tence of circumstances which explain the absence of
smell in the case in question.
The position which I hold is so secure, that Mr.
Letheby, like another opponent, in despair of being able
to attack it with success, has fallen on points which Ido
not hold, I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

MR. HURST'S AFFAIRS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Silt,— A grossly exaggerated statement in reference
to the affairs and pecuniary embarrassments of our pre-
sent Member, Robert Henry Hurst, Esq., having gone
the round of the principal newspapers of the day, copied
from the columns of the Brighton Guardian, which from
the evident vindictive feeling exhibited in the article iu
question is calculated, not only unnecessarily to wound
the feelings of Mr. Hurst and his connexions, and in-
flict a deep and lasting injury on the junior members of
his family, but also create an unfavourable impression in
the minds of strangers as to the tradesmen who are al-
luded to in that article—we, the undersigned tradesmen
of the borough of Horsham, with many of whom Mr.
Ilurst has for years past been in the habit of principally
dealing, feel it our duty, in justice to Mr. Hurst and
ourselves, thus publicly to deny, so far as our knowledge
and interests are conceraied, the truth of the statement
inserted in the Guardian reflecting on the character and
conduct of Mr. Hurst in reference to any debts con-
tracted with ourselves, or of which we have cognizance
with any other tradespeople. Our accounts have been
always fairly and honourably paid at the usual period of
the year for discharging the same, and we have every
confidence that our claims for the current year will be
discharged in like manner. So far from Mr. Hurst's
" disappearance" from Horsham being sudden and un-
expected to us, it was a matter of common notoriety for
some considerable time previously to his departure.
With regard to the alleged intended sale of his house-
hold furniture, farming stock, &c., the only disposition
of such property advertised is the ordinary sale of
farming stock, &c., by a gentleman quitting his farm
and declining to follow that occupation.
