DEPARTURE OF AN AMERICAN LINER.—On Satur-
day last the beautiful new ship Victoria, belonging to
the regular line of packets sailing between London and
New York, left St. Katharine Docks for the latter place
with eighty passengers, the majority of whom were
agriculturists. The above fine vessel is 938 tons bur-
then, and has taken out a very small cargo of fancy
goods. She took out 300 tons of chalk as ballast.
FRAUDS ON vnn ThavErtum.—ln consequence of the
gross irregularities which have been recently discovered
in the St. Katherine Docks, four officers connected
with the vaulting and delivery department have been
suspended, and a rigid inquiry is going on, which it is
expected will lead to important disclosures.
INNOVATIONS IN TIIE CHURCII.—We have been
informed that a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen
took place on • Friday, to consider the propriety of
adopting some active measures with respect to the pre-
sent disturbed state of the Church on those matters
which have recently been so much the subject of dis-
cussion. The meeting, which had been convened by
private circular, took place, as we are informed, at Lord
Howard's, in Belgk-ave-square. The proceedings were
all preliminary, but a committee was appointed to draw
up for approval a memo:ial, to be addressed either to
the Queen or the ArchbiOop of Canterbury, as may
hereafter be deterniined.', it was agreed that there
should Le another meeting, as ~We understand, AL which
some definite course will be determined upon; bat at
the time the sleeting was held it w.as supposed that there
was to be a meeting of the Bishops, ,to consider the state
of the Church with respect to the recent innovations.
As it is understood that the meeting o.f\the Bishops will
not take place, the further proceedings
.of the parties
who met ea Friday will not now lee delay god to await its
result.
