PRAYER.

Lord EBRINGTON rose to present a petition
from the Rev. Dr. Car withen, rector of Stoke Clirns-
'and, in the diocese of Exeter, praying that the sto-
oges 2 and 3 Edward VI., c. 1, and 1 Elizabeth, c. 2,
may be repealed; and that the House will procure a
calm and temperate review of the Book of Common
Prayer, rubrics, and canons of the Church of England.
The petitioner stated that he was bound by the
canons and his ordination vows to obey the commands
of his bishop; and that by Acts 2 and 3 Edward VI.,
and 2 and 3 Elizabeth, he was liable to be indicted
by any common informer for any deviation from
the rubric ; and that on conviction he was liable to a
heavy fine and a lengthened imprisonment. That on
conviction for a third offence he was liable to depri-
vation of all ecclesiastical preferment, and to impri-
sonment for life. That archbishops and bishops were
liable to these punishments for such offences, as well
as the inferior clergy ; and that he was anxious to
perform his ministrations according to the directions of
his bishop, and according to law. The petitioner then
alluded to the excited state of the diocese of Exeter, and
stated that he bad recently received three pastoral
letters from his bishop on the subject, all of which
were of different import, and that he felt at a loss
to know how to perform his ministry with safety to
himself and with satisfaction to his parishioners. He
therefore prayed the House to review the directions
contained in the rubric and the Book of Common
Prayer, as neither the archbishops nor the bishops,
either individually or collectively, possessed the power
of altering a single letter in them—that the present
time appeared to the petitioner to resemble the times
just after the restoration of Charles 11., when it was
found that the rubric was unsuited to the times,
and that monarch was advised to issue a letter to the
Convocation, commanding them to revise the Book
of Common Prayer, when certain alterations were
proposed therein, and approved of by Parliament.
The petitioner, with all due deference, submitted to
the House that a party had without appealing to con-
vocation altered the rubric in the Marriage Act of
George 111., and he prayed the llouse to take the
subject into serious consideration. The Noble Lord
also presented a petition on the same subject, and to
the same effect, from another place, signed by the
Mayor and Corporation.
After a considerable pause,
Mr. HUME rose and said he wished that in the
taxes which were intended to be repealed that on the
exportation of coals would be included.

CORN RETURNS.

Mr. MILES moved for certain corn returns, in
continuation of other returns previously ordered.
EDUCATION IN INDIA.

Mr. IIUME, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman the
Vice-President of the Board of Control in his place,
would take the opportunity of asking whether there
was any objection to lay on the table the educational
order of the Governor-General of India, of August,
1844 ? • _ _

Mr. BARING's answer was wholly inaudible, but
from Mr. Ilume's appearing to be satisfied with it, it
was supposed to be, that there was no objection to the
return.
LARD ELLENBOROUGH _ _

Mr. llUllit wished_further to ask, if there would
be any objection to lay before the House the cor-
respondence which hid taken place between-the Di-
rectors of the East India Company and her Majesty's
Government on the subject of the recal of Lord El-
lenborough ?
Mr. BAnING was again inaudible to the gallery
in his answer, but it was received with laughter in
the House.

Mr. HUME said if the Government had no inten-
tion to present the papers, perhaps there would be no
objection to his moving for them himself?—(A laugh.)
Mr. BARING'S answer was not heard.
IDOLATRY IN INDIA.—JUGGERNAUT.
Sir R. H. INGLIS would take that opportu-
nity, as the affairs of India had been introduced,
to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether anything
had been done to carry into effect the minute of the
Board of Directors of the East India Company, which
was to the effect that the Government of India should
be separated from all connexion with idolatry and
superstition. He wished to ask whether the pay-
ment of 60,000 rupees per annum to the idol of
Juggernaut was continued, or that the land
formerly appropriated to the worship of that religion
hail been restored to the temple, so as to sever the
Christian Government of India from the support of
idolatry ? A second question he wished to ask was,
whether any steps had been taken to separate the
Pagoda lands in Madras (as we understood) from the
Government and transfer them to the management of
natives, as had been already successfully done in the
presidency of Bengal ?
Mr.IINRING was understood to say that, with re-
spect to the last question, no further information had

LN THE CASE OF FRANK, A LUNATIC.

This case stood on the paper to-day to be spoke to in the
minutes. The case came before the Court sometime since
upon petition, praying that a certain sum that bad been paid
might be reimbursed,' in order to satisfy a solicitor's bill.
On the case coming on, the Court pronounced its order, but
the parties not agreeing as to the minutes of the order, it
stood on the paper to be spoke to to-day. After some short
discussion, the Court finally settled the decree.

hour afterwards...no-leas than'six persons became immersed
by the ice breakingin, two places. The first accident took
p4ce,off the island, near the Humane Society's marquee,
where Mi. Bower, of No. 1, Powis- place, Queen-square,
Bloomsbury ;_Mr..Morrell, No. 14, Charles-street, Portman-
' square ; and John and Henry Davis, of No. 1, Great Barlow-
street, Marylebone, broke through into eight feet water, but
were extricated by icemen Southern, Winnott, and Griffiths.
The second accident took
_place on the Broad-water, where
Mr. Warren, of No. 37, Gloucester- place, New-road ; and
Mr. Townsend, of High-street, Camden-town, broke through
into seven feet water, but were rescued by icemen George
Clapson and John Winnott. All the above persons were
admitted into the marquee, and received assistance from the
Society's servants. Two of them (the Devises) were so ex-
hausted that it was fonnd necessary to put them into warm
baths, Sec."
The ice in St. James's Park is also very slight, not being
more than an inch and a quarter thick, and it will to-day
(Monday) be highly dangerous for persons to venture on.
The number of skaters during the day was about .5,000 and
about :40 accidents happened. Amongst the persons who
broke through were the following:—Samuel Sebley, No 14,
Arnold-place, Walworth ; George Legg, No. 2, Rochester-
row, Westminster ; George Barker, No. 27, Berwick street,
Pimlico ; James Gardener, No. 9, Broad-street, St. Giles's ;

and Joseph Male, 24, Buckingham-street, Strand, &c. The
whole of the above persons were, when rescued, taken to the
Humane Society's marquee, and placed in warm baths, and
received every attention until able to return home.
The icemen and other officers of the Royal Humane So-
ciety deserve the highest praise for their exertions in all the
parks, to which may be attributed the preservation of so
many persons from a watery grave.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1845.

Both Houses of Parliament sat last evening for a
short time.
In the House of Lords, the Earl of ST. GERMANS
took tke oaths and his seat. The Noble Earl took
his seat on the Ministerial side of the House, imme.
diately to the right of the Duke of WELLINGTON.
After the presentation of petitions,
The Earl of DALHOUSIE gave notice that he should
to-morrow lay before their Lordships papers relating

to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade,
and that he should, at the same time, submit his
views upon the extent of the jurisdiction of the
Board of Trade, and the course of proceeding adopted
by them in relation to railways.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented the answer to
the address.
Lord BROUGIIAM gave various notices on the sub-
ject of the law of bankruptcy.
A short conversation ensued between the Marquis
of NORMANBY and the Duke of WELLINGTON on the
subject of the delay which took place in forwarding
Bills to the Lords from the other House.

Lord MoNI EAGLE then moved for a series of papers
for the purpose cif showing the working of the financial
measures of the Government, and, in doing so, took
occasion to go into the question of the financial state
of the country generally.
The Duke of WELLINGTON had no objection to
grant the papers, but declined giving any answer to

The Court was occupied the remainder of the morning with
;he further arguments in this part-heard case.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
WILSON V. WILSON.—JUDGMENT.

His HONOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, which
was argued before him a short time since for seven days, and
upon which occasion we gave a statement of the facts. his
Honour, after going through the case at considerable length,
directed on the original bill a reference to the Master to
settle an agreement according to the articles of agree-
ment that had been drawn up between the parties,
giving the plaintiff his costs in the original suit
up to the hearing. The Court also ordered the cross-bill to
be dismissed with costs, on the ground that:although it al-
leged fraud none had been proved. The relief prayed by the
original bill was granted, and cross-bill dismissed with costs.
The original bill was filed by Mrs. Wilson for the specific per-
formance of articles of separation which had been agreed to
between herself and her husband, the defendant. The de-
fendant filed a cross-bill, stating that the agreement was
obtained by fraud and misrepresentation. The hear-
ing of the original bill was objected to on the ground
that the Court had no jurisdiction. His Honour, however,
decided that it had, and that it was not against public policy,
or the public weal, that it should have such jurisdiction. The
Court, therefore, decreed the specific performance of the arti-
cles, and made the orders we have already stated.
His HONOUR gave judgment in two or three other cases,
some of which involved points of practice, but none calling
for any particular report.
PEARCE V. BROOKS.
The Court then proceeded to hear the further arguments
in these part-hoard cases, which came before the Court pre-
vious to the recess, upon no less than five causes. The argu-
ments appear likely to occupy some days.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice WIGIITM--tN.)

THE EARNINGS AND PITTANCE

TAX.

A tax on earnings is a twofold bane—
A gyve on liberty, a clog on thrift
Less like a statesman's than a despot's shift ;
We've writh'd beneath 't too long to writhe again.
Uneconomic is it, as 'twould be
To dam some feeder of a fruit'ning flood,
To cut away some toproot of the tree,
To drain the chyle, or bleed the scant of blood.
But these are petty views, compar'd with this,
fh' uncohgtitutional, which, wisely scann'd,
Notes something with our freedom much amiss,
When Government's a Pry throughout the land ;
And domiciltar* search --'tis nothing less—
Prolific, n ,w, of fraud; now, mulcts spare, frank distress.
BOANERGES.

* The inquisition into the contents of the account
bo,k and b dger of the professional, mercantile, and
trading man ; and into the pocket or memorandum
book of the pensioner (male and female), the widow,
the orphan, and the poor gentleman, is domi-
ciliary search with a vengenrY, and in the shape of an
extortioner to boot.

TEIGNMOUTIL—The surplice is still continued. On
Sunday last the greater part of a very small congre-
gation left the church, amidst much noise and confusion.
Report says that the worthy incumbent is preparing for
a siege, and that on Sunday next, the police are to guard
the church to prevent an uproar, that the surplice wor-
shippers may not be disturbed. The only mode left is
to petition Parliament, and it is to be hoped
that not many days will elapse before that
constitutional method of expressing the feelings
of the people will be adopted. Nothing must be
left undone which can constitutionally be done, until the
surplice is left off in preaching ; the chair at the commu-
nion unscrewed, and turned round, that the clergyman
may not be ashamed to look his cengregation in the
face ' - and the weekly offertory abolished ; the watch
words must be, persevere and conquer, and until then,
and until the minister has expressed something like
contrition for his conduct, and apologised for his ill-
judged epistle to his parishioners, abstain from going
to Vest Teignmouth church.— Western Times.
THE LATE DR. ADERCROMEY'S PROFESSIONAL
LIBRARY.—We understand that the family of the late
Dr. Abercromby have presented his valuable professional
library, amounting to nearly one thousand volumes, to
the Royal College of Surgeons, of which he had been
a member since 1804. This munificent donation was
a nnounced to the College at its meeting on Monday last
—Scotsman.
SINGULAR ROBBERY.— OR Tuesday night, some
person cut and carried away about 180 feet of the copper
wire rope by which the signal fans close to the station
at Chelmsford, are worked. The weight of the wire
stolen is nearly half a hundred weight, and its value
about 101. The robbery must have been effected by same
person well acquainted with the position and value of
the property, but as yet no clue has been obtained.—

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Dee arrived
at Southampton yesterday. She was five days over-
due. She does not bring any specie on account of
Mexican dividends.

She does not bring any additional news from
Mexico. At the time of her departure, Santa Anna
was advancing upon Vera Cruz. He was closely
watched by Paredes, but no collision had taken place
between their troops.
The Dee, on the 22d ult. encountered a heavy gale
from W.N.W., which lasted three clays. One of her
paddle-floats was carried away.

rian circles to have promised their support against the con-
demnation of the Tract.—Front a Correspondent.

COVENT-GARDEN.

Antigone was repeated here on Saturday night, and more
effectively given than we have yet seen it. Vandenhoff, who
seems to have recovered his health, declaimed the sublime
poetry which Sophocles has put into the mouth of Creon
magnificently, and Miss Vandenhoff was as beautifully and
chastely classical as ever in Antigone. The choruses now
go admirably ; there is no longer that want of ensemble in
the singing which was but too perceptible on the first night
of the,performance. After the tragedy Mr. Hackett, the
American comedian, made his appearance in two pieces :in
the first as Monsieur Mallet, and in the second (The
Kentuckian), as Colonel Nimrod Wildfire. His
Monsieur Mallet is very -good, the best that has
appeared since poor Mathews. His Colonel Wildfire is ad-
mirable. He is the very beau ideal of Yankee backwoods
man genuine Kentuck, half horse, half alligator, with a
spice of the airthquake, and a sprikling of the steam-boat.
We have had various transatlantic artistes, who have given
us admirable sketches of the peculiarities of the American
character, but Hackett's delineations are finished pictures.
His personal appearance, too, is excellently suited to the
character of the Yankee Colonel. He looks like a man who,
in a battle with, a painter (panther), might be easily ima-
gined to have the best of it. We hope he will give us some
more of these American delineations before he leaves us. The
house was well attended.

"THE DIRECTION OF THE LINE.

"The course of the line will be as direct as practicable from
Leeds to Carlisle. It was at first proposed to run through
Otley, but arrangements will be entered into with the Leeds
and Thirak Railway Company for bringing that town in im-
mediate connexion with this line and the Leeds and Thirsk
-Railway, by a branch, which is proposed to be made by that
line to Skipton."—Carlisle Journal, Nov. 1, 1845.

[ADVERTISEMENT.J—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GAICASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use
of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo-
tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant,
and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence
was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and
preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used,
and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame-
rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons,
119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use
of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani-
mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with
their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are
their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to
the hair are worse than useless.

THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—DEATII OF ONE OF
VIM SUFFERERS.—LIVERPOOL, ..TVEBDAT.—In this melancholy oc-
currence a boy named Buckstone was so seriously injured that he
died early yesterday morning. He was a native of Liverpool, and
aged 14 years. Mr. Jones himself, we learn this morning, is
going on as favourably as could be expected. He has partially re-
covered his eight, and is in other respects better. We cannot,
however, as yet state that he is out of danger.

MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.
The Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junc-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this lino, the Committee have con-
sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-
liamentary contest ; and have, accordingly, entered into an arrange-
ment for the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
line, near Llangerrig, •instead of at Crewe. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,000/.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the List
o (applications ; and no application for Shares will be received after
WEDNESDAY NEXT, the sth day of November ,except from landowuen
gotlemen l9cdlly interested,

The Committee of Management have the gratification of announc-
ing that a mutually satisfactory arrangement has oeen concluded
with the Most N.ible the Marquis of Ailesbury, of Tottenham Park,
Wilts, through whose domain their line is ante, ded to run for a dis-
tance of nearly fifteen miles, by virtue of which his Lordship's
sanction and support are secured to the undertaking ; and the Earl
Bruce joins the Managing Direction, and gives his valuable aid in
pr• motion of the railway.
The Committee have further to announce that an agreement has
been entered into (and has been confirmed by a aerial meeting of its
proprietors) for purchase of the entire line of canal running from
Redbridge, by Romsey and Stockbridge. to Andover, a distance of
about twenty-five miles; thereby securing (4ubject to the sanction
of Parliament) another important portion of the ground to be tra-
versed by their line, and materially facilit tang its construction.
The Committee take this opportunity of stating that the deposits
upon shares have loon fully paid, that the survey of the line from
Cheltenham to Southampton will be c, mpleted this week, that as to
a considerable portion of their line to Poole the survey will also be
complete within a few days. and the remainder in full time for the
requisite Parliamentary deposits.
As regards the portion of line, between Selisbury and Poole, the
Committee have concluded a friendly arrangement with the London,
Salisbury, and 'Yeovil Junction Company, for their participation, to a
limited extent, in that line.

receiving the letters inclosing poison, the prisoner was
known to be in the habit of reading "Jack Sheppard,"
and books of a similar description, and it would be found on
perusing the anonymous communications, that they contained
language of a similar kind.
The foreman in Mr. Lewis's employ verified the truth of
the sergeant's statement, and said that he had taken " Jack
Sheppard" from the prisoner in his master's warehouse.
Mr. COTTINGRAM remarked that the foreman's evidence
strengthened the suspicion against the prisoner, who was
not bound to say anything in answer to the charge, but
was at liberty to make any statement he pleased. The
evidence against him, as it now stood, would render it
necessary to send the case to a jury, but he should first
remand the prisoner for a fortnight, and at the same time
admit him to bail on finding two securities of 501. each.
The Magistrate advised the prisoner's father to employ some
professional gentleman on behalf of his son at the next ex-
amination.
