ST Paifitles, PlULlC.o.—Yesterday the new Church
at Pimlico, called St. Peter's, was e• nsecrated by the
Right Rev. the Bishop of LONDON. Al er the he
ceremony,
which was id the usal form, had been gone through, t
Rev. Dean e f CARLISLI delivered a very impressive
discourse•on the text, v. The hove of the LORD is per-
feet." In the cour.e of his address the Revetea
Gentleman adverted to the want which had been
long felt of a new house of prayer in the extensive
parish of Pimlico, and expressed his satisfastion that
it had been supplied by so beautiful a building. The
Church, indeed, merits the compliment of the Rev. e
Delle•
It is in the interior extremely sitnple, yet elegant. T
altar is graced by Hivres's picture of Cainrigat
taken from Me Cross— (painted some time back)-0
,eut, we understood, from the Directors of the Brit
Instituti.:n. The voice of the preacher is distinctlf
audible in every part of the Church. In every respect
lie building is highly creditable to the ulents of the
itchitect, Mr. H SWELL. The ground on which the
,March is erected was presented to the perish by Ecti
.;nasv cson.

WOOLRYCH. Men pp, 442. c.hurn.
The A..tli r of the volume now before us happened.
io the presence of a friend, to hint his intention of
writing this lift. when, the latter instantly took the
own, and exclaimed. " Why. you su.ely ate not going
whi:ewash Jud:e Jeffrey• r The Author replied, ht
cotainly crulsl not thick of jurifying that lawyer upon
eery occa•ion, whose character was upon the ethyl-,
pone of the best; but that he saw no re.ts n why even
swell a mat as Jeffreys might not have had some good
gsalities, as well as others.
This prefatory remark is honourable to the character
da Biographer, who has evidently written, in a spirit
of extenuation, candour, and honesty. In, fact, the pro-
&diem is nolo of singular interest, and we shall be
obliged, and rather unwillingly too, to forego some re-
marks tha. • e haJ noted down on reading the work, in
Wert° admit an extract which cannot fail to excite ars
!ration, and, at the same time. convey an excellent spe-
c ften of our Author's style of composition. The fob
lowing recorJs a foul and dreadful transaction of the
Blondy Assists. and the contrast of the meek and per-
secuted Lady Lisle, with the behaviour of her vile and
iniquitous Judge is solemn, striking, and p serer ul.

pi cheater was the first place where the 'Ministers of Justice
marl; for bete was the Lady Alicia Liele awaltimg her trial--La
Iffy stonious Lady, tot bet huNband had been no other than the
trot John Vide, one of King Charles the First's Judges, a us.
ixts Republican, Seale timt LuA• President of the High Court of
/mice, and islet Commissioner of the Great Seal. Her offence
tootle harboorldg ens John Hicks, an alleged trahor, who was
hsos afterwards at Glastonbury, and who lied fur shelter after the
agert of the Duke. Otte of the moot singular Incidents, how.
net, which accomperded this trial, was die appearance of Henry
Pullerfen as Counsel for the Crown. This lawyer had been deep
la the confidence of the country party, or, according to North,
•ta all the desperate designs against the Crown," and yet was
selected fur the King's advocate open this emergency ; and, which
yet.more strange. consented to tip, employment. Fanatic ae be
a aped, tie had contrived hitherto to preserve a great character fee
colistency; and in *le set his new retainer,was made Chief Justice
of the Comm.,' Pleas en the accession of King William.

• Bat to return : Hicks .nd one Nelthorp, both of Ryesbouse
Plot Nnturiety, were found in the house of the prisoner under
Owes circumstances: they had escaped from Weston Moor, and
mooted an asylum at the hands of Lady Alice. When the
won was made to h-r, she entertained It with great civility, being
entirely ignorant of the route which her guests had taken. Hicks
Miter had the candour or the temerity to acquaint her with the
nth, on which she instantly dispatched her principal servant to a
Justice of the Peace with infurmation concerning them, but gave
especial orders that they might be suffered to escape. At this crisis
a ploy entered, and made the fatal discovery. Jeffreys, bitter foe
as he met Mewed himself to the Dissenters, was transported with
rage beyosd himself at this trial; for in additlen to a prisoner who
bad been harbouring Diameters, he had a very reluctant Presfry.
loin witness to deal with. It would seem, In fact, that this
Mee had worked Meissen up to a lunatic ht of phrenly against
Nonconformists, and that he could acutely be said to command his
ems when one of such a persuasion was brought before him.
.tad yet he isplayed his usual knowledge of men's characters by
the SW rat many religious admonitions, and even imprecations of
the Maine wrath against liars, which greatly tended to alarm the
hollteeiate witness, who in reality did shale in Ms testimony for
&porno* of screening the culprit, but was entirely assamier.d by
fleelsief,Justice. 'The expressions used towards him bete ouch as

“fhe pert* of Jeffreys's conduct at the trial has been strongly

" At the intercession of seine Winchester Clergymen, the Lady
