ighted, Mit this law is necessar
prevention of nefarious practices." This is a very , tory apology; for I have jot heard of such practices occurring
in cars, much less any w ere, on account of the bad lighting of
the streets. Mr. Ala Id, when inflicting a fine a few days
ago, said that the ere on of additional lamps would entail an
expense on the rat avers, which they could not suffer! If
this is the case, wh a burden must such a social obligation
impose on such a malt section of the community as the car
proprietors; bu e fact, as we believe, is, that the ratepayers
would not obje to a satisfactory lighting of the town, even for
their own cony nience, as well as to save their fellow• tradesmen
from this im ition. What is the use of liehtinr the tows At

if
all, if it is n - efficiently done? But, after all, to say that this
law is to pr ent " nefarious practices," insinuates the perpe-
tration of c imes which do not exist, and is an unwarranted
slander !

THE WELSH APPEAL CASE.—In reference to the 1
of Mr. Jenkins, whom the Bishop of Llandaff pro,
flounced unqualified for the living of Michaelstone 7
Vedw, on the ground of insufficiency of Welsh scholar-
ship, and whom the Archbishop of Canterbury pronounced
sufficiently qualified, the Cambrian observes that, as is
confidently asserted, the Archbishop relied on the Princi-
pal of St. David's College, Llanbedr, who declared Mr.
Jenkins competent, while the Bishop of Llandaff had
decided against Mr. Jenkins, on the authority of his

Welsh Eiamining Chaplain, the Chancellor of Llandaff,
Rev. Hugh Williams. The Cambrian adds that the
Welsh learning of Chancellor Williams is beyond dispute,
but that the Welsh of the Dean of St. David's has been
long known only as a theme of amusement, and that the
Archbishop might as well have appealed to a boy plucked
in his little go at Oxford for his opinion upon classical
acquirements.

The English Churchman publishes the following letter
of the Rev. Charles Wordsworth, which the rev. gentle-
man has had occasion to address to Mr. Gordon, a Roman
Catholic priest, formerly curate to Mr. Dodsworth :
" The Warden of Trinity College begs to inform the Rev.
Mr. Gordon that the controversial books sent by him,
through a clandestine channel, to a member of the junior
department .of the college, have been intercepted by the
authorities, and, together with the letter which accom-
panied' them, and which remains unopened, are returned
herewith. The Warden feels called upon to add, that the
part which Mr. Gordon has taken in this discreditable
business appears to him to be at variance with the first
of.Christlan duty. The boy in question is placed
under the Warden's quasi parental

ray, and in transgression of a known regulation

gnisant), cannot be a legitimate means
of endeavouring to propagate what Mr. Gordon no doubt
considers religious truth. For himself, Mr. Wordsworth
been convinced, by the threefold evidence

of reason, revelation, and the testimonies of the Primitive
Church, that the system of the Church of Rome, when
-11 y carried out, is calculated to introduce into the prac-
-•"pr gospel.' He trusts, there-

and danger by what has taken place, and will feel con-
vinced that a minister of religion,. who could begin by
tempting him to be false and disobedient to man, can
never end by teaching him to be true and faithful to
Almighty God.—December 3, 1851."
