BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE
PRACTICE OF CONFESSION.

119 R
14;114blished last week a letter from the Bishop of
p °II the subject of confession, to which the Rev. G.
Nne has published a reply, in which he says,—

laten P"lng a person to come to me, at his own particu-
tpioeest, several times in the course of the year for con-
thtsfo: have any authority from the Church of England
hlit I fc'„fo receive that person ? I will further suppose

t:Cht lo pas on me my obligation to receive him—is it
I"lP's opinion that I should be authorised by the
tqt b°' England (whatever my own private opinions

tills his lordship has rejoined—

SINGULAR EPISODE IN THE HISTORY OF A HAREM.—
The following interesting episode is narrated, under the
head of Vienna, by the Berlin Times :—" It being re-
ported at Semlin that Fazli Pacha's harem would pass on
board a steamer on its way to Stamboul, a young man
from Belgrade applied to the Austrian authorities saying
that his sister Maria was among the, Pacha's slaves, and
that she bad been forcibly abducted five years past (she
being then seven years old) with her mother. After that
the Turkish ravishers had plundered their house and
killed their father. He himself had also been chained and
cast into prison, but had succeeded in escaping and flying
to Belgrade, where he learned his mother had died of
grief, and that his sister was in Fazli Pacha's harem.
Listening to the entreaty of the young man, the Austrian
authorities boarded the steamer on which the Pacha's
harem was embarked, and demanded of Fazli's son, in
charge of the women, that the girl Maria should be set at
liberty, or otherwise force would be employed. There be-
ing no means of resisting this mandate, the young girl
was set at liberty, and rapturously threw herself into the

arms of her brother. Upon the same day a deputation
from the Austrian authorities crossed over to Belgrade to
communicate the affair to the Pacha, who declared the
young man's story to be a fabrication, and further de-
manded that the young girl should not be liberated until

the matter had been duly investigated. This the Austrian
authorities refused, however, and the issue of the affair is
looked to with anxiety. Strange and romantic as the
above may appear, it is in no way impossible, seeing the
disorders committed in the Bosnian districts by the troops
under different Turkish pachas."

ORIGIN os. PRINTING.—If the ancient Chronicle of
Cologne may be credited for its facts, it is now four
hundred years since the first book was printed. Gutten-
berg, Faust, and Scl offer, had then set up their press in
a low dark room, still shown to the tour st. at Mayence ;
—and the book on which they were engaged was a Bible
—the edition of the Latin Vulgate now known as the
Mazarin Bible, from the discovery in the middle of the
last century of a copy of it in the Bibliotn6que du Colle'ye
des Quartre Nations. The three artists kept the secrets
of their craft from the world,—and the Rhine fortress
might have enjoyed a monopoly of printing for many
years had not Adolphus of Nassau stormed the town in
1462, and dispersed the workmen into all parts of Europe.
Fifteen years after the assault on Mayence—the blind
passions of the soldier working unconsciously for the pro-
pagation of light—there was a printing press established
in almost every civilized land :—first, at Subiaco, in the
Roman States,—then, in Paris,—nest, at 'Westminster,
—afterwards, at Barcelona. The birth of the press is
dated 1451, or thereabouts,—and at every return of the
figures 51, a centenary celebration of the event is held.
Last year it was held—very characteristically and satisfac-
torily —under the glass roof in Hyde Park,—in itself and
its contents a miracle which without that birth could never
have been.—Atheneum.
