Ostia Although friendly to religious toleration,' so
far as consistent with the welfare of the community at
big; we cannot deem Ws event a subject of congra-
tulation to our readers. No man knows Popery who
immures it by Its apparent weakness. We may
rid,cule the chance of a direct assault upon the So-
vereignty of England by the Pope and his adherents;
Dot sre ought not, for that reason, to view with uncon-
cern the efforts now making for the aggrandisement of
Popery. From the birth of the Reformation to the
present day, the struggle for the overthrow of Protes-
tantism has never been abandoned; and we may be
allowed to express our regret that the excessive liberality
tithe present day should have given a latitude to esta-
blishments, which the wisdom of our ancestors deemed
inenn,ibtent with the exercise of religious liberty.—lps-

ROCHDALE, JULY 31,
A CHILD MURDERED BY A MANIAt.
A shocking circumstance took place at Kilnditch,
tear this town, on Saturday last, about eight o'clock in the evening.
Abe little Ilialen haired bey, about live years of age, the son of
Jive Shore, a woollen weaver, went to play in the house of Henry
Howar b, aill• a woollen weaver, when Howarth, having at the
time a razor in his hated, immediately seized the child, and cut its '
throat, inflicting a *round right across, four inches in length, and
tine quarters of ail inch in depth.
in a previous part of the day, the child had received a cut upon
in forehead with failing, and it is stated by some that it went Into
Howarth's !route to shew hint the plaster, when be immediately
iidhold of It, saying I'll plaster thee," held back its head, and
drew the razor acr•ss its throat, indicting the deep and fatal gash
above described. The Uttle innocent then dropped from under hia
bloody hands upon the door. It never screamed or made any noise,
hat, as one of the women said, it poked with its foot once, and
dad. One of the man's own children, a boy about seven years of
age, was, during the transaction, up stair', and when the ebild
came down, he laid hold of him with the intention of murdering
bled also, but the child fell upon his knees and said, .6 Eh, dad,
dutna don, an' I'll gi' thee a kawpenny." The wretched being, as
if scout(' no longer keep his hold, suffered it to slip from his
grasp, and it into the lane, crying, Where's my nom,
dad's o' u "
where's my mlenscareednyI L. The neighbours were
thus alarmed, and a stout woman ran into the house and found the
maniac with the razor at his own throat, in which he made a
'light incision. Sbe struck down his band, and her screams, added
to these of the living child, brought several men from their looms,
sod he was secured.

It appears that the author of this lamentable deed has for some
time pet laboured under mental delusion, and, perhaps, when all
things are known, it may b% deemed fortunate that a more sangui-
nary result has not taken place. At one time he was jealous that
a cambial understanding existed between his wife and a young
nun wh, boarded with them. Afterwards be imagined that his
vitt and the young man's brother were endeavouring to cut his
lift ikon by 'Wring with Ills food materials of a peculiarly exciting
and stinisliting quality. In some rinse that delusion passed away,
but another assumed its place. He now became religious, read
mock studied much, gave himself to contemplation and silence.—
Noe, he imagined he was influenced by witchcraft; that the
lather of the child which he had murdered, and her kindred,
ranched that power over him ; and that he could not deliver him.
Nit without shedding the blood of some one .conneeted with her:
Ali t►us her innocent offspring has fallen a victim to the dark
ken Dings of a disordered mind.
When the neighbours entered the house, be sat upon a chair,
in the murdered child, drenched in blood, was lying at his feet.—
lb looked ups it calmly and unmoved. lie said, the seed of that
did had troubled him many years.
Heavy Howarth is shoat forty-three years of age. He has been

hi nodes for committing the murder, he said he was " ordered to
