Lord Worsley, one of the members for the county of Lin-
coln, is understood to have withdrawn his support from
ministers in consequence of their determination to attempt a
repeal of the present corn-laws.

It is generally expected that the division on Lord Sandon's
motion will not take place until Tuesday night, or rather
Wednesday morning. The report gains ground that minis-
ters will resign if beaten. An extraordinary degree of bustle
and activity prevails at all the public offices.—Standard.
A MOST AUDACIOTTS BURGLARY.-011 Sunday afternoon
last, when the family were at church, the parsonage at New-
ton Heath, the residence of the Rev. W. Hutchinson, was
entered, at the kitchen window, by one or more depredators,
and in the short space of about one hour, the whole of the
dwelling, from top to bottom, was ransacked by thieves. As
many as ten rooms were closely examined, every box and
drawer, secured by lock, was broken open; even the ser-
vants' attic was plundered of two half-crowns, found in a
purse. The thieves decamped with booty to the amount of
upwards of £4O, conststing of silver plate only, together
with a piece of cold roast beef. Several suspicious charac-
ters were seen lurking about during the day, and some of the
rev. gentleman's parishioners have expressed their ability to
identify the parties, should they prove to be implicated in
the robbery.—Manchester Courier.

USEFUL SUGGESTION.—I have seen many a promising
and fine young man gradually led to,dissipation, gambling,
and ruin, merely by the want of means to make a solitary
evening pass pleasWly. I earnestly advise any youth who
quits that abode of purity, peace and delight, his paternal
home, to acquire a taste for reading and writing. At every
place where he may reside long, either in England or on the
Continent, let him study to make his apartment as attractive
and comfortable as possible ; for he will find a little extraor-
dinary expense, so bestowed at the beginning, to be good
economy at the end ; let him read the best books in the lan-
guage of the place in which he lives; and above all, let him
never retire to rest without writing at least a page of original
comments on what he has seen, read, and heard in the day.
This habit will teach him to observe and discriminate ; for a
man ceases to read with a desultory and wandering mind.
which is utter waste of time, when he knows that an account
of all the information-which he has gained must be written at
night.—Clayton's Sketches.

NATIONAL NEGLECT OF RELIGION IN THE COLONIES.—
That in past times we have been, as a nation, culpably neg-
ligent in providing on any plan for the religious wants of our
colonies, is but too notorious. The extension of our religion
has not even been made an object in the extension of our
empire. England, forgetting her position in the world as a
Christian State, has acted, in her measures of conquest and
even colonization, just as any heathen nation might have
done, without any solicitude for the honour of God, without
any regard to her own religious responsibility. If at any
time she has shown any anxiety on the score of religion, it
was exhibited chiefly, if not solely, in a fear of offending the
religious prejudices of her new dependents ; and accordingly
her cannon have roared assent, and her warriors been sum-
moned forth to do honour, as in Malta or the West Indies,
to the Roman worship, or, as in Corfu, to the Greek; whilst
in India she has even mixed herself up with the obscene and
bloody rites of the abominable Juggernaut. Such, until
within a late period, was the religious—or to use its proper
epithet—such was the irreligious, the atheistical policy of
this mighty nation ; and to a great extent it is so still.
Ashamed of her faith, or afraid of avowing it, or at the best
regardless of its holy claims, she has caused the church to
veil her glories, not only to forms of Christianity to which
she does not assent, but even to the worst pollutions of hea-
thenism. The furtherance of true religion in her colonies
and provinces, or indeed of any religion, excepting as sub-
sidiary to some worldly end, seems hardly even yet an integral
part of her measures. It is true the question of religion has
of late years gained more attention ; but the work is not even
yet conducted upon any fixed plan or principle, especially by
the nation, as such. It is left, on the contrary, almost en-
tirely to voluntary religious associations to proceed in the
matter just as they may feel inclined, whilst the nation looks
on for the most part as an unconcerned spectator ; or if she
interferes it is too often to hinder rather than assist, by em-
bracing eery opportunity of strengthening its enemies.—
Witness, for instance, the discontinuance of the grant for the
support of the Canadian clergy ; witness again the encou-
ragement given to Romanism in Australia, as so forcibly ex-
posed by the Bishop of Exeter in his late well-known charge.

THE NEW NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.--The new property
already created by Mr. Grainger's vast conceptions, first
formed in 1833, and still in progress of extension, has been
valued at £995,000, or nearly one million sterling. With an
immense stock of honesty, punctuality, and plain open deal-
ing, guided in all his transactions by a fervid imagination
and a calm genius, has Mr. Grainger been able to accumu-
late such a fortune. Towards achieving it, he at first con-
tributed nothing, or very little of pecuniary means, save
perhaps a slender sum of five thousand pounds, the marriage
portion of an affectionate, intelligent, and clever wife, who
has been indefatigable in aiding and cheering the partner of
her life. The general appearance of the streets, with their
rich and diversified architecture, is particularly striking to
the eye of a stranger, and people find it difficult to express
the sensation that pervades the mind on a first inspection.
Their great extent, their uniformity and expensive decora-
tions, even to the carved work of both houses and shops, all
executed in solid stone, of an agreeable and uniform tint,
give an idea of magnificence so peculiar and unexpected to
those who arrive at Newcastle unprepared for such a scene
by anything they have beholden elsewhere in their journey
thither, that the mind cannot help being seized with wonder
and admiration. These feelings are first awakened at the
sight of Grey-street, certainly one of the finest double lines
of domestic architecture of rich designs and lofty proportions
to be found in Europe. Ascending upon a gentle acclivity
from south to north, and with a slight curve which detracts
nothing from its beauties, this superb street extends to nearly
four hundred yards in length, with an average width of eighty
feet. In its architectural decorations it is most elaborate ;
and its different sections formed by the intersecting of the
cross streets, comprise separate designs, among which one
recognises at once the Corinthian order, after the example of
the interior of the Pantheon at Rome, with columns twenty-
five feet high; and by its side, the more chaste imitation of
the noblest example of the lonic order, that of the temple of
Illysus at Athens ; the columns measuring twenty-two feet
in height.—Dr. Granville's English Spas.
ST. GEORGE AND BODLEWYDDAN.—Instead of proceed-
ing onwards to Conway, I bent my steps again towards St.
Asaph, leaving that place and the other parts of Carnarvon-
shire until after I had seen the vales of Clwyd and Llangollen.
About three miles from Abergele is the little village of St.
George, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the vale, re-
markable for the sumptuous Gothic mausoleum erected over
the vault in which Lady Dinorben was interred ; it is how-
ever quite out of character with the simple, unornamented
church to which it is attached. Leaving St. George, the im-
posing entrance gateway of Kinmel, the seat of Lord Dinor-
ben, soon presents itself, the park studded with majestic
timber, and herds of deer, some browsing quietly and others
scampering in every direction. Kinmel was extended, indeed
almost rebuilt, a few years ago, by Hopper, of London. A
magnificent lonic portico is the principal external feature,
while the entrance hall and staircase enriched with marble
columns, and the elegantly proportioned and superb dining
room, all in perfect style of keeping, prove the taste which
has been exercised in building and furnishing this luxurious
abode. From Kinmel the road leads onwards to Bodlewydd-
an, the residence of Sir John Williams, Bart., which is
reached through a massy Gothic gateway. The mansion it-
self has undergone a metlmorphosis from Grecian to the
castellated style. The original change was suggested and
carried into effect by Mr. Edwd. Welch, architect, of Liver-
pool, and has since been continued under the direction of the
agent of the estate. The work is well executed, and, with
one or two slight exceptions, in perfect consisteecy of cha-
racter. From the turrets of the castle, the traveller may en-
joy one of the richest and most luxuriant prospects that can
meet the eye; the wide spreading vale stretches forward like
the val sans retour of fairy land ; studded with beautiful
seats, and quiet homes of romantic loveliness,—Rhyl, and
the extensive marine view beyond—the sinuous course of the
Foryd—the bold towers of Rhuddlan—Saint Asaph Cathe-
dral, and the extensive and far distant mountain scenery
around.—From Roscoe's Wales, new edition, now publish-
ing in monthly parts.
