THE FELONY BY A CLERGYMAN'S SONS.—At the
Middlesex sessions, on Wednesday last, before Mr. Ser-
geant Adams, and a full bench of magistrates, Charles
and John Remington, whose committal on a charge of
felony we noticed last week, were indicted, each of them,
for stealing a pair of trousers. The prisoners pleaded
guilty. The facts connected with the case were given by
us last week.—The learned Judge said, that he bad in his
hands a letter from one of the parents of the prisoners,
and proceeded to read the letter in cin undertone to the
magistrates on the bench. The letter contained :the
names of several very respectable persons, and was couched
in very pathetic and feeling terms ; in addition to which,
it alluded to matters of a private nature, which were not
intended to be made public, and therefore it was not read
aloud. The learned judge said that it was a very painful
case, and taking into consideration all the circumstances,
the sentence was, that Charles be kept to hard labour for
three months, in Westminster Bridewell ; and John, for
the like period in Cold Bathfields.—The prisoner John
said that both he and his brother were extremely sensible
of the consideration and leniency his lordship had shown
them.

VARIETIES.

ILLEGAL INOCULATION.—At the Dorsetshire assizes,
on Friday week, Matthew Squires was indicted for the
manslaughter of Samuel Strand, by inoculating him for
the small-pox. The prisoner, at the express request of
the parents of the deceased, a child of three years of age,
inoculated him at a time when the small. pox preirailed in
the neighbourhood. The child died about fourteen days
afterwards from small-pox. After the examination of the
first witness, some communication took place between the
learned Chief Justice and the counsel in the cause, and the
prisoner then pleaded " guilty." Lord Denman, in pass-
ing sentence, said he was very glad this indictment had
been preferred, and he hoped it would be made generally
public, that if a party ventured to inoculate another, he
was not only liable to imprisonment under the statute,
but in case death ensued he was liable to be indicted for
the crime of manslaughter. He considered it a very
grievous offence, as it might not only occasion the death
of the party inoculated, but thousands besides, as it was
impossible to see where the mischief would end. How-
ever, taking into consideration the extenuating circum-
stances which had been urged by the prisoner's counsel,
and the punishment which the prisoner had already un-
dergone, he thought he might be justified in passing a
nominal sentence, which would be imprisonment for two
days.
MURDER AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—At the Car-
narvon assizes, on Wednesday, John Pritchard, charged
with the wilful murder of John Rowlands, at the Britannia
bridge, on the night of the 29th of July last, was acquitted.
The case excited the greatest interest, not only from the
crime of murder seldom occurring in this portion of the
country, but also from the mystery and obscurity with
which the whole of the circumstances relating to the fear-
ful deed were enveloped. Thomas Powell, a sailor, stated
that he was confined in Carnarvon gaol, and whilst there
the prisoner voluntarily confessed that he had had a quar-
rel with Rowlands, concerning a young woman, who used
often to go down to the prisoner and remain with him all
night, whilst he was on duty ; that Rowlands had upbraided
him, on which he, (Pritchard,) charged him with having
told his wife of the woman. This was denied by Row-
lands, when the prisoner picked up a piece of iron and
struck the deceased, who said—" Don't kill me, John."
He repeated the blows, and then threw the deceased from
off the stage. The prisoner said that he had filed a key,
and that he and the deceased used often to rob the stores.
(This key was found on the person of the murdered man.)
The witness had been charged with stealing bread, but he
was acquitted on his trial. He varied in cross-examination
considerably, as to the times and nights on which his com-
munications with the prisoner took place. In a subse-
quent trial the prisoner was found guilty of theft, and
sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment

THE UNITY OF HOLY SCRIPTURE.—Between the
events described in the opening of the Book of Genesis
and those at the conclusion of the Apocalypse the inter-
val cannot be less than about six thousand years. Ob-
serve, now, there are the same characteristics in both
these books. One is reflected in the other. The Book
of Genesis reveals to us Almighty God, the Creator of all
things very good ; Adam, formed from the earth ; Eve,
taken from his side ; the Serpent in Paradise ; Man
tempted. and driven from Eden ; and the way of the Tree
of Life guarded by a flaming sword ; and a promise made
in mercy that the seed of the Woman should bruise the
serpent's head. Such are the first records of Holy Scrip-
ture. Pass now from the first chapters of Genesis to the
last chapters of the Apocalypse. The same God is re-
vealed, seated on His throne ; heaven and earth adore
Him : man also is there, Adam is there in Christ, the
second Adam : Eve also is there, in the bride of the
second Adam, the Church : Paradise also is there, not
lost, but regained : and the Tree of Life is there, no lon-
ger fenced with a flaming brand, but open to all for the
healing of the natzons: and promised to all who overcome.
We see also there the Dragon, that old serpent. Accord-
ing to the first prophecy of Scripture he has bruised the
heel of the woman's seed. Christ has been wounded and
slain; but He liveth, and was dead; and, behold, He
is alive for evermore, and has the keys of hell and of
death ; and He has now bruised the serpent's head, and
He chains him, and opens the bottomless pit, and casts
the old serpent into the lake of fire and brimstone, there
to remain for ever. Here we see striking evidence of
unity in the whole texture of the sacred volume; and
when we consider how long a period of time separates the
events of the Book of Genesis from those of the Apoca-
lypse, we recognise a remarkable confirmation of the
truth, that the history and the prophecy are from the
same Divine hand, and that the events themselves which

period when she was infected with Popish malaria no
more can be denied to be her right than can the money
which a man's business makes, while he himself is sick in
bed with a black jaundice, be denied to belong to him :
when he is restored to health he can continue to hold it
and enjoy it ; and, having been converted from his
worldliness on his rising from his couch, he ought doubly
to be allowed to keep the produce of his inheritance,
which he will devote to good and holy purposes. Such
is the case of our " Reformed Church ;" and, just as a
a man has a face before he washes it, so our Church
existed before it was reformed. Must the sick man and
the recovered man he called two persons—two separate
beings ? No more can our Church be treated as otherwise
than one—" one body"—however many stages and vicis-
situdes it may have gone through. This point lies at the
very root of all the unsupported and ridiculous allegations
which are directed against both the Church of England
and the Church of Ireland in and out of Parliament."
