The yearly meeting of the Society of Friends at Dublin
has published a declaration against the payment of poor rates.
Speaking of this document the Dublin Statesman of Friday
says—" We were not a little astonished to discover that this
was actually a true bill of the assembly of the friends. Still
we have a conjecture about it, and that strengthened by some
rumours which have come to our ears : and our conjecture
is this, that the manifesto has been drawn up by a party of
extreme fanatics in the quaker body. and has met with the
indignant rejection of the more sober and rational members
of the society."
GROUSE SHOOTING.—The season for grouse shooting corn -
mences on Thursday next. The moors give promise of ex-
cellent sport, the weather during the breeding season having
been favourable to the young grouse, which all accounts coin-
cide in describing as already remarkably strong on the wing.
Few cheepers may be expected Lo be heard or seen this sea-
son. Sportsmen, generally, are anticipating that if the 12th
be a fine day, they will manage to make the gentlemen who
carry their bags groan, and cry " hold, enough," long before
sunset.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL AND THE SABBATH MAILS.
—Having this occasion to speak of the postmaster-general,
we may take the opportunity of stating what we have been
informed of on the best authority, that he has unequivocally
declared that he will not insist on the mail being carried on
the Sabbath on any Scottish railway, the directors of which
disapprove of its being done. This is a most important fact.
No doubt we will in all probability have a new postmaster-
general. but it is not likely Lord Lichfield's successor will
have less respect than his lordship for the religious feelings
of Scotland.—Scottish Standard.
A NEW COALITION.—We copy the following paragraph
from the Dublin Evening Packet:—" The Right Honourable
Viscount Morpeth, chief secretary; Norman Macdonald,
Esq., under secretary ; Captain Romilly, private secretary ;
and C. Connellan, Esq., late private secretary to Lord Plun-
ket, left Dublin yesterday afternoon for Glencullen, the seat
of Christopher Fitzsimon, Esq., clerk of the Elanaper Office,
and son-in-law to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, in order to meet
the last-named gentleman at dinner. We have been informed
that this Cabinet Council was held for the purpose of de-
vising the most effectual plan for carrying on the future agi-
tation against Sir R. Peel's government, and embarrassing
the Right Hon. Bart. on Irish ground, The truth of this
information can scarcely be doubted, when we take into con-
sideration the characters of the respective parties, and call to
mind the ' compact alliance upon terms' ratified at Lichfield
House."

JOHN TUAM V. FATHER MATHEW.—POr some reasons,
wholly inexplicable, " John Team," it appears, has set his
face against the Mathewite movement. At Balinrobe, a few
days ago, " his grace" denounced the teetotallers from the
altar, and spoke in no very measured terms of the " wander-
ing ecclesiastic" who dared to intrude within his (John
Tuam's) jurisdiction, and " create in the minds of his people
a superstitious veneration for a piece of Birmingham pewter.
He would not allow such interference, and threatened the
thunders of the church against any of the faithful who should
disregard his commands." " There is," said the haughty
titular, " a teetotal band ; let it in uture be called the
chapel band, and nothing else." The consequence of all this
threatens to be a complete rupture in the unity of mother
church.
A CHAPEL RATE.—At an Old Independent Chapel, not
100 miles from Bradford, the leading members have hit upon
a more certain mode for defraying the incidental expenses of
their place of worship than they have heretofore adopted.
The collections upon the voluntary principle, of which they
so much boast, having fallen off, they have laid a Chapel
Rate ; not in the way Old Mother Church does by consulting
the public, but by a private Vestry Meeting or conclave.
The amount of this rate is three-pence a sitting per quarter ;
not on the principle of a sliding scale, but a fixed sum
charged upon the poor as well as the rich ; thus selling the
religious accommodation for the poor 10 or 20 per cent.
higher than to the wealthy ! Let those liberals say no more
about Old Mother Church, which is at all times an asylum,
provided by the State, for the victims of sectarian persecution
and oppression both for the living and the dead.—Leeds In-
telligencer.
THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER AND " CHURCH PRIN-
CIPLES."--We are sure it will afford real satisfaction to our
readers to learn that the Bishop of Winchester has taken an
open and decided step against the encroaching evils of Pusey-
ism. At the late ordination at Farnham, Dr. Keble's curate,
Mr. Young, who had been ordained deacon by the Bishop of
Winchester last year, presented himself for priest's orders,
and after a long and careful examination, was rejected. This
was not for incompetency ; but simply on the ground that he
carried what are denominated " Church principles" too far.
Every opportunity was given him ; the bishop conversed
with him in private for more than an hour, and the subjects
in question were again proposed to him in writing; but the
replies were so unsatisfactory, that Mr. Young was finally
rejected Oxford herself has opened her eyes, and is begin-
, ngto repudiate her refractory and rebellious children.
About
ioi, who
six weeks since, the Rev. W. G. Ward, Tutor of
has carried the Oxford views to a fearful length,
was ejected from his tutorship by Dr. Jenkyns ; and still
more lately, the Rev. R. W. Church, Tutor of Oriel, was,
for a similar rr.ru, deprived of his tutorship by Dr.
Hawkins. Let this system, not of
pro-
tection, be fairly carried out ; let
no persecution,tutorretain buht
so f
office,
and no clergyman his living,who
and these very able
opposes the doctrines of a
church which he has sworn to maintain,
though dishonest men will be rendered comparatively
power-
less.—Record.
