UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

The Bishop of Hereford has suspended the Rev. Josiah
Bartlett from the exercise of clerical functions.

The subject of establishing a University at Calcutta, is
in agitation.
The carriage of the Dean of Leighlin was overturned
near his residence, the other night, and his servant killed.
The Dean was much hurt.

A report of the death of the Archbishop of Canterbury
was circulated in London on Friday. It originated in the
death of Dr. D'Oyley, rector of St. Mary's, Lambeth.
The restoration of Eton College Chapel, including the
enlarging of the choir, the erection of Gothic stalls, and
a new screen, &c., at a cost of from £lO,OOO to £12,000,
is to be proceeded with immediately.

The Marquis of Tweeddale has subscribed 20,000 ru-
pees for the purpose of establishing a co'legiate institu-
tion, founded on Christian principles, in the presidency
of Madras, of which his Lordship is Governor.
CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—The re-opening of the choir
of this venerable Cathedral was solemnized by Divine
Service on Tuesday, when a crowded congregation assem-
bled, including the principal families of the county and
city, all of whom expressed great admiration of the im-
provements. Morning Prayers were read by the Very
Rev. the Dean ; the first Lesson by the Rev. Canon
Barlow; and the second Lesson by the Rev. Canon Es-
ton : the Communion Service was also read by the Dean,
the Rev. Canon Barlow reading the Epistle. The music
of the Venite and Psalms of the day was by Hawes, the
Te Deum by Camidge in F, the Jubilate by Kent in C,
the Athanasian Creed by Heatbcote, the Sanclus by
Banks, the responses to the commandments by Calah,
and the Nicene Creed by Rogers. The anthem was
Boyce's splendid composition, most appropriate for this
occasion— ' I have surely built Thee an house." The
sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese,
from Haggai i. 3. 4v.—" Then came the word of the
Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you,
O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie
waste ?" It was a most able, excellent, and impressive
discourse, which we trust his Lordship will be able to
publish. During the reading of the Offertory Sentences
by the Dean, the sum of £l7l ls. Ildid. A donation of
£5O was afterwards given by a gentleman of the county.
Among the other Cathedral Clergy who appeared in their
stalls on the occasion, were the Venerable Archdeacon
Clarke, the Rev. Precentor Eaton, the Rev. R. Yarker,
Rev. W. Paul, Rev. R. W. Gleadowe, and Rev. W. Har-
rison, (Minor Canons); the Rev. H. Raikes, Rev. C. A.
Thurlow, and Rev. Hugh Mc. Neile, (Honorary Canons).

DR. HOOK AND DR. PUSHY PARTING
COMPANY AT LAST.

(From the Church and State Gazette.)

Dr. Hook, of Leeds, has just published two sermons,
in which he denounces Dr. Pusey's language addressed to
" Mr." Newman. We are not sorry to see this ; but we
would ask, nevertheless, how does Dr. Hook reconcile his
present opinion of Dr. Pusey with the patronage extended
by the former to the latter at Leeds ? Waiting a reply,
we will, for the moment, confine ourselves to noticing the
following passage in the preface to the sermons in ques-
tion. Dr. Hook there says :

"Such greivous and sinful acts (i.e., as going
.over to Rome,
though holding all Roman doctrines) are palliated by being
styled by the mild term of secession, and not schism—a going
forth to labour in another portion of the same vineyard!" And
—" There is another way of accounting for these secessions,
which is still more shocking. It is said that the Church of
Rome has gained possession of the perverted ones, in answer to
the prayers offered by persons and societies in that communion
for the reduction of England to the Romish faith!"

Both the above passages, marked in italics, are quoted
from the recent letters of Dr. Pusey in the En,olish
Churchman; and yet the writer of those letters bas been,
contemporaneously with Dr. Hook's denunciations,
preaching some fourteen sermons in St. Saviour's Uhurch,
under Dr. Hook's sanction !—and Dr. Hook is himself a
party to the withdrawal of an address (condemnatory of
Rome) to the Bishop of Ripon, and the substitution of
another, to accommodate Dr. Pusey, in Dr. Pusey's own
language, silent about Romish corruptions, and speaking
of " one part of the vineyard," so as to leave it open to
the inference that there is another (viz., the Romish por-
tion) in which Mr. Newman is " labouring."

A REBUKE FROM RIPON

(From the Church and Slate Gazette.)

The following are extracts from the reply of the Bishop
of Ripon to the altered address from Leeds, signed by one
hundred and sixty of the clergy, and so " craftily quali-
fied" to accommodate Dr. Pusey. It is a glorious rebuke;
and most happy are we that the attempt to deceive the
bishop has failed so signally of success :—__ . .

"The immediate cause of anxiety for us all, to which you
especially allude, is the lamented departure of several of
our brethren who have lately forsaken our communion. It
is indeed matter for much sadness and sorrow that any of
its members should have been so deceived as to lend their
talents, given them, as I truly believe, for far other ends,
to support the cause of ecclesiastical usurpation, of crea-
ture worship, and of religious imposture. But, unhap-
pily, their minds being thus over-clouded, and their affec-
tions alienated from the Church in whose bosom they were
born anew to spiritual life, and nourished by the ample
means of grace therein mercifully afforded to the children
of God, and their influence once exerted to seduce others
from their allegiance to her, it is, indeed, well that they
have gone out from among us, and can no longer misuse
the power committed to them by our Church to her own
hurt and hindrance."

" For these fallen brethren we shall never, I trust, cease
to pray, in the spirit of compassionate love, that their
hearts may be led by the Eternal Spirit of Truth to dis-
cern the error of their ways, and to return to the fold
which they have forsaleen.

" But their unhappy trespass will surely read a lesson
of seasonable warning to each of us, and remind us that
we cannot, with impunity, pour contempt upon the Church
of our baptism, in which we have grown in grace, and in
the saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ; that if we wantonly dispise the spiritual privileges
we have enjoyed within it, instead of thankfully and re-
verently using them, where God has appointed us our
place, we may well expect that He will, in his anger, take
them from us, and that if we indulge a morbid yearning
after an earthly visible centre of union, while we have the
Lord Jesus Christ as our spiritual head, ever living to
dispense to us from above the rich blessings of His Cove-
nant of Grace, we may be provoking the Lord of Hosts to
punish us as he did the Israelites of old, by giving us up
to our hearts and lusts, and letting us follow our own ima-
ginations.
" The lamented fall of our brethren will likewise teach
us the danger of tampering with practices which may seem
to us innocent and even edifying, but of which history
and experience have so forcibly proved to us the peril,
and which tie Church of England has either expressly
reprobated or tacitly discountenanced. For my own
part, I confess that I feel little temptation to despondency
or discouragement, when I look to the many signal marks
of God's providential care vouchsafed to our Church, to
the truth and purity of the doctrines she teaches, and to
the many evidences of spiritual life within her, among
which I would thankfully acknowledge the assurance given
me by such a body as yourselves, of your anxiety to de-
vote yourselves more earnestly than ever to the duties of
your sacred calling in the Church whose vows are upon
you. Let us only hold fast her doctrines of primitive
authority—let us but carry out, in the spirit of fidelity,
her recognised teaching as embodied in that definite ex-
pression of Gospel truth set forth in her Liturgy, Articles,
and homilies, remembering that, in subordination to the
enlightenment of the Spirit of God, we have accepted
these as our interpreters of His holy word, and we may
humbly believe that we shall be safe ourselves, and, like-
wise, through grace, save them who hear us."

To AVOID CRUELTY TO THE HORSE IN HUNTING.—
That fox or stag hunting is the frequent cause of a great
deal of cruelty and suffering to horses is quite clear ; that
is, when they get into certain hands. I have some years
since seen the Hon. Mr. P., with his horse spurred from
shoulder to flank, and that because, from want of com-
mon sense and judgment in the early part of the day, he
bad beaten a good horse before it was half over. If this
is not cruelty, Ido not know what is. Depend upon it,
the man who would be guilty of it towards his horse,
would be equally the brute to his wife or child. God
forbid that he should have either the one or the other !
Let no man tell me that enthusia,sm in the chase is an ex-
cuse for premeditated and wanton cruelty. I maintain it
to be wanton cruelty to butcher a good horse, when the
only plea we can produce for so doing is a wish to see
more of the end of the run, as if a man could never see
another during his life. I can assert from experience and
observation—and have had no small share of the former,
or want of opportunity for the latter, in these matters—
that 1 never knew one of these real butchering riders in
the field who was not a brute in all his relative connexions
with society. Let it not be supposed, that I mean in any
way to infer, that riding straight to hounds necessarily in-
volves cruelty to the hunter; quite the contrary. I am
perfectly satisfied, and I am quite sure the best judges in
these matters will agree with me, that the man who rides
straightest to hounds, generally speaking, distresses his
horse the least; he keeps near enough to watch the lead-
ing 'hound, or couple or two hounds, by which be is
enabled often to avail himself of sound ground instead of
heavy, and perhaps cut the whole angle of a 50 or 60 acre
field. if hounds throw up their noses for only half a
minute, he can give bis horse the full benefit of tbat half-
minute ; and half a minute, aye, ten seconds, is an age to
a horse all but blown. When they hit it off, he is off
with them ; they don't gain an inch on him ; he has no
ground to make up, for he is ready to take his place.
Long may he keep it both here, and in his chase through
life.--Barry Hieover's Stable Talk and Table Talk.
Cauut has abandoned his action against the stakeholder,
to recover back his stakes in the late fight, thus leaving
Bendigo in quiet possession of the needful.
