MEMORIAL.

TO THE REVEREND BENEDICT ARTHIna•
REVEREND AND DEAR SIR,—We, the undersit,,Di;
have taken the liberty, after much deliberation, to so
to your kind and Christian consideration the seri°us ii'99ets
ritual want which a great number of your pariabluobil
suffer, namely, the lack of a proper place of w°,,Eite
amongst us. We feel convinced that your heart's 'do
and constant prayer to God is that every member to of
extensive district should at least come within the rea
the Gospel sound. We contemplate, with heartfelt` ;i0
titude to Almighty God, the circumstance of your 10,j
been sent to labour in this part of Christ's vineyard,l4"teg,
was, ere your coming here, lamentably neglected. do(
dear reverend Sir, you were the means, in the haarefi,
your adorable Lord and Master, to produce a greatote•
val of religious feelings and dispositions in Traab,bos
Nor can we conceal the fact, that much, very role,s fat
been done by the means of yourself and your cura'xteu•
the partial reformation of this newly-formed and e daily
sive-district. We view with sincere pleasure the,,,the
improvements which are taking place amongst est‘rrgo'
means of your present curate, the Rev. Moses I the
Routh. We are gratified to behold the flocking ° 011
poorer classes to his Sabbath and weekly lectures, '3,90E0
as to his monthly missionary lecture. It is deligt,biall

he organised, and personally superintends. e. 4
For all these spiritual benefits, we owe our warailis
thanks to the great Bishop of the Church for
you amongst us. Yet we must express our cenvltad
that a great deal remains to be done. In short, we f

nature. It is painful to see and hear the great tnalbout
of the poorer classes on the Sabbath day loitering a and

ANOTHER SPECIMEN OF ProPERY.--=Let our r bres-,
mark with what unconcern the Roguish church on usual
one of God's commandments, while she clings 15.,1,0d
to her own superstitions. The President left r___"„4"-daig
Sunday last to inaugurate a section of the Pa's'

Considerable sensation was produced at Bristotilts
-
week, in consequence of the discovery by some exca", to
of three complete human skeletons. How they eal/3riss'
be deposited in that locality, no one can conjecture,,' not
much as there are no remains of a coffin, and they e°iocl,
appear to have been buried for any lengthened Priio/6
and were not lying in the order in which they would
been, if interred in the usual manner. ut'

SPEEDY CAPTURE.—Last week Field, an active Priv.,
policeman, was waiting at the Havre railway tern, f big
e when he discovered that his- pocket had been picket' °per'
fe
watch. After having cast an investigating glance t .eth
sons present, he went up to a young man, elegantly
who was negligently playing with his cane, and seltbiei
him with a firm hand, cried out, "This is the., pot
Wood, the celebrated Wood, who I am sure Win' ro•
give me a negative !" The individual so addres_seVir
tested that there was some great mistake, but De`tijeo
sisted that he was the thief. The young man was ' the
taken to another room, ant on his being seare-e
watch was found in one of his boots. VriCKS
THE CHOLERA.—Dttring the week ending
there were throughout England', Wales, and Scotian° ors
deaths from cholera and diarrhoea. Of- these 1.170 ice
in London and the vicinity, and 239 in Liverpool' there
are glad to say that within the last two or three days bet
has been an extraordinarily rapid decrease in the ne,""00
of eases. On Friday we had in Liverpool only ',jot'
deaths from both diseases ; and exclusive of D34', oil
there were throughout England only 2943 fatal ca,-9e,-;on
that day. Of these 30 were in Hull, 16 in Nrane'
11 in Leeds, 15 in Wolverhampton, and the rest Arcot
