UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

-.-
The ceremony of the election of Dr. Musgrave to Lb.
Archbishopric of York took place on Wednesday.
Mr. Jacobson is to be the new Regius Professor at
Oxford.

The Rev. Mr. Craig has appealed against the extraordi.,
nary and oppressive sentence passed upon him by sir H.
J. Fust.

The heads of the University of Oxford are stated as
viewing the appointment of Dr. Hampden as due to his
faithful teaching.

The Rev. R. M. Evanson, 8.A., curate of St. Clement's,
Blackburn, has been appointed minister of Christ Church,
Accrington. _ _

The 'Bev. J. H. Gurney, son of the late Baron Gurney,
has been appointed to the rectory of Marylebone, Lon-
don, vacant by the death of Dr. Dibdin.
Mr. Gutteridge's trial for a libel on the Bishop of Man-
chester cannot take place until the Spring Assizes, and it
is not known whether his Lordship will be consecrated
before the case is heard.

The Bishop of Australia has signed a protest, on behalf
of himself and his successors, bishops of the diocese, against
any right or authority claimed by the Bishop of Rome to
institute any episcopal or archiepiscopal see or sees with-
in the limits of that diocese.

The Rev. W. F. Wilkinson has tendered his resigna—
tion of the office of Theological Tutor at the Cheltenham
College, in consequence of the board of directors having
passed a vote of censure for his proposing a vote of thanks
to George Dawson, Esq., at the close of the delivery of
the lectures of that gentleman at the Literary and Philo-
sophical Institution.

The Rev. C. Cirdlestor e—a divine of high standing—
has been requested to agitate against Dr. Hampden's
appointment, but has declined, because he says "he thinks
the errors imputed to the Doctor so much less pernicious'
than those proved against some of the chief of his accusers
that he cannot join them in the outcry against him."
CONFESSION. The Oxford and Cambridge Review
for this month says :—" Already confession is practise&
to a considerable extent in our Church. It now prevails
in a great number of parishes. A vast body of the clergy
are impressed with a sense of its importance; many, pro-
bably, are convinced of its necessity—it is not often urged
in sermons, but it is recommended privately to the most
religious of the parishioners, and it is accepted by them
in numerous instances thankfully." So speaks a pro-
fessedly Church of England publication, and though the
writer has no doubt good grounds for what he says. yet
no censure is pronounced on these Romanising practices,
and no reproof administered to these Romanising,teachers.
LECTURE ON " ACQUITTAL OF THE SEVEN BISHOPS."
—On Tuesday the Rev. J. Burnet, L.L.D., vicar of
Bradford and Dean Rural, delivered a lecture in the Phi-
losophical Hall, Huddersfield, on the important historical
event of the trial and acquittal of the seven bishops in the
reign of James 11. The lecture was illustrated by the
splendid national painting depicting this eventful epock.
in the annals of civil and religious liberty in the country,
which has recently been completed by J. R. Herbert,
Esq., R.A. ' • this chef d'ceurre of the above gifted artist
being lent by the proprietor for the occasion. A nume-
rous body of the clergy occupied seats on the platform;
and the Rev. J. Bateman, vicar of Huddersfield, was
called upon to preside. A small charge was made for ad-
mission • the proceeds of which will be applied to the
funds of Seedhill National Schools.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK —A correspondent of the
Spectator says—" It seems to me that the real question
has been lost sight of by the press. That question is,
not whether the Bishop of Hereford is properly qualified
to occupy the See of York, (which no one doubts,) but
what greater claims or qualifications he possesses ove-
Bishops senior to him in the province of York 7 Why
should he be brought out of the province of Canterbury,
when (to mention only two) such two men as the Bishops
of Chester and Ripon have been passed over, and that in
their own province ? To mention the claims which those
two Bishops have earned in every way, would make my
note too long for your columns at this time. But do you
not think that the clergy in the province of York have
some cause to ask the Government for a reason why a
junior Bishop should be placed over the heads of two such
men, h s seniors, and in the province ? "
DR. HAMPDEN.—The following extract from the intro-
duction to the second edition of Dr. Hampden's Hampton
Lectures, explains his sentiments about which there has
been so much misrepresentation In pursuing my in-
quiry, I have been led to speak of the truths of religion
as facts. To persons who have thoroughly entered into
the spirit of the inductive philosophy, it would be unne-
cessary to explain what I mean by this term. Sue', per-
sons would know that this term is not to be restricted to
mere events or occurrences, or what may be called his-
torical or singular facts ; but denotes, as I have elsewhere
said (• Inaugural Lecture '—Note), whatever is universal
as well as particular truths, whether founded on expe-
rience or on the authority of divine revelation ; and that
it is opposed to theory or hypothesis. Thus the divinity
of our Lord is a fact: His consubstantiality with the
Father and the Holy Spirit, His atonement, His media-
tion, His distinct personality, His perpetual presence with
His Church, His future advent to judge the world, the
communion of saints, the corruption of our nature, the
efficacy of divine grace, the acceptableness of works
wrought through faith, the necessity of repentance, though
stated in abstract terms—are all facts in God's spiritual
kingdom revealed to us through Christ. So, might I
proceed to enumerate, one after the other, all the
Christian verities."

COURT AND FASHION.

The Queen and the royal family still remain in the Wo-
of Wight, and have, as the weather has permitted, taken
their habitual airings in the grcunds of Osborne House
and on the beach.

The Duke of Sutherland is employing a vast number of
workmen and decorators in completing the state apart-
ments at Dunrobin Castle, as it is understood that his
grace will be honoured with a visit by her Majesty next
year.
THE EARL OE EGLINTON —This nobleman has called
upon the Globe newspaper to contradict the statement
that he had become a bankrupt, that he had given up all
his property to his creditors, and that he had been placed
on an allowance of £5OO a-year. The entire story is with-
out the slightest foundation. The Globe copied it from
the Dublin Freeman's Journal.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS.

The shareholders and friends of the Wisbech and St.
Ives railway have presented to George Game Day, Esq.,
a splended gold cup with five hundred guineas within for
his exertions in procuring the act for the railway.
THE WOLVERTON ACCIDENT. —An action for damages,
under the Deodand Act, is entered for trial at the present
sittings, against the London and North-Western Railway
Company.
The railway acts for which it is intended to make ap-
plication during the present session amount to 148 ; com-
prising 15 for Irish lines, and 5 for Scotch ones. The
total number of plans, &c. lodged in 1846, was MO ; and
in 1845, 678.
The London and North-Western contributed no less a
sum than £5O to the fund raised by the late performances
at Manchester, &c., for the benefit of Leigh Hunt and
Peake the dramatist, by permitting all the performers and
their friends to go and return at half price.
MR. CHILTON AND THE BRIGHTON COMPANY.---Mr.
Chilton, whose action (X5OO damages) against the Croy-
don Company is down for review in the Court of Ex-
chequer, has acquired the sobriquet of the " Chiltern
Hundreds," and displays a very remarkable temper in the
county courts, where the suiters are blessed with his
presence.
_ _ _

In order still further to improve the character of their
express trains, the London and North-Western Company
have, on the opening throughout of the Trent Valley
Railway, commenced running an entire set of new car-
riages. These new carriages are on six wheels, are larger
than any previously on the line, and are fitted up in the
most comfortable, and even luxurious, manner.
From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3,227 miles of rail-
way, was £162,818, thus accounted for :—£80,158 for the
conveyance of passengers only, £46,283 for the carriage of
goods, and a remainder of £36,377 for passengers and
goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an in-
crease of £25,310 over the corresponding week of last year,
when the mileage was about 2,525.
A MAN TRAVELLING AS LUGGAGE.—III the early part
of the week, an apparently empty show van was sent from-
Hull to Sheffield fair. After its arrival at the Sheffield
station, the agent perceived some smoke issuing from the
van, and on getting it open, found a man in it, very snugly
smoking his pipe. The man would have been very con-
tent to pass as 'wage, but he was taught that he had
under-estimated himself. He was immediately handed
out, and compelled to pay second class fare from Hull.
At the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday, William.
Farmer pleaded guilty to an indictment of having forged
railway scrip, of the South-Western Railway Company,_
to the extent of £1,500. It was stated by the prisoner's-
counsel that he had since paid back to the .parties de-
frauded about 12s. in the pound, and that he was the tool
of another man, named West, who has been convicted.—
He was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment with
hard labour.
The sale of newspapers and periodicals at the different
railway stations is becoming a most lucrative calling ; so
much so that the companies now exact a rent from the
venders for the privilege. It is said that the sale of papers
and periodicals at the London-bridge Station turns in a
profit to the tune of 10 guineas per week, and that the di-
rectors are said to have put the privilege up to competition
at a high figure. The rent at the Euston station payable-
for this privilege is at the rate of £6O per annum, though.
until lately the privilege was accorded free of payment.
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY COMPANY.—
The Vice-Chancellor gave his judgment on Saturday upon
the application for au injunction, the effect of which will
be to resist the Birmingham and Oxford Company front
entering into any agreement for the sale or lease of their
line to the Northwestern Company, and from doine any
act which may violate or prejudice the contract already
entered into between the Great Western and the Birming-
ham and Oxford Companies until it shall have been de-
cided, upon the hearing of the cause, whether or no that
contract shall be specifically performed.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
—An accident which proved immediately fatal to one man,
and by which the lives of three others were placed in im-
mediate danger, happened at Greskiu, about five miles
north of Beattock, last Saturday morning. Four labourers
named Smith, Kay, Daniels, and Crosby, were employed
in excavating on the works of the railway, when suddenly
the earth under which they were working fell from a height
of about twelve feet, and in a moment the poor fellows
were buried beneath it : they were extricated as soon as
possible from their perilous situation, when Smith was
found to be quite dead, and the three others frightfully
I injured.

The Mayor has •benevolently sent a donation of £5 to
'the Licensed Victuallers' Society.
On the 15th ult., Mary Furlong, aged 69, was run over

• covered by a neighbour and cut down.
A child, seven years old, named Maria Reynolds, living

-her clothes• catching fire.
On Thursday morning, an aged female, named Frances
Hammond, was found dead in bed. Her death was con-
gestion of the lungs.
On Thursday night, as a seaman, named Peter Jordan,
belonging to the General Parkhill, lying in the Prince's
Dock, was stepping to the quay from the vessel, he fell
in, and was drowned.
Mr. Winch, Mr. Mann. and Mr. Hassell, a deputation
from the Wallasey Commissioners, and Mr. Fletcher, had
.an interview with the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Woods and Forests, on Tuesday.
HEALTH OF THE BOROUGH.—The reports of the me-
dical officers continue to be unfavourable. Influenza
-prevails to a great extent as an epidemic, and diseases of
the chest and lungs are very rife.
The workmen engaged in preparing the foundation of
the Sailors' Home, lately discovered a farthing of Charles
11, in perfect preservation, embedded in the dried sand or
silt. It will be recollected that the site of the Sailor's
Home once formed the bed of the pool.
THE PARLIAMENTARY FRANCHISE OF THE Bo-
ROUGH.—From the list of voters just published, we per-
ceive that the number of voters for the next year is
17,320, being an increase of 316 over the list of last year.
There were only 17,004 names on the list for that period.
On Friday, about midnight, Mr. A. B. Morris and his
-wife were attacked as they were going along Price-street,
Birkenhead, by four men, who knocked Mr. Morris down
and ran off with his groceries. The police succeeded in

capturing one of them.
On Monday morning, a woman of intemperate habits,
'named Hill, was found dead in the privy of a beerhouse
in Mill-street, Toxteth-park. The husband was applied
to, in order to have the body removed to his residence,
but he refused to admit it, and it was afterwards taken in
-a cart to the dead-house. The woman, when intoxicated,
was in the habit of sleeping in the privy, with the sanction
of the owner.
NEW REGULATIONS AT THE LIVERPOOL POST-OFFICE.
—To afford the utmost possible time to the public, and to
facilitate the dispatch of the mails, it is announced that
letters posted within half an hour from the time fixed for
-closing the box, will be forwarded by the first mail, if, in
addition to the postage-stamp, an extra stamp be affixed
en the letter, for the late fee. For letters posted beyond
the above half-hour, and within ten minutes of the time
fixed for the dispatch of the mail, three extra stamps must
-be added to those required to cover the weight of the
letter.
►STRANGE THEFT OF LEAD.—Last week, a "navvy,"
named Bernard Taylor, who resided in Field-street, Bir-
kenhead, was tried at Knutsford sessions for stealing a
considerable quantity of lead, the property of the Birken-
head Commissioners, but acquitted, owing to some flaw
in the indictment. He has, however, been re-arrested on
a similar charge. His manner of carrying off the booty
was unusual. He was employed on the railways, and ap-
pears to have melted the lead at the works, cast it in his
breakfast tin, and when discovered, the tin, full of lead,
was found suspended by a string round his neek, and con-
cealed beneath his clothes.
BOYDELL AND WILLIAMS' BANKRUPTCY.-At the

Bankruptcy Court, on Friday, these bankrupts, who are
timber dealers, and house, &c. agents, in Liverpool and
' Birkenhead, appeared before Mr. Sergeant Ludlow for
the purpose of passing their last examination. Their
passing, was, however, opposed by Mr. Dodge, on the
ground that their accounts were not satisfactory, the ab-
straction of a number of leaves from one of their books,
and that questionable bills of exchange to the amount of
£30,275 were current at the time of the bankruptcy.
Ultimately, the Learned Commissioner granted the ad-
journment as prayed for.
THE SCHOOLMASTER "AT HOME."—The following
note, exhibiting perhaps too low an estimate of the scho-
lastic profession, was picked up in the Exhibition-rooms,
Postoffice-place, last week, and is too good to be allowed
to pass unnoticed into an inglorious oblivion. We would
recommend the writer, before proceeding further in his
or her " labour of love," to pay a visit to the establish-
ment of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. Clayton-square, to
whose classes for adults we have frequently directed at-
tention :—" Miss —, i Beg to state to you the reson
Why cathrine has Ben kept at home she has not lernd
.Anything since she came to stool And i kept her at home
to Tech her.
MURDER.—About seven o'clock on Monday night, a man
"was stabbed in a drunken row, by two boatmen, in Challo-
-1,-street. He was removed to the hospital. The man
Who committed this atrocious act escaped. 'The English
people are evincing as great a partiality for the knife as
the Spaniard for the poinard, or the back woodsman for
the bowie knife. He expired in the hospital on Wednes-
day morning. The men who stabbed him are in custody.
They were, on Thursday, committed on the coroner's
warrant to take their trial at the assizes ; they are bro-
thers, named John and Thomas Aoderigo. The deceased,
Michael Haddikin, was only nineteen years of age.
On Thursday, the Mayor entertained at dinner, at the
Town-hall, the Earl of Sefton, Sir John Tobin, and
various of the magisterial and governmental chiefs of this
part of the country, including the Mayor of Manchester,
Mt. Stipendiary Rushton, Mr, Arnaud, officers of the
army and navy, &c., &c. The banquets of the late
Mayor were a universally acknowledged improvement on
that stiff and silent burlesque of a Quakers' meeting,
which, once characterised the Town-hall dining-room.
The present Mayor, by providing good music, as well as
good viands and good speeches, vies with the popular
banquets of his predecessor. Lord Sefton and the com-
pany generally, are said to have been much gratified with
this kind of agreeable civic reunion. And the patriarch
of our merchant princes, Sir John robin, now verging on
his ninetieth year, seemed "the lion of the evening."
MANSLAUGHTER.—On Saturday week a poor woman,
named Susannah Pulford, was run over near Linacre-
bridge, and received several injuries. It appeared she
was walking along the footpath, when two horses, ridden
by George Lunt and Robert Smith, crossed the bridge at
a rapid pace, and one of them getting on the path where
she was walking, knocked her down. She was much in-
jured, and died on Monday last at the Northern Hospital.
It was stated that after the unfortunate woman was
knocked down the men galloped off. Smith acknowledged
that it was he who rode over her. Since her death the
officer apprehended Lunt, who appeared before the coro-
ner on Wednesday, but Smith could not be found. 'Lunt
said that he rode the second horse, but he was on the
opposite side of the road to where the deceased was walk-
ing. It was Smith's horse that knocked her down. The
jury found a verdict of manslaughter against Smith and
Lunt.

Mr. Wm. Leverett, one of the oldest officers in our
police force, has been appointed head constable of the
constabulary force in Bradford.
BIGAMY.—On Saturday Richard Noble was charged
with this offence. The first marriage was solemnised 16
years ago, and two years since he married Jane Flitcroft.
The case was postponed to produce a witness of the first
marriage.
On Saturday Elizabeth Lloyd, a servant girl at Mrs.
Smith's, publican, Upper Parliament-street, was com-
mitted for trial by Mr. Rushton, charged with stealing
three watches, belonging to different travellers staying at
the house.
COMMITTAL OF A MARINE STORE DEALER.—Jane
Maguire, the keeper of a marine store, in Chisenhale-
street, was on Wednesday committed for trial, at the
sessions, for having in her possession some iron bars, al-
leged to be stolen from warehouse cellar windows, in
Bixon-street and William-street, belonging to Messrs.
Fielden Brothers and Co.
CELLAR OCCUPATIONS.—On Tuesday, twenty-seven
informations, against persons letting cellars, were heard
at the Police-court, and the usual fine inflicted. It is
somewhat singular that more than one-half the fines al-
ready inflicted have been promptly paid. More than a
hundred streets have been cleared by the officers of the
Health Committee, and upwards of thirty persons have
been sent to gaol for non-payment.
A FEMALE STREET ROBBER.—On Friday night a police-
men, whilst on duty at Marybone, observed a young wo-
man named Caroline Roberts knock down a stout seaman
and rifle his pockets. She was brought before Mr. Rush-
ton on Saturday. The prosecutor said he was so drunk at
the time that lie knew nothing about it. The prisoner
pleaded that they had been drinking together two nights,
and obtained her discharge.
A JUVENILE ASSASSIN.—A boy, twelve years of age,
named Patrick M`Larkey, was brought up, charged with
stabbing Thomas Tooley, a lad about the same age. It
appeared that on the previous day the prisoner was stand-
ing near the Clarence Pier, cutting something with a
knife he held in his hand, when, for some reason, which
did not appear in evidence, he rushed upon the com-
plainant and stabbed him. The wound was not of a seri-
ous character. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he
did make a stab, but it was with a nail. He was fined
20s. and costs, and in default of payment committed to
gaol for one month.
ROBBERY BY A CHILD : STRANGE PURCHASE.—On
Saturday Paul Booth, a little fellow who could not be
above eight years of age, and whose head was scarcely vi-
sible above the dock, was charged with having stolen, in
Mill-street, a table and chair, and two elderly females,
who had bought the articles, attended to give evidence
against him. The goods had been stole], by the boy, as
we understood, from the house of a Mrs. Styles. From
questions put by the bench, it appeared that the witnesses
had bought the furniture from the boy at a nominal
amount, and had not even asked him who was the owner.
Mr. Rushton said he had a good mind to send the pur-
chasers to gaol instead of the boy. He ordered them to
restore the articles to the owner without pay, and the
prisoner was discharged.
INFORMATIONS UNDER THE BUILDING ACT.—On
Friday last, Joseph Parry was summoned by Mr. William
Johnson, one of the building surveyors, for fixing up
three cast iron story-posts under the beams of three
shops, now being erected by him in St. James's-place,
contrary to the 49th section of the Building Act, which
enacts that story-posts shall not be fixed higher than the
level of the ceiling of the ground floor :of the buildings
to which the same belong. It appeared that the story-
posts were put up according to the directions of the ar-
chitect, Mr. Ellis, who refused to alter them when re-

quested to do so, but Parry being the builder, and the
person who gave the usual notice at the surveyor's office,
before beginning to build, was held responsible for the
default; accordingly Mr. Rushton ordered him to enter
into his recognizance in the sum of £lOO, to make the
required alteration to the satisfaction of the surveyor
within fourteen days.
INDICTMENT UNDER THE SANATORY ACT. —Mrs,
Arabella Davis appeared before Mr. Rushton, on Wed-
nesday, to answer an indictment preferred against her for
creating a nuisance injurious to health, in the shop of
No. 5, South John-street, by burning charcoal in some
open chaffers, without providing any flue for taking away
the smoke. A certificate was put in by Mr. Duncan, to
the effect that he had examined the 'rooms in the Claren-
don-buildings, and found them filled with carbonic acid
gas injurious to health, which gas was found to proceed
from the shop occupied by the defendant. Mr. Leather,
who occupies an office immediately above the shop of No.
5, said the nuisance was unbearable—the law library was
filled with the gas continually. The defendant said her
mother had taken the shop for a term, at the rate of £75,
for the purpose of manufacturing French cakes. The
same thing was done in London and Paris, and was not
complained against. She said she had got the flue sur-
veyed, and she was assured the evil could be remedied in
a few hours. Mr. Rushton ordered that the nuisance
should be completely abated by Monday next.

FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER.

(From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion."

The colours most in favour this winter in woollen ma-
terials for dresses are monstre vert, dark gray, garnet and
muraille ; stripes and checks continue fashionable; the
richer materials of dress are generally in running satin
patterns, on reps ground, whether of different shades of
the same colour or contrasting ones. The new materials
are so rich in pattern, as not to admit of trimming with
the same. Woollen materials are principally used for
redingotes, made quite high, ornamented with branden-
bourgs ; in galona, silk nceuds of satin and velvet rib-
bon, and large nceuds in gimp; embroidered in satin
stitch, mixed with thick cord, which has quite replaced
braid ; narrow velvet is also very fashionable for trim-
mings. Carriage dresses are generally quite high and
tight, with long sleeves closing at the wrist; those open
at the bottom are still fashionable, but principally for
dinner dresses. For evening wear, rich satins with velvet
patterns will be the great novelty of the season. Bouil-
lons of tulle and pretty trimmings of coloured blond have
a good effect. On taffetas ball dress, pink and citron ve-
lours epingle are frequently seen, with blond flounces of
the same colour, Berthes of lace, velvet, and old point,
are still worn, but rather less deep. Taffetas dresses of
pink, blue, and white, are often nearly covered by pinked
ruches, Narrow velvet ribbons, both plain and epingle,
are very much used. Bonnets and caps are covered with
them ; the narrower the more approved. Fancy buttons
are also much used. Bishops' purple and vanille colour
are favourites for redingotes; they are often trimmed
with stamped velvets. Fur is now a favourite ornamen„.
Satin skirts for morning wear have several rows ; the cor-
sages being high, with small fixed pelerine of fur, dimi-
nishing to a point at the waist; sometimes two bands of
fur are placed en tablier ; fur cuffs are much deeper than
they were last year. The newest style of pardessus is the
manteau Armenien, partaking of the paletilt and mante-
let ; it is open at the sides the whole length, and falls
straight behind, without marking the waist, trimmed
with a broad band of gimp or lace laid on. The same
style, of reduced size, is also made in cloth and merino,
trimmed with gimp or stamped velvet. One of the no-
velties of the season is a plaid velvet cloak, with deep
fringe. Many pardessus form large rounded shawl be-
hind, and mantelet in front : it is not unusual for the par-
dessus to match in colour with the dress, a 4 one of dark
blue velvet with dress of dark blue gros de Naples. The
form of bonnets, though rather similar to those worn last
year, is, however, rounder and more open, and there is a
roundness in the crowns. Carriage bonnets are of royal
or plain velvet, with feathers, and many with ornaments
of satin ribbon ; the inside finished with four rows of pi-
pings of two colours alternating. Satin capotes are or-
namented by demi-guirlands of the same colour, inter-
mixed with black lace; some black velvet bonnets are
lined with pink or mais, a very favourite colour.
