OXFORD, Nov. 10.—The report of Mr. Gladstone's
being about to offer himself to fill a vacancy in the rep-
resentation of the University is utterly destitute of
truth. There is no prospect of Mr. Estcourt resigning.
We understand that the new Bishop of Lichfield, Dr.
Lonsdale, has resigned the preachership which he held of
Lincoln's-inn. There are several candidates for the va-
cant preferment, and among the number is the eloquent
and respected Rev. J. S. M. Anderson, of St. George's
Chapel, Brighton.—Brighton Gazelle.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A CHURCH IN HULL.—
During the gale of Wednesday forenoon about 29 feet of
the graceful spire of St. Stephen's Church was blown
down. The spire, which is about 90 feet in height, was
completed, with the exception of fixing a cross on the
top, and the scaffolding, which had not been taken down,
was borne by the wind against the newly laid stonework,
which was seen to resist the pressure for some time, and
which gave the workmen an opportunity of getting out of
the way. At length it fell with a terrible crash through
the roof. No person was hurt. This unfortunate cir-
cumstance will delay the opening of the edifice.—Hull
Packet.

THE REV. W. SIBTHORP.—At the late anniversary
meeting of the Society for Promoting Christianity among
the Jews, held at Bristol, the Rev. E. Bickersteth read
the following extract of a letter which he had received
from the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp, dated October 5 :—" My
dear Bickersteth, I deem it my duty to inform you, that
I last Sunday received the sacrament at St. Helen's, as
declaratory of my separation from the Roman, and my
return to the Anglican Church. I am, therefore, no
longer a member of the Church of Rome. I have come
to the conclusion, after much deliberat on, and the con-
viction I have is this—that the Church of Rome is the
great harlot—the mother of abominations—an adulteress ;
and her worship is idolatory, chiefly Maryolatry.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. J.
M. Crockett, incumbent of Tatenhill, near Burton-on-
Trent, met with his death, on the 14th instant, in the
following melancholy manner :—He was returning home.
and whe❑ passing the house of a widow of the name of
Hassell, he heard a confused noise of voices, as though in
high altercation. On pausing a little, he could hear dis-
tinctly a man's voice, threatening Mrs. Hassell with vio-
lence. Mr. Crockett, who was ever ready to succour the
oppressed,especially the widow and fatherless, immediately
stepped through the wicket, intending to enter the house
and prevent ill-usage, when, awful to relate, as he passed
by the end of the house, the covering of an old well which
was under the pavement gave way, and Mr. Crockett was
precipitated to the bottom, a large quantity of soil and
stones falling upon him. The alarm was immediately
given, and the reverend gentleman was taken out in such
a bruised state that he died in about two hours.

CFIURCFI EXTENSION.—A meeting of the Incorporated
Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and
Repairing of Churches and Chapels was held, at their
chambers, in St. Martin's-place, yesterday week, the
Lord Bishop of London in the chair. The meeting voted
grants of money towards building additional churches or
chapels at Alltygryg, in the parish of Llangerick, Glamor-
ganshire ; at Kensal-green, in the parish of Chelsea,
Middlesex; at Wood-green, in the parish of Tottenham,
Middlesex ; at the district parish of St. George, Leeds ;
at Cowhill, in the parish of Oldham, Lancashire ; at Ply-
mouth ; and at Trawden, in the parochial chapelry of
Colne, Lancashire ; also towards enlarging by rebuilding
the church at Bovingdon, Hertfordshire ; enlarging the
church at Owston, Lincolnshire ; reseating or otherwise
increasing the accommodation in the churches at Bat-
combe, Somerset ; Burton, Westmoreland ; Stoke Gold-
ing, Leicestershire; Tavistock, Devonshire; and Wan-
borough, Wiltshire. The population of these 15 parishes
is 213,614 persons, and the accommodation provided for
them in 37 churches and chapels is 29,411 seats, being less
than one-seventh of the whole number; while the free
sittings are only 9672, or one free seat for 22 persons ; to
this insufficient provision of church room 5753 seats will
be added whe❑ the works above referred to (which include
the erection of eight additional churches) have been com-
pleted, and 3788 of those sittings will be free and unap-
propriated for ever.

LAIV INTEL LIGI

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 21

TBB ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SIR J. WALAIESLEY.
ellita, Attorney-General showed cause against a rule to
a verdict for the defendant in this case, which was
rnanation for money bad and received to the use of
to% ;1)1"u under the following state of things:— One
isi_ltage being indebted to the Crown in certain duties
heitTalt, became a bankrupt at the time that the defendant
Otiarge quantity of his property in his possession by
Wia SeCIThltV for advances to nearly £3,000. The malt
rkt, seized, but the defendant's claim being set up, an ar-
ttege,lnent was made that it should be allowed, and that
reed should sell and pay him the amount, if ascer-
"to be correct. This step was not taken, but it was
hirtied that the defendant should sell the whole malt, pay
lelf whatever was due to him, and hand over the ba-
to the Crown. After the sale, however, but before
ilkt°4lance the was paid, the officers of the excise discovered
teki,Y were wrong in a point of law in allowing the de-
Kh,"ln'a lien against that of the Crown, and withdrew
t sanction to the bargain. The defendant afterwards
had ever the balance to the sheriff for the Crown, and re-
-1)1TIII the demand of the Crown for the amount retained
4114_%, On the ground that though his lien might be bad
iv,"ll, Yet that the arrangement in question amounted to
atry payment b the Crown under a full knowledge
facts ; and it way s now contended by
tin!: Kelly and Mr. Crompton, for the defendant, that
Wag the true construction to be put
.upon it.
tlitt Hs' Baron Parke, however, was decidedly of opinion
IlYtCere was no payment at all contemplated or effected
ip64l e Crown under the circumstances of the case. There
Slieritleonditional arrangement, indeed, or order to the
tiler, as the agent of the Crown, to pay the defendant
11111 tl!ira when the amount had been correctly ascertained ;
kind..at Stet) had not been taken before they wrote to re-
; so that the fact of payment could not be sus-
li., and the rule ought to be discharged.
,„pe rest of the Court concurred, and so
411 e rule was discharged.

COURT OF CHANCERY

Nov. 22

14 WALSH V. GLADSTONE.
titter' Twins and Mr. Wray supported a petition in this
4ireagainst an order of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
41 A Ing a legacy of £.1,000 to be paid to the President
TIN apleforth Yollege, in Yorkshire. The bequest was
~,tttotVY the late Mr. Blundell, of Ince Blundell; as also
tire, er to the same amount, for the benefit of Old Hall
met B,aidCollege, in Hertfordshire. The learned gentle-
tiiB6,, the two establishments alluded to wereesta-
-4.ooa''' One of them a century ago, for the education of
Catholic youth, and they suggested that sorn.-
aIQ like a scheme should be drawn up for the appropri-
tot% of this bequest. The Court must have further in-
ltep,"tion as to the constitution of these bodies, so as to
k? the due employment of the gift.
ttre-,lTLitllley said the President of Ampleforth, as ap-
pet," °Y the affidavits, received and paid all sums for
414' of the establishment ; but if the Court required
taeTiler information, he prayed for time to supply it.
e Lord Chancellor said, he made no remark on the
the Cotel and discipline of these establishments. What
hod port had to look at was the security of the fund,
