it remained for me to select one of the two courses pre-

aversion, without, at least, giving you the opportunity of
showing whether you could recant. With this view, and
in order to spare you from being brought before the tri-
bunal which had given judgment upon the sermon, merely
to say that you would not recant, I endeavoured, with the
help of the Provost of Oriel, to frame a document, to
which, if you had asssnted, nothing would have remained
but some formal proceeding in accordance with it. But
this you did not do. You proposed modifications, and
you excepted against a word which was of considerable
imptortance, as being an indication of particular opinions.
You also objected to adopting words which did not occur
in the formularies of the Church—an objection which I

did not consider valid, because having in your sermon
raised a suspicion that you held something contrary to
what the Church held, it would not have been possible to
allay such a susr icionby confining yourself simply to the

langurge of the formularies. You also requested-that if
ou were called upon to recant, you should have the very
words of the sermon put before you for that purpose, as
the statute (I admit) enjoins. Seeing then that you could
not adopt the paper first proposed to you, I next endea-
voured to ascertain whether you would be likely to recant

words of the

rmon, and for this purpose pas-
sages were selected as a specimen of what might be re-
quired under that head, but to these also you made ob-
jections, and the utmost that could be said of the state-
ments which Dr. Jeif took down from your mouth was,
that they were qualifications of the language of the ser-
mon. These two attempts to bring about a recantation
baying substantially failed, and it being strongly im-
pressed on my mind, that, besides particular objections,
an exception had been taken to the general tenor of the
sermon, which, of course, no recantation could touch, I
at length made up my mind that no course remained but
to proceed to what I felt to be alery severe measure, but,
nevertheless, the only alternative, namely suspension.
This is my version of what has passed, and if it differs
materially from yours, it is because, as a matter of neces-
sity, it was intrusted to a third person, who. however
friendly to both of us, and admirably qualified for a
peacemaker, could not exactly put himself in the place of

" With regard to my having consulted the Provost of
Oriel, I feel satisfied that when Dr. Jelf returns, this can
be explained to you without any imputation upon my
good faith.

' In conclusion, I leave you at liberty, as I shall feel
myself to be, to say'that ' certain private comtnuuications
were made from me to you without leading to any mutu-
ally satisfactory result,' and that secrecy is imposed upon
you in the nature of those communications.

" I shall also consider you at liberty to publish your ac-
count of what has passed, if any reports of their nature
affecting your character for truth, traceable to an authen-
tic eourre shall he circulated.

RAILWAY INTL' LLIGE CE

LYNN AND DEREHAM, AND RAILWAYS IN

WEST NORFOLK.

Some misapprehension, judging from the inquiries made,
seems to prevail with regard to the lines in West Norfolk.
We can state, with confidence, that the only lines now
before the public in that part of the country are, Ist, that
of the Lynn and Ely Company, whose object is the con-
struction of a railway from the port of Lynn to join the
Eastern Counties' line at Ely, with a branch of the main
line into the port of Wisbeach, thus forming a direct line
from London to Lynn; and 2d, that of the Lynn and
Dereham Company, which, by means of the proposed line
from Norwich to Dereham, will connect Lynn with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth, and will form part of the high road
from those places to Yorkshire and other parts of the
North of England. The extensive trade carried on be-
tween Norwich and the great towns in the manufacturing
districts, particularly Bradford, has long required some
improved means of communication, and the route from
Norwich by way of Dereham and Lynn is minifestly the
shortest and most direct. Great credit is due to the town
of Lynn for the energy which it has displayed in its en-
deavours to keep pace with the giant strides of the railway
system. The formation of the lines above alluded to, to-

gather with that from Ely to Bedford, which arpears to
us to be virtually a continuation of the Lynn and Ely line,
will not only preserve to that port the connexion which
has so long subsisted between it and the neighbouring
counties, but bids fair to secure to it new advantages,
which, if turned to proper account, will at once place it
in a position equal to that of any port upon the eastern
coast. The companies above mentioned, having complied
with all preliminary requisites, are in a situation to apply
to parliament for their bills on the earliest possible day,
and, being unfettered by competition, little doubt can be
entertained of their success. The traffic estimates, which
have been prepared under the ♦igilant superintendence of
Mr. Pare, hold out the expectation of an abundant return
to the shareholders. The nature of the country through
which these lines will pass being for the most part an un-
broken level, is extremely favourable to cheapness of con-
struction ; and, should the three companies amalgamate,
(as we hope will be the case), the working expenses will
be so materially diminished that an ample dividend ought
to accrue to the subscribers.—Railway Record.

At a meeting of the Newcastle Town Council, on Wed-
nesday, it was resolved to support the line of railway re-
commended by Mr. Stephenson, called the Newcastle and
Berwick Railway, in opposition to Lord Howick's At-
mospheric Line.

The Dundee and Arbroath Railway Company have
commenced paying half-yearly dividends, and the first,
one of two-and-a-half per cent., was declared on the 20th
ultimo. The revenue of the line is said to have consider-
ably increased ; and if the Dundee and Perth and Aber-
deen Companies are successful in their applications to
Parliament, it is considered the prospects of the under-
taking will further considerably improve.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.-011 Thursday
last a meeting of the above company was held for the
purpose of considering certain propositions to make a
branch from Croydon-common to a point on the South-
western line; a branch faun near Redhill-station to
Bletchingly ; a branch from Three Bridges'-station to
Ddrking ; and also for establishing a west-end terminus
at Hungerford-bridge, by an agreement with the South-
western Railway Company. After considerable opposi-
tion, the proposals were approved by a large majority.
TRY. LONDON AND YORK LINES.—At a recent meeting
of the Town Council of Huntingdon. it was resolved to
give the assent of that body to the London and York
Railway on and over any property in which they have any
interest, and their dissent to the Direct Northern and the
Ely and Bedford Lines. The Town Council of Godman
chester also gave their assent to the London and York,
and expressed their determination to remain neuter as to
the Ely and Bedford. The Town Council of Lincoln,
after a discussion of four hours on the merits of the
Northern Lines, resolved, by a large majority, to assent
to the London and York, and to dissent to the Direct

Vein.

they had once been united. The Consolidated Mines, in
which this singular phenomenon occurred, are the most
extensive in Cornwall, and worked by one company of
proprietors. The workings extend 63 miles underground,
or :)5,000 fathoms; and there are 8 large steam-engines,
and about 30 small ones, employed in pumping cut the.
water, raising the copper ore, &c., &c. The cost of
working amounts to £5,000 per month, and the copper
ore raised from the mine from 1819 to June, 1843, sold
for £2,220,657. The deepest shaft is 2,100 feet from the
surface of the earth, and 2,000 persons are employed in
the mines.—Railway Register for January.
