PERVERTS TO ROME AT LEEDS

Within the last few days considerable excitement has
existed in Leeds in consequence of its becoming known
that five clergymen of St. Saviour's, and two of the clergy
connected with other places of worship, as well as 12 or
14 laymen, had become converts to the Roman Church,
and intended making a public profession of that faith on
Thursday evening.
St. Anne's Roman Catholic Chapel, Park-row, was
that evening the scene of imposing religious services, for
the reception of converts into the bosom of the Roman
Church, when Protestantism was formally renounced as
false and heretical by no less than seven persons, but
these were only a portion of the proselytes who had been
received that day. These services, as may naturally be
expected, excited considerable interest in the borough,
and on Thursday evening, when the ceremonies were
brought to a close, with great pomp and splendour, and
the Rev. Dr. Newman delivered an address to the con-
verts, the church of St. Anne was densely crowded in
every part ; in fact, there were hundreds unable to find
even standing room within the very spacious area of the
sacred edifice.

Before, however, proceeding to detail the ceremonies
observed on Thursday evening, it will be well to state the
names of the clergymen of Leeds who have thus em-
braced the faith of Romanism. They are—The Rev.
Mr. Ward, formerly vicar of St. Saviour's, Leeds ; the
Rev. Thomas Minster, late vicar of St. Saviour's ; the
Rev. J. C. L. Crawley, late curate of St. Saviour's ' • the
Rev. Mr. Rooke, late curate of St. Saviour's ; the Rev.
Mr. Coombes, late curate of St. Saviour's ; the Rev. W.
H. Lewttiwaite, incumbent of Clifford, near Tadcaster ;
and the Rev. Mr. Neville, Leeds, (not, we believe,
beneficed.)
Messrs. Ward and Crawley made their professions at
Oscott on Friday in the week before last; Messrs. Min-
ster and Rooke were privately received at St. Anne's, on
Thursday morning last; Messrs. Coombes and Lewth-
waite made their professions publicly on Thursday night,
and Mr. Neville was received privately, but we cannot
say whether it was on Wednesday or Thursday. In ad-
dition to the clergy, there have been twelve or fourteen
lay persons, male and female, seceding from the Protes-
tant church ; some of them moving in a respectable sphere,
while others were of the more humble class.
Nearly the whole of the proselytes have been connected
with the church of St. Saviour's ' • indeed, of the clergy
lately belonging to that place of worship, only one (the
Rev. Mr. Beckett) now remains in the Church of Eng-
land. It is already with the knowledgJ of our readers
that the Bishop of Ripon, acting upon respresentations
made to him, instituted inquiries, which ended in the
dismissal of three of the curates of St. Saviour's, and the
resignation of his cure by Mr. Minster. These steps of
the diocesan have, we believe, given great offence to Dr.
Pusey, through whom the funds came for erecting and
endowing St. Saviour's Church, and in whom, if we mis-
take not, the presentation rests.
The services on Thursday evening commenced shortly
before eight o'clock, and were conducted by the Rev. R.
Browne, incumbent of St. Anne's, assisted by the Rev.
Mr. Cavanagh and the Rev. Mr. Levy, of St. Anne's ;
the Rev. Mr. Leary and the Rev. Mr. O'Donnell, of St.
Patrick's ; the Rev. Mr. Clifford, of Clifford, near Tad-
caster ; and the Rev. Mr. Darnell, of London. The
clergy, sacristan, and others engaged in that portion of
the duties of the church, having taken their place within
the altar rails, the• ceremonies then proceeded. The
seven persons presenting themselves to be received as
Roman Catholics made the confession of faith required
from all persons joining the Romish Church, by reciting
together the formulary laid down in the creed of Pius IV.
The following additional particulars connected with
this state of things we take from the Leeds Intelligencer
of Saturday last :—Three or four of the laity were part of
the choir of the church, and three or four females, one of
whom was denominated a " Sister of Mercy," and occu-
pied some post in connection with the half-monkish esta-
blishment that has been attached to St. Saviour's almost
from the opening of the church.
We have heard that Vim. Willberforce, Esq., of Mark-
ington, near Ripon, has also joined the Church of Rome.

The Rev. Dr. Pusey and the Rev. C. Marriott, Dean of
Oriel College, Oxford, are the patrons of St. Saviour's.
The Rev. R. Ward was joined with them, but his secession
to the Church of Rome prevents his acting as a patron.
We understand that the person appointed vicar to St.
Saviour's, in the place of Mr. Minster, is the Rev.
Charles Gutch, M.A., Fellow of Sydney Suss. Col. Cam-
bridge, and curate of St. Margaret's, Leicester, and that
he will commence his duties in Leeds in the course of a
few days.
Dr. Pusey has been for some days at Leeds. He
preached at St Saviour's on Thursday evening, and we
understand that he preached at the same place on Sunday
last.
The patron of the Church at Clifford is George Lane
Fox, Esq., and there is no doubt a clergyman of true
Protestant principles will be appointed to succeed Mr.
Lewthwaite.

To give eclat to the " going over" of the parties,
" Father" J. H. Newman—himself a pervert from the
Church of England —now Superior of the Oratorians, came
from Oscott, near Birmingham, and has been both con-
sellingliattheir

The most public of the admissions was made at St. Ann's
Chapel, Park-row,ron Thursday evening. The edifice was
densely crowded, curiosity having led many Protestants,
of various denominations, to be present at a ceremony
which savoured much of histrionic spectacle.
The congregation At Saviour's has always been small,
and the clergy there have never obtained influence over
any educated persons. In an address lately presented to
the Bishop of Ripon, we understand that a great body of
those who addressed an admonition to his lordship were
unable to write. There has been an almost unlimited
command of money from some source or another by the
St. Saviour's clergy, and exaggerations almost asunlimited
of their success in flaking converts and of their various
doings. These things will continue, but Dr. Newman
will find himself much deceived if he expects to make
converts in Leeds of persons approaching respectability
in station or education. One of the curates, Mr. Beckett,
bas declined to act with his former accomplices, and, as it
is reported that he and one of the former curates have
come to blows, if not with fists yet with kicks, we suppose
him to be sincere. The patronage of the Church now
rests in Dr. Pusey's family, and the Rev. Charles Mar-
riott. We would fain hope that Dr. Pusey will, after his
miserable failures, place the patronage in the hands of the
Bishop of Ripon. Nothing but the nomination of
married clergyman will giro satisfaction.

SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION

MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE.
THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING of this SOCIETY was held in the WATERLOO
Rooms, Edinburgh, OR WEDNMIDAY, the 19th February. ~,,
JOHN HUNTER, Esq., Auditor of the Court of Sessions, 1"`
Senior Director„being called
.to the choir, said,—The Directorshave the greatest satisfaction in again meeting with their Con'
stituents. Nothing is so pleasant to report as good tidings.
On no former occasion have the Directors had anything to et`'
press but congratulations; and the present meeting forms n°
exception in that respect. The prosperity of the Institution
nas steadily and rapidly increased.. The business reported a
our last meeting was the largest we had ever had, and we halte
now to report a still more successful year. We have attained
a position which, I believe, was never reached by any similar
society in so short a space of time. But lam only forestallin!
Mr. Oliphant, who, as Convener of the Committee will nn7
f.
bring up the Report.
Mr. WILLIAM OLIPHANT, Publisher, laid on the table the
Report from the-Directors. After referring in terms of con"
gratulation to the different topics which it embraced, he said,"
I will no further anticipate the Report now about to be read;
but, having been a Member of 'this Institution from its forint,'
tion, and having had thehonour of being an office-bearer during
the last eight years, first as Auditor, and afterwards as Dirac"
tor, and having consequently bad the best opportunities
of
studying its principles, awl of becoming acquainted with the
manner in which these have been carried into pract ce. I msl
perhaps be permitted, now tht t I am about to retire from Ycni",.
service, to offer a remark or two on its leading features, and on
the progress it has made during the period I have been officialli
connected with it.

On the first of these topics it is scarcely needful to enlarged
as the principles of the society have been already so amply ens
admirably illustrated in the published proceedings of ourvast'
out annual meetings. Whether I look at the moderate, though
fully adequate, scale of our premiums, which enable the assure
at once to receive the largest benefit at the least expense,

thus, in the event of his early death, to obtain for his fam'lY °

the operation of the usual bonus system : or at the equitable
mode of adjustment under which the surplus which shall °Fsi
crue, (and this is already known to be very considerable,/ well
he ultimately apportioned among those parties by whom it bee
been chiefly created, I am snore and more convinced of the
soundness and equity of the basis upon which this society Wei
founded. It may be alleged that our principles of division per'
take of the nature of a tontine. But this, in the modified sense
in which it is true, so far from a blemish, I rather look upon se
an advantage. To use the words of the learned Professor who Pre"
sided at our first Annual Meeting—' I his peculiarit y will reconl"
mend this Institution to young lives, and prove of no disadvantage_
in any case, more especially when it is recollected how prone Wei
are all to reckon on longevity, and how truly the poet says--•
• All men count all men mortal but themselves.'
Longevity has, in this office, its fair and legitimate influenCe)

point of general character to which I would
particularly advert. I should have thought it scarcely admitted
of doubt that a Mutual Office, in which the whole profits belong
to the Members, must be more beneficial to assurers than of,
modification of the Proprietary system, in w hi ch a portion 0'
those profits belongs to other parties.- Yet I have met wit!!
persons who were under a misapprehension on this point, sed
who have alleged that Mutual Assurances societies do not, Or
more than Proprietary Companies, divide their whole prnfitgr
their constitution requiring that, out of these, they shall re;
serve a certain proportion to form a guarantee fund ; and 'lo°'
to that extent, the profits are withheld from, the contributors.
Now, this allegation is founded upon a very palpable fallacy,
It is true that, in the Mutual Office, a reserve is made at ese'
investigation ; but the sum so reserved falls into the fund for
,S
division at the next period of investigation. Observe the do
ferent results of the process in a Mutual and in a Proprietor/
Office. Suppose that, at a fist investigation, the'profits ore. „
amount to £lOO,OOO, and that in each a reserve of a fourtbt
made. In the Mutual Office the sum of .4'25,1'00 is then with
held, but it is added to the surplus devisable at the second Pe..„
Hod of investigation. The new reserve then made is, in Ile
s%
manner, divided at the third, and so on. The amount of O'`'
re erve fund, indeed, may go on increasing, with the increase
of the profits, and so as to bear a proportion to the increasill
engagements; but it is only at the first investigation the..
literally, the whole profits are not divided among the assure,:
say literally, for if the progress of the first x'25,000 is trace",
it will be found that, within a very few of these recurring Pie,:
Hods, it is almost wholly apportioned among the assured. r
the Proprietary Office, on the other hand, in the case supposef
the first reserve is forever withdrawn from the assured, and so Is!

Mr. Oliphant then read a tabular statement, contrasting 'o,l`o,
present state of the Society with its position five years east
when he entered on office as Director, and which showed "`'
in that period the business had greatly more than doubted.
There was then read the following

aPlieties attending the charge of five young motherless
Children, and the fatigues incidental to thirteen years of

I.llllough had fallen. He made the usual application to

laetlY of Caius College, Cambridge), whom he was desk-

Kissed the voluntary theological examination ; had been

Aniwijuoiourcm. Soct STY. —This society purpose
holding their annual meeting this year in Derby. The,
Duke of Devonshire will preside. The members Intend
visiting Wingerworth Manor, Haddon-hall, Tutbury
Castle, and other places of antiquarian interest in the
locality. _

THE " TIMES" NEWSPAPER.—How common is it for
people to run down the Times newspaper for its incon-
sistency ! Yet how few have so well kept to the princi-
ples on which they set out. The following Is an extract
from the prospectus of that journal, inserted In its first
number :—" The political head of the Times, like that of
Janus, the Roman deity, will be double-faced," &c.
To RELIEVE SHIPS AT SEA.—It occurs to MO that the
syphon might be made available in relieving ships at sea
from water shipped in storms. It frequently happens that
the pumps get choked and will not work, and often the
men are too exhausted to work them ; would not the
syphon obviate this difficulty ? It was used a short time
ago with complete success at a quarry, and at a consider-
able saving of labour; time, and expense.--The Builder.
THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.—On Thursday another pro-
cession of the seamen on strike in the port of London
took place in the northern districts of the metropolis.
They carried banners inscribed the " Seamen's Strike,"
and " We protest against the Mercantile Marine Act of
1850." The men wore large blue rosettes, and had mo-
ney-boxes, in which they solicited the passers-by and
housekeepers to deposit something to aid them in the
strike, and in which they were very successful. Each
man on joining the strike is required to deposit his regis-
ter-ticket, without which he cannot get a ship, and he
then receives from la. to 2s. 6d. a day. In addition to
paying all expenses, and engaging two of the metropolitan
theatres, the strike has already acquired a considerable
amount of cash in hand.

EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF FRAUD. At Marlborough-
stre:et, on Friday, Richard Douglas. otherwise Sir Richard
Douglas, otherwise Captain Douglas, of Orpington House.
Kent, Ascct-villa, Ascot, and No. 6. lelgrave-terrace, and
his two sons, Charles and Arthur Douglas. were commit-
ted for trial charged with having for a length of time
carried on a most successful system of obtaining goods
from various tradesmen by fraudulent pretences. The
constable, Downing, who took charge of the two sons, and
got up 'the evidence in many cases against them, has since
their apprehension ascertained that within two years the
father and sons have succeeded in getting from between
45 and 50 tradesmen £3,702 worth of property. On the
elder prisoner a diary was found which revealed a system
of /lying by the wits unexampled for success, audacity,
and extent. The diary for 11351 was kept in a business-
like manner. It opened with a list of the names of gen-
tlemen and ladies to whom begging applications for money
had been made, the names of the parties who had not
replied to the applications being brought forward and
posted in quite a mercantile way. The first day of the
year opened with a prayer to Providence to bless the
exertions of the writer and his sons, and make them more
prosperous and productive than the last year.
HOSPITAL GA RDENS.—There can be no doubt but that
glass will he brought greatly into use by the success of
the building in Hyde-park. Messrs. Fox and Henderson
have already orders for the construction of private houses
in the country, in which glass is to form the main build-
ing material. and there are even projects of thus 'fencing
in streets. It is in contemplation to glaze over the im-
mense quadrangle forming the interior of the British Mu-
seum, and to make'it a receptacle for the fragments of
ancient art ; and the Lancet urges upon hospital autho-
ri,ies the propriety of enclosing with glass a-portion of
the miserable gardens or quadrangles attached to our
London h tspitals. The passage from the sick bed to the
busy streets shoUld be conducted with more art. Of the
present condition of these gardens, our contemporary
says, " How even the healthy heart sinks at the sight of
them ! It would seem as though the animal 'disease sur-
rounding them entered their vegetable life in a concen-
trated form. Soot chokes the grass. The trees in the
heat of summer spread their black and leafless arms ; and
the very birds are frightened at them. Hospital gardens,
in short, are melancholy examples of what nature can be
brought to by the hard treatment of man:" With a glass
roof the temperature might be regulated in a certain
degree, without excluding the fresh air. Such enclosed
spaces might-form winter gardens and conservatories for
the sick, as we already have them for the hale and strong ;
and it is said that the governors of the Hospital for Con-
sumption have already entertained the idea.—lnquirer.
SINGULAR ELECTION.—On Tuesday, the interesting
ceremony of electing a warden of Dulwich College, took
place. By the ordinances of the founder, Mr. Edward
Alleyn, the warden must be a single person, of his blood
only, or of his surname only ; and the election is invested
in the master and the four fellows and the six assistants.
The six assistants are the two churchwardens of St. Bo-
tolph's, Bishopsgate ; two churchwardens of St. Luke's;
and the two senior churchwardens of St. Saviour's,
Southwark. The parties meet at the college, and pro-
ceeded to the chapel to hear the divine service, the founder
having directed the election to take place in the chapel
after divine service. At the end of the sermon, the mas-
ter and the fellow proceeded to the altar, and the names
of the several candidates having been written on a sheet
of paper, the assistants were called ,seriatim, and they,
severally recorded their votes in favour of two, and after-
wards the fellows and master registered their votes, and
the master pronounced the numbers to be in favour of
John Hensleigh Allen, one of the two candidates selected
by the college, and Richard William Allen, the candidate
named by the assistants. These two gentlemen were
then called to the front of the altar, and the master
having put into a box two rolls of paper tied with red tape,
on one of which was written the words " God's gift," and
shaking them thrice, called upon Mr. Richard William
Allen, who was by a few months the senior, to select one.
This he did, and Mr. John Hensleigh Allen took the other.
The papers were severally enrolled, amid much excite-
ment, and the important words, "'God's gift," were
found on -the paper taken by Mr. Richard William Allen,
the nominee of the assistants.

THE FRIMLEY MURDER.—The trial of Levi Harwood,
James Jones, and Samuel Harwood, for the burglary at
Frimlev, and the murder of the Rev. George Edward
Holiest, commenced on Monday, at !Kingston, before
Baron Parke. The prisoners severally pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson and Mr.
Robinson. appeared on behalf of the Crown; Mr. Bal-
lantine, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Wollett defended the
prisoners. When Hiram Smith, who had been admitted
an approver on behalf of the Crown, was put into the
dock, he glanced hurriedly around the court, and then
took his seat. He appears to be about 28 years of age.
The two Harwoods and Jones are much stouter and
stronger men, and of about the same age. Mrs. Holiest
gave evidence as to the circumstances which have already
been before-the public. Upon Mr. Ballantine (in cross-
examination)esking her whether she had ever seen Hiram
Smith, she replied " I have." Mr. Ballantine : Did you
on first seeing him believe that he was -the man who
struggled with -your husband P Mrs. Holiest : I did
think so. Mr. Ballantine : Did you believe that Smith
was the man who fired at and shot your. husband ? Mrs.
Holiest : I did believe so. Mr. Ballantine-: ;Do you be-
lieve so now ? do. This remark was made most em-
phatically by Mrs.,Hollest, and created a thrilling sensa-
tion throughout the court. It was thought by many that
it would go far to destroy the evidence to be rendered by
the approver Smith..which, however. was afterwards given
with such minuteness of detail. The effect.it caused
may be understood from the verdict it produced in con.
nection with the other evidence. The trial lasted the
whole, of Monday and Tuesday ; the verdict was not
delivered until a late hour on the .latter day. The jury
retired at a quarter to seven o'clock, and at nine they
returned into court and gave a verdict of guilty against
Levi Harwood and James Jones' and they declared
Samuel Harwood not guilty. The foreman, at the same
time, said it was the unanimous 'opinion of the jury that
neither Levi Harwood or Jones fired the fatal shot at the
deceased, but that it was fired by Hiram Smith. Levi
Harwood and Jones declared their innocence o. the bur.
glary and murder. Baron Parke passed sentence of death
on both prisoners. Samuel Harwood, on being released
from custody, was immediately -arrested on a charge of
being concerned in a burglary committed in Sussex.
Hiram Smith remains in custody to learn her Majesty's

pleasure
THE AERIAL VOYAGE.—The Duke of Brunswick, after
waiting several days for a propitious flight, started
on Monday, with Mr. Charles Green, from Hastings, on
his aerial voyage to Germany. Mr. Green had provided
an apparatus for enabling him to skim over the water at a
fled elevation. A gutta percha line, above two hundred
feet long, had three logs of wood secured to it at intervals
near.its extremity. The grapnel was attached to two me-
tallic air vessels, sufficient to enable it to float upon the
water. Bladders of air were provided, to be attached to
the grapnel line, to aid it in floating. Soon after leaving
the earth, the balloon partially entered a cloud, but pre-
sently began to descend ; and, when last seen, was only
at a slight elevation from the surface of the water, mov-
ing in a-south-easterly direction. The intention of Mr.
Green was to let his logs and grapnel float upon the sea,
so that he mieht be able to maintain an uniform level
without lass of ballast or gas. As they crossed the chan-
nel they were on several occasions so near the water that
they could converse through a speaking trumpet with the
• crew on board the fishing boats. When they drew near
the French coast the grapnel was lowered. The shore
was found to have been left by the'ebbing of the tide, and
the sands were observed to be of great extent. Two men
were seen welkin on the sands, and as the balloon passed
over. them, with its guide-line trailing behind, one of
them caught at it, and was immediately seen to be dashed
violently to the earth. The rope got under the feet of his
companion, who forthwith performed a complete summer.
sault in the air and was speedily placed hors de eonibal.
The unfortunate pair, however, wore eventually seen to
regain their legs, doubtless convinced of the fallacy of
endeavouring to catch' a balloon. The land in the vici- 1
nity of the shore was observed by Mr. Green to be of an
undulating character, apparently ill adapted for the pur-
pose of a descent; he, therefore, proceeded onward till he
surmounted a lofty hill, the summit of which he cleared
at an elevation of about 50 feet. He then descended ra-
pidly. In the valley appeared a village, from'which scores
of people were speedily seen to emerge. The Duke laid
hold of his speaking trumpet, and shouted directions to
the, peasantry how to act. The balloon reached the earth
almost without a shock, and abundance of assistance be-
ing promptly rendered, the aerial visitor was soon made
'fast; and' the Duke and Mr. Green alighted, finding them-
selves in the fields near, Neufchatel, about 10 miles south
west of Boulogne. A railway station appeared half a mile
off, situate on the Boulogne and Amiens Railway. , His
Highness proceeded at once to the station, and almost
,immediately took his seat in a train en route for Paris ;
while Mr. Green, having discharged the gas, got the bal-
loon packed up, and proceeded therewith in I rt to
Boulogne, where he arrived about ten o'clock a t ight.
The descent was made at slew minutes after six o' lock,
the voyage having occupied nearly five hours, while the
distance traversed was reckoned at full 60 miles. ! Mr.
Green styles his' trip as an " agua-arial" voyage, and
describes it as having been most delightful not only to
himself, but, also to his Highness, to whom one great re-
commendation was the absence of all sensible motion.

YHE LATE-EDWARD RUSHTON, ESQ.

•
We `deeply regret to state that our able stipendiary magis-
trate, who has discharged with such satisfaction the duties
of that office for the last twelveyears, expired at hisresidence.
Parkside-house, Stnithdown-lane, on Friday morning, at
seven o'clock, after a brief but severe illness, which
began with his hereditary ailment, the gout, in despite of
which he persevered in his magisterial duties daily up to
Friday week, on which day he had a long sitting. The
same night he was seized with gout in the stomach. On
Tuesday last erysipelas was observed about the nose, and
this painful disease rapidly spread, and defied the utmost
efforts of medical skill. He expired in the 57th year of
his age, surrounded by the sorrowing members of his
family, who had all been summoned on that melancholy
occasion. We believe that, besides daughters, Mr.
Rushton has left four sons ; the eldest, having adopted
his father's profession, is one of the barristers employed in
the contest between the Corporation and its assailants;
the second son is an engineer ; the third a cotton-broker;
and the fourth is in the office of a London solicitor.
We have rarely witnessed in the town, on any occasion,
such a universal feeling of regret as pervaded the public on
the lamented gentleman's decease becoming known. On
Saturday a numerous meeting of the borough magistrates
was held in the Council-room of the Town-hall, when
very affecting addresses were delivered by Mr. Gladstone
and Mr. Adam Hodgson in moving and seconding resolu.
tions of condolence with Mr. Rushton's family ; and for
the appointment of a committee, consisting of the Mayor,
Mr. W. Rathbone, Mr. H. Hornby. Mr. G. Maxwell,
Mr. J. Aikin, and Mr. R. Gladstone, " to report to a sub-
sequent meeting the best means of a more adequate memo-
rial, especially keeping in view what may be considered as
his testamentary bequest to his brother magistrates, to
which some of his last efforts were directed, namely, the
carrying out of his plans for the reformation of juvenile
delinquents, which had already obtained for their la.
mented author tributes of honour and approval from the
highest and most competent authority."
Both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Hodgson bore very strong
testimony to the merits and good qualities of Mr.
Rushton, and to his ability and impartiality as a magis-
trate—Mr. Hodgson closing his appropriate observations
with the remark, that he believed the magistrates would
never meet on any occasion of importance without feeling
the magnitude of their loss. The resolutions were unani-
mously agreed te. The funeral is fixed to take place this
(Tuesday) morning, at nine o'clock, at St. James's
Cemetery ; and it is generally expected that it will
assume a public character, although. we believe, it was at
first the wish of the family that it should be as private and
unobtrusive as possi" le. The magistrates will avail
themselves of Mr. Earle's offer, and wait at Spekeland
in order to fall in with the funeral procession. Several
members of the Corporation will, no doubt, avail them-
selves of this opportunity to pay a tribute to the memory
of the deceased; and it is thought that the constabulary
will also follow the ?mains. On Saturday, at their weekly
meeting, the Watch Committee passed resolutions of
condolence with the family of the lamented deceased.

LIVERPOOL. ON HER
WEDDING DAY.
Afay Christ weave thee a garland on this nuptial morn,
With the roses of Sharon, thy brows to adorn ;
With the ring of His love may he claim thee for His,
And pronounce thee joint heir o' His heavenly bliss.
May the true wedding robe, which was purchased with blood,
Be thy portion, dear Mary, by Jesus bestowed ;
By His grace freely pardoned, and cleansed from all sin,
Be thou spotless without, and all glorious within.
May my friend and her partner in holy connexion
Be united through Christ by true Christian affections
May the wife prove a sister, the husband a brother,
And each find a help in the faith of each other.
Thus thy marriage on earth a sweet emblem shall be
Of s far brighter union provided for thee
And then, the few days of thy pilgrimage past,
Thy Saviour will own thee Ins bride at the last.

TO MISS

AN INCIDENT OF THE CENSUS.—One of the collec-
tors under the census act, in the neighbourhood of
Hulme, received a blank return from one man ; and he
was asked why it was not filled up. The reply was, that
nobody had slept in the house the preceding night. Was
the house empty, then ?—he enquired, no was the re-
joinder ; but my wife was confined of twins for the third
time about ten o'clock ; and nobody has ever slept since.
A CURIOUS SUICIDE.—A determined act of suicide
was committed a lew days since by a farmer in the com-
mune of Her. 6-la-Clifi,el, Saline-et-Loire. Atter arrang.
ing all his affairs, and settling with his creditors, he har-
nessed two oxen to a cart, which he drove into a field at
the foot of a tree ; he then fastened one end of the rope to
the tree, and after making a running noose in the centre
of it, which he passed round his own neck, ho tied the
other end'to the yoke of the oxen, and whipping them on
he was immediately strangled.— Galionani's Messenoer.
THs FIRST PERSON WHO " CUT HIS STICK."--ThiS
illustrious individual has so long slept with his fathers
that the present generation are in utter ignorance of his
ever having existed ; and even now, 'when, after patient
investigation, we have discovered the class to which he
belonged, we fail in so far as individuality is concerned ;
but we can state for certain that, in common with the
great philosopher who drew electricity from the clouds,
our hero was a printer. Any one who has been in the
inside of a printing-office knows that every single letter of
which the congregated mass of words, daily and almost
hourly, presented to the public, consists, is separately, by
the manual labour of the compositor (printer), inserted
into his composing stick. This is his constant companion
from morning till night ; and at leaving-off time, when
one cuts the desk, and another cuts the shop—the tailor
cuts his .goose, and the cobbler cuts his wax—when all
the working population cut this thing and that, THE
PRINTER CUTS HIS STICK !—Printer's Devil.
