THE LEAGUE AND THE Rlfr Mn. BAILEY

The Leaguers have had another field-day—an " extra-
ordinary meeting "—to rebut the indignant scorn levelled
at their great prophet, Richard Cobden. Of course, it will
be supposed, they embraced this fitting occasion of denoun-
" connection with the rev. gentleman who " had heard
willing to shoot Sir Robert Peel, and suggested,
for his encouragement, that " there would be few to shed a
tear " over his victim. Not at all! In the five or six co-
lumns of speechifying perpetrated on the occasion, there
was not a word of mention of the rev. gentleman i❑ question
—not a word of acknowledgment that such a speech had ever
been made, although it has now been acknowledged by him-
self in a letter addressed to the editor of the London Times;
and yet the League are indignant that a word from any
member of their body can be supposed to have suggested the
murderous deed of M`Naughten, or confirmed the miscreant
in his purposed wicked atrocity ! Mr. Bailey is still a che-
rished member of the conspiracy ; and at the next assem-
blage of the " ministers of all denominations," will be
found, no doubt, a prominent occupier of the League plat-
form, an admired of lady Leaguers, and a martyr to mono-
poly !

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

Sir,—Generosity to a foe, and especially to a victim, Is an
attribute peculiar to the brave ; whether you possess it will
be seen by your insertion of the following reply to your
attack on me in your leading article of Monday last. You
complain that I have " disclaimed, denied, explained
nothing." If your complaint were honest, you will allow
me in your pages to do all.
_ _

_ .
It is false that on Sunday, July 17, at an Anti-Corn-law
League Meeting I narrated the anecdote relative to the 100
lots and Sir R. Peel. The League never met on the Sunday.
Was it from mere misprint that you say Sunday ? Or did
)ou of design choose Sunday in order to shock your readers
with the notion of .a Dissenting minister attending League
meetings on the day when, by supposition, I had other em-
ployment?
If you had no particular object to answer by so doing, I
beg to ask why you should say, " We take our account from
the Morning Chronicle, as quoted by Mr. Roebuck ?" You
affect fairness by quoting the Morning Chronicle ' • but to
have done so would not have suited your views, and, there-
fore, you add, "as quoted by Mr. Roebuck !" And who is
Mr. Roebuck, that you must prefer his version to the text,
and arraign me on his foolish, careless, or malignant con-
struction of my words ? Is this your general style of quota-
tion ?

It is also false that I said I "knew a gentleman, who," &c.
I never did know the person, nor the locality where the chal-
lenge occurred. This, however, I will add, that it was nei-
ther " one of my constituents," nor enacted in Sheffield.
It is nut true that I advocated the " application to the par-
liament of force." I have always dissuaded from its use.
Governments are founded on force, and there are circum-
stances when the people are justified in resorting to its use:
but I do not think such a case by any means to be that of
the people of Great Britain. Opinion "is more than a con-
queror" for all that I wish to see achieved.
It is also not true that I did not accompany the narration
of the anecdote with a strong protest. Part only of that pro-
test was, however, repeated. Of this I complained at the
time, both to several members of the League, and in a public
meeting at Sheffield immediately on my return. I am willing
to believe that the omission arose from accident rather than

design

YOu say, " an act of intention may be mentioned merely
for the sake of denouncing it." Now, it so happens that this
has always been one of the motives I have avowed for giving
publicity to the anecdote; the other was to show the state of
feeling in certain quarters. If I had concealed the anecdote,
and evil had been perpetrated, I should have reproached my-
self with not having given warning to the government. I
deserve thanks for making the anecdote public, and not
abuse.

If, however, you allege such a subject should not be pub-
licly alluded to, I beg to ask why you dilate upon it so
vehemently, when your leading article is so much more likely
to supply malicious incentive tan the comparatively obscure
recital by myself at first?

You hereby receive my thanks for your kind and Christian
suggestions that my speech had a connexion with the mur-
derer Wisiaughten. It was a very gracious act of your lion-
like clemency to

Sheffield Feb. 22. 1843

Your obedient servant,

MR. BRIGHT v. LORD BROUGHAM

The opinion entertained by one great man, of the charac-
ter of another, is, of course, :an ;interesting subject of con-
templation ; and we therefore take the liberty of placing
before our readers the estimation in which Lord Brougham
and Vaux, whose past eminence few will deny, is held just
now by Mr. John Bright, of Rochdale, cotton lord and
spouter extraordinary to the Anti-Corn-Law League. Re-
fearing, at the leauge meeting held in Manchester last week,
to a recent speech of the :ex-Chuncellor, delivered in the
House of Lords, the "preterpluperfection" of enlighten-
ment—" the preterpluperfectly bright, as his rev. fellow-
leaguer Giles declared him to be—termed the speech in
question a " Brummugum row"—(a wretched attempt at a
pun, it must be confessed)—and intimated further that any-
thing that fell from that " miserable creature" was un-
worthy of his sublime consideration- Lord Brougham
and Vaux—the once worshipped of the Whig party, the
hero of reform, negro emancipation and a hundred other
quackeries,—a " miserable creature" !—in the estimation ,too,
of a shallow Anti-Corn-Law quaker like John Bright !

" To what vile uses do we come at last!'

Henry Brougham a " miserable creature" in the eyes of
John Bright of Rochdale ! Alas for the mighty !

The London Times of Thursday had a lut leading article
relative to the late case of the institution of a clergyman at
Chudleigh, by election, and:in the course of it says—Validity
of the trusts seems to have been taken for granted by all
parties, and therefore, we presume, that they were so framed
as to be free from objection ; but it is notorious that the late
Rev. Mr. Simeon, and many of those who imbibed his pecu-
liar doctrines under his tuition at Cambridge, have purchased
many advowsons, and vested them in trustees so selected as
to render it probable that none but those who might hold
similar doctrinal views would be presented to the livings;
and any presentation by such trustees would give a fair oc-
casion for trying their right. We believe that the validity of
such trusts is decidedly questionable. The policy of the law
requires that no property shall be so tied up as to be per-
petually unalienable, except in certain specified cases, among
which are those technically called "charitable uses.
SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH. —Mr. Hyde, the city coro-
ner, held an inquest on Wednesday, at the Falcon, Broad-
street, Worcester, on the body
of Herbet Williams. aged
five months, the child of labouring people, living in Friar's
Alley, which came by its death on the preceeding day, under
the following singular circumstances :ng --The deceased, from
birth, had evinced great repugnance to fowls, and seemed
especially annoyed at the crowiof a cock, On Tuesday
afternoon shortly after dinner, the child's mother was nurse-
ing it at the door, and had placed it to stand upon the ground
while holding its arms, when a cock fowl, which had been
fighting near, approached where the child was. and began to
crow. Instantly upon this, the infant shrieked, and went
into fits, which terminated its existence in a few minutes,
even before the arrival of Mr. Orwin, surgeon, who had
been sent for directly upon the child been seized. Verdict,
" Died from fright, occasioned by the crowing of a cock."
—Hereford Journal.

MATERNAL AFFECTION.—The following simple and
affecting incident of maternal affection took place in Glas-
gow a few weeks ago :—An elderly widow, in humble cir-
cumstances, called at the shop of a silversmith, and taking
out of her pocket a " bawbee" (halfpenny), requested him to
cover the rim of it all round with silver. Curious to know
the reason why so small a
piece of copper should be orna-
mented at so much expense, the silversmith inquired, when
the poor widow informed him that it was a " gift frae her
son," who had unfortunately been led astray by bad com-
panions, and, under the sentence of the Court of Justiciary,
was banished for seven years. On the morning of his de-
parture she went up to Bridewell to see him away, and she
said she had just a glimpse of him,
bawbee—saying that it was all he had in the world. The
poor woman, sheddingwhen lie gave her the
tears, said she would keep it as a
token of remembrance as long as she lived, as it would " aye
be like a picture to her of her poor Willie, when he was far
awa and o'er the seas."—Edinburgh Witness.

THE PENDLETON MURDER; 1817.—We inserted in
our paper of Tuesday last a paragraph in reference to a
confession made by an old man, on his death-bed, as to this
murder. The paragraph was from the Manchester Courier,
and induced a belief that the men who suffered for the
murder were innocent. The Manchester Guardian of Satur-
day last, however, says, so far is this confession from
weakening the case against the Ashcrofts and William
Holden, that, if made at all, which we rather doubt, it tends
to strengthen that case. That more than one person had
been concerned in the murder was perfectly manifest from a
variety of circumstances ; and, indeed, John Holden's
alleged statement implies that others were with him, as he
says he did not commit the robbery. He could, therefere,
only mean that he was one of the parties who committed the
crime. If so, what could be more natural than that his own
nephew, and the Ashcrofts, who were constant associates,
should be his accomplices? William Holden and the Ash-
crofts no doubt protested their innocence to the last ; but
that is a fact on which no prudent man would place the
slightest reliance, especially in a case where• there was no
direct evidence against the prisoners; who might naturally
think that, by persisting in their asseverations of innocence,
they might have a chance of obtaining a reprieve.
HOUSE or COMNIONS.—The following gentlemen, who
were not returned at the meeting of parliament in August,
1841, now have seats in the house :---Sir Henry W. Barron,
Robert Bateson, jun., Ralph Bernal, sea., Dr. John Boyd,
Edward Cardwell, William D. Christie, Viscount Clive,
John C. Colquhoun, Elias Corbally,, David A. S. Davies,
Hon. Henry Fitzroy, Hon. W. Fitzmaurice, Sir Stephen
Thomas
Glynne, George Alexander Hamilton, !lean Flampden, Lord
Hussey,
Alfred Hervey, Joseph Hume,Hon. Wm.
S. S. Lascelles, Anthony Lefroy, Charles Leslie, Humphrey
St. John Mildmay, David Robert Ross, Sir Samuel Spry,
Charles S. Standish, John Walter, Lord Charles Wellesley,
Hon. James A. S. Wortley, Thomas Wyse. In addition to
the above changes, three members of the House of Commons
have succeeded to peerages, five have retired from parlia-
ment, three have been removed by death, two have accepted
offices incompatible with parliamentary duties, and eighteen
i
have been unseated on petition. It s also worthy of re-
mark, that Mr. O'Connell, who had been returned for two
counties, has made his election to sit for Cork ; that Mr.
Hope, though unseated for Weymouth, is now member for
Southampton ; and finally, that if Sudbury be disfranchised,
the numbers in the house will be reduced from 658 to 656.
PIGEON FLYING.—The ship Strabane of Glasgow, in the
course of her voyage from
Calcutta to Britain, in 1842,
picked up at sea a carrier pigeon, which seems to have flown
an board this vessel on the 23d of July last, in lat. 34 41,
south lon. 22 53, having a regimental button of her Majesty's
78th Regiment attached to its leg by a piece of brass wire.
On reference to a log kept on board the Mary transport, on
it appears that this bird was her outward passage to Bo.mbay, by Lieutenant G. Horrocks,
of the 78th Highlanders,
liber-
ated from on board the Mary. on the 13th of July, 1842, in
lat. 27 14, lon. 54 46; having thus made a distance of nearly
2,000 miles in ten days. Although we believe that pigeons
have been known to traverse a much greater distance in the
same time, it is to be observed that this bird must, from the
state of the prevailing winds in the latitudes in question, have
had to encounter a constant succession of adverse gales,
nearly right a-head of its course, from the day of its departure
from the Mary till that of its capture_ on board the Strabane.
It is farther remarkable, that it does not seem to have taken
a straight line to reach the Cape of Good Hope, but to have
adopted nearly the course of the Mary, avoiding the land of
the Island of Madagascar. close to which it must have passed.
However curious these facts may be, this experiment does
not seem to throw any light on the wonderful powers of in-
stinct by which the pigeon is enabled to direct its course.—

PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—A handsome pocket com-
munion service, with some articles of table plate, were pre-
sented to the Rev. T. B. Browne, on the occasion of his
leaving Wortley, near Leeds. for Roos, near Patrington,

nion service bore this inscription :—" Rev. Thomas Briarly
Browne, 8.A., a token of respectful and affectionate regard
from the members of his congregation at Wortley, near
Leeds, on his separation from them after two years' residence
as their curate. Bth February, 1843.
THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.—The following is
an extract from a long and able article which appears in the
Chester Chronicle, exposing the injustice, inconvenience,
and fraud, which would be entailed upon the public by the
bill which has been introduced into the House of Commons
by Dr. Nicholl :—" At present any person can have a search
in the Chester registry for one shilling. To get such search
made in the London court will cost ten times as much at the
very least. But this is a small matter. The most important
is, as to the office charges for business done ; and on this
point we have been able to collect some astounding informa-
tion, which we think ought to rouse the country. For in-
stance, in cases where probates had been respectively granted
under the same wills in the registry of Chester and Doctors'
Commons:—ln one estate, th charge in Chester on £35,000
was £l9 Os. sd. ; in Doctors' Commons, the charge on
£16,000 was £34 6s. 4d. In another, the charge in Chester
on £25,000 was £7 13s, fid. ; in Doctors' Commons, on
£7,000, it was £l9 ss. 10d. In another, the charge in
Chester on £4,000 was £5 Os. 10d. ; in Doctors' Commons
on £6OO it was £ll Os. 4d. In another, the charge in
Chester on £2OO was £7 ss. 11d. ; in Doctors' Commons
on £6OO it was £23 Is. 6d. In another, the charge in
Chester on £3OO was £1 14s. Bd. ; in Doctors' Commons
on £2O it was .f 2 10s. Bd. These are all recent cases ; and
they show that the injustice of Doctors' Commons business
is as great on small as large estates."
REVENUES OF THE ENGLISH AND WELSH SEES.--The
ecclesiastical commissioners found that theaggregate revenues
of the 26 sees of England and Wales amounted to about
£150,000 per annum, but that this sum was very unequally
divided, varying from about £19,000 per annum for Durham,
to about £l,OOO per annum for Llandaff. As great an ine-
quality existed in the extent of the several sees, whether cal-
culated with reference to the number of benefices or the
amount of population in each, the number of benefices vary-
ing from 1,234 in Lincoln to 94 in Rochester, and the popu-
lation from 1,900,000 in Chester to 126,000 in Ely. And the
revenue of the see was often in inverse proportion to its ex-
tent. The commissioners came to the conclusion that this
was a state of things injurious to the interests of the church,
and which consequently required alteration ; and, in so doing.
they in fact only responded to the opinion which must have
been entertained by his late majesty and his responsible ad-
visers, in the appointment of the commission in the terms
before mentioned, an opinion which one would suppose must
meet with universal acquiescence among the well-wishers to
the established church. The alterations proposed by the
commissioners did not involve any increase or diminution of
the number of the episcopal sees, or the amount of their ag-
gregate revenues, but they recommended a more equal distri-
bution of both revenue and territory among the several sees.
With respect to revenue, they recommended that certain an-
nual payments should be made by the incumbents of the
richer sees to a fund, out of which certain annual payments
should be made to the incumbents of the poorer sees. And
with respect to territory, they recommended the transfer of
districts from one diocese to another; but, in consequence
of the great extent of the dioceses in the north of England,
and of there not being any adjoining dioceses to which
transfers of districts could conveniently be made, they re-
commended the creation of new sees at Ripon and Manches-
ter; and on the other hand, the union, in two instances, of
certain existing sees, of which the combined duties would'
not, they considered, be too onerous for a single bishop
Defence of the Union of the Sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.
A NEW SUBJECT OF CONTROVESY AT OXFORD.—By
the will of Dean Ireland, the sum of £lO,OOO, three per cent.
consolidated annuities, was left to the chancellor, masters,
and scholars of the University of Oxford, on condition that
the interest and dividends should be applied for the promotion
of a scheme of education " which is now in progress in the
said university, under the management of a committee of
heads of houses, for the more complete instruction of stu-
dents, particularly such as are destined for the church."
The interest and dividends of this sum of £lO,OOO are to be
appropriated for the benefit of a professor, whose department
shall be the exegesis of Holy Scripture, as is recommended
by the committee in question, other parts of theology being
already allotted to other professors under the general scheme.
This professor is to be appointed by the heads of colleges and
halls ; he is to be directed by convocation, and is to reside
every six months of every year at Oxford. If the above men-
tioned scheme of education should be abandoned, and it should
be found impossible to carry Dr. Ireland's directions into
effect, then he directed the chancellor to apply the interest,
&c., for and towards the support of the established religion
of England generally, or to the promotion of literature and
science within the university, as the convocation should de-
termine. On Thursday, March 9, at two o'clock, a convo-
cation will he held, at which a statute will be proposed to the
house relative to the bequest made by Dr. Ireland. On the
acceptance of the bequest last term, a meeting was held in
the common room of Oriel, to consider the expediency of re-
sisting it, on the ground of the patronage being vested in the
hebdomadal board. It was overruled, however, in conse-
quence of the interference of the more moderate of the " Ox-
ford party," who felt that great offence would be given to
Dr. Gaisford, whom Dean Ireland is understood to have con-
sulted about the terms of the bequest, and the bequest was
accepted with two dissentient voices—viz., Mr. Segar, of
Worcester, and Mr. of Jesus, friends of Dr. Pusey and of
Mr. Newman. The statute to be proposed on the 9th of next
month admits the new professor into the theological board,
of which Dr. Hampden is the chairman. This is objected to
by the above-named party on the ground that Dr. Pusey, as
Hebrew professor, claims to be exegetical professor- Be-
sides that, it is urged that the addition of one more professor
will make the regius professor of divinity's vote double—
viz., a vote as professor, and one in case of equality,nabsence
cbair-
m of a
an ; whereas he now has one in c
member of the board, and an equality of votes ootefsabe des. This
can never happen when all the members are present,
is to be hoped that the hebdomadal 1:d a 1 be
enablednd to
t
carry their statute in spite of the opposition of the " Oxford
party,"—Church and State Gazelle.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON

The annual general court of the proprietors of the above
college was held, on Wednesday, it the theatre of the Insti-
tution, Gower-street.

The report stated that in the session of 1841-2 the pupils
in the college and the junior classes numbered 886. Of those
336 were students in medicine. 153 in the arts, and 395 were
pupils in the junior school. -^o'nts from
students and pupils was £12,756 ,rs.
£9,081 18s. having bee❑ paid to the professors and roasters,
£3,675 2s. 10d. fell to the share of the college. The year's
income from other sources was £4,039 lls. 4d., and the dis-
bursements from the establishment department, including
payment for several permanent additions to the property of
the college • - amounted to
£4,000 17

Illy amount. of it
6d., of which sum

11d., thus showing that the expenses w(

vered by the receipts. Of the sum above mentioned of
£12,756 4s. 6d. received for education, £5,570 10s. was de-
rived from classes of the rnedieai faculty, £2,570 14s. 6d.
from these of the arts and law. To the library a set of works,
100 in number, printed by the government press at Cairo,
had been presented by Lord Brougham, who had received
them from the Pasha of Egypt. The junior school produced
during the year a a by £282 than the year
before. The collection t
last was £1,120.

1 L. Stanhope recommended, first, that clergymen
be appointed to read prayers and the Scriptures for the be-
nefit of the university. He thought that it was highly ne-

eessary that a system of religioiis instruction should be
undertaken by the university. The council and the proprie-
tors had seen that there were but 145 pupils in the general
school, when they expected to have had at least 3,000. If
they had gone properly to work they would have had the
latter number; but persons exclaimed, "I cannot send my
sons to the London University, because there is no religion
there." He (Col. L. Stanhope) assured the proprietors that
the college was a complete failure, for their shares were per-
fectly valueless in the market • they had no money; they'
could not even, on account of the expense, accept a present
just offered ; they had no religion, and lie might say no hope.
There might be some dogmatical philosophers who thought
that the world might be conducted without religion, but he
should like to ask, did they follow that practice in their own
families ? Ile would say, that at the time the college was
founded, had the devil himself crept into the council to ar-
range matters for the destruction of the society, they could not
have adopted measures better suited to the purpose than they
had.

Captain SWEENEY, a proprietor, complained of the man-
ner in which his two nephews, scholars in the university, had
been neglected. Last Christmas vacation, being anxious to
see what progress the young gentlemen had made i❑ their
studies, he opened a Virgil before the one who learned Latin,
when he was surprised that he could not translate or scan
two lines. He then tried them in mathematics, and found
them more backward in that science than when they went to
the college. They had been greatly neglected, and assured
him that little or no trouble had been taken with them.

Professor Key said that he paid all possible attention to
the various classes in the school, though his duties were
chiefly devoted to the senior Latin class. The nephews of
Captain Sweeney were brought direct from France when
they could hardly speak English, and it could nor, therefore,
be supposed that, being at the college but a short time, they
had made much progress. Their studies had not been ne-
glected, as the hon. proprietor asserted.

Colonel Stanhope's motion fell to the ground for want of
a seconder.

Lord Brougham was elected president, the Earl of Auck-
land vice-president, and Mr. John Taylor treasurer.
[On this subject the London Times remarks—" The gal-
lant colonel gives a pretty strong hint that he conceived the
council to be little better than receivers of money under false
pretences, liable to account for what they held in the Court
of Chancery.

" You have no religion," says the colonel, " and I may
now say (THEREFORE) NO HOPE !" This from a proprietor
of the Gower-street College. Quis Wend Graechos P " All
education," say the advocates of this and other institutions,
" for promoting neutral education must be either neutral or
sectarian." We accept this exposition of their views. It
assumes that truth is sectarian ; and on this issue—viz.,
whether there is or is not any tangible, real distinction be-
tween truth and falsehood, whether truth is or is not to be
classed with error, and all condemned alike under the deno-
mination of sectarianism, we gladly rest the question. And
that the neutral plan, which holds that there is no such dis-
tinction, is essentially and radically wrong, is shown in this
model of neutrality, the Gower-street College. With their
own mouths they tell us, " the college is a complete failure."
And why? "It has no religion, and no hope." It dares
not recognize the existence of truth and falsehood in the most
important element of education. It dares not to know any

truth whatsoever.l

CURIOUS FACT IN NATURAL HISTORY.—A gentle/ $.)311
who cultivates a farm in the icinity of Dumfries, bought
lately some of the lime used in our gas work for the process
of the purification of the gas, in order to make a compost of
manure for his farm purposes. The hens in his poultry-yard,
which were laying eggs, had access to this compost ; and as
it is well known that fowls partake readily of lime, which
enters largely into, and is necessary to the formation of the
shell, they fed, it is supposed, according to their appetite,
upon it. The consequence was, that in a few days the gen-
tleman and other members of his family perceived, at break-
fast, with a good deal of astonishment, that the eggs, on being
opened, had such an intolerable swell of gas that no one
could eat them.—Dumfries Herald.

AN INDEPENDENT CHAPEL SEIZED BY THE SHERIFF'.--
A novel scene occurred on Tuesday last, in East Stockwell-
steet, Colchester. Owing to some dispute between the Rev.
Jos. Herrick and the trustees of the chapel, in which he has
preached for many years, an action of ejectment was brought
against him, to recover possession of the meeting-house;
and judgment having been obtained, the sheriff's officer went
with due authority on Tuesday morning, and read the writ,
and afterwards allowed all the books, cushions, &c., that
belonged to the congregation, to be taken away by them.
Several hundred persons assembled to witness so novel a
scene. After it was cleared out the doors were locked, and
the keys delivered to a person appointed to receive them on
behalf of the trustees who instituted the proceedings, and
thus the matter ended.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

DR. WOLFF.—This distinguished man read a paper on the
Life and Death of 11Iuhammed before the Leeds Philoso-
phical and Literary Society, on the 17th inst. The personal
acquaintance of the lecturer with the scene of Muhanttned s
impostures, and his profound knowledge of the orientallan-
Loiages, gave a peculiar interest and freshness to the histo-
rical narrative; while his sound Catholic views induced re-
flections upon the opinions of " the Aral;ian Cromwell," as
Dr. Wolff designated Muliamtned, which were deeply in-
structive. The learned lecturer clearly sheaved, that it was
not until Christianity became corrupted by Arianism and
other heresies, that the licentious creed of the anti-christ of
Mecca—only a deeper shade of prevailing heresy—could
obtain entrance into the east. In refutation of a popular
misconception, Dr. Wolff observed that the professed Unita-
rianism of Muhatrimed increased rather than palliated his
wickedness, and the more nearly associated him with the
spirit of those demons who, though acknowledging the ex-
istence of the one God, are demons still. Dr. Wolff con-
cluded by reminding his audience of the fact of the Church
of Christ being the only barrier against the dogmas of Mu-
hammed or those of any other heretical impostor.
POPERY AND CHINA.—The Univers of the 12th inat.
states that the most consoling news for the followers of
Christianity has been circulating for the last fortnight in
Paris. According to letters from Rome, written by person-
ages of note, authentic information has been received in the
eternal city from the Catholic missionaries in China, an-
nouncing that the Emperor of the Celestial Empire has given
permission to the missionaries to enter and pass freely over
his dorniuions without being interrupted, and that he had also
requested new and more numerous missionaries to be sent
over. It is certain, at all events, that the Propaganda has
already appointed forty religious (amongst whom are some
Jesuits) for the Chinese mission, on which they are soon to
enter. The same letters of the Chinese missionaries confirm
the glorious miracle of the apparition of our Lord, in pre-
sence of a great multitude of the faithful and of the infidels.
The Gazette du Simplon of the Bth inst. gives details of the
miracle in the following terms :—" All religious hearts will
rejoice at the happy news which we have to announce, and
which we have received from different quarters about the
same time. Already had Catholicism hailed with hope the
unexpected event which laid the barriers of the Chinese em-
pire prostrate before European nations ; but we have now to
record more signal signs of the approaching conversion of its
swarms of inhabitants. That land which has been so long
bathed with the blood of martyrs, is about to be covered with
an abundant harvest, which new spiritual workmen are called
to gather in. Yes, the reign of persecution has now ceased ;
the people who sat in darkness have been illuminated with a
great light, and the day is drawing nigh wherein the church
will forget its combats, in order to sing th praises of Him
who has rendered it triumphant. According to accounts de-
rived from an authentic source, in the apostolic vicariate of
China, a great number of Christians and Pagans, natives of
China, beheld in the air the image of Christ crucified. If
the news which we have given be confirmed, and if, as it is
stated, the emperor, being resolved to embrace the Catholic
faith, has sent to the Sovereign Pontiff for fresh missiona-
ries, the most important results may be anticipated, and the
conversion of a nation may be reckoned on, the inhabitants
of which amount to 300.000,000.•'—[We copy the above pa-
ragraph from the Tablet, a Roman Catholic journal, to show
the working of Popery. In the same paper, the editor ex-
poses what he justly calls the diabolical imposition attempted
at Youghall by a nun ; and here he copies, without comment,
an equally " diabolical" pious fraud, invented for the pur-
pose of raising money in the introduction of Popery into
China. Truly has it been said, we do not know what Popery
is when it is only seen in the neighbourhood of Protestantism.
—Editor (If Record.]

TRUE CHURCHMEN.—The following is the character
drawn by Bishop Burnett of those persons who are idly nick-
named " Low Churchmen" by those whose avowed object
it is to unprotestantize our national church. " They are
cordially and conscientiously zealous for the church, as es-
tablished by law ; but yet they think no human constitution
is so perfect but that it may be made better .
They lay the foundation of all that they believe in 'the
Christian religion in the Scriptures. These, and these
only, are the measure and standard of their faith. No
great names nor shows of authority overawe them; they
search the Scriptures; there they seek and find their faith.
" They think that in matters declared to be indifferent, no
harm could follow on it, if some regard were bad to the
scruples of these who divide from us, in order to the forti-
fying the whole by uniting us among ourselves. But till
that can he done, they think a kind deportment towards dis-
senters softens their prejudices, and disposes them to hearken
to the reasons which they offer them with all the force they
can, without the asperity of words, or a contemptuous be-
haviour, in which they have succeeded so well that they see
no cause to chang't their conduct. They do indeed make a
great difference between Dissenters and Papists. They con-
sider the one as a handful of people true to the Protestant
religion and to our national interests, not capable of doing
us much mischief, and who are, as far as appears to them,
contented with their toleration, and are only desirous to
secure and maintain it. They have another and a very
different opinion of Popery. . . .They consider Popery
as a conspiracy against the liberty and peace of mankind, on
design to engross the wealth of the world into their own
hands, and to destroy all that stands in their way, sticking at
no practice, how false, base, or cruel soever, that can advance
this. This is the true ground of their zeal against Popery,
and indeed against every thing that has a tendency that way.
The raising the power and authority of sacred
functions beyond what is founded on clear warrants in
Scripture,:is, they think, the readiest way to give the world
such a jealousy of them, and such an aversion to them, as
may make them lose the authority that they ought to have,
while they pretend to that they have not. They dare not
unchurch all the bodies of the Protestants beyond sea; nor
deny to our dissenters at home the federal rights common to
all Christians, nor leave them to uncovenanted mercy.
They do not annul their baptisms, or think that they ought
to be baptized again in a more regular manner before they
can be accounted Christians. They know of no power in a
priest to pardon sin, other than declaring the gospel pardon,.
upon the conditions on which it is offered. They know of
no shcrifice in the eulharist, other than the commemorating
that on tie cross, with the oblations of the prayers, praises,
and almsgiving prescribed in the office. They are far from
condemning private judgment in matters of religion. This
strikes at the root of the whole Reformation, which could
never have been compassed if private men have not a right
to judge for themselves. On the contrary, they think that
every man is BOUND to judge for himself, which indeed he
ought to do, in the fear of God, and with all humility and
caution. They look on all these notions as steps towards
popery, though they do not conclude that all those who have
made them designed. that by so doing."

MARRIAGE OF THE MOWN-PRINCE 0}
HANOVER.

HANOVER, FEB: IG.—Among the twenty-four sovereigns
and princes who will be present at the marriwie ceremonies
and festivities, there are eight reigning sovereigns ; viz., the
Kings of Hanover and Prussia; the Grand Duke of Olden
burg and Mecklenburg
,Schwerin, and the Duke of Saxe Al-
tenburg, Brunswick, Nassau and Atiliault Dessau. and the
three hereditary Princes of Hanover, Prussia, and Mecklen-
burg.

Fas.l7.—At this moment (four in the afternoon) the
Princess Mary of Altenburg makes her entry into the city,
rather later than she was expected, she having been delayed
on the road by the festive reception given her in almost every
place between this and Hildesheim.
FEB; 19.—At the marriage of the Crown-Prince, yesterday
evening, the chapel was not crowded. Above fifty ,

could not draw up in time to the only door,
closed exactly at seven o'clock, and many persons who had
tickets could not gain admission. Those, however, who got
to the chapel in time formed a splendid assemblage. The
procession was conducted precisely as arranged by the pro_
gramme, only that the Grand Duke of Oldenburg was kept
away by disposition. The bride wore a white robe of drap
d'argent, with a profusion of jewels, a diadem of diamonds,
and a wreath of myrtle entwined the crown. The exchange
of rings was announced by a exchange of artillery. During
the benediction the young couple knelt at the altar. and.
when they rose, the King embraced them, and all the princes
and ladies present warmly expressed the interest they took
on the happy occasion. Proceeding to the upper apartments
of the royal palace, the formal congratulations were renewed,
but there was no ball. At eleven o'clock the Crown-Princess,
accompanied by her mother, and the Crown-Prince by his
father-in-law, went to the palace of the Crown-Prince, where
the august parents stopped with the young couple for some
time. Their royal highnesses showed themselves to the
people this morning, driving to church in an open carriage
drawn by six cream-coloured horses.

Young people invariably wish to be thought older than they
are. In a few years they are cured of this penchant, and
run into the opposite extreme.

The Hon. G. H. Stanley, a son of Lord Stanley, has been
seriously indisposed for the last few days. The answers re-
turned on Sunday to enquiries was, "Mr. Stanley is a little
better." The young gentleman is about 17 years of age.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Advices were received on Satur-
day morning from the Cape down to the 17th December.
Some rather important military movements had taken place
towards Colesbourg, and Colonel Hare is to take the com-
mand of 1200 men beyond the Orange River. This activity
has been caused by an offensive movement in Adam Kok's
district of the Griqua country, and open preparations to at-
tack Philipolis, independent of other proofs of open rebellion,
supposed to be connected with the proceedings of the Natal
Boers. These unequivocal demonstrations of the natives
have fully convinced the guvernor of the necessity of active
measures.

DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—On Wednesday
night, the 16th instant, at about half-past twelve o'clock
framework knitter, aged 53, named Joseph Daft, was found
dead in his bed at Sneinton by his sister, Hannah Daft. The
deceased bad been in the workhouse, but notwithstanding
his poverty, would often contrive to be in a state of intoxica-
tion for a month together. He had just finished one of his
drunken freaks, and was nursing himself to recover from the
effects. On the night of his death he had taken caster oil,
and in half an hour after his retiring to bed he was found
dead as described.—Nottingham Journal.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—On Friday, the 10th inst., Samp-
son Chivnoweth, who was employed as stampsman at the
Royal Polberon Consols Mine, in St. Agnes, was unfortunately
killed. It appeared he was about to apply some oil to the
co:-wheels of the machine, when his jacket was probably
caught by the cogs, and he was drawn in, and crushed to
death by the wheels. This was evident from the wheels,
which were besmeared with blood and large portions of the
brain. Several pieces of the jacket were also found adher-
ing to the teeth of the wheels, and near them were his hat
and oil-can. The body, when found, was disengaged from
the machinery, and had fallen into the pass behind the beads ;
and had it remained undiscovered an hour longer it would
have been pounded to atoms, and washed off along with the
tin stuff.—Plymouth Journal

AN ECCENTRIC BRIDE.—On the 26th of last month a
wedding was celebrated among the inhabitants of that fertil
fes-
e
mountain side lying to the north-west of Beauly. The
tivities were carried on with the usual glee—mirth and good
humour ruled the hour—and " all went merry as a marriage
bell," when, as it drew near the " witching hour of night,
the company deemed it expedient to separate, first wishing
the young couple " good night" in the old Highland style :
but their plans were nearly frustrated—tor, 10! the bride was
gone—where none could tell. Anxiously and mournfully
was she sought for. Some of the old folks began to tell
" auld warld" tales of " fairy brides and elfin wooers,
" when,
to the mingled amazement and delight of most of the com-
pany, at the end of two hours the fugitive returned, and a
reconciliation took place.—lnverness Courier.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.—A letter received in town this day
states that an occurrence of a very tragical nature took place
the day before yesterday near the town of Tuani, and, as the
parties move in a respectable sphere in life, the event has
caused no slight sensation. It appears that a Mr. Michael
Ward, son of Mr. Manus Ward, of Doen Castle, in the
county of Galway, a gentleman of independent property, and
his wife had not for son.e time past been living on amicable
terms, the lady being, it is alleged, severely afflicted by the
"green-eyed monster"—whether with just reason or no is,
however, a mystery. On the day in question, a serious dif-
ference
arose between man and wife, to avoid which Mr.
Ward retired to the kitchen for the purpose of seeing his
dogs fed: thither his enraged partner followed, armed with a
pistol loaded with slugs, the contents of which she discharged
at the ill-fated man, who, after a vain s ruggle t' detain her
in his grasp, sank down, bleeding and exhausted : he lies at
present in a very low state, with strong symptoms of in-
flammation being about to set in. The wretched woman,
who is most respectably connected, being grand niece of the
late Lord Clantuorris, has for the present escaped.—Dublin
correspondent of the Times.
THE CHURCH AT JERUSALEM.—Private accounts from
.Beyrout, under date of the Ist instant, state that the Emir
Arched Reslan, the Druise Kaimacan, had been liberated
from prison, and reinstated by Assad Pasha in hise funcath tion
oli s.
He had fixed his residence at Shouafat, and th Cc
Emir Haider at Soinna. On the 14th ult. Izzett, Pasha of
Jerusalem, forwarded a message by one of his effendis to M.
Nicolayson, the chaplain of Bishop Alexander, enjoining
him, as he had no authority for building a Protestant church
at Jerusalem, to cause the works to be suspended. M. Ni-
colayson having vainly remonstrated with the Pasha, it was
resolved that the Bishop should repair to Beyrout, to take
the advice of the British and Prussian Consuls-General, and
his lordship accordingly started from Jerusalem on the 20th
for Jaffa, where he embarked for Beyrout. On the 23d he
reached this last city, and laid the case before those two
roper to refer it to their respec-
tivectionar ambassadors atth Constantinople. Assad Pasha, to whom
funies, who ought
they applied in the mean time for an explanation of the mo-
tives of this prohibition, pleaded total ignorance of the aflair.

Baas's AND BUTTER.—During Cromwell's Protectorship
e court of
the principal residences of Charles 11. was at th his
sister in Holland. The Laird of Cockpen, a staunch adhe-
rent to the house of Stuart, followed the prince thither, and
attached himself to Charles' household. Cockpen, from his
skill and proficiency in music, very much contributed to di-
vert his royal master, by the impressive manner in which he
played the favourite airs of his native country • but none
pleased Charles so well. as the tune of " Brose and Butter."
So partial was be to this air, that • with " Brose and Butter"
sounding in his ears he was lulled to sleep night, at

and of her own unwearied devotion, appears in Mrs. Sigour-
ney's Pleasant Memories of Pleasant Lands.--" The ex-
ample of filial devotion exhibited by Miss Mitford adds lustre
