" Thus has it been with all who loved Mary Stuart ! The
royalty of Francis, the wit of Chastellar, the power and gal-
lantry of the gay Gordon, the melody of Rizzio, the portly
form and youthful grace of Darnley, the bold address and,
courtly manners of Bothwell, and now the deep devoted pas-
sion of the noble Douglas !—nought could save them ;—they
looked on the wretched Mary, and to have loved her was
crime enough to deserve early death ! No sooner had the
victim formed a kind thought of me, than the poisoned cup,
the axe and block, the dagger, the mine, were ready to pun-
ish them for casting affection on such a wretch as I am !"
The queen appears in a kneeling posture, clad in white,
with a flowing mantle of velvet and ermine, by the side of the
" noble Douglas," who is stretched on an ensign, looking his
last on his queen, for whom he had risked all, with the most
devoted loyalty, uttering, as may be supposed,

his dying

words. Fixing his eyes on her with an eagerness of passion
which death itself could hardly subdue. " Mourn not for
me," he said faintly, " but care for your own safety.; I die
in mine armour as a Douglas should, and I die pitied by
Mary Stuart." Sardanapalus exclaims—

" 'Tis comfort still to have our last looks
Fixed on lovely and loving faces."

And how well might Douglas have uttered the same words !
At Douglas's feet is a noble hound, one of the veritable
Landseer breed—at his head, a monk, who is dipping his
hand into a helmet filled with water—at the back of the
monk is Roland G rmme, who holds, by the bridle, 3lary's
favourite palfrey " Rosabelle.—a beautiful, gentle creature

that " confusion " would be more like Christian unanimity
than anything else, much more so than at present, when
many sat when they ought to kneel, and knelt when they
ought to sit. To say the new arrangement would be the
means of separating individual members of families from
each other, was saying that which was not correct. It could
do no such thing, for if some members of families went into
one bench, the remainder of which was filled up, the great
probability was, that those who were late would only have to
seat themselves in the bench behind, which could not be called
a separation. (Hear.) Nor could there, even if one portion
were in another, be any confusion in coming out of church.
So far, then, so good. (Hear, hear.) His proposition would
be thus—That, in the opinion of that meeting, it was ex-
pedient the pews be removed and benches substituted, and
with this view a committee be appointed, with minister and
parochial officers, for deciding on the best mode of carrying
that object into effect, and that the committee report on the
subject at a vestry meeting to be called at Easter next.
The Chairman said, it was necessary that the parish should
know what it really was now called upon to confirm or reject.
He begged to say that the proposition of making the pews
free, which was carried, was illegal, and could not be carried
into effect, and was in itself null and void. (Hear, hear.) I
If the meeting were not aware of the law of the case, he would.
state to them that the body of a church was vested in the
bishop for the use of the parishioners, and he delegated his
trust to the churchwardens, who had the power of allocating
the parishioners. He did not, therefore, hold it to be right
that this power which they possessed should be taken away
from them (Hear.) Nor did he think that the sentiments
of the parish had been rightly sounded on the matter; nor
did he think that the proper means had been taken to do so
even on the present occasion. He mast confess with all the
respect he felt towards the gentleman who had brought the
matter forward, that the meeting ought to take care what it
followed and carried out. Ile (the chairman) was anxious
for the welfare of all, and he addressed them now, not as one
of their fellow parishioners merely, but as a man appointed
by God to watch over their true interests. There were an
infinity of arguments that might be named against the plan.
In the first place it was inexpedient, for it would lead to con-
fusion in the church. God was a God of order, not confu-
sion. What could tend more to confusion in a place of pub-
lic worship than that wives should be separated from hus-
bands—husbands from wives—daughters from their natural
protectors? What would proceed from such a system as
that he could not dwell upon. God was a God of order, and
appointed different ranks in the world, and it was a fallacy to
say that all men in the house of God were equal. All men
ought to go in a level spirit to the Church, but not in a level-
ling spirit. (Hear, hear.) The noblest peer of the realm
should in the church be as the beggar on the dunghill in his
self-abasement, and laying his head in the dust, cry he was
unclean ; but he should not, in false humility, prostrate him-
self in an earthly sense upon an equality with those who were
below him. (Hear, hear.) No, it was a fallacy to say that
all men were equal, and he thought that all men who went to
church would feel more uncomfortable, if huddled together
and driven like sheep into a pen, than could be imagined.
(Hear, hear.) Let us have reform, and order, and decency,
and decorum, and then we shall have the blessing of God ac-
companying our endeavours to improve His worship. But
let us not exhibit ourselves as a laughing-stock to the king-
dom at large;_ let us not exhibit ourselves in such a light to
the world. Let us not make our conduct a matter of regret
to all really humble-minded, pious churchmen ; and let us
not, at the same time, exhibit ourselves as a divided flock to
those of our dissenting brethren who differ from us on points
of Christian doctrine.
The R 6. T. Mason moved the following amendment,
" that a committee be formed to take into consideration the
extent of the want of church accommodation in the parish,
and to consider the most eligible means of remedying the
evil. This was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Edgar.
Mr. E. Lawrence (vestry clerk) said if the meetinc, would
allow him he would read the law on the subject, as laid down
by Sir J. Nichol and others ; and, after stating the disposal
of seats to be in the churchwardens, under the direction of
the ordinary, remarked that, " Subject to faculties and pre-
spective rights, it is the duty of churchwardens to look to
the general accommodation of the parish, consulting as far
as may be all its inhabitants. The latter have a claim on the
ordinary to be seated according to their rank and degree.
Yearbook, 8 H. 7, 12 a. Bro. Abr. tit. Chattles, p. 11. 2
Add. R. 425. But in providing for this the churchwardens
are not to overlook the claims of all the parishioners to be
seated if possible. They must not therefore accommodate
the higher classes beyond their real wants, to the exclusion
of the poorer, who are equally entitled to accommodation,

~ugh not to the same accommodation, supposing the seats
not to be all equally convenient. See Fuller v. Lane, 2 Add.
R. 423. Rank, extent of property, general respectability,
length of inhabitancy, local situation of dwelling, number of
family, and even general regularity of attendance at church,
may be fairly considered by the churchwardens in deciding

on the claims of applicants."
Some conversation ensued as to the number of persons the
church would hold, Mr. Fonnereau stating that there was
only accommodation for 436 persons, whilst another gentle-
man stated that there was room for 489 ; but it appeared that
gentleman had allowed twenty inches for each
st the latter had taken only eighteen. A coach-
,
_nen present said that government only allowed sixteen inches
fur each passenger, and they called that ample accommoda-
tion. The average congregation was stated to be 628, and
one gentleman therefore argued that there was abundant
room for the persons attending, and that future proceedings
were unnecessary. _

the former

Mr. FonnereaU replied, and stated that in foreign cathe-
drals, among the Roman catholics, the benches were free.
This, however, was denied by a gentleman present, who
stated that the seats were locked.
Ultimately the amendment was carried by a large majority,
and the original motion was put and declared lost.

PENANCE !—The church of Heanton Punchardon, on
Sunday last, was the scene of an unusual spectacle, a young
woman (a farmer's daughter) having to do penance in pursu-
ance of the sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court, in the
cause of Martin v. Priscott ; Miss E. Martin (daughter of
a tenant of Heanton Court) being the plaintiff, and Miss
Agnes Priscott defendant. The ground of action was certain
defamatory expressions made use of to the plaintiff's preju-
dice.—North Devon Journal.

PRESBYTERIAN 81-CENTENARY MEETINGS.—By a let-
ter received from Dublin last evening, we learn that the
subscription there amounted to £1,275, of which Mary's-
abbey congregation furnished nearly £9OO ; and we may,
therefore, expect that the contribution will be very greatly
increased. We also understand that the amount subscribed
now exceeds £6OOO, while in many quarters the subscrip.
tions towards this fund has not yet commenced. A consi-
derable number of meetings will be held during this week ;
and in Friday's number we expect that we shall have to re-
port considerable additions.—Banner of Ulster.
SCOTCH CHURCH QI7ESTION.—A very important circum-
stance has occurred in the features of this question since Sir
J. Graham's letter to the Moderator was published. On
Friday last, in giving his opinion in another chirch case,
Lord Jeffery (whose elaborate opinion in defence of the veto
has been always held by the leaders of the dominant party in
the Assembly as the best statement of their case, and of the
principles on which they hold the judgments of the House of
Lords to be an invasion of their independence) declared in
most distinct terms, that he was now satisfied that the case
had been rightly decided by the Court of Session and by the
House of Lords—that the church had gone against the pro-
visions of the statute law of the land, and that the courts had
jurisdiction to restrain that excess of power. We look on
this declaration as of great importance in regard to any peti-
tion to parliament complaining of these judgments as against
the constitution of the church, or to any intention to secede
on that ground.—The Times.

the Scottish Guardian (conservative paper) as " remarkable
for its unpretending good sense and excellent feeling." In
the course of it he made use of the following excellent re-
marks. " Lay up those treasures of knowledge, which every
one who has experience of after life will inform you, that he
who has done so has always found a ready resource in time
of difficulty ; and that he who has failed to do so, has never
failed to regret the opportunities he has lost. But, my young
friends, in pursuing your studies, there is one study which,
permit me to tell you, is the first and foremost of all. Thank
God, in this protestant country we have had placed in our
hands freely to use, as freely as it was given to men, the
' sacred and holy Scriptures. 0 let me entreat you, so long
as the heart is soft, and takes easily the impressions that are
made upon it, to hasten to engrave upon that heart the sa-
cred truths of the Scriptures ; for believe me that in them,
when you come into the world, you will find your best sup-
porters in the time of doubt—your best companion in the
hour of prosperity—your surest comfort should the evil time
of adversity overtake yon, but which I trust you will be all
spared from encountering. (Great applause.)
Tun Bisuor OF CALCUTTA.—The following is an extract
of a letter, dated October 13, 1842, from the Right Rev.
Daniel Wilson, D.D., bishop of Calcutta, addiessed to the
Society for Promoting Christian' Knowledge. The letter,
after giving an account of the proceedings connected with
the erection of the cathedral at Calcutta, thus proceeds :
I imagine to myself a crowded native audience, with a native
choir, assisted by the pealing organ, in some future ay-
chanting `Thou art the King of Glory, 0 CitnisT.' *
I go to visit the dioceses of Madras and Bombay, not for
diocesan business, but to confer, to console, to arrange, to
animate, to plan for the spiritual good of the province, to
settle this branch of our reformed A postolical Church, under
God's blessing, in all its evangelical doctrine, all its primi-
tive and unsophisticated discipline, all its edifying church
order. If it were only to rejoice each other's hearts in
CHRIST JESUS once in five years, the metropolitan visita-
tion would have its adequate object. But I hope much more
may be done in the way of an united plan or plans for the
government of our diocese. I propose staying five Sundays
at Madras (from November 27 to Christmas-day), and four
at Bombay (from the sth to the 26th February), so as to be
back at Calcutta before Easter, 1843—a voyage of seven
months, and 7,500 miles. Then in October, 1843, should
my life be spared, I must prosecute my third north-western

visitation to Agra (which requires a distinct oisnop as much
as New Zealand, or Nova Scotia, or Toronto) for eighteen

months. So that I have renounced the prospect of visiting
you in England once more before I die. No; unless his
grace the archbishop should lay his orders upon me, India is
my scene of duty, delight, and usefulness. The excitement
of a short visit would overset me at my time of life. If I can
but finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have
received of the LORD JESUS, to testify the Gospel of the
grace Of GOD, I shall have enough. Already have Ito bless
Gon for nine years and ten months health in my residence in
this land of disease and death. The climate of England
would, most probably, not suit me—the joy of my family
would break ray heart—the voyages to and fro would exhaust
my remains of strength. I must not, therefore, tempt Gon,
but be content with the intercourse of letters, and the com-
munion of the saints in prayer and intercession. Three years
ago I was bent upon going home, but my feelings have been
subdued, by a sense of duty, gradually since. Where should
a bishop die but in his diocese? * * * * *
And now farewell, my dear old friends and brethren in the
Lortp (I have been a member 42 years.) May GOD bless
you and the venerable society, and prepare us for his hea-
venly kingdom !"

The rumour as to the deficit of £3OO in one of the Irish
Postoffices is untrue. The report is ridiculous as well as
false, as a return is made to head quarters daily, and it would
require that two-thirds of the letters should be paid for in

deficiency.

travelling on a jaunting car, who demanded if he did not
keep " a nursery ?" " Yes," said he. " Well, then, here's
something in your line." Before he could open the door,
his customer had gone off at a slinging trot, and left a nice
little child at the threshold. It, of course, has been set
among the olive plants.

THE HERRING FISHERY.—We rejoice to learn that, not-
withstanding the severity of the weather during 'the past
week, the take of herring progresses, and fish of a very su-
perior quality are still in great abundance along our coast.
On Monday night last, the boats of Mr. Porter, of Narin,
were very successful, as were many others. The fishermen
are in high spirits at the prospect of a remunerating season,
and we trust they will not be disappointed. The herring are
the largest we have seen for many years.—Ball.vshannon

A most influential and important meeting was held on Fri-
day at Radley's great room, in the Commercial-buildings,
Dublin, consisting of a

of Ireland, and anxious to promote the good of the country,
by taking into consideration the working of the poor laws.
A deputation consisting of the Duke of Leinster, the Mar-
quis of Downshire, and other noblemen and gentlemen was
appointed to wait upon the Lord Lieutenant to urge upon
his excellency an immediate and searching inquiry into the
dperation of the poor law.

BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS.-At Bow-street
four warrants, issued some time back on the prosecution of
on Friday, Thomas Patterson was brought up under
Government, charging him with exposing certain blasphe-
mous publications in Holywell-street. Patterson was partly
defended by his counsel, Mr. Thomas, who took some
technical objections that were overruled ; and he partly de-
fended himself, reading professedly for that purpose some
papers which are said to have been outrageously blasphemous,
and they were eventually taken from him. In three of the
cases he was fined 40s. ; and, refusing to pay the fines, was
committed to prison for one month. The fourth case was
postponed till Tuesday.
