NEW CHURCHES IN LONDON.—Abottt eight years ago
the Bishop of London issued his appeal for building fifty
churches in London. Since then nearly the whole fifty
have been consecrat. No further, special .subscription
has been rdquested b'y hi's lordship, and yet it appears,
from the report of the Church Building Commissioners,
that besides those there are twenty-seven new chut (-hes,
four of which are just completed, and the remaining
twenty-three in various stages of progress, in or near the
metropolis only ; and this in addition to all that had been
done in the twenty years preceding. Nor does this pre-
sent a complete view of what is doing. There a e three
churches now building in or near the City Road, and
two are proposed in Islington ; but none of these five find
a place among the above. There may be many others
omitted, in like manner, from various causes. Nur is
this all. Men will hardly tolerate, now, the mean and
cheap sort of building they were contented with ten years
ago. Stone is now becoming, in almost all cases, the
material used. A few years back, £3,000 or £5,000 was
thought a sufficient outlay on a church ;—now £7,000,
£lO,OOO, or even £15,000, is often named as the intended
expense. There is, notwithstanding, little probability,
after all, that the wants of the country will be even mode-
rately supplied. The statistical view of the metropolis,
given by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1836, sta•

THE TRACTARIANS•—ne Warwick Advertiser states
that the Rev. Mr. Bittlestone, curate of the episcopal
chapel at Leamington, has excited the displeasure of the
Bishop of Worcester, by practices inconsistent with the
tenets of the Church of England. Towards the end of
last month, it appears that a young female servant called
upon a clergyman at Leamington, and anxiously inquired
whether he administered the sacrament of absolution.
She was questioned. and then stated that she had attended
the episcopal chapel, and had been induced, by the urgent
exhortations of the curate, Mr. Bittlestone, to go before
him at his lodgings, for the purpose of confessing her sin 3.
He there received her in full clerical attire, and, bidding
her kneel down, put into her hand a little book, entitled
Questions for Self-examination," containing a series of
minute interrogatories upon each of the ten command-
ments, " the seven deadly sins," and " the three great
enemies, the world, the flesh, and the devil." These in-
terrogatories she was directed silently to peruse, and, if
her conscience returned an affirmative answer to any of
them, she was to confess her guilt to him. He also ques-
tioned her whether she had not committed various sins;
and at length, atter reading a number of prayers over her,
formally absolved her. This interview lasted an hour and
ten minutes, and at its termination Mr. Bittlestone en-
joined her to return in a month's time, for a repetition of
this " sacrament of absolution." The girl, however, felt
alarmed at the unusual nature of these directions, and
resolved to consult another clergyman of the established
church upon the subject. The result of her disclosures
was, that an app ication was immediately made to the
Bishop of Worcester. who instituted an investigation into
the affair. As Mr. Bittlestone did not deny the truth of
the girl's statement, the bishop declared that the curate

was descending the shaft after blasting, when a stone
which had been loosened thereby fell upon his head and
broke his neck.
From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on nearly 1,800 mites of railway,
was £178,037, thus accounted for :—£101,909 for the con-
veyance of passengers only, £39 829 for the carriage of

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION TO MOLD —We believe,

prospect of possessing efficient railway accommodation, on
terms that will not be prejudical to any in crest, but will
be acceptable to all. Surveys have been made at the in-

hold our opinions should he ured to join our association,
to give and gain strength by union. They should be ad-
vised to place their names on the register of electors, and
should be assisted in doing so.

5. The weight of public opinion on the conduct of go-
vernment and pailiament should ever be borne in mind.
With this view our voice should be exerted by petition,
and still more through the public press. The latter is the
workshop of legislation. In this we should be constantly
active—playing every lawful tool—working a daily work.
6. Our opinions should be especially concentrated on
the minds of the community in which we live. For this
end such means as we have suggested should be resorted
to. Libraries should be established forthe circulation of
our publications, and others of a similar tendency.
7. These are the main objects to be kept in view ; bow
are they to be effected ?
Let any person desirous to commence the work invite-
three or four clergymen or gentlemen to meet and deter-
mine who should be asked to join. Let each bring a list
of his own, and submit it to the others. Let a day be
fixed for meeting, each inviting those best kown to him-
self. Let that meeting choose a committee, making all
clergymen members ex officio, and select a secretary, re-
membering that on his tact and talent will mainly depend
their ultimate success. _ _

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--On Wednesday morn-
ing, as the six o'clock down train on the Landon and
North Western (late London and Birmingham) line was
stopping just on this side of Watford to take in water, it
was run into by one of the "up-luggage trains, and the loss
of one life is to be reckoned amongst the casualties ac-
cruing from this melancholy catastrophe, while one of the
company's engineers, named Henry Gibbs, had both his
legs crushed, and was otherwise much injured.
LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—
At the first ordinary general meeting of this company, on
Wednesday,—Sir W. Fielder). Bart., in the chair,—the
report which announced the success of the measure, was
unanimously adopted. An extraordinary general meeting
then took place, when it was agreed to sell the line to the
East Lancashire for 26.162 new shares, of the nominal
amount of £25 each, of which £2 10s. shall be considered
to be paid, and 3 838 shares, upon which nothing has been
paid, to be created by and in the East Lancashire, and
that the directots be authorised to perfect deeds and as-
signments to carry such sale into full effect.
LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a lament-
able accident occurred on the North British itailwav, at
Aberdeen. Several arches at the inclined plane had been
octonaplotoa, as.nal the •,,-oor..ctry ..waln.la-n erect iouro to support It
while building were taken away last week ; and arrange-
ments were in progress to proceed with others. A little
before eight o'clock in the morning three of the arches
gave way, burying amongst the stones, bricks, and rub-
bish, a number of the workmen. Measures were instantly
taken to relieve the unfortunate individuals ; but we la-
ment to state that after a tedious and arduous task of up-
wards of an hour, seven were taken out dead, having evi-
dently been killed instantaneously ; four others were got
out, much bruised, of whom two were taken to the Infir-
mary,
and two to their own houses. Two of these have
sines died.
THE NEW RAILWAY TUNNEL.—The directors of the
London and North-Western Railway are about commenc
ing the Victoria Tunnel, from Edge-hill to the Waterloo
Dock, a distance of 2 miles. A spacious station for
goods and cattle will be made between Great Howard-
street and the dock, extending from Stuart-street to the
back of the warehouses fronting Formby-street. There
will also be a goods' station in Hodson-street, behind By-
rom-street, which will be the only opening in the whole
length. A splendid bridge is to be thrown over the rail-
way crossing the Wavertree-road, and also an iron bridge
to carry Great Howard-street over the railway. The
station at Edge-hill will be materially enlarged. When
these extensive works are completed, both passengers,
merchandise, and cattle will be taken from the side of the
dock ; and the great nuisance of driving Irish cattle
through the streets will at once be abated. The whole of
these extensive works have been contracted for by our
spirited townsmen, Messrs. Samuel and James Holme,
and Mr. M'Cormick, the eminent contractor, conjointly,
and the cost of them will be under £lBO,OOO. The bridge
over the railway in Wavertree-road is to be completed in
six months, and the whole work in two years.

The subscription should be fixed low, so as to admit all
classes who are attached to the constitution in Church.
and State, but a separate fund formed by donations from
the higher ranks. The committee should meet monthly,
and communicate the result of their proceedings to the
National Club, which will. in its turn, supply them with
its papers, and with information of general interest;.
they should use every exertion to place upon the registry
such voters as will maintain our Protestant Church in its
truth and integrity, resist the endowment of ltomanism,
oppose all concessions to the Popish priesthood, with-
stand the introduction of a godless, and support a scriptu-
ral education in our schools. But whilst thus attending
to the political, the social objects of the National Club.
must not be forgotten. Let the committee of each as-
s ciation seek to secure for the humbler classes who enter
their ranks all those benefits which they could derive from
joining one of the friendly societies which are so nu-
merous; let them deliver monthly lectures, inducing
clergymen, or laymen of approved character, and cautious
in their selection of facts, to do this;" let them create a
benefit fund, form a register for vacant situations, and
thus bind together the wealthier and more influential
chases with the poor but honest children of toil, who are
equally true to their country and faithful to their Goa.

. _
But to carry through these objects, a central union is
wanted. That union will be furnished by the National
Club. From each local association the National Club
proposes to se'ect one or more influential members, who
will enjoy all its privileges. Thus the different societies
will be brought into common contact, and enabled to
direct all their energies to one common end. If this be
done—and nothing but the will is wanting to do it—when
the vital struggle comes, the nation will be found ready.

which they were placed were precisely such as were calcu-
lated to increase decay, where disease existed, and espe-
cially where the tissue of the tuber was not sufficiently
matured ; but where the potatoes were not put together
in too large heaps, the disease d d not increase. As a fur-
ther proof of this, we may refer to the fact that several
lots of slightly ebsea-ed potatoes, of various kinds, were
put among sand, turf mould, and charcoal, in the Royal
Dublin Society's Botar.ic Garden, and placed in a cellar,
where the air was cool and uniform, with a view of ascer-
taining how long they would keep. They were thus placed
on the 17th of October last year, where they remained
till Thursday, the 17th September, when they were taken
out, and found to be as sound as wben stored, having
produced strong shorts about two inches long, free from
disease. It will be important to ascertain what their future
fate may be, in the conservatory where they have been
placed.
