SECESSION OF THE REV. T. W. ALLIES.—On Sunday
week the Rev. T. W. Allies, Rector of Launton;announced
from the pulpit to his congregation, that he should the next
day resign his benefice. He said, amongst other things,
that " he could not endure the infamy that contradictory
doctrine, even upon the Holy Sacrament of Baptism, was
"4-Pd'ito be taught even by the ministers of the Angli-
and that while they would be told in the
.on, that infants were regenerated by
oly Spirit in Baptism, they would hear just the

yat the Church at Bicester. He would, therefore,
ive them a sermon no more by word, but by deed, in that
he would of his own accord resign his living; teaching them
thereby, that they should follow the truth whithersoever
it might lead them." Mr. Allies was received into the
Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, by the Rev. Dr.
Newman, at St. Wilfred's, near Cheadle. The Rectory
of Lsunton is in the gift of the Bishop of London, and is
valued at £BOO per annum.
COUNTY COURT.—The business of this court was re-

sumed yesterday, before Mr. Ramshay, the judge, who
has been absent in the north of England for some time.
The court was opened at ten o'clock, when about a dozen
gentlemen of the legal profession took their seats ; at the
same time a number of persons who had business in the
lso entered. These parties were detained nearly
an hour by the non-appearance of the judge, who took his
hortly before eleven o'clock. His appearance did

~nfirm the favourable anticipations entertained as to
.4 beneficial results of his Honour's sojourn in the
country. He was, perhaps. less feeble than when he last
presided in the court ; but there was an absence of any
thing like vigour in his bearing. His countenance was as
pallid as ever, and, as he came into the court, he betrayed
much physical debility. The first case called on was
Robert Pritchard v. Matthew Chester. Mr. Wilford,
who appeared for the defendant, pleaded his poverty and
inability to discharge the debt : some three or four friends
had promised to pay it by instalments of !en shillings a
Mended for the complainant,

that he could pay a larger sum. It was finally agreed
that the monthly instalments should be one pound instead
of ten shillings.

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-It appears now, from
further experiments, that where the rupture of the coil
occurred it had rested on a very sharp ridge of rocks, about
a mile from Cape Grinez, so that the leaden weights, hang-
ing pannier-like on either side, in conjunction with the
swaying of the water, caused it to part at that point, while
at another place in shore the shingle from the beach had
the effect of detaching the coil from the leaden conductor,
that carried it up the Cape. The wire in its gutta percha
coating was consequently cut in two places, representing
a remnant of wire, of about 400 yards, which was allowed
to drift away, till it came into the possession of a fisher-
man at Boulogne, who made a demand of 60f. for the in-
jury he alleges it did to his nets. Complaints are made
by the fishermen, both on the English and French ceasts,
that the existence of the wire will interfere with their
deep sea fishing, and that its track over the Varne and
elsewhere is in the way of places most frequented by fish.
It is intended to pay these people an annual rental, and
to establish for their families a philanthropic fund. The
line of wire where it was dislocated is now securely fas-
tened on to the end of a large buoy. Her Majesty's ship
Widgeon, with Captain Bullock, has traversed the rest of
the track, fishing up at intervals the whole of the sunk
wire out of 100 ft. and 150 ft. of water, and laying it down
again, thus proving that it has not drifted, and that there
were no currents to remove it. The promoters of the pro-
ject appear to be fully apprehensive of the inadequacy of
the present arrangements, and all their ingenuity is at
work to be prepared to meet the emergency. Of currents
it may be stated t!--at there is no fear, since it has been
ascertained that at certain fixed fathoms, even in the ra-
pids of the Mississippi or at the Menai, there are none be-
low three or four fathoms, and that at five fathoms there
is calm water. In order to meet all existing or conjec-
tured difficulty, the character of the undertaking, so far as
its n agnitude and solidity are concerned, will now be al-
tered. The electric wire, thin as a lady's staylace in itself
will now be encased either in a 5 or 10-inch cable of the
diameter of those that placed the Britannia tubes in posi-
tion, and these will be submerged by the aid of the enor-
mous weights. The wire will be imbedded in this
gigantic coil or cable composed of what is called whipped
plait with wire rope, all of it chymically prepared, so as to
protect it from rot, and kyanised ; the whole to be chained
down, as it were, as the rails are on a railway, by the
gravitation of the huge weight. is the bottom et the sea.

TO ARCHDEACON MANNING, ARCHDEACON

WILBERFORM AND' PROFESSOR MILL.

VENERABLE AND REVEREND &RS,

I have received by the post a Circular bearing your sig-
natures, and enclosing a Declaration similarly signed,
touching the Royal supremacy in matters ecclesiastical.
I perceive you do not invite any reply, except from those
who are disposed to join you in affixing their names to
the Declaration ; but you can scarcely expect to issue
indiscriminately an agitating Circular, and receive no re-
plies but such as are altogether to your taste ; neither
have you any just reason to complain, if some of your
brethren who widely differ from you upon the subject
under discussion, but who (as the Archbishop of Canter.
bury has recently remarked) have hitherto observed a
respectful silence, should send such answers to your Cir-
cular as may tend, under the Divine blessing, to disabuse
the minds of many who have unwarily gone with you so
far, and perhaps to cause yourselves to reconsider the
case, and discover how untenable is your present posi-
tion.

First, you describe yourselves as among those who are
" bound by oath and subscription to the existing state of
the law."

Second, you affirm that it is now made evident by the
late Appeal, that " the Royal supremacy, as defined and
established by statute law, invests the Crown with a power
of hearing and deciding in appeal all matters, howsoever
purely spiritual, both in discipline and doctrine."
Third, you pronounce that " to give such power to the
Crown is at variance with the divine office of the Univer-
sal Church, as prescribed by the law of Christ."
Here it would seem to unsophisticated straightforward
minds, that your plain and obvious duty is, either to
accept as right what is thus proved, as you say, to be
" the existing state of the law"; or to withdraw your
oath and subscription, and retire from an institution
which is thus proved to be, in your deliberate judgment,
at variance with the divine office of the Universal Church
as prescribed by the law of Christ.

To adopt the former course, would be to give up all
further agitation, and betake yourselves to the peaceful
discharge of your respective duties.

To adopt the latter course, would be to show yourselves
sincere (however mistaken) in giving to your conscience
that practical supremacy which you deny to your Sove.
