What then is our objection to a doctrine that compels us to
trust one another for the validity of ordinances, supposed to
be essential to our salvation? Why, this—that ii degrades the
"supernatural" to a level with the " natural ;" that it reduces
"the grace of God, which bringeth salvation" to an ordinary
"matter of business," rendering a believer's salvation liable to
all the casualties, and uncertainties, and unavoidable dangers
from the mistakes or malice of others, which are " necessarily
incidental" to our temporal affairs in every day life. Nay,
that it places our spiritual interests in even a worse position
than our temporal interests. For, with regard to the latter,
no one has power to injure us by his secret intention, unless he
can carry out that intention to some external act. Nor can
any one injure us in this way without our, sooner or later, be-
coming aware of the injury received. But in the case of a
Romish sacrament, a man may suffer a fatal injury from a mere
act of volition in the priest's mind, without the possibility of
ever discovering the prospective loss lie has sustained, to the
day of his death. Besides, in the former case, there is a mutual
dependency upon one another : while in the latter case it is one
set of persons bring entirely dependent upon another set of
persons, who form an irresponsible close corporation, tilling up
their own vacancies, and keeping. all the power exclusively in
their own hands. Air. St. John indeed differs from the Bishop
of Minori as to the probability of these self appointed lessees of
Christ's Church frequently exercising their assumed power;
nay, he assures us that they would "all feel it to be a horrible
sin to withhold their intention in celebrating the sacrament."
But inasmuch as none of them feel it any sin at all to withhold
even the outward form ofshauuricent for what appears to
them sufficient cause, why they feel it any sin to with.

The probability, however, or otherwise, of any given priest
baying the right intention while conferring any given sacra-
ment, has nothing whatever to do with the main point at issue.
All that can be required to establish the three positions laid
down in my former letter against the Church of Rome is—that
you should admit, Ist, The possibility of a priest's destroybus
the validity of a sacrament by withholding his intention ; and
secondly, The impossibility of any one else knowing whether
he has done so or not. Both of these Mr. St. John distinctly
does admit; and further acknowledges that the "difficulties"
resulting therefrom are " necessarily incidental" to it. What
is this, but to say that my positions are correct; that the three
syllogisms amount to a moral demonstration I I assert that no
one can possibly know when he receives a true sacrament. " Of
course" he cannot, virtually replies Mr. St. John, but be must
"trust" the priest for that I—But we cannot know that he is a
priest,. because that depends, among other things, upon the
intention of the bishop who ordained him, "Of course" you
cannot, says Mr. St. John, but you must "trust" him.—But

WEDNESDAY.—The unfavourable state of the weather
sent the receipts at the door of the Crystal palace down to
£2,438 145., the number of visitors being only 50,599.
Every day is now marked by two features, not the least
striking in the singular diurnal history of the Exhibition.
The first of these is the continued and steady influx of
charity and other schools within and around London, for
the most part promoted by private and even individual be-
nevolence. Nothing can be more gratifying than to meet
so frequently amid the the swelling tide of grown-up spec-
tators bands of young children moving along, and as they
go giving vent to to many au exclamation of juvenile
wonder. There are now half a dozen of these schools
present in the building every day, and the only regret one
feels with regard to them is that amid the bustle and
pressure of so many thousand people their opportunity for
seeing well a sight so instructive is necessarily much con-
curtailed. The other point is hardly less interesting, and
receives an apt illustration in the fact that 150 of the
Duke of Northumberland's people visited the Exhibition
yesterday, having travelled all the way from Alnwick for
that purpose. The great landowners are sending up their
agricultural labours and the great manufacturers their men,
fully impressed with the moral and intellectual influence
which the spectacle is likely to exercise on them. Even
the adult poor of the metropolitan parishes are not for-
gotten, and through the liberality of some wealthy neigh-
bour, many of them are allowed to see the World's Fair.
As for domestic servants, masters must be extremely in-
dulgent to them from the numbers of that class that are
daily seen in the Exhibition. This is all as it should be,
and shows a large amount of practical sympathy and good
feeling between the different ranks of society, between
rich and poor, gentle and simple.
THURSDAY.—Owing to the unfavourable weather, the
receipts at the doors fell to £2,286 ls., the number of
visitors being only 48,458.

FRIDAY.—This being a half-crown day, £2,984 was
taken at the doors, and, according to the police returns;
26,882 persons entered the building.
SATURDAY.—£I,47B was taken at the doors, the num-
ber of visitors, according to the police returns, was 10,399.
With subscriptions, the total incomings of the Royal
Commissioners for the Crystal Palace considerably exceed
already £300,000.

Ever since the opening of the Exhibition the number of
foreigners who have arrived in this country at the various
nutports has been daily transmitted to the Metropolitan
Police Department.
It will be remembered that at one time a contract was
entered into between the Commissioners of the Exhibition
and Messrs. Munday, the latter undertaking to erect the
building, give prizes, and run all risks of its paying, which
the former thought it afterwards advisable to cancel. Mr.
Robert Stephenson. who was elected arbiter between the
parties, has awarded Messrs. Munday the sum of £5,120
for the outlay, anxiety, trouble, and loss they incurred.

From these statements it appears that upwards of ninety-five
per cent. of the whole road is in straight lines, and above
sixty-two per cent, either level, or the grades under five feet
per mile, and nearly seventy per cent. either level, or under ten
feet per mile. The ability of this road to do business cheaply
and efficiently, may therefore be considered as very superior.
The district of country traversed by this road is very similar
to that traversed by the Michigan Central Railroad, from De-
troit to Lake Michigan, both as to the extent of its population
and its general resources for business, which are, like Michigan,
principally agricultural.
The following statement of the local business of the Michigan
Central Railroad from Detroit to Lake Michigan, may serve as
an approximate estimate for the local business of this line, and
it will also show, what is not fully appreciated at the East ; the
rapid development of the agricultural resources of the lake
country.
