ae Morning Chronicle , after quoting the follow-

teacher both thinks and speaks the truth, except when consi-
-tion is necessary ; and then, as a physician for the good
he will be false, or utter a falsehood, as the
ay, makes the following statement :—" It is
Known in Oxford that a proposal has been made to a Trac-
tarian clergyman in Leicestershire to join the Church of
Rome, and yet retain his living, outwardly conforming to
the Church of England, and that `tot should never be
known.' " The proposal, lam happy say, was rejected
with horror ; but there is no doubt whatever that such a
proposal has been made.
IMPORTANT PRESBYTERIAN CASE.—From the report of
the case, Anderson v. Watson, decided on Thursday in the
Exchequer, it appears that the long-contested question
between the Trinitarians and the Unitarians in the Presby-
terian Church in Ireland is now finally at rest. The court
in future will give costs against any party, who, after the
recent decision in the Hewley case by the House of Lords,
and the late luminous judgment in the Strand-street case by
Lord Chancellor Sugden, shall venture to defend similar
suits again. This money and these meeting-houses were
originally given to promote the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ. They have been perverted to promote a false gospel.
They are now redeemed and restored to the original design
of the donors by the law of the land.—Dublin Sttesman.
REGIUS PROFESSORSHIP or DIVINITY.—The resigna-
tion by the Very Rev. Dr. Turton, Dean of Westminster, of
the office of Regius Professor of Divinity, has been received,
and was read to the Senate yesterday. The examination of
,
tes for the vacant professorship will take place on
`, the lith instant, at the schools. We under-
- rollowing divines have offered themselves as candi-

PEWS IN CIIIIRCIIES.—The objeCt of Prates
to the house of God, is not only to join in the
but likewise to hear the Scriptures explained,
lasting Gospel preached. If these services are perform...
an appropriate manner, about two hours of a morning, and
an hour and a half in the afternoon or evening, will
be
cupied in the sacred exercises. We are composed of odyoc-
, as
well as spirit, and that the Divine service, in all its parts,
may be begun, continued, and ended aright, a moderate de-
gree of comfort ought to be provided for all the worshipers,
according to what is considered comfort in the different
situations in which they are placed in life. Obviously,. the
respectable and pious occupier of a cottage has no such idea
of comfort and convenience as the man in a higher sphere of
life; and what would ho -

would overlook it.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—At the monthly
meeting of the committee, held on Thursday, the sth Jan.,
one grant of £5O to meet £5O for a curate, was voted, with
the expectation that nearly the whole sum paid by the society
would be returned by local contributions ; and one grant of

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH :MIDLAND RAIL-
WAY.—We record with regret that a collision took place -
tbe North Midland Railway, near the Barnsley Static».
which has resulted in the loss of one human life. It appears
that the first morning passenger train from Leeds arrived at
the Barnsley station a little after seven o'clock, and whilst
the usual changes of passengers and luggage was takin
place, a ponderous luggage train of considerable length a
rived from Leeds and ran Into the passenger train. "
crash was terrific, and the whole of the carriaff
standing train were broken to pieces, viz.;
second, and and 1 third. A gentleman who was in a
class carriage was killed, one-half of his head being i.
pletely taken off, and his body hurled a considerable distant
The name of the unfortunate gentleman was Mr. M. Cutler,
at least such was the name written in his hat, and we have
learnt that he travelled for the respectable firm of Messrs
Tinley and McCleve, of Glasgow, in the lace trade. T'

than X3OOO.

PARENTAL NEGLECT.—On Thursday last, an inquest was
held at Wribben-hall, near Worcester, on view of the infant
daughter of William and Mary Cooke, both of whom, it
appeared, were labouring under insanity. The surgeon de-
posed that the child died ultimately from disease of the lungs!

but he stated that, when called to attend it, he found.;riat
the large bone of the right leg had been broken at some dis-
tant time, and it appeared as though it had united again of
its own accord, without surgical assistance. The bones of
the arms were also bent from the ricketts. Mrs. Peach, who
lived a short distance from the parents of the deceased child,
deposed that they had been in the habit of going out, and
leaving the child at home, on one of which occasions she
went and saw the child lying in bed on its face, and being in
a dirty state. Witness knew of the child having a broken
leg, and bad called the attention of the mother thereto; but
she seemed to know nothing about it, and replied " If it was
go, it must have been done by her husband throwing it out
of bed !" She also said afterwards that it arose from weak-
ness. The child was then taken to Mr. Johnson, a surgeon,
but he could do nothing with it, as the leg had then knitted
together. This witness referred to numerous acts of un-
kindness which the poor child bad at various times expe-
rienced from its parents, and two other neighbours deposed
to the same effect. The jury returned their verdict as fol-
lows :—" That the deceased died by the visitation of God,
but that her death was hastened by the ill treatment of her
parents, who, in our opinion, are insane, and unfit to have
the care of their children."
EXTRAORDINARY DEPRAVITY. Never, perhaps, was

;cane of human wickedne

than in the following, which occurred at our ilcirciugh Ses
sions last week :—A woman, named Elizabeth Powers, toge
ther with her daughter Emma, was tried for stealing a coun
terpane from the shop-door of Mr. Laing, draper, of High
street. They had both been previously convicted. Whei
called upon for her defence, the girl stated that she had beet
brought up to thieving from her childhood, that her fathe
was too idle to work, and that she was compelled to rob tc
support the family. The Deputy Recorder, in passing sen
tence, commented on the enormity of the mother's guilt, an(
sentenced her to ten years', and the daughter to seven years

they constituted part of a wreck.—Limerick Chronicle.
