THE LIVERPOOL STAND4►RD.

IMPORTANT TO MARKET PEOPLE.—The collector of
St. John's Market summoned a man named James
Shaveland, on Thursday, for having taken possession of a
stand not rented by him. The defendant's plea was, that
it was customary on busy days for parties not tenants to
expose their wares in the market ; he had done so fre-
quently, always paying a fee to the collector or other offi-
cer of the market. The collector refuted this statement,
and Shaveland was fined ss.

MAGNETIC AND MESMERIC EXPERIMENTS.—At the
second meeting of the Liverpool Literary and Philoso-
phical society, held on Monday night last, an interesting
paper was read by Dr. Brett, describing certain mag-
netic and mesmeric experiments of the Baron Von
Riechenbach, which gave rise to a discus4on, in which
Dr. Trench took a principal part, on the degree of confi-
dence due to the alleged results of such experiments,
even when made by honourable and intelligent ex-
perimenters.

THEWALLASEY COMMISSIONERS —The usual monthly
meeting was held at Liscard on Thursday evening, H.
Winch, Esq., in the chair. The proceedings of th Fi-
nance Committee referred to a meeting which had been
convened by the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners, rela-
tive to the construction of the sea-wall on the north side
of the pool, and the necessity of raising funds from the
landowners and others for carrying the work into execu-
tion. If a sufficient sum were not advanced for the pur-
pose, it had been intimated that the Dock Commissioners
would apply to Parliament to confine their operations to
the south side of the pool. A meeting of the landowners
is to be held at Wallasey, to consider the subject, and
the Law-clerk was instructed to attend. The same com-
mittee recommend that a rate of Is. 3d. in the pound be
laid for the ensuing year, which would raise £2000; and
this would be required. After two amendments, it was
finally agreed that the rate should be ls. With that al-
teration, the committee's proceedings were confirmed.—
A letter from Mr. Armistead, offering an annual pay-
ment in lieu of the rent-charge for Dr. Byrth, was re-
ferred to the Finance Committee. There was no other
business of general importance.
DOCK COMMITTEE, THURSDAY.—The Sub-Committee
of Works recommended that the floor of the silk-room at
the Albert Dock warehouses should be covered with coil
matting instead of boards; but the decision was deferred
for a week, in order to take the opinion of a practical per-
son on the subject.—A letter was read from Captain Bevis,
on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting the
committee to pay £35, the expenses incurred in taking one
of her Majesty's vessels out of the Coburg Dock and re-
tiocking her, notice having been given of the intention to
run the Dock dry. The committee having no power to
return the money, an answer to that effect was ordered to
be sent.—A-converinstion arose respecting the positiOft in
which the committee stood with respect to giving notice
to Parliament for taking powers under the late act, to
erect warehouses round any of the docks. By the late
act, it was incumbent on them to go for powers, whether
they used them or not. The Chairman said that Satur-
day would be the last day to give notice, but that it was
not incumbent to go to Parliament this year. After some
conversation, it was determined not to go to Parliament
during the ensuing session. Mr. Aikin—lt is imperative
to go within two years, but I suppose there will be no ex-
pense or harm in giving notice. It might be given under
any circumstance. The Chairman—You will have other
matters in the year following, and you will not accelerate
it by giving notice this year. It will increase the expense
without accelerating the question one day, because you
have more work to go on with than you can do before you
arrive at a position when you require fresh powers, unless
you build on such a dock as the Prince's. Mr. Aikin—
That would be the place of all others.
CAUTION TO PRIVATE HOTEL OR BOARDING-HOUSE
KEEPERS.—At our Police-court, on Friday, an excise in-
formation was preferred against Mrs. Elizabeth Waddell.
who keeps !a very respectable private hotel, at No. 10,
Queen-square, for selling excisable liquors without a
license. Excise-officers Charles Smith and John Pugh
proved that, on the Ist of September last, they went to
the defendant's house, and had, the one a mutton chop,
a small bottle of porter, and a glass of sherry wine, and
the other tea and a small glass of brandy and water. In
the bills which were afterwards presented, the porter was
put down at 6d., the sherry at 9d., and the brandy at 9d. ;

but, ,opposite to each of these items, the word " paid“
was written ; they, nevertheless, paid the full amount of
their respective bills, and then left the premises. During
the time Smith was in the house, Pugh waited outside,
and saw that no person was sent out for the porter and
sherry supplied to him. When Smith came out, Pugh
went into the house, and Smith watched and observed that
no one fetched anything into the house in the way of
liquor while he was there. For the defence, it was urged
that in the morning of the day named, a gentleman from
Manchester, who had been in the habit of stopping at the
house while in Liverpool, called and requested that some
wine, brandy, porter, soda water &c., should be sent for
for him, saying that lie would be in again shortly to din-
ner. He left 2s. 6d. to pay for the liquors, and they were
obtained. Mrs. Waddell, being a lady of delicate health,
which renders it necessary that she should lie down a
great deal, then retired to her chamber, and instructed
her servant that a gentleman would call soon, abd that he
was to be supplied with these liquors when he called for
them. The excise officers called shortly after, and the
girl, under the idea that oie of them was the person her
mistress alluded to. supplied them with what they called
for in the manner described.—Mr. Rushton decided that
the excuse was of no avail; the law required that the de-
fendant should prove she had been paid by these officers
for the liquors previous to their being supplied to them,
and that those liquors were, at the time, sent for from
some public-house in the neighbourhood.—The servant
said that such had always been the custom, and a little
girl, nine years old, grand-daughter to the defendant,
stated the same thing.—Mr. Rushton then said that he
would mitigate the penalties to one-fourth, which would
be £l2 10s. for selling the wine, £l2 10s. for selling the
brandy. and £5 for selling the porter—in all, £3O.
SELECT VESTRY.—At the usual fortnightly meeting"
on Tuesday, (the Rev. Rector Campbell in the chair,)
Mr. Riding reported having taken a House of Recovery
in Soho-street, at the rent of £5O per annum. The
Workhouse Committee recommended an immediate al-
teration in the system of weighing, or rather guessing at
the weight of, medicines, the scales being filthy and out
of order. They also recommended that both the surgeons
be accommodated in the house with apartments and suit-
able furniture. They further reported, that Catherine
Comerford had been brought into the house in the custody
of a police-constable—that she was delivered of a child in
the Lying-in Hospital, and that the officer obtruded him-
self into the hospital, and it was some time, upon being
remonstrated with, before be was induced to withdraw.
The committee resolved that this was highly improper
conduct, and that no policeman should in future toe ad-
mitted for the purpose of watching and guarding an in-
mate.—Mr. Ferguson stated the circumstances that led
to the committee to adopt this resolution. The police-
man was constantly in the habit of intruding himself into
the ward, which ought not to be allowed. The present
system also frequently brought the committee into colli-
sion with the police and the magistrates, and not only
brought themselves into collision, but it also brought
those who were under their control. The governor (Mr.
Evans) for instance, bad been requested to attend at the
police-court, and give evidence in the case of Comerford.
The committee finally agreed that be should go for that
purpose, and be did go, when Mr. Rushton took it upon
himself to rebuke the governor--to say that the governor
had acted harshly and cruelly towards Comerford, and to
hold him up to the obloquy and ridicule of the court.
This should not have been the case. It could not
strengthen the bands of the governor; it could not do any
possible good. The proper way for Mr. Rushton to have
acted would be to report to the Select Vestry—to address
a letter to the Rev. Rector Campbell, as the chairman of
the Vestry, on the subject, and then, if any charge was
brought against the officer, let it be investigated by the
committee.—Mr. Riding agreed with Mr. Ferguson as to
the impropriety of admitting policemen in charge of cul-
prits into the house, and particularly into the lying-in

.ward.—Mr. Bright observed that the magistrates had no

more power, no more control, and no mare right to in-
terfere with the power of the governor than they had to
interfere with any gentleman in the management of his
own private house. He considered it a very inconvenient
course to take prisoners to the house, particularly as there
were bridewells in the town. The workhouse ought not
to be made into a prison.—Mr. Thornley moved a resolu-
tion to the effect that, without entering upon the question
of the right of the stipendiary magistrate to reprimand
the governor in the case alluded to, the board yet was of
opinion that all charges against its officers should be re-
ferred to the board for previous investigation; and that
while they disapproved of the language used by the gover-
nor to Comerford, whose treatment had not been found
fault with, they were of opinion, after long experience of
his conduct, that inhumanity or cruelty could not be laid
to his charge.—Mr. Avison and Mr. Earle concurred
that Mr. Rushton acted humanely in his administration

of the law- The motion wee seconded by Mr. Riding,
and carried; the only two that voted against it being Mr.
Avison and Mr. Chesney. It was then understood that
culprits would be received into the house in future as
paupers, but that admission would be refused to police-
officers.

THE MODEL OF ANCIENT JERUSALEM, AT THE LIVER
THEATRE.—This beautiful and highly illustrative work
of art will be removed from this town after Friday next.
Meanwhile, in order to allow visitors an opportunity of
inspecting it to greater advantage, it has been removed to
the Liver Theatre, where it will be exhibited throughout
this and the four ensuing days. The numerous, learned,
and influential personages, including many of the clergy,
who have visited the model since it was first introduced
into this town, have borne the strongest testimony to the
learning, research, historical exactness, and ingenuity of
Mr. Brunetti, to the excellence of his model as a work of
art, and to its high value as an aid to the mind in the
study of the Scriptures and of concurrent history. No
doubt there are thousands in Liverpool who have deter-
mined to view the model previous to its removal. In
order to fulfil this resolution they must visit the Liver
Theatre this week. If they should fail, we can assure
them the omission will be one worthy of deep regret.
We refer our readers to the advertisement of Messrs.
Wardle and Co., who have opened a wholesale and re-
tail earthenware establishment in Pitt-street. Their stock
is of the most chaste description, and contains many new
and beautiful specimens of 'British manufacture in china
and coloured glass. To exporters as well as families, it
is certainly worthy of inspection.
HOLLOWAY'S PiLLs.—The following extraordinary
case cannot be made too public :—George Wright, of
High-street, Vauxhall, well-known at Hill's Potteries,
Vauxhall-walk, where he formerly worked during ten
years, but for the last five his health has been so bad that
he could do nothing, being greatly emaciated, suffering
from a diseased liver, and also the dropsy, besides an af-
fection of the spine. He was in the hospital at Winches-
ter for five months, and afterwards in Westminster Hos-
pital for three months longer. To sum up—from almost
a dying state, he has been restored to such comparative
health and vigour, in the short space of five weeks, as to
astonish all who knew him ; and this by Holloway'. Pills.

LAUNCH OF THE SERAPHINA

On Tuesday morning last, the Seraphina, an admirably
modelled clipper craft, that has recently been completed,
was launched from the building yard of Mr. Thomas Roy-
den, in Baffin-street.
The Seraphina is, we may say without hesitation, one
of the sharpest vessels ever built in this port; and having
long been the subject of conversation and admiration
amongst the leading nautical men, her launch excited the
greatest attention.
In model she is deemed faultless. She has fine lines—
a clean entrance, and an admirably longand uninterrupted
run, with, considering her beam. a flatness of flooring
that will render her sufficiently stiff to carry a heavy press
of canvas. Her side is round as an apple, and carrying
her beam aloft well aft, she has a roomy deck and poop.
A. beautifully-carved figure-head adorns the stem and
the trail-boards, head boards, and stern are decorated
with richly-relieved foliage work, surrounding, on the
hitter, the Brazilian arms. From the water line to the
gunwall, she is painted royal blue, which is divided at the
bends by a burnished gold stripe. She will be rigged, we
learn, as a "jackass" ship, so that she will carry, in addi-
tion to the usual canvas of a barque, squaretopsails on her
mizen mast.
Shortly before eleven o'clock, the orders having been
given, the daggers were removed, and the Seraphina, after
receiving her title from Miss Cotesworth, moved slowly
but steadily to the unruffLtel bosom of the Mersey, while
Jolliffe's band, which was in attendance, played "Off she
goes."
By many it was expected from her peculiar sharpness
she would be liable to roll, but on reaching the water she
presented a stately steadiness that drew forth the renewed
ejaculations of the assembled multitude. And we cannot
withhold. expressing a wish that the expectations of her
enterprising owners, Messrs. Cotesworth, Wynne, and
Lyne, may be fully verified—that she may surpass her
competitors, the Swordfish and Columbus, the fastest
vessels afloat.
The Seraphina is most faithfully put together—her tim-
bers and planking being all of the choicest kinds, and her
Inking is wholly of copper. She is 118 feet long, has a
breadth of beam of 271 feet, and her depth of hold is about
17 feet. Her tonnage, by old measurement, is 334 tons,
and by new, 299. She is intended to form one of a rapid
sailing line of packets between this port and the Brazils,
and she will be placed under the command of Captain
Taylor, late of the Priscilla. _

After the launching, the company, upwards of 200, ad-
journed to the model room, where a sumptuous repast bad
been spread, under the superintendence. of Mr. Towers, of
the Angel Hotel. Amongst those assembled were Charles
•ernetrircri,brailmr,....4-4.4r-r-fritan tesvrort tr and party;
Robert Wynn, Esq.. and party; J. Bramley-Moore,
Esq. • Capt. Bell, R.N., and party ; J. E. Naylor, Esq. ;
Win:Armstrong, Esq., and lady ; Wm. Imries. Esq., and
lady; J. M. Bragu, Esq., Vice-Consul for Brazil, and
lady; J. Pennington, Esq.; Mrs. Miller, Chas. Miller,
Esq., and party; James Ryder, Esq., lady, and Miss
Ryder ; Thomas Mellor, Esq. ; Carruthers Johnstone, of
Pernambuco; Augustus S. Corbett, Esq., and lady;
Andrew Comber, Esq., and family, of Bahia ; Miss Com-
ber, Sandon-terraee ; Robert Singlehurat, Esq. ; James
Duncan, Esq., and Miss Duncan; J. P. Logan, Esq. ;
Captain Taylor and party; Thomas Royden, Esq., and
family, &c., &c. Mr. Cotesworth occupied the chair,
and Mr. Wynne the vice-chair; and they were supported
on the right at the heads of the several tables by Mr.
Royden, Capt. Taylor, and Mr. Lyne, and on the left by
J. B. Moore, Esq., J. Ryder, Esq., and —Johnson, Esq.,
son of one of the owners. After the cloth had been re-
moved, and the health of the Queen drunk with the usual
loyalty,
The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the ladies. He gave
it thus early, he said, because however successful our
trade, without the ladies to enjoy it with us, and without
their sympathy when we were unsuccessful, there could be
no happiness. He coupled the toast with the name of the
lady of Mr. J. Bramley-Moore, after whom the vessel was
named.

Mr. MOORE replied.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN then gave " The Town and
Trade of Liverpool," connecting with it the Chairman of
the Dock Committee, which was most enthusiastically
drunk.
Mr. MOORE, in reply, said that the town and trade of
Liverpool was a subject in which be was at home. It had
been, and ever should be, his desire to promote the exten-
sion of the town and trade of Liverpool, and he hoped not
only the docks now in progress, but many more, would be
required. He would state an interesting fact. When all
the gigantic undertakings which had now been embarked
in by the Dock Committee—when the whole of the works
were completed which are now in progress and in con-
templation, we would then find ourselves in the same re-
lative position, as to acreage and tonnage, as we were in
1816 ; therefore, assuming that the tonnage remained
stationary, we should, when those works were completed,
still require further accommodation. He hoped the mag-
nificent vessel launched that day would only be a precursor
of others of the same class (sharp built), which, he was sorry
to say, had been too little cultivated by the ship-builders
of Liverpool. As Mr. Royden bad remarked, "He bad
never had a chance of building a flyer before." Fe con-
eluded by proposing the health of Don Pedro the Second,
Emperor of Brazil.
MR. BRAGA, the Brazilian vice-consul at this port, in a
neat speech returned thanks. Those who were interested
in the Brazil trade, and knew something of Brazilian po-
litics. would agree with him that there was great credit
due to the Emperor of the Brazils, inasmuch as, unlike
other South American governors, he had been able to pre-
serve peace and order in the country ; and where peace
and order were, there the enterprise of the merchant was
promoted and the industry of the manufacturer met with
its reward. He was happy to see that the trade between
England and the Brazils was likely to be increased—thanks

" Success to the Seraphina" was then drunk with three
times three. _ _

Mr. JOHNSTON, son of one of the owners returned
thanks.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of Mr. Roy-
den, the builder, said that thirty or forty years back the
wooden walls of old England were highly prized, and
men were rewarded who built fine ships; indeed, the im-
prover of naval architecture was considered a benefactor
to his country. He thought the same thing ought to be
done now ; and he could not do less than state, that in
this vessel Mr. Royden had, he thought, hit the happy
medium, applying strength where strength was required ;
and ligttness where that qualification wus requisite.
After passing a high eulogium upon Mr. J. Jones, the
yard foreman, the toast was drunk with three times there,
and Kentish fire.
Mr. ROYDEN said it was the happiest day of his life,
and he hoped that the owner would be satisfied with the
new vessel's performance; and, as he had an opportu•
nity, he would thank the owners for allowing him to
build such a vessel. He had been in business forty years.
and it was the first time he had bad an opportunity of
building a clipper.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN acknowledged the honour; and
the health of Miss Coteswortb, the sponsor of the vessel,
was drunk amid loud cheering.
The CHAIRMAN, on behalf of his daught2r, returned
thanks; taking occasion to remark that the shipowners
should endeavour, by every means in their power, to raise
the character of the men whom they employ. A ship
should have the same comfort and accommodation for the
sailors as if they were at home.
Mr. COMBER proposed the health of Captain Taylor,
who returned thanks.
The last toast was, " The Merchants in the Brazil
trade," after which the company separated highly pleased
with the enjoyments of the occasion.
The band played merrily during the repast.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION
ADJOURNED PROCEEDINGS.

On Tuesday the elections for Scotland and South Tox-
teth wards took place. At the close of the poll the fol-
lowing were the results. In

SCOTLAND WARD

Mr. James Holme (c)....,
Mr. William Thornhill (a)

Majority for Mr. Holme

After the poll had closed, the Chairman of the Com-
mittee for conducting Mr. Holme's election announced
to the assemblage that that gentleman had been elected
by a majority of eight votes. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. JAMES HOLME then appeared, amongst the most
deafening plaudits. He said that a few days ago he had
addressed them as a candidate, but he had now the grati-
fication of addressing them as their representative, by a
majority of eight over his old and respected friend.
There were many measures for the improvement of the
town to be brought before the Council, and each that was
conducive to their wants should have his fervent support,
and he fancied he was able, 'practically, to give them an
attention that would quite equal to that bestowed upon
them by their previous representative. He confessed an
ignorance of the sanatory condition of the ward, but the
canvass of it had shown him the neglected state of it. It
had shown him into streets, at the north end of the ward,
that were disgraceful to a body, powerful and influential
as the Corporation of Liverpool, but he trusted that at the
close of the ensuing three years (being unable, from fa-
tigue during the dai, to detail fully his professions) his
conduct would be such, should he be spared his health
and strength, as would enable him again to meet their
approbation on a similar occasion. (Loud cheers.)
Mr.,I3ENNErr, the Conservative member for St. Anne's
Ward, having been seen at the window, was then loudly
called for. He briefly, but pithily, addressed the bur-
gesses, congratulating them on the representative they
had chosen—a man who had every desire to improve
the moral and social condition of the town—(cheers);
and he trusted, by the efforts of such men, ere the three
years had expired, we should find wide and roomy streets
running north and south, east and west, cutting through
those pestilential districts now in existence. (Hear.)
The habitations of the working classes, too, should be
under the surveillance of the town, and the comfort of
the inhabitants should be as much studied as the rate of
interest to be derived by the builder (cheers). Touchieg
on the water and other popular questions, be concluded
amidst loud applause.

SOUTH TOXTETH WARD,

BATHS, CASES-STREET AND GREAT GEORGE-PLACE.
These establishments, under the able control of Mr. Bird,
have long enjoyed the public confidence, and very justly
so, as be has spared no pains or expense to render them
comfortable to visitors; to those residing in their more
immediate vicinity they must be a great acquisition.

RECENT CASE OF PROSELYTISM AND JE-
SUITISM AT CAMBRIDGE.

We gave last week the particulars, so far as they had
then transpired, of this scandalous case. As we have
something to add, however, we give briefly an outline of
the main facts, in order to make those which have since
transpired more intelligible. A youth, at the usual age,

came' to Cambridge, and was placed under the'
tutorship of the Rev. F. Paley, a resident M.A. ; and
after a short time, during which he had been reading with
that gentleman, and it is admitted that the controversy at
present going on amongst churchmen, as to their position
with respect to the Church of Rome, had been frequently
discussed between them,—and when moreover the youth's
mind was known by him to be strongly inclined to Roman-
ism, he was introduced by Mr. Paley to the society of a
Romish Bisbop and several priests, by whom he was ulti-
mately perverted, and embraced the Romish tenets, without
pausing to consult any member of his family. These facts

the young man, in the absence of his flther, then on his
return from India; and the defence set up by Mr. Paley
is, that the mind of his charge was fully indoctrinated in
Romanism when he came to him ; and that, although
he admits that his introduction in such a state to the
Romish Bishop, Dr. Wareing, was " extremely wrong
and grossly indiscreet," he endeavoured, when his re-
solve to join the Romish Church was fully determined

upon, to prevent his taking such a step at that
time, as being " precipitate, unfortunate and inju-
dicious ; " thus clearly admitting that there was more
honesty in the young man, though less of discretion, than
in the elder tutor. It is added, in explanation of the un-
fortunate precipitation above referred to, that the convert
was offered by the bishop a dispensation to appear as a
protestant, in order to deceive his mother until his
father's arrival in England.
Mr Paley, and some of his friends of similar character
and holding, no doubt, the same disguised views as to
Romanist!), although clinging to the pay of the Church of
England, and to the opportunity of perversion which their
position in the University affords them, have attempted to
ward from themselves the odium and exposure brought
upon them by the hasty rashness of their young Neophite.
In doing so, happily, they have only further revealed, in
darker and stranger colours, their own iniquitous prac-
tices. As a corroboration of the assertion of Mr. Paley,
that his pupil was already a Romanist in all but the name,
when first placed under his charge, a gentleman, who
signs himself Scott Nasmythe Jones, and dates from Bir-
mingham, writes :

"My dear Paley.—The unfair use made of your letter to * *
induces me to trouble you with a line on the subject of Morris's
Mr. John Morris, your pupil. a few days before he left Eng-
land, assured mein the presence of Mrs. Stokes. her sister, and
my brother James. that you had no hand in his conversion a but
that he had been made a Catholic by the teaching of * * * *
with whom he had lived for three years before coming to Tri-
nity."

The attempt here made is to throw the onus of Mr.
Morris's perversion upon the teaching of the Rev. Mr.
Alford, the gentleman with whom he had been a pupil
before going to Trinity ; and the letter, said to be an
"unsolicited " one, is produced by Paley, as sufficient to
satisfy any reasonable person that he was not in the least
degree connected with Mr. John Morris's secesssion to
the Church of Rome. This is what Mr. Paley says to the
public, in a letter to the Cambridge Chronicle, dated no
later than the 29th ult. To an honest mind there can
only be one interpretation put upon it, viz., that he had
had no part bringing about not only the mere act of se-
cession, but the perversion of opinion which led to such
act. A Jesuit, however. may shuffle out of the assertion.
But, mark how the statement of his friend Stokes, so con-
fidently put forward, and his comment upon it for the
public, are contradicted by his own private statement to
Mr. Alford, by whose teaching Morris was said to have
been ready perverted to his bands! Writing to this gen-
tleman, he says : ,

" This is the whole and the exact state of the case. Ido not
think you will acquit me of my share in tl.e business, and that
is exactly why I write, that I may acquit you, and you may be
enabled to represent the matter rightly, either publicly or pri
vately, us you may think fit.

Clearly, then, the pupil did not come to Trinity enter-
taining Romish views, as represented by Mr. Paley ; and,
as clearly, he was led to those views by the Romish teach-
ing of a resident tutor of a protestant college
The charge against the Romigh Bishop, Wareing, with
respect to the dispensation, is thus dealt with by that per-
sonage in a letter to the London Times:—
"Sir,—For the satisfaction of your correspondent "Catholic,"
whose letter appeared in The Times of Wednesday last, I hereby
contradict the "malicious report" to which he refers.—that I
countenanced an iodieidual professing one religion. and being at
the same time of another, for the sake if deception.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
W. WAREING."
Northampton, Oct. 31.

A. very raw student of Jesuit logic could readily explain
away this denial of the charge brought against the episco-
pal doctor. Mr. Paley himself shall show us how it can
be done, and how little value is to be attached to the
bishop's denial. In a postscript to his letter of the 29th
ultimo, he says :

"It is utterly untrue that Dr. Wareing proffered the dispensa-
tion allured to in The Times in the sense there specified. The
Bishop acted solely with a view to save, as far as possible, the
feelings of a mother, by avoiding a sudden shock.''

The original statement was that the dispensation " was I
proffered," to enable the youth to continue a professing
protestant—to reside in a protestant college, attend
lectures, &c., although in heart and fact a papist, for the
purpose of keeping his mother in the dark as to his real
state. The bishop says he did not countenance such con-
cealment " for the sake of deception." Paley says it is
" utterly false" that the dispensation " was proffered in
the sense specified" in the Times, viz., to deceive his
mother. "The bishop acted"—he says—" solely with a
view to save, as,far as possible, the feelings of a mother
by a sudden shock."
