Fielding Ould delivered a very solemn and impressive
dress to the pupils of Dr. Fisher's educational establish-
ment, on the " incalculable value of time," especially to
the young, as rational, immortal, and accountable beings
in the sight of God.

The Bishop of London has directed the Archdeacons
of London and Middlesex to visit all the churche nd

chapels in which it is alleged that Romish ceremonies are
practised, and to report to him every case in which any
ceremonies or forms are used, not authorised by the rubric,
nor sanctioned by established custom.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE -REV .PANTOMIME.—The
" Visions Aeriennes," which was to have been produced
last night at the Theatre Royal, was unavoidably postponed
owing to the machinery, which is very complicated and
stupendous, not having arrived in time. It is proposed,
however, to place the piece on the stage this evening.
It is predicted that the Privy Council of next Thursday
will determine on a further prorogation of Parliament
until the first week in February—nearly two months from
the present time ! With every desire to act with fairness
towards the Ministry, we must admit that this resolve, if
taken, will afford great reason for suspecting the truth
and sincerity of Lord John Russell's intentions.
Dr. Cumming made a long speech at the Oxford meet-
ing of the Bible Society on Wednesday, and most of the
speakers, among whom was the Rev. J. Jordan, recog-
nised the doctor as a Christian brother. Much uproar
took place in consequence, and during Dr. Cumming's
address, which was a very able one, many interruptions
took place. Though a Scotchman, he announced himself
as` belonging to a church which was one with the Church
of England in all the essentials of the Christian faith.
CHRISTMAS PASTIMES.—As Christmas a pproaches with
rapid strides, Mr. Colles's amusing novelties become more
and more in demand every day. Those who 'wish to
amuse their families and friends during the winter eve-
nings should make Mr. C. an early call, as his stock
of first-rate deceptions is sometimes very low, and those
wishing to procure them are obliged to order. With the
exception of the bon-bon boxes and the vase of ink trick,
we understand all his best tricks may now be had. Those,
likewise, who wish to engage Mr. C. for their evening
parties should make an early application, as although, we
believe, he bas attended two parties on the same evening,
we understand. that it is not his intention to do so this
winter, and of course at the approaching season of mirth
and gladness there is no doubt but tliat his services will
full requisition.
