R. S. Maxwell. Esq.. Nigh Sheriff of Cay.an, has de-
clinyd to call a publ c ruretiog to forward tie interests of
the proposed Dublin aucl Cavan Railway, and has given
the following unusual but conscientious reason for his
refusal. Ile says, "My objection is entirely of a religious

nature, and amounts, in a word, to this, that a vasTt
iu-
creaee in the desecration of the Lord's Day must neces-
sarily result from . the establishment cf the Dubli❑ and
Cavan Railway, unless it be intended (and I take it for
granted it is not) to conduct it on a wholly different princi-
ple from that .which regulates every other railway. By
giving my name, or conttibuting my aid in any way to the
object in question, I cniceive that I should be taking a
o4rt io the promotion of an evil which I, as a christian
man,. consider cannot be too strongly deprecated, or too
strenuously resisted.

A LAUGHABLE OccurtattNce.—The neighbourhood of
Northumbrrl •nd-avenue, Kingstown, wason Friday thrown
into a state of the utmost excitement, it having trans-
pired that a lady had made an as,igntnent with a gentle-
man who had advertised for a wife. Accordingly, at the
hour mentioned (three o'clock) the expectant inhabitants
of the avenue were highly amuse(' on beholding, as Burns
would s•ty, "a fine fat fagel wight" make his appearance,
wiping his fat face with a white handkerchief, the lady
having requested that he would occasionally place a white
handkerchief to his face, as the means of recognition, and
further stating that she would drive up in a pony phaeton
in a great shawer of rain, with the servant on the rumble
protecting her with an umbrella. On seeing her the un-
fortunate man fancied that the object of his search was at
length before him ; and, after a few convulsive applica-
tions of the handkerchief, started forward, and with a
spring, remarkable for a man of his fairly jumped
into the phaeton : and before the astonished lady could
recover from the fright his sudden appearance occasioned,
he had encireled•her in his arms, calling her by every en-
dearing appellation; and it was not until the lady had
uttered scream alter scream, and his shoulders were well
belaboured with the umbrella by the servant, that he ap-
peired to think he had got into the wrong box ; so, mak-
ing his escape as expeditiously as possible, he hastened
off to the train without staying to make further inquiries
for his tnamorata; an:l it is earnestly hoped the lesson
he has received will perform a radical cure for his love.—

honour the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter with a
I visit at their princely residence, Barleigh lii, 'se, near
Stamforel, at as early a period as possible subsequent to
the opening of the new Royal Exchange. ft is probable
• the court will leave Windsor for Lincolnshire about the
commencement of the ensuing math.
A SABBATH MORNINGS WALK.—Suntlay morniteg
week the sernity which pervades most country villages
on the Sabbath Day was experienced in the greatest degree
at East Cowes. tier M,,jesty rose at eight o'clock, and
having breakfasted, accompanied by Prince Albert, pro-
c-s.eded to teke her accustomed exercise. Leaving the
domain of Osborne ficue at. the southern gate, the Queen ,
and Prince proceeded on the tut npike-road to wards Whip-
gingham, about a wile and a half distant. The royal parr
arm-in-arm, were recognised at the hotel which fronts the
gate, and by the woman at the turnpike, without the in-
dulgence of any impertinent curios?! y ; and as the Queen,
and Prince proceeded on their w•dle, many pedestrians
became acquainted with the fact that it was Her Majesty
and the Prince.
UNPREPARED FOR A SUDDEN STORM.—Before they
had reached Whippingham a sudden storm came on, for
which the Queen and Prince were unprepared, her Ma-
jesty having only her usual attire. and a small parasol.
The Queen and Prince Albert, notwithstanding, proceeded
on thew course towards the Barton, then about a mile
and a half from Osborne House, although they passed
several cottages.
A FORTUNATE POSTMAN.—The postman, however, at
Whippimebarn had observed the royal pedestrians, and
with tie best umbrella hi: humble means allowed him, ran
atter her Majesty, and offered it for the service of the
Queen. The P.rince very graciously accepted tire offer,
and his Royal Highness and her Majesty pursued their
way by the Barton to Osborne, over the fields, bidding
the man to follow. On their a; rival at the house, with
many expressionl of thanks, the postman was most agree-
ably surprised with the return of his umbrella, and a
present of £5. The man departed in no very unpleasant
mc.ul, as may he supposed, and was not at all scrupulous
in proclaiming to his acquaintances, as he met,them, that
"it ass a good day's work for him." As soon as the
rain threatened, one or two of the attendants were des-
putched with umbrellas and cloaks, to see her Majesty
and his Royal Highness, but did not fall in with her
-Majesty.

PROGRESS OF TRACTARIANISM.

(From the English Churchman.)

In our remarks upon the Queen's conformity to Pres-
'byterianistn, we simply applied the same rule to her Ma-
jesty which we have uniformly applied to her subjects,
and we are really net acquainted wdh any patent right
which a Sovereign possesses to commit schism. The
Divine right of kings cannot make schism Catholicism !
If it be wrong in bishops, priests, or in the laity, to join
in public worship with those who reject and scoff at Epis-
copacy and the Catholic Church, surely it is wrong also
in the Queen. " Bat," the writer in the British Maga-
zine will say, " we did not enter into the merits of the
case ; we only said that it was disrespectful to the Sove-
reign to say what ou did." Well. and we say that it is
vely mean and cowardly to try to injure us for telling a
truth which you Lad not the courage to tell; although you
kit( to it was the truth.
That we have not overstated the error which her Ma-
jesty made in worshipping with the enemies of Episco-
pacy, we request our readers' attent'on- to the following
suggestions !rout a ccrrespondent who is about, as sound
a specimen of an English Churchman'i as can well be ima-
gined :

" According to the Act of Parliament of William 111., the St:ye-
?civil of England must be in communion will the Church of Eng-
land, or the people are released from their al:egiance
" Might not the Bishops exam:mm.7oWe the Queen for attend-
ing a. Presbyterian place of worship. if the discipline of the church
is worth anything?
" if they did so, Who Would he then Sovereign of England?
" No doubt this Act was- intended to secure us froma Co;wish
Sove7eign, but will it not equally support us from a Presbyterian
one ?" . -

This is a very serious, and, it may be, an erroncons
view of the case; but, whether -rue or false, we shall
doubtless have the old cry raised against us for even pub.
lishing it ; but as our otject is to act fairly and honestly l
ti waids every member of the Church, from the highest
to the lowest, we care very little for mere cries, so long
as we conscientieusly feel that we have done neither more
nor less than our cuty. We take onr slim' upon the
tifory, not upon the practice, of our Church; and when
we are convicted of advocating ar.y. practice or doctrine
for which we have no war. aht, Either in the authoritative
scat d irds, or emirunt Doctors of our Church, we will •
amp!e confession of our error, or forfeit our ttie as
ENc.usa CHURCHMEN!!!
