" THE TIMES" TESTIMONIAL.—A marble tablet, intended
to commemrnorate the foundation of The Times Scholarship,
for the benefit of scholars at Christ's Hospital who may at-
tain the greatest proficiency, bas been erected in the Gram-
mar-school of that institution. The scholarship, as is well
known, was founded by a voluntary subscription in memory
of the celebrated trial of " Bogle v. Lawson." The follow-
ing is the inscription engraved on the tablet :
" THIS TABLET
was erected to commemorate the foundation of a scholarship
for the benefit of the pupils of this house proceeding to the
Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, to be denominated
' THE TIMES' SCHOLARSHIP;
which was established out of a portion of a voluntary sub-
scription made by many merchants and bankers of London
and other commercial places, in testimony of the warm ad.
miration and grateful sense entertained by them of the inde-
fatigable perseverance, distinguished ability, and unsparing
disregard of expense, displayed by the proprietors of The
Times newspaper, in the detection and exposure of the most
remarkable and extensively fraudulent conspiracy ever brought
to light in the mercantile world, which was developed in the
trial of ' Bogle versus Lawson,'

A. D. 1841.
" The proprietors of The Times having generously declined
to accept any portion of the subscription, it was devoted to
the foundation of two scholarships for the encouragement of
education for ever ; one of which is assignedg pup
to thepupils of
Christ's Hospital."

PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.—We observe by the
metropolitan journals, that the Rev. Francis Close, of Chel-
tenham, and the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, of Watton Rec-
tory, Hertfordshire, have given in their adhesion to the So-
ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.
Those gentlemen had intimated that they could no longer
continue members of the society, unless those who were en-
trusted with the responsibility of selecting the society's agents
and missionaries would take care not to appoint persons
holding what are termed Puseyite doctrines. In reply, a
copy of the following letter was sent to each of them by the
secretary of the society:—

"My dear Sir,—ln reference to Pall Mall, March 30.0ur letter of the lfith
instant, I beg to assure you, in the y
name of the committee, that you do them no more than justice in giving them credit
for an earnest desire to guard with vigilant attention against
an insincere profession of attachment to the doctrines of our
church' by those who are to be engaged in the service of the
society. But I must at•the same time say, that the commit-
tee see no reason to depart from their resolution of recog-
nising no theological tests of fitness for that service other
than thoserdwhich are provided in our Liturgy and Articles;
and that they cannot think it right to add to those tests an
inquiry into agreement or disagreement with any private and
unauthorised publication whatever, much less with one which
forms part of the controversies of the present day.
" The committee are as anxious as yourself that their mis-
sionaries should really think, and bona fide hold,' the great
doctrines of our church ; and they are quite ready to take
the acceptance of her Articles and Liturgy, according to
their ' literal and grammatical sense,' their plain and full
meaning, as a bond of union between the society and its
supporters.

" Heartily joining in your prayer for that wisdom from
above which may make us instruments, in God's bands, for
the increase of true religion,
" I remain, my dear sir, yours faithfully,
" A. C. CAMPBELL."

THE POPE.—The Clergy of France, March 19,1682, unani-
mously resolved :-1. That a General Council was above the
Pope ; 2. That the Pope has no power in temporals over any
Princes ; 3. Nor any power to depose Princes ; 4. Nor to ab-
solve their subjects from their oaths of fidelity ; 5. That he
is not infallible.

CLERICAL FRACAS. ...The only information worth trans-
mitting from this quarter (Kilcullen) is that relative to a
fracas between two Roman Catholic clergymen, which has
excited a good deal of interest as well as amusement. It ap-
pears that a priest, a mild, unoffending, and exemplary man,
who resides in,—, county of Kildare, went to visit a friend.
not a hundred miles from Old Kilcullen. Having left his
gig and horse at the door, he entered his friend's house.
While paying the visit, a brother ecclesiastic, remarkable for
his turbulent conduet and for being a violent repealer, came
up and inquired to whom the horse and gig belonged. At
this moment Father --- made his appearance, after paying
his visit, when he was seized upon by the other priest, who
dragged Min 'abdut 60 yards from the door, and after calling
him the mostiopprobrious names, thrust him into a pound,
and was going to shut the poor man up, when his hat, which
was knocked off in the scuffle, was picked up by some people
who witnessed the scone, and who immediately rescued him
from the grasp of his assailant, who, foaming with rage,
mounted his horse and rode away. The priest, thus so wan-
tonly attacked by the vulgar bully above alluded to, was set
at liberty by the people, who were lost in astonishment at
the cruel and unfeeling conduct of the worthy disciple of
Maynooth.—Carlow Sentinel.

Loss OF THE HIBERNIA.—One of those disasters at sea,
which we are surprised are not of more frequent occurrence,
took place on Saturday morning last. The brig Hibernia, on
her homeward voyage from Dundalk for this port, was run
down by an American ship, off Beaumaris, and from ten to
twelve miles from the shore. It happened about twenty
minutes past four in the morning. It was hazy and dark, and
the man at the bow of the American saw the brig, and im-
mediately ran up a light, but was too late for the brig to get
out of the way, as in a very few minutes she was run into
rather more astern than amidships, and began to fill imme-
diately. It was the work of a moment; indeed there was
barely time to cut the lashings of the small boat which was
hung at the stern, and she fortunately did not swamp on
reaching the water. The captain (Whiteside) and crew, in
ali seven men, got into her, but had no time to save a single
article except the clothes they had on ; the boat was up to the
gunwhale, and they had but one oar and part of another to
assist themselves with. The American, meanwhile, not sup-
posing so much damage had been done, sheered off, apparently
leaving the unfortunate crew to their fate ; but in a short
time she hove-to and took them on board. It is most
probable that had this not been done they must have perished,
lor immediately after it came on to rain and blow very
Heavily, and as we stated, they were nearly twelve miles from
shore. The captain and crew, who were brought into Liver-
pool, say they were well behaved to on board the American.
the Hibernia belongs to Messrs. Knowles, of this town, and
vas not insured. She had on board about nine hundred loads
►f meal, consigned to Mr. Gradwell, part only of which, we
lelieve, was insured; one. hundred barrels of wheat for
Messrs. Lawson, insured; and a quantity of meal for a per-
m at Blackburn, which, we understand, was not insured.
'he Hibernia was seen about three hours after the accident
v the crew of a schooner which sailed from Dundalk the
,me time she did. She was floating on her beam-ends. It t
very probable that she may not again be heard of.—

A QUESTION FOR CONSCIENCE.-Why should churchmen
pay to maintain the registrars for the births, mar-
riages, and deaths of dissenters ?

CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSION.—It iS a fact which
cannot be too widely circulated, that the venerable " Society
for propagating the Gospel" alone employs no fewer than 382
missionaries ; besides which there are upwards of 120 clergy-
men maintained by the " Church Missionary Society ;" and
also a considerable number supported, wholly. or in part, by
the " Society for the Conversion of the Negroes," a society
established in the reign of the second Charles, principally by
the exertions of that truly eminent man the Hon. Robert
Boyle. Altogether there are seven hundred and eighty-six
clergymen employed by the Church of England as mission-
aries and chaplains in the colonies and dependencies of the
British empire, and in heathen and Mahomedan countries in
various parts of the world; and these clergymen are now
placed under the episcopal superintendence of seventeen pre-
lates, five of whom were consecrated with great solemnity in
Westminster Abbey, on the 24th of August, in the last year.
MUNIFICENT GRANT.—The Rev. Dr. Warneford, rector
of Bourton-on-the-Hill, and honorory canon of Glocester
and of Bristol, has conveyed by deed, to trustees, an estate
in the parish of Hellingley, in the county of Sussex, contain-
ing 737 a. 7p., called the Broad Estate, and also his impropri-
ate rectory of the parish of Hellingley, and his manor of
Warlington (altogether yielding a net income in future of
£l,lOO per annum) for promoting the special objects of the
Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum, and for enabling the managers to
admit a greater number of patients. Dr. Warneford has
charged his princely donation with the annual payment of
two sums, one not exceeding £5O as a stipend to the chap-
lain of the asylum, and the other of £2O for the support of a
Sunday school at Hellingley. In 1813, when the under-
taking was in its infancy, Dr. Warneford and his benevolent
sister contributed £2OO each towards its support ; in 1826,
£3OO each ; and in 1838 their donations altogether amounted
to £7,250. " Such (says the Oxford Journal) are the evi-
dences which have been given by this great Christian philan-
thropist of his anxiety to relieve the woes of the insane of the
middling and upper classes of society, whose circumstances
are not able to bear the pressure of these extensive afflic-
tions, nor suitably provide for their medical, , moral and re-
ligious care."
