DISCOVERY OF A MURDER.—A woman named Fle-
ming, residing at 'Kilkeasy, in the county of Kilkenny,
has voluntarily informed the police of that district of a
murder committed about Christmas, 1847. She stated
that she chanced to pass the door of John Walsh, at
Castlegannon, and turned for the purpose of going in,.but
drew back in terror upon beholding the body of Welsh's
brother-in-law, Thomas Ball, a cow-jobber, lying dead
and covered with blood on the floor, and Walsh and his
daughter making ready to remove it by the back door.
She contrived to get away unobserved, and having told her
husband what she had seen, he enjoined her never to Ci-
vulge the circumstance during his lifetime. She promised
not to do so, and kept her word. On inquiry the police
found maws•

circumstances to corroborate the truth of
her story. Ball had been suddenly missed from the lo-
cality' when he was known to have a large sum of money,
and a search having been made at the house of Walsh, who
with his daughter was arrested, a skeleton was discovered

buried near the back door, the skull appearing to have
been fractured. An inquest was held on the remains,
and a verdict of "Wilful murder" was returned against
Walsh, who was immediately committed for trial.

THE CHURCH AND FOREIGN RELIGIONISTS

(From the Morning Herald.)

The inspiring genius of the Morning Chronicle, who,
under the initials of " D. C. L.," performs more than
editorial duty in that Journal, is, as might be expected,
sorely annoyed at one of the results of the " Great Exhi-
bition." Various religious bodies in the metropolis have
felt their obligation to provide for the multitudes of fo-
reigners who are now visiting London some special means
of Divine worship and religious instruction. The case
was a new, and the appliances needed to be new also.
The Dissenters of London not only devoted some of their
Pulpits to this particular purpose, but they engeged Exeter
Hallalso, wheresomeof their best preachers have assembled
during the last five or six Sundays large audiences. The
Church was not backward in the same work. Special
services were announced in St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in
St. Pancras' parish, and in various other churches. But
something was still needed to meet the case of those nu-
merous foreigners, whose knowledge of the English tongue
was too slight to enable them to benefit by an English
service. To meet this want another plan was devised.
Some of the best preachers of the Reformed Churches of
France and Germany were invited to enter the pulpits of
some of the licensed chapels of the Establishment, and
therein to preach in French and German—the Liturgy
being previously read in the same tongues. In this way,
in Portman Chapel ; in Trinity Chapel, Colquit-street;
and in Woburn Chapel, Messrs. Roger, Grandpierre, and
Merle d'Aubigne have preached. The latter preached on
Sunday last in Woburn Chapel, Tavistock -square. The
prayers were read in French by the Rev. R. Burgess, rector
of Upper Chelsea ; and a large congregation attended,
among whom were observed the Duchess of Sutherland
and her daughter, the Hon. A. Kinnaird, and many dis-
tinguished foreigners.
This fact has sorely perplexed and grieved " D. C. L."
When informed that these things have taken place with
the knowledge and approval of the Bishop of London he
asserts at once that " this is plainly impossible." He
adds, that Dr. D'Aubigne " is punishable by a three
months' imprisonment.' If so, why does he not, for the
prevention of future offences of the same kind, at once put
this law in force?

But having first satisfied himself that the bishop's ap-
proval of these services is " impossible," he next proceeds
to demand " strong and courageous measures on his lord-
ship's part to purge the Church of a scandal which he
cannot, in consistency with his duty, leave unredressed."
" Fos the proceeding resolves itself into the denial of the
Apostolic succession, and the denial of the Apostolic suc-
cession is the denial of Apoatolicily."
Awful! But is it not somewhat strange that it should
not have occurred to " D. C. L." that this " denial of
Apostolicity" has taken place in various ways, during
centuries past. For instance, we have a National Church
in Scotland, and that National Church is, shocking to
say, Presbyterian. And being so, Kings and Queens of
England have recognised it as the Church established in
that land, have sent Royal Commissioners to its annual
assemblies, have attended its worship when in Scotland,
and have passed many laws in which it is declared to be
" the Church." Aye, and these laws have passed with
the approval of bishops and archbishops of our Church of
England—being present, and assisting at the making of
them.

The simple truth is, that for centuries past the Church
and Sta`e of England, and the best ecclesiastical writers,
have simply regarded Presbyterianism as a less perfect
system of Church government than episcopacy. Hence
they have not unchurched the Church of Scotland, or the
Reformed Churches abroad ; but have dealt with them as
with sister Churches not so happily circumstanced as oar
own•

And this feeling has been extended, by some of the
highest names in our Church, to .Protestant Dissenters
also. Archbishop Sancroft was a non-juror. He is a
sort of model prelate with the High Churchmen of the
present day. Yet Archbishop Sancroft, in bis injunctions
to his clergy, published in 1688 thus instructs them, as to
the proper demeanour to be observed towards Dissen-
ters :

" That they also walk in wisdom towards those that are not
of our communion ; and if there be in their parishes any such,
that they neglect not frequent/, to confer with them in the
spirit of meekness, seeking by all good ways and means to gain
and win them over to our communion : more especially, that
they have a very tender regard to our brethren the Protestant
dissenters ; that upon occasion offered, they visit them at their
houses, and receive them kindly at their own, and treat them
fairly wherever they meet them, discoursing calmly and civilly
with them ; persuading them (if it may be) to a full compliance
with our Church. or at least that whereto we have already at-
tained, we may all walk by the same rule, and mind the same
thing.' And in order hereunto, that they take all opportunities
of assuring and convincing them that the bishops of this
Church are really and sincerely irreconcilable enemies to the
errors, imuerstu ons, idolatries, and tyrannies of the Church of
Rome; and ;hat the very unkind jealousies which some have
had of Its to the cont i ary were altogether groundless. And, in
the last place, that tht y warmly and most affectionately exhort
them
joia with us in daily fervent priyer to the God of
Peace, forthe nnivers: IMessed union of all Reformed Churches
both at home and ab. cad against our common enemies; that all
they who do confess the holy name of our dear Lord, and do
agree in the truth of his Holy Word, may also meet in one holy
communion, and live in perfect unity and godly love."

These injunctions are given in the late Rev. Dr.
"YleY's Life of the Archbishop. published under the
immediate sanction of the last Primate. "D.C.L.,"
therefore, will find little countenance in his pious horror
at PicOyteriniora h tiny of the beads of our own Church.
