There are 9G places of public worship in Dublin, viz.:—
Established Church, 46 ; Roman Catholic, 2S ; Presbyteri-
ans, 6; dissenters, 16.
BURNING OP BIBLES.—The of the bng o a
number of Protestant Bibles
byaccount Roman Catholicurni priests in
the town of Champlain, Clinton county, New York, is, it
now aPPears quite correct, and furnishes us with most dis-
graceful evidence of the existence at this day, of a degree of
bigotry, perfectly appaling. That act was indeed most dis-
graceful—disgraceful to all immediately concerned in it—
and was calculated to disgrace the whole communion to which
the fanatics belong. Nothing but the most stupid ignorance
could have led these blinded bigots to burn these Bibles,
merely because they contained that version which was made
of the Scriptures by the learned and excellent man who tran-
slated the sacred volume in the time of King James.-2 Vera
York paper.

A CONSCIENTIOUS DISSENTER.—An amusing scene c
curred at the late Sessions for the County of Durham.

or you will not be allowed your expenses. These worth,
acted like magic on the " conscientious " dissenter ; i,i.
scruples immediately vanished, and he hastily raised the book
to his lips, amidst roars of laughter from the whole court.
A SHAM CONFESSOR.—On Christmas-eve the son of the
sacristan of Reignac, in the arrondissement of Barbezieux,
1 having learned that several young girls were about to go to
confession, put on a surplice, and placed himself in one of
the confessionals of the church. Three or four young girls
came successively to acknowledge their peccadilloes to the
pretended minister of the gospel, and the trick might have
passed over undiscovered, if on an elderly man having come
forward to confess the lad had not desired wantono he gone,
for that lie only confessed pretty girls. The hearing
this cried out, and the whole matter was made public. The
