DISCOVERY, IN LivatwooL, OF Two RUNAWAYS..
On Saturday two very respectably-dressed and intelligent
young men, apparently just out of their teens, were
brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having beet'
found in possession of lsrge sums of money and a brace
of loaded pocket pistols. They gave their names J

Hampson and ThoMas.DickensOn: Inspector 11I'D

stated that about six o'clock on the morning of

(Saturday,) be received information that there were two
young men in a public house, in the Old Haymarket, with
large sums of money about them, which they were spend-
; ing freely, and a brace of loaded pistols, which they were
ever and anon taking out and exhioiting to the bystanders.
He immediately went to the house, and. finding the two
prisoners there, he requested of them to accompany bun
to the Police-office. They went along the streets together,
and the inspector asked Hampson how much money he
had in his possession. He replied that there were 100 so-
vereigns in a bag. On searching the bag, however, 140
were found. Then Iv was asked bow much money he
bad in his purse, to which he replied, from' ten to twenty
sovereigns. The purse contained sixteen sovereigns,.
They had a variety of wearing apparel in their trunks,.
Mr. Rushton asked whether their pistols were really
loaded. The inspector replied in the affirmative.
Hampson said that his mother had given him the money
before be left home, and Dickenson expressed a hope
that the magistrate would dispatch some person for their
parents without delay. They said their parents would be
found at the house of Mr. John Hampson, Nottingham.
Mr. Rushton remanded them, and directed Mr. Superin-
tendent Brown to communicate with their parents.

prosecu-
tion of a line from Masbrougli to Doncaster, a distance of
twelve miles, for which they had caused a survey of the
country t', be made, and which they found could be com-
pleted at a cost of £270,000. For this line no tunnelling
would be required. and the gradients ware extremely fa-
vourable. The treasurer's accounts showed that a depo-
sit of £1 7s. 6d. per share had been paid on 31,220
shares, which amounted to .£42.927 10s. The expendi-
ture amounted to £27,851 ss. I Id. ; the engineering,
surveying. &c., having cost £7342 65., the parliamentary
expenses being £9488 is. Bd., and the expenses of wit-
nesses in London, with travelling, &c., were upwards of
£6OOO. There was a balance in hand of £15,076 4s. Id. ;
but as there were liabilities to the amount of £BO5l 14s.
Id., the sum to he returned to the shareholders was re-
nuced to £7024 10s. The recommendation of the direc-
tors was that those who joined the new company should
receive one £25 shave in respect of every four which they
held in the old company; or, in other words, each share-
holder who seceded from the old company would receive
18s. per share, while those joining the r

company would

have to pav Xi. The report was unanimousiv adopted.
Mr. Shepherd. the parliamentary agent. and as represen-
tative of 4200 shares, complained of the heavy expense of
£2OO per mile for surveyitz; and the expense of £l7OO wet
complained of by Mr. Robertson, of Masbrough, as being
too high a .charge for the old plans and surreys. It was
resolved that the c ,niparty be now dissolved, and that it
be not considered an art of bankruptcy. It will be thus
seen that the old company i 4 to he dissolved, but the share-
holders will carry out the line from Masbrough to Don-
caster. at which place it will join the London end York.
The directors have surveyed the tine at their own expense.

THE CHURCH AND THE PROTECTIONISTS

(From the Oxford and Cambridge Review.)

Perhaps it may be thought that the true refuge for the
Church under present circumstances is the Protectionist
or Country party. We have striven to speak well of the
said Country party. We could not but feel a strong sym-
pathy with them in the late session of Parliament, when
they had to battle out a losing cause against the minister
who had betrayed them ; but, apart from those peculiar
circumstances in which they were at that time placed, we
confess that we can but speak of them with very qualified
approval. Especially in the matter of the Church, we
doubt their having any sounder or deeper views than the
mere Conservatives. At least, if the general character of
a party may be gathered from the individual character of

th.ose units which constitute it, the Church views of the
Country party must be, to say the least, somewhat indis-
tinct and hasy. Lord Stanley, when, as a member of the
Peel government, he, in 1845, opposed the St. Asaph and
Bangor Bill, spoke more decidedly against the increase of
English Bishopricks than any other noble lord who took
part in the debate. Lord George Bentinck has not, pro-
bably, found time to turn his attention to a subject not
very congenial, and apparently not very pressing. Mr.
D'lsraeli's church views may be described askalf Angli-
can, half Romanist, and haff Jewish. And as for those
very respectable country gentlemen wbo form the mass of
the Protectionist party, and give it all its importance,
whether in Parliament or in the country, sure we are that
not one in ten of them has any other wish with regard to
the Church than that things should be let alone—that par-
sons should not be over pious—and that Puseyism should

them that five or six thousand more clergy are wanted for
England and Wales, only, that twenty or thirty new bi-
sbopricks are required, that five thouiand new schools.
and nearly an equal number of churches have to be built,
that fresh laws are needed with respect to the matters of cle-
rical supervision, and Church discipline, that the powers of
the Diocesan courts should be revived; hint further, that
something of liberty in regard to the election, of Bishops,
some real voice in the matter should be restored to the
Chapters, and add that it is hoped Convocation will ere
long be allowed to meet for the dispatch of business.
and thenceforth sit regularly with every Parliament—and
you will be at once set down for a Puseyite or a luna-
tic. These respectable gentlemen would hold up their
hands in horror, at the bare mention of such a catalogtre
of reforms, and would look on the proposer of them as an
ecclesiastical radical. Their notion is, that the Church
should keep quiet.—` let well alone,' as they phrase it.
They would have all remain as they knew it in their

days,-

these are the sort of clergymen they would wish to see
perpetuated, this is their beau ideal of what a clergyman
should be. All stir in the Church they deprecate; they
think it dangerous; they know not what may come of it.
To expect them to aid in that regeneration of our Church
which is at present in progress, to expect them to lend a
helping hand to what they so little comprehend, and so
far as they comprehend distrust, appears to us a very san-
guine, not to say a silly notion. No ! it may be th.a. the

Church is wholly beset by enemies, and has nothing to
hope for from any existing political party —it may bet bat
the Whig policy will not correspond to our anticipations
of it, and the Church will at last be thrown wholly upon
herself and her own resources,—all this is yet in the womb
of time, and we pretend not to the gift of vaticination,—
but of one thing, at least, we are sure, the Protectionists
will be found by the Church but a bruised reed for her to
lean on. Already is there rife among Protectionists a feeling
of anger against the Clergy and the Church generally on
account of their tacit aquiescence in the great event of the
last session, the repeal of the duties upon foreign grain.
That neither University should have petitioned against the
change, that the colleges should have remained quiet, that

the ,aapters should have looked on in seeming indif-
ference, that the Clergy should nowhere have made a stand,
that a majority of the Bishops should have voted for the

Church, in the eyes of that party which has made protec-
tion its battle-cry, and holds all other points as of secon-
)rtance. They are provoked, grievously provo-

tentedness-under the new arrangement. They cannot un-
derstand how a class, whose incomes are the most threat-
ened of any by the change, should so readily submit to it.
They fail altogether to appreciate that noble and generous
sentiment which has pervaded the clerical body, and in-
duced the members of it to abstain from all interference,
with a legislation, which, while it may fall indeed evme-
what heavily upon themselves, promises to increase the
comforts, and ameliorate the condition of those for whom
they are especially bound to care, the poor of Christ's
flock. Instead of sympathising with such prais.-.worthy
self-denial, they are wont to acuse the clergy of deserting
them, and are not unfrequently heard to utter threats of
future retaliation.

HONOUR TO THE FAIR SEX!-At the risk of vexing
some who would not have their good deeds brought too
Prominently forward, we cannot avoid making honoura-
ble mention of the remarkable perseverance and devotion
of the daughters of General Simcoe, wbo distinguished
himself in the American war. These ladies, on the ruins

r which they worked

all the stone with

erected a church, f
their own hands. A large drawing room, commenced by
the general, and not finished, served for the atcfl'er. We
have a worthy companion for these ladies, whose names we
mention with all due respect, in Miss Rickards, of Stow
Langtoft, Bury, who has, with her own hands, as we hear,
glazed all the windows in her father's church, with
stained glass, painted and burnt by herself 1-7-Builder.
