attain and retain a character for charity now is to admit—to
say, I may be wrong in this, I cannot say, perhaps Christ
was not God—l must not dare to say positively he is, for
that would give offence to the Unitarians—perhaps there are
other mediators between God and man : I must be modest,

hear.) This is what goes down now, sir. (Loud cheers.)

Oh, sir, we must beware how we yield to the current that i;
setting that way. (Hear, hear.) I fear not only from the
outbreak of this heresy, but from the sapping and under-
mining effects of this false charity. (Wear.) I see little of
the tone and temper that won the Reformation, and it can
only be retained by the temper which achieved it." Oh,

Mr. Vevers! is it not paltry, is it not unbecoming your cha-
racter and position amongst the Wesleyans, to represent Mr.
M'Neile in the last two lines as speaking of tractarianism,
when any man not " utterly •oid of understanding," can
only read them as applying to the falsehood which the
speaker was then denouncing, viz., the infidel liberalism
which passes current in the present day for charity, meek..
ness, and forbearance. We need say no more to a writer
who can so artfully contrive his extracts to make them
mean anything or nothing, as hest suits his purpose. Mr.
M'Nelle has already exposed one instance of this, and those
which we have now added will not, we think, improve the
character of Mr. Vevers as a fair and candid writer.]

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last Thos. Witham,
aged 15, was killed on the Eastern Counties Railway, at
Margaretting. He was engaged with a waggon train, and in
attempting to get from the engine to the buffer, just as the
train started, his foot slipped, he fell across one of the rails,
and two or three waggons passed over him, crushing both
legs and mutilating his body in various places. I-house n a toot

himself as well as those in charge of him. No i
could move the landlord's flinty heart. A delay of about 40
minutes was thus created. The poor fellow was then put
into a cart and conveyed to the next union-house, where he
died soon after his arrival. The jury returned a verdict of
accidental death ; and both coroner and jury strongly repro-
bated the unfeeling conduct of the inkeeper.

immediately deserted, as was also a ship %%hick lay near her.
Hundreds of people left the town, and many of the shops
were shut up. Attempts were made by a company of sup-
ers and miners to sink the vessel by firing through her, but
beforep this could be effected the flames had extended fore and
aft, and the rockets arid loaded shells flew about and exploded
Of Of course, the sappers were called off,
in every .

this time was grittl and imposing, vast numbers of the
rockets going up simultaneously, and many of the shells ex-

ploding in
mile from the vessel.. About one o'clock the mainmast went
by the board, dragging with it the foremast, while the flumes
still raged forionbly below, a strong wind blowing at the
time. About two o'clock a further and more powerful se-
ries of discharges and explosion= took place, and, at twenty
minutes to three the vessel sank in deep water. The ship
which lay near her refeived some blight damage. Tlvalue-
le
of the cargo was 125,000, including the cannon, w
£14,000. The guns will be recovered, but will,
probably,
have to be re-cast. The gulls, with their carriages, being f
