to us a plain duty laid upon all of us—Bishops, Pasty
and People—to review our position and our princip
and to cast aside and root out all doctrines and practle—e
which are not plain and palpably consistent with the lette.
and the spirit of the English Church, and with th:,
straightforward manly simplicity and honesty of the gile'd
lish character. Let us have priests who speak, look, 311,1
move, like men and Englishmen, not like automatons 0-11.;i'
Romanists. Let our Laity be content with being earn
obedient worshippers, not mere mechanical devotees. i'et,
both show that in their worship they are well content to
keep strictly within those limits which the laws all!,
usages of the English Church plainly enjoin and a 11,,,;
This, surely, is not an unreasonable demand upotM
humility and self-denial of men and women who special'
profess to be humble and self-denying, and to be ols°
faithful and obedient members of that Church.
We are very glad to hear that the good work which
going on at Stoke Newington, in connexion with P:
Matthias' Church, is not likely to be more than tette,
rarily hindered by the unfaithfulness, and most unPr°
yoked desertion of the pastor. A good work, so earnestlf'
lovingly, and perseveringly carried on as this has been.
was sure to excite the malice of Satan : and let us hope
that he has now done his worst. We have reason to be'
lieve that most of those who have followed, or are pie
to follow, their Pastor in his fearful step, have, like 111w,,'
been trained in the school of Dissent. Let those 0,,1;
are firm and faithful in their allegiance to the Englls
Church unite heartily together to "strengthen the this
which remain," by an earnest and manifest obedience
the laws and usages , of the English Church, scrupulettel);
avoiding all doctrines and practices which she has 11,°e
plainly sanctioned, and systematically abstaining froth
use of Romish Devotional books. Let it be evident to 3he
men that the Church, the Services, the Clergy, and
Congregation of St. Matthias are unmistakeably EngloP

GRANGE FRIENDLY BENEFIT SOCIETY.—The
of this society celebrated its anniversary on Wednesdsr
by walking in procession from the- club-house, in Grang;
near Hoylake, to West Kirby Church, where a seltoee
was preached by the Rev. Mr. Graham, of Bidston. A,111),
divine service, the members marched back to their clitro,
house, where they sat down to an excellent dinner P,4
vided by Mr. Joseph Ball. This society is in a v7t;
prosperous condition ; it numbers 188 members, and
funds exceed £l,OOO.
SOUTH WALES COAL AND IRON TRADES.—The deo)3.'y
for coal and iron in the southern part of the princiPallit.
still continues extremely great. The coal trade has 'l"i.
creased to an extraordinary extent, and since the war °t
tile
menced coals cannot be raised fast enough to supplY
wants of home and the commercial and naval mat>,
Hundreds of vessels are at Cardiff and Penarth BD, for
taking in cargoes or waiting their turn. The demaauh•cy
steam coal has wonderfully increased, and anthracite vim
fair to take the place of other fuel for steamers. In
4re
iron trade the demand is very great, and new furnaces :0
continually being put into blast. The Gwendraeth 10'ea
have just been put into full operation. None of the 0
in either branch are out on strike.
A FATAL ACCIDENT occurred at Swansea on Fr/d4l
and from a cause that has frequently produced perse74
injury at the docks of Liverpool. Richard Noals, a 3;3tile
pensioner, aged fifty-nine, was assisting to cast ori,,,a
steamer Glendower from her moorings, at the Troubauevo
wharf, she being about to proceed to sea. While so jog
ployed the guide rope suddenly gave way at the moo c 1;
post, and the strain upon it being very great, it s of
the deceased with great force, and he fell over the -vag
the quay into the water. When he was got out it, t 13.0
found that he had sustained a compound fracture 01

left leg, and also a fracture of the right lee and arm. P-4
left leg was amputated ACC.

THE CROPS IN Souric WALES.—The recent beme
rains have much retarded harvesting operations,
dry weather is much required to enabie the farmer AI
gather in his hay, and to ripen and mature the cer„'be
crops. It is generally-expected that of hay the sw3„„el
will be light, and, indeed,.in scarcely any neighbour
is it anticipated that an average crop will be obtained. f.st
wheat plants look healthy and strong, and have, to a g:).`.4
extent, improved by the late falls of rain ; and, sli4o
fine weather be vouchsafed, there is every promise 014,
abundant yield. The potato breadths are noticed as wtio.4
ing very healthy, and great hope is entertained that
,ery
year the blight will be escaped. In some places a lid
heavy crop of barley is anticipated, but of this grail', tee,
likewise of oats, nothing beyond an average can be exPeco.
A DISAPPOINTED LOVER.—At the Chester petty
,41
sions, on Saturday, Charles-Davies, of Whitby, was 631.'0
with being drunk and disorderly on:the 30th ultimo. , Lotl

girll7 years old, the daughter of the grocer and Plw tire

passion of her admirer, in consequence of which she lie
followed by Davies, and continually annoyed by lorclit,
protesting that her image-haunted him by day and oh, fe

house, from which he had to be ejected by a police tend
and at other times paid. midnight visits, and sal that

on one of these latter occasions he had, whilst ill
