honest conformity is here meant ; not a scrupulous adherence
to petty ceremonies, which time may have rendered obsolete,
and which the lawful authorities of the church had never re-
quired the restoration.
I have written more at length upon this subject than is,
perhaps, required by our relative positions ; because 1 am
anxious to use the language of remonstrance, instead of au-
thority; that of a father to an indiscreet son; or, if you
will, that of a senior presbyter, to a very young one, who
yet has taken upon himself, without authority from his
bishop, to introduce practices, which, if they ever prevailed
in the church, have long since fallen into desuetude.
In conclusion, I will refer you to an authority older than
any that the utmost admirer of antiquity can produce. St.
Paul distinctly asserts that there was no sin in eating meat
which had been offered to idols; still, he directs the Corin-
thians to abstain from stich a practice, out of consideration
of the consciences of others—" When, therefore, ye sin
against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, yt
sin against God." And again—" Give then none offence,
neither to the Jew nor to the Gentile, nor to the church of
God."

I feel sure that this admonition will be sufficient to ensure
the discontinuance of the novelties complained of; and I
beg that you will believe me to be, always, reverend sir, your
faithful friend and brother, H. WORCESTER.

PWLLIIELI, JAN. 27.—The Solway, of Whitehaven, from
iverpool to Barbadoes, is on shore under Pistill, near
Portinllaen ; crew saved. The Ardent, Roberts, of Nevin,
came ashore at Portinallaen, yesterday, and became a wreck ;
one man and a boy drowned. Last night and this morning
it blew a most awful gale of wind, ranging from S.W. to
N.W. ; about eight o'clock this morning it moderated a
little, still blowing fresh from N.W. The barque Sarah,
(before reported) rode out the gale, but drove considerably.
I have been informed that she has capsized her windlass.
NORTH SHIELDS, JAN. 26.—The fore part of these 2A
hours strong gales, with thick showers of snow. At meri-
dian the Argus, Patterson : and Eliza, Gray, when taking
our bar, the wind from E.S.E., got too far to leeward, and
drove upon Tynemouth rocks ; they came in contact with
each other, and the Eliza within half an hour after striking
went to pieces ; the crew got on board the Arg,us, the gale
still continuing with great violence. Captain Manby's ap-
paratus was speedily put into operation, and the crews of
both the vessels were safely landed by that useful and invalu-
able invention.
WEXFORD, JAN. 26.—1 t has been blowing a terrific gale,
accompanied with rain, since one o'clock this morning, and
about four a.m., the Sarah, Rossiter, of Waterford, from
Llanelly for Bannow, stranded at Tacumshane, a short dis-
tance to the westward of the wreck of the Honor, of St.
Ives. The sea was breaking with tremendous fury, the crew
were in the rigging, and every effort to render assistance
proved ineffectual. At last the vessel yielded to the power
of the sea, and the master and three of the crew perished
together—one man only was saved in the most exhausted
state.
LIMERICK, JAN. 26.—We have been visited with one of
the most terrific and destructive gales of wind it has ever
oeen our lot to witness in this country. The gale com-
menced between the hours of three and four o'clock, a.m.,
from the southward, and continued with unabated violence
till noon. The immense damage done to the shipping cannot
be properly estimated, but it is supposed to be considerably
underrated at £15,000. The tide was forced considerably
above the level of the quay, so that any attempt to keep
fenders in their proper places was completely out of the ques-
tion. The destruction among the houses was also very con-
siderable ; roofs and chimneys have been blown down, and
windows, in thousands, have been broken. Two houses have
been blown down and six persons buried in the ruins. The
streets have a most desolate appearance ; the shop windows
are all closed, and business is totally suspended;
CORK, JAN. 28.—N0 person recollects Cork and its neigh.
bourhood to have been visited by so dreadful a storm as that
of yesterday morning, which continued until an advanced
hour in the day. About midnight on Tuesday, the wind,
which blew from the N.W., gradually increased in violence
until about three, when it blew a storm, levelling chimnies,
stripping roofs of houses, tearing up trees from their roots,
and creating much alarm, both for the safety of the houses
and the shipping at our quays. About halt-past six o'clock
in the morning a chimney fell on the roof of the house of
Messrs. Footts and Fitzimons, Solicitors, South Mall, which
in its descent carried down the roof and two floors, burying a
sou of Mr. Fitzsimon's and two female servants. The acci-
dent having been rrported at the Tuckey-street station, a
party of police immediately went to the ruin, and, fearless of
danger from a stack of high chimnies that waved over them,
they commenced digging the ruins to endeavour to extricate
those beneath. After labouring hard they had the pleasure
of drawing out Master Arthur Fitzsimons, more frightened
than hurt. This success caused them to renew their exer-
tions, and by eight o'clock they removed the two females
from their distressing position, and they had the last scarcely
outside the wall of the building when the stack of chimnies
fell in, carrying everything with it in its fall. Had it fallen
one moment sooner, Mr. G. Foott, the constables and fe-
males, were no more. The females were much bruised,
but providentially none of their limbs were broken. The
next serious accident--one which we are sorry to say oc
:asioned the loss of life—occurred in the provision marke
on the Grand Parade. It was occasioned by the falling of E,
brick wall on a timber shed. About ten o'clock Mr. Edwara
England, of Winter's-hill, passed from the meat market
into the fowl market, when he was knocked down by a
linney falling on him, but he received no further injury than
a cut on the face and a few bruises on the body. His life
was saved by_the falling of one end of the main beans on a
butcher's stall which prevented the timber crushing him.
eut this was not the only provideiatial occurrence in respect
to this gentleman, for if his course had not been intercepted
at this moment by the falling in of the linney, he in all pro-
bability would have been killed by the falling in of the brick
wall towards which was he proceeding at the moment, and
which fell while he was prostrate, burying four women who
sold eggs in the market, beneath its ruins. Immediately
after the accident, head-constable Condon and a party of po-
lice were on the spot, and removed the rubbish and broken
timber, so as to enable them to take out the creatures that
were under it, who were dreadfully mangled. One of them
named Judith Cunningham, of Brandy-lane, who was mar-
ried, and the mother of five children, died shortly after,
every bone in her body having been fractured. The others,
Ellen and Mary Sullivan, sisters, and Mary Collins were re-
moved to the South Infirmary, where Mary Sullivan died in
the course of the day, and her sister it is not supposed could
live out the night, as she was severely injured, both legs
being broken. Many other buildings were injured, and in
the country trees were thrown across the road in several
places, and the Dublin Mail was frequently obliged to stop
owing to the severity of the storm .
THE STORM IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—On Wednesday we
had a tremendous gale, and a heavy sea rolled into the bay
and harbour. No casuality has occurred upon this side of
the island, but we quote the following from a Ramsey cor-
respondent :—" After the heavy S. E. gale yesterday morn-
ing, which drove four vessels on shore between this town and
the point of Ayre, the wind during the after part of the day
chopped round to the N. W., and from seven to ten o'clock
blew a complete hurricane." In addition to the above, we
have heard that a large schooner is on shore near Kentraugh,
and a number of vessels which ought to have been reported
safe have not been heard of, but, the supposition is that they
have made for Scotland.—Manx San, of Saturday.
