THE STATESMAN.

CHURCH PRP:FERMENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE. STATESMAN.

Stn,—As year escellent Paper is read by many
IA wyers and Civilises, i n ish some of them to renege
my doubti on a point of great interest to the Cleri-
cal ‘Vorld. It is remoored that an elderly Imes-
bent of a valuable living has applied In his Dior:tun,
who is also advanced in years, to allow him to resign•
it in f of his nephew, who is a vary young man.
Under what terms this resignation is to take place Is
not known, hut it is strongly surmised, that the par.
tin have a treble object In view: first, to get rid of
an Ogfeerweist for tithes with the Parishioners ; second-
ly, to enable the present Incembent, from his great
inguence, to get another valuable Living ; and thirdly,
that he may secure, for his life, an anneal participa-
tion in his nephew's income ?
Now, sir, as this transaction mast operate to the
injury and disadvantage of the Bishop's successor, by
depriving him of an early chance to present to this
saleable preferment, I wish to know whether it is
legal for the present Bishop to accept a voluntary
resignation of chi! nature; I mean even without re-
ference to the actual circisenstaaces of Air case, which
are very suspicious, and. if tree, highly atmensicsi ;
for, if it is illegal. 1 take it for granted, that the
Bishop's successor may avoid this Living, and pre-
sent another person to it, on the ground of fraud
against the rights of the See.
Your insertiuu of this letter will oblige many of
your Readers.

On Wednesday se'nuight, some p►rsons passing the
old town of Stableten, about ten miles from Annan,
were surprised on bearing the bellowing of a row,
seesiagly in the air, end, on looking up, perceived one
very near the top of that robins, edifice. Assistance
was prucurdl, and with great daintily elm was res-
cued from bar perilous situation ; but what is moat
remarkable is them f her ascent, being up an
old winding stair shout 40 feet high, and in
places many of the steps are wanting, which makes
it difficult fair even a man to ascend. How long the
animal had remained there if 0000.91910.

Tuesday night last Hamilton Jail was broken, and
three young men, lodged on a criminal warrant, made
their escape. They bad effected their purpose by
means of a large Iran lever, four feet long, and a pick
or some othe► instrument, which bad been given these
from the outside. After getting into the Council.
room, and regaling themselves with wine, they de-
scended from the window, and got off unnoticed.
On Friday se`nnight, two dnnkeys were found in
Joiner's W.ted, Kent, helnnging to Sir J. Flogs,
adjoining Chi.let Park, tied with chaise.reins in the
shrubs, rompleiely starved to death, having devoured
ever) edible sentence within reach. It is sapplived
they wet, stolen, and tied there by some villain or
villains, who have been since apprehended, and bare
consequently left the wretched animals to mist the.
miserably.

ORANGA C'itIIIS:

We he,. received several communications eh the
subject of the riot occasioned by the silly, (remota-
floes, end we were shoot to say idolatrises, proces-
sion which disgraced the tawniest Monday last. We
revel very mach that the Utter signed I'lll.°n/quit
did not reach es in time for oar present publication.
The subject most, however, be ',gamed in err
sleet, as we foci confident that the good sense and
liberality of oar towasmen will never coluten•ace the
establishment of secret, intolerant, and Weirs: ',Deis-

infests into society a system of distrust and heart-
betnieg, die fatal effects of which hose been most
deplorably illustrated in Ireland. When we say these
Orange Associations ere illegal corehinatines, ee du
not speak from light authority : they have been so
denounced from the Beech, and in the Senste ; nor
has it ever been satisfactorily diirprove,l, that the
members are bound together by ►ecret oell.s. Some
'errs ago, an attempt was made in Msutbeste►, then
the focus of intolerance, to estehlish these kind of
professions en the itth of Jet, c • most sennas and
bloody riot was the conwrqueoce, and we endersland
that the attempt was abandoned. it is said, dist the
procession of last Monday was attended by several
Manchester m►n; end that the greater part of the
'spent, of the pas aphernalia art borne by some hem)
-Wieder* from test quarter. What tin he the.,
lobject, end from whence their fu..Js have been re-
volted on thisoccesion, we (annuls an !Mile, al•hnog..

Readers required say evidence of she intol-ra.sce, as
well as the ignorance, of acme of the par•y, we need
only state the fact that, scorn after the riot of Monday
last, one fellow with an wane., ribs., I caved at our
office, and only finding a boy within, rolled for a
number of the Liverpool Mercury; end, after paying
for it, he taro it in pieces, and throwing it to the!
ground, trampled upon it, exclaiming: " There, •
that's the way you shall b• sers•d !" And dnes the I
blockkeed suppose we shall he deterred from the dia. I
charge of our public duty, by the threats of a belly ?
Another of the body, in the neighbous hood of one of
the home where they dined, made some attempts also
to fasten a quartet upon es, in conameence, as be.
was pleased to say, of the share we bed had in the
riot, which was simply this: about a fortnight ago,
we received a letter from a Correspondent, who sidled
that be had overheard some of the Irishmen in this
town say : " Only let the Orange party walk oo
the 14th, and they *imitate shot we will do." This •
warning, the importance of which has been illustrated,
appeared to es of mooch cunceyeenee, that we should
have been guilty of an mbandouesent of our defy, had
we net published it ; as we deprecate and lament out li
-
rage as witch es we deplore intolerance. As for the',
°tinge-lodges, we knew nothing of their esistence
in Oil town, escept by vague (moor, until they
Anse to intrude their mummery in the open street'.
They sly, they had a right to walk ; and se one will
deny it. A man has a light, if he please', to walk
through a field wisere a boll may be peaceably em-
its', and he may, if be pleases, point his finger at
alkoboaa4; key he does •ilde at hie peril; and if be
.svaistoilly rouses the animal to attack him; many per-
sons will think be is very properly J, for not
keeping out of harm's way. We cannot conclude
these hasty remarks, "wisest cautioning oar Catholic
brethre agaiast suffesing themselrea to be irritated to
mess by inch silly mummery. By resetting it in
the way they did last Monday, they are injuring
their cause; and we can misers them, we heard
many persons say, " ion see what the felloWs would
do if they had their emancipation." Fu► our own
parts, we ate convinced that intolerance begets into.
titmice, and that one of the best effects of what
is termed Catholic Emancipation would be to her-
infinite the discordant members of the community,
and to pet a stop to the lamentable distinctioul of
Orangemen, Itibbonmen, Thrashers, &c. &c.—To
conclude : we virally disapprove of the conduct cf
the Orangemen, in attempting their silly pageant ;
and that of the other party, who interrupted and
rooted them ; and to she latter (for the former we
consider incorrigible) we relate the following aneca
dote, which 'plume, to us precisely in point :—Some
years age, a facetious barber in lo.orine, had the fol.
losing inscription placed conspicuously over his
door : " Shaving for the Scinieh Multitude." This
being noticed at head•querters, the operator was seta
fur by some of the agents of Goverment, and inflater,.
ed that his iirwriplion being of an inflammatory us-
tore, it was especi•d be would order ito be taken
down. The man told them flatly that he would do
no such thing; that he knee they had no right to
remove it, es he had taken Counsel's opinion on the
subject. " And pray, chat did the Counsel say ?"
envired one of these Government-agents. " Why,"
replied the barber, " he raid I was a great block.
hood to pet opsech a sign, bat you were much greeter
blockheads to take any notice of it."—(Liverpool

SINSVIAR Occueetricc.--This season, e pair of
swallows built their nest inside of the porter's ledge
at the Mak:lsis of Lothian's gate, Newbatile Abbey.
The lodge, which is a single room, 16 or 18 fret
moans is possessed by the porter and Mr wife: on
the beck wall, opposite the door, hangs a shell
clothes scree* of two testes, on the top rail of which
(oboe three or foot inch's from the ceiling) the
swallows began to build their nest, regllarly entering
by the door, end fearlessly lying across tht room.—
At the end of three weeks, having fihishettheir archi•
tecterellebners, five eggs were obrerMed in the nest,
end, slier 14 days' incubation, young ones made their
appearance, whirls are now 4O days old, and are ire.

parents feed them, alternately, shoot every five mi.

began to build, the Marquis of Lothian's'femily,
