whom such an appeal as Mr. Wray's can be addressed with
good hope of success—an appeal which consists of an elabo-

known. ar 2.—We have lived to see the day when a Clergyman of the
A—• (um or i Church is no longer ashamed, at the first secretly and more
bitterly, afterwards publicly and still moat offensively, to
lead this crusade against his brethren. For the first time,
we presume, in the history of the Church of England, one of
ter ministers asks for aid in erecting to her a new sanc-
tuary; not because vice, and ignorance, and sin are rife
around ; not because of the prevalence of angry dissent, or
the progress of soul-destroying Popery; but that " rim
zwzsay" of our so-callei Puritanism may be dispossessed,
that the new church may be a kind of ecclesiastical battery
from which to open a fatal fire on the surrounding churches.
Truly, that Tractarian told nothing but the truth who avowed
it as the single object of his party to •" unprotestantise the
Church of England."
Lastly, the Clergyman who does this, and the party to whom
he appeals in doing it, are putting forward all the while pleas
the most peaceful and sanctified. They are pleading for
Daily Prayer and Weekly Communion ! Against such ob-
jects God forbid that I should ever even seem to oppose my-
self. But, oh ! let those who put them forward see to
themselves how they do so. It is an evil day for our Church
when her holy Love-feasts, her gracious worship, her burn-
ing intercessions, and her loving Litanies are solemnly
prostituted to the worst purposes of party strife ; when they
are openly regarded but as so many useful expedients of
strategic policy; when the practice .of these things is only
despised and hated, unless with the accompaniment of every
party badge, and the unfaltering pronunciation of every
party Shibboleth ; and when men deceive their own hearts
•by invoking the solemnities of peace, in the very act of
, levying war, and that upon their brethren.—Your faithful

COURT MARTIAL PROCEEDINGS.

(PROM TD TIMES.)

HAVE any of our readers ever assisted at an investiga-
tion before a military tribunal of this kind ? We will
endeavour to give them au idea of the same, and of the
form of proceeding.
At one end of the Infantry Barracks at Windsor, in
which the 46th Regiment is at present quartered, and
upon the ground floor, looking into the barrack-yard,
there is a somewhat long low room, papered with an ex-
cessively " seedy " green striped paper—if we remember
'-,ht—well bedaubed with stains and spotted with fly-
This room is the mess-room of the barrack. On

the floor is a dining-table capable of dining sixteen persons
with comfort, at one end of which sits the President, and
down the sides the other members of the Court, seven on
a side, in full uniform. There are three windows to' the
president's right, looking, as we before said, into the
barrack-yard, and in one of these, close to the president's
right,•sits a jocular kind of redfaced man. This is Major
Dalgetty, the Deputy-Judge-Advocate. He has before
him a little table with writing materials, and a red book—
some work on court-martial law. At a dark corner of
the room opposite to him, and close beside the president's
left hand, at a little round table, all by himself, as though
waiting for a glass of brandy-and-water before starting by
the train, the official prosecutor is to be found. At the
long table, opposite to the president and

divided from it by a feW get, is another small table,
ted poor young Perry in uniform, and 111 r
7111 adviser. At the window furthest from
Dalgetty is placed there is yet ano-
....pie of reporters, who are taking notes
g into each other's ears, as well they
constant complaints of the atrocity of the whole

may,
yroeeed-

who are constantly employed rn carrying bits of paper
about the 'court, for purposes which we shall presently
describe. The room has two doors, one at each cud.
