and wine in the sacrament are converted when consecrated by the clergy, into the ac- tual flesh and blood Of Christ, and that :he sacrament constitutes kind of continuation of the ntOnement of Christ on the cross. It , Is for maintaining these two latter points in a l sermon preached in the Cathedral of Oxford, Ihvce weeks ago, that Dr. Pusey has been convicted of Popish heresy by a board of divincs, and sentenced by the Vice Chan cellor 10 two yeers prohibition from preach ing within the precints of the university l The board of divines, six in number, scpera. ted without coming to Q formal decision {; but they afterward sevcrally gave in their decision, and were unanimous in their con- demnation of the sermon, as advocating her. esy.
 Dr. Pusey has entered his protest agains, the decision of the board and the sentence of the Vice Chancellor. on the ground that he was not heard tn his defence, and that the objectional parts of his sermon were not specified. A requisi,ion signed by about sixty members of convocation and bachelors of civil law, has been forwarded to the Vice Chancellor, requesting him to point out the 1 ohjectional parts of Dr.. Pusey's sermon.- The Vice Chancellor has refused to comply with their request, though before passing sentence, he furnished Dr.. Pnsey privately 1 with the grounds on which he condemned his sermon. The sermon, it is understood, will be published in few days, and will, doubtless, excite intense interest.
 Puseyism has mnde extraordinary pro. .gress in the church within the last three years. It is calculated that out of l2,O00 clergy in England and Wales, 900O,or three fourihs of the whole, are deeply tainted with it. In Scotland, again, the whole of the E. piscopal clergy, with the exception of three or four, are decided Puseyites. In Ireland, also, the heresy is making alarming pro. gress. It is calculated that the majority of :he bench of Bishops are more or less deep l ly tinged with it. Those of the prelates who most openly advocate Puseyite pnciples are the Bishop of Exeter, the Bishop of Lon. don, and the Bishop of Oxford. Among the churches and chapels in London in which Puseyite practice prevails to the greatest extent will be found ShOreditch Church and Margaret street Chapel Oxford street. In the latter place it would be difficult to 1 perceive any difference between the form ot 1 worship and that observed in Roman Cath. olic Church. ln many of the Puseyite churches and chapels. daily worship has been tablished, and in all of them, we be. lieve, the sacrament is administered weekly. We understand it is likely the subject will soon be brought before Parliament, and the question to be determined will be whether a
 
 pay from E6.0O0OO0 to E7,0O0,O00 year to the established clergy for inculcating Pc. pish principles, and observing Popish prnc' | tices in their places of worship, in entire disregard of the solemn engagements they came under nt their ordination to maintain The Protestant reljgioa of ,he land. INGENUITY OF THErvRs IN MEx1co-The Chevaliers d'Industrie of Mexico excel in shrewdness, it would seem, those of China,or of any other country. Brantz Mayer, Esq. late our Secretary of Legation at Mexico. in n lecture at Baltimore, recently related the following anecdote:
 | "A worthy judge of one of the Mexican courts, one morning entering the edifice 10 l take his seat on the bench was about 10 refer | to his gold watch, when he discovered it was not in his pocket. 'Ah! us usual,' he re. marked aloud to a friend, I have left my watch under my pillow and proceeded forthwith to the discharge of the duties of the day these concluded, he returned home to dinner, which being also dispatched, he though, of his watch, and asked his wife to send foI it. Send for it, said she with no little surprise, why. have you not got it. my dcarr 'No, my dear, indeed have not Well that is exceedingly strange lsent t to you three hours ago.
 Sent 1t to me, and by whom?' Why, n. bout an hour after you were gone this morn. ing, genteel dressed man came to the house accompanied by boy bearing splendid turkey which he said you had bought of an indian on your way to court, and requested him to see it delivered at ihe house, with n request that should have it picked and put away to cool, as you intended to invite your brother judges home with you to dinner tomorrow. He then added that you had left yoar watch under your pillow. and had desired him to obtain il from me for the purpose of carrying it 10 yOu.'
 l Of course the vexatiOn and annoyance of the worthy judge will be easily understood it was, however, sootbed by an hours refec- tion upon the rascaI's ingenuity, and his cog itations had also led him 10 improve the fel- lows hint, and invite his brothers of the bench on the following day. Accordingly, the next morning, he ordered the turkey to be cooked for dinner, and on tho adjourn ment of the court, having related to tho as. sociatcd judges the costly trick of the pre-. ceding day, returned home with them to en- joy the turkey, which had been 50 dearly bought.
 l Bot what was his surprise to find dinner prepared, and uo turkey 10 grace the tOard. | Where is the turkey, my dear ' he quietly inquired of his worthy lady. The turkey she exclaimed-'whai, haven't you seen it nj | courr At court my dear-why, what should the turkey be doing at court! 'Is it possible,' she exclaimed, that have again been duped by villain !-'tlow now' said the Judge.
 ~Why after you were gone couple of hours this morn!ng. pale faced young man with shabby genteel dress came to the
