| SIR CHARLES METCALFK I'VE take the follow
ing from the London Spectator Sir Charles Met
calte is dying Il is useless conceal this deplora-
BILE intelligence much as il will grieve all whom II
reaches. 1t is well known that Sir Charles suffered
for many years from some cancer like tumor in his
ace, and that one object of his return from Jana-
ca was to undergo an operation. A second opera
| ton, we believe, was performed in Canada /; but
| the insldous advance OF the malady has not been

one eye. Nevertheless, so complete sthe Sufferers

dare not wish delay to that relief. A correspondent
of the Times says that he has had the pleasure Of
corresponding with the medical attendant, whom
the present government sent out, on the recon-
mendation OF the first medical authority and il is
of the greatest pleasure to be able to s:ate
that valuable life as Sir Charles Met
calfe's is not in the imminent danger represented.
Another correspondent OF the same paper says--the
nearest relative that Sir Charles Metcae has in this
| country, received on the 3lst of December last,
letter from him, dated Montreal, 1lth of December,
written with his own hand, in more cheerful tone
than those that have been lately received. The
distressing account therefore, In the Spectator must
saft ly be exaggerated.
PUsEYIsM.-Another important movement has
taken place in the diocese Of Exeter. This is no
less than the adoption, at most influential meet
ing in the Cathedral city, OF a memorial to her Ma
esy, as the temporal head of the church, to order
revision OF the rubrlc, with the view TO the set
dement, OF the existing disputes, and to the eecting
OF such alterations in the prescribed forms Of the
church as the lapse OF time may have rendered ne
cessary. The memorial, together with the resolu
lions entered into in coanexion with 1t, will be
iouod in another place. They are credtable alike

which Is truly anmating, and which will call forth

the land. i Is, to be sure, rather too great com
pliment to the Puseyite medders TO ask for . rev
sion OF the rublc because they have chosen to rae
up forgotten CUSTOMS and have disturbed the church
IN the endeavor TO sain Tor themselves small
aotorlety IN the only way in which they could
nope to attain it. But the countenance thew have

and good sense enough among the Protestant peo-
pie OF England to secure their ready acquiescence

aience, emanatiDg from competent authority, and,

With regard to a revision Of the rubric consider

think, of its desrableness and since we read the
