Glory OF THE SUB.TREAsURY. A fnan-
cial farce was performed yesterday in which.a
we'll known White Horse was the principal acs
tor. The Sub-Treasury had draft on bank in
wall-st, Tor $4,000, and the bank had draft on
on the Sub Treasury for $6l 900. Any two bus
mess men whose sconces were OF ordinary thick
ness would have settled 1t by very easy process;
the Sub Treasury would have paid the bank the
balance, $iI 900, and no trouble made. Not so
this light in money matters. First, he sends a
Government porter with $6l 900 in,gold, in seal
ed bags, to the bank, and then the messenger Jugs
back $4,000 OF the same gold with the seal UNI
borken. This would have been enough for mere
every day genius, but not tor this leep-thinking,
astute Sub-Treasury. He breaks open the bags,
on which his own seal was yet fresh, and solemn
~ counts over the gold and at last restores it
with perfect satisfaction 10 his strong box and
then goes home TO dinner after having achieved
an operation equaled only by the atempt to send
letter y Washington on the wires of the Mag
netic Telegraph Tribune.

The SPIRIT OF ToLERATIoN On the 10Th
OF January, the Bishop of Norwich, England, de-
hvered a sermon IN the cathedral of that city, on
the text from Isaiah XXI II. The sermon was
In commemoraton OF JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY,
whose death had occurred few DAYS before and
whose virtues and usefulness are the subject of
the most exalted encomiums. The following ex-
tract from the Bishops sermon is quite remarka-
bic, considering its source, and that the refer
ence was to Quaker acriter and preacher:
"He who is removed from amongst us, and
whose death every member OF the Church must
deplore, it is true, was not of our community !:
but who will be bold enough in intolerance to
say that thereby, or in consequence thereof, his
salvation was in jeopardy. tan we doubt that
he was in danger whose peaceful life was an I'M
wearied comment on Evangelical Christianity in
its fullest and most expanded sense, OF whom it
may be said to the very letter, When the ear
heard him then it blessed him, and when the eve
saw him it gave witness to him, because he deIiv
cred the poor that cried and the fatherless; the
blessing came upon him, for he caused the
hearts of all to sing for joy To give a mo-
ments heed to doubt of his acceptance on the
score of differing from us in church membership,
would be indeed and in verify mockery OF the
Bible, perversion OF Gospel truth, libel upon
Christianity itself. Let it not be said that | am
giving utterance to an opinion at variance with
the language of our church, since its 18th article
maintains that he is censurabie who presumes to
say that every man shall be saved by the sect or
creed which he professeth. l do verify
believe in the words OF the same article that the
name OF the Lord Jesus Christ is the only one
whereby men can be saved and 6rmer be-
lever in the merits of that saviour, it were diff
cult to find, than the humble minded Christian
who is the subject of these remarks
The same paper which contains report of
this sermon, states that the muffled bells of the
Cathedral and other churches of the city were
tolled during the tuneral-that from the period
OF his lamented death TO his interment, the
private houses, shops, and other places OF bust
ness were closed-that on the following Sunday
various sermons from the pulpits OF the establish
ed and dissenting clergy, were preached in his
honor, and that the newspapers appeare1 in
mourning. He was doubtless great and good
man, to have earned so many tokens of private
affection and public respect. Many OF our read
ers no doubt remember his recent visit to this
country, and the high regard which his religious
and philanthropc character attracted, not only
from persons OF his own denomination, but from
the public at large. This distinguished Friend
was brother of the celebrated Elizabeth Fry,
who did as much to exat human nature as TO en-
noble the unsmbitous state to which she belong

STATE OF IRELAND.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Bray, ireland, Feb. 1, 1347, says:
1t would require great stocism or great wealth
to live comfortable in Ireland now. Day by day
the state OF the country IS becoming more fear
full; even into the more favored districts famine
and the fever are stealthly creeping. Skibbe-
reen is complete grave yard Belfast is begin
ming to suffer; the Poor Houses. overcrowded,
have generated most malignant fever, which is
sweeping across the country like storm. In
Dublin and other places the bread carts are guar
ded by Policemen, and this precaution is often

furnishing crowd. :" There is not a months pro-
vision IN Wexford; y so said Mr.. Walker. a gen.
teman of that County at the meeting of the land

or three months money will be valueess, as there
then will be no food to purchase. was
telling me that the distress in his Parish is heart
rending; and yet. in comparison with other parts
oil ireland, they are living in abundance. The
other day the men on the public works turned
out for higher wages; go of them were coming
down to sack Bray; the Overseer fastened to
Father Roach, Parish Priest, and he, with the
greatest difficulty, prevailed on them TO return to
their work. He says he never saw men so fero-
clous. Can we wonder? They earn IS. week,

we, who are in comparative comfort, feel pretty
severely the pressure of the times.

TOBACCO in ENGLAND. But few in this
country have any thing like an adequate idea of
the immense amount of tabacco annually consul
med in England. According to official returns,
Great Britain Consumed in 1916, twentysix mil
lions five hundred and ftty.seven thousand one
hundred and forty three pounds OF tobacco, which
at three shilings sterling, or sixty-seven cents
per pound duty, put into her treasury nearly
eighteen millions of dollars. The stock of tobac-
co on hand in the kingdom on the first of Janua-
ry, 1847, reached the large quantity of 59,255
hogsheads, which, when consumed, will put into
the British treasury the sum of about forty seven
millions of dollars. The London correspondence
OF the Boston Traveller says that there is some
prospect that the present enormous duty upon
Tobacco imported into England, will be consider
ably reduced. Our Minister to that Court has,
it is said, already brought this subject before
some influential members of Parliament, and has
urged the importance Of a great reduction in the
duties.
