Hampden 10 one Of most interesting character.
1t appears that the learned divine has ever been
determined opponent of Puseyism, and for this
has incurred the enmty of the whole ofthat party
at Oxford and Cambr dge. Some time ago this
party, to serve their purpose, agitated the faua-
tic war cry of heterodoxy or Socinianism
against the doctor, but were not very success
full. He obtained subsequently the Professorship
OF Divinity at Oxford, and on the death OF the
Archbishop of York, few weeks ago, he was
appointed by Lord John Russell to the See OF
Hereford, vacated by the transference of its for
mer bishop to that Of York This rekinded the

10 THIS remonstrance the premier replied in a
manner worthy OF the descendant OF the once
famed Protestant, Lord w. RUSSELL by plainly
telling them, that as the opposition raised TO Dr.
Hampden previously, and to which thew had
polntedly alluded, had been entirely led by par
Ties who, tor the most part, had since gone over
to Rome, he could see reason to alter his
opinion on that ground Again the fierce Hen
ry rushed to the encounter, and again his lance
was broken. Dean Mere wether next tried his
hand, addressed Her Majesty, and received a
very cool reply from Sir G.. Grey, acknowledge

from the announcement just made that Mrs. Lii

Whilst the expenditure in every department of
the country is increasing rapidly, crime and
poverty are keeping pace 1t is heart-rending to
read the many cases of murder, and those often
OF most unnatural character, which appear in
the English prints from time to time. Parents
butchering their children-chlldren numbering
their parents-these, and such like, meet the eye
In every weekly journal; and yet we point to
| Ireland. There Is, at least, a "method in the
madness" of that misguided race, One can con-
OF the father who has seen his family turned out
on the cold face of the world, in the midst of
winter, being instigated by the deep feeling of
revenge, so inherent to human nature, to take
| vengeance upon him who he concelves to be the
| oppressor OF his wife and little ones. This,
say, may be conceived; nay, it may be expected;
but Tor mother to murder her infant children,
by cutting their throats, and holding them bleed
! ing over a tub, as has lately been the case. is a
| crime so monstrous as to shock every sensibihty
of our nature. Speed, whose case came on Tor
he nj fhP hnrr nnho Il,
| ago, aud who was sentenced to be executed for
the murder of his children, has been respited.-
+ The trial for the murder at Mllied, of Caroline
Els, on the 18th Of May, 1917, came on at the
late FORK Assizes; and although the evidence
was entirely circumstantial, the prisoners, Reid
and McCabe, were both found guilty and senten-
| ced to he executed. Since that time, however,
Reid has declared himself the murderer, and
| McCabe to be innocent. The latter had, all
along, asserted his innocence. 1t is supposed his
punishment will be commued to transportation.
A case which has excited the greatest sensa-
ton among the higher classes, has just been con-
cluded IN the Court OF Queens Bench, London,
where Sir w. Young and Captain Cnanette were
tired and found guilty of being concerned in the
| sale OF cadetship In the East India Company,
OF which the former was director He Is most
highly connected-being father of the late Lord
OF the Treasury, and connected by marriage with
the Headtort family. 1t is said his means are
ample, and, if SO, small fne will be the punish
ment he will most probably receive.
