AsorHER PSEUDO PRoPHEr.--A new super
stition has been started in Nottingham, Eng
land, by an old pensioner named Brown, who
is both lame and blind. This self-styled
prophet processes to have received from heaven
instructions to form "oircle of twelve men,
ber," who were convened for the first tins OF
his house on the 10th Of July, last year, which
day the whole members of the "Great 0rgani-
zation," as they term themselves, are COM
manded by the angel Gabriel to commemorate
annually. It is the duty Of the "oircle" to
propagate the revelations received from
heaven, and received on scroll by Gabriel
through the crystal to Brown. The crystals,
which are egg shaped, and of glass, arc sold
to enable members to purchase revelations.
Their leader publishes several periodical works,
which tho members are expected to purchase
at rather high price. Their doctrines are
sad jumble Of the vsticinations of Zadkiel
and DR.. Comming, mixed up with Owenism,
Socialism, Swedenborgsm, and divination Of

MAcAuLAY's HIsroRY OF ENGLAND AND HIS
OWN OPINION THHRBoF.---A London cores
pondent says in late letter:
Though when Lord Macaulsy begun his
history he hoped to bring it down to the limits
Of living memory, he had long ago abandoned
this hope. Latterly the utmost range he gave
himself was down to the accession of the House
of Hanover, and this he had hoped to accom-
plish in five, II not four more volumes. do
not think he would ever have so compressed his
material. The reign Of Queen Anne-with It's
statesmen, poets and sssayists-would have
been ground too tempting to his well stored
memory, and his strong love Of the writers of
that ago, for any sharp or narrow limitation.
He must have overaowed into comment, por-
traiture and criticism. Two volumes Of the
unfinished history are, I believe, 90 far ad-
vancsd 10 completeness as that we may look to
sec them brfore long. And with those two,
fear, concluding the reign Of William, and
ushering us over the threshold Of that Of Anne,
we must rest content.

fusing the religious element into politics, and
poured torrent of ridicule upon the pulpits
that ignored the importance of politico- religi-

a judicous application of religious principle,
not only to politics, but to al the duties Of
life, and expressed the opinion that until
