CAPTAIN OF STEAMER BRITANNIA
DROWNED. The, steamship Britannia,
which sailed from Glasgow on the 18th
day of December, with1twenty cabin
passengers and two hundred and twelve
steerage passengers, arrived at New
York on Wednesday, after having en-
countered very severe storm, in
which her Captain, John Campbell, was
lost. There were heavy westerly gales
during the entire voyage. On the 22d
ultimo the gale was furious; the waves
ran so high that it became necessary for
the vessel to -'heave to''under close reef
ed sails. She shipped. however, large
quantities of water; two of her boats
were destroyed, and two were lost; the
wheelhouse of Me steamer was broken
down and slight damage occurred. At
eleven o'clock at night, in the heighth
of the storm, while much water was on
deck and the vessel was rolling heavily
the Captain went aft towards the wheel
aud was lost 1t is believed that he was
washed overheard. He was twtnty
eight years of age, and belonged tc
I Roseheatl, Scotland. The vesael rod,
out the storm without other injurje,
than those already mentioned.

EXCITEMENT IN THE EsTABLIsnED
CHURCH OF ENGLAND -PRoPosED RE
UNION WITH ROME. The pracicability
and desrableness Ola reunion of the
Established Church with Rome is q
question which has been started by
some Of the leading High Churchmen,
and already parties are pronouncing pro
and con in England. Among those who
have pronounced against 1t is Canon
McNeile, who contends that the idea Of
reunion with Rome showed on the part
OF its Originat0rs a greater Acquaintance 20
with books than with men, and that
such step was impracticable, If for 10
other reason, because the Church IT
Rome met all propositions for mutual
concession by the claim to implicit au-
thOrity. The journals, too. are taking
part in the controversy. The Lond. a
Horning Post says: 1.-The leaders OF the
new movement are men with whom The
vast majority of the people have ~
sympathy, and the consequence may lie
very disastrous: 1t is not difficult TO see
that when reaction does take place it
will be in the direction of Il rush TO Par
lament for the interference of the civil
power. Already the first warning notes
of that strife are being heard. The
Bishop of London, it is believed, will
lose no time in bringing under the no.
tice of Parliament the present working
of the Rubric respecting the dress of min
listers and the ornaments of the Church.
His obi ect will be 10 get that Rubrio
repealed, and there is no reason to doubt
that he will be warmly sustained by the
author of the celebrated Durham ] ct
ter,p now at the head of the Govern
ment. The first effect of any such ten
by the Bishop of London will be the
division of the Church into two new
parties, and the provocation of a cont est
far more alarming than we have had
since the Gorham case. Ii, when that
strife comes. there should be a strong
anti-Church party in the House of Coms
mOns-a Royal commission on Ru-
brics-a portentous tampering with the
Prayer book number of new and mar
row restrictions and great loss of the
liturgical freedom which is now en-
joyed-in that day of utter confusion
and discontinue, the burners ofincense,
and the bearers of obsolete vestments
will only have themselves to thank for
the mischief they have wrought aud the
penalty they will have TO pay. 1t is only
justice to some great names hitherto as
ISOLATED with the school of which those
Ritualists are an offshot, TO add that
amongst the advocates of cores and
chasubles, masses aud incense, and all
the extreme nonsense which have made
some London churches notorious, there
is not one name of note.n
