The fashion of selling pools on trots is
daily becoming more disastrous to the masses,
who are wont TO base their opinions and bet
their money on the ayorite as named by the
pool auctioneer, who for the time acts as wire
puler for the knowing ones Of the troiting ring.
This season has demonstrated that the choice
horse in these pools generally loses a shoe, be-
comes manageable, or is withdrawn or ruled
out in a deciding heat, and some nag that has
sold cheap in the field steps to the front and car
ries of the first money and the honors. When
half dozen or more horses start, the expert
drivers can so control matters that only old prac
titioners in this trotting game able TO detect
their tricks. These, us rule, ore posted in time
to prevent any grumbling at the result; for the
managers know that noviccs seldom dare TO
growl, and that old turfmen always do when they
are sold. 1t is said that by taking the field
against the favonte in the pools the better will
win seven times out of ten during trotting
season.

The Church Weekly, an organ in this city
Of tho advanced Ritualists, expresses regret at
the recent return Of several Roman Catholic con-
verts to the Anglican communion, and assigns
reason which, If msti6abe under peculiar cir
cumstances in secular matters as good policy, is
nevertheless contrary to good morals The
writer argues that these persons, being dissatis-
fed and undis .pncd Roman Catholics, can, by
remaining in that communion, exercise more
bcuefccnt influence on the Church at large than
by returning to the communion 10 which their
wishes and convictions would naturally lead
them DIR. NgwNAN, who may perhaps be in
eludcd in this category, would, he thinks, make
a great mistake m returning TO the Church to
which he owed his first allegiance. Where he
is" he says, " il his life is spared, with his
learning his conscieDtiousness, his caution, and
his great intellect, he may become a great power
for good. And where he is, whether he comes
10 see a great crisis in the Papaey or no, his
writings rs member Of the Roman obedience
exercise an influence on all the Church which
would be utterly lost by his reverson. We sim
ccrely hope he may be able to remain as he is
and where he is" And he proceeds to show
that the method of NEwNAS's defence is a more
terrible weakening Of the extreme positions Of
the Uhramontane party than any possible attack
which he could deliver from the Anglican side.
This may be all very true. But suppcsing
that Dr. NEWMAN sincerely desires TO return TO
the Church of England, is he to be restrained
because his writings as quasi Roman Catholic
may possibly help TO overthrow the Papai
hierachyi The writer in the Church VeekIy
adheres to the Protestant Episcopal Church,
we suppose, because he believes that to
be a true and incorrupt communion. All
other forms Of religious belief must there
fore in his opinion, be more OF less tainted
with error lie nevertheless couusels an un-
willing brother TO remain in a corrupt church
because the great body of Christians will be
the gamers by it. BY parity Of reasoning he
would probably advise Buddhist who is willing
to be converted to Christianity to stick to Budd-
hism. and confound the heather. Jews, Turks,
and infdcls would be urged to cling to their old
beliefs In short the disingenuous and danger
