JESUITS IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—Archbishop Magee, the predecessor of the present Archbishop of Dublin, made the following assertion  o some cler  of his diocese, some time previous to his death re are, (said-he), at Ws moment-, mriny count—but still acting as Church of England clergymen, and in the possession of parishes, who are silently but surely working its downfall." At Glasgow a floating church has just been launched. The vessel is built of iron, perfectly flat underneath, the a I one end formed after the fashion of a bow, and the other,  son's death. It appeared that about four o'clock in the morning, James Hughes, ostler at the, Golden Eagle,. in Tu'er-street, went to the stable connected with the inn, and, on opening a window which overlooks a stream called *1 Black Brook," he saw the body of the deceased lying in the brook. The depth of water in the brook was only about three inchrs, and the upper part of the deceased's dress was quite dry. The body was removed into a stable, and the police were informed of the circumstance. Inquiries were immediately set on foot, and on the deceased's body being examined by the police sur• geon, it was found that death resulted from a severe blow received on the forehead, and which bad injured the brain. The blow appeared to have been inflicted with some heavy blunt instrument, though with sufficient edge to cut through the deceased's cap, as a hole was discovered in it at a part corresponding with the wound on the forehead. There were also some slight marks on the d. ceased's neck, as if an attempt had been made at strangulation. He had no money in his pockets; although he was known to have sold blacking to the amount of two shillings or three shillings in the course of Friday. The priocival facts which tend strongly to fix the boys Seddon and Dean with the murder, are that between ten and eleven o'clock on Friday night they were seen going with the deceased into Seddon's coal-yard, and shortly after that time a man who was passing heard a noise in the yard, and called the attention of the policeman to the circumstance ; but the policeman, on knocking at the yardgate, could obtain no answer. Mrs. Bridge, a small shopkeeper in the immediate neighbourhood, states that the deceased borrowed a candle from her about eleven o'clock that night, saying he was going to look at Seddon's " dandies," and she also states that the candle was returned to her about half an hour afterwards by the prisoner Dean. but she saw nothing of the deceased at that time. Matthew Mills, a shopkeeper near the same spot, saw the two prisoners leaving the coal-yard alone about a quarter before twelve o'clock the same n,ght ; and some time after niidn'ght, Jane Williams, who occupies a house in Tue rstreet, beard a struggle on the wound below her back bed or stern t part, quite square. The extreme length is 78 f breadth 23: and depth of iron 41 feet. Tie area of the church has a fine, raomy, and most comfortable appearance. The height from the floor, which is level with the base of the i.oat, to the Op of the c urch, is 17 feet, and in the middle of the roof there are three cupola windows which light the whole house, and these have their centre pieces moveable to act as ventilators. There are as vet no seats formed in either arcs or galleries. and it is doubtful if any will be placed till the church arrives at its destination, which is not yet definitely fixed. It is intended to ace mmodate about 700 persons.
