YORK—than whom there is none of the bishops more quick to discern the Signs of the times—has movement. It wgiaav entimcoeu,nitnedneaenz tthoatthhe temperance e did so. When a Roman Catholic Archbishop appeared on a temperance platform in company with Nonconformist ministers, when Rome on the one side and Dissent on the other, acknowledged the importance of temperance, the English Church, if it would not lose its hold on the masses altogether, was compelled to give its adhesion, far too tardily, yet, as we trust, not too late. Another practical question discussed at Liverpool was the granting greater liberty of action with regard to Church services. This freedom was once contended for by the Low Church party, in order that they it, in order to add Prescribed services. The Hmiigghht Cohmuiret poh prtiartonys advocatenoofwthe other services. There is no reason why both parties should not have their wish, and no doubt, before long, both will be acting in similar ways. Everybody knows that the " dearly beloved'' does not meet all the wants of all classes and on all occasions. There are times when the present order of morning and evening prayer might be advantageously modified. A short service for children, a short service for men of business on week days, special services for missions, harvest festivals, school-feasts, consecration of churches—all these might be either added to the Prayer-book, or left to the judgment of the bishops or of the parochial clergy. There ought to be greater power given to omit and select from the existing services. For instance, there can be no reason why men of business, anxious to attend the daily service, should have to go through twice, or even once, a day the prayers for the QUEEN and the Royal Family. A third practical question which has been advanced by the Congress is the weekly offertory. It has been the more helped because its opponents came forward, and, we believe for the first time, openly avowed their dislike to it, and stated their reasons for that dislike. The reasons could not stand the light of a free discussion. We trust that the antagonism has now been modified. At all events the objections urged against the offertory will cease to have weight with those persons who are open to conviction. Altogether, the Liverpool Congress, which, at one time, threatened to be the occasion of strife, has tended to peace and unity.  On the 6th instant we published, on the authority of a morning contemporary, in whose columns it had previously appeared, a statement to the effect that Samuel Deadman, who was tried with another prisoner at the Kent Assizes in January, 1868, for the murder of Jane Jackson, at Bromley, had lately died, having made a full confession of his guilt. 'We are now authentically informed that there is not the slightest foundation for this statement. Mr. Deadman is alive to claim protection against reports so injurious as that we have mentioned. We publish this rectification with sincere pleasure, and deeply regret that our columns should have given currency to an imputation so grave and unjust.
