P.C. Custard depoiei be;na with last witness, and corroborated his statement. Both primners were "staggering drurk." For the defence prisuners said they were not so drunk as the witness mnde them out to be. Pti-oners were. tin.n charged with the assault. . . . .  P.C. Brown said that when he advised prisoners to go home roletly Wrixen guided "Who are you talking to? Ms r and withers sehl "Yet." Welton then acid "I will give you quiet, you - " and atenek at him with a plough-cent r, which he had in his hand.

QUAXIMSI FRIN)N FOR RIPURWO TO FIGHT.  In the east of Europe there are communities of persons called Nazarenes, who may be regarded as Qnaksrs, holding many of their views, especially their conscientious objections to engage in war. Dr. Ziemann lately met with some of these people in Servia, and he writes as follows concerning them There are here about nine families marked by the public an " " and very pious. From all I have been ebb to leain they belong to& sect in doctrine and practice very similar to the worthy Friends in England. To-day I visited them in the fortress. I found the governor most favourably disposed towards them. He told me that two had just completed five yews' servitude for refusing to carry arms. A few dap' after their discharge the late war broke out, theywere called out again, and of course they offered to do anything in their power by way of serving the Government, except to carry arms. The Governor accompanied me into the prison yard. They were out, and the Governor explained to me that they were sentenced to " labour," but he used them mostly for field or garden work. They were sent for. They came—bang, bang, heavy chains on their feet, clothed in ominous grey prison garb, led by an armed guard. Only two genie ;one is a pliant ht the Lazaretto. These two lokd not ill, neither dommeast, just the reverse; their faces had a calm peaceful look. Theg did not complain, neither did they burst out with a show of their martyrdom. Reserved, and exceedingly reeekrthey answered riskily my gnestions, cerg to me what I had heard already, that they would rather die than iNya "because God had forbidden to murder." and the-prison they could endure, but to d' they would not, and dare not. Did they feel unhappy? I asked. There ~were tears in their eyes • but, said the one," The Lord Jeans Christ had toad his disciples beforehand that they would have to suffer, and then eternal life ! " leaked if I could do anything fof them ; they looked long and steadily at each other, and then timidly begged, " Pould.X obtain for them the permission to read the Bible in cells?" I cannot tell you what I felt as I stood before these martyrs of God. I think if the Friends in England would move in the matter and send a petition, or perhaps a deputation, to the Government here it would have weight and restore them to liberty. Pray consider what is beet to be done." Virr. Zieonann, writing last week on his way back to the vicinity of the seat of the was, adds the following "Besides the permiesion for the prisoners to read their Bibles, I also succeeded in getting their chains taken cif; and the Society of Friends in London have sent, through Lord Derby, a petition to Prince Milan, of which I take a copy to the Princess, making for their deliverance."

THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE."  have read Father liader's two lectures on "The Infallibility of the Pope," and must cenfees to being amazed that any one (except he be sublimely superstitious or ignorant or both) being led away by such specious arguments. Ats fa as infallibility can be had r" all in this crooked world. the Popoe is no more free front fallibility than Abdul-the-Damned is or was. That monster (like many proved monsters of Pupas) a tr.' very much on the way to infallibility till the tuned "Young Turkish Revolution "—with educated Merl at its head—dashed the "Keeper of the [ Faithful" from his gory throne in Constantinople, the Sublime Porte thus falling to the ridiculous, and in the same manner the Popes of Rome have becn infallible—as long as Europe was in the bondage of ignorance and superstition. and WA, still subject to popes, cardinag,, and priests. Thank God Mart,,, Lu4,lter and other martyrs and champions .with the help of the Teutonic (not Celtic) sword, threw off the baleful yoke, and, I hope, Inc ever. I would like to ask the Rev. Father Bader whether Pope Leo X, whom Thomas Carlyle called an 'Elegant Pagan," was "infallible." In order to raise money to build the grandest church in the world at Rome he bethought hinself of a good doege lie determined to resort to the sale of indulgences—pardons for sin—and decided to send out t }trough Christendom. l'y din ingui shed person.. Friars, priests, 450.. letters of indulgenceo, or pardons which could be bough' off these Papist. ekern. A regular tariff was fixed. A pardon for polygamy could be °Wanted for six ducats. that for sacrilege and perjury cost nine. forgiveness for murder tour eight, while alx-olution for sets of a less criminal nature coud he obtained for smaller sums. Thus were hawked throughout the tow Its tud villages of Christendom three pardons es us pedlar hawked hi' wares. I can tell Father Bader who was the man, and a monk at that, who rose up in his Saxon wrath and defied the Pope, cardinals, priests. and all the power of Rome, and threw their hawked indulgences and Bulls of IMCOlllmunication and threats into the fire. It was Martin Luther. Aid for that Pope Leo X. tried to get hint burnt. I presunte after this little exposure of pope and Irte,ts that the less said of infallibility the better. I can give Father Bader other points ii he wishes for them. Dr. John Tetzel. the Dominican Friar appointed by the Pope to bauk indulgence. in the Saxony Bishopric, entered each town in state thawn in a gaudy carriage by a lila, pair of hare., and was announced before the officials of the town clad in their official robes by a herald, who, in a  _ loud voice cried out, "The Grace of God and of the 11My Father is at your gates.” The strong box to contain the money *sus piaci d near the altars of the church, and Tetael mounted the pulpits and cried out, The 111C111e111 the money touches the bottom of that box," and he thumps on tip, musket, "the soul a capes purga:ory and flies straight to Paradise."

He warns her of the risk she I runs. but finally yields to her entreaties by changing her while she sleeps into the form of a beautiful girl.

TEE GREAT BILLIARD WATCH: C. DAWSON.  In my last letter I briefly referred to the great billiard match between Dawso,i and John Roberts, junior, for £2,000, the hit er conceding 9,000 in 24,000 points, the same as lie has already successfully done this season to Diggle, Peall and Mitchell. In my opinion Dawson is the coming player. Barring Roberts, he is unquestionably ' the best spot-barred player in England, and his offer to play anyone except Roberts, for 131,000, has met with no response. Dawson, who is about 27 years of age, Is a native of Huddersfield, and gained his first Insight into the fascinating game of billiards when, as a boy, he officiated as a marker at the Central Library Club in his native town. His parents, however, would not let young Dawson grow up to manhood's estate without the knowledge of a trade, and until 21 .Dawson served his apprenticeship as a beak] and reedmaker. 1 his, however, did not destroy his love for billiards. The young artisan regularly found his way to the table, and pool was a favourite diversion. Pool Is a wonderful game to train a player, for in add itlon to the practice at winning hazards there is always the ulterior object of leaving one's own ball out of harm. After 21 Dawson devoted himself to billiards more assiduously than ever, and In 18137 his friends matched him for £lOO aside against John Roberts, jun., who conceded his opponent 9,000 In 12,000 up. Roberts only scored 8,730, Dawson winning very easily. Dawson, who then became a marker, took part in the Jubilee Tournament lii London, won by McNeil, in the name of Harrington, of Glasgow, and, moreover, he was in the last four. Then he comps ted in the AJI England Tournament at the Westminster Aquarium. There were no fewer than 72 entrants, and Dawson received 180 in heats of 800, with the result that he reached the final siege. He had, however, to bee:lntent with the second prise, although he: added to his reputation by making the biggest break of the tourney, namely, LW Be was, too, the first boldeelpf the Lancashire and Yorkshire Championship Challenge Cup, and now enjoys the position of being only second to Roberts. His great apot-barreTd break of 098, made last week. is surpassed by the 737 of the only Roberts. The issue of the present mate& will be keenly anticipated.
