UNITY IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.  (Prom the Stattdard.) Unity In the Church of England has hitherto been preserved by a general understanding among both clergy and laity-that the Reformation settlement was not to be disturbed. Tne High Church party might object to that settlement ou one ground and the Low Church party on another. But after a good many struggles both agreed to acquiesce in it, as a compromise which, however unpalatable in entne points, sacrificed nothing which either party thought essential. There was no intention on the part even of, the earlier Tractarians to reverse this settlement. All that they desired was to bring out its true character, and to ; show that the Church of England, while recognising certain Protestant principles, had never intended to abandon her Catholic .dogmas. They were loyal, therefore, to the Reformation, though they-might have wished it had been differently carried out. But We have now to deal with a class of men who openly pro- t claim their resolution to undo, if possible, the work of the sixteenth century, and to take the Church of England back to what she was before her quarrel with the Papacy. This is a vastly different thing from the ;ordinary .High Church theory, even at its very highest. The eitreme Ritualist, whose object It is to " de-Protestantise " the Church of England, aims at nothing less than subverting a part of the English Constitution. What should we think of any body of politicians who banded together to restote the government of this country to what It was before the Revolution? Yet the one scheme is little, if at all, less monstrous than the other. We desire no persecution. Let Anglo-Catholicism have all the liberty shich the terms of the Reformatim reserve for it. But people who reject those tennis place themselves, beyond the pale of toleration, and have no right to grumble If they find that they cannot break the law with impunity.  ----The steamer limes, of Leith, which was in collision with a Russian brie off Flamborough Heed last week, ' arrived safely at Rotterdam on Monday.

Paul Nicart, who is just dead, was a theatrical celebrity, who has been forgotten by the old genera thin and unknown to the new.
