THE WORKING CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. —The Church and State Gazette, in its last number, supplies a statistical description of this class of the Established Clergy ; and founds upon it an earnest appeal in their behalf. The document states that, " Of these curates there are 3,088 who are so to non-resident incumbents; 1,720 who are resident in glebe-houses; and 1,722 to resident incumbents. Of the 3,088 curates who are so to non-resident incumbents, 295 receive incomes under £5O per annum ; 493 under £6O ; 231 under £7O; 379 under £80; 395 under £9O; 111 under £100; 493 under £110; 33 under £120; 256 under £l3O ' • 30 under £140; 11 under £150; 190 under £160; 32 from £l6O, and under £310; two each Sunday service 20s„ 215., and 425. ; four who receive the pew-rents as the whole of their income ; 66 who take the whole income of the living ; 40 who receive no stipend at all; and 27 miscellaneous.

About four o'clock one of thetn returned home vomiting dreadfully, and shortly aftewards the other came home similarly affected. Both complained of violent pain and beat in the stomach of which also the other two complained, and were shortly afterwards se.zed with vomiting. A surgeon was promptly called in, who, on seeing the children, and ascertaining what they had eaten, declared they had been poisoned by the paint with which the figures were coloured. Proper remedies wete immediately applied, but all efforts to .his vomiting were unsucce.ssful until eleven o'clockex at ......riv  tar as the average salar  ,—Captain Shenley, who some shor a young lady of fifteen years of ag  stop mu vs-- .... night, by which time two of the children were mai., -hausted. On Thursday they were rather better, and it was considered they were likely to recover. It was also ascertained that one of the children of the person by whom the cake was sent had been similarly seized. A very curious case came before the civil tribunal on Friday last. The circumstances ar, as follow:—Madame Guilmard, a corset-maker in the Passage Saumon, suffered so severely from grief for the death of three children, and lastly of her husband, that she completely lost her reason, and was ty of a thousand acts of extravagance. Whenever a hbour, or even a customer, came to her, she required to kiss the portrait o her deceased husband, and caressed or abused them as they either complied or refused to At times she made attempts to -, herself with a razor, or  time from the United.

Several men were brought to her as a match, but they all, on becoming acquainted with the real state of the case, shrank from the proposed union. At length a person named Faure, employed in the prefecture, from motives which must be evident, as Madame Guilmard was known to be in prosperous circumstances, agreed to form the alliance. ---., was performed on the 29th April last, and • __ ...„td_ under the delu ut two :onsists  of real estate in Pittsburg—no small fortune for this gallant son of Mais to " storm and-rapture." It is bequeathed to her under the will of her grandfather, the late General O'Hara. The Pennsylvania legislature passed an act setting aside this legacy, and giving the revenues to the trustee ; but it may be supposed that such a law is null and void and of no effect in a court of law and equity. It is most probable, if the law thus passed be correctly represented, that the lady's ultimate right to the property is fully conceded, and only prevents her claiming it until she becomes of age. At the time of her elopement she resided at Mrs. Inglis's seminary, at Staten Island. Captain Shenley, immediately after his nuptials, came to England, and was with his lady presented to her Majesty on his appointment.
