ENGLISH EXTRACTS.

The Parliamentary Session of 1854 was brought to a close on tbe 12ih August by Her Majesty in persoo. It has been remarkable for the number of Goverumeot dt feats and legislative failures which have been scattered through its proceedings. Every measure of importance has been either withdrawn, mortified, or defeated. Even the Bribery Bill, deemed so essential by all parties, with the exception of Colonel Slbthorpe, has been limited in its operation to one year. In fart, it would be far easier to name tbe failures than the successes. Amongst the recent deaths may be mentioned those of the King of Saxony and Viscount Joceyin, M.P. for King^s , Lynn. j&rjujSL 'wa*s*lhTowirfrom his cani3ge ana killed iy a kick of one of the horses ; the laiter fell a victim to cholera, which epidemic has been for some time carrying off large numbers, chiefly or tbe poor and badly- housed inhabitants. As many as 688 have died during one week. A fine Clyde ship of 600 tons, bound from Glasgow to Montreal, was totally destroyed by are ou the 3rd instant, shortly after quitting port. No lives were lost, though a number of passengers were on board ; the fire is supposed to have arisen from some combustible matters amongst the cargo. A highly interesting document has just been published by the Board of Trade showing the proportions in which our exports of 1853, were by different countries. la most foreign countiies there was, if anything a Jailing off in the amouiit of British goods taken, but on the other our Colonial possessions have made rapid strides, reachiug the enormous sum of £33, 000,000, or one-third of the entire imports : of this, Australia has taken fourteen millions in 1852. The United Stiles ha& increased her purchases by four millions. In London it is whispered that it is in contend" plaiion 10 run the alternate monthly steamer to and from Australia to Aden direct, in place of making for Singapore. Freemasonry. — Lord Panmure is installed into the office of Provincial Grand Master, to which he was appointed by the Grand Lodge of Scotlaud, on the demise of his Lordship's father. Five Sisters of Charity have left Paris to join the French Hospital ships in the Baltic. A French steam frigate arrived at Marseilles from Alexandretta with sixteen beautiful Arab horses for the French Emperor. They are valued at £1000 each. The Mormon Governor Young has established friendly relations w.th the ludians at Utah* The Deseret News publishes some letters written by a saint to her sister in New Hampshire, in defence of polygamy on scriptural grounds. *' lam happy, very happy," she writes, " and I live agreeably to the will of the Lord. My husband has six other wives, whom he loves equally, and whom 1 esteem as sisters. Our children, united, are twenty-four in number. Peace is in the house." Though wine will be scarce in Piedmont, there will be more than there was last year. . The crop of Indian corn promises to be beyond the average. Tbe last accounts of the vines in Portugal, though bad enough, were less unfavourable than before. The harvest in Spain is everywhe re.most abundant. The difference in the price of bread at Turin and at Genoa has beeH so gre3t that large quantities have been sent to Turin by railway ; the flour used at Genoa was principally American. . Sugar now costs at St. Petersburgh Is. 9d. *per lb., and coffee sells at au equally extravagant rate. The gossips, and even the philosophers, of Berlin have been thrown into great excitement by the extraordinary and well-verified fact of a married woman having given birth to no less a creature than a merman or mermaid. Tbe official report of tbe case states that on the 15th the wife ot a I paiuter in Old Schoahaus-street, brought into

i- I the world a most wonderful abortion ; this was & child born only a few weeks before the regular i- time, which had the regular human form down'to is the loin*!, and thence downwards that of a fish, il but without scales. 7is fingers wf-re webbed, but otherwise perfectly well-formed. It died 3- half-an-hour after birth, in the presence of the I, midwife, Dr. Hoffmann. c An attempt has been made at Jassy to get up 0 a monster address from the inhabitants to the Russians, begging them not to quit Moldavia, c but the attempt had failed. Letters from Galatz c of the 14th August attibuted the slowness of the - Russian retreat to the number of sick in their k train, which the writer estimates at 10,000, wheu the retreat he^an. x A New York paper states that immediately c after the adjournment of the Senate on the sth instant, President Pierce, on leaving the Capitol, - "was followed out and addressed by J. M. Jefe fards, of Charleston, S.C/; Jeffards was Considerably intoxicated at the'time, and was in comf pany with J.. S. Duke, of St. Louis, and J. F. Wiggans, of New York, all of whom had been drinking. The President shook bands with him, j- and Jeffards asked the President to take a drink, which he declined, and turned to enter his car3 riage. As he was doing so, his 1 was knocked , off by a hard boiled eyg. Jeffards returned into 1 the Capitol, saying the President was a— — fool . The President' Spoke to one of the police, asking j if he bad authority to make an arrest, Captain r Dunnington and officer Wales -sbortry-; after*' arrested Jeffards, wbo denied throwing the egg. t The fact, however, was proved, and the justice decided to hold Jeffards to bail. Several persons to whom he applied refused to become bail for , him. In the meantime, becoming more sober, he cried bitterly, declaring tltat if sent to gaol he would not be living. He then took out a small • . knife and stabbed himself in the leg, just above . the knee, saying that he was determined to bleed I to death. As the blood flowed profusely, he became alarmed, and allowed it to be examined, and ; was disarmed. The Attorney-General then com- " municated to Captain Dunnington the desire of , the President that the prisoner be not prosecuted, and he was'accordingly discharged. The Russian Invalide, in default of having to , record more gloriors victories over shipwrecked vessels, and to cover the disgrace of Russian fleets and "countless shallow flotillas" being pent op behind granite walls, and to compensate Russian merchants for the utter destruction of their maritime commerce, announcer a long string of doggrel effusions, setting forth the invincibility, and triumph of Russia by land and by ssa. One of ihe choicest of these contains a diatribe ajrainst Sir Charles Napier, under the head of "He came — but came not on." The only answer to give to this trash is, that whether "he " be or be not there, not a single Russian armed vessel dares venture a 'single werst from Cronstadt or Sveaborg. A' letter from Saraos in the Deblits contains interesting details respecting an attack which was made recently in the little Wand of Lero, near Samos, on a band of Greek pirates, by the crew of the screw corvette, the Chaptal, Captai Or Poultier : — Landing at daybreak under the command of Lieutenant Laurent and M. SouzaCarrea, an officer of the Brazilian navy in the , sejryjcejjfJEi&ncg^th^ found the pirates About Dine o'clock in the morning, and forced them to seek refuge in a stronglybuilt house, where tiiey barricaded themselves. In those parts houses, being at all times exposed to pirates, especially those on the sea shore, are built like blockhouse?, without exterior openings by which they can be attacked, provided with loop-holes fo£ musket firing, and capable of resisting musketry. It was in a -building of this kind that the pirates took up a position. It could not be hoped to expel them with muskets, and it was necessary to send a detachment on board for a howitzer. The combat then commenced, the pirates opposing the most energetic resistance, which would have done them the greatest honor if their cause had been honorable. After about five hours, the ammunition having begun to fail tbe French detachment, the commander, who could not remain in check before such adversaries, gave orders for an attack, and our sailors rushel on the house, and, amid a shower of balls, broke open the door with hatchets. Some seconds after the affair vos at an end, the piratps were all shot, with the exception of five of them, who were hanged the next day to the yards of the corvette. We had in this affair, which was a very sharp oue, one man killed and several wounded. General Guyon succeeds Mustapha Pasha ia the command of the Turkish forces in Asia where the want of success was entirely owing to the incapacity of the Turkish commander, Russia is intriguing with tbe Court of Rome, though with what ulterior object does not appear. It is said thai the Czar is about to erect Poland into a separate kingdom, placing his third son on the throne. In Austria the most active preparations for war are in progress. Prussia remains, quiescent, profiting by us neutrality in the advantages of being tbe common negotiator for Russian prodo.ce with England and France. The administiation of Esparterohas succeeded in restoring tranquillity to Spain, in a manner which does him infinite credit. 1^ clubs have given some trouble, esperialbrahe '.*" Union :" barricades have been erected ii/'tne streets^ and revolutionary republican cries.',raised, but io vain. The national guard dispersed the mob, and made many prisonets. Tbe Queen Mother has been permitted to retire to Portugal. ; f , In order to satisfy the public^' feeling which exists against Queen Christina, ami at the same time to cover her departure, a decree was abouc to be issued sequestrating her property and suppressing her pension until the pleasure of tbe Cortes has been taken on the matter. The Emperor Louis Napoleon is busily occupied with the great military festivities afc Boulogne, at which Prince Albert and the King of Portugal are guess. The utmost cordiality and good feeling subsists between the Emperor and the Prince, and the reception given to the latter by the French people and array has been enthusiastic io the extreme, and cannot fail to strengthen the present friendly relations of the two nations. The Court remains at Osborne until the 14tb, when Her Majesty proceeds to Balmoral, via York and Edinburgh. A sad accident on the Croydon Railway has resulted in the loss of three lives, solely from tbe

neglect of proper signals. A colliery explosion ■rrear Barnsley has sacrificed three Mves, and the loss of an emigrant ship from London to America, though without any further fatality, makes up our list of disasters for * fortnight. The tide of emigration to all parts is already -slackening, as may be seen by the monthly returns. According to these^documents, it would «seem that the total number of persons who left tlfi« country in the month of July was only 27j541 • against. 3B,962 during the previous month — the number for the Australian colonies in July being 1,897 against 3,532 in June. Probablb Policy of Sweden. — According «to letters from Stockholm, the capture of Bomarsund is likely to remove all further hesitation on the part of the Swedish Government, who may now be e-xpeeita'-to.join the Western Powers. It is believed that nothing but the fear of an unsuccessful result in the present contest-has hitherto prevpnted the Cabinet from uniting with the .Allied Powers in resisting the aggressions of TheGovernraent possesses a reserved fund of four million dollars for extraordinary expenses, which will prove exceedingly useful iv >ca.se uf war bring declared. The courwmin tial on Lieutenaut Perry has resulted in his beitiij found guilty of falsely accusing his commanding officers, but yet he is allowed to spU his commission. Public opinion is -quite with him, and a l«rge subscription is being raised to m?et bis expenses. Certaiuly the discipline of bis regiment w»s most disgracefully relaxed, ami we boj>e is no fair sample of the British aimy general!). PersecutiHg-junicr officers to iht> extent ot turning them out of bed and -making them go through the sword exercise, is jm outrac? upon dtceucy as YJell as military esprit; fcm all this was done, and -Perry resenting it, an .*ssanU, cMJwnßiion and recrimination, and three courts- tnsitial ensued, most prejudicial to all concerned. More misfortunes have been sustained by intending emigrants. Messrs. Griffiths anil Newcombs^ of the Temperance Line of Packets, have failed, and a large number of poor persons on bo«rd one of their ships have been left entirely -destitute. Subscriptions have been opened for them also. Prince Albert has just returned from a visit to 'Louis Napoleon, at the camp of Boulogne, where great enthusiasm prevailed. In Australian securities not much has been doDe, lately. Wool is quiet, with more disposition to sell ; • and tallow is rather dull. The Ami de la Religion gives a letter from Rome, announcing that the Pope is about to proclaim"* universal jubilee" for these purposes : — Ist. Peace among Christian Princes (here the Sultan is of njaccount). 2nd. Tbeappease.ment of the spirit .of sedition and revolt. 3rd. The cessation of the cholera and u famine" (nigh prices are meant, no doubt.) 4th. "Les lumierers -do Saint-Esprit sur le pape dans la decision dogma'ique de~l'lmmac»lee Conception." Further, the Holy .Father is to convoke the whole jßomari Catholic hierarchy to spread through Europe at a solemn conference to discuss, as a ~" Council," the last point. In New York the cholera is on the decrease. 1456 died out of a population of 700,000. At the Carignano a drama hda been produced called L'Assedio di Silistfia, in which Turks and perform prodigies of valor. One of the -principal episodes is a love- passage between the -daughter of Mussrt Pacha ami a son of the Russian Genera), the marriage the lovers concluding ■•the piece. Dentistry seems not to have been unknown .among the ancient Egyptians. Mr. Finney, a dentist, late of Alexandria, found a stuffed tooth 'in a mummy, and several teeth in other mummies which" bore marks of filing. The use ot the fibrous productions of the West India Islands, such as, plantain fibre for paperjnaking and other purposes, is a snbj'ect of deep -interest in newspaper difccubhions in the West "Indies. The Ho el dcs Invalids is now lighted by the new gas extracted directly from water. Workmen .are now engaged in constructing by the side of the gasonfeter a general culorifere for warming every part of the hotel. The Xast New Bribery Act. — Tbis act, which has received the royal assent, is entitled v " An act to consolidate and amend the laws relating to bribery, treating, an«J undue influence at of members to serve in Parliament." There are thirty-nine secKons in the act, aneP two schedules. The preamble 5 ates, that the laws in force for preventing corrupt practices at -elections have been found insufficient, and that it is expedient to consolidate and amend such laws. .and to make further provision for securing the freedou of sucb elections. The new law repeals to the extent specified the acts in schedule A, in No. 10, from the reign of Geo. 11., to the sth and 6th Viet. Bribery, treating, and undue in.fluence are defined^ anJ the parties offending are to be deemed guilty of a mi«tlemeanor. The names of offenders are to be swuck off the register by the revising barrister, and to be inserted in a Wpaxaiejisx,_ No cockades or ribbon to be given .at elections. Voters are not to serve as special. -constables during election. . In lieu of the usual proclamation, the notice in the schedule annexed is to be given of elections. In cases of private prosecutions under ibe act; if judgment be giveu for defendant, be is to recover hia costs from the prosecutor. Within six days after the passing of the act, the returning officers are to appoint an election officer, to be calteti " election auditor of election expensps," to act at elections. Bills of electioa expenses are to he sent in within one month, and to be forwarded to the election auditor, and no payments are to be made except through the electioa auditor. The candidates are to pay personal expenses of advertising. The expenses are to be made out and published by the election auditor. He is >o have £10 from each candidate for his services, reasonable expenses, and two per cent, on the payments before the day of election. In actions for penalities the parties are to be competent witnesses. Candidates declared guilty of bribery to be incapable of being elected in the then parliament. Refreshments to voters on the day of nomination and polling are illegal. The short title of the act is "The Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, 1854." There is an int. rpretation clause, and the act :s to continue in force one year, and to the end of the then next session •of parliament. - The Assemblee Nationale says :: — Wp are assured that an experiment !m« just bppn successfully made of employing swallows to carry letters, as pigeons weie used some jears back. Six

swallows, taken in their nests at Paris, were conveyed hy railway to Vienna, and there let go, with a small roll oTpnper, containing 1510 words, under the wing of each. They were let go at a quarter after seven In the morning. Two arrived at Paris a few minutes hefore one, one at aquarter past two, u c at four o'clock, and the other two did not make their appearance at all. With respect to the elf-ctric light, the problem appears to be solved at Paris. We mentioned a ( short time since that it was in use to illuminate the works of the Napoleon docks, which were earned on by niuht as well as by daj ; and the apparatus wa- so complete, that for four months the -light has been steadily burning. Economy is not its least recommendation, for the cost per night has not been more than 8S francs, which as 800 men were employed, gives four and a half centimes — less than a halfpenny per man. It is matter of histoiic.il notoriety that Sveaborg, erected in 1749 by Adolphus Frederick, of Sweden, fell into the hands ot Russia, together with a flotilla of gunboats, in the year 1808, by an act of treachery of the commandant. Richard Wilkinson, a private in the 18tb company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, was deliberately shot dead on the morning of the 29th of -June lost, in a bsrrack-room at Halifax, Nova Scotia, by his comrade, William Sime, a private' in the same corps. The two men had associated together in the regiment on the moss intimate tfcrms of friendship for more than seven years, and were -conversing with each other and with other men in the room, when, without any apparent provocation, Sime went to the arm-rack, took <iown his firelock, and shot Wilkinson through the heart, the ball passing out at the right side and breaking the -right elbow. The indignation of the men in the barrack-room at the atrocious deed was so great that, but for the prompt interference of a non-commissioned officer wuo was presen', the murderer would have -been seriously injured. The following states have expressed their intention of taking part in the Universal Exhibition to be held at Paris next year : — Austria, Bavaria, Belgium, Bremen, Denmark, Frankfort, Great Britain, Greece, Hamburg, Hanover, HesseDarmstadt, Holland, Lub.ck, Morocco, Mecklenburg Schwerio, Mexico, Naples, Peru, Portugal, Rome, Sardinia, Saxony, Saxe-Coburg-Gotba, Saxe- Weimar, Spain, Sweden, and Norway, Switzerland, Tunis, Turkey, Tuscany, and the United States. The only states of any importance which do not appear on the list are Russia, and, strangely enough, Prussia. The fine arts department of the Exhibition will be held in Chose portions of the Louvre which are newly completed, or which are rapidly approdching completion. The entire space at the disposal of the French Commission is about nine hundred thousand supeificial feet for the -industrial section, of which one hundred and fifty thousand superficial feet have heen allotted to Great Brit in, her colonies and dependencies. The fine arts departroant will consist of about one hundred and thirty thousand superficial feet of hanging space, of which about one-tenth part will be allotted to this country, together with a certain space for sculpture. The Riff pirates^have submitted to the French steamer Newton. The Newton reached the coast ' early in August, "and off~Cape" Tres Fofcas" She was saluted with a fire of mu.keiry, which she effectually returned with grape, canister, and shell. Three ftllows then swam off to the ship, sent by the chiefs to beg for mercy. The captain, however, refused to treat with them, and they swam back, returning with three old chiefs. These men said they were anxious to be friends with the French and English, to trade with them, and to see them in their country. "To seal their promise of never molesting any other vessel, they fetched a bullock off, and sacrificed it to their gods, on the deck of the Neivton. They hamstrung it first, nuking it fall on its knees before the officers, and then cut its throat. The sailors of the steamer of course did the remainder of the ceremony." The captain went ashore, and the people were very respectful. He tock three chiefs as hostages, aud left them at Tangier. Kpr some time past the Northern Railway of France has conveyed on its line daily about two thousand troops. The Constitutionnel observes — " It is interesting to watch the movements of the troops entering a railway. Everything takes place according to orders from the War Department. The detachment is formed into column and divided by the adjutant, without distinction of companies, into fractions corresponding with the size of the carriages. Each fraction thus formed is led by an officer, who subdivides it according to the number of carriages. The first two men, on entering, place their knapsacks under the seats-; the second takes the knapsack of the man coming immediately after, and stows it away; the rest follow in the same order, so that no man enters the carriage until his knapsack is in its proper plare. AH this is done with the greatest order and celerity, if the first battalion took forty minutes to be seated, another executed the .same manoeuvre in twenty minutes, and twelve were sufficient for a third, which—was, morp familiar with the regulations. We have, therefore, a proof that an entire battalion, by adopting the necessary precautions, can take us place in less than a quarter of an hour." The Directors of the New York Crystal Palace have directed their President to sell the building for half its original cost— if he can get a purchaser; i< is said, however, that both Boston and Philadelphia are anxious to obtain the place. It is still open to the public, and its attractions are reported to be on the increase. Captain Ellis, R.N., Emigration Officer at Limerick, has received an official letter from Mr. Buchanan, superintending the emigration department at Quebec, stating that he never knew such a busy year as this ; having applications from every section of the Canadian Provinces, complaining of the impossibility of getting sufficient labour-women to gather in the hay crop, and wages offered so high as 6*. to 7s. per day for harvest labourers. The number of emigrants landed to the Ist of August was 12,006 over the number to the same period of last year ; and yet there is not a working man or woman unemployed. On the London train arriving at Warrington lately, " a lady,"* quite intoxicated, called out for a gloss of water, which when the porter furnished, he waa offered a sovereign to take pay_ ment for it ; ibis he refused, and had the wate

flung in his face, accompanied by an oath. The porter observing the carriage floor covered with sovereigns, called the station master, but there being no time to wait, the poor drunken creature was locked in, and orders given to the guard to see her at the next station. A handkerchief filled with sovereigns was observed on one of the seats. From inquiries ii was found that ahe had just returned from the "diggings." The Cholera. — The cholera has broken out in many parts ol the three kingdoms. In London it has set m with intense malignity, its increase from the period of its appearance, about five weeks ago, being in a far more appalling ratio than at the last Last year from week to week, after the disease had set in, was, in the first month, fiora 10 to 36, 52 and 62; it then jumped to 14rf, and within six weeks more, it stood at 952. Since its present outbreak, the weekly returns have been from 5 to 26, 133, 399, 614; and for the week ending last Saturday, it was 759 deaths. The disease has, bdwever, prevailed with great irregularity over London, the ravages iti several places being very inconsiderable ; and it is a fact to be noiced, that imperfect drainage, proximity to the dirtiest pans of the Thames, bad water, and poverty, are stiil, as they were in 1849, the chief circumstances that make cholera fatal. On the banks of the polluted Thames, in the lower parts of London,' people die in large number*. It has broken dpi in Millbank Prison, where a great many of the inmates have died ; and it bas been found necessary to transfer about 700 of them to Dorchester Prison, leaving 400 in Millbank. The epidemic has appearpd in Essex, where the deaths have been borb numerous and sudden. Several vessels have been put into Sheernes*, in consequence of the crews having been attacked by the disease. In Greenwich and Deptford it has made its appearance, and has been attended with very fatal results. It has broken out also in Middlesborough, Shields, .Sheffield, Liverpool, and other places. In Glasgow it has prevailed ior a considerable time, making sad ravages among the humbler population. Recent accounts speak of its being on the decrease, but it is spreading into other parts of Scotland. Choleia has been raging for a con&iderable time in Belfast, where the deaths have been very numerous. It appears to be spreading to the neighbouring localities. — Home News, Aug. 25. Mr. Carden. — The svpersedeas dismissing Mr. Garden from the Deputy-Lieutenancy and, Magistracy of Tipperary has been issued. Contrary to rumours which recently prevailed, the sentence of "bard labour" is being carried into execution in the ordinary way in the case of Mr, Carden. .Immediately after his conviction the culprit was attired in the common gaol dress, his head wgs shaven, and he was set upon the treadmill for the usnal space of time. He is locked up every evening at six o f lock, and rises in the morning at six. This much favor has, however, been granted to him by the gaol coramiuep, — he is allowed an entire cell 'o himself, his servantman attends him, and he is permuted to supply himself with food. No wines or spirits of any description are allowed bim. He goes on the treadmi'l at 10 o'clock, and remains at it, with usual res's, until 2. This monotonous and sevpre toil he goes through without murmuring. He looks, ve^y, ill, but has not formally coni;plai!]sd- -to s^se-"gra&ler'" that Tie is suffering in j health. H^ prefers the long-continued toil at tha mill to walking in the gaol yard amongst the other convicts. Factton Fights.- — There ate two factious of Irishmen in Birkeiihead, the " Connatight men," and the " Duudalk or north of Ireland men."" Last Saturday Light these two parties, numbering about 400, engaged in deadly combat, hurling at one another stones and missiles of every description most convenient. The police quelled the riot. A'^out 12 o'clock on the same nigh the police again beard yelling and shouting resembling the war cry of Indian savages. The " Connaught men'' bad again broken loos°, and the " Dundalk men" not coming up to thefigbt, the former attacked the police with the missiles intended for the other party. Several of the leaders were arrested, and the magistrates have sent them to gaol for a month, with hard labor. Kosjbuth-Ism.— The Kossuth agitation has again manifested itself at Newcastle-apon-Tyue, carrying out the principle propounded by the Hungarians lo their practical issues. About two thousand persons assembled in the Nelson-street Lecture-rooms, and the Mayor presided. The chief speakers were Mr. George Crawshay, Mr. Charles Attwood, and Mr. Worcell, a Pole. The gist of the orations was, that the war has been i shamefully mismanaged, and conducted without principle or aim ; that the ministers, for having allied this country with Austria, are utterly un- ( deserving of confidence — especially Lord Aber- . deen, and ought to be impeached ; that England ought to rely upon Poland, Hungary, Italy, Georgia, aud Circassia, and not upon Auslna ; I and that Sebastopol ought to have long ago been taken, with a less loss than that occasioned by the cholera. These views were embodied in a 1 memorial to the Queen, and formally adopted by the meeting. Thanks were conveyed in a resolution t9*vUord Lyndhurst and Lord Clanricarde, for therr speeches" in 'parliament. Before the r memorial wa^ carried, a gentleman named Eglinton proposed an amendment, derisively pushing ■ t the arguments of the speakers to an absurd conclusion. He proposed, •' that in order to carry ] on the war in a more effective manner, her r Majesty's ministers should send out orders to Sir Charles Napier to take Cronstadt ; but that as r it could not be done without a loss of six line-of-battle ships, requiring 5000 men to man those vessels, we, the undersigned, offer ourselves to her Majesty." Of course the meeting was enraged at this proposal, and rejected it with groans . and hisses. j Romish Teaching. — It is announced that I Archdeacons Wilberforce and Denison are on the point of being brought before the proper tribunals j tor their " Romish teaching." The Archbishop , \ of York, at the instance of the Rev. John Jairatt, Vicar of North Cave, in the East Riding, ban de- ■ termined to send the charge against Archdeacon Wilberforce to his Provincial Court ; and in con- ( sequence of L<>rd Auckland, the present Bishop oi Bath and Wells, having refused to send the complaint against Archdeacon Denison to the Court of Appeal of the Province of Canterbury, the Primate, at- the instance of the Rev. Joseph Ditcher, Vicar of South Brent, Somerset, has issupd a commission of inquiry on the subject of the charge agaios' the Archdeacon of Tauntwn.
