-.... ARCHBISHOP LAUD.
ARCHBISHOP LAUD. (Concluded from our last.) About the year 1634 there might have been seen shout London an austere Puritan, named William. Prynne, who appears to have been quite incapable of enjoying life himself, and conscientiously an- xious to prevent other peopla from doing so. This man, who was a barrister of Lincoln's Inn, with much learning and little sense, had conceived the idea that to indulge in stage-play, a hunt, a Christmas dinner, or a dance, was much more ini- quitous than to harbour-c, envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness." Nothing less would content him under the circumstances, than writing a book on the subject, entitled Histriomastix," in which, while severely reflecting on the Queen and Court, he endeavoured to demonstrate that all such pleasures and amusements were sinful to Christians. Frynne's book appears to have been as ridiculous as the author, and would have been treated by any prudent statesman with silent contempt. But with excessive prudence Laud was not giited; and he brought the unfortunate fanatic before the Stir Chamber. That court being the reverse of scrupu- lous, Prynne was, after a mock trial, to the disgrace of the Archbishop and his colleagues, sentenced to have his nose slit, his cheeks branded, and his ears cropped, and then to be cast into prison. While Prynne was being branded, and deprived of his ears, Laud was guilty of another outrage. In 1634 he dragged his old patron, Williams, Bishop of Lincoln, a man of popularity, before the Star Chamber for having published a tract entitled "The Holy Table," fined him an enormous sum, and then committed him as a prisoner to the Tower. Time passed on, and John Lilburnc, a person of ancient descent, and of enthusiastic spirit, was brought before the Star Chamber, for publishing a book entitled — "News from Ipswich." When asked to take an oath to answer the questions put to him by the Court, Lilburne declared No free- born Englishman," said he, ought to take the oath, not being bound by the Jaw of the country to accuse himself." For refusing to take the oath, Lilburne was sentenced to be whipped through the Streets, to stand in the pillory, and to be impri- soned in the Fleet. Such severities on the' part of an Archbishop naturally roused indignation, and the satirists of the day lashed Laud without mercy about the humility of his origin. Though his birth appears to have been perfectly respectable in its way, Laud felt these attacks acutely and one day, when walking with a protege in the palace gardens at Lambeth, showed him a pasquinade which had saddened his spirit. I am accused in this docu- ment," complained the Archbishop, with woe in his countenance, "of being of as mean parentage as if J bad been raked out of a dunghill." What a shame!" exclaimed the other. Yes," said Laud, his countenance brightening; "and, though I had not the good fortune to be born a gentleman, yet my parents were honest; they lived in good circumstances they employed the poor and they left a good name behind them." Besides," sug- gested the protege by way of consolation, "yonr Grace may remember what a certain Pope said when similarly attacked If the sun's beams found their way through the rugged roof and broken walls of my father's cottage, they at least illu- mined every corner of the humble dwelling in which I was born." z;1 But ere long Laud had to contend with assailants who used more substantial weapons of offence. One day a placard was posted at the London Ex- change, in which the apprentices of the metropolis were invited to attack the Archbishop's palace. Accordingly, at night, five hundred assembled, and approaching Lambeth with cries of No High Commission!"—"No Bishops! endeavoured to break the doors. But Laud had received intimation of the attack in time to fortify the mansion, and the crowd, after smashing some windows, were fain to disperse. Next morning the ringleaders were ar- rested, but the mob broke open the prison doors. and liberated them with shouts of triumph. One man, however, being recaptured, was executed, and his quarters exposed in various parts of the city, served to exasperate the multitudes still more highly against the Primate. Among the hundreds who hated Laud's name as death ranked a privileged person named Archy. who had figured as 11 King's Fool in the time of James, and held the same office under Charles. One day when the Archbishop was present, Archy asked leave to say 'grace;' permission being given, he said, Great praise be given to God, and little Laud to the Devil" No warning had any effect. The King did what the Archbishop pleased; while the Archbishop, wise in his own conceit, acted in utter defiance of public opinion and moderate men became so estranged from the Church, which by his measures be rendered so unpopular, that they questioned whether Laud's supremacy was not more intolerable than that of Rome. I shall be free and clear," said Sir Edward Deering, "if one of these must he, I bad rather serve one as far off as the Tiber' than to have him come so near to me as the Thames.' A Pope at Rome will do me less hurt thin a Patriarch at Lambeth." Ere the Parliamentary chiefs had begun to wran- gle over their mishaps at Newbury, or to treat with the King at Uxbridge, they deemed it politic to avail themselves of circumstances to revivethe po- pular feeling against Laud, and to devise measures C, z!l for sending the venerable Archbishop to the block. Laud, who was now in his seventy-second year, had been well nigh four years a prisoner in the Tower, and was in fair way -of being as com- pletely forgotten, as if he had found a last resting place in the chapei of St. Peter. A dispute about, church livings," however, brought him back to memory. It appears that Parliament claimed the right of nominating to vacant Benefices, and that the Peers called upon the captive Archbishop to collate the clergymen of their choice. Charles, however, con- trived to convey a command to Laud not to obey and Laud, complying with the King's orders, begged to be excused. The Peers, irritated by his refusal, appealed to the Commons, and resolving to pro- ceed with the charge against the imprisoned Pri- mate, the Commons appointed a committee to expedite the trial. Moreover, they entrusted the task of preparing evidence to Prynne, who willingly and readily und?rtook the duty, with the object of avenging the loss of his ears. Laud's fate was now sealed. After some neces- sary preliminaries, he was conveyed by the Lieu- tenant of the Tower to Westminster, brought into the House of Lords and ordered to kneel at the bar. The accusation was then read by the Com- mons and Laud having replied, the evidence was examined. After some time Parliament found that the charge of High Treason could not be estab- lished and resolved, as in Stafford's case, to give up the impeachment. The Commons, however, passed a bill of attain- der, and sent him up to the Lords, who, willing to save Laud if they could do so without danger to themselves, endeavoured to gain time, and ex- pressed doubts about points of laws. But the Commons, having made up their minds to have Laud's bead, were not to be thwarted; and early in January, 1645, few Peers being present, the bill of attainder passed the Upper House. The execution of Laud was fixed to take place on Friday, the 10th of January, 1645 and on the morning of that day, he was taken from his prison, and conducted to Tower Hill. On reaching the scaffold, the aged Archbishop delivered a long speech, justifying his own conduct, and declaring that the King was as sound a Protestant as any man in England. 11 1 forgive all the world," he said, in conclusion,—" all those bitter enemies who have persecuted me; and I humbly desire to be forgiven, first of God, and then of man -whether I have offended him or no, if he do but conceive that I have." Laud then prepared for the last melan- choly scene. The scaflold however was so crowded with enemies eager to see him die, that he had scarcely room to kneel down to offer up a prayer. The circumstance caused annoyance, and he could not help expressing some surprise. I did think," he remarked, looking around, that I might have Z, z, had room to die," We must make room," said the spectators, moving aside. "Well," said Laud, I'll pull off my doublet, and God's will be done. No man can b& more anxious to send me out of the 'world than I am to be gone." What text of Scripture is most comforting to a man at his depar- ture ?" asked Sir John Clot worthy, a Puritanical bigot, who had come to witness the Primate's last struggle. "Cupio dissohl et esse cum, dhristo," re- plied Laud, solemnly. "That is a good desire," said Clotworthy "but there must be a foundation for that desire—an assurance." No man can ex- press it," said Laud, "it is found within." "It is founded on a word, though," argued Clotworthy, and that word should be known." It is the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and that alone," said Laud, turning away, not without contempt, from his tormentor. "But," urged Clotwortby —— Here, honest friend," said Laud, giving the exe- cutioner some money, God forgive thee; and do thine office upon me in mercy." Having kneeled down & addressed a short prayer to God for the welfare of the Kingdom, aud his own eternal salvation through the merits of his ) Redeemer, Laud laid his bead on the block, and I said aloud—" Lord, receive my soul." He then gave a signal that had been agreed on, and the executioner, at one blow, severed the head from the body. When all was over, the corpse of the pious Primate was delivered to some of his friends, conveyed by them reverentially to Barking, and interred in the Church of All-hallows with much veneration. After the restoration, the remains of Laud were removed to Oxford, and deposited with ceremony near the Altar of Saint John's College Chapel. By JOHN G. EDGAR.
THE PRESENT CRISIS.
THE PRESENT CRISIS. We extract the following from a London contem- porary SIR,- Will you allow an old fashioned Evangelical of three score years and eleven, who has laboured anxiously to promote God's truth in the ministry of the Church of England for nearly half a century, to record in your pages his deep conviction touching the present crisis of affairs in the Church of England? Nothing has filled me with so much dismay as the now well-ascertained fact that there are some-I trust only a few, unquestionably godly and spiritual ministers and memb rs of our Reformed Church who can look on with indifference upon the threatened spoliation of an important branch of that Church, nay, in some instances, by their vote and interest, intend tu aid and abet its destruction. I feel sure that if I cculd subpoena from their slumbers one or all of the early founders of Evan- gelical truth in our Church within the last century, not one of them would fail to mourn over such a grievous mistake in good men. Passing by many of the hackneyed topics of argument on both sides, my mind rests upon the broad principle which the destruction of the national character of the Irish Church will involve. Ever since Christianity was introduced and prevailed in these islands it has been the established religion of the country in some form or other. Nay, more. Whenever Christianity has pervaded the people of any land, it has become nationalized,— whether it stole in unawares, as at the beginning, work- ing upwards; or, as in the case of most of our Saxon kingdoms, it was embraced first by the King and the aristocracy, working, downwarde,-in all cases it has become a national religion, interwoven with all public Acts, laws, and constitutions; lending its hallowed in- fluence to and leavening the secular powers, and receiving from them legal sanction and protection. Even in the days of our own Commonwealth, although Episcopacy was banished, Christianity was not denationalized. If this great act of spoliation, of wrong and robbery on the Irish Episcopal Church be accomplished, for the first time one of the three kingdoms will be stripped of its character as a Christian country, and turned adrift to be the prey of anarchy, and sectarianism, and Popery. Christianity will not be persecuted or denounced, it will only be placed on a level with Judaism, Swedenborgian- ism, or Mormonism. Ireland becomes a S&cular state! If there is no national Church there is no national reli- gion, no form of worship, nay, no God, no Church recognised as the god of the country." It will be cut down lower than most of the Pagan nations, who have learned even by natural religion that the acts of the Government of a people should recognise their Gods In my view of the case all other questions sink into comparative indifference; if we conscientiously and in- telligently hold that, as in a family, or a tribe, or clan, so in nations, religion, the true revealed religion, ought to be identified with the State-that the very health and wealth of States depend on their amalgamation with and their open profession of some form of Christianity,—then no question of numbers, few or many in particular pro vinces, no poHtical or conventional considerations, still less a desire to propitiate or satisfy unreasonable and grasping malcontents, should shake us for a moment from our fealty to the great principle of the Divine union between Church and State. God Himself joined them together in the one only religious Government and Con- stitution which He Himself framed on earth: surely leaving us a Divine example in all cases where it can be followed. If there be any force in these premises the conclusion is unavoidable. Eiery pious Churchman, and every pious Christian who holds the duty of preserving a State religion, should now come forlh at the call of his God, his religion, and his country, and determine, whether he be a layman or a clergyman, to use his most strenuous efforts to avert the great calamity with which these realms are threatened. Under ordinary circumstances, and when the questions which stir the heart of the country are purely secular, no one is more forward than I am in condemning those clergymen who show themselves forward in political movements. But the cry of I political parsons,' indiscri- minately raised, is a mere bugbear. When the very foundations of our National Church are shaken to their centre, it is little short ot treason to her to remain passive or inactive, or to content ourselves with giving a silent vote. We the: ministers of Christ have great influence in our bands-let us use it for the good of our Church and country. The Romish priests in Ireland are already in the field traiuing their ignorant und misguided followers to shout 'Down with her. down with her, even to the ground;' not a few of the leaders of the Dissenting bodies, both ministers and peoole, are straining every nerve for the overthrow of Established Churches, and the triumph of the voluntary system. Hitualistic traitors within our walls work in the same direction. And shall we, through false delicacy, or for fear of unpopularity among our parishioners who may differ from us, fail to strain every nerve to promote the return of those members to our Senate who will pledge themselves to the principle of the indissoluble union of iJhurch and State? I rejoice in the example which my own Bishop has set me, and if health and strength be granted me to return to my duties, will echo his warnings, and support his testimony, urging all pious men who love their God and their religion now to rally around oar glorious constitution in Church and State. For myself, I am pledged to vote at the ensuing elec- tion only for the man or men who will promise to support this principle, and dalend our existing Established Churches in ENGLAND. IRELAND, and SCOTLAND. Nor shall I consider it any derogation from the dignity, fidelity, or godliness of my pulpit duties to stir up men to adopt the same plain and honest course,and do their dut) as citizens and electors. I am no partizan for Whig or Tory. If I have any political predilection it is towards the former-or rather I should say it was so-but we have witnessed on all sides such miserable displays of mere selfish policy that I will swear to no master' in respect to political parties. Ambition, placb, and power, not to say in some cases merely mercenary considerations, sway so many of our leaders that they have taught us to cease from men and to cling to principle. Sir, if I could but persuade one godly man of the Liberal party (so called) on this trying occasion to leave his ranks and iodividuaHse himself and vote for the Church and State, or if I could arouse any of those who agree with me in principle to take a decided, open, and bold course, guided indeed by that prudence and modera tion in all things which becometh especially the ministers of the Gospel, yet not shrinking from any lawful means of promoting the return of sound Churchmen, tny object in penning this letter will be accomplished. Of this I feel confident, if our pious Liberals could be detached from the false position which they occupy, and if our real friends, lay and clerical, would exert themselves, the Irish Church would be saved F. CLOSE. August 14, 1868.

A NOBLEMAN SUED BY A RATCATCHER. — At the Leeds Assizes an action was brought by a man named Smith, a ratcatcher, against Lord Londesborough. The plaintiff had been engaged by his lordship's agent to ex- terminate rats on the estate for X,50 per annum. On applying for his wages the agent told him that it would be raised by a rate on the tenant", which he (plaintiff) would have to collect. Plaintiff then collected some money and continued for another year, and at the ex- piration of that period he had a claim of £100, exclusive of the amount he had received from the tenants, and which came to £48. He applied to Mr Young, the agent of Lord Londeshorou;h, for the money, but was again told that he must look to the tenants, and a number of letters were sent to them, urging upon them that they should pay the plaintiff what he wanted. The plaintiff was not able to get his money hence the present action against his lordship. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. ANECDOTE OF DR. PARR.—Many must have heard the late Leonard Horner tell the following story of Dr Parr, whom he knew intimately; we incline to remem- ber that Mr Horner was present, but we are not sure. At any rate, the story is worthy of record, morally and physically. Dr Parr and others were staying at a coun- try house. Among the guests were two Americans, who made no hones of differing from the doctor. So Parr said, "Do you know where you come from, gentlemen ? you come from the place where we send our thieves!" This made the boat angry, and he gave the doctor a sharp rebuke for his rudeness, which made him quit the room in high sulk. The rest of the company walked out on the lawn, where they amused the Americans with stories of the Doctor. there was a heavy black cloud overhead, and suddenly there came out of that cloud the word Tltam (Parr-lisp for Sam) in the Doctor's voice. The company stared, a word or two was spoken about the curious directi ms which unexpected sounds will take, and the conversation proceeded. Presently the awful word was again thrown from the cloud, And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before. There was now surprise and alarm and all the party set off to find the doctor. They found him in his bedroom, and the explanation was more sufficient than satisfactory. In his mood he had chosen to sit down with his pipe on the top bar of a very deep old-fashioned grave with a high mantelshelf. Here he had tumbled back wards, and was doubled up between the back and the bars. t His only way of calling for help was by sending his voice up the chimney and the warning was the echo from the cloud. If we could but think he had heard the previous con- versation by the same channel, the poetic justice of the calamity would be enhanced. Say that he stumbled by leaning backwards to listen to it; but do not say we told the story that way.—Athcnmum. ICE.-It is now generally known that the greatest portion of so-called I Wenham Lake ice' is obtained from Norway. The true Wenham Lake is in Massa- chusetts, in the United States, about 20 miles from Boston. This lake, which has no outlet, but is fed by springs which issue from the rocks at its bottom, is about one mile square and 200't. deep. Of the ice ex- ported from Boston only a small quantity is sent to England, the principal portion being shipped to India. According to the returns of the Board of Trade, only 46,538 tons of ice were exported from the United States in 1863, of the value of £ 169,757. In 1864 the quantity was 47,496 tons, of the value of £278,127; and in 1805 59,927 tons were exported, of the value ofjE225,825 the average price being £3 15s 4d per ton. The Norwegian ice appears to have almost entirely superseded the true Wenham Lake ice in the English market, and the proximity of Norway to ice-consuming countries will, no doubt, give it the monopoly of this branch of export in Europe. In 1865 several ice cargoes were shipped from Norway to Egypt, Spain, and Italy. England, however, continues to be the chief market for Norwegian ice, which, for the most part, is shipped from Drobak, a small port in the Fjord, a few miles from Christiania. Thirty-six cargoes, together 9,000 tons, were shipped in 1.864 from th place, of which London, Hull, and Grimsby alone took 5,800 tons. The Drobak ice-hcuses store during the winter about 13,000 tons. Before cutting the ice from the lakes its surface is scraped, and the field marked off into squares by an iron plough. After the ice is out into squares the blocks are disengaged and floated on shore to be stored. According to Mr Crowe, Her Majesty's Consul at Christiania, only 3,323 tons of ice were exported in 1861, while in 1862 the quantity bad increased to 20,402 tons. In 1863 29,110 tons were exported direct to England. In 1864 the total quantity exported from Norway was only 17,634 tons. In 1865 it bad increased to 44,823 tons, of which 43,359 tons were shipped to Great Britain. JAPANESE FUNERAL -The correspondent of the New York Times gives an account of a funeral he attended recently, when in Hiogo" First walked a group of boys bearing poles ornamt-nted with long streamers and paper banners covered with inscriptions-no doubt laudatory of the dead. Next came several white-robed priests with shaven heads, and carrying cereal offerings to the deities. Two of them had cymbals, which, at a signal from a silver-toned be 1, they would strike as if to drive away evil influences. After these was the corpse, borne on a cumbrous bier. The latter looked a small temple, and was decorated with tinsel and with ribands of parti- coloured paper. Then came more priests, boys bearing sacred chairs, and a group ot mourners completely en- veloped in white robes, with long gauze veils thrown over their heads and reaching to their feet. After these marched three priests of the highest order, robed in gorgeous vestments like those worn in the Romish Church. Each carried a fan (that Oriental emblem of authority), and wore a tall hat of go!den-coloured silk, with a cape falling upon the shoulders. Then came about 30 of the gentry, all bareheaded (the fashion in Japan), and dressed in the official costume, with swords by their sides, and a long line of women and children brought up the rear of the procession. It marched a long distance into the country, and as it would along a hill and valley with flaunting streamers and sounding cymbals the scene was weird and unearthly. At last they reached the appointed spot; the bier was laid on two stone pillars, its frame was taken apart, and Inside was seen a cask like a small half-barrel well hooped. This is the coffin, and into this the corpse has been packed In a sitting posture, and all spare room filled with combustibles. The sacred chairs are placed opposite this cask, and are occupied by the high priests, and on a bench between them are laid the cereal offerings. The people gather round and com- mence a low-toned ond monotonous chaunt, probably a mere repetition of the name of their deity, after which one of the high priests approaches the dead and mutters a prayer. In the meantime the 30 men previously men- tioned are kneeling near by on a matting, and are Mat- tering bits of white paper, probably to distract the attention of the devil, while the others secure the safety of the departed. Several of the assembly wear white paper crescents on their foreheads, and their duty appears to corsiet in passing around and bowing very low to the others. The services are closed by burning the body, and after all others retire the undertaker remains to gather the ashes, which are placed in all urn and buried. STANDARD WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—The Warden of the Standard States, in his annual report just issued) states that by the new microscopical apparatus comparisons can be made of measures of length from 20 feet down to the fraction of an inch, and the exact difference ascer- tained within less than .00001 inch by a single direct measurement, and much more closely ty a computation of the mean of many measurements. With this ap- paratus comparisons have been made of the official stan- dard yard, which was constructed in 1825 as a commer- cial standard. Being a brass bar with upright terminations, between which the measure of a yard is obtained, it does not admit of so minutely accurate a comparison as the scientific standards. The results of the comparisons show the official standard yard to be about .0015 inch loss than the standard length. ThIS small deficiency is considerably within the amount of error allowed in the official comparision sf local standard yards; for perfect accuracy in these standards is impos- sible. The subject of the construction of a new se- condary standard measure of length, with subdivisionsr as a commercial standard, and of a suitable apparatus for the better comparison in the department of copies of this standard, which are to be used for testing commer- cial measures of length, is under the consideration Of the Standards Commission. Captain Kater's large balance, used by him for the original verification of the imperial standard bushel, has been entirely reconstructed by Mr Oertling it carries 3001b weight in each pall, and shows any difference of weight within less than II single grain. The other balances of precision made If Mr Oertling have been fitted with new index scales witft finer divivisions, to be viewed through magnifying glasses. One of these balances will show any difference in two standard pounds under comparison within about '0001 grain in a single weighing, and a much more minute difference on the mean of several weighings- The reverification of the units of bullion weight haS been based on the primary platinum standards, and it has involved the scientific comparison of standard differing in their densities. When weighed in air the apparent weight of a platinum standard pound is about •645 grains heavier than a brass or bronze standard pound the true weight, their weight in a vacuum, being exactly equal, and no just comparison of such standard pounds can bs made by weighing them in air without deducting the weight of air displaced by each. The re" suit of these weighings and reductions of the primary platinum standards is that the relative weight of the io* perial standard pound, which is an avoirdupois pound, and of the primary troy pound from which, with the Iud of auxiliary platinum weights, the Imperial standard Was constructed, has been conclusively shown to be unal' tered since 1845. It follows that the absolute weight of each of these platinum standards is also unchanged. The imperial standards cf length and weight, the pri- mary yard and pound, are deposited in the strong room of the basement in the building in the Tower, in an iron chest made by Messrs Chubb. In the financial year 1867-68 the warden ra-verified no less than 2,167 looal standards this number was un usually large, owing partly to last year's report having given publicity to the fact of a large proportion of standards throughout the kingdom being illegal for want of due periodical revert- fication.
