CHURCH PROGRESS. SIB,—I am but a humble, and, it may be, f?abte'. advocate of the great pri..ipl.. which 1 have ventured to assert, and I neither ollm to be a judge nor to sum up more than my own 'View, with a candid and free acknowledgement of my short-comings where 1 am conscious of them. When a gentleman accuse* an opponent of having misquoted or misrepresented his words, and is in reply confronted with his very words, -it is at least usual and courteous to coufesa the mistake. Nor is it "judicial" to quote as much as is convenient from an adversary's ready admissions, and to suppress the qualifying sentences. Thull" A Layman" makes the most of the his- torical fact which I freely allow (how could I do otherwise I) that Queen Elizabeth and Archbishop Parker were" Protestaut enough" as "anti- Papal or anti.Romall," but omits all reference to the rest of my argument, that they were Catholic in their policy and their troubles were mainly with the Puritans, the prototype of modern Pro- testanta. As this, I take it, is equally a matter of histury, I am oontent to leave the subject. The coronation oath, solemn rnd important as it is, pledges the Sovereign, in a set form of words, to certain conditions laid down therein. The primate administers the oath ministerially. The Protestant religion established by law" is, as I said before, a vague term, and would be equally binding as regards any other form of Protestants ill "established by law" or that may be hereafter" eetablished." It does not name the Church of England and SQ does not in express terms bind the Sovereign to maintain the Church, which is, I thiuk, sufficient to urge against the adoption of the name of Protestant. As in a legal document, so above all in such a solemn matter as an oath, the obligation must be limited to the words which are wrivten and sworn to. The oath, as I observed before, was framed by Queen Anne's Privy Couucil without reference to the estates of the R6alm, and certainly was never accepted formally by the Convocations, and per- haps not by the Lords and Commons. The most that "A Layman" can make of it is that the Sovereign is bound to maintain a form of Protes- tantism "established by law." "A Layman" asserted that the Bishop of Salis- bury used the word" confirm." Upon his pro- ducing the quotation at large, I observed that the word "contirmed" was not there. To this he leplies that "ratify and complete" import more than simply to confirm." Plenipotentiaries of equal and independent nations rat,ify" a treaty; a superior officer confirms" the acts of his subordinate the terms are not therefore the same. Complete" is less open to objection and may pass. "A Layman" might as well have said that he had put a word into the good bishop's Kouth which he had not used, instead of trying to justify his mistake. But the Prayer Book uses neither one nor other of the words, and simply directs the people to "answer" "Amen" at the end of each prayer. We are happily agreed about" Comton Prayer" iu which priest and people have their duly allotted parts. "The alternative" (the opposite Isuppose is meant) "I offer," &c., does not satisfy me, nor have I ever advocated it, for there would be no longer Common Prayer," the title and mainspring of our services." When I said that "the priest alone" (in the sense of only) presented and offered the alms, oblations and prayers of the congregation, I only followed the words of the rubric before the Church Militant Prayer ("present and place," &c.), and those of the prayer of oblation itself. The action is that of the priest in the name and on behalf of the people, but to be done by him only. I am not very conversant with Roman Catholic books or services, but I have an impression that the Primitive Liturgies were intended for congrega- tional use which our Reformers restored in their revisions. Thus some services begin (as in our Prayer Book) "The Lord be with you," to which the people auswer And with thy Spirit. The priest then ays Let vis Pray." The communion office in the first book of I Edward VI. ("commonly called the mass") which, I imagine, is in all material points a simple trans- script of the Latin canon, agrees with our present book in using" we" "us" and "our" throughout the prayers, and I suspect something of the sort will be found in the original, though I have it not to refer to. In Bohemia, the Tyrol, and, I believe, at Milan, the Roman Catholic services are more cotigreg;ttional than is usually supposed; I have even heard of a popular move of the sort in England. I am glad that it is not necessary to dis- cuss the danger of making the word of connate meaning, which it does not bear in our (Jhurch, A-c., uoragain how "the priests ordained by St. Paul lacked priestly privilege that rightly be- longed to their order, &c. for our Prayer B(K-k settles the question. Our miuisters of the secoud order are ordained "priests in the Ohurch of God," without reserve or qualification, and they are therefore priests for ever, and all over the world. Our Reformers deliberately retained the name, function, and dimiity, and have left on record their belief and conviction that "from the Apostle's time there had been those orders of ministers in Christ's Church, bishops, priests, and deacons." Among members of the English Church, therefore, there can be no argument on the subject. As "aacerdos" is the Latin equivalent for" priest," it follows that sacerdotal" is the same as priestly," and that our priests" are just as sacerdotal" in their character and acts as their fellow ministers similarly ordained in the east or the west. It is true that the sister Church existing in Sootlaud calls her ministers of the second order presbyters, though ordained with the same com- miBllion, aud ming for the most part the English Liturgy, in which they are styled priests. The same is the case in the Great Eastern Communion where presbyter" is the deeignatiou, yet the commission is the same, and the office, power, and dignity similar. Nay, I believe that the Roman Ordinal for mini.ter of the second order bean ihe title of the Ordination of Prelb)tere." ("De Pre*by<ery ordinaJiH.") Probably, "A Layman" will not deny them the name of priests. The Irish expedient, to retain the name but place a forced and non natural interpretation upon it, is too whimsical to be noticed. A Layman" is doubtless very earnest and honest in his dislike to the word prieat, now a least undisguised, but stern facts are too strong for him. — Faithfully yours, M.A. August Oth, 1877.

THE PREFERMENT OF lIlGH CHURCH CLERGY. SIR -You would be doing good service to the Church of England by laying before your readers the purport of a letter addressed to the Time8 by Lord Ebury, on the subject The Church in Danger," wherein the noble lord administers a just and deserved rebuke to the Episcopal Bench for conniving at, and, in not a few cases, actually aiding ard abetting the Ritualistic heresy which has for some years past been infesting the Church of England. Although he commends the Arch- bishop for denouncing the Romaniatic machinery recently brought to light by Lord Redesdale, in the House of Lords, he cannot refrain from ex- pressing his astonishment that tho Bishops should have been so tardy in detecting and leprobating those disloyal and treacherous sons of the Church, who, as our Prime Minister has so happily ex- pressed it, would celebrate "the mass in masquer- ade." We need not ao further than the Dioceses of North Wales to find ample proof that the growth and progress of Ritualism has been fos- tered and encouraged by our Welsh Bishops. In the Diocese of Bangor, two dignities, under the patronage of the Bishop having become vacant, whom does this Evangelical prelate select as the fittest objects of honour and promotion ? The Deanery he confers upon the Vicar of Canarvon, a Paic)iaB memorialiat, and for the information of your general readerm, it will he necessary to ex- plain that the late Mr. Purchas, of Brighton, was condemned in an ecclesiastical court for intro- ducing five Romish practices in celebrating divine service; and the prayer of these ineinorialists was that the Bibopa would not prosecute those who may be guilty of the same illicit practices, that they virtually endorsed what was declared to he opposed to, and incompatible with the princi- ples of the Church of England. Well, another dignity becowei vacant, and the Bishop could find no clergyman within the limits of the Diocese so worthy of honour aud emolument as the Rector of Dolgelley, a member of the "Society of the Hilly UroKS," under vrliuw auspices that onnglUUla eratiwn of filth and obscenity, "The Priest in Absolution," ws published. The Bishop of St. Asaph, though the nominee of Mr. Gladstone, came illto the Diocese with the tradttMM of a thuru?h Ev?n?eticd, and high expectations were formed that under the auspicos of Dr. H ughes preference for the Protestant element would char,cturie his administration, but as all human speculations, ala are uncertain, te hopes of the sanguine advocates of the s ix. teenth century Reformation were very far from being realised, for a very desirable living becom- ing vacant in the Vale of Clwyd (Llanbedr), it was conferred upon the Rev. T. J. Hughes, one of the Purchat memorialiitt. Not long after, Bishop Hughes, with a view of disabusing the public as to the narrowness of Evangelical procliv- ities, and the unlimited width of their elastic principle", examines his large store of ecclesiasti- cal dignities, and finds there an honorary Canonry, and immediately invests the Vicar of Oswestry, another Purchas memorialist, not- withstanding the views expressed by Lord Powys, the Reverend Mr. Boily and other champions of the Church Catholic, who foresaw the dangerous ten. dencies of too much honour, which the swan of Avon, once on a time, said was a weight heavy enougli to sink a navy. Recently also, for the purpose, no doubt,of further illustrating the broad and undefined views of the Evangelical school, of which be was once the apologist in South Wales, Bishop Hughes selects one of the young curates of Hawarden, who naturally must have beeu free from all taint and imputation of Ritualism, and appoints him to a valuable English living in Montgomeryshire but before he had been long ensconsed in this snug piece of preferment, the introduction of High Ohurch practices, yclept Church principles," raised a moral ttorm in the parish but whether the above specimens of Epis- copal administration are calculated to inspire con- fidence, and to ward oil the disestablishment which threatens the Church, I will leave your intelligent readers to judge. The last, but not the least, thing I have tocomplain of is that at a meet- ing of the managing committee of tho North Wales Training School last year, when a motion was made with respect to M. Boucher, the prin- cipal, "both the North Wales Bishops declined to vote "TRUE PITY 'TIS TRUE." 19

MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY OF THE HOLY CROSS. SIR,—So much has been said of late in your paper about this Society that I think it is due to the clergy and public geuerally that they should know who do and who do not belong to that fraternity. A pamphlet entitled "The Ritualis- tic Conspiracy" is published at 3d, post free, by Mr W. H. Collingridge, 128, Aldersgate-street, Loudon, where every information on the subject i. given. Here we have a complete list of priests who desired the appointment of licensed con- fessors priests associate of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, clerical members of English Church Union, the Society of the Holy Cross, &c., &c.

DREADFUL TRAGEDY IN LONDON. I On Sunday evening, at about a quarter to nine, a dreadful wu.der, which was cotnlJliUea in the open street, took place in E.oex.road, Islington. At that hour a man named John Lynch, a tailor, was observed standing at the corner of tbe New North-road, talking to hi. wife and some friends in an apparently amicable way, when suddenly an altercation t>ok place, and Lyucb, drawing a razor from his pocket, rushed at his wife and cut her throat in such a terrible manntr as nearly to sever the head from the body. The uu- fortunate woman, notwithstanding her mortal injury, staggered in a marvellous way across the Etsex-ro&d to the corner of Cmonbury-rjad, where she dropped io a sitting position on the pavemeut and then fell back dead. At the time hundreds of persons were pa-sing on tbe way home from church, and a policeman was on "fixed point" duty at tbe corner of New North-road, opposite to that at which Lynch made the attack. This policeman, Pavenpi,rt, of the N. Division, immediately seized Lynch, and some person standing by picked np the rszir with which he bal comm ttel the murder. The murderer wai at once taken to the police station, and Dr, tfuggins, of Canonbury-road, was summoned to tbe unfortunate woman. When the prisoner reached the station be drew from his pocket a razor-cAse, aDd handed it to Inspector Jamieson. He also pulled froua his pocket a summons, issued from the Guildhall Police Court, in which he was cbarged to appear on Wednesday in answer to a charge of assaulting his wife in the City. H.aid in reference to this, 11 1 uk-d her to settl e it on Sunday night, and she wouldn't. I bope she's in beavsa." In answer to IDquiriee he atlted that he was a tailor Ii.ing apart from his wife, and tbat be bad till lately be.n employed io Paris. As at that time it was not known that the woman was dead, be was placed in a room io the stitioo, where he almust immediately fell asleep. He bad been drinkiug slightly, but was not intoxicated. He afterwsrdsawoke, appearing calm, and ask.1 if his wife still lived. He was told she was dead, when he commenced to sob bit er!y. From the stateme t of Alice Cimedy, aunt of the deceased, it appears that Lynch, who i. a man of intern- pirate habits, deserted his wife some mouths ago al Brighton, aud ever .ince she had refused to live with bun. For the poøt three weeks she had been stooping with Mrs Catnedy a'1d her husband, at their residence. 00 Monday ight Ly nell visited that place for the purpose, it would appear, of inducing her to live with him again. She refused, md he theu struck her and created a disturbance, which ended in his removal by a policemao-singularly enough the eajie constable who arieated him on Sunday night. He was not seen again till Monday night, at half-pa-.t five, when Weaeotacbild with a message to his wife, saying he wanted to see her in the street. She said she was afiaid to go alone, and induced her aunt to go with bar. Mrs Camedy and the deceased tbtr-fore went and met Lynch, and with him they to ik "walk. Mr. Camedy tried to bring about a reconciliation, and although there were occa- sional ancry words between Lynch and decell.e I, they on the wh ile appeared disposed to be friendly. On reaching the Marquees Tavern, M.rque88.road, Lynch pr pAed some .cfrtf.hments, of which tbe three partook. They then went agaiu in the direction of Canonbury- road, and when they got to the corner of that road at the spot where the mur ferttd womao a'terwards fell they met two b others of Lynch. Deceased expressed sur- prise at their presence. Lynch the. said they h-d c'we with him, and after some conver-a ion, during which he urged his wife to go anay with him, tbe whole pirty went again to the Marquess Tavern, where they had some more drink. There Lynch and his brothers used b,d language, and a sort of family row took place. They then left th. house, and proceeds! to tbe Fleece pu blic.houee, Essei-road. Here Lynch proposed that diizemsei should see him home, and at the suggestion of one of the brothers a bausom cab was called. Deceased and Lynch got in, but the former immediately got out, and raid she was afraid of him, for bis brother Patrick had toid her he had a razor about him. Mrs Camedy, turning to Patrick Lynch, said, Is that true I" but Patrick denied that be hai said M. Deceased asked her husband to let her feel in his pocket, and she suited the action ti tbe word, when Lynch, with extraordinary Bwiftuesi*, pulled out tbe r>r, aud com- mitted the murder as described. Several paesers hy witnessed the attack, but so quickly was it done that none of them saw the ras^ r used. On being formally charged at the police station, in the presence of the ",it..osee8, Lynch, who was then perfectly collectel, Slid to Mr Camedy, his uncle, Now Jack, have had my satisfaction. Don't you harbour any more wive. a* long as you live, or you will see the conse. quence." He had previously .eribs,! the act to je..lou.ly. Later on he pointed to Camedy, and said, That iuan harboured my wife for three weeks, and 1 am glad she's dead. Ob, you nasty old wretcb." In answer to the uhual questions, he Raid he was 30 years of ug.,o tailor, and had no fixed residence. He bad slept on the previoua night at a lodging-house in C un- mrrc:a!.r.a I. When told he would be charged with the murder wi his wife he said, "I plead guilty." Mva" while the body was removed on a stretcher to the mortuary in Holloway-road, there to await an inquest. An immeose crowd gathered to witness its r6lUovIlI, and the neiglibourh iol became at once the scene of great cxcitiment. Lynch is a short, slight mno, with daik and long curling bair, moustachios, and imperial. He is good-looking, and hat a somewhat theatrical appear- ance. He is respectably dressed indeed all the parties connected with the melancholy tragedy appear to be respectable Irish people. Lynch was on Monday hkftn before Mr Hossack, .t the Clerk..nw.1I Polic- Cuurt, charged with the wilful murder of hi. wife. Mr. Camedy, the prisoner's aunt, and other witnesses having given evidence the prisoner was remanded.

The liquifying process baa been going en for 1°6 years, and as it brings the liquidator and the lawyers who are associated with him about £12,860 a year, it seems highly probable that the process will take as long to cotDrlete as a distribution of booty captured in the Indian mutiny.

IL poiut of some im- portance affecting the relations between tbe army and the police is involved in a case which same before the Warrington Police Court on Thursday. A recruit was charged with b-ing drunk and disorderly on the' pre- vious day at a fair held at WarriDIlt<>D, and the pr socer was taken into custody by a police c instable for drunken and disorderly c induct. He became very violent, and a deap«rate struggle ensued betweeu hiiu and tue policeman. A mob collected, aud the police- man called on a recruiting sergeant te assint hiin in the Qu-en's name." The sergssnt, however, refused to any assistance. On being asked hY the magis- trate his reason for declining to help the police he replied, "I must recsive my instructions from my commanding officer to do tbat. I am supposed to ae-ist the magistracy, but I could not take orders from a constable—a man inferior in rank to myself. Be. sides, it would not have looked weil, me taking my own recruit to the police-statien.' Too magistrate fined the prisoner 10. and costs or fourteen days' imprisonment, and failed to seo that the sergeant was justified ia refusing assistance to the police for the sake of app «rances. THE LATE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIKALTV.—This gentleman's career iu the House of Commons was one of steady progress. He was, from tbe first, an active aud business-like member, and his speeches were at all times of a thoroughly practical character. In 1866, the year after the outbreak of the cattle plague, Mr Ward Hunt introduced a Bill, which he pushed forward with con- siderable energy jnri passu, with the measure brought forward by the Government dtaling with the same subject. On the accession of Lord Derby to office, t iwards the close of the sessiou in tbat year, he offered the post of Financial Secretary to the Treasury to Mr Ward Hont, in which office hi. business capicity stood him in good steal. Two years later the Premiership devolved upon Mr Disraeli, who selected Mr Ward Hunt as bis Chancellor "f the Exchequer. Thecarryiug, however, of Mr Gladstone's resolutioni on the Irish Church question led to tbe dissolution of the Ministry in tbe following December. The events which have characterised Mr Ward Hunt's connection with the Admiralty are too recent to'call for more that the briefest notioe. He began bis administration by a dtermined effort to put the navy into a thorougly efficient state, and though he created some alarm by his 6,st statement as to the actual condition of our ironclad fleet, the accuracy cf his figures was not denied. It was bis mis- fortune sometimes to be blftmed-e in the case of the Admiralty circulare and the loss of the Vanguard for errors for which he was notprimai-ily responsible,and which he was powerless to prevent. His anxiety faith- fully to discharge the duties of his office was painfully manifested during the present -in-, as those will re- member who were present when, whilst undergoing severe physical suffering, he moved the Navy Estimates. The Inflexible con trover ay, notwithstanding his illness, brought him again to the front, and it was only when the symptoms of his malady tho eatened the gravest con- sequences that he consented to take partial rest. TOK CONDEMNED CRIMINAL AT CHESTER CASTLE.- CONFESSION OF THE MDHSBRER.—Harry Leigh, the Macclesfield weaver, who wits condemned t, death at Cr aster for the murder of a little girl t Maccles- field, on the 24th March 14.t, has, siee his con lewna. I tion, been placed in what is now set apart as tbe con. demned cell at Chester Castle. The prisoner is a man of considerable intelligence, and feels his position, though he bears himself with wonderful equanimity, eats and sleeps well, nd pays evident attention to the ministrations of tbe gaol chaplain (the Rev. J. M. Kilnert. The mother of the murdered girl, Mrs Halton, of Fence-street, Macclesfield, has received a lst'er from the Rev. J. M. Kilner, statiug that the condemned culprit has male a full confession of his guilt. He stated thit his object was robbery, but because tbe child screamed he pushed her into the canal and left her to drown. He is contrite, and begs the mother's for- giveness. The execution will take place in due course on Monday me'ning next, the 13th August, at eight a.m. The Mate!('field Courier sayaHis conduct during the trial, to the casual observer, wai stoical to a degree. He a8eumed an air of injured innocence and apparent indifference to all that wss going on around. Those who watched him closely, however, could per- ceive indications of great mental strain—the spasmodic twitchings of the eyebrows and mouth. These in- voluntary symptoms of distress he from time to time endeavoured to soppress by aompressing his lips an,1 bracing himself up and asauming a carol- and in- diff rent aspect He p,id the most fixed attemi ,u to all that was stid and d'ue. If any point was raised by his counsel he interested himself in it with the esger- 013" of a man who h id hopes of being released from the position in which he foun I himself placed.

MOHAMMEDANISM.—The religion of M ,ha-nmed is professed by about one-tenth of all the people on the earth'. surface.

Coding into the world at a time when Christianity hai been seated for some centuries on the Imperial throne, in no in- credibly short space of time it overthrew both the Christian empire and its rival, the Perriin, and established a swsy gre-t-r than the Cte-ars bad ever wielded.

A CRKDOLOI'S JOU!1.1IAI. contemporary announces that "The accllracy of tll" fullll..in may b r Jjod upon io all its part-c ilars. Two ladies, sis-era, bad been for several day, ill attendance upon their brother, who was ill of a common sore thfdat-ø.yere and protracted, but not considere 1 as attend-d with any danger. At the same time, one of theoa hai borrowed a watch from a female friend, in consequeuce of her own b-ing under repair. The watch was one t,) which particular value was attached, on accouut of family associations and some anxiety wis exnre8sed that it micbt not meet with any injury. The sisters were sleeping together in a room communicating with that of their brother, when the elder of them awoke in a state of grt!iit agitstion and having aroused the oth-r, told h *r she had had a frightful dream. "I d eawt," she said "that Mary's watch stopped, and that when I told you of the cir- cumstaoM you replied, Mucb worse than that has happened, for Jamee' breath has stopped also "'—nam- ing her brother who was ill. To quiet her agit-ition, the younger sister immediately got tip and found her brother sleeping quietly, and the wa'ch. which hAd been carefully put in a d-awer, going Cell rectly. The follow- ing night the very same dream occurred, followed by similar agitation, which was again c jinposed in the sime manner; the brother being aeain found in a quietlleep, and the watch going weli. On the f"llo..il1¡( morning, soon after the family breakfasted, ose of the sisters was sitting by her brother, while another was writ-ng a note in the adjoining room. When her note W38 ready for being soiled, she was proceeding to take out for this purpose tbe watch alluded to, which had beeu put by in her writing desk, -be- Ihe was astonistei to find it had stopped; and at the saUl" instant sbo heard a scream of intense distress Irom her sister in tbe next room. Their brother, who had still h.en considered its going on favourably, had been seized with a su idea tit of suffocation, and had just breathed his last.
