Tattingstone Place was on Friday the scene of one of those acreeable meets" that unhappily are now seldom or never witnessed in this part of the Eastern Counties, the deservedly popular occupier, Major hirst, having issued invitations to all the members of the "Essex and Suffolk," far and near, to partake of a hunt breakfast at his residence. This act of kindness and liberality was lhe more appreciated as Ihe Major is no longer a fox hunter, but proof enough was given of his being one of the right sort, whose chief pleasure consists in seeing every one happy around him. All things that be thought of in the shape of refieshme it were provided on a most liberal scale. There was a lara muster ol scarlet coats present, headed by the M. and Including, besides others, many of the gallant 16th Lincers from tbe Ipswich barracks.

The announcement which we copy into our present publication from the Essex Herald informs us that tho selection has fallen on the Rev. Wm. Rtitpp Anv Rector of Little Bnddow.

The Bishop has taken such nains to become thoroughly acquainted with everv portion of his his Diocese that we ieel persuaded that the peculiar wants of not Lye escaped his and its neighbourhood can- notice. 1 he Clergyman whose name oc tli fnture Arehdenenn is not. ti 'ore. le premature us. to expres any opinion as to Qualifications for SO uiguiiicu pnww V'e are sure that Mr.

Ady has been chosen by the Bishop with a due regard to all tlie circumstances of the Archdeaconry; and though we should have rejoiced had selection fallen on ono residing in the immediate tirinitv of the importunt town from which it derives its name, we snau iuoa. wo uuo as iu ins future labours. Among the wants of the Church in this'neighhourhood we may mention one which we hope will engage the attention of the new Archdeacon. We believe it will be very generally admitted that there is a great lack of adhesion in the clerical body of this part of the Diocese. There is, indeed, no actual split, and a feeling of friendli-ness appears to pervade the "hole; still, anything like unanimity of sentiment or unity of action does not exist.

A member of the Church of England going from one parish to Rnother seems rather to be joining a new Church than removing to another station of the same. Any ministerial intercourse he may have enjoyed with his former pastor is not handed over to the new clergyman into whose parish he enters, and any useful personal aid he may have afforded is thenceforth very frequently lost to tho Church. He finds, moreover.oftentimes some striking differences in the sermons, services, or parochial arrangements, which may seem to him objectionable, or at least to require such explanation as he has no one at hand ready to givo him. It is true lhat in most cases a new-comer generally receives a call from tlie clergyman but, meeting as perfect strangers, the visit seldom results in more than 10 interchange of civilities. effectual remedy.

Our Church admits, and wisely, a very wide latitude of comprehension. Beyond the plainly-marked confines of Scripture truth she does not nicely decide what opinions a Clergyman is bound to hold, nor does she too closely prescribe in what way he is to carry out the requirements of her Scriptural and beautifully simple Liturgy. Much is, much must he, left to individual discretion would that all the clergy possessed this valuable quality Whether, ou some points of doctrine, Church does not even permit a wider range of difference than the Scripture warrants, is a question into which we shall uot now enter. Whilst, however, such difl'erences do exist, and, to a certain extent, produce important distinctions and various modes of performing the services, the evils which we have enumerated cannot be entirely obviated but they might be greatly mitigated. We believe that a greater intercourse between the Clergy on some common ground, presided over by one who, in addition to sound Scriptural views of truth, could he looked up iu io, tu.

ns a wm v. oi aim ouou piut.a. uu iiiiioi iu ii.a object. Had such a man within two or three miles of the tow possessing ample means, and willing to gather tlie Clergy around him in a manner suited to their ministerial relation to each other, been appointed to the Archdeaconry, he would, we believe, have wielded a most important and useful influence. A body of Clergy, united in the bonds of brotherly love, might learn much from each other might bring many apparent differences into unifor- miiy ana migni give 10 eucn inner mucn ministerial aiu on IwiMt-fA it ui uiuciculcj uiiLui they might at least agree to differ, and learn to waive some of that ultra-parochialism which vainly supposes that, whilst the Church does uot require ull the Clergy to think or act I strictly alike, she does expect each Layman to think with i the clergyman of his parish and attend his ministry, to which ever side of the controverted points that Clergyman may happen to adhere.

A little more discretion exercised with reference to this latter question would, we think, tend to prevent some persons from being driven to various forms of dissent who might remain lailhful members of tbe Church, though they cannot approve of either of the doctrines taught by the Clergyman of the parish in which they reside, or of his manner of performing his ministerial duties. It would, we venture to think, have been a boon to the Church in this district if the opportunity had beeu taken advantage of to plant in our midst an Archdeacon who, in addition to such other qualifications as his office may require, could have succeeded in gaining lhe confidence and affection of his brethren, and who, regarding the general good of the Church and of religion as far superior to mere local or personal interests, would have been aide to give them wise and judicious counsel. Although, however, the Bishop's selection has fallen on a Clergyman residing at some distance, and. therefore, unable to exercise to the fullest extent this salutary influence, we trust that the new Archdeacon will, by frequent visits and friendly personal acquaintance, gain the affections of the Clergy and thus, to some extent, to form that bond of union amongst them which they appear to us so greatly to need nt the present time. We know lhat when he comes amongst them he will meet with a frank and courteous reception at their hands.

NO I KS OF THE WEEK. The election of President of the Federal Stains hpul resulted, as was expected, in the return of Mr. Lincoln1 an estimated majority of 225,000 votes. In New York City General M'Clellan was the favourite. His majority here over Lincoln was The difficulty" between the Federal Government and Brsiy.il concerning the capture ol the Florida Confederate steamer in the port of Bahia is likely to be settled by an iviende on the part of the Government of Washingion.

The United States' Minister to the Brazilian Government, in disavowing the act of the Wacbusetts, adds It will he to his Government, as it is to the undersigned, a source of very sincere regret that, if such an event must of necessity have occurred, it did not take place in the waters the Power which, If) days after hearing of the rebellion the United Slates, joyfully and hopefully proclaimed our iehels a belligerent' Power." This is a severe snub for the British Lion. The last act of the Germano-Danish tragedy has been played out, and the curtain falls on a deed which blurs and blots tho historic page and tarnishes for ever the name of Germany. On Wednesday last the ratifications of the so-called Treaty of Peace were exchanged and in a proclamation issued at Copenhagen on Thursday last the King of Denmark takes his farewell of the people of Schleswig and Holstein, louchiiigly dwelling on "the most painful sacrifice of all," the separation from his Kingdom lit those inhabitants of Schleswig who were bound to Denmark both by sentiment and language." The present is dark, but King CuitisxiAN does not despair for his Kingdom. "We have lost much," lie says, "but have not lost hope. The future belongs to those uho are iu earnest." It may be taken as a striking illustration of the "touchiness" of international sentiment in the present day that the richly-merited fate of the German murderer, Franz Mfi.LKU, has been well-nigh elevated by his countrymen into a casus belli against Englishmen, if not against England.

The calculating persistence with which the criminal held to his assertions of innocence even when on the scaffold probably with the hope of a reprieve at the last moment, and the elaborate efforts of the German Legal Protection Society to maintain that Muller was innocent continued after he had been convicted on the clearest evidence, had so impressed the minds of the Germans with ideas cf his innocence of lhe murder thnt the only conclusion they could arrive at, when informed that the convict would be executed, was that the poor German tailor was to he sacrificed as a victim to English irritation and disappointment at the triumph of the German Powers over Denmark. In justice to German common sense it should be stated that this extraordinary notion was not universally received hut it was so prevalent among some classes of Germans ihat even in Berlin, the capital of Prussia, we are told it was scarcely safe for English residents to appear." This feeling was much fostered and exaggerated by special I'oirespondence from England, filled with exculpatory arguments; and when the report of the execution arrived ill Berlin, without the confession of the criminal, the excitement was so great that the Government, which had received intimation of that fact, at once forwarded it to the journals for publication. We may hope that the "Ich habe cs gethm" pronounced by tiie mulefacior in the ear of the German clergyman on the brink of eternity, will effectually explode this bubble irritation. But there are yet people who affect to doubt nhether Dr. Cappel understood aright Muli.ek's last words and one of these ingeniously suggests that the last word of the sentence might have been gesaght, instead gctluui, and then the sentence I have said it" would have been only a last positive assertion of his innocence.

Unfortunately for this ingeuious hut not very wise theorist Dr. CaprKi, has repeated, in a letter to the Morning Papers, every word, in German and English, of this last interlocu ion and the concluding question and answer strike away every resting place, whether for reasonable doubt or cavil. We trust our neighbours in Germany, now the fact is so clearly proved, will do us tho justice to believe thnt a judicial murder is not the English mode of retaliation for either disappointment or wrong. The inquest at Evith on three of the victims (since increased in number to thirteen) of the terrible gunpowder explosion at Belvedere is concluded, as was generally anticipated, with the verdict that the calamity originated in one of the barges which was unloading at the iettv of the magazine but how that explosion was caused the jury have no evidence to show."

Deceased resided with Ins wife and family in Angel Line, Stratford, and is reported to have been a sober and steady man. An inquest has since been held on 'he body, and a verdict of Accidental Death" recorded. On the same duy a waggoner, who had called at Mecsnn wharf, near Bow Bridge, Stratford, to take a load fell Irom the waggon on to the quay, breaking his neck ami died immediately. Tm: Sewage in the Thames. At the Metropolitan Board of Works, on Friday, Mr.

Bazalgette. the engineer, made a report relative to the polluted stale of the river in consequence of the discharge of the sewage into it. Ha said that a report had gone afloat through the newspapers that an epidemic had arisen in Woolwich in consequence of the effluvia from lhe discharge of the sewage into the river. Iia had made inquiry, and found that the drainage of the high-level senor was uiscuargea into me river at two hours after hteb water, ana was therelore carried awav and did roi. i uc io-ievei uiscnargeu itselt into the i iver at low water and ws coiisiM uenuv lorceil uack hy he I Jo.

lo months lhe pumping station would be completed and then ine whole of it would be discharged into the river at the turn of the tale and carried away. At the same time it was not the sewage that had caused any disease at Woolwich for the epidemic alleged extended to Charlton. Upon inquiry he found that the cause of the three deaths in a family at that place had been scarlet fever, and the father was now ill from the same disease. The report was received and k. entered on ths minutes.

At the weekly meeting of the Wool- "tai uoaru oi neailh, tieiu ou Thursday niHit Mr K.xaggs moved for the appointment of a committee to inquire 'ut0 causes of the present great mortality in the district from epidemic disease. He said that the Registrar-General's rfPur 1 proved that the mortality at Woolwich now far exceeded UL lue Per'u. wiien cholera raged in 1S54. Tbe prevailing oue.me lypnus lever Had struck down the wealthy and the ticumj, even more man tne poor and those who were compelled to reside in crowded habitations. Woolwich was naturally a healthy town, twice as healthy as London, but now the rate'ol mortality was several limes greater.

Alter consideration, ami obtaining all the information he could, he was convinced that this state of things arose from the discharge of the metropolitan sewage into the Thames at the ouif.ill works near BarKtng Creek, or from defective trappings of the local sewers. At all events a searching investigation was requir Kmiggs's motion was adopted and a committee appointed. est Ham, Stratford, and South-Essex Dispensary, Week ending Nov. 12.

AVE LEY. EXTRAORDINARY INQUEST UN A CHILD buried 15 months ago. On Saturday last an inquest was held at the Crown and Anchor Inn. Aveley, before C. C.

Lewis, Deputy-Coroner, on the remains of a child found in a moat 15 months ago, and buried without any information being given to the police of the circumstunce. The case caused intense excitement. Mr. Raivlisos watched the proceedings ou behalf of Mr. Cook.

Walter Shead, the younger, deposed I live at Chadwell Heath, but wa3 formerly in the employ of Mr. Cook about six years, and left last Michaelmas, just before last haryest twelve months, ou a Sunday evening, I was in a meadow behind the house, when I saw something floating in the water ot the moat. 1 look a stick and puggled it to me. It was wrapped in a piece ot linen, and tied with a piece of string. I cut the string with my knife and found it was 11 child.

It was quite naked, and a piece of rag round the neck. I called my father, and told him what I had found. He called Mr Cook and we all three went to the spot. I then saw it was a male' child. 1 heard my father ask Mr.

Cook what he should do with it, and master said, Pury it out of the way." Master then went indoors. I saw my lather remove it. On the following morning (Monday) I went down on the 5Ir Cook was riding and I was walking. Master said "Have you told anyoue about what you have found?" I said' No Mr. Cook said, Don't tell vour mother." I said, "No Sir" Mr.

Cook said, I thought I saw some bovs there- did vou tell them anything about it I said, I did not see any one Master said, Don't you say anything about it; if vou do we shall have to have them fresh up, and there would be such a set out about 1: don't tell anv body, and I will give vou a handsome present." I did not hear anything more about it uumjuai ueiuie leaving, mst Michaelmas I sad. "Muter would thank you for that handsome present vou promised He said, "1 will give you something." The last Sui me. un dav ue'ore 1 le" Oook's employ he called me into testable and gave me a sovereign 10s. in silver and a hall sovereign, und said, Don't tell your mother I gave you thai Since that time he has said nothing about it to ine of I to him I told my mother what 1 lound just before Mr. Cook gave me the money.

The child was wrapped in a diriv piece of rig aud a piece of rag round the neck. I don't know whether tt was tied tiuht or uot. It was a boy I am sure. I cau give no information how it came there. George Shead, father of the first witness, said I am the father of the last witness, and live at Chadwell Heath.

I was iu the employ of Mr. Cook until last Michaelmas; about the tirst week in last harvest twelve months, on a Sunday eveiiiti" I was talking to my master near the nag's my boy called to me, and 1 went to him. I went back to my liiaste'r and he met me; 1 said to master, "The bov 1ms found a dead child." Mr. Cook said "Where I said in that black ditch we all three went to tbe spot. Mr.

Cook said Take a shovel hiflp vwiir I "mtrt 0 uuu go uuu uury it, ucorge. 1 iuu so It was a was wrapped up 111 a piece of rag.

Mr. Cook said notliinc about it i i iook it up oy ins dueclion, and he said, "We will take it down iu the hollow and bury it deeper," and we did so he tol me not to say anything about it, and asked me whose child 1 thought it was. I said, I don't know, Sir." I cannot give any liiiormatiou how the child came there. Inspector Rut-ledge came to me about it.

I accompanied him, and pointed out the spot. I dug for the child, and found some hones. I know them to be bones, and I believe them to bo the bones of the child; Inspector Rutledge took charge of them the child looked fresh when it was found. I cannot sav how long the Irish people had left before finding the the Irish had been pea-picking. I spoke to my wife about it just before 1 ten, the Irishwomen washed their linen in tbe horse-pond I never saw them near the moat; I wanted to look at the rac rounj tUe eiuttfg neeki but Ur Cook gajdi bury ft as snmeime Injector of Police, at Orsett, said-From and saw ZT?

Accordingly, on the 6th, a second gathering took place when the Governor read the following answer: "Although I am not acquainted wnh the boundaiies or extent of vour lands, or with (he claims of individuals or tribes, what I shall therefore do is this: 1 shall order thai settlement shall at once be assigned to you as far as possible in such localities ns vou may select, which shall he secured Crown grant to vonrselves and your children. 1 will inform you in what manner the residue of your lands will be dealt with. But as it is right iu some way to mark tny sense of the honourable manner in which you conducted hostilities neither robbing nor murdering, but respecting the wounded, 1 promise you that in the ultimate settlement of vour lands tbe amount taken shall not exceed one-fourth of "the whole land.

The next few days were occupied in pointing out the spots on which the natives were to locate themselves, mid ihe question of purchase was remitted to Auckland, hither many of the principal owners accompanied Messrs. Fox- I he area of land suriendered is abom iWOWO acres, of which onlv one-fourth has been actual confiscated little more, in fact, than will sufhre to locate a strong party of what are called mihtarv settlers civilians from Australia aud the southern pans'of New 'Zealand, serving as soldiers during ihe war, aud pledged to locate themselves on oO-acre allotments when it is over. How far the negotiations for the purchase or the laud returned lo the late rebels nave progressed is not known; but much of their desire to -ell all ihcy had arose fiom the wish to abandon New Zealand and settle at one of the South Sea Islands. An Auckland hief some years ago purchased a portion of the island ol Etaratoiiga, ami keeps up constant trad" in oranges and produce between his new home and the colony.

TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. The Calcutta papers, dated October 15, e.re filled with details of the appalling fleets of the late cyclone. Every day brings intelligence of fresh misfortunes. Iu one district alone (Dinmoud Haibour), aud the country between il and Calcutta, it has been computed that not less than 5,000 souls have perished drowned by the land flood of the storm wave. Great exertions were being made by the Calcutta community to organise a system of relief for the survivors of this dreadful visitation.

A steamer had been chartered lo convey medicines, blankets, rice, and water in the Diamond Harbour districts, and left Calcutta on the Hth ult. for this purpose. The following statement of the destruction to life and landed property iu the town and suburbs of Calcutta is gleaned from leports submitted by the superintendents of tbe different divisions to die Deputy Commissioner of Police, Captain Reveley: Casualties Natives killed, 41 ditto wounded, 12 puckah houses occupied by natives damaged, 1, duio destroyed, IS; kucha ditto destroyed, Europeans killed, ditto ditto houses damaged, ditto destroyed. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal was to leave Darjeeling on the Pith, en route for Calcutta, when il was hoped that uo time would be lost in orgnuising a strong establishment, placed under efficient supervision, for the removal of ihe carcases of men and cattle which are scatlered all over the portions of the southern parts of Calcutta visited bv the gale and for the removal also of the dead contaminating the air on the banks of the liver and on its waters. The Indian Daily News says it is cerium lhat the damage caused throughout the country by the ravages of the cyclone has becu immense.

All the minor post offices in the districts have been utterly destroyed, the records lost, and iu more than two or three lustanees ihe postmasters themselves have perished. The mails sent southward are returned there is no one to receive them; and the dak ruuners, so far from being able to find the men who should relieve them, cannot even find traces of the villages where they used to live. Tlie Englishman says ir" There is nothing to report since our last, our holidays being still in full force. Nothing is thought of but the immense loss and suffering caused by the hurricane which passed over us on the nth. The cnndition we are in for want of docks and oilier means for repairing the damage has become painfully prominent, as well as the general neglect of tlie port.

One result of this misfortune will be, it is to be hoped, immediate steps towards improving if. Our observatory is iu charge of a native, who may be a very good mathematician, but was evideutly helpless iu a case like this. He notes a remarkable variation in the baroiuetei on the 4th, but with the same intelligence as a machine he made no leport on the subject. So ihe violence of the storm passed over Kedgeree live hours before il reached Calcutta, hut no one ou the electric telegraph establishment was in-elligent enough to report it, nor in Calcutta have we any signals lor the information of the shipping. Yet we are subject to hurricanes and cyclones, though not always so serious us this last, but which almost always come up the bay from the south at about ten miles an hour, giving the electric lelegruph many hours to warn the port and town." THE BOMBAY MAIL.

Dates from Calcutta are to the 20th and from Bombay to the 2tilh of October, The Viceroy of India arrived at the capital of the Puniab on the 14lb of October, and met with an enthusiastic reception from all classes of the European and native communities. On ihe 15th his Excellency the Viceroy, alter a public leve'e, gave a private durbar to his Highness the Maharajah of Cashmere aud trt oilier native duels. On the 1Mb his Excellency Paid vice regal return visits to the maharajahs, and conducted the ceremony of the Rajah of Ku; portula's investiture with the Star of liulia.

According to the Delhi Gazette tJie Khan of Kokan, having leariu-d that 12.U00 Russian troops had marched against Tashkund, stalled from Kohan with 8,000 troops and gave them battle at Tashkund. 'The Russians, it is reported, were victorious, and the Khan of Kokan was compelled to retreat. The Russians, after taking Tashkuud, marched against Kokan aud occupied it.

If the treaty should not have the result of opening lhe gules of Rome, it would yet greatly facilitate ihe solution of the ltomini ij net-lion.

At the monthly meeting of the members, held last week at the Waggon and Hurses Inn, the subject of attempting to augmeut the members of the corps was discussed, and it was proposed to hold a public meeting at tbe Town Hall, to consider the best means of carrying out that object. It is understood lhat lhe corps is this year entitled to a sum of nearly 10 in the shape of a Government grant. It is suggested thai with this amount, and the increased assistance of those gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood who cannot join the ranks, that the corps can be considerably strengthened by equipping, either partially or entirely, a number of respectable young men, who, with the sanction of their employers, would enrol themselves wore it not for the expense of uniform'.

The plan proposed has been adopted with success in most other towns. Tiik latk W.

He was instrumental in ouiaining large sums ot money from a distance in aid of the distressed operatives, and was, in fact, the first to plead ineir cause ueiore the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House. His subsequent connexion with the Borough Relief Committee, and the undeserved odium which was then cast upon him, are matters too well known to be recapitulated in this brief notice. His urbanity, his geniality of disposition, his untiring devotion to his clerical duties while in this town, made him manv friends among all parties and sects. Mr. Parkes was educated at Cambridge.

After preparatory education he was entered at Queen's College, where he was very popular among his fellow-students, and filled a post which is to many the highest object of ambition, namely, the 'Captaincy of the College During the period of his command the 'scull and cross-bones' the college badge of the racing-boat were well to the fore on the river.

After leaving college Mr. Parkes was engaged in tuition for some portion of time at Cheltenham, where he luiuou ior some portion of time at Cheltenham, wiiere he was very successful. At length he entered into Holy Orders, and was ordained to Hurst on the nomination of the Rev. J. H.

Attention to this subject is not confined to the Capital. Al Birmingham the Town Council have the matter under their consideration and there is ground for hope that before many years the great Colchester cesspool, between North BridRe and Middle Mill, will be permitted to revert to its original and natural character of a wholesome siream of water, carrying health in its course, instead of stagnating into permanent sources of disease.
