Mountain may see fit to retrace / tha step'he has taken , and ¦ thus restore peace among : the people committed to his charge . It is stated that Mr . Mountain refuses to comply ^—A strange picture of . the chaotic condition of our National Church is here presented . Mr ; Mountain fulfils the injunctions of the rubric ; the inhabitants desire him to . depart from those injunctions ; the Bishop has no power to force the clergyman either iray ^ bntif' hopes" he will violate the Prayerbook I . And both .- the Bishop and the parishioners would be equally ^ shocked at any . proposal to reform that service from the strict rules of which they consider themselves

      justified in departing when they please .

Ex-|^» iye collieries are in the possession of the directors , and , " owing to the low rate of wages in India , a ton of e $ aLcan be raided , at the pit ' s mouth for a sum equal to l ^ ' riSd ^ ' f Tlie / prepe ^ t charge for conveyance by rail to Calcutta ia , i £ fl . 8 d .

The PJpmwr , in his reply , made eapocial allusion to Sardinia . He observed i—* Ji And now , one word with regard to the future . Final success must attend our arms . ( Cheering . ') Our security for that arises in the undaunted valour of

      n our troops ' 'and those of our allies . We hare a security also in the good faithdf the , Emper . orof the French , who is with us heart and soul in this contest . ( JLoud cheers . * ) We ; haver an additional'security in the alliance of the kingdom of Sardinia , which ia not so great , territorially , as either France or Englandy yet history remindsiis that small states haveplayed an important , stake in the world , and have exercised no inconaiderable influence on its destinies . We rertembeu the important part played , by HoUaad , by Venice * by Crenoa—smaller states , territorially , than the kingdom of Sardinia ; and , therefore , not despising the lessons of history , but , on the other hand , taking courage from the fact of this Sardinian is

      alliance , we say that , while the compact highly honourable to Sardinia , it is of this additional importance , that it has formed-itself into a league against tyranny . < " Hear , " and cheers . ) ; Well , then , with this prospect before us-rwith lie valour of our troops in unison with the troops of the Emperor of France—nations that have laid aside ancient antagonisms , « nd who are now actuated by no other feelings than an honourable rivalry , as brothers in arms fighting for a common cause , bound together by the indissoluble ties of friendshjp , and acting in the truest spirit of good faith—and above and before all relying upon the justice of our cause , it is impossible to believe that the war can be brought to any other conclusion than that which will secure to Europe safety against the future aggressions of Russia . "

      Cubious Post Transit . —A-live lizard , measuring nineteen inches in length , was posted in Somersetshire , directed to Dr . Pettigrew , in London , and actually arrived safe and lively after having undergone no less than eight processes of post-office stampings . Four postage stamps covered the weight . Alive bluebottle , which was placed as food for the lizard , was dead at the journey * s end . Muscovite : Wit . —The Augsburg Gazette has the following from St . Petersburg , under date of August 28 : — " The fine weather is coming to a close , and all the ' efforts of musicians and pyrotechnists can scarcely induce the frosty public of this city to visit Vauxhall and the Villa Borghese . Instead of these out-door amusements , the autumn has produced a plant in the field of political journalism ; from which we will pluck a few buds as

      specimens of Muscovite humour . It is a satire , having foe its title ' Extracts from Journals published in the year 1851 , in the Aleutian Islands , composed by Tatarinoff . ' In it , the English and French are made sport of . Thus we find , under the head of 'Trade Notices , ' the following : — ' . To be sold , 15 , 000 Sardinians , dressed up in French taste , with English spice , after the Turkish mode . ' In the toy-shop Of Charley Napier are to be disposed of ' real English floating batteries—good for use on dry land . ' An experienced gravedigger , of whom no complaint had been made in the course of a thirty years ' practice , ¦ * offers his services to the Allied armies on the most reasonable terms . ' The other extracts are in a similar strain . The novelty of such a treatment of political matters here affords great merriment to the public" . .

      The Testimonial , to Mr . Coubtauld , for his eminent anti-Church-rate services , is to be presented at Braintree , next Tuesday , when Sir W . Clay , M . P ., is to preside , and Mr . W . J . Fox , M . P ., and other public men will take part in the proceedings . We learn that the Eastern Counties Railway Company will issue return tickets at all their stations for one fare ; but London passengers must produce their presentations-ticket at the Shoreditch station . The Case ; of the Bankebs . —Strahan , Paul , and Bates , made their appearance at the Central Criminal Ballan

      Court on Wednesday , whesn , " tm account of Mr . - tinonot h ' avfng received ^ he indictment in time to study it sufficiently , the trial was postponed till next session . Mysterious Deatii . —A young woman was taken out of the Thames on Wednesday morning , close to Waterloo Bridge , and was found to bo in a state of insensibility , owing ito several largo wounds in her body , somo of them presenting the appearance of having been caused by irnpalemen £ . . Some timo previous to her death , she was questioned , but refused to give any particulars . There are . no spikes on the bridge to cause the incisions observed in her person .

      Poison in Cheesr . —A correspondent of the Times has been warning the London public against having their cheese coloured ; the colouring matter being turmeric and other poisonous substances . Desecration op the Dead . —Considerable indignation has been excited in Camden Town at the desecration of a burial ground which is being broken into for building purposes . Human remains have been carted away , and the stcnclt has been horrible . A public meeting on the subject terminated in several resolutions expressing tho indignation of the inhabitants . The vestry of St . Pancras has determined on taking up tho matter .

      which had been hailed by the captain . ; to help in srn > - pressing a mutiny . Some of the seamen had refused to do their work , and , puIUng out knives , had wounded the chief mate . The Cork police went on board fully armed , and arrested thirteen mutineers . Only ' * T < fe however , have been detained . Testimonial to Sib Charles Napibk . —Some friends and admirers of Sir Charles are endeavouring- to get up a testimonial in his behalf . ¦ Close of Salmon Fishing . —The salmon fishing in the rivers north of the Tweed closed on Friday week .

      Another Railway Acctbent . —Thomas Perry , a plate-layer on the North London line , was knocked down a few days ago by the buffer plank of an engine while at work on the rail . He is pot expected to recover . Strike of Colliers . —The men of the Penydarren and Rhymney works , Merthyr , have struck for an advance in their wages , which they conceive to be justified by the improved state of trade . An advance of ten per cent , had been promised them , but it was not to take effect until the next pay day . This postponement is the cause of grievance . Lord Carlisle has turned the . first sod of the Killarney and Tralee Railway .

      The Vienna correspondent of the Times ( Second Edition , Friday ) says : — " You have already learned that the news of the brilliant success of the Allies was most joyfully received by the middle and lower classes in this empire , and a leader in the Frankfort Post Zeitung of to-day shows that it has produced a deep impression in Central Germany . The paper in question , which always stoutly denied the

      assertion of some of the Prussian papers that Russia enjoyed the sympathy of a great part of the German nation , now says that the German press , ' from the Eider to Luxemburg , and from Tilsit to Trieste , looks on the victory of the Western Powers as the triumph of a principle and as an evident and visible sign of Divine justice . ' The Frankfort paper then states that the great news of the 8 th and 9 th was the cause of a regular 'jubilee' in the ancient city of the Caesars . "
