V Summer's bright roses only one have passed;

Gone is the burst; of the golden sheaves; it come at last.

Prophets of winter hours approaching fast!

Oh, autumn leaves! Wh look ya thus so brilliant in decay? Why {hr the dyia year when nature grieves, > c ye so gay “'35 richer hues than graced her opening day ?

0h, autumn leaves! Ye as yodon your crimson robes of mirth, ~Wbile dull decay a-oment scarce reprives Your forms from earth—- Yo to“ as happier far is death than birth.

Oh, autumn leaves! Lik‘e‘lou the dying saint in splendour glows ! . itli such faint pulse of life that feebly besves , At evening's close, His every grace with added glory glows.

DB. PUSEY IN DUIIIIN.

The following letter from Dr. Pusey has been recei- ved by a. clergyman ofthis diocese, who. on seeing' the passage in Dr. Miley’s. sermon, as published in the Morning Register ofthe 3lst of August, deemed it his duty to communicate with that divine, and the following is the answer received :—

“ Christ Church, Oxford, Sept. 7, 18-“.

“My DEAR Faicxn.-—-I thank you for sending me the painful extract from Dr. Miley's sermon, in which he is reported to have stated that I ‘went about through their churches and convents, adoring the blessed encha- rist, and assisting very devoutly, as it is reported, at the bon sacrifice of the mass,’ and that I ‘ profess to adore the cucharistic sacrifice as indentical with that which was oll'ered upon the cross.’

“I am the more surprised at this statement, because Dr. Miley was one of the individuals with whom the Romsnist newepapers state that I had a discussion on some chief point of (Roman) Catholic theology,. That discussion was upon transubstantiation, to which I ob- jected as a mode ofexplaining the mystery of the holy eucharist opposed to antiquity. But the Roman Catho- lic doctrine of the ‘ sacrifice of the mass’ depends entirely (as I have repeatedly stated from Bishops Rid- Iey, Andrews, Jewell) on the doctrine of transubstan- tiation, (see Tracts for the Times, No.81, p. 7—10, Letter to the Bishop of Oxford, p. 135, Lcttcr to Dr. Jelflp. 64—66;) and in one place (Tract 81, p. 74,) after saying that ‘the language of the council on the eucharistic sacrifice is of itself capable of a good interpretation, were it not that the terms employed in it must be explained with reference to that Church’s ac- knowledged doctrines of transubstantiation and purga- tory,’ I added, in small capitals, as a further caution, “sits nocrnmn or run sacmricn CANNOT as THE SAME smart TRANSUBS’I'ANTIATION is HELD AND WHEN rr is nor.’ I objected on the same ground (ib., p. 8, note) to Nicholl's statement, ' that the sacrifice on the cross and that altar were the same, because it is the same Jesus Christ who ofl'ers himselfin the one as in the other.’

“ The statement, then, that is attributed to Dr. Miley, that ‘I adore the eucharisiic sacrifice, as indentical with that which was offered on the cross,’ is incorrect in two ways. lat—That I have always spoken of a ' commemorative sacrifice in the holy eucliarist, pleading the merits ofthe one sacrifice on the cross,’ (as do our goal divines,) and objected to its ‘ indentification.’

ly—Tliat I have ‘ disclaimed’ instead of ‘ professing’ the adoration in it.-—(Lctlcr tn the Bis/top of Orford, p. I35.) While in Dublin, I did nothing inconsistent with this teaching. I did not ‘go to their churches

. and convents,‘ as persons might suppose from this state-

’ihinking that the service

ment, for the purpose of worship. I did not go, but de- clined going, expressly to the service of the mass, not . should be (as it unhappily I!) a spectacle. [did go to the convents for the sake o becoming acquainted with their system—was shown their chapels—witnessed the reception and profession (ofthe sisters, and, being present there, could not but desire to behave raverently, and to join in the prayers, as far as I conscientiously could. But I did not adore

, the holy eucharist; and when the holy communion was 1..7jcelebrated at the ‘ profession,’

‘plways communicating,) ldid no act implying adora- I was in a place allotted to spectators;

(the newly professed

(and among them was a chess ;) and to prevent misconcep-

tion, I explained, when I was invited, that there were parts of the service (the invocation of saints) in which

could not join, in case this should be an objection to my being present.

" I am sorry that the act has been thus misinterpreted. I asked advice beforcI went to the ceremonies, and was told that in ‘ Dublin everybody went to see every- thing.’ I knew that the English went universally to the ceremonies at Rome, and I believe most who have been abroad have been to these same ceremonies at which I was present. I thought, then, that no harm would result from my going, and, as I said, I did not go out of idle curiosity. When I was told what use was made, tn the Roman Catholic papers, of my having been present at these rites,I abstained from going to another, which, as belonging to a different order, I should have wished to have witnessed.

_ "One does not like to obtrude upon others explana- tions of one’s feelings and motives, but if you think any ofour Church are disquieted by the misconceptions to which so unhappy a publicity has been given, you may make what use of this explanation you judge best.

deeply respect individuals in them, the result of what I saw of the opinions of Romanists in Ireland was a painful conviction that Rome had, at present no dis-

position to: amend those things in herwhich make

continued separation a duty. We must all long for the unity which our Church'prays for; and if we earnestly

r pray for it, God may again restore a visible unity to his ,fChurch in truth and holiness; but until God,.givos to Rome grace to lay aside her corruptions; and to us to

he sermon alluded to in the above letter was dc,- livered by the Very Rev. Dr. Miley, in Saint Audotlen s parochial Chapel, Bridge-street, August Dr. Mt eyi we believe, is considered rather an eminent person among the Roman Catholics. The allusmn to Dr. ~ was in these words :— .

Puzei'ou have heard how the most profound and eruditg diviites of the great Protestant University of OXIOF have adopted the Catholic view of all the long contig- verted doctrines of our Church, and that the most dla- tinguished of them all has been amongst us._ gomg about through our churches and convents, adormgthe blessed eucharist, and assisting very devoutly, as It IS reported, at the holy sacrifice of the mass. Now, con‘ trast all this with the language and conduct of the Established Archbishop in 1629. With ‘ a file of ions- keteers’ he invades a chapel not fifty paces from this, ‘ and seizes upon several priests in the act of masstng. Massing—that is, in celebrating what Dr. Pusey and the first authorities of the Established Church now pro- fess to adore as the eucharistic sacrifice, identical With that which was offered on the cross."

THE REC‘I‘OR 0F I‘ENITON AND THE BISHOP 0F EXETER.

It will be seen, says the Western Times, . by the fol- lowing correspondence, that Bishop Pliillpotts has commenced proceedings against the Rev Ilenry Erskine Head. The truth may be preached with boldness but not with impunity. We believe that Mr. Head Will do honour to the great protestant principle which he has 50 forcibly maintained. It was stated in Feuitonipll Wednesday, that the Bishop had declared at Mr. Justice Coldridge’s, at Ottery, that he would strip Mr. Head of his gown :—

Palace, Exeter, 13th Sept., 184l.

Rev. Sir,——My attention has been called to a printed paper, purporting to be “ A View ofthe Duplicity of the present System of Episcopal Ministraiion, in a letter addressed to the parishioners of Feniton, Devon, oc- casioned by the Bishop of Exeter’s circular on Confirma- tion, by Henry Erskine Head, A. M., Rector ofFeniion, Devon.”

This paper, Iain informed, was published on the 2lst of August last, in the IVesttrn Times newspaper, with your name appended to it.

I think it right to inform you that I deem it necessary to take proceedings against you, as the author of this paper. With this declaration of my purpose, I now ask whether you admit yourself to be the author or not.

It may be proper for me to add, that I am induced to take this step, by my having understood that you avow your readiness to declare yourself the author, and to submit to legal investigation of the case.

I am, Reverend Sir, your obedient servant, Rev. II. E. Head. H. Exe'rsn. Rectory, Feniton, l4tli Sept., 1841.

My Lord,———I have had the honour of receiving ,a letter from your Lordship, enquiring ifI am the author of a letter in the Western Times, on “ The Duplicity of the Present System of Episcopal ministration,” &.c.—to which question I have the honour to reply in the affirmative.

I beg leave also to state, that the subject of that let- ter is more fully entered into in another letter in the IVestern Times of last Saturday, “ To the Spiritual Peers in Parliament, on their abuse of Prelatical Power, in requiring unlawful and contradictory subscription from Candidates for Ordination in the ministry of the National Church” (or words to that effect—for I have not the docutnent at hand)-—-ol which letter I also ac- knowledge myselfto be the author-mas indeed my own signature, appended to the document, sufliciently at- tests.

I also beg leave to have the honour of stating to your Lordship, with reference to my having declined, former— ly, on a similar occasion, to give your Lordship explicit answers—that this proceeded, not from hesitation to avow my sentiments, but in order that 1 might first more fully lay before the public (which [have since been enabled to do) what those sentiments really are, and on what principles they are founded.

I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship’s most obedient humble servant, Hannr ERSKINE Hean. To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter.

AN IRON LIGHTHOUSE. (From the London Times.)

An enormous tower, which for the last month has daily been seen rising from the ground within the walls ofthe manufactory of Messrs. Bramah and Robinson, of Belgrave-place, Pimlico, and during that time created much admiration and inquiry in the neighbourhood, has at length completed its growth and attained to its matu- rity. It proves to be a lighthouse, which is intended to be placed on the Morant-point, on the Western coast of the Island of Jamaica.

This lofty building is composed entirely of iron, and is the first of the kind that has been attempted. Having closely inspected it, and the principle on which it is founded, we think it will answer the purpose for which it is designed. In architectural appearance it very much resembles the Celtic towers which are to be seen in Ireland, the origin and uses of which have been mat- ter ofdispuie among antiquaries.

The height of this edifice from the foundation to the roof is 105 feet, 15 feet of which will be sunk into the solid rock, and loaded in and out with rubble and con- crete, which will give an entire security to it. The whole tower is formed of iron plates, one inch in thick- ness, and of these plates there are nine tiers, eleven plates at the bottom and nine at the top; the whole are strongly bolted together with iron flanges, and when permanently fixed will also be cemented with iron ce- ment, and thus, in effect, become 0 ’ ' ' ‘ 're wh

n “ ONE 01“ THE BALE GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNTHRY.

(Ireland, its Scenery, 5‘0- by Mrs- Ham)

“ He was a fine man entirely afther the hounds. Be the dads! the ould foxes, crafty chaps, that knew every pack in the county, would never be at the throuble’ to run away from him; for whenever fightipg Leary—his name, you see, was Misthcr John, only ‘ fighting was a ct name his friends had for him—whenever fighting Leary led the hunt, they’d give in at onc’t. Och hone! he was no one’s enemy but his own! oply he never kep the guineas; it was a grate word With him, that he could never turn two guineas into three, but he could turn two into one—so, signs by it, his sons, in spite of the dacent drop that was in ’em, turned from squrreens to worse—sure enough he was the fine man! With such a generous spirit; as long as ever he could get credit for a hogshead of wine, it was running at the rate of a hunt, all day and all night; and, though you mayrnis- doubt my word, it’s as thrue, be the dads! as the light of heaven, that whenever any kind of a dirty tradesman came to ask for his money (them tradesmen, somehow, war always mighty troublesome to the real ould sort), he wouldn’t be in the laste degree ofi'ended, but inVIte him to the run of the house as long as he plased to take it; and if he wouldn’t, the masther ’ud lock him up in the strong room, where the titledeeds and plate used to be kept, when they war in it; then feed him ,up like a fighting-cock, until the poor mane craythur, With a inouse’s heart, would roar to get back to his business; and then to be sure the bill was compromised, or some- thing, and the fellow sent back as he came, barring the claret and wild fowl.” “ But did not the tradesman bring an action against him for false imprisonment?” was our very natural question, although, of course, we anticipated what the answer would be. “ Oh, yarrah! what good would that do him”! sure never the witness he’d get out of the masther’s house! not but what he was a grate friend intirely, at the first going off, to the lawyers; drawing custodiums, and actions, and breaches, and fiery-faces, and processes, and proving alibis for his friends whenever any little accident happened. And then they called him a capital intilligent fellow; but when they had wrack’d every thread in the house into smillierccns, they said he had been all his life a fool’— just think of the implidence of that! By the same token, one day, there was a jury to try a poor boy for sheep~staling; and the masther knew he was innocent, because he was a gilly of his own, and the reason he was ‘took’ was just this: he was walking the mail fair and asy, when he sees a blagiiard driving along a couple of nice young wethers, that were unruly bastes; so the stranger says, says he, ‘ Honest man, will ye plaze to drive thim wethers for me till I take a wink 0’ sleep,’ says he. So the simple boy did as he was bid ; and the stranger was nothing but a dirty informer, that got him sent to jail, and to trial, for robbing a farmer that said he lost the two sheep. Well, the masther swore he’d get him off; and sure enough he did; but as the poor fellow was ‘took’ wid the goods upon him, he couldn’t prove an alibi; so the masther sent a civil message to the foreman to say, if he didn’t acquit the prisoner, he’d shoot him when convanient; and, in coorse, the boy was ‘ not guilty,’ for the foreman knew his honour always kep’ his word. And in prool'of that I’ll tell ye another story. My own uncle’s first cousin had the pro- mise of a new lease for three lives; and having his lionour’s word for it, be new he was safe, and, wasn‘t affeerd to go agin him at the election. So, when all» was over, and the masther was bet, Joe Nolan goes to him for the_ lease. ‘In cour‘se,’ says the masther, ‘ye must have it; Isaid it; arid whatI say I’ll do, I do, ever and always, Mr. Joe Nolan; and, mark me, says he. 1’" have your corporation in the county jail,’ says he, ‘ before a month of Sundays goes over yer head, 1330‘th lease ye’lljget any way; and here it’s for ye, Signed. Saled, and now delivered according to law; so make yerself scarce,_ye blaguard,’ says he, ‘ or I’ll be afther gmn’ ye a skin-full of broken bones to carry to the_new mimber o' parliament.’ Well, .loe Nolan was ofi'in a hurry, I’ll go bad. But he had his lease to the fore, and ’twas [title he heeded the masther’s anger. So, When he got to his own boreen, he takes out the parch- ment, and reads it; and, och! what do ye think? he finds the three lives in his new lease were the lives of

> three boys that war to be hung the next day for murder:

and that’s the way the masther ke ’ his ro ’ Nolan. Oh! but he ‘was the fin: maul: hfglfiZdngli “spirit! Somehow—I heard my 'father tell it—the grand jury and the judges ofi'ended .him; for with a full purse or an empty one, he was mighty hiah in himsilf —-why not? And having given him ofi'encg, he went to take . his sate with a padlock on each of the pockets of his big coat, and one whispered, and the other whis r. ed : and at last , the jidge—and a hate-spoken liIIle ‘ Misther John,’ says he, ‘it' its
