The authenticity of the Treatise On Christsan Doctrine, lately published and. attributed to Milton, is disputed, by the Bishop of Salisbury. We hope the Bish- .op will succeed in his. proofs, and rescue the author of Paradise Lost from the dis

 graceful imputation which now rests upon

 his memory.

 sir Hunter in enforcing the object of the meeting (the relief of the distressed weayersl related the following case of a poor weaver ins lManchestef, for the truth of which he c0ulds VOuch, as the statement came from most respectable manufacturer ofthat town :- .s. "A very worthy poor weaver applied to his master about three weeks since, begging earnestly for work, stating that he was in great want, and would thankfuslv do any thing for the means ofssuppcrting his exis- ' tence. His master assured him he did not want any more goods, his stock being very heav without any saiey and that he could not glye out any more work to any one. The man pressed very much, and at ianefIl his master said, "Weil, Jonathan. if ;t is sh. solutely necessary for you 10 weave a piece 10 prevent you from starving. I will let yoa have it, but cannot give you more than Is. Ipr IL t2sSls the regular price), for really do aots want any more goods made up for long time to comes Let me have it, master, beg, said the poor man, sswllatever you pav, me for it, pray let me have it." The piece was given to him to weave, and at the end of two days he brought it home, and on, carry ing it to his master begged of him to give him Is. Sd. for it, saying how l13Nch he was dis tressed for money. His master paid him the is. Cd. and the man went away. The mas AL man, thinking that the earnestness of his man ner must arise from excessive want, deter mined on following him home. He went to the cottage of the weaver, and found the wife alone in the lower room, making little gruel over poor fire. "Well, Mary,'' said the master, where is your husband?" "Oht sir, he is just come in from your house, and being very faint and. weary, he is just gone tU lie down in his bed" "I will go tip and see him Mary;" and immediately he went to the a.l upper room, where he saw the poor man Iy- ing on his bed, just in the agonies of death, 7 with his mouth open, and his hands clasped; . and after short convulsion he expired. The master was very much distressed, and came down stairs, hoping to be able to save the wife, who was in very emaciated con dition; she had just poured the grueI into basin, intending to carry it up to her husband. The master said, Come Mary, take a little yourself first.'' "No, sr,'' said she, not drop will take till Jonathan has had some. Neither of ts have had any thing within our lips but water for the two days we were wea- wing your piece; and thought it best to make a little gruel for us before we took any thing stronger, as it is so long since we tast- ed food but, sir, Jonathan shall haveit first" The master insisted on her taking some her self before she went mp to her husband, but she positively refused it: at last finding that he could not prevail on her to touch the gru- el, he was obliged to tell her thather husband x was dead. The poor woman set down thes@ basin of gruel. sunk on the floor, and imrne- :, diately expired.
