Mr. Tomkyns, Rector of Greenford, in a letter to the
Morning Chro- Bich', partially- contradicts the statement given last week as to his treat- ment of the widow Hinge : but the 1.tter is written in so slovenly and contitsed a style, that it is difficult to make out what the author means to state. It is said that only one application was made to him to attend Hinge and administer the sacrament ; and that no such message, as that Mr. Tornkyns was going oat to dinner and would attend hint the next day it' lie were alive. was delivered. Mr. Toinkyns also states that the fees might have beets remitted. it' 1w had not been threatened by the parties with exposure in the Disietteh newspaper if he levied them.
The Sheffield Chronicle. which lalan to he published in February did not appear last week. having finished its unfortunate career on the Saturday preceding. It is computed that, in the two attempts to establish a fourth paper Sheffield. w hich have already failed, the specu- lators have thrown away about 8,000/. of their own or of other people's money.—Shijficid hatpcurient.
