Confessedly there is the greatest diversity on these beads. Ten shillings would be ample in some cane, fifty shillings not too much in others. Far better than pay per head would be pay for what is wanted. It is agreed that Go vernment should defray the cost of all that is needful to a volunteer regiment's efficiency ; but why cannot it do this on the requisition of the regiment, if supported by the recommendation of its own inspectors ? Drill-grounds and rifle-ranges might thus be provided in all cases ; cloth might be furnished, if desired, and thus all appearance of pay might be avoided, while fuller relief was given to the purse of the individual volunteer. To do thin would, indeed, require a little organizer ion, and the appointment of one or two additional inspectors. But it cannot be doubted that the result would give infinitely greater satisfaction to the force, and infinitely greater assurance of its efficiency to the public, than can be attained by the handing over of a lump sum to colonels, mea sured by their own certificates, and earned by a total of six battalion drills per annum. We have restricted ourselves in these remarks to the actual recommendations of the Commission. But the most important feature of their Report is the absence of any suggestion in answer to the in struction to report whether any measures should be adopted for increasing the efficiency of the Volunteer Force as a means of national defence. We must assume that in the opinion of its es.' officers it is in this respect already at perfection. Its discipline, in the opinion of these Volunteer Colonels, is regarded as perfect, the competency of all its officers unquestionable. Wo gather, indeed, that this is not exactly the senti ment of the military members of the Com mission. Colonel M`bluituo descends into the witness-box, and explains that he considers the bulk of the force efficient, because in a few weeks it could be made so, and because be thinks it im possible that it should ever be called upon without having some weeks' notice. This, however, as we all know, is not Lord PalmEnsrotes idea. His lord ship's solo apprehension is of a sudden and un foreseen attack. In this contingency Colonel M`Muenu's test of efficiency fail& We must hope, therefore, that Government will have regard to its own rather than its inspecting officer's opinion, and will take means to secure for the country the immediate and not the prospective efficiency of its Volunteers and of their commanders. We are informed that a despatch has been received this morning at the Greek Emeassy, rid Corfu, from the Provisional Government at Athens. This despatch is signed by If. Diamantopoulos, Minister of Foreign Affairs. It states that the revolution is accomplished throughout the whole of Greece—that a provisional government has been installed under the Presidency of M. Bulgaria, senator (not Mavrooordato, as has been stated)—and that a National Assembly bad been convoked, with the double object of drawing up a new constitution and of electing a new King...

Tire Report of the Volunteer Commission, which was announced as in readiness before Par liament rose, has just been issued. It comprises, in moderate space, what we may for the present assume to be the concentrated essence of opinions and evidence, extending to two hundred folio pages. But if we turn to the composition of the Commis sion itself, and to the list of the witnesses which it examined, we may, perhaps, divine by a still briefer process the character of the recommenda tions which it has submitted. Consisting of thir teen members, it includes six Colonels and one Major of Volunteers, a Lord-Lieutenant, two Generals in the Army, Colonel M`Meano, and a couple of Privy Councillors. Of the fifty witnesses there was a still larger pro portion representing Volunteer commanding officers. There are but two in the list that seem to be bend fide privates. It is therefore without surprise that we read the limited recommendations made in answer to the direction to "inquire into " the present condition of the Volunteer Force in " Great Britain, and into the probability of its " continuance at its present strength, and to re " port whether any measures should be adopted " for the purpose of increasing its efficiency as " an auxiliary means of national defence." The patriotic intention of the SOVEREIGN has been measured by the narrow prejudices of those to whom she committed its execution, and the deep and important questions propounded by Govern ment are answered in the spirit of clothing colonels. l We are told by these gentlemen that the primary necessity is a grant by Government of 20s. per annum for each "effective" rifleman and 30a. for each artilleryman. The money is to be paid, not to the ordinary managers of the affairs of the corps, but to the commanding officer, to be spent by him, as ho may think fit, on certain specified objects, of which clothing and head-quarters ex penses are the principal. The qualification of " efficiency " is to be the possession of a certificate by the commanding officer and adjutant that the volunteer has attended a certain number of digs per annum, but the requisite number is to be reduced from twenty-four, at which it is fixed at present, to nine, only six of which need be battalion drills. The certificate may, however, be disallowed by the inspecting officer if, on the yearly inspection, any man or body of men is " manifestly inefficient." A further sum is to be given to the commanding officer for travelling ex penses of the corps. If the adjutant is paymaster he is to be responsible for the due application of these sums, but it does not appear to be intended that the commanding officer, if he acts as his own paymaster, or appoints any other than the adju tant, should be in any way responsible. This weighty matter being disposed of, a feeble general representation is made of the importance of fre quently brigading volunteers with regulars, of encouraging cadet corps, and of raising the strength of companies. Finally, we are told that the sys tem of confidential reports by inspecting officers to the Secretary of State, of all cases of " marked " incompetency," is of essential importance, and ought to be strictly maintained. But we find no suggestion made of the advisability of such confi dential reports being in any way made the founda tion of action on the part of the authorities. It cannot be said that such a Report as this will either yield satisfact'on to the country, or be of service to Government in dealing with the ques tion. No government can seriously propoce to tl•e House of Commons the voting of some 200,000!. additional every year to be expended at the mere dis cretion of a body of colonels,with no further security for its being of real advantage to the country than the "confidential communication" of the inspecting officer of any case of gross inefficiency. No as my that was ever enlisted would escape being reduced to a mere rabble if left thus to the uncontrolled management of its regimental officers. Nor will the public confidence be secured iu their behalf to this further extent, by the observation that, in order to secure a large capitation grant, they pro pose to diminish by more than a half the amount o 7 efficiency even now exacted. These are points on which, as soon as it comes to be fairly con sidered, the Report of the Commission will be found to be utter'y indefensible. It may be re marked, indeed, that even in its own body there was, at least, one dissentient. General EVER declines to endorse the recommendation regarding a capitation grant. And a pregnant sentence in the Report itself expresses a fear that the adop tion of the principle may weaken the interest and support accorded to the movement by the public. Nor can it be pretended that the sug gestions made are resorted to as the solo possible means of attaining the end in view. The Govern ment rules already sanction the appointment in every corps of a committee, who are to have the management of all its pecuniary affairs. Why is this legal body, possess ing the confidence of the corps, to be superseded in its legitimate functions by the mili tary commander ? If hitherto those elective com mittees have managed the funds of the regiment to the best advantage, why should the funds added not pass under the same general very easy to see that the colonel expenditure in a direction not con beneficial by the corps, but it is why he should in such a case be if we can in this way ascertain the According to a diplomatic despatch received rid Constantinople, dated 28th October, no event of importance has occurred at Athens since the 24th. bes lo by l G it ' e overn l m aci en v t an r control ?

Prince Metternich, the Austrian ambassador to the French court, had a long interview yesterday with Count de Rech berg, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. lie started the same evening for Pori'. ITALY. A Turin letter of Monday says : At 11 o'clock this morning the King reviewed the corps d'armee of Turin, commanded by General de Soma:. There to,k part in it two divisions of infantry, each composed of four regiments, and a battalion of bersaglieri ; a regiment of foot artillery, and a regiment of gendarmes ; nine home batieries, and a brigade of lancers, in all 15,00'J effective men. The aspect of the troops was magnificent, and the manceuvres well executed, although all the infantry regiments present were those just enrolled. This military fete, at which the entire populace were present, was favoured by superb weather. This day week (November 3), the King will review at Milan the corps command:l by General Durand°, brother of the minister, (HEUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) TURIN, Oct 29.

The following paragraph in the France is im portant : It is stated that the three powers parties to the treaty of 1832, by which the Hellenic kingdom was created, have de cided to make the Greek question a European question, and to call upon all the powers parties to the Treaty of Paris—namely, France, Rinsi:l, England, Austria, Prussia, Turkey, and Italy—to take part in the solution. This sys tem is the more natural, because the Greek question has now become the real Eastern question. Spain, although she did not sign the Treaty of Paris, will be called upon as a great power to take the rank to which she is now entitled. I am not prepariiil to reconcile this announce ment with the principle of non-intervention which, it has been said, would be allowed to prevail in Greece. Probably the paragraph is only a feeler, put forth iu consequence of the Emperor's wish to find some excuse for convoking a congress, of which he has long been talking. It is to be hoped that the Greeks will find means to settle their own affairs before the terms of the congress can be agreed upon. The Patrie gives a positive contradiction to yes terday's telegram which announced that the Toulon fleet was under orders for Greece, and repeats its former ass, , rtion that the Emperor's government does not for the present see any occasion to aug ment the naval force in the Greek waters. 1 think, however, that the Patric must bo wrong. All the other papers confirm the news that Admiral Rigault de Geuouilly is going out directly. The Pays says that the staff and crew of the admiral's vessel, the Bretagne, are being transferred to the Ville de Paris, and that the change will be effected in two days. It adds that the steel-clad frigate Invincible will form part of the expedition, and that prepara tions for the departure of the reinforcements are going on with the utmost activity. The scheme for throwing open the bakers' trade is thrown over. The Emperor allowed the coun cillors of state to suppose that his opinion was favourable to free trade in bread as well as other things, and accordingly most of them madeeloquent speeches against the existing monopoly. But M. Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine, turns out to have been the bakers' Gueronnif!re. Since the first meeting of the Council of State on the subject lie has been closeted with the Emperor, and now the Conetitationnel, humbly hoping it commits no breach of confidence, publishes the first part of M. Haussmann's report as a " most luminous exposi tion," though of course the Censtitutiouncl does not know how the question is going to be decided. The public, however, by this time does know, and there is no doubt that all thoughts of the con templated reform are at an end. The France, approving the decision, speaks of the danger of Paris being starved if government were to cease to be Court. OSBORNE, Oar. 29.

Among the works going forward for the improve ment of the ports of France, the new pier in progress of construction at Havre is one of the most remarkable. En- gineers are now employed in removing the foundations of the tower of Francis 1., and they take advantage of the high tides to spring the mine, then covered with a great volume of water. They profit by the low water to re move the rubbish. A new system has been introduced for the explosion of submarine mines. Engineers so longer make cavities in the rocks to contain the powder ; they merely place • large glass bottle en closed in a basket at the bottom of the sea where they mean to act, and this bottle is filled with gunpowder in proportion to the effect to be produced. The pressure of a column of water of some feet is sufficient to compress the gas so powerfully as to cause great ravages on the soil on which the basket is placed, even were it of the hardest granite. The gunpowder is ignited by electricity by means of two wires, which communicate the fire to the gunpowder in the bottle. On Thursday morning last one of these submarine mines was sprung by the engineers of the roads and bridges, in presence of • multitude of spectators. The charge of gunpowder in the bottle was 301 b. When the explosion took place the water rase and formed an artificial waterspout, which fell on the surface of the water after producing a considerable undulation. The shock resembled an earthquake, and was felt even in the town. The spec tators assembled on the breakwater felt it tremble tinder them em if it had been shaken by • submarine convulsion. The Charivari amuses its readers with a travestie of the sympathy expressed by Pu•ch for the Southern slave-owners. Pu•ch is made to say, by his Paris brother, that we English have • monopoly of the right to create free men, and a commercial interest is the maintao•oea of Southern slavery. EXPLANATION.

A police decree of Berlin forbids the Prussian journals to open public subscriptions wAbout the previous authority of the president of the police. The Popular Ca:Mc having announced that it would receive subscriptions for the families of the soldiers condemned at Grandeur, has been subjected by a simple tribunal of police to a fine. This incident has produced considerable sensation. A letter from Vienna states that the last shoot- iog excursimmi of the court in the neighbourhood of Truen stein and Ebeosie were attended with the following most successful results :—At the former place, in the space of two hours and a half. 10 of the sportsmen killed 56 chamois, 20 of which were brought down by the Emperor himself. At Ebeosie the same party killed 26 chamois, 11 of which were shot by his Majesty. . . . A commuuication from Pesth states that the editor of the Mny! , arorcy, M.

Wodianor, the publisher, to a week's imprisonment and 2,00 florins fine. The journal will cease to appear. " What would not have been thought possible," says the Nerd, "two months ago, is the fact that the Hessian government is now giving the Prussian ministers an example of constitutional conduct. It has appointed as its representative at the Diet M. Schuler, a gentleman well known for hie decidedly liberal opinions." A descendant of Montezuma, the last sovereign of Mexico, now exists at Madrid in the person of M. Antonio Manilla, Count de Montezuma, gentleman of the bed-chamber to Queen Isabella. The uncle of the unfortunate Mr. Dillon, who win killed in the late duel, writes:—" My poor lost nephew was an Englishman, born iu England, and never in his life in America, or in any way connected with that country, or with Ireland either, as some of the papers have wrongly stated. His late father was au English protestant clergy. man, of tae established church, and nearly allied to an Euglisli peer yet living. From his early youth he has almo,t always lived on the Continent, and completed his education (which was of the first order) in Belgium. I may add that I have every hope and confidence in the meuures adopted by the French authorities for bringing the offeue ing parties strictly to account, and that justice will be fully satisfied."

THE HIRKEbiIIEAD RIOTS. — The prisoners James Fining, Bridget Burns.lifary M`Guire, and Bridget M`Donald, charged with being participators in the late riot at Birken head, have been committed for trial at the assizes, the evi dence against them being conclusive. Fining whilst being taken to bridewell threw two books away, but they we-e afterwards recovered. In one of these books was written : " The bolder of this book is authorised to receive subscrip tions towards the Fair Trial Fund. J. F. O'Neil, honorary secretary. Mr. Cottam, collector. District, Liverpool,' and then followed the names of subscribers. At the meet ing of the Birkenhead Commissioners held yesterday, a re commendation was received from the Watch Committee to the effect that a superintendent of military 'experience should be appointed to manage the Birkenhipa Police force. It was resolved, that in the next session of parliament ap plication should be made for powers to levy a rate of Is. 3d. in the pound for watching purposes instead of Is, which is the limit at present, MR. COBDEN AT ROCHDALE. Mr. Cobden, M.P., addressed Ida constituents yesterday evening in • Isrp upper room of the Moss-lans Ironworks—a building recently erected and belonging to Mr. Alderman Tatham. The room, which is capable of holding about 3,0C3 =74 was crowded to excess. The Mayor of the occupied the chair, and on the platform were the Rev. .N. Moleswortb, M.A., Rev. Mr. Arkansan several members of the town council, and the leading in habitants of Rochdale. In opening the proceedings the CHAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. Bright, M.P., stating that business in London would unavoidably prevent his attendance at the meeting, after which Mr. IL Kelaall moved, Mr. Alderman Livesey seconded, and Mr. Jacob Bright supported • resolution in favour of financial and parliamentary reform. and calling on the present ministry to carry out its reform pledges, or retire from office. Mr. COBDEN, on presenting himself to rapport the resolution, was enthusiastically received. He said— Before he referred to the subject matter of the resolu tion, he was desirous of saying a few words on the exist ing distress in the cotton manufacturing districts. A misapprehension appeared to prevail, particularly in the south of England. as to the efforts made by the capitalists of Lancashire, and the capitalists had been accused of not their duty in this crisis. The accusers seemed to for get that this c-rlamity had fallen on the capitalists as well at on the working men, and that if it goes on much longer it will ruin both. After giving details as to the ex tent of the distress in Rochdale, Mr. Cobden showed how the millowners were at present subjected te loss, not only by the depreciation of their machinery, but by the fact that although their mills were not working they were still liable to be rated for the relief of the poor. He would suggest the convening of county meetings by the lord-lientensots as perhaps the best means of serving the end in view. It was said by some that the American war will soon be brought to an end. Now he had travelled twice through the three principal states of America, and he knew most of the men engaged in this dreadful war ; yet be confessed he was totally at a loss to say how this con test was to be brought to a close. But if be was compelled to give a guess on the question, he should not make the guess that Mr. Gladstone and Earl Russell have hazarded. He did not believe it would be ended by (a separation of North and South. What was the Para mount instinct now witnessed among all races of men? Not a desire to separate. What is going on in Italy, Ger many, and Hungary We there see nations wishing to come together. Three-fourths of the white population of America are likewise striving against disunion, and one do minant motive, no doubt, was that they were afraid if their country wss disunited, the foreigner, as in Italy, would step in and interfere, and en deavour to oppress the separate states. We hove been told we ought to recognise the South. This is always coupled with the hopo that the recognition would enable us to get cotton. It will do no such thing. The idea means in fact, more than mere recognition, viz., interference in the contest. But interference would not obtain cotton : it would have very little effect on the combatants. The idea of employing force must be abandoned. The case is utterly unmanageable by force, but if by interference we could get cotton, what price. should we pay for it? He believed it would be cheaper to keep the whole population of the cotton district—aye, if on turtle, champagne, and venison— than to send to America to obtain cotton by force of arms. Six months of war would cost more than would maintain the entire people of theme districts for ten years. What we should do is to endeavour to put an end to the system of warfare which has mused the cotton crisis, by affecting an alteration in international maritime law as affecting neutrals, so as to prevent the possibility of such a state of things in future. Mr. Cobden then referred at eon oiderable length to the subject of the public expenditure of the country and to the naval rivalry between England and France. fie believed we were now spending five millions more annually than we should if we had a tory minister at the head of affairs. If his voice was not lost during the present winter, he would certainly protest spinet the present position of poli tical parties next session. He believed, however, that the true solution of this unsatisfactory state of things was only to be found in a reform of the representation. Mr. Cobden sat down amidst loud and continued cheers, having spoken one hour and fifty minutes. The resolution was carried unanimously, as was also another approving of Mr. Cobden's parliamentary conduct, and congratulating him on his success in the treaty with France. The meeting then terminated. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. MAKSION•HOUSE COMMITTEE. Yesterday the money which was poured into the Mansion-horse towards the relief fund amounted at the close of the day to the munificent sum of 6,6311. 16 included the handsome remittance of 5,0001. subscribed by the citizens of Montreal at a public meeting on the 30th of August, and at which an unanimous resolution was passed , conveying the expression of their deep sympathy with the distress is the cotton manufacturing districts, and recording their admiration of the patient and noble manner in which it was borne by the operative population. They added that they desired to recognise the duty of co-operating with their fellow.subjecte in Great Britain in their e ff orts to mitigate the prevailing destitution. The Lord Mayor has written • reply, on behalf of the Mansion house Committee, and in his own name, expressive of their grateful acknowledgmenui of an act of munificence which has placed in their hands the power of augmenting their grants of money for distribution by the various local committees; adding that he rejoiced in the belief that the people of England would see in that manifestation of sym pathy on the part of their fellow-subjects in Montreal another proof of the strong attachment which binds the colonies to the mother country, and upon which we at home might always reckon in any hour of need. Yesterday Messrs. Fruhling and Goachen also contributed the lens sum of 500/. to the Mansion-horse Belief Fund ; the London and County Bank, 270. ; Mews. James Hir ber and Co.

From day to day largo quantities of cast-off wearing ap parel and blankets, for the distressed people, continue to be sent to the depot of the ammittee at Bridewell Hospital, Bridge.street, Blackfriars, by benevolent people in different parts of the metropolis and in the adjacent towns and vil lages. The bales, boxes, and packages, indeed, come in such numbers that the committee, up to this time, have not been elle in all cases to send &suitable acknowledgment ; but, in the meantime, until this can be dune in a satisfac tory manner, they desire the contributors, one and all, to understand how cordially they (the committee) appieciate , the reedy and generous response which has hems made to , their appeal, and how much they look to other benevolent persons following so praiseworthy an example. The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University has notified, that in a convocation to be holden on a ,Thiusday, November the 6th, at two o'clock. a decree will be pro posed, authorising him to pay the sum of 1,000/. from the university chest towards the relief of the distress in Lanca shire. In the event of convocation acceding to the proposal, the sum will be paid in four separate iustalnienta of 2. - iot. each, at the beginning of the four next months. The money will be paid to the fund superintended by the Chancellor of the University. BRIGHTON AND THE LANCASHIRE DISTRESS.—• We are glad to hear that steps are being taken which will most probably result iu Brighton taking a becoming position in the subscription lists towards the relief of the lamentable distress now existing iu the manufacturing districts. On Monday a preliminary meeting was held at the Town Hall, under the presidency of the Mayor, H. Smithera, Esq., when about one hundred of our moat influential residents attended. We need hardly my that everyone was anxious for steps to be taken, and arrangements were made with I this object ; the chief of which is that tko Mayor has aura -1 mooed a town meeting for Monday evening next.

ARRIVALS PROM DAVIS'M ~STRAITS.—On Monday the screw steamer Lady Seale, Captaio Silvey, arrived at Hull from Davis's Straits with a cargo, minding of 11 whales, expected to realise about 70 tuna of oil. She also brought six sea-horses, two bean, and one unicorn. Cap tain Silvey reports that he met with very severe weather throughout the whole of the season. The baque Truelove, Captain It. Wells, also arrived at Hull on Saturday from Davis's Straits. She bring* • cargo, consisting of two whales, expecting to yield 30 tuns. She reports the Diana screw steamer, of Hull, as having been at the edge of the ice on the 28th of September with four whales, 35 tuns. All these vessels belong to the Hull Whale and Seal Fish iog Compeny. Mr. Griffin, a farmer near Exeter, has lost nearly his whole crop of turnips this season, owing to their having a disease called " fingers and toes." Mr. Parfit, an Exeter botanist, has investigated the matter, and pronounced it to be an organic disease, and not arising from insects. He believes that it is produced by the soil.whieh is the red sand formation around Fseter, not being sufficiently limed, end therefore deficient in one of the nutritive qualities or proper food a the turnip. Twenty-five thousand travellers, with 6,000 waggons, have already passed into California by the Laramie route this year. They were chiefly from llimouri and the north•westera states. MUSIC. THEATRE. Mdlle. Title= appeared last night in the character of Elvin in the Puritani for the first time in London. The announcement of this great performer in a new part excited great interest ; so that every box and stall was disposed of several days ago, the house was filled to overflowing, and great numbers of people found themselves unable to obtain admission. Inconsequence of this, and of the stoma which continues to attend these cheap performances, the series, we understood, is to be prolonged, at lout for a week longer, and one of the evenings of next week is to be de. voted to a repetition of the Paritas i. Much as we expected from the appearance of Mdlle.Titietm in this opera, our anticipations wero greatly exceedel by the reality. We had the same pleasure last night that we had thirty years ago from Grisi's first appearance in this 1 1 meet charming character—a pleasure wo did not expect ever to enjoy again. It has been again and again said that the mantle of the illustrious prima donna whom we have lest has fallen upon the shoulders of Titions as her legitimate successor ; and this was never made more evident than by her performance of • part in which Grisi's most characteristic beauties were most fully displayed. In her person, her countenance, her touching simplicity and tender ness, Titiens is the very beau ideal of the most captivating and interesting of Bellini's heroines. Like all the world, we have often been struck with her power and grandeur as a tragedian, but she throws into this character an amount of softness which we found equally new and dr lightfal. Her picture of Elvira's gentle, uncomplaining sorrow, never, even in despair and distraction, mingled with • harsh or resentful feeling, was exquisitely sweet and pathetic, never for a moment overstepping the modesty of nature. Of all the modern Italian composers Bellini is the most thoroughly and essentially Italian—the composer who has most completely resisted the Teutonic tendencies of the present time ; and hence it is more difficult for • German to sing Bellini's music with perfect purity of style than the music of either Dooisetti or Verdi. It has been remarked by almost every critic that Tigers has been gradually divesting herself of the Teutonic element, and gradually becoming more and more Italian. Her sing. ing last night showed that this progress is now complete. . . NAVAL AND MILITARY. In the rich and mellow sounds of ber voice—in the round and graceful flow of her melodic phrases, there was not a tone or an inflexion in which the most acute perception could detect a transelpiae school. To some of her aim, par. ticolarly the famous polaeca, "Son vergin VOZZOSa t " she gave new effects by the introduction of embell6b. mints brilliantly executed ; but she only did this when a florid style was consistent with the true character and expression of the melody, for Titiens is an artist who never sacrifices sense and meaning to mere vocal display. Giuglini was no less successful in the character of Arturo. ... He acted the youthful cavalier with much grace, spirit, and feeling. His singing, too, was perfect, and iu the whole part he reminded as of the greatest of all tenors, Rubini. The parts of Riccardo and Giorgio were extremely well filled by Signor Radian and Herr Formes, and we need vicarcely add that the opera was received with enthusiastic applause. DRAMA. PRLNCES.S'S.

ANOTHER PHASE OP" ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.' With a view, apparently, to a prosecution of the Rev. Sir. Jowett , the writer of the article "Oa the In• ter,retatiou of the Scriptures" in "Essays and Review'," the opinion of Sir Robert Phillimore has been taken in a case which has been laid before him. The following is the " Opinion :"—" My duty is confined to stating whether, in my opinion, certain passages in the Commentaries by Professor Jewett on St. Paul's Epistles, and certain r..• cages in an essay by the same author in ' Essays sal Rt• views,' entitled, ' On the Interpretation of Scripture,' are or are not so contradictory of, and at variance with, certaio of the 39 Articles and other formularies of the Church of England, as to render the writer of them punishable by ecclesiastical law if he were in a position which subjected him to the law. First, with respect to the doctrines of the Atonement, Satisfaction for Sin, Vicarious suffering of our Saviour. I am of opinion that various passages in the commentary entitled • On Atonement and Satisfaction, are pliduly at variance with, and contradictory of the :hid, 15th, :filth, and 31st of the 39 Articles, and also with TIIiMIS portions of the liturgy upon these subjects. (The lensed civilian quotas at some length the passages coulee-mien— ' The doctrine of the atonement Las often been expßierd in a way at which our moral feelings revolt," &C.> 1 Bad that the writer in these and in ether passages, and asst seems to me, by the whole tenor of his argument, does con• tradict the doctrine contained in the 39 Articles and the liturgy. and sets up another and %%different doctrine io the place of it. Secondly, as to the inspiration of Holy Scripture. In the essay on the Inspiration of Scripture, the passages con tained in pages 342, 343, 345, with respect to this subject are certainly at variance with and eoutnidictory of the doe• i trine of the Church of England, as contained in ber forinu• Lilies. acoording to the recent judgment of the Dean of Arches in the case of the 'Bishop of Sarum v.
