(as ilnliOnliad in the STAR of Saturday), between tMrty nod forty Gentkrnea Cadets passed examinations, which reflected great credit en themselves, and on the Institution itself.

As the Loves and Graces reside more particularly in the face, the Roman L.tdies were hardly more atten tive to the face itself than the decorations that sur• r ounded it. They had combs of boa and ivory for the hair, the curls of which they fastened with gold and silver pins. Besides these, they commonly stuck into their hair pins set with pearl, and plaited it with chains and rings of gold, or with purple or white ribbons, shining with jewels and precious stones. They wore mho in their ears rings of gold, loaded with peals u,nd other jewels.

The struggle on the part of James the Second to establish Popery in the Kingdom ; his temporary success over his opponents in the defeat of the Duke of Monmouth's invasion • the sanguinary Westin under Judge Jeffries; and the final triumph of the Pricier or Orange, are undoubtedly admirable ma terials for the pen of a Novelist. DIABASE," on THE Eart.—The Eleventh Anniversary Meeting of the Governors of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the gar was held, lately, at the Inetitutioe, when it appeared that. since the establish/sent of the Charity, la 1816, upwards a 6,6411 patients have been received, 2,620 cured, and 1.980 relieved. Out of this number, 200 persons, &filleted with nervous deafness, who were out of enapiorneot, have been eared or relieved, and thereby rendered capable of following their various avocations. At this Meeting, the Surgem of the !latitudes, Mr. Comm, remarked how little attention had been paid to this important organ, in con sequence of its mechanism being so extremely complicated and little known; bet observed, that it was only by a - knowledge of Its anatomy, joined with daily experience in practice, that its physiology and diseases could be thoroughly understood: hence these consi derations should be a powerful incentive to its study; for, bad me dical men rested satisfied with what was formerly known of the complex mechanism of the heart, the great discovery of the circu lation of the blood would never have taken place, for it is only by persevering investigation that we can arrive at our object; and he assured the Governors, from the liberal encouragement that he had received, nothing should be wanting on his part to extend the knowledge of acoustic surgery. At this Meeting, several deaf and dumb patients were presented, who bad obtained their bear ing and speech; and Mr. Caroms, before leaving the Institution, Mewed several novel and ingenious instruments, which be has lately introduced.

The Spirit and Constitution of titer Church ; in their Jetsam to the generql Welfare 'of tie State. By the Rev. CHARIAS MACKIE, M.A. Rector of Quatley. Hants, and Don:tetteChaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence. 1 vol. Bro. Murray, 1827. • Believing with Vial button th it the best supports of the State are made of the wood of the Cross, and that is purity of doctrine and ritual, the Church of England may challenge a comparison with any of the other Re med Churches of Europe, we rejoice to witness every effort on the part of its Ministers to deepen the founda tions of our common faith by extending the influence and utility of our national Church. When we think of the many illustrious names which adorn the smelt of Episcopacy-of the venerable majestic Hooker—the pious and eloquent Jeremy Taylor—the learned acumen 1 and irreftagable reasoning of Barrow, South, Bull . ' Waterland, and a whole host of other Divines who have distinguished themselves on this " well foeghten field," we feel that it is almost superfluous, at this time rot day, to think of defending institutions which received the unqualified assent and approbation of men so illus. itvious for their learning, talents, and sincerity. We wish not to depreciate the motives 'or labours of the Dissenters, a numerous and powerful body, or to un dervalue the Church of our Northern Brethren, so op posite in form and constitution to our own. Religion, like the sea, is kept pure and healthful by its internal agitations, and we haves vivid and very pleasing recol lection of the simple worship of the Scottish Church, with its accompanying hills, and glens,' and streams, i F I II i I i • I 1 i ,111 It 1 , • i I l. it ji t . 1 i I I 11 1 I ' 1 1 I , V 1 , i t . it\ 1 the ancient abOdesof the Covenanters, When Cameron thunder'd and where Reuwick poor% We do wish, however. that the Church of England may long possess its high and healing influence ; and that her sons may ever retain for her that affectionate at tachment, which is at once an effect and evidence f Christianity. The work before us is conceived in the excellent spirit and temper of mind to which we have here al luded. The Author is evidently deeply in earnest with his subject, and strongly attached to the Church of which he is so worthy a member. Conceiving that there are many, '• who, without being moved from their al legiance to the Church, have yet teceiVed, from the re iterated assertions of those who are atchstonsed to im pugn her merits, an indistinct impression taller disad vantage," he has written to prove that " there is not charge that has been brought against her for which they are required to look for palliation"—and that " she is entitled even to dem ind their admiration, in the points where they had feared that an apology might be due.* The week is divided into twenty-four chapters, and in arrangement, as well as style, is lucid and satisfactory. We ought to mention, however, that some of Mr. Mackie 's arguments appear to be rather subtle and metaphysical. They are at all events too finely traced to be useful to common observers, while some of the merits which he claims exclusively for the Church of England belong to almost every other form of Christian worship. These, however, are but minor points, which do not impair the strength or symmetry of the Rev. Gentleman's labours. He has built his house upon a rock—the rock of Truth, and the superstructure is worthy the foundation. One of the objections most frequently urged against our Church is the unequal payment of it, Cleo gy ; and some of our Readers mai recollect that the late Dr. Watson. Bishop of Landaff, at one period. attempted to carry into effect a plan for equalizing the incomes of the Bishops. The scheme soon fell to the ground, and to such as still entertain sentiments similar to those of the Right Rev. Prelate, we would recommend a careful perusal of the present treatise. " The force and current of example," says Mr. Mackie," COMM from the higher to the lower, not from the lower to the higher ranks. If the former be virtuous in their hithits, and enlightened in their views, although circumstances may for a time combine to deteriorate the character or the modem of the others, in the spirit of imitation, there is a renovating principle, which must straggle successfully with the influence of corruption, until vice and irrcii gloss are finally eradicated from the body of the State. Never, on I the other hand, can the Mascot:, of corrupVicta spread with such malignant, such redetlees power as when it comes down upon the body of society, accelerated by the example of the rich and great. It is therefore of the first and last importance, that these in every State should be morally principled and religiously impressed. But that this end may be effectively Neared, it ought never to be for gotten, that we must still consult the principles which are common to our nature, as to the general plan upon which we must proceed, and for its modified application, that we mum take into our view the peculiar circumstances Odle higher ranks. While we seek to give them the base& of that example whisk we Wend to others, let it still be kept in mind that we mast have the provision of a portion dour Clergy of an amount so large, that the affluent and the great may see the influence of moral principle exhibited on a scale proportioned to the lanponance and the number of their duties. It is indispensably required that in her higher Ministers, religion should appear with that splendour of outward circum stance, with that dignified, if not commanding aspect, which may produce en those who are more Immediately the objects on whom their example and their influence are to take effect, the same predis position to obey her dictates, as In the relative difference of their situation is required to secure for her the favourable attention of those wbe move in an inferior sphere."—pp. 2.35-1140.
