TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. January 10, 1947. Stec,—ln the account of the conflict between the Church and the Unitarians, as detailed in your Paper of yesterday, it is not a little amusing to observe the .bstinacy and inconsistency of bah the contending par ties. First of all the bridegroom lays down his „protest aga'nst the marriage ceremony; the Clergyman posi• tively requires of him to withdraw it; the bridegroom refuses point blank, and places himself, no doubt to the great terror of his bride, upon the brink of perpetual celibacy—at least of single blessedness. Then the father of the bride, with uncompromising dignity, calls upon the I. Ecclesiastical Officer" (meaning Clergyman) to perform his duty--(a part of which, doubtless, is to re. ceive the protests of bridegrooms of tender conscience). The Clergyman declares he will not marry the parties till the abhorrent protest shall have been taken out of the Church. The father of the bride and the bride , groom, with a resolute coolness, which must for ever en dear the latter to his spouse, refuse to comply with the demand of the Clergyman ; and, with an air of martyr dom quite refreshing in this age of lax principle, an nounce their determination to remain before the altar till the ceremony shall have been performed. The silence of the affrighted bride, most probably, as on some other occasion, being taken as evidence of her consent. At this juncture of affairs - the " Ecclesiastical Officer" deems it prudent to walk out of the Church. After a short time spent in pleasant suspense, there 'atoms to the happy pair two or three ambassadors from rho vestry, with full powers to treat for a reconciliation; but, as the basis of their negociation, they insist on the ramoval of the obnoxious protest out of the Church. • of these plenipotentiaries, after exhausting the re . ices of his diplomatic art upon the obdurate cabinet Hymen, talks metaphorically about the tides, in sinuating that it would be as easy to turn the tide as to titange the parson from his purpose. The bridegroom, vly fr llow, knows that in the course of time thelide does change; and, as there has been an analogy declared between the parson and the tide, he sagaciously con cludes that a little more time—a little more patience— will cause the parson to ebb from his resolution. While .e awaits this event,a Gentleman very boldly adventures scaly hold of the protest, and, Ending it quite harmless to the touch, hands it over to the timid beadle, rebuking that officer for " allowing such things to be in the Church." The beadle, with his prize, makes his tri umphant exit to the vestry, and then—but mark, not till then, the protest being out of the Church—the tide does turn, the Minister comes forth in full canonicals, and performs the ceremony—only, by way of penance to the refractory pair, contrary to the usual practice, he reads the whole marriage service, as by law prescribed. The childish obstinacy on both sides, and the awk ward way of compromising the matter, by the interven tion of a third party, bearing oat the bone of contention, put one in mind of the Quakers, and their absurd punc tilio about their hats. But if we cannot avoid smiling at the ludicrous aspect of the whole affair, we must not forget, that iu tbis squabble is involved the assertion of an important principle. The Unitarians, in common with other Protestant Dissenters, were, till within a few years, an oppressed set, labouring under many disabilities. Indeed, till the year 1813, when the penalties were abolished, to be an Unitarian was a crime punishable by the Statute Law ; and even yet it would seem, an Unitarian is punishable at the Common Law for the disbelief of the doctrine of theTtinity ; for, it is said, to deny the Trinity, is to deny Christianity. Two years ago, a Bill to enable the members of this sect to marry without violating their religious scruples, passed the House of Commons ; but WAS thrown out in the Lords by a majority of four. The Archbishop of Canterbury • supported the Bill, because he thought it would " do away with the un hallowed equivocation which, under the sanction of the law, now takes place at the altar, and equally relieve ihe Unitarians and the Ministers of the Established Church." The Bishops of Coventry and of Chester used similar arguments in its favour ; these revered Prelates rightly deeming, to use the words of Lord Calthorpe in the same debate, " that the Church could not better promote her true interests, than by conform ing herself to the increasing knowledge and the genius of the age." Except the Lord Chancellor, his echo Lord Redesdale, and the Bishops of Bath and Wells, no Peer spoke against the Bill. In the House of Com mons, only one Member exerted himself against the measure; but, as he stated his suspicion that Unitarians ere Mahometans, it is probable his opposition might silenced, were their creed explained to him. Thus iiAis clear, the general sense of the Legislature is in favour of sparing the consciences of Unitarian -brides end bridegrooms. 'Now, we may be permitted to ask, what did the .conscentious bridegroom, in the case before us, expect by his protest ii* Did he hope to induce the Clergyman Po depart from the 'usual form laid down by law ? The idea is so absurd, that we must acquit him of having entertained it. He knew very well that the Clergyman -dared not depart from the established form ; and know. ing•this, what motive had be impressing his protest in sj ioJecorous a manner ? Did he suppose the interests of his sect would be forwarded by such conduct? or do the sect—for lie is a mere instrument in this affair— luxe to overcome the opposition of the Bishops to their Marriage Bill, by thus bearding the humbler Mi nistels of the Church in the discharge of their duty? Such solemn disturbances of the decorum due to the uecincts of a place of worship, will neither raise the nitarians in the estimation of their opponents, nor strengthen the hands of their advocates in the two Houses of Legislature. Their conduct savours strongly of sectarian arrogance. • Besides, the Unitarians ought to recollect, that other men as well as themselves may be afflicted with tender consciences; and that it is possible a Clergyman of the Establishment may honestly scruple to receive, at the altar of his Church, a protest which impugns the doc trines whereby he hopes for salvation. By their conduct they would deny to one set of men what they claim for themselves; a measure of intolerance not uncommon, but, in the present instance, most imprudent; because they who exercise it are the weaker party, and can only hope to soften down prejudice, and obtain their reason able demands, by respectful and conciliatory behaviour. The present ceremony—which however galling to the tenderconscience, is subn.itted to for the sake of connu• bial felicity—must be endured for a short while longer, till inveterate prejudice shall yield to sense and reason. In the meanwhile, it would be well if bi idegioorns were to abstain from public exhibitions of their zeal in reli• • Sic debate on the Unitarian Marriage Bill, 5d June, 1805. t Hr. Robertson. ;ill not be so mita. amused, •but it is probabie the feelings of the bride will be spared; unless, indeed, as Mr. Robertson suggests, these Unitarian Ladies "be Mahometans, and. like other female followers of the Prophet, constructed without souls, and, of course, untroubled with feelings. Perhaps this show of mar tyrdom is the price at which the holt of the bride is to be purchased. It may be so ; btli it will never pur chase, of assist in purchasing, the Marriage Rill. • roars, fee.' bound to presume him innocent un rl the , contrary was proved. Mr. Ireland never saw Mr. Clarke on the sub ject of these shares. He nevtir speculated on the Bull land Bear account. He was Astonished that the prose cutor could bring forward a criminal charge against a Gentleman. sviihiro evidence ghats Pever to support it.' But there were men in whom selfishness prevailed to, an insane degree, duu.seliest they lost morsey,they *ought they had a right to recover it by any means. The Jury would recollect the excellent chorister given Au. Ireland, arid he bad no doubt would with plea. sure acquit him. Mr. GVIINST addressed tie Jary as Counsel for Mr. Stainsby, whom he described as a most respectable young man, who had been in this banking-house for fourteen years, with the most itreproachalsle character. He would not be surprised if Mr. Clarke should indict any man in that Court, or out of it, if he could get anything by it. There was no evidence whatever, that any of the shares alleged to have been over-issued had come into the hands of Mr. Clarke. The shares on which deposits were paid at the house of Bosanquet were less by one hundred than the number allowed to be issued ; and there was no pretence f)r saying that Mr. Stainsby knew that more than the proper number of shares had been issued. Mr. Hour addressed the Jury for Mr. Mott, and observed, that if the other two defendants should be acquitted, his client could not be convicted, as more than one must be convicted on a charge of conspiracy ; but, independently of that consideration, there was no evidence to bring home the charge to, Mr. Mott, who bad carried on very considerable business as a Ash-. monger, and bad always borne an unsullied name. There was, the Learned Counsel contended, no proof that more than 1,269 shares had been in the market when the prosecutor bought his shares. there was no appearance of fraud in any part of Mr. Mott's conduct. He had sold the shares at- the market price, and the prosecutor might instantly have resold them for more than he had given for them. The LORD JUSTICE, in summing op the evi dence, observed, that unless the Jury were satiSed that at least two of the parties indicted were guilty, they were bound to bring in a general verdict of acquittal. as one individualsould not, in point of law, be convicted of a conspiracy without some accomplice. Accerding to the prospectus, the Company was to consist of onli 2,000 shares. .More than that number had certainly been issued; but the evidence, instead of :hewing that the shares sold to the prosecutor were not part - Of doe original number, proved, beyond all doubt, that they, must have been so. On that count which charged the! defendants with having fabricated the shares in ques- tion, they ought to be acquitted. His Lordship, after going through the evidence, also expressed his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to bring home a guilty knowledge of Mott's designs to Ireland and Stainsby.

CLUES V I This was an indictment charging the defendants with having conspired to defraud the plaintiff, by persuading him to advance .money for certain fictitious forged shares jn the Imperial Plate Glass Company. Mr. DENMAN for the prosecution, stated, that a poor and humble individual, named Bush, had established the Company in question, upon a calculation of manu facturing plate glass equal to that imported from the Continent. This Bush had first applied to Ireland, a looking-glass vendor, and to Mott, a fishmonger, to establish the Company. The capital was to be two hundred thousand pounds, to be raised by two thousand shares, at a hundred pounds each. A man named Walker was appointed Secretary, and in March, 1825, the prospectusses were issued, and in the next month the frauds complained of were committed. Just after the plaintiff had purchased his shales, on agreement that the remainder were not to be resold until they had arrived at a premium of 25 per cent. Mott and Stainsby' were advising a Mr. Goslett to get rid of all his sharer as soon as possible. Soon after this conversation a num ber of Shares were brought into the Market for sale, and the premium fell from nine to one and a half per cent. Ireland then wrote to Messrs. Bosanquet, in Whose house Stainsby was a clerk, authorising them to pass such tenders as might come to them with only thit signature of Mott. In that year, Ireland possessed him self of all the papers of the Company,which subsequently prevented the Directors from proceeding against him. Mr. Walker deposed, that Mott and Ireland were present at a Meeting of the Company, held on the 29th of March, 1825. Mott and Ireland were then appoint managing Director' to carryon the Company. On the 20th of April, a Meeting of the Directors resolved to limit the powers of Mott and Ireland, to sell shares after the 26th of that month. Oo the 3d of August a Coma mittee was appointed to investigate the conduct of M and Ireland, relative to their disposing of shares. A pro. spectus (identified by the witness) directed the mdmtme of shares to be two thousand, at one hundred pod* each, with a 'deposit of two pounds to be paid on eat* share; K also pointed out the great advantages of the Company. The witness here identified Ireland's lett./ of the 21st April, 1825, authorising the bankers to scrip receipts for shares, which were signed solely by Mott; also a letter from Mon, appointing the holder t 4 the right of claiming shares numbered therein. The witness, upon the persuasion of Mott, put his signature to tenders of shares that were signed only by Mot Oath* 20th of April, Mott reported to the Company,' that the number of tenders was complete. Wins's" took possession of the tenders. He received a list shares, made out and signed by Mott, in which. he had put the wituesis name down for 25 shares, but f which the witness did not pay any deposit.'

Clarke deposed, that he purchased 238 shame. be the Imperial Glass Company fora Mr. Mitchell. He Mt previously purchased similar shires for the same person. He saw Stainsby, who represented himself as the owner of many shares in the Company, and that he would not part with them until they arrived at 25 per tern. pre mium. Mott afterwarda offered witness 238 shares for sale, at their market value of 8L per share. He. said, that if Mitchell could not complete his purchase, be , would throw the 238 shares upon the market, andde preciate their value ; but if lie would purchase than), he would get Stainsby to renew his pledge of not bringing any shares for sale into the market. - I afterwards made the purchase of Mott for Mitchell, and paid checks for the amount to Mr. Clarke, Mott's solicitor. The shares' fell, by the end of the month, from 9 to 1 premium. Witness afterwards reproached Stainsby for having parted with his shares, when be alleged, that S or 400 shares belonged to clerks in the Banking-house, and the rest to other people, and he had no controul over them, and was obliged to part with them. Witness, on 'being cross-examined, said, that he was to have a fourth of the 238 shares in question, on his own account. He had bought; as a Broker, about 500 of the shares. He thought it a reproachful thing for men to purchase what they knew could not be delivered, in order to affect the market. He had understood that Staiosby was the bong fide pbssessor of 1,200 shares, lead that he would not part with them until they rose to 125 per cent. premium The witness underwent a long cross-examination, without invalidating his original testimony. Mr. Lewis, clerk of Messrs. Lubbock and Co. deposed, that he pad the check for 1.0001. on the 23d April, 1825. He had known r. Stainsby many years, and had never heard any thing to his . prejudice. ' Another Clerk for the same house deposed, that be had paid the odor check of t,•001; ee the 23d of April. He had always known Stainsby to be a respectable character. The following method of taking the condor is prac r Samuel Brown had gone to Mr. Stainsby about the tised in Peru :—The skin of an ox or horse, freshly shares which he (witness) had purchased of Clarke.— killed, is laid on the ground, under which an Indian His object was to ascertain it they were valid shares, conceals himself; another remains in ambush at a die according to the regulations of the Company.

They had received £250 deposits, the themselves to the cultivation of land; a" they last receipt was on the 25th of April. never turn farmers until they are completely ruined. A clerk of Messrs.
