POPULAR EDUCATION. 0; __(Fross Csaett's Register.; We hear a vast boasting about the light : which we pos. sets now.a-days compared with that which was possessed our forefathers ; we see a pleat fuss about what is called unproying the minds of the working people ; but of what use is this new light in the minds of the working people. un less it add to their bodily enjoyment ; ueless it give them better food, better clothing. and, of course, make them more contented, and Ins exposed to crime. The E-at thing neces sary to man is food, next raiment, next lodging. and fuel.- 11 he have all these, in sufficient quantity and good quality, he is seldom led into legal crime, and is much less liable to the commission of moral offences, than if he were steeped in poverty, which is the fruitful.parent of misery and crime, and has always been such in every country in the world. A great deal of deception has been practised upon the working people, under the pretence of giving them education, by which the parties practising it choose always to mean, " learning from booke." Now, if this education-work produced real benefit to the working people, it would be a thing to be praised ; but the fact is, that since this work was begun, the people have regularly be come poorer and poorer, crimes have regularly increased, till it now costs more to punish and transport felurs than the whole of the maintenance of theonor cost seventy years ago. Do I want the working people to be " ignorant r- No ; but when I see that the aultication. as it is impudently called, and that misery and crimes all go on increasing toge ther; when I see that the people have become mare misera ble anti less good in exact proportion, as the educating work has extended, I must regard this work as a despicable :cheat. Besides, what is " ignrranes ?" There is a treat deal of talk about it ; but what what is it ? Is the literary man to call a labourer ignorant, because the latter can neither write nor read, and because he does not know A from II ? Well, then, is not the labourer to call the literary wan ignorant, because he cannot hold n nitwit or make a hurdle, and be cause he does not know ones from barley when they are six inches high ? Is the carpenter to call the shoemalter igno. rant, because he cannot make a chest of drawers; or the shoemaker the carpenter, b cause he cannot make a pair of shoes? The truth is this, that talk about edtication of the people is a piece of insolence arising out of the stupid pride of idlers, whose knowledge consists in books, or the contents of books. Learning means knowledge ; and a *edger that understands hedging perfectly, is learned in his profession. The pride or vanity of literature despises all knowledge but that which belongs to itself; and you shall 4requentiv hear a miserable fribble of a wretch, who could hardly dfientangle his carcass if clasped by a couple of stout brambles and who hardly knows a rough sheep - d og from a sheep, speaking of the " peasantry" as if they were creatures born without brains." •• • This is a specimen of very ingenious ad vocacy, but not of correct ratiocination. The people are not miserable and criminal because they have .been educated ; but because they were not suf ficiently educated long ago, to enable them to un derstand and baffle the manoeuvres of educated people, by whom their interests have been cun ningly and unmercifully compromised. It was not the education of the people which created the oppressive taxes, the high rents, and the large farms, and which caused the extinction of the paper currency, without extinguishing the paper taxes; but it was their want of education and intelligent discrimination which enabled others to make fools and tools of them, and to raise their own incomes while they sunk those of the industrious classes, at once absolutely and comparatively. How can the years, from four or five to ten, or twelve, be better employed than in acquiring arts suited to that age, which arts constitute the essence of civilized life, are the high road to after-knowledge, and place men on a certain footing of cultivated equality ? A school is the break of the human race, and without it men, like wild and unbroke animals, get con firmed in vicious propensities and idle habits, which are not to be subdued at maturity. Will a la bourer, who knows that he has no other means of subsistence, work less because he bad been taught to read and write before he was ten years of age ? So also with a shoemaker or a blacksmith ? For manual labour a man needs only muscles and eyes; but should we on that account despise his senses of hearing, smelling, and tasting, or his powers of speech ? Has nature made any such distinction between inthistry and aristocracy—and why should man make it in regard to the most useful and ne cessary of all attainments ? lime qualification of reading and writing subtracts nothing from mus cular power, while it enables men at least to read newspapers, and learn something of their social duties and political rights, and as much as they please. Can liberty have better security, or a more effectual check be contrived to arrest injus tice and bad government? On the contrary, are not the tools of despots and knaves the most illite rate of the people ; and is not the ignorance of ar mies and mobs the strength of their leaders ? No doubt, however, the recognition of this principle has led to much C ANTING, and to the success of much HYPOCRISY. It has been offered too as an atonement for wrongs and robbery, and more care, which costs nothing, has been ostentatiously taken of souls, than of bodies which demand concession and restitution. Let, however, the people be edu cated, and they will take care of their bodies as well as souls ; for the strength of their ene mies lies in their better knowledge, and the many will prove themselves an overmatch for the few, if by suitable education they are furnished with the weapons of PowErt, or with a compass to direct them in •the high road to KNOWLEDGE. —e A very ingenious apparatus has been constructed by a Mr. Turner, which has fur its object clearing the pulp of all hard and' other objectionable particles, which, it not oxtracted,destroy the beauty and depreciate the value of paper. FROZEN POTATOES.—In the time of frost, the only precaution necessary is, to retain the potatoes in a per fectly dark place for some days after the thaw has com menced. In America, where they are sometimes frozen as hard as stones, they rot if thawed in open day ; but if thawed in darkness they do not rot, and lose very little of their natural odour and properties. THE AMERICAN BLIGIIT.—Wo are sometimes told that by the application of such and such mixtures to the frees affected by this blight, it may be reluctant ; though all such applications upon large trees are out of the question, it may be that some of our ;cadets have young and comeatable trees which have been affected by the blight—if so, they need not despair of a cure if they wil at tend to the following receipt extracted from that delioinful beet "thee Journal of a Naturalist :"—Melt about three ounce" of resin in an earthen pipkin, take it from the Ere, and pour into it three ounces of fish oil; the ingre dients perfectly unite, and when cold, acquire the consist ence of honey. A slight degree of heat will liquify it. and in this state paint over every infected part of your tree, using a common painter's brush. This 1 prefer doing in Spring, as soon as the hoariness appears. The substance soon sufficiently hardens, and forms a varnish, which pre. vents any escape, and stifles the insects. After die tint dressing, should any cottony matter appear round the margin of the vatnish, a second application to these parts will be found to effect a perfect cure. x pox SPAR ROW S.—At a late lecture on ani mal and vegetable life in London, delivered by Dr. J. Mit chell at the London Literary end Scientific Institution, he stated that the London sparrows were often as sooty and black as chimney-sweepers. Their' favourite abode foe building their nests is within the foliag e of the capitals of Co r inthian columns and pilasters. He stated that they also build within the mouth of the lion on,, the top front of Northumberland-house. The benevolence of some, and • the cruelty of others placed pots on the sides of houses for car reception. D r. Johnson marks with his abhorrence .ne man wliti did this. The sparrows; not knowing the 'character of the man with whe l p they had to deal, built heir nests in his pots. It was dSgusting to'hear the fellow ?Tess his delight at' the pioispect of making pies of their young. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. The STAR has for several mouths exhibited such fa plc tun of ithe Domestic Events of the Empire, as never before was attempted. It gratifies unspeakably the natives of districts who reside in London and distant counties, and is a LETTER FROM HOME to every provincial in foreign countries, or in the colonies. It raises also into general importance the exertions of local talents in every public cause. Then as this is a duty performed alone by the STAR, those local patriots would ill deserve their name, if the STAR and its interests were not reciprocally promoted by them in every district. We know it has been so in many plammland the STAR in principles, and in an the best qualities of a paper, has justified preference; but we reasonably expect the same attentions EVERY warts, as the means of at once recompensing our diligence, and adding to the utility of our valuable and exclusive information. We call also on the Provincial Proprietors of Papers, whose local labours we thus illustrate, and invite with earnestness their powerful attentions in promoting those interests of the Paper which they best understand. We notoriously excel all London Papers in priority of Foreign News, and our display of the transactions of the country is equally exclusive and pre eminent. NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE, MAY 29. Yesterday being the celebration ofthe natalffayetwaralC Sovereign, never were there more joyous shinanstratNem played in this ancient and loyal town than were wham's% In honour of King William the Fourth, that patriotic Maw& who now sways the British sceptre, and who, from his fi shed virtues and truly benignant character, is so justly dear to his people. At an early hour in the morning the merry bells sent forth their enlivening music, which was continued at intervals throughout the day ; the gala flag of the caper ration fluttered in the wind, from the lofty turret et the re. tremble Castle; and the numerous vessels in the river were all beautifully decked in honour of the day. Mare o'clock a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the artillery of the ntstk. It being the great market day, the usual cannon/4: feu de joie on the sandhi'', in the presence of the tracy, was dispensed with on account of that locale being necessarily otherwise appropriated. The military, however, (and they presented a very im i z= amp died( from so =ay different portions of " the being present)--had a grand field day on the Town Moor, and went through va rious evolutions with great skill and precision. The whole terminated by *fess de joie in honour of his Majesty. In the evening, (at half-past six,) the Right Worshipful Ar chibald Reed; Mayor of Newcastle, gave an elegant enter tainment at the Mansion-house, to a distinguished party of nearly 100 gentlemen, including the High Sheriff of Nor thumberland (George &lento's Esq.) JobtfHodgson, Esq. M.P. Sir Robert S. Hawks, Aldermen Cramlington, Cook son, Forster, Sonbie,Wright, and Shadforth ; the Recorder, (C. Cookson, Esq.) the Sheriff of Newcastle, (Wm. Smith, Esq.) General Terrot, Captains Alexander bide, and Edw. Pitts, R.N. Major Chichester and the Officers of four com panies of the 60 regiment; Major Mitchell and three other Officers, R. M. Captain Glaseock and Officers of his Ms. jesty's sloop-of-war, Orestes ; the Officers of three troops of the Third Dragoon Guards; the Officers of the Newcastle and Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry; and the Officers of four companies of the l&Regiment of Infantry; the Rev. the Vicar of Newcastle ; the Rev. the Rector of Gateshead ; the Rev. Richard Clayton, M. A. Mr. J. Lamb of Lear. mington Hall, &t. &c. On the removal of the cioth, the Chairman nee and re. quested a special bumper fur the toast of the day, Observing that he would not inflict upon them akin speech, but would simply give—"'the health of his Most Excellent Majesty, King William the Fourth—may he long enjoy the blessings of health and happiness, and live in the hearts of a devoted, affectionate, and loyal people." Drank with four times four, and long continued cheering. The next toast was—" The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family." which was most rapturously received. The Chairman then gave—" Sir James Graham and the Navy," with three times three. Captain Glascock rose, and madel suitable acknowleil! . ments, In the course of which he paid a handsome coin menu to the Mayor for the scene of splendid hospitality t was presented that day in the Mansion-house, on so truly gratifying an occasion—observing, that he felt justly proud while adverting to the service to which he belonged, to reflect, that where he was thus humbly expressing his grate ful sentiments, one of the most illustrious officers of the Bei. dab navy had been reared; one who, for true valour, commanding seamanship, and all the moral virtues, was se cond to none in England's imperishable list of naval heroes. Need he mention the name of Collingwood ? (Great sp. planet.) He would only further briefly remark, that from the North—but more especially from the banks of the Tyne —was produced that fine race of daring and active seamen who ea nobly fought for and upheld the honour of their Country. He trusted they would long continue to flourish. --(Applause.) Captain Glascock concluded by observing, that as he was not accustomed to public speaking, and was besides a very imperfect orator, he felt the more indebted to the Company for the patience with which they had listened to hint. Before he sat down be begged to give the health of the worthy President, the Mayor of Newcastle. His Worship rose, and made his acknowledgments in suitable terms.—On the health of " Lord Hill and the Army," being given, General Tarot rose to return thanks for the toast, which be did in a very neat manner, b egging at the same time to offer the tribute of his very sincretf grateful acknowledgments in testimony of that courteous and kind hospitality which had already been adverted to, and which certainly no member of the Corporation could possibly carry into more complete and fascinating effect than the present most worthy occupant of the Civic Chair.— As it was customary to unite the toast, he would beg to propose the Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle, with three times three. (Drank according ) y.) The Chairman returned thanks for the honour solobligingly conferred upon himself and his brethren of the corporation. The next toast that was given, the Chairman prefaced by observing he was quite sure every one would fill a bumper ; for he had in his eye a gentleman, not more distinguished by those commanding attainments which so warmly engaged the bat affections of mankind, but who, in the high official dignity he now held, bad every man's praise, for the able, strait. forward, and independent manner in which he exercised the prerogatives of his office—he meant the High Sheriff of Northumberland, George Silvertop, Esq. (Great ap plause.) The High Sheriff rose, and in making his ac knowledgments, delivered an eloquent address, which we regret extremely that want of room prevents our doing jus tice to. The honourable gentleman disclaimed, on the score of personal merit, all that very flattering language in' which his kind but too partial friend, the chairmanOradelothed his , sentiments when speaking of him. He must rather believe that no small portion of the encomiastic notice he had been honoured with, had its source in the very honourable office to which, through his Majesty's special grace and favour, he had been some little time back appointed. He could as sure them that it was an incessant aspiration on his part so ,to acquit himself of that delegated authority, that he might havethe cheering reward of public approbation for Iris la bours. (Applause). The High Sheriff concluded by giving as a toast Prosperity to the Town of Newcastle." The worthy chairman rose, and requested a bumper. He said he was about to give " The Members for Newcastle," two honourable, able, and independent men, in whom their constituents pla ce d , and he would say, ju stly placed, every confidence. (Great applause). John Hodgson, Esq. rose and returned thanks in very handsome terms, for the honour so obligingly conferred on his colleague (Sir Matthew Ridley) and himself. The next toast the Chairman observed, was " the health of the Lord Lieutenant," which he had very great pleasure in giving, at he was a nobleman distinguished by the most engaging urbanity of manners, and with a disposition that ever prompted him to acts of beneficence and true Christian charity, to soothe the sufferings of humanity. Drank with great applause, and three times three. On the heslth'of the officers of the 60th Regiment being given, Major Chichester rose turd returned thanks in an excellent and soldier.like ad dress, which rivetted attention, and gave equal pleasure and satisfaction. Numerous other toasts applicable to the day. and having reference to the honourable individuals attached to different branches of " the- Service" in the room were given, and-elicited more or less of that replique which, in all such meetings, is creative of a pleasing though quickly pass ing interest. The amateur-singing in the course of the even ing, which the officers of the 60th Regiment very essentially contributed to. formed an agreeable featdre in the recreations of this very memorable and joyous day. The Ball being defined till Monday evening, the " rosy wine" was kept in brisk circulation tills late boor. We have great pleasure in stating that the difseencesbe. twos; the coal.owners and the pitmen are now nearly or. WeLOf thecollierks on the Tyne and at Blythe, twenty. have speed with their workmen, thirteen of them are now at full work, and the others will be so in a day or two. This still remains twelve who have not finally agreed, but they probably will do so very shortly. Great rejoici etts hek pima at most of the collieries on the completion of their apa~ments, a feeling which la fully participated in by the whole ne ighbourhood. Of the eoAkeia on the Wear, we understand, the Marquis of Londonderry's, Beamish, and Fatfield collieries, are all at full work4as are also part of Lord Durham's. The Hetton Company and their men agreed on Wednesday, which was the most joyous day ever seen at Hetton, and finished with an illumination in the evening ; they were to commence working on Friday. We believe this has been the longest "stick" that ever took place We, having continued for nearly eight weeks ; and it Is also to be observed, that it has been accompanied by less mischief and disturbance than have generally characterised its predecessors. WORCESTER HERALD, MAY 27. At a numerous meeting of gentry, clergy, and freeholders of the county of Worcester, friends of Colonel hygon—John 8. Pakington, Esq. in the chair ; it was resolved anent mously,—Tht we, the undersigned, do testify, in the most public manner, our approbation of the Hon. Col. Lygon's upright and conscientious conduct during tbe 16 years be has represented this county in parliament , and particularly for I the uniform courtesy and attention with which every appli cation relative to the varied Interests of this county has at all times been received by him. And we further beg to .offer to him our cordial thanks, for his recent strenuous exertions to protect his constituents from the impulse of those delusions which are now threatening the established institutions of our country. That in further proof of our high personal esteem for Colonel Lygon, and our approbation of the parliamentary services be has rendered to both the county andeity of Wor cester, a subscription be entered into for presenting to him a piece of plate, and that the two Worcester banks, and all other banks in the county, be hereby requested to receive subscriptions for this purpose. That individual subscrip tions shall not exceed one guinea. ILIDDERMIXITia.—On Friday last, a public dinner took place at the Guildhall, at which our County Mem bers, Mr. Foley end Capt. Spencer, were present. The High Bailiff was in the Chair, and the evening was passed in much harmony. BTQUIIIMIDOZ.OO Saturday lad a public dinner was given at this town to Mr. Foley and Capt. Spencer. Upwards of 60 gentlemen of respectability sat down to an excellent dinner. Mr. James Foster, M. P. was in the Choir; and he was supported by the two Members, and Sir Thomas Winnin g tun, Bart. M. P. W. Woolrycb Whitmore, M.P. Mr. Holyoske, Mr. John Scott, Mr. Joseph Pearson, and other gentlemen from the neighbourhood , and from Bome grove, Dudley, Wolverhampton, and West Bromwich. HAGLEY.—A grand banquet, to celebrate the return of the Hon. T. H. Foley, and the Hon. Captain Spencer ' as members foe this county, was given at Bagley Hall, last Thursday, by Lord and Lady Lytteltan. Fifty ladies and gentlemen of the neighbourhood were invited. The dinner was served op in the gallery. in the most sumptuous man. ncr, and the Host and Hostess displayed their usual affa bility and hospitality. The first toast, " Admiral King William the Fourth," vu drunk with the utmost en thusiasm. _ _ _ MARR/ ED.—William Henry Fryer, Esq. to Helena, youngest daughter of 0. H.

Tun Cutracn.—The following instances of disinterested feeling on the part of the Established Clergy, occurring within this Diocese, have just come to our knowledge. A truly worthy and liberal minded divine, a few months since made a roluntary offer to resign his church preferments, be. lag of the value of 13001. or 16001. per annum ; and another Clergyman, who has been offered by bin diocesan the greater portion thereof, has been upwards of four months hesitating whether he will accept it, notwithstanding his present church preferment is not of more than about half the annual value of that which he has been so offered. Another instance is that of a Clergyman without any Church preferment, at present filling the /Ice of Curate of a very extensive parish, who has been recently offered a living of the annual value of several hundred pounds, which It is understood he intends to decline. A public dinner for the Mends of Reihrm took place at ' the Long Booms, on Thursday last, James Weld, Esq. in the Chair. About 150 persona were present on the occa sion, incloding the new members, A. Atherley, Esq. and J. S. Patinae, Req. Immanent. wo.—On Saturday t, a barn on Southend Farm, Soberton, occupied by Mr. Edward Molden, one of the, overseen of the poor of that parish, was malici ously set on fire, and in a short time totally consumed, together with five loads of wheat, a cow-shed, and other out-buildings ad. joining, and various agricultural effects. The fire was dis covered about one o'clock on Sunday morning, and raged with such fury as to prevent its being subdued. We regret to find that the devastations of Swing are not yet at an end in Sussex. Last week a fire occurred on a farm in the parish of Brede, which there is no reason to doubt was the work of an incendiary. A barn, belonging to a farmer named Bourne, which had just been filled With oats, was destroyed ; and by a second fire, in the neighbour ing parish of Ewhunt, four acres of underwood were entirely destroyed. &HOOKAS DISCOVERY ON iNCIIIDIALIZB.—The per. petrators of a recent fire in Bridport, which destroyed above twenty dwellings, are no doubt discovered by the accidental dropping of a letter by a young man, who, being of the Bridpon band, had been playing at the residence of Sir Wm. Oglander, in celebration of a recent county conquest. The writer of the letter bad gone to London soon after the are • be lived previously with his father (who is not implicated), in one of the houses burned, which was insured ; the purport of the letter was, to request the penon to whom it was ad. dressed, to give him the earliest infotmation, in case any of the accomplices should split. His Grace the Doke of Richmond has very kindly granted to the Guardians of the Poor 40 acres of ground on the Broyle, near Chichester, for the purpose of finding employ .ment for the paupers who are destitute of work. SHOCKING ACCIDIST.--As the Red Rover coach was pining through Heytasbury en Monday se'nnight, the drums of a recruiting party frightened the horses, which started at full speed, and became quite unmanageable. They ewer a fi ne boy, about ten years of age, son of Dlr. J. iheslllield, which caused his immediate death ; a girl was Men Meshed down and received such severe injuries, that her afa In great danger ; and one of the passengose. In codes to escape from the roof of the coach, fell to the , and was considerably bruised. At Ilene the King of the French's reception appears, from the jou rnali of that place, to have been vazinthusias• tic. A temporary ball-room, one hundred and -Ave feet =di, ninety-four feet wide, and fifty feet igh, was In one of the squares, lighted by sixty lustre., which bed been brought expressly from Paris. It was made in the shape of an amphitheatre the seats of which were capable of containing eighteen hundred persons, besides the &neer% for whom a space in front was reserved. Shoals of mullet and gore fish have visited our river the last two or three days, followed by a considerable number of their most inveterate enemies, the porpoises. This town was visited on Tuesday last, by a most tremen dous thunder storm, accompanied by torrents of rain, but, we are happy to ,no very serious accident happened. A stack of chimneys in the house of M. 31addison Esq. Castle-square, was severed by the electric fluid ; and the wife of 31r. holder, the constable, was struck with costal denble force. POOLt, MAT 28.--Thc Burning Cliff at Haworth. near Weymouth, is now becoming en object of particular at tention. Fissures have been, within the last fortnight, opened, discharging vapour at another part, about fire hundred feet , to the westward of the long line of apertures, which have for some time past been in active operation. Very little business watt done in Basingstoke Market this week, it being held on Tuesday, In consequence of the fair being on the regular market day. Wheat was 10s per load cheaper than last week, and may be quoted from 141. to 171. 15s. per load ; Batley, 425. to 445. Beans. 38s. to 413 a. Oats, 20s. Bd. to 335.

David Gibson, one of the policemen who was maltreated by the mob In the late riots, died in the Royal Infirmary on Sunday se'nnight.—Refisslourgh Atonal. KrantEmutm—Trade is at present In a Miry miserable state in this district. The weaving of brown linens (which constitutes the chief employment of the Inhabitants) has seldem beos so greatly reduced. It is with the mamas difficulty that work can be obtained, and, even then, 6s. or 6s. per weer, is all that the poor weaver can calculate upon, after labouring 14 ex 15 hours a.day. • About a fortnight ago, a cat, at No. 62, Mces.street, which used to bring *forth only four or five kittens at a blab, brought forth only one ; end having too great a quantity of nourishment for her solitary offspring, she felt rather at a loss how to get quit of it. Thursday morning she caught an unweaned rat, took it carefully to her lodging place, and corn. pelled it to assist the kitten in relieving her of her superflu ous store. The rat made no objections, and performs its duty with much greater fidelity than some other rats that we could name, and Pussy resists all attempts ott removal or molestation'. !anise Coiw.—The warm and dry weather which we have had of late, has proved highly favourable to this newly introduced plant. Mr. Henderson has planted par cels of it at three different periods, allowing ten days to in tervene between each, and all three parcels are thriving well. Two gentlemen from America, who have had the management of hundreds of acres, declare that they never saw the plant at the same age look more promisingly. He intends to plant some more on the first of June, and will thus have given it a fair trial at the various times of plant ing usually recommended. GLASGOW Bannne.—We observe from the Glasgow that the old and new bridges of Glasgow were let on i e d i lday last, at 30301 this is 5701. more than they let de in 1830, and is double of what they yielded not many pin ago. This increase of revenue enables the trustees to pass en in the introduction of improvements, and we arc happy to find that they are determined not to be remiss in their duties. The speedy rebuilding of the Broomielaw bridge is resolved on. hesubordinadon and starvation are combining their fatal anemia, in rendering the Western parts of Ireland misers. bla. Letters lately received from that country, state that the starving peasantry in the county of Mayo are now, as their last romans, gathering in crowds to the potato gardens, and there grubbing out of the ground the seed potatoes, from the produce of which their existence in the next year was to be derived. They are driven in their hunger to devour this seed : they destroy every prospect of a future crop: and thus, in their frightful extremity, they are sowing the ale. meats of all that can afflict humanity for another, and that not distant season. Kito's Parssiso Orrice.—The late Overseer at the King's Printing Ogles, Mr. M'Arthur, who died about five years ago, held that situation for a period of nearly twenty years. He came to town from his native country (Scotland) with scarcely a shilling in his pocket, and, although the salary was, at first, only 3001. a year, (which, we believe, was during the latter part of his life increased to 5001.) he died possessed of property to the amount of thirty-tour thousand pounds 1 He had the privilege of taking no less than thirty apprentices, which he very naturally availed him self oft and those persons who have any knowledge of Par liamentary printing, are well aware of the great advantages to be derived from such a prolific source.

Gzxzw. ASSZIKHLY, May U.—The ease, which has already excited so much interest, came on for discussion in the Assembly to-day. It came before the Court upon a dissent and complaint by Mr. Wylie of Cariuke, as a meta-. ber of the Synod of Glasgow and Ar, and upon appeals by. Mr: Stork of Roseneath, and Mr. Campbell of Row, agahult a sentence of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, affirming o, sentenoe of the Presbytery of Humberto% whereby a libel, at the Instance of certain parishioners if Row against Mrs Campbell was found relevant. The kierenbly•house was crowded to excess, there being air owe than a. thou. sand persons in it. The Lad High Gsmioslentr's knee and the gallery were filled with bias,. Wilt% heft an early hour in du morning, bad been in attendance for admission. into the Church. The different parties in the ass being then called, Doctte M`Knight read the libel as follows : " Mr. John M'Leod Campbell, Minister of the Goval at Row, you are indicted and accused, this seventh day of September, eighteen hundred and thirty, by the subscrib ers, heads of families, and inhabitants of the said parish, That albeit the doctrine of universal atonement and par don through the death of Christ, as also the doctrine that assurance is of the seance of faith, sod necessary to salvation, are contrary to the Holy Scriptures, and to the Confession of Faith, approves by the General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland, and ratified by law in the year sixteen hundred and ninety ; and were morever condemned by the filth act of the General Assembly held in the year seventeen hundred and twenty. as being directly opposed to the word of Gon, and to the Confession of Faith and Cate chisms of the Church of Scotland : Yet true it is and of ve rity, that you the said Mr. J. M'Leod Campbell, hold awl have repeatedly promulgated and expressed the foressid doe. trines from the pulpit, or rather places from which you deli. vered discourses, as also in conversation, in your addresses to communicants at the celebration of the Lord's Supper, and also in our ministerial visitations of families, within your : In so far as, on various occasions, du. dog course of the last twelve months, you, the soli Mr. John 10 , Leod Campbell, have declared that eon has forgiven the sins of all mankind whether they be lieve it or not : That in consequence of the death of Cuanr, the sins of every individual of the human race are forgiven. That it is sinful and aburd to pray for an interest in CHRIST, below all sesokied have an interest in CHRIST already. And that no mei lea Christian unless he is positively assured et own ealiallep.” Iles spoils themes which follow are set forth under ten Mimi bask In the libel. The charges connected with his eT ESil doctrine of universal atonement, are principally d the two follow/fig counts y. You, the said Mr. John it , Leod Campbell, in a sermon preached by yea at Row, is the eighth day of Jay eighteen hundred aid thirty, in peessoce of the Pra. =of Dumbartes, vol p the day ea which the said ray held a .viebrieu it the poi* it aew, i.ena sem et &well : led the s i z i l i ttspot or at lemt ti e saw aiitilar inalraialisediney, vb.

" Thirdly, You the said Mr. John 9PLeod Campbell, in a Sermon preached by yea in the School-house at Helm. burgh, on one of the days of the math of Octob er do wn hundred and tweety-ainernsed the following expulsions te exs• ions of a shah" import and tendency, giddi ed ‘That it was gross error in the modern preachers of ens: gelical doctrines—to maintain that the reason why e xi , were not happy in the enjoyment of it was, that they wool' not allow themselves to be persuaded that they were w a d. nually in a state of reconciliation;' And ag a i n , s Th at the only cause why a man should at any time be sorrow. ful, was regret or &malefaction at himself, for not believing himself to be in a state of favour with (ion t' And agate, ' That by the death of Came, all mankind were put into a state of pardon, or in that state in which (lon was net imputing their sins to them, and that the continued belief of this fact was all that was necessary to constitute the faith of the gospel.' " Parties being removed, the Assembly confirmed the ten. tense of the Presbytery and Synod, as to the relevancy of the libel; and afterwards proceeded to the consideration of th e proof. Mr. Carlyle, Counsel for Mr. Campbell, addressed the assembly at considerable length. The discussion wee continued till halt:past six o'clock this morning. Two re dons were made, both condemnatory of the new and heretical doctrine taught by the Rey. appellant, but they differed to so far that the one was only for suspension sine die,' whil e that of Dr. Cook went the length of deposition. On the roll being called, the vote stood for the latter motion, 119 to 6. SIXTENCII Or DIPOSITION TUE KODZIAIOII. It is now any painful duty—painful indeed beyond cares. sion, to pronounce the solemn and deliberate judgment of the General Assembly, in the name of the Goo Java Cent; the sole King and Head of this Church, and, by virtue the power and authority committed to ham, I do now is lemnly depose Mr. John M'Leed Cam Minister of ti e Parish of Row, from the office of the hilly ministry, prat. biting and discharging him from exercising the same, or sty part thereof, in all time coming, under the Os of the highe s t censure of the church; and I do hereby &dare the Church and Parish of Row vacant, from enchain the day and du of this sentence. May 25.—The assembly next proseeded to the ease of Mr. M‘Lean, presentee to the parish of Dreghorn, in the presbytery of Irvine. The libel against Mr. 11PLean charged him with having, on four different occasions, taught the heretical doctrine en the peccability of Christ—that the Saviour was only kept from sinning by his hypostatical union, or his union with the Holy Ghost. Mr. objected to the reLvancy of the libel, and denied having uttered the language attributed to him. The Presbytery of Irvine, however, found the first, second, and fourth charges not proven. Upon appeal to th e Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, the sentence was affirmed, a nd a remit made to the General Assembly. From this sentence Mr. M‘Lean again appealed. There was also an appeal from the libellers against that part of the sentence which found the three charges not proven. After Mr. Mure bud been heard in support of the libel, and Mr. Carlyle in defence of the appellant, Mr. Smith of Kilmarnock addressed the Assembly at considerable length in support of the libel. Dr. Forbes, 'after some observations on the case, con. eluded by a motion—That the Assembly affirm the unto* of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, and deprive Mr. If. B. Dl 4 Lan of his licence as a preacher of the Church of Scotland ; Find that be cannot be ra -ave‘ as presentee to the parish of Dreghorn ; and instruct the Presbytery of Irvine to intimate this to the patrons of the parish, that the vacancy may be supplied in due time. Dr. Lee seconded the motion. The Rev. Doctor con. shirred the error now under their consideration as worse than the first. After some remarks by iDr. Cook and the Protium, the motion was unanimously agreed to. [Mark, Reader—We extract the above literally ham much more of such precious stuff.
