X. POLITICAL DISQUISITION. PLACES OP WORSHIP. WE believe that no Ipology will be required by our readers, for introducing to them, under this department of our Paper, some reflections on a subject that now occupies no inesswiderableadtateof the public mind. Dur- ing the last and presetting week, this subject has been submitted to tb. Legislature, who are proceeding to the adoption of -such measures as may be expected to pro-. vide for the greatest of all human ends—the moral in struction of the People. There is no position more in disputable than that the happiness of the State is in separable from the prosperity of the Church. Religion evnetitutes the only as/id "basis of national terlfs►e." It wins tills conviction that induced the wisdom of our &aces tars to unite the church and stare, throughout all gene. rations, in an indiseoluble bond; and the same movie, tints has induced their posterity to preserve that bond inviolate to the present time.

Granting these premises, it will naturally be asked, how far the authorised means of the Established Church, are commensurate with the national demands for 'the religious tuition of its disciples ? It is upon this ground, then, that the reverend author of the work entitled e The Basis of National Welfare, con sidered in Reference to the Prosperity of Britain, and the Safety of the Church of England', takes his stand. Considerable good has already been effected by his ex ertions and his writings To him, indeed, we arc in. debted for the Mary-le-Bonne Rectory Bill ; and, in consequence of that sup, for the Bill introduced on Thursday. " to authorise the building of Chapels fur the Performance of Divine Worship, according to the Rites of the Church of England, in Parishes in which the Churches and Chapels are inadequate to the Ac commodation of de Inhabitants who arc desirous of resorting to tbent." Agreeably to the orlers of the Commons House, this last Bill, which creates a new era in the Established Church, will be read a second time this day. But we are satisfied that we cannot do better than submit the sentiments of the Rev. R:ehard Yates to our readers, ne exhibited in the ful sowing extracts from his recent work.

Reg. cap. 22.) explicitly declaring, that " the eiimmons of Great Britain acre zealous to provide " supplies to increase the number of 1:111111:11e4 for the better " instruction of all persons inhabiting, ur who shall inhabit.
