Sta— As the Church Pulpit has, in several instances of late, been made the vehicle of political matter within riv ow n observation, I cannot but view it as 'an en creasing nil, at all times to be deprecated. In the of- 1 termunt of Sunday last I attended divine service at the Church of St. Deorge the Martyr, Sotithu ark. The sermon was by the liev. Dr. Thorpe, from the words of t h e Psalmist, " Teach us so to number our slays, that mty apply our hearts unto wisdom ;" and though] am loppy in adding my humble testimony t o what belit ‘c to be the general feeling of the parish as to the evellence of his discourses, yet I am convinced that the sant- feeling is decidedly opposite to the introduction of topics totally unconnected with religion ; but, Sir, how ever I may lament this practice, my object is not so much on the present occasion to dispute its propriety, as to oss pose a doctrine so fallacious, that it has only its loyalty to recoannend it. I will not charge upon the Doctor's pditieuf exertion, preferment for their object ; although he Irmo feel the delicacy of his situation in this respect, since the reward which Jlinistcrs have, iu the face of an effeeded country, conferred on a Neverend Magistrate of Manchester notoriety—hut I will concede to the Priest the Ate of political inquisitor, in the hope that I may be allowed, through the medium of your excellent Paper, to address a few remarks, by way of comment on the Sermon in question. It began well, and was admirably adapted to the peculiar season of the year. I confess, however, I was not prepared from its tenor to expect any II ing in its conclusion of a political nature, much less to hear a; opinios inculcated, mis-timed, erroneous,, and dargetotts in its tendency,—yet bold and unequivo -4.1!:y deliiered by a Minister of the Gospel, from the l'ulpit,atul with the sacred volume openbefure Itim,which, if I hare not mistaken its spirit, it holds forth a libe rality more extensive, and has more for its object the general dignity of man ; whom Dal created in his own intalre, and for an equal participation in all the privileges of the present life. as well as that of the future. The position laid don n by the Rev. Dr. was this, that the affairs of the State ought to he exclusively left to the Comment, that we (the congregation) constituted of what may he termed " the people," and amongst which were (as is the ease with all such congregations), many persons of considerable intelligence and respectability, and who not only pay heavy taxes, hut who have great in terests at 5 . .11.e, that we ought not to meddle with, inter fere in, '.r piestion the measure of the Administration ; ti-at is to say, the great bulk of the people for whom the laws art• made, should take no cognizance of what is legislated for them, although they are entrusted with the election of those who legislate—that they are to pay their taxes quietly. and not trouble their heads about what becomes of the money ; need I say that this is totally dissonant to every principle of moral right, to the test policy of the Government itself, and to those re ciprocal ties between the Prince and the People whieli can alow , trivestahl!ity to the Throne, and happiness to the Country Shall we be mocked with the appellation of frpc ionic, and he told that we ought not to queatii co u art of Iliulsters, however imbecile—however —or however unjnat that conduct may µ' • ibi.

But for this monstrous doctrine, he has favoured ns with a reason—a cogent Tory reason! vie. forsooth, that we do not understand State matters; that Providence has qualified the rich alone for such a task, and that other and humbler duties are assigned to us. Now really, Mr. Editor. in this I think the Doctor very unfortunate; for it amounts to little more than an outrage upon the good sense of his hearers ; and as it is the only reason he assigned, I think it fair to conclude that it is the only one he could urge: hut, Sir, the ignorance which Dr. Thorpe has NJ kindly attribnted to his h is an exploded phantom—a political bugbear—held out not only by the Doctor, perherz front error, hut by the sapient ['hinderers of the poor man's earnings, the syco- pilaw. of power, and the menials of office; but it will slot de in this enlightened age, in the nineteenth cen tury, when the garb of superstition is tore to rags — when, in the humblest walks of life, the torch of values twin has reared its sacred flame—and when morality has mulched on avith firm and steady steps. In this, I believe. the Doctor and I agree; for, he admitted, that whilst infidelity has been spread in one direction, the sacred truth has spread in another ; whilst blasphe mous puhlieations have been diffused partially, Bibles have been diffused generally—almost universally.— What, then, should hinder the people of all orders from taking part in their own political welfare? when all the experience of the past, and all the pages of history, inform ns that whatever good has been achieved has sever sprung from tyrants who oppress, but from the virtues of the people, who overcome—and what can a free people Net overcome? For Poporli Vox Dei can never be denied. " The Voice of the People is the Voice of tied." TM growth or spread of education has been remarkable is our days ; and whilst we have instructed our poor to read their Bibles. who can blame them for looking at a newspaper, which, like a mirror, reflects their politi cal situation—shoes them " the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure"—shows them deformi ties which ought to be remedied, and raises within them a laudable desire to accomplish it. If this be an evil, then, I will agree with the politi cal misanthropes of the present day, who are so loud in their clamours against it; but till I am convinced of this, the dissemination of knowledge amongst the poorer classes I shall ever consider as essential to the dignity and welfare of a free State. Let us then hear no more of that selfish doctrine wettish would lead to a state of things little better than the feudal system of old, whilst all the transeendant emirs The well known comedy of The Country Girl, which, since the days of Mrs. JORDAN, has seldom been talien from the shelf, was lait night revived at this Theatre.— The part of Peggy was given to Miss KELLY. It is a dangerous undertaking to tread in the footsteps of the celebrated actress who, conspicuous in every character she personated, towered above all her cotemporaries when she appeared in this, and was, indeed, inimitable. Miss KELLY always delights her audience; and if it were possible to divest ourselves of the recollection of the perfect manner in which her predecessor delineated the same character, we should hardly be persuaded that she could be, or had been excelled. It would betray a dti gree of fastidiousness to complain of any part of her performance. Moody was well sustained by Vows...ix I Sparkish, by RUSSELL ; and Lucy, by Mrs. Ottomt.o Though the exclusion of the objectionable scenes, which originally appeared in the play, may occasionally detraet from its humour, yet we think it a convincing and a gratifying proof of the refinement of taste and morals of the present age. that such alterations should be requi site ind meet with approbation.

The step now determined upon would not subject the Renters to any expense, and the interests of the Rond-holders and the New Renters would nut lw at all affected by it. Ile had the pleasure to inform the Meeting, that so far as the season had at present gone, the hopes held out to the Renters before the Theatre opened hail been realized to their fullest extent. The punctuality, attention, and a bility, which marked the conduct of Mr. Elliston, left them nothing to wish for, and he confidently hoped that, at the close of the season, he should have to submit to them a statement equally satisfactory, on the flourishing state of the concern. Mr. Mtvcitzu, sahmittell to the meeting a motion ap proving of the nomination of the fieneralloutuiittee, and of the application now making to Parliament. A Proprietor inquired if the new Renters were to come in before the Bond-holders. Mr. CALCIIAFT replied "Certainly." After a few observations from Mr. Holmes in praise of the present management, the motion Wes agreed to, and the meeting broke up. Last week there was a disturbance among the workmen employed by Mr. Varley, of Stanniugley, Yorkshire, who turned out for an increase of wages. Mr. Varley applied to the Overseer of Morley for hands, and set on a number of persons who had bees employed on the roads. When they arriVed at Stanningky, the inhabitants would not stiffer them to euter the mill, but drove them out of the town, throwing mud and stoats at them ; but we have not heard that they committed any further violence. HORRIBLE I,4III:3IANITY.—A charge of the most atro cious character which we ever heard or read of has been preferred, before the Magistrates, against the Mee ot a ship lately arrived at Liverpool, and who, we are sorry to say, has since absconded. He is acc used of having caused the death of a sick boy, by starvation and other cruel treatment, and of having flogged a black man till be actually died! We can scarcely conceive it possible that two such monstrous crimes should be really proved against one individual, and that individual an English man! We earnestly hope, for the honour of human na ture, that an opportunity will yet be found for fully investigating this foul affair before a Court of Jos tice.--(Livrrpool Corrier.)—The above-mentioned per son (says the Gloucester Journal of the lid instant), whose name is Thomas Came, was apprehended on Fri day night last, by the activity of one of our meritori ous police officers, W.
