Let it he supposed. that there is more light and truth, more of the genuine,_ unmixed spirit of the Gospel , in the faith and forms of the reformed church ; by what channel is it to reach the cottages of the vessatotty ? Whence is it to proceed ? Is it f.em the firs house, and the gaily furnished apart. melds, wail the handsome plantations, and the decorated grounds of the most important person age, a.,d the fittest gentleman, and the most fedtionable family in the parish ?

As country gentlemen. they ere generally very valuable person., and mostly su {Trim- to the common overage of that class. As Justices of the Pelee, titer are very useful, but they possess few or none of the linerments of priesthood. It does, indeed. require considerable poser of initial to resist that moulding of the clio rrNcter. that action which is carried oil round about Li, and upon us ; by which, as wax, we receive e itniwesteon of the situation in which ice are placed, and the circumstan ces by which we are surrounded. It has been often asked, whir the Froteetant church makes 110 progress Wt:V it rather loses ground ? %Ye answer, withowt interfering with the respective merits of the two great churches which divide that country. by potutiog to the penal statute-book. which is ever in your way, lee pending to the clergy of yoer reformed church, and with all their good and their estimable gush ties, their peculiar nufitneor. Opportunity to lost upon them, and every change and valley of occurrence comes in vain. •"fbe poor of the Catholic persuasion, if their vriest should love their confidence and sink in the ,scale of mood character too low, in their opinion, to be worthy the ministratton of the Gospel —A eir eumstance which. though very rare, yet has some. tim es occurred—yet do they never turn their eyes towards the Protestant Priest : from him, in no case, do they hope to derive any religious conso. titian. Such an ides,' if suggested to them, would appear monstrous and unnatural. It may be imagined that sectarian prejudice is eufficient Ass sceount for this, for that wide apace which separates the Piotestaut pastor and his Cstlinbc filock,, But we ure persuaded, that though this yrinciple enters somewhat into the account of the matter, yet it enters but for little. The mass of the items are of a quite different character. 'they know but. little of the peasantry of Ireland, wilt &rein their attachment to the Clutch of Rome to be groundM solely upon religious prejuilicev. attachment is compounded of very various in g-ed:ento, end it :'m one tar these that the Priest of l then communion 16 time Only one tory know, who Las upon him the mark. of a clerical character. li e is the only one poseessing these marks, not only in their ryes, bat.str mgt . as it may appear, ltrfpiendy, also, iu the eyes of toe Protest/m a personiry. " T h ere are to be fttund nil ..,?•itic o! the estholic parts of Ireland. numerous scattered fit. Indies of pessents of the Protestant communion. These, though they may be punctual in attendance at church ; tho Ugh they may, uhl their lives long, profess nu abhorrence of Popery, yet in sickness, in the hour of .ileetle when they turn round the litigant eye in search of that consolation which the prejudices, the antipathies, nor the mulish. ties of this world can no longer bestow—they look only to the Priest—the Popish Priest—the Priest .4 that superstition they were its the con. slant habit of reviling. lie is sent fur, and the dying Christians rather than be without all spi ritual aid, submits to romance the religion, which perhaps he yet prefers. He dies a Catholic. This is b}• no mew ; a rare case, it is one of every day ocerrrence ; and we believe we account for it Torreon', iii ettributing it to the absence of every thing clerical in the character of the Protestant Ore .-prom; to his possessing, in the eyes even of his ewe limper fleck, nothing more thou the simple char irteri•iicii of a we lt-bred and perhr lit humane and dioritotile country gentleman. ". 'l'l e Catholic priest is sought for, because he ebout him all the signs of his important voca tion, moil none other. He is seen to be occupied wholly, and devoted exclusively, to the ministra tions of his office ; be has no other pursuit or eta eloyment. Them is more Of sympathy too between the order and coedit:on of the prawint and that of the Catholic priest ; the latter Is used more to the humilities of life, he can hear with more patience, anti miderstaitil with more distinctness, and enter ' into the 'tore of his sins and his sufferings with more tenderness and feeling, than the &ginned gentleman, who is surrontided with so much of the pomp and circumstance of life ; who is lifted up so nstsh cleave the pool peasant, that there is nothing is cinniunn between them ; and whose experience is so rare in initiostrations of this sort, and whose multiplied avocations of another class have impressed upon has character IQ much of another feature and bearing, that, wholever may be his merits in other respects, the spititual seen . intim of poverty will rarely seek relief is bosom. " The Irish Catholic priest brings to his pastoral dirties many great and peculiar advsniages. He Is one of the people, speaking their language. and intimately acquainted with their manners and habits. The laws of the state disclaim hint; he performs his sacred functions in the midst of what. eser reproach and discouragement the institutioes and establishments of the land can pour upon him; and this disclaimer and discouragement seive but to increase his influence with his flock, and to add to the power with which lie wields their affections. He is always found in his limper place, mid is never otherwise engaged. lie is seldom a farmer, never ajustice of the peace, and is not at all en cumbered with the various and laborious official!. ties which the law imposes upon the Protestant clergyman. Having no legal claim upon the pro perty of his flock. 1w is relieved from the disgust, and the cabal, and the litigation, end the estratige ment of the tithe system. Nay, more ; us he de pends for his subsistence chiefly upon the voluntary contributions of his flock, lie has the benefit of that principle of our nature, which calls forth our regard and benevolence so abundantly upon those who are in a state of dependance upon us. He is the minister of a religion revered for its antiquity. and loved fur its coneezion with the history andanisfortures of the country. So armed and prepared, with such a wonderful apparntas of, great and accumulated means, does the Ca tholic Priest go forth to the ministry of the Gospel. " But taken as he is, almost exclusively, froni amon g st the sons of the lower class of burners, he is himself, perhaps, tainted with the vices of the populace, to a near contact with which he was exposed in early life. Or, if lie escape this, he has often to cootegit with the greatest difficul ties.; he hiss to combat the best feelings of his usture, if he be indeed sincerely devoted to the higher duties of his station. He is to shut his bran organist the love of kindred, slid to ap pear • dead even to the obligating. of gratitude. Perhaps the whole course of his eduratioo for the church was a severe infliction, and a heavy burden opal; his family : to place him in this high situa tion they deprived themselves of the comforts of life, and submitted with cheerfulness to the visi tan of a voluntary poverty. But they have done all this with the full confidence of being ample compensated for their sacrifices. No is the day of their triumph., The priest is to lift them into cons, q uetwe, and to poen for them overlfowieg springs of profit. Has influence with the people is to be exerted to procure hut:Mess for those of his connexions who are in trade ; the piety of his flock is to he taxed with fortunes for his sisters; and in the event of his death, his family are to be enriched by Ins accumultviims. If the stream of bounty which is supplied by the tenderness of the people for their pastor Like its natural course, and is per mitted to flow out again upon the needy mid the destitute of his flock. he has a host of angry and clamorous relatives reminding, him of past obli gation.. They can see nothing in ins conduct bat folly and ingratitude, because they hid no other object Ws the strugglcs they made for los advancement, than ter gratify their own mine, and to promote their views of profit. It is hilt too ilaiersl that the priest should fall in with those views. On Monday se`nnighl, while a corporal and two soldiers of the ftFitls regiment, and two men I r the country, worse drinkiirg at Mr. Phillips's Cosign of the Hare and glouncla, ilanolbridge), a quarrel arose, 111111 the parties proceeded to blows After the scuti the soldier', it appears, left the houoie, and returned with muse of their comrades, and, rush ing into the house, again attacked she two nom, aho bail taken refuge in an upper sparinscut, and who wet, severely bruised.

ScIITION OF ANDREW HANDIA AND JOHN BAIRD, FOR HIGH TREASON. SIETTEXIIVI 0. The preparations for the execution of these oafs/desalt men having hems completed the previous night, this 'worm ing the scaffold appeared to the view of the ielhabitanta. (hi each side the scaffold was placed a coffin, at the head of Mho•b was a tub Sliest with saw-dash, destined to receive Ilse brad; to the side of the tuts was affixed a block. The clergymen of the town r the Reverend Doctors Wright and Sewall), tad the Reverend Mr. Bruce, throughout the ennilisemeut of the prisoners, were unremitting in their duties. The morning was spud almost welch, in devoliose and reflections suited to the awful situation of the primmer'. About eleven o'clock a troop of the /eh dragoon guards ar rived from Falkirk, and were assisted by the 13th foot quar tered in the Castle. At one o'clock, the Sheriff's Depute and Substitute of the county of Stirling, accompanied ha the Magistrates, anti preceded by the town and Sheriff offce►s, weut in procession from the Town-House to the Castle, to receive the Prisoner, at the Castle-gale. They were met by the Lientensint-Govenior, General Graham, when the• Sheriff demanded the Prisoner., Birdie ■mid Beard. The gates were thrown open, and a strong party of the 13th re giment, nosier the immediate command of Colonel Sir William Williams, marched out and formed two line., one on each side of the road. A s q uadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards were already drawn lip outside the Castle gsde, and, when the prisoners arrived, formed outside the its (entry, and also in front and rear of the procession. The prisoners, who were deceutly dressed in black clothes, with weepers and crape, attended by the three Miiiisters of the Established Church, now came out of the Castle, and mounted the hurdle with a firm and undaunted mien. They bowed to the crowd all around, and particularly to the Lieut.-Governor and Fort Major. When the procession bcgau to move, the prisoners 'mug the last hymn in a very audible and distinct mauricr, amid rooting...lto do so, except its the influx part of the Castle Wiwi, till they arrived at the prison, is, front of which the scaffold was erected. liar. die looked up and smiled—Baird surveyed the dreadful ap paratus with etruestuess but composure. The decapitator was ~l iced in the herdic with his (ice to the horses anti the hatchet in his hand. The prisusters had their hacks to the lowers, and both, but especially Hardie, limited eagerly and keenly at their veiled compassion, het they did out address him. The processioo, after arriving at the frout of the Prison, halted ; the troops drew up, forming three sides of a square around the scaffold ; the prisoners, wills the Magistrates and Ministers, proceeded to the Court-bowie, where nearly au hour was spent iu devotional exercises. Dr. Wright first read a Psalm, and prayed—Dr. Small gave out part of the blst Psalm, which the prisoners sung with much devotion, Hardie giving out the line and leading the singiug; Dr. Small afterwards prayed—The Rev. Mr. Bruce then gave out the 130th Psalm, which waggon im like manner, Hardio reading the lines and leadiug the singing. The conduct of these min while is. the Court-room was most calm and um.ssuming. Ruth, and particularly Hardie, seemed less affected by their situation than any other penes present; his baud, while he held his book, never trembled. Some refreshment bring offered, 11 el relic took a glass of sherry and Baird a glass of port. Hardie said somelliin, the ex act import of which we could riot collect. He begged the Sheriff to express their gratitude lo General Graham, Major Peddle, must the public authurities, fur their humanity and attention; It, then bowed to the other persons present, sod drank off the whole of the contents of Hire glass. Baird then addressed himself to the Sheriff, and begged to convey seu laments of a ►imilar nature. The post having arrived, the Sheriff notified that no hopes of respite were left, and that it was necessary to proceed with the rentainiug operations. The exectitiouer was called in to pinion the prisoners (their irons had been taken off when they left the Custle. This they submitted to, almost with cheerfulness, ard declaring they were now ready to pro ceed to the scaffold. The scaffold was prepared with all the insignia of death. On each side were placed the coffios with the block for decapitation ; the flour was covered with saw-dart. After a short interval, Baird addressed the crowd i• a very appropriate manner, aud begged them to read and study their Bibles as the word of God, and to read them seriously, and with prayer for the spirit of God to en lighten their darkened understandings; he made no re. ference to the course which brought him and his anfortn nate companion to the situation in which they were now placed. He tkciared himself coufident in salvation through the merits of his Redeemer. Hardie then addressed the audience, but was out so distinctly heard as Baird; lie said, that Irons the time he bad the good for tune to be a l'i.isoner, he bad been led to think of the importauce of his soul, and of the necessity of a Media. tor; that although be considered himself condemned for adherence to justice and truth, yet he relied solely on the merits of his Redeemer. At the words justice and truth, the mob expressed some shunts of appralvation, and there was a munieutaty stir us if the titilitaly bad acted. It seemed rattier the panic for having doue what they could not approve of, for neither the cavalry nor 'artistry made the sit:Thirst motion. The ropes were now affixed to the prisoners aud to the transverse beam, after wind. Mr. Bruce prayed very fervently, and at twenty mi n utes to three o'clock they were hunched into density. They hardly ex hibited any atingle. After banging half an hour, they were cut down, awl placed upon the coffins, with their necks upon a block; the beadsman then came forward; be was a little man; he wore a black crape over his face, a hairy cap, and a black gown. On his app. trance there was a cry of murder. He struck the neck of Hardie thrice before it was severed ; tbeu held it up with both hands, " This is the bead of a trai tor." He severed the bead of Baird at two blows, held it up in the sante manner, and used the same words. The coitus were then removed, and the crowd peaceably dispersed. VIOLENT OUTRAGE. Yesterday afternoon a gross and viokut outrage was com mitted ou 411 r. John Stirling, who is district 1111171011111 fur the northern division of this city. After having visited a pu•ar woman in the Rotten row. lie went intuit house in Kii k street, which was instantly surrounded by LI considerable nunilnT of women, buys, and some grown up men, having in their bands, stones, Ste. who urged the people in the house to turn out the Doctor.
