I equitable right ; yet, inasmuch as we see how very dif ferently the matter is judged of and felt by the citizens themselves, it seriously behov.s the real friends of the Church of Lteeland to effect, if possible, n timely adjust ment of the &11l rences of the part a, jetl to reconcile their at present conflicting interestt, lest the continual irritation th t is excited by these unseemly contentions should finally involve the very existence of the Church its elf: for it is fallacious to suppose that the consequences of these bicker ing:: and strires are confined to the metropolis, however Incat may be the causes of t: •:. Religion is a matter of sentiment, and every conscientious man feels himself inte rested in what affects the propriety and decorum of the body to which he helones, and that without reference either to thee or place. %Viten the cantluct of its ministers, therefore, exhibits even a reeving discrepancy from the principles of their comraon profession, the religious man becomes tl;tiguated ; and if, on investigation, he discovers that this discrepancy arises as it were out of a portion of their very system itself, he feels it a treater of duty to withdraw altogether from r. community that embraces and upholds a system thusinlnted and defective. That this is the tendency of such conduct is clearly exemplified, I think, by the very fact of the Christian Church being divided into so many sects ; for though doctrinal opinions have a great influence in promoting these innumerable subdivisions, yet it may be with truth affirmed, that the nosjority of them originate in matters of church government, and other points of minor concernment, wholly distinct from the grand tenets of the Christian faith, tech man endeavouring to fun a system to himself that shall be consistent with the peculiar opinions which either con science or caprice bas led him to espouse. lint it is re markable that amidst the diversity of opinions which pre rail among the various classes of dissenters, there is one in which they all seem to tae agreed—and that is, the unani mous rejection of the male adopt< d by the Church of Eng land for remunerating its Ministers by the very ancient system of tithes. This is a point on which no difference of opinion exists amongst them. Is it, then, I ask, wise', as a matter of policy even, —not to app'-al to a better motive —that the disputes between the London clergy and their parishioners should be suffered to continue, year after year, to agitate and keep alive the most unfriendly feelings be: tween these who ought in a more than ordinary degree to be well ditiposed towards each other, when by a single act' of the Legislature the matter might be at once and for ever set at rest, in a manner that would do ample justice to all parties? For it should be remembered, It is not the sys tein, but the erneunt only, of remuneration, that consti tuter the eery gist of these interminable sources of litiga tion. ALGIERS. The following extract from letter written by an Officer on board the Terror b nob, returued to Portsmouth from 1 Algiers and Gibraltar (whilst under quarantine), corms in correction of several of the circumstances related by a former correapontleut, who wrote on the moment that the affrir at Algiers was conclutld Mornsaaasa, SEPT 7. I lad, by a perusal of your papers since our arrival, that the ad. justment anew differences with tke Der cf Algiers es not rept 'n ei! as being so satisfactory uit really is. Our squadron was assembkd to enforce tau points, namely, an &notary,. to the King of Great Britain fur the insult offered vs the British lag at the Consul's residence ; aml the restitution of the Cuusid of his Ma. jecy, in his full posses. nt,d authority. Huth these coacrodons hare Lee ohtained from the Dry, in the precise, ample, and full terms prep sea to him. A notion appears to have prevailed that our Admiral (Sir Harry Durrard Neale), never intended to enforce a compliance with these ihnimmis by a bombarihnect of Algiers; but this is not the fact. After the Treaty had been signed. it was in. timated to the Admiral that the Alget toe Minister of Marine (who is a nephew ef the Per's) had dropped an ezprassion of apple. heasion that the Dry would object to receive the Vic,-Consul again. because he is a Frenchman, and is considered a partisan of 31e. Illivionald's. Whereupon the Admiral instantly despatched the lion. Captain Spencer on shore, to insist upon this point also; and to inform the Per that if he refused, his instructions were to' take off the Pio-Consul again; and that that act would be contd. deed by the squadron as a signal for the commencement of /Kurihara. Simultaneously with this proceeding was a signal made to the, squadron_-'• to perpare for However, the l)ey said. he did not object to the Vice-Chinsul, but only meant to suggest that': it would be hitter to change him low another person. Mr. Mac. ! donald was a signing patty to the treaty ; which is a full recognition on the part of the Dey, of restitution to his powersand authority that he did rot land to resume his situation ' was a measure of pru dence only, originating with the Admiral. The dignity and eon . sivent firmness of our Admiral, throughout the whole aft:sir, rd cited the highest admiration, and which we should all have felt proett In supporting, had not the negociatiun terminated amicably. I might also mention, as another proof, that there was noftinchiag! on to part, that - the Ilemourable Captain lipeincer was again sent on shore by the Admiral, with the Treaty, to hare it "ruled by the lhy; rho replied. that* this form hod hot been observed in any tenon Treaty—neither in the Exmouth Treaty, nor in thoecof any other power. The Dry chewed these Treaties to Capt. iiencer, but observed, that as he Low understood the Admiral and the British Onvernment would be better satisfied by his affixing his seal to the present Tnaty, he would not object, and he instantly did to. lie then invited the Admiral and any of the Officers to .e NM! 413 shove, sad said hones and guides ahould be appointed to such as may wislito view the country. lie sent off supplies of fresh meat, fruits, Aa to the squadron, and in all other respects shewed the most friendly disposition towards thin country.

Much more may be said on this subject, but es the con sequences likely to result to the prtjutlice not only of the Church of England, but of religion itself, if this unclitis tian-like spirit of contention be permitted to continue, will readily suggest themselves to the reader's mind, I shall for the present leee it, intending, with your permission, to offer, in a future Letter, a few observations on the question as it pres-onts itself in a legal point of view.--I am, &c. A CITIZEN. It is not correct to repmsent that the Admiral's plin of attack left one ship more exposed than another ; fur the fact was, the small vessels were so well supported, that the Revenge, Active, Ruryidus, and Naiad, were (by the course of the line) the nearest to the Algerine gun-boats ; and the Revenge was so near to the bombs, that Captain Arbuthnot was ordered to anchor the Terror las she had advanced far enough in) by being hailed by the Ads miral, f his own The Terro► toucluAl at Lisbon, whereat] was quiet.

MUSICAL 1 ISIL The following account of a musical phenomenon, sup posed to be produced by fish, may not be unacceptable to our readers. It is taken from lieutenant White's Ilistory of a Voyage to the China &a, and occurred to him at a spacious estuary on the Douai river, in Cochin China:— " Our ears were saluted by a variety of sounds resembling the deep bass of an organ, accompanied by the hollow gut tural (lama of the bull frog, the heavy chime of a bell, and the tones which if:mg - imam would give to an estor mous Jews -harp. This combination produced a thrilling i sensation on tit,: nerves. and, as we fancied, a tremulous motion in the vessel. The excitonent of great ettiosity was visible on every face on board, and many were the sage speculations of the sailors on this occasion. Anxious to discover the cause of this gratuitous concert, I went below, where I found the noise, which I soon ascertained pre meth's' from the bottom of the vessel, ineress:d to a full land uninterrupted chorus. The perceptions which occur red tome on this occasion were similar to those produced by the torpedo or electric eel, which I had before felt; but whether these feelings were caused by the concussions of sound, or by actual vibrations in the body of the vessel, I could neither fluff nor since den nnine. In a few mo ments the sounds, which had commenced near the stern of the vessel, became general throughout the whole length of the bottom. Our linguist informed us that ouradmiration was caused by a fish of a flat oval form, like a flounder, which, by a certain conformation of the month, possesses the power of adhesion to other objects in a wonderful de gree, and that they were peculiar to the Seven Mouths (the part of the river where we then were); but whether the noises we heard were produced by any particular construc tion of the sonorific organs, or by spasmodic vibrations of the body, be was ignora: t. Very shortly after leaving the basin, and ciao iog the branch through which our course lay, a sensible diminution was perceived in the number of our fellow-travellers, and before we had proceeded a mile they were no more heard. On the ship's return down the river, the same submarine serenade again saluted the ears of the crew at the saute spot."-7'he Chemist. .e rmi tleman who la nnw Secretary to the onassoner of the lonian Isiands is not Rue 'he French Papers subscribed to a recent Frederick Adam, but Joseph Rudsdell. ialf-pay ' • and previous to his appoint , to the Lord High Cotnenissiontr ' hail personal stafrof Sir Frederick Adam, as ' staff of the lonian Islands. an extract from a letter dated Gibraltar, 'he expedition which was fitted out here :onstitutionaliats against Tarifa, was a tier erise avd yet it served to show the stid certainly exists among all the Spa.

He took us for the servants of a monarchy like that of old France; and forgot that the same liberty which was new in that coun try, and none the better for his deserting it, was, not withstanding its corruptions, a long habit with us. But the French people have, upon the whole, made a great ad vance in physical energy. Tice race is improved. A man lier system of education has been introduced ; fendality is at an end ; the French peasant now values himself, not as the slave of a great King, but as the member of a great nation ; and we may remark, that the most inconsiderate extoller among its of " the good old times" in France (which we used to laugh at so much formerly) has long ceased to say anything about" ragged elbows" arm " wooden shoes." Now the French are not disposed to relax any of their endeavours to render themselves a match for Eng lishmen. L't us smile if we will at their endeavours; but let us smile with reason ; and do, in the mein time, all we can to keep a-head of them. There is a cric ket-ground at Paddington, and a septalid fives-court at St. Martin's-lane. This is the present RMOUIIt Of our establislemente in behalf of health and vigour. The cricket-ground is goal, but a mere nothing to our wants. The fives-court is like art ont-house in a dream, or lianiel's den without the lions. We ought at !cast to have a score of cricket-grounds about the suburbs. There should also be grounds for tennis ; fives-courts a decent number ; and running, wrestling, and all other honest ctiercises ought to be eneouraged, wherever they can. In stead of these, we have muddle-headed card-rooms, and places aptly called Hells, where people learn to be canon: miserable, and pick one another s pockets : to which I they have lately added the accoinplishraent of cutting one anotle.r's throats. Think of the cliff:l-ewe of frequenting these places, or even the mesa virtuous tavern extant, without a proper security against gout and indiastahm, and of coining home fresh and breathing from the racket ground, with a hand as first, as iron, clear temples and body,. and an appetite which can arord to enJoy.itaelf- Sane patriotic persons, Mr. Pennant among them (who was of civic origin, and a good specimen of the British gentleman) have attempted to restore the practice of archery. It is a good attempt ; and all mere:sea, of whatever kind, are better than none. Even billiards arc 'something, because the players move about. But it might be better not to begin with games that look as it' they were got up fot a spectacle, and that would hardly be resorted to with the proper frequency. And yet I know not. Those who have keen sight, and a strong arm, rn!ght reasonably prefer this exercise ; fur If archery is not mule a toy of by its revivers (as one is apt to hnitgine in these times), it is! s.ont WO7k. BY LEICiII ULTNT. (EXTRACTFT FROM " Tire EXAMI,7ER...) What I have to propose to the consideration of the inha bitants of the Metropolis is, the institution cf , :crtain grounds anti enclosures for the purpose of restoring the manly games of their ancestor*. By manly gunies, I mean those that arc properly calkd so, such as golf, tennis, cricket, prim n-base, &c. ; not cock-fighting, nor even box ing ; which latter is an invention of the idle to show their valour by pro-I. The best thing to be said for boxing is, that it cultivaus a s: nine of justice in the streets, anti re , minds the little boys of the necessity of keeping themselves active and vi;!oroun !Laing, llowever, is rather the result ths a the cause of a turn for fair piny, which has long mani fested itself iu the British community. Its advocates have yet to show, that ha tendency to assist a spirit of this tort Is not over-balanced by the excitement it furnishes to safe and cowardly spectators. A regular Nixie% holiday, which draws after it, like a dusty comet, all the blackguards and bullies in the neighbourliiicid, is a meteor of very doubtful import; a very imstionable encouragenn nt to 'public spirit. The &inking and other l•ad habits which generally illus trate the lives of boxers and their abettors, arc no testimo nies to the goodness of this mode of education. The spec tators do not advance their F.:2lth, and the boxers *Fern selvea see trained into an unnatural pitch of rigour, which d 0.% not last, and which only tempts them to shorten their lives by alternate excess' a of regimen and debauchery. Even the race is not carried on like that of cur borate. Butters are not the fathers nor the sons of boxers. If we could all of us attain to the honest fists of Parson Mains and Tom Jones, it would be much better. But how arc we to set about it ? Not by unnatural modes of life. We toast rouse up other elements of health than these. we have recovered something of the Parson's true love of , manliness and simplicity, we shall be able to fight our own battles without the of boxers and brandy-bottles. It is what the boxers et prennt do not do themselves ; nor what their spectators, for the moat part, would venture to Boat all. Cock-fighting is so despicable an amusentent, and so plainly c,3en to all the objcetio.ls a,, , otinst boxing, without having anything t) say for hear, t h at I need not add a . . word on the subject. Cruelty and Cowardice notoriously go together. In cock-fighting they are both at their height. If anybody remains to be convinced, let him look at lio garth's picture of it, and the faces concerned. Would the gambler in that picture, the moat absorbed in the hope of winning, ever forget his own hones as be clots those of the brave animals before him ? I allow that cock-fighting bas been in use among nations of great valour, our own for one ; but it was the barbarous anti not the brave part of the national spirit that maintaieed it, and one that had not yet been led' to think on the subject. There is still a cock-nit somewhere in Westminster. There is alto, what many of our readers will be surprised to hear of, a bear-ganleu, eminently blackguard. But to return to ctir subject. —I say little about the an cients, though they abounded in gyint. - tic example. Ex amples drawn from the Greeks and Ramps, unless ha mmed upon as in a very early and particular manner, have little effect. They are considered rather as things done in books, than by men. I will only make two or three observations : Ist. That neither the Greeks nor 'lo wans were fond of extacise by proxy, the fonner being a nation of wrestlers and dancers, and the second the gladia tors of the world: 4,e1. That the Greeks were much the handsomer and more intellectual people, and with the ex.' ception_ Sparta, were as content with the exercises that kept them healthy and lively in a state of pence, as they were ready to fight bravely when patriotism required it : 3d. That the wits and philosephera of Greece, some of whom were its greatest captains (es. Epaminotidas and Xe nophon) were remarkable fur a tranquil health and longe vity, enures:redly owing to that entity of body as nell as mind, which made a part of the leasiness of their lives.— Piato speaks with e'tonishment of the newly-inveuted terms of et:pones ant', other anyeteries, which some ph clans had brought up in his thee. In the age of Ho tner, our niceties of temperament appear to have been so unknown, that he represents Moaned and Ulysses, after the heat of action, as standing in a draught of wid to cool themselv a.

It is a pity they do not do it oftener, Instead of taking to their carriages. Darnell is kept up too late at night, and in suffocating rooms. Danc ing. on a green is to some purpose. At evening it might oftener be resorted to with great advantage, by almost all persons in -doors, without preparation, and the moment they rise from their work. But no exercise can dispanse with the necessity of exercise in the open air. Ire, and ours, for many generations must suffer for the want of it, wherever it takes place to any great extent. The consti tution's ruined for life, and the feeble progenies that result are innumerable in these sedentary times. And recollect, that plant what principles we may, and take care as we think fit of cur own vtorldly success and that of our off vpring, nature insists that the bodies in which she puts us shall be the medium of every threeption we have ; so that we colour it with darkness or cheerfulness accord ingly.
