I During the whole of the night of the fith of this month we heard the report of cannon at a distance. An explosion at midnight rank the whole city feel a slight shock, which was taken for that of an eatthguake. We afterwards learned the circumstance of a combat, which, faal as it was to the commanders of the Ottoman vessels, neventiciess covered them with glory. A Tunisian polacre and an Egyptian brig leaving Fsllin to loin the ()unman fleet, which had sailed from Mit,ldne, was sur rounded sad attacked in the night hetwcen Carat - uumon and sem, by the fireek flotilla of NO sail. The Tunisian Captain, lifter having hiught with the most heroic courage, and done in. cnJihi damage to the enemy, blew up his ship by ordering the powder to be set on fire. One the crew was fished up by the Freorli corvette. La Victorieuse. Tliough the Egyptian brig remained alone, the Greeks, notwith. standing the enormous disproportion of Inure in their favour, did not attempt to take it, so terrible was the fire which it kept up without intor.i:iasion, but sent two fire-ships, which perished without effeeilog anything, for the Egyptian captain ran his vessel ashore, and hurin it. The ealinonade was heanl by the Ottoman fleet. A Turkish frigate came up tint. The Ilreeks sent four lire ships against it, hot the frigate sunk all the four. Other Turkish weasels came up, and the reeks Red, hating had many men killed, and sufered con siderable damage. _ . _ _ The second ----- after this event the Ottoman Amt, driven by a violent south wind, was cruising off 3litylene. The Greeks were seen near Selo. Last week the Ottoman squadron was at anchor in the hest order before Chesme. It consisted of 74 ship+ of war. Forty-two Greek vessels were seen approaching, and the Ottomans immedi ately nailed; but the Greeks, as usual, lied. Next day the Otto man squadron was cruising 01l Mitylene. Two important events have passed at Napoli di Romania. M. Ilandiera, commanding the A us.;An schoener .lrethusa, entered that port on the night of the 2tl October, to make serious remans s'rances respecting two Ansirian vessels which had been detained by the Ilydriots and condemned under various pretexts. Several of the crew had been scandalously beaten with ropes, to make them declare the place of their destination. M. liambera, with equal dignity and energy, hothead on their restoration, and indemnity which he hail a right to claim, but the Members of the Governmetit sought to elude his demands. The same day, lictober 3d, the English frigate, the Sybil, commanded by Com modore nacelle! (query Pecan-11), arrived at Napoli. • l'hat office summoned the Oreek Government to give hint satisfaction in twelve hours. At the expiration of this time (half-past nine In the evens Mg), seven English boats, titled with armed men, went to board the three schooners of the Week Government. The crews awoke in tar.• r, and escaped by swimming to the battery on shore, where a great tumult was heard, and a cry to fire, but only three muskets loaded with hall were fired. At day-break the frigate was preparing to sail, with the three seitonners and a brig, sent by the Philhellene*, which had on board 314,4)00 talmis. and which, instead of delivering that sum to the lireeks. had immediately placed itself under the protection of the English Commodore. 'The latter then saw several Members of the .•••enate come it a long-boat, as supplicants; but he told them that he was only beginning to act, that he was going innueiliately to join his squadron o(Y (ape Colottna, then to proceed against the (heck fleet. The Deputies of the Senate conjured hint to suspend the execution of his threats, and not to attack the fleet, with out which Greece would be ruined. The Commander pro ' mised to defer the execution of the orders of the English Admiralty on the three following condi:kyle 1. To annul every decree of blockade whatever, and especially that of the latter end of May. 2. To pay immediately the sum of 200,000 Turkish piastres, as an indemnity for the damage done to the vessel taken in the Isle of Ithaca, in the month of March. 3. A removal satisfaction of the chiefs of the Greek expedition, which violated the neutrality of the territory, by attacking in the said island the weasel in question.

FA I T Mrs. Fauntleroy, having learned that her husband was determiritd to shut himself up from all further communi cation with his rt h ;tior.s and friends after Saturday, sent to him on Friday night a message by her son, telling lihn that she would be with him, if God would give her strength, next morninr. He prepart el for the fleeting, which he had hoped lie could have avoided, and at eleven o'clock she arrived at Newgate, in a hackney-coach, ac companied by her son. Upon going inside the first door of the prison there was necessarily some delay, the turnkey being obliged to communicate to Mr. IVontner the appli cation of any person to visit a prisoner. Mrs. Fountferny concluded that she was to be refused, and wildly said," Oh, fur God's inke, will you keep me from him?" One of the principal officers of the prison went to her, told her that she certsiiily should be admitted, and begged her to be calm. She promised to be quite calm ; but it was appre hended from the wolul condition in which her health and reentry; appeared to be, that the unfortunate man would have to undergo a scene of affliction exceeding any which ha had vet endured. The officer went up to inform Mr. Fauntleroy that she was in the prison. " Yes," said lie, " I expected h. r. (hod help her; bring her to me." The officer then conducted, or rather carried, Mrs. Fauntleroy into the apartment of her husband. She dropped into his arms, and was unable to utter a word for some time. The two turnkeys who attend the prisoner retired to the farthest corner of the room. The scene was one, which, even those amongst whose erilinary avocations was that of witnessing the eternal parting of wives from husbands, and fathers from children, were deeply air eted at. The officer who led her to the presence of her husband went over to her, and again entreated that she would be calm, and say nothing calculated to draw away her husband's mind from his religious contemplations. She seemed to derive strength from this lino of the necessity of checking her feelings, and she talked to him for a considerable time without in terroptimi from subs and tears. Their principal conversa tion had reference to their son. who, the unfortunate father hoped and believed. would be brought tip with the tear of ',led coos;antly before hid eyes, and the terror of h.:: parent's fate ever present to his imagination. The ph occasionally srtle a few words of consolation to both, assuring them of the love he had for them, and his deter mination to live free from reproach. At theexpiration of a full hour spent in this manner. the alio r entered, and taking Mrs. Fauntleroy by the hand, quietly led her away front her husband, without waiting Ihr the ceremony of farewell, aotl betUre she tlnuOit the was from his side, the door was closed tie. ever ht•tw. en them. For this sodden separation which the colletr h..tl contrived to accomplish with such hrtneuie ingenuity, Mrs. Faiedleroy was not p-epared. She screwed, and suppiieatel to he re-adatitted ; but wizen the o!iieer told her that her poor Int:hind would not be able to Lear it, she acquit se.ttl, and eft, t having Inwii relieved by a profuse flood of te.tr , , returned with her stet, and the !ley.

The prisoner continues to evince as resigned a state of mind cs his most anxious friends ccald wish, and says he is now only desirous that his scene in this world should chose. Ile avoids interviews with those who call to see him, whenever he can do 60 with any propriety to the feelings of the parties themst•litta and his own. While these scenes were passing, the Italian teacher of languages, Aug..Rini. who on Friday applied to the Lord Mayor for permission to die for Mr. Fauntlerny, knocked at the door of Newizate, and intrcduct d himself to the Ordinary, who was just going to administer the Sacra meta. Ile said he had come to tale the place of the con vict, as he was very anxious that that person's life should he saved, in consideration of his wife and family. The Ordinary r. monstrated with him upon the absurdity of the application ; but finding that the more objections were made, the more noisy the Italian became he desired one of the officers to talk to him upon the sub ject. Angellinl, after seme expressions of regret at not being allowed to die on the scaffold, suddenly quitted the prison into which be had gained admission upon the strength of the Lord Mayor's name. Situnlzyq morning Mr. F. expressed greatconcern athaving to attend the Chapel on Sunday, according to the usual cus tom, to beer the Sermon to the condemned. He shrunk from being again exposed to the public gaze ; be said he was fully alive to the consolations to be derived from atten tion to religini;3 duties ; indeed, the promises of the &rip turn alone sustained him now ; but he declared that the thought of having to appear in the Chapel, where there would be so many eyes fixed on him, quite unfitted his initial for such solemn proceedings. He ma& it a request to the Sheriffs, that if it were not inconsistent with their duties, they would dispense with his attendance in th e Chapel on Sunday morning. To be relieved from such • duty would free him from many pangs. He wu in formed, in answer, that such attendance could not be dis pensed with ; that it was a part of the proceedings which the Sheriffs felt theinszlves hound to see performed ; but that every further attention should be paid to the com munication, with the view of affording all possible relief to the prisoner's mind. . . _ li has been already stated, that the ft rna'e (she seems to be scarcely twenty years old) who lived with Mr. Fauntle rev, had been induced to abstain from continuing to visit him in New:rate, in consequence of his having, by the ad vice of his friends, written to her, pointing out the inex pediency of her coming, since his repeated interviews with Mrs. Fattntleroy. She has, thctefore, seen him once only during the last three weeks: it was naturally expected that he should be anxious, before he left the world, to bid a long adieu to her and his children, and Saturday was ap. pointed for carrying into effect this painful purpose. About eleven o'clock Mrs. Forbes arrived at Newpte, dressed in the deepest mourning, bringing with her two lovely hahes, both girls, of the ages of lti months apd three months, both of them also in mourning. Passing through the long and dreary passages of the prison, she entered the apartment where Mr. Fauntleroy is confined, who, on see ing her, appeared afflicted with the deepest anguish. lie embraced her and his children with most affectionate ar dour: his feelings were evidently wrought up to the high est pitch of intense agony. After remaining with him about an hour, the distressing moment of separation arrived, which it is impossible to de scribe. After Mrs. Forbes had quitesl him, as she supposed for ever, and had reached an adjoining room, Mr.F.eame out firee diffo rent times again to bid her farewell ; and at last, addressing her in a most solemn and impassioned manner, said, " Maria, you mast mpg* that the eiremationeor iri which jneite praiied will afpale you to the observation , and scoffs of the world—regard them not ; but place your confidence in Almighty God : and I charge you to bring up these clear children in his fear. Recollect that these are the words of a dying man. Oh ! do not neglect them." He then sunk on a seat which was near, evidently overpowered by the even anglesh. Mrs: Fseberfe l teren 1 vtotent hysterical paroxysm, in which she continued a long time. (From the Weekly hispaidr.) At length tl:e fate of this unfortunate gentlemen la de termined. On Tuesday neat he is doomed to suffer the extreme pnnishment of the law—a premature and ignomi nious dea' ! Callous and unfeeling indeed must be that heart, which is unmoved by sympathy and compassion at his unhappy destiny. At the age of IS, a time when other youths are playing their gambols at school, he was intro duced to the drudgery of a clerk in a banking establish ment, and it is evident he must have devoted great seal and attention to the duties of his station ; because, on the death of his father, when he was only 21, he was permitted to succeed him as a partner in the firm. liis, however, appears to have been no enviable situation : the capital of the concern was small ; heavy loon brought on embarrass ments ; bankruptcy stared him in the face ; and he ven tured on the only expedient that presented itself of averting the ruin of the establishmeni--by obtaining, through the medium of forgery, those resources which could alone sup port the credit of the house, and prevent its failure. The unhappy man says, that when he first deviated from rec titude, he merely intended to obtain temporary assistance, and never for a moment contemplated fraud and no one who dispassionately reviews his conduct, can doubt the sincerity of this declaration. One disastee, however, fol lowed another in qui c k success i on ; t h e same means f re lief were resorted to on each occasion, and the forgeries at last accumulated to such an enormous extent that no thing less than a miracle could relieve him. Every year increased the burdens and the difficulties ; sums which had been sold out when the funds were extremely low, were occasionally obliged to be repurchased when the price of stock was enhanced ; anti as the dividends became pay able, he was under the necessity of providing money to place to the credit of those individuals whose stock fish been surreptitiously disposed of. Some opinion trey be formed of the extent of the sums obtaiued from the Bank, when it is known that latterly the amount required every quarter to supply the place of dividentla, amounted to up wards of .$,000(. Not only haul Mr. Fanutleroy to manage the regular concerns of the house, but he bad to keep correct accounts of all the sums drawn under the forged letters of attorney, and every quarter to place to the cus tomer the exact amount to which he would have bear en titled if the stock hail remained untouched. Busides this, when any death, marriage,. ibe. other occurrence took place, which welt likely to occasion a reference to the Banks, in those cases where the stock had been with drawn, Mr. Faunticroy was under the necessity of imme diately replacing it, to prevent a discovery taking place. What, therefore, must have been this unhappy gentle man's feeiings during the list sixteen years of his lire, know ing, as he must, that the. Sword of Justice was suspended over his head, as it were, by a single hair! His own words, when brought up to receive judgment, forcibly illustrate the torture he had ctidured. After pathetically describing the muse of his misfortunes, anti supplicating, for the sake of his relations, that he might not unifier an i..;tiontiniotte death, he says, " Por me, my Lord, fallen and deg,raileil es I am, life has no allurements, and a mo mentary pang will at once put an end to my mental agon i es , and my earthly existence ;• and he then went on to state-- " If crime can be *weed for by solfering. my offences. heavy es they are, have long since been expiated, not only by the overwhelming embarrassment; of the concern in which I was engaged, but by years of anxious terror, and agonizing apprehetvion ; arid it, my Lord, the anguish of teind I have endured fur the la.d sixteen years of my life, and the p:enlr.r circurnstanevs it: w Inch I have been plec.vd ever since I arrived at man's estate, eolith he matte known to my Most Gracioua Sovereipi," &e. This appeal, however, and all the a xertions made on he halt' of the distressyd individual. have proved tunivai:;ng,. The law has seized its victim with its unreleneng, iron gra p; stern justice predominates, and the unfortunate 4 ;ctitleinan has only to hope for mercy " in another and a better wield." CONOEM NED SERMON. I.eng hefore usual hoar, the public entrance to the prison of the (Yd ßailey was crowded by those who felt us to wit:m*l the Ise public &retinal office per- I formed by this unfortunate gentleman. The tickets issued for admission were, we believe, mere numerous than the chapel could conveniently hold, but horn the precautions and measures taken by the officers of the establisittsent neither accident not confusion of the s;iglite-st de. , ;ree fol lowed. It was generally rumoured dire:writ tire prison, we believe generally credited, that the unfortunate gently , man had signified his intention ot nut appearing in public: the tilicrM:t had, it was said, received this intimation, arid did not think themselves justified in taking measures to comps] his presence. Various reasons were assigned for this conduct of the condemned. Some said that be wished to he spared this public act of devotion, which ,mist appear to him, in some shape or other, as a public exhibition. This, for obvious recsors he , was moat anxious to aveid, and he natorally wished to reserve his strength and fortitude for the closing scene; it w also more than insinuated that it was communicate,. oi the prisoner, that the sermon to he preached by the oi,:inary was intended to he more than usually caustic and severe ; that the Rev. Gentleman, in the wholesome di. , charge of his sacred functions, propos-el to apply the pungent remedy of invective; and, no doubt fOr the purpose. of stimulatins to repentance, to probe to the quick the torten' , cl feelings of the unfortunate man. Whether there opinions were well or ill founded, we cannot take upon us to decide, but to the last moment the visi!ors of the chapel were in a state of doubt as to the appearance of the principal actor in the melancholy scene. The toiling of the prison bell at length announced the time of prayer, and immediately after a rush was made into the Chap , t by the various descriptions of prisoners. who occupied the prescribed stations, according to their situations with regard to the outraged laws of theer country. Those who were reported and respited,occupled a large scat at one side ; and those who are yet for trial were placed opposite. We noticed Carlisle's coadjutors in a large pew, reserved, we believe, for the more decent order of prisoners. Harris, whose case, though reported to the King in Council, has not yet been decided, made his appeal ance, and took his seat in the condemned pew,upon the seat res.:tweet for convicts in his situation. At this moment all uncertainty respecting the presenceof the unfort una te victim of his guilt was terminated. A group of six gentlemen entered the chapel, in the midst of whom Was Mr. Fauntleroy ; all eyes were fixed upon him, placed in the most calamitous situation that tongue can tell or imagination can suggest ; against whom all earthly hopes are closed for ever ; whose days are num bered by the voice of his fellow-wen. Ile advanced with a rapid, though firm amp, and occupied the seat reserved for those who are doomed to expiate their guilt with their lives. Amongst the gentlemen who attended him during this trial we recognised the Reverend Mr. Springctt, the Reverend Mr. Baker, and Mr. Forbes. One of these gentlemen sat at rich side, the other in front of their unfortunate friend, and by this kind and pub cions precaution they protected hint from the glance of idle and unfeeling curiosity. From the view we were enabled to take of him, dejection and despair teetotal to have full possession of his countenance. lie appeared almost insen sible to the yawing scene, and never ter a moment raised his eves from the book of prayer, which lie held in his hand. Upon the Ordinary commencing the service, the condemned appeared to us to become more collected, and joined in the responses with fervour, and in a tone of voice almost audible in the gallery. After the usual church service was performed, the Rev. Gentleman called upon the con gregation for their prayers in behalf of the unfortunate man, who was waiting the awful execution of the law. In this supplication, the afflicted individual and the entire as semblage appeared to joint with the ma atest fervency and devotion. After this, the preacher ascended the pulpit, and gave out the text front the lOth chapter, 12th verse, of the Ist Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, " Let him who thinketh that he stand take heed lest he fall." Upon this text he preached, and said the history of society showed to them all, that °Mauls of a roost serious and important nature had been repeatedly brought to light, of such peculiar extent anti :darning magnitude as to call down the severest chastitennent of the law. The transac tion which had been lately discovered, and for which it was deemed requisite to make the individual before them a melancholy example, was known to them all. A solemn inquiry and judicial investigation were had, a trial had taken place, a careful jury had returned their unarthrinus verdict, and the local consequences were now to take their dreadful effect. There was never, perhaps, an occasion upon which the preaelier had to ascend the pulpit under the Influence of more various and embarrassing feelings. 1 Upon other occasions naughty men, the sons of crime, had been, for murder and robbery, standing before him for condign punishment; but the deep interest felt by the public upon this occasion required that lie should notice it with the gravest attentions. The persons found guilty of enormous crimes were generally of die lowest order; but here is a person who moved in the rank of a gentleman, and whose diameter until lately stood so high, that men of the highest rank in the country came forward, with tears in their eyes, to testify the kind, amia ble, and highly correct way in which he demeaned himself through the course of his life. iVhen this is recollected, the mind becomes paralytic'', the tongue refuses to fulfil its office, and it was to lie wished that it were allowed to Christian charity to throw a veil over the case., through pity for the offender ; but we should take entre, lest in to doing we did not act in a manner unsuitable to the magni tude and nature of the offence, and neglect those duties, for the performance of which they were that day called toge ther. 'fine spectacle before them was shocking to humanity, and revolting to their feelings, but it nevertheless afforded testimony of the impartial exercise of the laws. A mis taken clamour, the effect of kindness and compassion, was raised: many individuals besieged Government on behalf of the unhappy man; it retrained uninfluenced and steady; it neither went to the right nor to the left ; it kept the even tenor of its way, showing that in the administration of juatiee it did not regard the persons of men—it executed the wrath of God against evil doers, and did not bear the sword in vain. Though we may lament the stern decree, we must admire the firmness aria nerve of the Government, which gave an example to the country that none were too high to escape punishment, and none too low to share its attention and meet its mercy. Out of the thirteen persons who were capitally convicted there was but one on whom it was determined the law should take its course ; and those who were shielded from puniahment by Royal mercy were from the lowest order of the people, the abj.ct and the mean. In making these observations, tine preacher did not mean to undervalue the voice of the public—lie did not mean to set at nought the sympathies of the people, which ever cor responded with the best feelings of our nature. Tine opi nion of the people of England was entitled to the highest re spect—they were generally right when th e y pronounced their opinions calmly, and were not artfully excited ; hut it was to be recollected, that the public voice was trot in the present case unanimous ; a few only expressed their wishes ; the great majority acting with prudence, and accord ing to their duty, left the entire matter in the hands of the law, relying confidently on the well known mercy of the Crown, in cases where life and death were the questions at issue. But, as upon the one part, feelings cf a nature too favourable were attempted to be excited, so there were others too eager to press nisei a fallen brother, as if they were exempt from that to , •liielt he was liable, as if it was impmeaible for them to fall if they were placed iti similar circumstances. These had not scrupled, with their unfounded statements and unthinking assertions, to aggravate the severity of his sorrows, acid sharpen the bitterness of death. It was for the purpo, , e of noticing such conduct, the ptvaelter had chosen the text of the day, as conveying a lesson salutary and just, and nes or out of season. The Apostle Paul 0 cites the crimes of the Jews and th...ir punishment : he gives adinon;tiots to the Gentiles that they may serve as examples both for them and us. in the Collect rf this try lie c e n s u res an d con amnia the Jews for the habit of jindoing others, and de sires them to seardi iierrowly ism their °Au !mitts.— lle tells them. •"fhent art Meseosable, Oh, nand! who jitelsest and condeninest others, and dent the same things thyself." In this precept the: Apostle Paul had two oijr;:b in view ; last, that we should know ours, ivies, and seeoeidly, that we should be cautious how we passed severe and jtielgteemts upon others. We are told by a elbtingentsh , 4 and eloquent prelate of our own church, that he was 30- ga:init.(' with an emblem author who nicror saw a crinno.al drays:, ti to execution tbat lie did not inquire, ir; man n: more bisoable thee' I r This ass a e action we tirolea repeatedly tick on::lver, when we saw a D111:1:*1 . Ca i to punishment. The pnnisliments inflicted on others sitmehl be humeri to our own advantage. They sbooll• t. eel) its to repent our treusgressioos, and make as inquire if we line not committed crimes which cheerio the red, ten! escape is came they are net known. Ines we see a sinus cnnvieted and exposed, we congratulate onowlves, stud, in the words of the Pharisee, " give God thanks that we are tint like this men." Harr net you committed acts highly deserving of peadeis ment % Core ult 'lntro lf, and answer if you cal, tee yew fun- that, if you were placed in the same circumstances, you world not fall like him ? This may sot *loot who . wit% your pr. server?—feud. ! Give glory, then, ea doe lice! who sayal you in the day of your trial : you may fiat ter •ottrs:ll , .it that your sins are not known to the world, but they are known to Goil : he looks down from heaven upon ail those on earth : your hearts are open to hint—all your deeires are known to him: he is acquainted with your uprisines and downsittings : he is about your paths PrY4l near your buds : he spies all your ways : 6;IN or ban: eamea secure von from him : darkness cannot hide you : there is no darkness for him, fright is to him as day : thee act, of our lives are registered before bim : everything is notic.:l ley him, whatever we say—whatever we' do. Wli. et, therefore, we consider that God knows ail those act which are unknown to the world, ought novur ears to tinele and our cheeks redden, and ought we wilt to take heed lest we fall ? The second caution given us by the Apostle, is to bew are of rash and Beim.judg ments : there is nothing which we are more in the !Malt of doing than passing these judgments; there is oo proceeding in which lass diffidence is showed, even by those who are apparently religious ; and yet if we went to reflect a moment upon the conduct of our great ex. emplar whilst he was upon earth, we should find that he entreated, guided, encourag e d, ieatructed, taught, but he neither condemned norjtielorel, save the Son of Perdition. Even in the case of the woman taken in adultery, though the crime was great, be pave her reazon to expect mercy at his hands. and said, " Neither do I condemn thee, go ated sin no more." He, indeed, censured the fashionehla vices of the age—the hypocrisy of the sects ; but be censure n, individual. This was.his conduct, and are we as well quali fied to judge as be? do we possess as much zeal in the service of God? If we do, let us show it by giving good example, by pitying the weaknesses, and bearing with the infirmities of others. We had neither the means nor the capacity of forming a correct judgment. We formed rash opinions by appearinett—we decided od conduct by hearsay, and on the intentions of t h e parties by events, without reference to motives. We could give evi dence of the example set to our capacities by God Al mighty himself : he said with respect to the cities of old ; " Though the guilt be great, and the cry be loud, I will go down and see if things be so." This, therefore, was enforced by the example of God himself, who 'could not be supposed to want information, and who acted in this manner to be an example to us. Such was the conduct of God, when the report was strong and the cry great: and Christian charity, that dial not delight in eail—that did not rejoice in in iquity—that learned all. and hoped all, would act under the influence of this example. It should be also remembered, that as we sow so should we reap, and the judgment we meted out to others should be meted back to ourselves: if' they, in allottitig the punishment of sin, weighed other, in the balance, in that same balance would others weigh them. It was to be recollected, that when harsh and se vere judgin' nts were censured, those meant were pri vate ones; but when the offence was greet, the nett of judgment was proved: it then became a dirty to the public weal, and a debt to public justice. With re gard to the amount of the secniatioo their erring brother, it was such as would ear, anti create incredulity, and would of course ansaerctin wherever it should fall ; but eventually it would fell upset the tnaet o opulent Company ih the world. The Bank, that humanity and feeling so peculiarly their own, t h e con sented to scimburre those individuals who had beets de frauded. Many years had elapsed since a circumstance like this had b;•en brought to light ; and notwithstanding the false impressions that were endeavoured to be excited, he trusted the sad event would operate as a warning to all, , and impress indelibly the solemn and impressite maxim: that the wages of sin were death. Neither let thole inhabitants of this =nitre, who shall hear elfltilit tram'- action, behave like the Pharisee, and give their thanks to God that they are not like other men, nor venn this man. This may be so, but the speculations resorted to for the speedy acquirement of riches, even by the seemingly religious, and the engioements, which can be hardly called equitable, enter, d into in this metropolis, and in which it abounds, led hint again to the application of his text, that he who thinkcth he stands, should take here/ lest he fall. The love of money is the root of all evil, and yet those who acquire it know that the pursuit has filled them with trouble, and pierced them with many sor rows. In the case before us, a false and mischievous apology was attempted to be made about the purpose for which the money waa procured, and to which it was ap plied. This wee said by those who ought to knoerbotog things, as if the end could sanctify the means. This was a doctrine at war with every moral principle, and in:mical ter every thing virtuous and good. Wealth, acquired by these ungodly means could not prosper. No ; though it were expended most munificently in works of charity—though it reared its head amid lanes of devotion. It was his duty tv add, that when the law required such an example to be made as that before tbeno the preacher should have the sante object ; and though the remarks and observations he had made would not come well from any other pulpit, they came from that pulpit with peculiar propriety. Ile wishea once more to impress upon the congregation, that GM. would bring all their acts to light, and work a judgment upon them, whether good or evil. But time now admo nished him to conclude ; and he would addreo harself to his misguided, though he trusted penitent, brother. lie would say—" My brother, there is now nothing for you but the rich covenant of Grace contained in the New Testament ; this is your only hope. Pray to you' God : remember that Christ descended from the bosom o' his Father, and suffered the penalty of our crimes ; that ter us he took the shape of man ; for us he was bruised. and suffered persecution, anti by his stripes we were !u alt i.
