AFEW WORDS of OBVIOUS TRUTH: or, the AUTHENTICITY of a PART of the BAPTISMAL COMMISSION DISPROVED, by the Testimony of the Author of the " Acts of the Apostles," and by the references to the rife and practice of Baptism in St. Pool's Epistles. BY A UNITARIAN BELIEVER IN THE DIVINITY OF THE SON OF GOD. If we may believe their history or their writings, the Apostles knew no more of a Commission from Christ to Baptize in the name of the Father, anti of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, than of one to Baptize in the name of the Sun, and of the Moon, and of the Fixed Stars. In the teeth of this "fact," can it be a question, whether such a Commission ever issued from his lips ? Sold by Gossling and Egley, New Bond-street ; It. Hunter, St. Paul's Church-yard ; and S.

RELIGIOUS NOVELS.—We decidedly object to 4 religious novel—a work which blends the suldiniest truths with the most absurd fictions, and which, under the garb of whining sentimentalism, manifestly degrades, while it professes to recommend, the doctrines of Christianity. It religion is to become the legitimate framework for ro mance, why ought we to exclude anatomy, algebra, or any other complex science? By the publication of a religious novel, there is a literary fraud practised on the reader, which he cannot fail to resent. He expects to trace a resemblance between the fanciful representation, of the novelist, and the actual occurrences of life ; but he finds, that the whole zest of the eelaireissenient consists in the unnatural reformation of some confirmed rake, or in the miraculous endowment of some flirting chambermaid with the acumen of a professor of ethics. Instead of epigram matic dialogue, he only meets with inconclusive arguments and prejudiced opinions regarding the ritual of some pecu liar sect. In the great majority of cases he can recognize no glowing delineations of female loveliness or of manly virtue—no bold derelopement of the darker lineaments of humanity—no indications of humour—no masterly strokes o f satire—no touches of pathos—no graphic descriptions —no elegant fluency of diction. In short, every page is full of dull monotonous cant ; and it is, in general, difficult to determine, whether the work ought to be despised for its insipidity, or for the profane allusions with which it abounds.—Erlinburgh Literary Journal. LONIION, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1829. THE ARMY. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, as Military Secretary to General Lord Hill, Commanding-in-Chief, went through his List yesterday, at his Office in the Horse Guards.

Oats.—The American Sperm offered at public sale last week was all taken in at 641. a 651. 10s. ; there are no sales. Linseed Oil steady. Hors.—The accounts from the Hop Plantations state that the plant looks more healthy generally, on account of .e late heavy and favourable rains, and on good grounds, Alikelaly, the Hops are making rapid progress arid strong, but on the inferior soils the plant is so completely covered with vermin that under any circumstances two or three weeks can only elapse before the leaf turns black, and that the prospects of the latter are destroyed. The duty remains at 55,000/. The prices of Hops without any variation. SpicEs.—Spices continue dull. Some sales of un sifted Pepper are reported at 24d. This day 239 bags 870 small bags Pepper; the latter taken in 2id. a 2?-,d., the former at 2,1 d.

TEA.—Boheas have become rather dull in the market, at the advance, and in other descriptions there is but little doing. . COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING THE WEEK. Within the last week the weather has taken a most favourable turn, daily and nightly exhibiting, without change or variation, in full measure, the benign and genial influence of the English climate. The wind has remained steady in the warm and kindly south-west, producing frequent showers to cool and fructify the parched earth, with occasional soaking rains, which penetrated the roots of all ve getables. The sudden improvement in vegetable life, and in the colour, from a dingy yellow, and rufous mixture, to a deep, glossy, and burnished green, has been most striking. Throughout full three parts of the last month, a most critical season, little or no progress was made in the crops. On the whole, however, the best lands, whether under wheat or early-sown spring crops, afford rational hopes of a productive harvest, towards which consummation, the late and present genial temperature has no little contributed. The hay harvest became general in the beginning of the monthoind, upon the best meadows only, has proved moderately successful ; on all inferior lands, the, swathe has been so insignificant in weight, as scarcely to repay the expence of cutting. This mis fortune has extended to the usually moist climate. of our south-western counties, and to Ireland. Scot land seems to have been more fortunate ; and the watered meadows in all parts form an exception, be side the advantage of their producing hay of a su perior quality in a dry season. The clovers, artificial grass seeds, and spring tares, with the late-sown spring corn, all wore a miserable, stinted, and blighted appearance, until the change of temperature occurred. The winter tares are said to be a fair crop. Of the beans and peas, the accounts are extremely variable; but in the famous pea-country, Kent, that pulse is said to wear a very favourable appearance. It is not possible that the hops should escape the effects of the late season, so favourable to the generation, equivocal or otherwi,e, of insects; the consequence is, holding that article on speculation. The dry weather was, in one respect, favourable,—it enabled the farmer to clean his turnip fallows, and they have been gene rally in a very fair state for the reception of the seed, accompanied by the fortunate circumstance of showery weather succeeding. Sheep-shearing com menced too early for the health of the sheep, con sidering the extreme coldness of the season,—a too usual error. It certainly could not be accelerated by any want of wool, for which there is even less demand than ever. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market remained in an unusual state of stagnation all last week ; the prices could not be stated at any variation. The stock of West India Sugar is now 8,900 hhd,. and trs. more than last year. The deliveries are again very limited, being 2,834 hhds. and trs., which is 1,247 less than the corresponding week of 1828. At the close of the market the estimated sales were 800 hauls. and trs. ; the market very heavy. The prices of Refining Sugars also rather lower. The Refined trade was very dull last week, but the small supply of goods at market prevented any further reduction in prices. A few transactions in low Lumps were reported; Crushed are also inquired after. Grocery goods are entirely ne glected, and are offered on lower terms. Molasses un varied. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The quantity of Mauritius Sugar brought forward last week was about 19,000 bags ; the great proportion was of inferior quality, and sold heavily at a reduction of 6d. to Is. per cwt. ; a large proportion was taken in, but towards the close of the week the mar ket assumed rather more firmness. FOREIGN gtican.—The only sales last week were about 300 chests fellow Havannah Sugar, 28s. a 325. The ar rivals seem to have checked the demand; they consist of 3,660 chests Havannah, of which 160 are white ; also 220 chests Brazil and 413 lihds. Porto Rico. COFFEE. —The Coffee Market remained very steady all last week. The public sales of British Plantation went off in a languid manner, and in some instances the Demerara, Berbice, and Dominica sold rather lower and heavily, but no general reduction could be stated. About 1,600 bags good ord. pale St. Domingo were offered at public sale; both parcels were taken in at 355., but afterwards sold at 345. 6d., good ord. Ceylon sold freely at 335. 6d. This day 151 bags Foreign Coffee, 141 casks Jamaica; the latter sold at fair prices, the former was damaged, forming no guide to quotations. The Market is steady. RUM, 13RA NDY, AND TIOLL A NOS. —There were several contracts for fine Rum reported last week for the home consumption ; the best favourite marks at 4s. 3d., and second marks at 4s. ; some fine Jamaicas were also sold at Ss. 9d., 32 over, and some good, average 24 over, at 2s. 84., 17 at 2s. 6d. ; Leewards, good quality and 1 and 2 over, at 2s. There are several parcels of Brandy taken for shipping at full prices. In Hollands there are few sales; parcels of German Gin offer, but for the latter there are no buyers. HEMP, FLAX, AND TA T.

WILL OF LORD HARRIS. (FRoas A CORRESPONDENT.) On Wednesday the will of this distinguished, but scientific Nobleman, was proved in Doctors' Com mons. Probate Was granted to his eldest SOH, Major- General (now Lord) Harris; and the effects were sworn under 90,0001. It is well known that the deceased was in the frequent habit of boasting that he had been the architect of his own fortune, and by thus enacting the laudator temporis aeti, had dis pleased some members of his family. • One of the clauses in his final settlement plainly alludes to this circumstance. It runs thus :—" To my estimable and much-loved daughter, Ann Lushington (the wife of the celebrated civilian), and to her worthy husband, and my highly esteemed friend, I leave 2001. each, for a ring, or any memento they may choose, of our mutual regard ; and to each of their children who may be living at the time of my de cease, I leave mourning rings, in the hope that they may at odd times bring their grandfather to memory, and recollect that, under Providence, he imputes his rise from nothing to his affluent fortune, to his economy and willing privation from self-indulgence through a long life." In another part of his will, the deceased thus disposes of the costly jewels which fell to his lot in the distribution of the Seringapatam prizes : " The jewels received by me, as part of the Se ringapatam prizes, I wish to entail as a memorial in the family, of what providence has done for it; and to that intent, I bequeath the same to my said trustees. Upon the same trusts, the gold medal sent to Tippoo Sultan by Louis the Sixteenth of France, bearing very strong likenesses of him and his Queen Antoinette, and which being found among Tippoo's treasures by the Prize Agents (chosen by the army, not only to take charge and dispose of the booty taken, but to decide on the share each individual was entitled to), was by them, in the name of that army, sent to me, requesting my acceptance of it.' , Wheat.

On inquiry at Guy's Hospital yesterday, Lam bourn was pronounced not to be out of danger. In consequence of the determined attempt he made to tear open the wound he inflicted in his throat, it has been found necessary to put him under restraint by placing a strait waistcoat on him, and he now lies at the Hospital, bound in such a manner, that if ever so inclined to deprive himself of life, he could not effect his purpose. The fellow, who seems about 65 years of age, has been a wood-cutter, at Ded dington, near Oxford, and obtained his livelihood by cutting the stub-wood for the staves of brooms and mops. He married the unfortunate victim of his revenge in 1823, at which time she was living as a single woman in the family of Mr. Davidson, in whose service she was when she died. Mr. David son then resided at Kilburn. After they had been married a year or two, he for the first time disco vered, that instead of his wife being a spinster, as she represented herself to be, she had had four ille gitimate children by various men of her acquaintance. This discovery brought on much unhappiness, and was the cause of his ill treatment towards her, which ended in her deserting her home. The miserable man, although thus deceived, declares that he had a very great partiality towards her, and had, after she had left him, taken her be fore a Magistrate, thinking he could order her back to his arms; but the magistrate told him he had no power to interfere, and she again went off. The unhappy man in alluding to this circumstance yes terday morning, said that when the magistrate de clined to interfere between them, she left him with a grin upon her countenance, since which all his affection for her had ceased. He stated, as well as he was able, to two or three gentlemen who stood at his bed side, that he was a widower when he mar ried the unfortunate woman, and had a family of eight children, all of whom were grown up, and with the exception of one daughter who lived cook in a family at No. 16, Charing-cross, were living in the country. In alluding to his deceased wife, he said, " Ah, she was a bad one ! God rest her soul now she is dead ! I hope she is happy." A gen tleman standing by said, f` It is very n icked of you to bless and curse her at the same moment and in one breath." The unhappy man replied angrily, " I did not curse her; I said she was a bad one, only." He then attributed the fatal end to which he had brought his wife to Mr. and Mrs. -, the latter of whom had written the letter to him for his wife, desiring him not to come near her. He further said, " Whenever I have called to see my wife, they said " Come up stairs, Sarah, and don't waste your time with that old fool." He says that he ca:ne to London for the purpose of chastising his wife, but not to murder her. Before Burford, the officer, went away, he re quested he would call upon his daughter, at 16, Charing-cross, and desire her to cull and see him. He also desired him to write to his brother, and several of his children, informing them of the affair. The whole of which Burford promised to do. THAMES TUNNEL. A General Meeting of the Proprietors of this un dertaking was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, pursuant to adjouinment from a former meeting. _ _ . The Meeting was numerously attended. Amongst the Proprietors present there were the Marquis of Salisbury, Admiral Sir E. Codrington, W. Smith, M.P., Mr. Wollaston, Mr. Bramah, &c. At one o'clock, Mr. W. SMITH was called to the chair. Mr. Butler, the clerk to the Company, read the advertisement by which the Meeting was called. The CHAIRMAN informed the Proprietors that their 'first business would be to elect a Director in the room of Hugh Gray, Esq., deceased. There was only one candidate, J. A. de Reimer, Esq., who was unanimously elected. The clerk read the report, of which the following is an 'extract :--- • REPORT OP THE COURT OP DIRECTORS TO THE SPECIAL ASSEMBLY fa , PROPDIETORS, HELD AT THE CITY OF , . LONDON TAVERN, - JUNE 30, 1829. On the state i 1 the Innitel itself, the Directors have nothing now tOriport ; but they beg to say, that they have been continually anxious to bring the expenditure down to the lowest oossible rate - consistent with the due preser4ation of the works, and with another important object, that of keeping alive the public feeling, and deriving some income from visiters, while the progress has been suspended ; and they have the pleasure to state, that the athount of revenue flowing in from this source affords a decisive . proof that the interest at first excited by this new and bold undertaking yet remains in, great and beneficial activity. The applica tion to his Majesty's Ministers, formerly alluded to, has been continued through the intervention of a Noble Lord, whose kindness, attention, and zeal for the interests of the undertaking, entitle him to the warmest thanks of the company ; at one time it afforded flattering prospects of success, but has proved abortive for the present, although they consider the door as still left open for a renewal of their efforts in the next Session of Parliament. In consequence of what passed at the last meeting of the Proprietors, they have deemed it proper to submit a sub sidiary relation of the substance of the communications of the Directors with Mr. Vignoles, the civil engineer, respect ing proposals for finishing the tunnel by contract, under security, upon a plan different from that of Mr. J. Brunel'. The principal feature of Mr. Vignoles' proposition was, an undertaking to perform the - remaining part of the excavation and brickwork; to the opening at the other side, at a cost not exceeding at most 2501. per yard, and give a security for the performance of the contract by all advance .of 5,0001. of work, and security by bonds for 10,0001., ,and a reserve of 10 per cent. from all payments for work done, till the whole be completed. Two parties were to contract for, thecxcavation on the above terms, Mr. Vignoles to be the sole directing engineer. Mr.Vignoles also undertook to make an experiment in carrying-on the Tunnel for at short dis tance at his own Expense, and to make the-.necessary descents, and take sections of the bed of the river at his own expense, the Company giving him the use of such materials as they had by them. The report added : It will, therefore, now be for the consideration of the Proprietors, whether, if the proposal of the said parties, orany other competent persons, to complete the tunnel by any other mode which may, on mature consideration, be deemed feasible; they , Will give the Directors power to enter into in engagements with such parties ; to adopt their plans, and to depart from that of Mr. Brunell, which, however ingenious it may appear, has been found to be, attended with an expense apparently incompatible with the reasonable expectations of the shareholders, to derive even a moderate remuneration for their advances. A Proprietor here asked whether the models and drawings explaining the plan contained in the pro posals of Mr. Vignoles were in the room ? The CHAIRMAN, having answered in the nega tive, proceeded to address the meeting on the sub ject for which they had met, and on the circuAt stances which had taken place since they felt' last assembled. He commmenced by saying,that the imputations thrown out against the Directors at• the former meeting were utterly unfounded. -They had been accused of having come with a cut-and-. dry resolution of displacing Mr. Brunell, and putting Mr. Vignoles in his situation as engineer for con tinuing the work. This Was a direct misrepresenta• tion of the fact. A proposition had been made to them to complete the tunnel at something less than half the expense which had been estimated as the probable cost of it by Mr. Brunell. The Directors had not accepted the proposal, because they felt that ns Mr. Brunell hal been appointed by the body of the Proprietors, they only could give authority to treat with any other other person ; and . they reso felt that no hitt ration in the plan of the works could be made without the authority : Of • the Proprietors. With this feeling they could not enter into any engagement whit Mr. Vignoles. Indeed, so far from it, that that gentleman would not disclose the whole of his plan until the Directors were fully authorised to treat Iwith him. He, however, gave permission to any Proprietor to inspect this model at his own house, ant:was ready to explain it to those who went to . it. The reason why the Directors felt it examine come to the Proprietors for this audio- F present the works were quite at a -•e was no prospect of their beinv -;th them, unless some plait -v could be completed at which had been esti • polite, and, he which the - -iavds the on the race `r. necessary tt. rity was, that a. stand still ; and the. enabled to proceed w were adopted by which tbt . much less expense than that mated. From the very generous, would add, condescending manner . Duke of Wellington had behaved to'. Directors, in their communications with him subject, they felt it necessary to inform his G. of the correspondence which they had had with b. Vignoles. A Noble Lord, whose name could never be mentioned but with feelings of the highest re spect, had taken upon himself the trouble of com municating with the Duke of Wellington cm the subject of the wish of the Directors to obtain as sistance from Government for the completion of the work. In order to enable him to do so with full information, Mr. Brunell was requested to furnish him with an estimate of the probable expense of its completion, and he gave in the following estimate : Remainder of the tunnel, calculated on the cost of the first half . Cost of new shield . Expense of removing the vlsi, and placing the new shield Pumping well, and drain from Wapping shore Diving-bell, with a suitable vessel : also addi tional covering over the bottom of the river £90,000 5,000 2,000 6,000 7,000 5,000 7,000 60,000 15,000 to the extent of 300 feet, if it should be re. quired_ Salaries for three years Shaft at Wapping The descents Purchase of premises at Wapping 200,000 The Noble Lord said, that if he brought it for ward be should feel it necessary to move for a Com mittee of the House, to examine the estimates, and, in order to have rather above than under what might be required, he made some alterations in some of the items. For instance, the estimate of 90,000/. for carrying the tunnel quite across, he raised to 110,0001. 'The estimate of the purchase of houses on the north side, he raised from 15,0001. to 40,00 Q/.; thus making the whole 250,000/.; and in his corn , munication with the Duke of Wellington on the matter, he told him that if Government should con sent to advance the money, (in what he did note sly), it might lay its account to being called upon for 50,0001. more, making in the whole 300,000/. The Duke of Wellington consulted with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer on the subject, who, as faras he was concerned, put a negative on the advance of any money at the present moment at least. Under; these circumstances, it was clear that if Government should consent to advance any money next year. the less that might be required, the greater would be their chance of obtaining it. Various means were suggested of raising the sum necessary, and amongst others a lottery, but as Government had already abandoned a lottery, that idea was given up. The calculation of income that had been made„ out of which the principal and interest were to be repaid, was 15,0001.; and supposing that Govern ment were to lend 300,0001. at 4 per cent. that would take 12,000/. a-year to pay the interest, leav ing only about 3,0001. a-year as a sinking fund to pay off the principal, and until _that was done the Proprietors could not expect to receive a penny prin.. cipal or interest of 170,0001. they had paid. Under these circumstances, the Directors felt it of the ut most importance that the expense of completing the work should be as low as possible. It was the only prospect of their ever being able to realise any thirq,- for the Proprietors. Even if they had the money now, they would be justified in the course they were taking s and it must be clear that they could have no other object in view than the interest of the Pro prietors at large. The Honourable Gentleman then read the resolution which it was intended to move to accomplish the object which the Directors had in view : Resolved, therefore, that it is expedient to empower the Directors, and they are hereby empowered, to adopt• any other mode of carrying on the work, preserving the same dimensions anti internal appearance, which shall ap pear to them likely to ensure its completion, and to treat with, and engage with any party or parties who may be willing to contrast fur the same, on such terms as shall ap pear to the Directors to warrant the expectation of ob taining asum sufficient for the accomplishment, either for the tunnel alone, or with the necessary approaches thereto, and who shall produce security for the performance of such contract or contracts. The authority which the Directors would thus ob tain (if the Proprietors. should agree to the resolu tion) would not bind them to accept the proposal of Mr. Vignoles, or of any other person, unless they saw it was one which would be for the interest of the great body, and until they had the opinions of scientific men as to its practicability, and obtained proper security for its accomplishment. Mr. J. MARTIN then moved the resolution which the Chairman had read. On its being put from the Chair, Mr. ADAM' rose to object to it. • The question which the meeting had now to decide was, whether they would give a power to the Directors to defeat all that had hitherto been done. They had sufficient experience of Mr. Brunell's abilities : of those of Mr. Vignoles they knew very little. He would ask the Directors, whether they had f u lly exam i ne d hi s plan ?—had they obtained the opinion of scientific . men upon it ?—and were they prepared, then, to recommend it for the adoption of the meeting? If not, how could they ask them to abandon a plan which had been tried, arid had succeeded as far as funds allowed its progress. It was true that the outlay had been greater than was at first contem plated; but in such a work it was no imputation upon the character of an engineer that he could not at once .anticipate all the difficulties that might arise: As far as the work had gone on, every scientific man who saw it gave it as his opinion that it could not be better done. Mr. Adams then. went on to suggest that they should proceed no farther until they knew whether Government would advance 'the money. In the course of his speech, Mr. Adams read extracts from the report of the Directors in 1827, in which they strongly deprecated the per formance of any part of the tunnel by contract. He concluded by moving an amendment to this effect : Resolved, that the practicability of making the tunnel being established by the fact of 600 feet out of 1,300 feet having been safely and securely effected, and this meeting entertaining a hope that Government, sanctioned by.. Pa rliament, will be induced to consider it a national work of great public utility, and lend a sufficient sum to coMplete the undertaking, that the Directors do continue their ex ertions to obtain a loan from Government. Mr. WOLLASTON, jun., seconded the amendment. Mr. W. SMITII, jUti., opposed the amendment, the object of which, he contended, was only delay. The real question, he admitted, which was involved in the motions before them was, whether Mr. Bri nell was the proper person to be intrusted with the completion of the work. He admitted that Air. ~l3runell was a man of great talent, but it could not :be denied that he had been most extravagant in the application of the funds. The speaker here entered into a variety of detail to show that Mr. Brunell had been both negligent and extravagant. In proof of the former, he adduced his own admission, that from the frequent descent of pieces of brickbat and other matters into the shield, it was clear that the earth above was very loose, and yet he took no suf ficient precaution to guard against the irruption which soon followed. In support of his other charge, of extravagant expenditure, he dwelt much on Mr. Brunell having, in doing half the work, so EX PO
