In the meantime, the Muswell Hill Land Company (Limited) has been formed for the purpose of securing immediate pos tession of the whole estate on which the - palace isintended to be. erected ; and this Company will reserve the sight for the palace and grounds for a sufficient period to enable definitive tenders to be received from responsible contractors for the 9 2 cecution of the works ata liked - price. The purchase-money agreed to be paid for the property, in tludingthe mansion and the timber, is £135,000, and the owners have consented to take payment as follows, viz.: —£70,000, in 7.000 shards fully 'paid up. A deposit of .£15,000 - on signing the agreement, and the balance of £lO,OOO at any time or times within three years, at the option of the Company, with interest -at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. In the event of the Co mpany not availing itself of the option to complete the purchase within three years from fhe date of the agreement, the whole of the deposit of £l5 000 will be returned to the C om p any. T he:estate consists of 4Z - !7 acres of park-like land, all in grass, well supplied with water, interspersed with ornamen 'tat thither,.beautifully undulated, and commanding views of an ektensivs and varied character. • It is situated on the' line of the Great Northern Railway, within five miles from li.ing's-cross, and the Wood Green Station of that Company stands on the estate, The land is admirably adapted for suburban villas, and on the opening of the Metropolitan Railway it may be reached in about 15 minutes from Farringdon-street. • • 'rhis direct access by Railway to the heart of London, will, of itself, considerably enhance the value of the property, alto gether irrespective of the advantage to be'derivecl from the erection of the Palace. ' • The great increase in the value of land in , the vicinity of the Crystal Palace at Sydenhara is worthy of record in this pros pectus. - The Directors of that Company sold their surplus 1 4 11 (1, amounting to about 130 acres, within 12 months of the formation of the Company, at a profit of £3OO per acre. A considerable portion has been . re-sold at a further profit of '4700 per acre, and the remainder is now being sold at a net profit of £1,300 per acre. It *ill therefore obviously be to, the interest of this Com- PanY to treat on liberal terms with the Great Northern. enlace Company, for the transfer to them of 150 acres, in con , sideration of the large additional profit which will be obtained on the remaining, 300 acres, in consequence of the construction of such a building as the Palace on the property. It wtll be stipulated that 'a free ticket of admission to the Palace and grounds for ten years shall be given to the holders of land 'shares in respect of eve' ten 'shares which may be held by them at the time of the allotment - of the Palace shares, and that a proportionate .allotment of those shares shall be relt i served. for the shareholders in this compan. • s not intended to make any call until the y question of the _ erection of the Palace shall hate been settled, When a general meeting of the shareholders will be called to consider the pro posed arrangements, and, as;the land can then be realised to great advantage, it is highly' probable that no further payment on the shares beyond the deposit of £2 10s. will ever be re quired, and at all events no call will be made during the year 1860. 'Each application for shares must be accompanied with a deposit of £1 per share uon the number of shares applied or. If no allotment be made p to the applicant the deposit pl will be returned in fulL Applications for the remaining shares may be made to the Directors, at the Offices of the Company, 61, Gresham House, Old Broad-street, City ; orto Messrs.

TIDE VOI,UNTEERS. (From the Leader and Saturday Analyist, of 111ayl2th.) The Volunteers are " a great fact." Looking at the twelve hundred young men who were in spected in Hyde Park by the Duke of Cambridge last Saturday, one could scarcely think that they were merely clerks and warehousemen, whose training had all been done in the hours they could steal from business. Their efficiency proved the natural adaptability of the men, and the zeal with which they had devot e d themselves to the work. It is the same in other parts of the metropolis, and all over the eountry. With all the foppery and folly which attach themselves as excre scences to the movement, it has given England an army of volunteers, upon which she may safely rely in the hour of danger. A year ago we were comparatively defenceless; an enemy who should have succeeded in landing on our shores would have met for some time with little resistance worth mentioning; now, more than a hundred thousand trained and disciplined men are ready to ea-operate with the regular army in its resistance to any foe who may be mad enough to assail us. Has it ever occurred to any one to ask to what man or body of men—to whatjournal or number of journals—we are indebted for this great result? We fear not. The man who originates a movement of this kind has to fight, in the commencement, against obstacles which seem almost insuperable. He is derided or refused a hearing; pooh-poohed ,as an impracticable dreamer, until something occurs which makes everybody a convert to his views, and then he is deliberately ignored. Everybody pro fesses to be struck by the same idea at the same time, and takes credit for his own genius or patriotism in putting it zealously forward. How ever usual this neglect may be, it is not the less discreditable, and we are not willing to see the man to whom England is mainly indebted for this re vival of a martial spirit and provision of a sure and cheap defence deprived of the credit to which he is entitled. Eight or nine years ago Mr. Alfred B. Richards, a gentleinan well known as an earn es t an d a bl e advocate of popular rights, urged upo n th e Govern ment of the day, in different organs of public opinion, the importance of encouraging thdpeople to take up arms in their own defence. The time was not propitious. The world wa s th en wrappe d i n a dream of universal peace ; and when, two or three years afterwards, that drea m was ru del y dispelled by the Russian war, our alliance with France indisposed people to a measure which as a precautions a ga in s t y of that coun t ry . Wh en , "principally and n ehcae hatred r s e a d r however, the addresses of the F renc h co l one l s , a t was the ambition the time of the Conspiracy Bill had warned Eng lishmen of the danger to which they were ex posed, Mr. Richards, who took a p rom i nen t par t in the public agitation which led to the defeat of that measure, renewed his efforts to awaken the people to the importance of taking up arms, and the Government to the duty of enco urag i ng th em by facilitating the establishment of rifle clubs. Mr. Richards's eloquent . appeals, in the columns of the Morning Advert i ser—a journal which has been the consistent and zealous supporter of the move ment all along, and which gave the cause all the benefit of its influence, whilst it was peered at in other quarters must be familiar tomany °four readers. But Mr. Richards did not content himself with urging ,his views through the press. He called a .mecting_ ; at St. Martin's Hall, .in March of last . year, over ;which Sir Charles Napier presided, and when the necessity of the measures he had so long adocated was strongly affirmed. That meeting launched the, movement the great results of which we now witness. The subject was at once taken up in the'columns of the Times and other-leading journals, and the penby ministry issued the famous Circular to Lords Licutenant, inviting the formation of rifle eltibs: The invitation was at once iesponded to, rnd the• movement, which was stimulated gre'atly by the differences • which appeared to exit between the policy of England and France during the autumn; has gone cn increa s i ng throughout the country. So far as we are aware, the great services of Mr. it:chards have never been recognised. iJc origi.. natcd the movement, and the mcn.the movement caught up seem to look with complacency upon themselves as its founders. We think the enthusiastic advocates of rifle corps might find some way to show their recognition of these merits ; for ourselves, although no indiscri minate admirers of the movemext„we feel bound to give our testimony to the claims of Mr. Richards to be regarded as its originator,.anxious all the more to do so because that gentleman has, with rare modesty, refrained from pressing them him self upon public attention. TIER PAPER DUTIES. BILL. 1 _ It is, perhaps, too m uc h t o h ope th a t L or d D er b y will retreat at once f r o m the position he has taken with regard to the Paper Duties Bill and allow it to pass the House of Lords. The notice he has given has, however, already been sufficient to set all classes talking about the 'constitutional office of that branch of the Legislature in matters of taxa tion, and there are already some forecast shadows of contentions wherein that ominous word "privi lege will be heard. Some of the present genera tion can tell from their own experience what a " privilege" quarrel is ; how it absorbs everything, stops everything, and introduces violent and angry passions into all our public business. Let us once add a quarrel between the two houses to the French Treaty, the Paper Duties, the Bankruptcy Bill, and the Reform Bill, and we shall arrive precisely at that dead-lock in the burlesque play, where nothing but the Queen's command, in the shape of a dissolution, will induce all parties to throw down their swords and daggers. Now, before the parties are committed, it may be useful, perhaps, to say a few calm and impartial words upon the constitutional doctrines involved in the state of facts which seems impending. Upon the statute•book, as it at present stands, the Excise duty upon paper is a permanent . impost, fixed for ever. It is a mistake to suppose, as we believe many do, that it is granted year by year by the Commons. This tax undoubtedly had its origin in a Resolution of the Commons passed in a Committee of Ways and Means, and afterwards incorporated in an Act of Parliament, which is as perpetual as any other Act. This is the case with all our ordinary taxation. Some very few taxes, such as the Income-tax, are granted only for short periods, it being understood that they are excep tional imposts, to last only during the continuance of some special necessity ; but the great body of our taxation is, so far as its legislative character appears, perpetual. To repeal any one of these taxes, therefore, requires an Act of the Legislature, and until this Repeal Act passes it must be col lected and paid into the Bank of England. This is all plain sailing. No one doubts that the Repeal Act is formally required. No one ought to be so ignorant of the forms of government he lives under as to suppose that a resolution of the House of Commons can repo 11 an Act of the Legislature. But now comes the question,—Are not the Lords constitutionally bound to give formal effect to the resolution of the House of Commons in matters of taxation ? They who would impose such an obli gation on the Lords may say much in favour of their proposition. The whole theory and practice of our modern Constitution is that the Commons hold the purse-strings of the nation, and are supreme in all matters relating to taxation ; that it is for the Commons to 'grant, the Lords to ratify, and the. Crown to accept. It may further, we believe, be said—although we will not say that our search has been of such a nature as to enable us to assert this positively,—that for upwards of a hun dred years, although there have been instances of the Lords refusing to pass a Taxing Bill, there has been no instance of the Lords refusing to pass a bill repealing a tax. Here are two strong points of constitutional theory and Parliamentary custom, which tend to the proof that the Lords are under some undefined and unwritten obligation to give every facility to the Commons to stay the operation at any moment of any tax which may be in exis tence. On the other hand, it may, and doubtless will, be urged that the Lords, being an independent Estate of this realm, cannot be under any obligation to exercise their legislative power at the mere dictation of any other body. It will be said that the mere fact of_ their assent being necessary is in itself full proof that they have a plenary right either to grant or to refuse that assent. It will be argued that, as there is confessedly nothing either in the rolls of Parlia thent or in the text-books of constitutional writers to fix upon the Peers an obligation to exercise the forms of their house as a mere ministerial office, and as there is no legal means by which the col lection of a tax can be stayed except by an act of the Queen, Lords, and Commons, it cannot he thus gratuitously assumed that the Lords lie under any such an humiliating obligation as that of affecting to give their free adhesion to a measure which they notoriously disapprove. It will probably be ad mitted that the House of Commons has by strenu ous and successful, and by a most happy usurpation, obtained absolute jurisdiction over the initiative of all taxation. It will be conceded that, according to the practice now settled, no tax can be placed upon the country until it has first been voted by the Commons in a'Committee of Ways and Means, and then passed into a law by the three Estates; but it will 'be affirmed that, the tax once made law, it is open to any one, of those three Estates to object to and to prevent its cessation. Against the precedents voted by those .who may adduce the old abuse of tacking popular bills to money bills in order to se cure the passing of the former, several more modern instances will be produced wherein the Lords have refused to ratify grants of mone y t o i n di v id ua l s . If the distinction between taxes levied for purposes of revenue and taxes imposed for purposes of general policy can be got over, the precedents for the in terference of the Lords will b e un if orm an d nume rous. It will be asked whether, in the discussion of the corn laws or the navigation laws, it was ever pretended that the L or d s were ous t e d o f a ll discre tion because the bills which abolished protection altered or abolished the scales of duties by which the machinery of that p ro t ec ti on was wor k e d . It will probably be also pointed out that there are other matters in which the initiative belongs to the Commons, but wherein the power of the Lords to alter or to object is never questioned; and perhaps the constitution of the Commons' House itself may be cited as an example among many of this class of questions. These are a few of the considerations which occur in favour of the power of free action claimed by the Lords, but the chief of all must be the broad ground that, before this Repeal Bill can become law, the Lords must read it three times and pass it; and that, as men of honour and indepen dence, they cannot do this if they believe in their consciences it is a bill which ought not to pass. We believe that of these two sets of arguments the latter is the more cogent ; that there is no dif ference in law or in constitutional form between a tax repeal bill and any other bill, and that if ever the occasion 'should unhappily arise it would be thus held in every court of law in Great Britain. Where, then, it will be asked, is the meaning of the Commons holding the public purse-strings ? We Must go one step further to explain this, and we must show how the - security for our liberties lies not so much in the control over taxation as is popu larly supposed. A tax is imposed by a law, which exists until it is repealed, but the produce of that tax does not pass immediately to the Crown, or rather to the Government—it is paid into the Bank of England. When there, no one can touch it, without the concurrence. of an irremovable officer called the Controller of the Exchequer; and that officer is bound to exercise his authority within the limitations of the Appropriation Act anually passed. This is the pivot of the supremacy of the House of Commons. It is the paying out of the money, and not in getting it in, that they bold limir power of the purse. Some time ago, as any one may ree who will refer to the blue-book of the Committee on Public Moneys, some rash utilitarians proposed to abolish this office of Controller of .the. Exchequer, and to trust all to "confidence in the Treasury." These people, although in high office, were igno rant of the rudiments of the Constitution. They were for pulling out the pivet. Let no one under value these constitutional forms. It is better for all parties that there should be no temptation to encroachment. But now for the practical application to passing events of a dissertation not very usual in our columns. We haven° doubt that, even id the highest and most liberal view of the.theory of our :Consti tution, Lord Derby and his Peers have full right. and authority to „throw out the Paper . Duti2s Repeal Bill. But the prudence and -expediency of- such a course of action are quite another Matter. For what, would. I . R . the practical conse quences? If the Commons and the country should be satirfie'l by the' reaSons"given in debate that the Lords arc substantially right, it is probable that- • the matter wtculd!te.passed over with a formal pro ted by the Commons. The same thing ha,g hap pened in a fee:6l'A case, where - tbe'Lords amended a Stamp Bill. , Instead of kicking the hill down the ,house,; according to the ancient ceremouy— . tbe Speaker giving it the first kick—the Ccinirnoils, recognizing the propriety of the alteration, simply dropped the bill, and pa.sed another with the Lords' amendment ineorport.ted, and sent it up to be passed; but let us suppose for a moment that this should not be so,---let us imagine that the House of Com mons mounted their high-privilege horse, and seriously resented this unusual practical interfer ence with the taxing and untaxing power' of the Commons: The Commons could not prevent the produce of this tax going into the public account at the Pank . of England, • but they could prevent it from ever going out, and they could, if the dispute went on, do any amount of wanton Mischief. In fact, both houses might act like some of .those wise couples who, when they quarrel, smash _their look ing-glasseS and pictures. We are not to suppose that any folly of this kind would be committed . at the present day ; it would be a sufficient evil if there were a conflict between the two houses. Whether the Lords are Prepared to buy the rejec tion of this bill at such a price is for their considera tion. If they are, we do not see how it is to be prevented. Strict formal right is on the side of the Peers, but the exercise of that right might be more pernicious than the commission of an ordinary wrong. The counter-move of the Commons would be to vote every tax for only a limited period.- 2 fines. SYMPATHY WITH GARIBA A letter from Turiu says :—The importance of the present moment is so great, that I regard it as a duty not to allow a day to pass without writing to you. As you know, the treaty for the cession of Savoy and the county of Nice has been now sub mitted to Parliament for its sanction, and Parlia ment finding that necessity is law, will not with hold its ratification ; of course, the opposition will make an outcry, and there will be several adverse votes. This state of things was predicted by Count Cavour to Baron Talleyrand, the French Minister here, in a diplomatic conversation they had together on the subject of Garibaldi's expedition. The Count spoke to him, if I have been correctly informed, pretty much as follows :—" Monsieur le Baron, you are intimately acquainted with this country, you knew it before the war, and have known it since the peace of Villafranca, both after I left the mi nistry and since my return to it. You know how great my popularity was on receiving back the port folio, and that my Cabinet was strengthed by *the aeces.siOn:of M. Parini. Well, confess if lam not now, after all this, less popular and strong than before. You are too clear-sighted not to have perceived it, and detected the reason. I have be come weakened in the eyes of Italy because I, have endeavoured to please you and show myself grateful to the Emperor, to France. I should have been re signed had I alone been"weakened, but . the halo round, the head of my august sovereign has also paled. But we do not complain, or even regret what we have done. The King felt deeply his debt of gratitude, and he would do over again what he has done; but I ask you, M. le Baron, if at this moment it can be rationally or reasonably expected that we should act with any great energy against the national sentiment in favour, as it were, of the King of Naples, who, in common with the Pope, is persecuting this sentiment. Can we treat harshly a man like Garibaldi, whom we. have, so to say, deprived of his native city, a man who repre sents Italy's strong desire of emancipation, and who braves every danger to obtain it ? Let us not give way to illusion : this emancipation must come either from above or below. If you suffer the high and the low to coalesce for this end, we shall avoid revolutionary disasters ; if you do not, the emancipation will be brought about all the same by means of slaughter dangerous to the whole of Europe. If you leave our hands free we may be able to temper, to regulate this outbreak, but we are neither willing nor able to stifle our own wishes, to put down our own friends, to sacrifice our own interests for those of others, which, to speak plainly, are not the interests of your Emperor either. He is assuredly not ignorant that no warm prayers are put up at Vienna, Naples, or Rome for the duration of the Napoleonic empire, and that if General La- Daoriciere is organising an army near our frontiers, he is not filling its ranks with the Emperor's friends." I believe the Baron sent a report of this conversation t 6 Paris. Our city was crowded this morning with Lom bards, Parmesans, Modenese, Romagnols, and Tuscans, who have all come here to enjoy the three festive days commemorative of the twelfth anniversary of our constitution. The religious ceremony was solemn, and the King was received with great cheering both on proceeding to church and on reviewing the regulars and national guard. The hereditary prince, at the head of the first legion of the national guard, was rapturously cheered. Unfortunately the weather is not dry enough, and will probably spoil a little the effect of the horse-racing on the Piazza d'Armi this after noon at four o'clock. The Opinione Nattonale of Paris, evidently with the connivance of the French Government, an nounces the opening in France of a subscription for Garibaldi. The editor, Mr. Gueroult, writes : "The struggle between liberty and despotism, between the champions of national independence and the instruments of foreign oppression, has recommenced in Italy. It was inevitable. There is no room in the Peninsula for two contradictory principles; one or the other must prevail. De voted friends of the Italian cause may have wished at first to see the struggle delayed. But now the time for deliberation and regret is past, Henceforth there is but one course to be followed — to maintain by influence, arms, and money the cause of Italian independence, the cause which last year triumphed by the deeds .of our armies at Magenta and Solfermo, as it will soon, we hope, triumph in the plains of Naples and Sicily. The manly accents of Garibaldi, which have raised all the youth of Italy, now echo through Europe. England abounds in meetings and sub scriptions. Shall France be behindhand ? Will France forget what she formerly did for America, Greece, Belgium, and for Italy itself ? May she not now renew the subscriptions which she made three years ago for guns for Alessandria ? When governments cannot act, it behoves individuals to take the initiative. A subscription is opened at the office of the Opinione Nationale for the defen ders of Italian independence." The Opinione Nationale heads the above sub scription with 500 f., to which its editorial staffand printers add 3051. 30c. AM. Rouille Besnard sends I,ooof. M. Petit, a discharged sergeant of the Zouavcs, contributes 1001., with the following remarkable letter : " Paris, May 13, 1860. "Since the Faubourg St. Germain enlists under the banner of Lamoriciere, it is only just and logi cal that the Faubourg St. Antoine should emigrate cu masse to join Garibaldi. Will you, then, inform me through your journal, of which I am a daily reader; whether a request to be allowed to go out to Garibaldi would be favourably received by th e Emperor's government. In other words, may r. , crve under Garibaldi with the permission of the French government in like manner as others v e (with authorisation) under Lamoriciere? Your answer is awaited by upwards of 10,000 men, who are ready to start with me. "An ex non-commissioned officer of the Ist Regi ment of Zouaves, commanded by Lamoriciere. "PETIT, ex-sergeant, Rue Moreau." The Cpinione Nationale considers it to be certain that Garibaldi in person was with the expedition that landed in Sicily, although the language of all the telegrals leaves that point doubtful. Mr. P. A. Taylor, in a letter to a contemporary, TILE FRENCIi TREATY. LETTER FROM MR. COBDEN. The fol p lo a w ri i s 7 B2 R letter ue has d o r b u e n e i n v e a r d s d i t r e e , ss:: a l y b y 1 2. Mr. Cobden to an intimate friend in Manchester : "My dear Sir,—l will answer your inquiries as briefly as possible._ " I am as strongly in favour of the principle of lad valorem duties as any one in Manchester. But ;nearly all the countries of Europe have, from mo tives of convenience, or to avoid frauds, preferred specific rates, and the French Government cannot be induced to take for its rule the ad valorem sys tem. Nor, indeed, is ,it-invariably_tlesirable ; for in stance, in the caseAiatott atitt some other articles, the English producer prefers specific rates. In goods of a simple aid uniform nature, admitting of easy classification, such as yarns and plain cottons, though ad valorem duties would be preferable, the idopiion of specific rates will not be attended with great inconvenience. If there are other articles of so mixed and varied a character as to defy classifica tion, the treaty has made provision for dealing with them in an exceptional manner. "England is not really in a position to dogmatise on this question. The French Government are of course aware that our own tariff hardly contains an ad valorem duty, and that even in recent years we have been engages in substituting specific for ad valorem rates. 21t - this momentthe wine-growers of Burgundy are holding meetings to protest against our specific duties on wine, which, owing to the al coholic test, impose 50 per cent. more duty on their common qualities, costing perhaps 2s. 6a. a gallon, than on the rarer kinds of claret, which are often worth more than ss. a bottle in the cellars of the Gironde. My answer to these complaints is that the evil is inevitable, owing to the exigencies of our revenue system. The French Government plead, with equal good faith, the necessities of their Cus toms service in defence of their specific duties. " With respect to your other inquiry, there is not the slightest foundation of truth for the reports in question. The commissioners now sitting in Paris are not engaged in correcting the imaginary blunders to which you refer. - We -have no more power than yourself to negotiate for the alteration of a word of the treaty. Our duties are limited to the carrying out of the provisions of the 13th ar ticle, in the manner contemplated , froth the first, and by the only mode in which it'could have been accomplished. The task on which the commission has just entered will call for the exercise of much patient labour; and they who wish to pass a fair judgment on its conduct will wait for the result. Speaking only of the past, I will say that from the time when I was first brought into communication with the French Government, now more than six months since, to the present day, I have expe rienced from them nothing but frankness, straight forwardness, and good faith. They have never professed to carry out at once a free-trade policy to the advanced stage at which we have arrived in England. They are rather at the point of dept,r tuee. -from which Mr. Huskisson started in 1823, with the great advantage of having had our eg perience to guide and encourage them, of hav ing- to deal with protected interests very much in advance of ours of that time. The French Government has begun with the repeal of duties on raw materials, giving notice that after a certain time the prohibitive system will cease, and foreign manufactures be ad mitted at revenue duties, w hich will operate as a protection to home producers. This is precisely the course pursued by Mr. Huskisson, and we know with what happy consequences. " The French Government have entered upon this new commercial policy, not for the benefit of England, but from an enlightened appreciation of the advantages it will confer on the people of France ; and were I to doubt the success of the experiment, or fear that they will not persevere in the career on which they have entered, I should be faithless to those principles the application of which has conferred such incalculable advantages and blessings on my countrymen. The present treaty will inaugurate a new era in the commercial inter course of France and England, and it will only re quire a few years to develop that state of mutual dependence which forms the solid basis for the peace and friendship of nations. " Can it be true that there are sinister influences at work in England to mar, if possible, this fair prospect? If so, I trust, the mercantile, manufac turing, mining, and trading interests of the coun try will prove true to themselve4, for in the present case their interests are eminently those of huma nity and civilisation.—Believe me, yours very truly, " RICHARD COBDEN." M.P.'S AND THE LATE CHURCH-RATE DIVISION. Amongst the members who were the means of sending up the Church-rate Abolition Bill to the Lords by a reduced majority was Col. Smyth, ono of the members for the city of York, who appears to have so far yielded to the strong pressure put upon him by influential supporters of the High Church school as to change his vote from "aye" to to "no." The event has caused much indignation amongst the Liberal supporters of Col. Smyth at the last election, some of whom have caused the annexed hand-bill to be widely posted throughout the city : " COL. SMYTIi AND CHIJRCII:RATES. " Electors and Citizens of York,—You have this year declared by an immense majority your desire that church-rates should be abolished. Your peti tion against church-rates, presented to the House of Commons, was signed by 2,B3o—that to the House of Lords by 3,046—by Churchmen as well as Dis senters. " For some years past Col. Smyth has eithe r abstained from voting at all, or els e has voted i n favour of the. Ab o lition Bill; but now, in the face of election h e hour an d of Compromise o f areformed is this unmistakable expression o f p ublic o p inion— in thepar Parliament—now , a m c, prospect lt_ o n f o a general w past, he turns round a nd records his vote against the Abolition Bill. Col. Smyth wishes 'to promote the spread of the spirit of Christian association between all men.' D oe s ho think that the way to effect this is by continuing this unjust and miserable tax, which compels men to pay for the support of a system of religion in which they have no part, and from which they may conscientiously dissent ? Does he think that the Church to which 1 b elougs gains either honour or poWer by its • persistence in a system. of legal.pluncler; or that in laying hands forcibly upon property and upon money for the support of its own cstahlishment it, is acting in accordance with the spirit and with the genius of Christianity. " Let Col. Smyth be assured that the citizens of York are not so faithless to the great principles of religious liberty as to view this retrograde step with indifference ; whatever pressure may have been brought to bear by a small knot of his own supporters, let him remember that there is a pres sure even stronger than this, and moue which must eventually be successful—the pressure of a deter mined and an intelligent public opinion.
