THE GARDENER'S GAZETTE AND WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, LITERA TURE, AND POLITICS. No. 1., Published JANUARY 7th and isth, Price FIVEPENCE. It is not a little extraordinary that the Horticulturists of this king dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support a Journal, or occasionally more required its advocacy. We speak of Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only ; take an interest in the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu lating men, and; from the very nature of their profession, thinking men ; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Gar deners. The Duke of Devonshire is a Gardener ; for though ho does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he pays others for doing the labour and attending to his garden, from his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interest in the results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of ground is a Gardener, and takes a s muc h pr id e, or as muc h i nterest i n hi s avo cation as the Most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes an inte rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the prince, just as the poorest soldiet-in the ranks is a soldier, as well as all above him; up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud son says or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes ; notices of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet ings; systematic exposure of all evils; censure of all abuses; and above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tide is tarried, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All these are essential. Turnpike Bills, the Tithe Question, Taxes, regulations for importing Foreign produce, and many other ques tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there been such a Journal in the days of alarm, when the malicious re port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera was spread abroad, the gross delusion could have been dispelled in a few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub- • lie for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of business, and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer. The announcement of two ruch Journals threatened to split the science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense of making any thing public ; for as, in all probability, one or the other would find its way into the hands of every one interested in any branch of Horticulture, and neither of the Journals much more than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties, the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil lage in the King ' dom, and if we d o no t grea tly un d erra t e th e c l asses who delight in Horticulture, from the highest to the lowest, the re will scarcely b e f oun d ono who does not, in the course of the week, peruse the Gardener's Gazette. The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political opinion of its own. Where a question is sufficiently important to deserve it, the most talented article that shall have appeared during the week on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul ture may be agitated, the Gardeners' Gazette shall be foremost in the field, and not the least effective. It remains only for the Gardeners—we repeat again—from the Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the Proprietors will, in all modesty, veuture to point nut :- 1- The Nobility and Gentry throughout the kingdom should pro vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense. 2. The Gardeners who may not be so supplied, should order it nevertheless, and being practical men, should, whenever they have an opportunity, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new ones, &e. &e. 3. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply immediate returns if the prizes awarded at such shows (which re turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate whatever may be deemed useful information. 4. The members of such Societies who take in a weekly paper, should immediately order their Newsmen to change it for the Gar dener's Gazette ; such as do not take a .Sunday paper, and minuet well afford it, should induce three or four others to join them. S. Nurserymen should not only order it for their own guidance, for which it will be as necessary as their own stock-books, but they should also inform every customer of the advantages of possessing in a Newspaper a record of every thing that is passing in the Horti cultural and Agricultural world. 6. Nurserymen and dealers in every thing appertaining to horti culture, floriculture, arboriculture, farming and gardening, should adopt the Journal as the means of publishing their Advertisements, which, whether lists of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, seeds, or de scriptions of tools, implements, machines, or of land, farming stock, or erops,—Auctioneer's t eatalogu es , farms, houses or gardens to let, or any other subject, Gan thus be placed in a single week in the hands of every body at all interested in them. We will just apprise Gardners cf all ranks that the expense of conducting the Gardener's Gazette will exceed two thousand pounds per annum : and that as the surplus on each Newspaper, beyond the cost of the stamp and paper, is one penny only, it re quires ten thousand copies per week to be sold to meet this ex pense, and of which number at present little more than five thou sand are ordered; much, therefore, remains to be done before the next year. Orders for the regular d e li very of the Gardener ' s Gazette may be given to any Newsman or Clerk of the Road in the country, any Newsman in London, and in the want of either of these being in the neighbourhood, of a person who may require it, a letter (post. paid) to the Editor, care of W estley and Clayton, 162, Piccadilly, an d 7, Windsor-court, Strand, w ill insure the delivery by post on Sunday mornings. Books, prints, plants, flowers, implements. seeds, &e. for notice, newspapers containing reports, orders for advertisements, original articles, and every other communicatio n f or the Editor, may be forwarded as a b ove . Where the articles are worth the carriage and postage, of course it is not expected that it should be paid by the sender ; but in all matters of inquiry or orders the communication must be postage and carriage free.

MOULS, No. 8, HIGH-STREET, NEWINGTON-BUTTS While Miss Tree was playin 'Juliet in Philadel phia; Mr. Hamilton, as Romeo, was suddenly taken ill just as the balcony scene was about to commence: When she said .to Mr. Lindsey, who had relieved Mr. Hamilton, " Romeo , Romeo, wherefore art thou R o meo ?" o n e o f th e pit sa id l ou d enough to be heard by the whole house—" Kase trot her man's sick." A penny showman, who has for some years exhibi ted on a diminutive scale, in Ogle-street, Marylebone, the atro cities which have occurred in domestic life, has, with the avidity usual with his craft and calling got up a " Representation of the atrocious and horrible murder of Hannah Brown b y James Grecnacre, with the manner in which he divided the body of the unfortunate woman truly depictured." Such disgusting exhibitions are little calculated to improve the taste or morals of the rising generation, and they must certainly excite the disgust of all well-disposed persons. CHURCII-RATES.—We cannot too often, or too ur gently, repeat that when Church-rates were first established there was but one only form of worship and religious persua sion throughout the entire community. What therefore was just then is now manifestly most unjust and nefarious. It has been urged by the anti-abolitionists, that Dissenters having bought land at a reduced price, owing to the Church-rate charge, cannot reasonably complain that they are subject to that charge, and that they are compelled to pay the rate. Now, in order to see the sophistry hero employed, it is neces sary only to turn our eyes to the fact that there was a general fund appropriated by the nation for the maintenance of reli gion, and that of this fund the Dissenters had not, neither have hey now, any the smallest share whatever. On this point, however, we cannot do better than quote the forcible language of the Hon. Member for Hull :—" The term national esta blishment" (he justly remarks) "applied to the establishment of a single sect, is on the face of it a fraud and a falsehood ; the establishment is not national, but the establishment of a particular sect at the expense of the other sects. If the Dis smter chooses to waive his claim to his share of the proceeds, this is anything but a reason why he should be oppressed by a payment instead. As it is, Church-rates are taken from the holders of all property subject to them, by the depreciation of all such property ; for it is presumable the supporters of Church-rates do not mean to say that Church-rates are paid by nobody, because all property subject to them is bought at a diminished rate. The Dissenters have property as well as other people; the Dissenters therefore pay the Church-rates like other people, through the depreciation of their property. If then a Dissenter, after buying property at the universally depreciated price in which the property of Dissenters has shared, has the boldness or the good luck to be able to refuse Church-rates, what he does is simply to recover, as far as the case reaches, a portion of what ought from the beginning to have been left in his hands as his share of the national contri bution for the maintenance of religion, and the amount of which he is actually at this moment disbursing for the support of his own ministers," SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. .The Duke of Wellin g t on , Si r R o b ert P ee l , an d t h e other heads of the Tories, obtained credit for candour when they not only supported the new Poor-law Act, but admitted that the Ministry who proposed and car ried that measure were entitled to the highest praise, for succeeding in an attempt from which all former Administrations had shrunk. " The subject," said the Duke of Wellington, " had been submitted to the House by several Noble Lords, and had also been under the consideration of every Administration that he had known ; but no plan had ever been suggested, or scheme proposed, to remove and remedy the evils of the existing laws which, in his judgment, at all equalled the present, and for it he must return the Noble Lords opposite, with whom it had originated, his sincere thanks." But though the Tory Leaders gave this praise the ne w Poor-law and its authors, and hold the same language to this day, and though it is well known that if the Tories were in power to-morrow, they would no more than the. present Ministry think of either repealing it or rendering it less efficacious, there is yet a most discreditable tampering with the people on the subject. The Tory leaders do not commit themselves ; but they seem to have given the word to their underlings to do all that they possibly can to subject the Whigs and Reformers to obloquy on account of the measure. At all the elections the candidate supported by the Tories is invariably found the opponent of the PooF-law, and to hold language to the electors of a most inflammatory character, in order to profit by prejudice and, delusion. The nobles of a century or two back used to have retainers whom They employed in the perpetration of ugly deeds, from which they - could profit without being implicated in them. The Tories of 'the present day seem to have studied. .11.1aehiaVel to some purpose. They send out their Ser geant Adams and some such personageS to hold a lan guage of which they are themselves ashamed, and which, of course, they would at once disavow ; but they have no objection to profit by the mischief caused by such instruments. Thus, while Sir Robert Peel and Sir Jairies Graham affect to be strongly in favour of the new pbor law, Mr. Sergeant Adams, at War wick, has the assurance to tell the electors that " the poor were locked up in prisons ; in places where they were deprived of the light of day. Husbands were se parated from their wives, children from their parents ; nor did the treatment of the poor in this unfeeling way end with life : when they were dead they were put un der the sod without bell or pall, or the ordinary decent observance of a funeral." Mr. J. ParkeS boldly took up the gauntlet thrown down, by the Learned Sergeant. " Ile w ou ld on ly o b serv e," h e said, "on one miserable and disgraceful attempt of the ultra-Tory candidate to throw the dust of a popular prejudice in their eyes. The Learned Sergeant had retailed to them the hetim hug electioneering device of ,use of the Poor.law, and reviling its administrators. He (Mr. Parkes) should despise himself if he stooped to popularity by pretend ing to opinions not really held by him." After ob serving that the measure had been supported by the great majority of all parties—Whigs, Tories, and Ra dicals, he added—. " He would not say there were not defects in the mea sure, and room for improvement in the administration of it. All such organic changes in the social condition of a nation must. have - time for improved working, and when experience and results would amend such a measure as the Poor-law Bill, and they might rely upon it that pre judice would give way to interest and conviction. He was far from regretting the jealousy evinced by honest opponents of the Act. on the rights of the poor ; that jealousy would usefully watch over the unions, and make the Legislature anxious to remove any real evils in the law or its administration. If he had a proposer such as Mr. Wyse, the Chairman of their unions, and such a Tory partisan as the vicar, Mr. Boudier, an able advocate in pamphlets for the Bill he (Mr. Parkes) should scorn to act at the hustings the part of Mr. Sergeant Adams in thus propagating delusion and prejudice."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Sergeant Adams was proposed by Mr. Wyse, a gentleman who owns land round the borough of War wick worth about- 5,0001. a year, and who is the Chairman of the Poor-law union to which Warwick belongs. The other gentleman above alluded to, the Rev. John Boudier, vicar of St. Mary's Warwick, a strong ultra-Tory,published-some time ago a very sen sible pamphlet under the title of " Remarks on some of the more prominent features and the general ten dency of the New Poor-law Bill, addressed to those who are disposed to think it a harsh and oppressive act." The Rev. Mr. Boudier, who himself farms 120 acres, is a member of the Board of Guardians, and is competent from experience to speak of the working of the old and new systems, does not hesitate to affirm that " the charges of cruelty and oppression in the administration of the new Poor-law are founded in misrepresentation ; he maintains that the old ys tem was " fraught with very many evils necessa rily fatal to the prosperity of the country, and surcly working its ruin ;" he inveighs against the qualified advocates who set themselves in hos- tile array against the New Bill, and cry down its enactments with a pretty general anathema ; and " la ments to see that the very virulence of party politics is let loose against it." How impudent in Mr. Ser ,cant Adams to rest his claim to the suffrages of the electors of Warwick on the bill of indictment which he has drawn up against his own proposer, and one of his most violent partisans ; and what depth of degra dation in these men to show such utter 'indifference to principles as to give their support to one whom they must despise in their hearts as a panderer to the lowest pr - ejudices, "letting loose the very virulence of party politics" against what they consider an excellent mea sure most 'unexceptionably administered. Mr. Ser geant Adams must be in their eyes either in unscru 7 pulous asserter of any opinion from which he may derive a temporary advantage, or an ignorant charlatan v.-ho prates about that of which he is totally ignorant. Mr. Sergeant Adams will find in the pamphlet of Mr. Boudier a refutation of all that he has advanced, and a picture of the old State of things in the very darkest colours : " For a f am ily cons i s ti ng o f so many i n di v id ua l s, a cer tain sum of money p er h ea d was d eeme d requ i s i te f or their support, and could be demanded, as we have seen, of the parish, no natter whether the father or mother were of good or ill c h arac t er ; i n d ustr i ous or i dle ; sober or addicted to drunkenness ; the number of heads was the only r eriteri on , so many s hilli ngs f or each must b e pro vided. fhough it were known that the parent worked perhaps some two or three days only in the week, and spent the remainder in the ale-house, the same allowance could be . demand e d, an d must b e pa id ; an d w h a t was the inevitable consequence of all this ?—that all proper moral distinction was done away with ; the industrious labourer who struggled bard to maintain a large family, and to keep himself from what in good old times was thought th e di sgrace o f apply i ng to a par i s h f or re l ie f, hadindeed the conscious merit of independence, but how was it likely he would persevere in his good purposes, when he saw his idle, drunken, or profl;gate neighbour demanding from the parish, as his right, a weekly sum, equal, perhaps exceeding, what he could earn by steady :And persevering industry. Another evil, was, that the quantum of r e li e f or d ere d b y mag i stra t es in various parts of a county was often different in amount, and was the occasion of paupers going from one magistrate to another for the Purpose of ascertaining from which of them th e highest sca l e of allowance cou ld b e obtained. E ver y parish fur n i s h e d glaring instances of this kind. The good principles an d resolution of the industrious became natu rally impaired and broken down, and even those who could earn high wage s d eeme d it q uite unnecessary to l a y up any portion against sickness, accident, or old ago ; they natu rally enough saw no disgrace in doing as others did, and in every emergency to supply their needs by an appeal to the parish. The labourer in this manner lost his independence, becam e he e dle ss o f character, i n diff eren t w h et h er his cal 1-layer th oug h t i ll or well of • him, argue d w i th himself that he must b e Supported, and cou ld exact, not as a matter of favour, but o f r i g h t, the fu ll a ll owance o f par i s h pay ; not, noreov er , necessarily in return for labour performed, but even though he were idle, drunken, and profligate. The enormous sums requisite to meet these unjust and pernicious demands overwhelmed the country in difficulties, and hard- ened the hearts of the higher and middle .classes, who con tributed to the poor-rate." The indifference to principle shown by Mr. Wyse and the Rev. Mr. Boudier is, we fear, but too charac teristic of the Tories. They approve of the New Poor-law ; they admit that in general it has been wisely and humanely administered; they know that it has been of signal benefit to all owners of property as well as to the working classes ; they had not the heart to propose or carry through such a measure ; but they are to 3 wise in their generation to forego the advantage they derive under it ; yet" they have no scruple in ex citing an opposition to Ministers and 'creating confu sion in the country, by supporting everywhere bold faced adventurers and noisy declaimers ready to go the whole hog in the way of encouraging the people in their prejudices and delusions. The Tories act in the spirit of the old adage, " All roads lead to Rom e ." However, the unblushing profligacy and - utter want of 'principle displayed at Warwick, and so many other places, will defeat the object the Tories have in view. The people of England are too honest and simple-minded not to be disgusted by such indifference to principle. An honest opponent of the new Poor law is respectable ; but a Tory who pretends to ap prove of the law, and yet seeks to obtain power by sup por , 4ing those who resort to the most disreputable meads of creating a prejudice against it, cannot obtain the regard of any conscientious inan.—Morn. Chron, We are tired„ofasking when the long-looked for. Re. port of tho Corporation Commissioners, relative to that of the City of London, is to make it appearance, II the Commissioners really. mean, as it would now seem, to Burke the subject altogether, of course they can only do so with the full consent of the Govern ment ;, and if such be really the case, what terms of contempt can be too strong with which to desig nate so scandalous a proceeding ? By way of pa rody on the celebrated maxim, " the greater the truth the greater the we may be allowed to suggest that with our Reform Ministers '' the greater the abuse the fitter for protection." We assume it as a matter of admitted notoriety, unsusceptible of dispute, that the Corporation of London is, and long has been, the acknowledged focus of more actual cor ruption and abuse, than is to be found in all others put together ; and that, undismayed by the approach or expectation of reform, these abuses accumulate in proportion as shame and prudence should check their increase. In proof of this we would only refer to uncontradicted statements from correspondents, which have appeared in this journal, within the last few weeks. We are quite aware that the subject is one of conside rable difficulty ; and that the extent of the remedy is much enhanced by the magnitude of the evil. This would have furnished, and no doubt did furnish, with all reasonable persons, an ample apology for conside rable delay. But patience and forbearance have their bounds, which in this case have been long since passed ; and when that forbearance is to all appearance taken advantage of to blink the question altogether, it is high time that both the Government and the Com missioners were told that the eyes of the country are upon them, and that any wish to escape - from this un pleasant inquiry and its natural consequences will never be permitted. It is too true, indeed, that corporation reform in smaller towns has not hitherto' produced many of the fruits which were promised and expected. Yet it must ill fairness be admitted that in some in stances, as in Leicester and other places, great and palpable abuses have been repressed. In London, abuses of infinitely greater magnitude exist ; and it is not because no measure amounting to actual perfec tion has suggested itself to the Corporation Commis sioners, that therefore these glaring instances of pro fligate corruption should remain unchecked. " Est qu'oddam prodirc tenus, si non datur ultra." Let us at least see some advance made, thoughit be even much less than the occasion requires. —Morn ing Herald. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. REV. MR. THOMAS'S LETTER to.the REV. BE RESFORD JOHNSTON, RECTOR of TULLOW. Rev. Sir.-As I believe you are the clergyman who was selected by the clergy of this dioccAe, to draw up an ad dress.to the Noblemen and Gentlemen, landed proprietors of this, and one or two adjoining counties, on the subject of the education of the lOwer classes of society—that class which I would denominate as the labouring portion of the population, who subsist, who support themselves by daily manual labour—consequently the greater number of hands in a family, when those hands are capable of earning hire, the richer that family will be, the_more of the necessaries of life may be provided, supposing, of course, constant employ ment to be in the country—having expressed sentiments at some meetings different from all the clergymen present, on the subject of the national system, I would now publicly state my reasons to you, and through you, to all my brother 'clergymen for the opinion I hold. In approaching the sub ject, (one not of the lecst importance indeed, for they be nefit the interest of far the largest portion of the commu nity i s directly invoked, and the remaining portion of so ciety indirectly in the measure)—l feel truly sensible that it should be entered upon with a spirit of humility, meek ness, and sincere prayer to Him (from whom alone all good counsels and all just works do proceed) for direction. In that spirit I trust I have been long contemplating the matter, and in the same spirit I would now give my rea sons, endeavouring to avoid multiplication of words and wilfulness in reasoning. Education may be viewed as a moral lever to raise man above the brute creation, to elevate him in the scale of wisdom and goodness ; what ever then tends to do this more or less is decidedly a po sitive good to the human species ; now I do not hesitate to say that the national system promotes this good to a very considerable degree. The great point of difference between the Protestant clergy (not all, for a good many in the dioceses of Itaphoe and Derry, and among the number that formerly high Conservative, the Rev. Charles Boyton, a retired fellow of Trinity College, are favourable to a modification of that system), and the Roman Catholic clergy is, that the former insist that the free use of the whole Bible should be admitted in the schools ; the latter consider that extracts from the Bible are sufficient.. - I can in sincerity say, that I prize, I value the Bible, as much as any of the Protestant clergy. I hold it in that pre-eininence which its name designates it to be the book of books, as that holy volume which contains the surest, the safest guide for man here below, and as that polar star that 'points the way to heaven. Locke in his work on the Human Under standing,. says that few men ever reflect in the whole course of their lives. Without any disparagement, without any imputation on the characters of men, I may be allowed to say that there seems to . have been less reflection, less cool deliberation on the system of the National Education than upon any other public subject, though it has indeed made a noise ; it has agitated the public mind like religion itself ; it has been made the watch-word, the stalking-horse of party, instead of being dispassionately entertained as a question of moral good, or evil. I now come to give my reasons for uniting in a modification of the national system ; first, if a perfect knowledge of the whole Bible be requisite to salvation ; five out of every fifty, indeed L might say, five out of every five hundred Protestants who arc educated at parish schools would not be saved ; few persons arrived at the age of seventeen or eighteen have attained that knowledge—children, or rather youth, leave all schools at about that age. In general they leave the parish schools a year or two sooner, because their parents, who sub sist by labour, require their assistance to procure the necessaries of life. I have seldom known a child, either male or female, continue in attendance at the parish school, after sixteen years of asc ; when any do come after that period of life, their attendance is very irregular, perhaps not more than three o. four days in each month, if sa much ; secondly, the National system does not debar the Protestant clergy from teaching the entire Bible to the children of their flock ; for a day is set apart in each week (and if they wished, I believe they might come oftener) when they may attend to lecture the children, in any ,portion of the Bible which they may think proper ; thirdly, children of every denomination are taught to read • —this is the first grand step towards all knowledge—by it every child may become acquainted with the -whole Bible ; without it, it is impossible to expect that much in formatiOn of any part of it could be acquired ; fourthly, a knowledge of salvation through faith in a crucified Re deemer may be obtained from the extracts used in the Na tional schools ; faith in Christ who died on the Cross, who shed his blood for the remission of sins is inculcated ; re pentance, or a change of heart, incumbent upon us as fallen TV creatures, is incul ca t e d ; obedient°, that uty which rve're e , owe to God, to man, and to oursefves, is i dideated. We find, then, the three great conditions of t ristian, Co- venant implied in the answer to the third' ten of our Church Catechism are set forth in these cx • • 6 ,0; e quote the question and answer ii order to exiiki anent more fully : " Question. What did your Godfathers and Go ltrio01:t" then (that is at your Baptism) do for you "Answer. They (lid promise and vcw three trines in my name ; first that I should renounce the Devil and ail his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh." Hire is the subject matter of our repentance—the Devil—worlla----and flesh. We are to grieve for the power they have over us ; for power they have had, and will have more or less over every child of Adam ; if we grieve for that poorer, we will strive eg tiost it, we will renounce, forsake. it. A change is our affections will take place. We will seek oul. another power under whose influence, to be guided, etnOther domirtiou, under which we are anxious to be ruled. That dominion is the dominion of Christ :—here is the doctrine of repentance, and atom hence follows the second thing promised on the part of our godfathers as stated in the answer-- -" Secondly, that I should believe all the articles of the Christian faith." Belief in,the Lord Jesus as the, author and finisher of our faith—that faith which worketh love, the truth, the ge nuineness of which faith is provexl by the third thing pro, raised as simply stated in the aslswar—" Tnirdly, that I should keep God's holy will and !ternmandments and walk in the same all .the days of my lila?' Such is the faith eif the Gospel, such is the morality e t the Gesp e l—!, ex i t o f them are taught and exhibited io the. extracts ; the features of each are there depicted in living colours ; the language being often the very same as that of • the authorised version of the Scriptures, and when it does serry the souse and sub stance are mostly the same. I shat give two more rea ' sons making six specific arguments. in all, and then sum succinctly the force of the entire ; fift.ii y, suppose :Any good presented to man, does it not become, a decided, positive, moral duty to embrace the meanie that are accesible, though they may not be the very b e ;t that can be con ceived. Education is admitted to be aepositire good for the community, especially an education feu tided upon solid-re ligious principles. The ministers of, the Protestant and Catholic faith both allow the Holy ; 3eriptures to he the foundation of doctrine and morals. Protestant clergy says no evil, no harm can result from Cie free use of those Scriptures, from the entire Bible being , placed in the hands of children of the Protestant Church. The Roman Ca tholic Clergy hold a contrary opinioa ; they say. portions of God's word may be read with adv 3 wage by the youth ful mind ; but it is not prudent to pi a' !c the entire volume of Holy Writ in the possession of t h 3 children of the Ca tholic Church. We conceive that th e unrestricted use of it has been the occasion of grosse error. I -will not here state my own opinions on this pa.etieular, whether it has or has not been the cause of gross c rror. I would only remark, ecclesiastical history is -nc n an old almenack. The question at issue is—shall the community the lower classes of society be depriv , tel of the best edu cation which the government of tl te! country can afford to give —shall that system of educati m be rendered void or in a great measure nugatory—shall not the most be made of it, by the co-operation of all, because one prin ciple supported by the Protestant ,!iiergy is opposed ; a principle, whatever may be their hop, , could never, in the common course of things, be reducciet to practice, viz.— instil the whole Bible in the course, of the first sixteen or seventeen years of life into the ;minds of the people. Es not, then, this a mere bone of csantention—a fighting about straws ? Are they really uti&earians who do not avail themselves • of means of doing ',good, because those means are not' so full and ample, or they conceive they might or ought to be. The gforioust result of the revo lution of 1688 is, thank God, still flourishing ; men can in these islands worship the Almighty as conscience dic tates or approves—this is the liberty•of the Gospel. The Gospel itself—the greatest boon of die even to earth—is not to. be propagated by the sword, by violence—treet is the religion of Mahomet ; if any body of men are un willing to read the Scriptures, it is not thug spirit of that sacred word to use compulsion. The Bible addresses man as a free agent ; and the Blessed Redeemer, when lie sent forth his twelve apostles, as reoerded in the tenth chapter of St. M att h ew ' s G ospe l, to preach, gave them direction that whoever would not receive them, nor hear their words, when they departed from the house or city where they were preaching, they were to shake off the dust of their feet—a phrase, denoting, that the people were to be left to their own option, and to incur. the aw ful consequences of rejecting their preachi ng . P er h aps t h at phrase of shaking off the * dust of their feet, could not be better explained, than by those words : " Populus wit decipi et decipiatur." I do not apply them to any particular nation, but consi der their meaning may, to a certain extent„ be applied to every country. I would thus far apply them, viz., that nei- . ther religion nor education is to be forced upon the minds of the people—they are not to be propagated contrary to the free will of men ; sixthly, I have inspected some of the National Schools, examined the children, and found them possessed of a good elementary kn ow l e d ge o f t h e Scrip tures, a knowledge of those truths, the most necessary for their walk and direction in this life, so that when time has allowed the seeds sown in those schools to grow up and ripen, the State may expect to see a harvest which its sin cere friends would wish to see—a harvest, if not the most fruitful, still a fruitful one ; a rising generation of 'the Roman Catholic people, a rising generation —a branch of Christ's Chureb e possessing a greater knowledge o f th e great tr u th s o f th e G ospe l that any generation of the same branch that hers preceded it. Let us now bridle sum up these six reasons—a knowledge of the entire Bible could trot be obtained in the time usually allowed for thUeduca tion of the lower classes, the labour of the children being so requisite to their own support, and that of their parents,. that they must discontinue their attendance at school. to see and provide the necessaries of life. Tee right of lecturing on every portion of the Bible is permitted by the system to the Protestant Clergy. Children of every denomina ti, n taught to r-ad, which is the high road that leads to all knowledge. The doctrine of the atonement; made for sin, by the sacrifice of Christ, and the morality resulting from that doctrine, is exhibited in the Scripture extracts. It is a decided, positive truth, an axiom in ethics, that good whenever it can be pursued, ought to be pursued, though it cannot •be pursued to the fullest extent ; a practical know ledge in the faith and morality of the Gospel, is evidently disseminating by the system, and may fitirly be expected to lead to desirable results. Such, Sir, are my reasons for being willing to co-operate with the National Beard—and I do believe they arc calculated to have weight, to have in fluence, with candid and unprejudiced minds in fatour of the system, at least, to give it a fair trial for some years. The first clerical meeting which I attended in this diocese, I took the opportunity of bringing forward then a fact mentioned in the 4th ch. of St. John's Gospel, as an argu ment in favour of the National System of Education, in .the conversation of our Lord with the woman of Samaria. We are told there that this woman had a more correct idea of the true character of the Messiah than the Jews ; every one knows that the Jewish nation looked for a Temporal Deliverer in die promised Redeemer, but this woman, belonging to the Samaritan nation, looked for a Prophet in the Messias, who would . reveal trtithe-•" the woman saith unto him, I know that Messias corneae which. is culled Christ ; when he is come he will tell us all things." Now the people to whom this woman belonged, the Samaritan nation, only acknowledged the Pentateuch or five books of Moses as authentic ; it was the only portion of the Scriptures used by them ; and yet we see from ' this part a more correct knowledge of the Saviour was obtained than what the Jews derived from the entire volume of the old testament ; the five hooks of Moses do not comprise a great • deal more than a tenth of the Old Testament ; yet from this limited portion a more just idea of Christ is obtained by - those who read it, than by those who had free access to the entire sacred volume. This should lead the candid to pause and consider how the spirit of God can make even a little • of his own holy word instrumental in bringing men to a saving knowledge of himself ; at the time I refer to, I suggested the propriety of the Protestant Clergy vi saing. the National Schools, and endeavouring 'to co operate with the Board—my suggestion was not very fa vourably received. While officiating in Staplestown parish I visited occasionally the National school of Tinryland. I would have continued visiting it ; but I understood it gave great offence to some of the Protestant parishioners, who, I believe, said they would not go the church if I went there. I was ordered by my Rector not to go any more. I thought it right to obey him, at the same time the order seemed strange to me, coming from him, because I was in- , formed that he signed the memorial to the 13oard, to have the school established. A rumour not long since was cir culated, that I had made an observation in the. Daily Re port Book of the Protestant School of Bellinacarig, preju dicial to the interests of :that school ; I was told iudeed by a subscriber to that school, that I had no right to make those remarks, that the school was a private one ; now, it happens to be in connection with the Kildare-street So ciety ; it is not very long since an invector from that So- Ciety visited the school. It therefore came under the de nomination of a public institution, and as such I was fully authorised to visit and make observations in the Report Book. The following is the observation, let the public; judge whether it can be considered injurious or not—sonie persons'who read it, could not view it in that light : The situation of. the parish of Staplestown with regard to a school, for the scriptural and general instruction of . the Protestant children belonging to it, is much to b e re gretted. There are three schools in the parish, in each of which some of the few Protestant children residing in ,the parish attend—one a female school, with a Protestant mis tress, in connection with the Kildare-street Soeietv, sup ported by the resident ladies of the parish, under the con • 'ASY MODE OF SECURING THE BONUS ON EQUI TABLE POLICIES BY THE 'UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
