TFIE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES. The fidlowing are extracts frout a ve7sensible address lately issued by " The Institution for Bettering. the Condition of the Industrious Classes :" The Institution earnestly recom men d s t h e f ormat i on, i n every parish and town, in the kingd om , o f A Committee for the protecti o n a n d encouragement of the indus!rious classes :—The mernb cra o f this Commit!ce, to consist of enligLten , A and worthy p ersons , o f every rank and station in society; so as to unit e th e exper i ence and co-opera ul of the rich and the poor, a n d t o pro -aAte t t e h r a e t s u t n o i f o n o a .e n , d y c m l a u s t s t:a a l n r d eg so ar s d e s c o ur e e s s a e n b t a i r : 7 l , etr against everyo real in inroad of injustice and violence. The immerse importance of suppressing drunkenness by every probe; means. i'o this end, the co-operation of every Christian, every reasonable person, should be earnestly directed ; and nose can be at a loss for the most pressing reasons, for urging the indispensable necessity' of sobriety to every one who prefers con.fsrt, respectability, and future happine:s, to squalid want. unnatural diseases, ' untimely death, and the more terrible, but scarcely less certain alternatives—domestic di cord and cruelty, the commission of the most revolting orimes, and the utter misery of human And divine retribution. The countless reetords of the shocking effects of drunkenoess, will con vince every one, that is is incompatible with comfort or happiness; and that it justly merits the placo which the Gospel assigns to it amongst the moat flagrant crimes. In a pecuniary point of view, it causes such waste as to render even liberal wages nttetly insufficient for mere pre- sent comfort ; ansl, fu l terity is left exposed to every vicissi tude of misery. Pril?. Committees, or sections of theos, might constantly form and casry into effect, plans fisr augmenting the wages of goad workmen, or rendering them more adequate to their expenses, and for procuring employment for workmen of good character; end, with reference to the great in. terests at issue, to testeh over the progress of manufac tures, &c., nod prevent the loss of vast markets from illicit pecotices and deteriorated articles ; and also to use every exertion to render war impossible, and our friendly rela tions with Foreign States advantageous to all parties. Other plans for leading every family and individual to make some provision for future contingencies, old age, &c., which should be encouraged by every proper means. Plans to turn these savings to advantage, so as to improve the general circumstances of the owners ; plans of small loans for tools, or email undertakings, which have been successfully adopted end managed by the ladies of one of our noble fingien, in the north of Elagland ;--plans for ' asseiing supplies of good food et the fair market price, so as to ensble the poor today out their money as advan tageously as the wore ane:nithy classes; and for hav ing duties regulated so as to render them more pro table and los burdensome. The Corn-law question night be so treated in these Cermeittees as to prevent in justice to any party ; and the lastitution suggests the propriety of examining whether justice and good policy do not recommend a reduction of the corn duty at least commensurate with the aumeatation of our population since Taking that augmentation at about per cent, per annuni, or perhaps 20 par cent, in all, the pro portionate reducdon of duty on Gt.l. 4 s. would be about Its. 5d., leaving the duty p e n that price at l2s. 3d. per quarter, and the °thee :rotes in proportion. It seems to be admitted. ',loot our average crops have been insufficient for cur pnpulatio.r ; and the fact, and the excessive price of butcher,' meat, sail to be caused by the want of pas ture, seem to justify a reduction of duty, at 'least propors tioria'se to the annual inesearts of population ; and, may serve as the bass's of a further yearly reductice, so as to meet contending views of justice, and finally to relieve the statf of lite from duty, without any violent perturbation. Such views may deserve the sttent;.on of landlords, as serious fluctuations in the, value and security of property, public revenue, &:e, rosy occur, should excessive duties on corn still e.epase the country to sudden and exhausting dre.ins of gold, which might at least be mitigated, if nut wholly avoided, by the facilities which would result from a regular and gradual itres,mrtstion. It is grievous to reflect on the hard trials vtleish now press upon the less fortunate workmen, tstnnias of whom scarcely gain 4-5 of the rum rcp l uired to enable them to exist, without injury to their health. This most painful fact has been fully proved by recent investigation; ; and the institution calls upon all par ties to adopt some means of reducing the burdens of the worthy and industrious poor. By a general and patient effort, the relief granted by the Poor-laws might be ren dered far more v fileacious. The honest and industrious should he distinguished from the undeserving applicants, and be so tenderly dealt with 89 to soothe their feelings in distress, and encourage their worthy efforts to live by their own industry. Our Jewish congregations adopt many kind and successful regulations, tending not only to reli'eve• present want, but to re-establish their unfortunate bee. thren, and thus stop the progress of pauperism. Should such an example be lost on Christians? Our care fps ; the welt tre of such classes will lead to the discouragement of itinerant beggars, This Institution has been informed by an excellent Nlagistrate, that, in his own '3 ~listrict, the cou ld3,4:ms collected by such individuals are found cetual in j amount to the whole poors'-rate thou' the great extra !of the indigent populatioss est , , less tnsn .niees that rate not ss. 4d. in the pound..; nt n- . nearly the full rents of about 10,000 houses. ;4.4 -irunisr pressure, and still worse results, of stle..", cat I b"- 3 ,b' u.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ • Sra,—ln the leading article of your journal, nearly a 'month ago, you stated that the evil inflicted on society by the bread-tax, end its injustice, were such that it ought to be resisted, and you seemed to regret that no way pre sented itself by which it could be resisted, unless by the wealthy merchants and shipowners. At the very time when the opinion was given by you there issued from the press, in the West Riding of York shire, a pamphlet on the subject called " Daily Bread, or Taxation without Representation Resisted, being a plan for the Abolition of the Bread.tax," by one of the million,* showing c'iearly the way by which a successful resistance might be made b) the people themselves. In the populous districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire the pampihlet is obtaining a very extensive circulation, and creating a deep interest, and meamres are in the course of progress r putting the plan in practice. Its legal ity is unquestionable—this is admitted on all hands. The Anti-Corn-law Circular has said of it, " The Man. is at once bold, startling, yet perfectly legal." Even the Morning Chronicle has admitted, " For aught it spy ears the process would be perfectly legal." Again it sa' Whatever the wisdom, justice, or expediency of any one step of the process each is yet free from the cbr .rge of unlawfulness. The proposition is legal, and it is entertained." The Morning Chronicle does more than :mit the legality of the plan, for it afterwards says, Analogous experiments have been tr:ed on former oc rsions . hi story . . . . They were scouted with great super linusness, but they did the work."f I ave the means of furnishing you with a copy of a letter or the subject from the author of " Daily Bread" to a mr maser of the League, the whole or part of which appears to me soited for publication in The Sun.

Amongst the Church. rate defaulters lately summoned before a Bench of Magistrates at Hackney, was George Offor, Esq., a Ma.. Ostrate in the Tower Hamlets, who, though he declined to deny • the legality of the rate, refused to pay the demand made u p, in him and his tenants, on the ground that he did not att, t o t d the parish church, and that those who did were wealth: r e nough to pay for themselves.

The Kent Tories, some two years ago, got up an affair which they miscalled a "grand banquet in honour of the Duke of Wellington," and which they further stated to be "given" by the Cinque Ports to their illus trious Warden. The matter was a gross imposition upon public credulity, for the purpose of oleaining a pal. try party advantage at the public expense. It failed of its object; it not only failed as a party demonstration, but was soon known to have involved its projectors in comi del able loss. This was mortifying— . -- Loss of fume, Although it grieved them sore, Yet loss of pelf, full well I ween, • Has gi ieved them ten times more." The tradesmen who supplied the delicious viand; and costly wines, and appropriate decorations of the pavilion, have been anxiously concerned to obtain payment of their demands, large balances of which re main unliquidated. Last week the clerk to the Town- Council of one of the Cinque Ports informed the assem• bled functionaries at their meeting, that be had been served with a writ of summons for a considerable sum claimed as their quota of deficiency due for the said Wellington banquet. The functionaries looked dis mayed. They had no funds at their disposal for such purposes ; and seemed to express by their rueful coun tenances the regret they felt that so glorious a feast should produce so sorrowful an after-reckoning. We un derstand that the writ served is the commencement of pro ceedit gs which are to be followed by actions against all those of the Cinque Ports which concurred in the project, and sent deputies to the banquet, if upon the forthcoming trial the plaintiff succeeds in fixing the port selected for the experiment. _ . . . In the meantime, is fair to ask ci bother the entertain ment thus prepared fur the Duke of Wellington was an honour er an insult ? Would the Duke have condescended to grace the scene with his presence, or have lent Dais name to give eclat to the "grand banquet," could he have anticipated thlt the tradesmen who supplied the good things for the occasion would have been bilked of their claims by those who invited him to partake of their hospi tality ?—Evening Paper. DES CARTES.—The philosophical system of Rene des Cartes (born 1596), a native of Fiance, perhaps the most original thinker that country has produced. Dee Cartes was the contemporary of Bacon, and exercised an equally powerful influence, though in a mann e r widely different, on the pr o g res s of philosophy in Europe. Both equally undertook the tail( of demolishing the old scholastic system, and of substituting in its pace a more comprehensive method and a more living spirit of philosophising. But what Bacon strove to accom plish by calling men's attention to experiment and ob servation of natur,-, Des Cartes proposed to attain by the search for a first and self-evident ground of all knowledge. This he finds in the art of conscious ness, involving necessarily the idea of self or mind. (Cogito ergo sum.) Consciousness is the act of thought, constitutes the essence of the soul, and is that which distinguishes it from matter. Tue idea or objects of conseiciumess are of three kinds—acquire.!, compounded, and innate. Of the last sort is the idea of God, or the absolute being, which, as being tl,e ground of all reality, is itself its own demonstration. God, the au. thor of the universe, upholds it in its source by his perpe tual co-operation, or, in Cartesian language, assistance. All physical phenomena Des Cartes endeavoured to ac count for by his celebrated vortices motions excited God, the source of all motion. This singular mixture of philosophical depth and ext ravagant h ypothes i s t h at pre vails in the writings of this philosopher obtained for him, as might have been expected, a large number of warm ad lo.rents, and of equally vio!ent opponents. Among the f„rmer may be enumerated the celebrated Pascal, Mal , .- branche, and Spinoza. The two latter de.i itcd indeed in many important points from the view s o f D es Cartes; but the main features of his philosophy arc preserved alike in the religious mysticism of the ore and the systematic pantheism of the other.—Longman's Dictionary of Sci ence, Literature, and Art—an excell.nt publication, ap pearing periodically. We are happy to announce the convalescence of the Earl of Malxnesbury. GENERAL ESPARTERO. MADRID, APRIL 8, 1841. The pious and patriotic Duke of Victory has just termi nated his devotions at the different churches from his own head-quarters at the extreati'v of the Calle Alcala, ti the termination of the Calle Nleyor, in the very neighbourhood of the Royal Palace. The military pilgrim was accom panic?, or r.ither followed (for he walked alone at the head of his attendants), in his penitential promenade by the most numerous and gauddy.equippcd stag that ever fol le:wed at the heels of a Gere , al.iii-Chief ; presenting in their rersonalappearar.c:! a strange contrast to no humility of spirit and self-denial which might characterise those who celebrate the return of this holy season. As for the hero of Bergara himself, he was arrayed Li all the gor geousness of military finery. Nothing was forgotten or neglected which could serve to mark him out particularly from the crowd of the obsequious attendants that followed him. Embroidery of the richest and most massive kind, stars and orders of the moil dazzling brilliancy, scarfs and ribbons of every hue and colour, were lavished with prcfu sion over etc person and uniform of this wonderfully fortu nate and very vain man, _ As he went along he entered every church on his way, and remained a few minutes in each, kneeling before the altar ; and having completed his hasty devotions, proceeded with the same ceremony, still on foot, to the next. Any notice of this pilgrimage of Esparterci would scarcely possess public interest, were it not for the (to me convincing) proof of the truth of the observations which I have made of the state of public feeling as regards him in most of the principal towns, both in the Basque Pro. vinces, and in Castile, even to this the capital of the Spanish monarchy. Whatever doubts I may, in the anxiety to form a correct judgment have entertained, as to the exact nature of my views, were almost totally dispelled by the display of this evening. You are, perhaps, aware that the portion of this city which was chosen by Espartero for the scene of his devotional exhibition traverses the centre of Madrid, and i ncludes in its iahabit s ants and its frequenters, not only every class of politicians, but every grade cf society which can be found here. In that part of the A'calst and the Plaza de les Cetus which approaches the Prado, may be found the mansions of some of the highest of the Spanish nobility; the vicinity of the Palace at the other and opposite end is not less important, nor, generally speaking, less aristocratic, whilst the space which lies between these extreme points is occupied by those classes, of various eallings and different avocations, whip's crowd the most populous thoroughfares in a large city, and which arc diversidad at every step until they became blended ieto ono heteroaeneoue mess in that greet central spot, around which consistently congregate the aristocrat . .and' the republican, the merchant and the water-carrier, the capitalist and tl.e mendicant, the military man and the civilian, the ens plead.° and thospreteedienhe honest man erid the rope, the moderado and ekaltaile, the Gerlist end the republican, the dupe and the awiedier,.he who is occupied, and he who starves on io ielleriesse-I mean the Puerta del Sol. The part of the city thils s.eteetel centd net haste been better chosen to test the present popularity of the dictator of Spain. It presented the best ordeal to try the nature of hie peiltieal repetatlen, I followed this man from church to church,'as he p'roceeiled on his way, and 1 marked his eye as it sought, with a sort of convulsive eagerness which the anticipation of success imparts, the salutations end welcome of the crowd, such as it wes, that soreoended and followed him ; and li se* it droop id disappointment at the absence of any one of those do monstrations of unthinking and hollow popular clamour which, for a spites:, hail the presence of a mob favourite ; and I marked his hand stilt fell by iris side after hayirig hicoes vainly raised to return the courtesy which he expected, but whieh he did not receive. Not a single " Viva" was raised even e.a heyeased the Custom-house or the Post office, , ./ • whose b4!.l,e,rs on ercseded the windewa and gates es he passed. Out of wary JCQ persona that neeiseded tee streets ; not more than five appeared to accord him even the com mon civility which may be supposed to be due to his mili tary as welt as civil rank. The guard at the two establish ments I have mentioned turned out, as a matter of course, to preseni erres to tie r e Captain-General of the Spanish armies; but it appeared to be done coldly, ised ie a Mere matter of ceremonious etiquette, and not a spark of enthusiasm was lighted up in the countenance of the Netienal Guards, those terrible urbanos, formidable when there is no enemy to co:steed with, as the former god of their idolatry went on his pilirirnsie. A &Twit of shoat ado pesiona was assembled at his door previously to his leaving his quarters; it was composed of the very lowest classes, and of boys who were attracted by the splendour of the uni foruss wed the plumes; but even amongst those who aro in every counti'Y tli tiros;, saisceptible of being.. imposed on by the porep of military disp'ay, he was received, not onle without enthusiasm, bat evert without the slightest demonstration of respect. The crowds c >anted in the dffereat places through which lie passed were not caused by his appearance, hot hy tole ants of devotion which are performed during this season, and which vender it necessary to visit every church in Madrid. As Espartero ascended the steps of the second church in the Callc Alcala, so great was the crowd coming out and going in, that he was compelled to remain outside a con siderable time, end was at length obliged to go away without having effected an eittrapee. Po ept snpposo that the crowd retired or yielded to let hicapess s he 'and his staff were elbowed and pushed about as if A'€y were not dressed in splendid uniform , or as if he had'never in doped Meroto to become a traitor. His annoyance at this disrespect was v;siblp, and it vya!, ,aid that, its a moment of impatience, he was determined to return to his quarters without proceeding farther. In this, however, he was overruled. Do you suppose that his presence produced any sensa tion amongst the scum of Madrid society, which haunt, like untroubled spirits, the Puerta del Sol ? Quite the contrary ; not a man, ragged and wretched though his appearance may have been, ever stirred from the spot he was standing in, to make way for the hero of Bcr gara. A rather ominous occurrence was taking place even at the moment the Duke of Victory was {.rising that universal resting-place of idlers and pickpockets. The workmen had, an hour or two previously, commenced their labours, in taking down the pillar, or column, or monu ment, formed of canvass and sticks, which had been constructed is the centre of the Puerta del Sol, to cele brate his arrival in Madrid, and which for some time past has manifested symptoms of falling. The un solid and very fragile structure has suffered severely ; the canvass, which was coloured so as to present an imitation of granite, has been long turn and shattered in various parts, and exhibits to the lazy and laughing crowds which throng around its base the hollowness and weakness of the deception ; and the linen robe which cos ere the person of the figure of Fame, which surmounts it, has been rent, before and behind, and has for sonae time afforded material for the exercise of the wit and causticity of the unwashed politicians of the ruerta del Sol. Might not this monument present a not inapt illustra . ion of the characer and reputroion of this ne‘v crnamont to the an cient and honourable Order of the Bath ? In the various towns through which I have lately passed, and in which I have sojourned for a spac.a, more or less., during a recent journey from San Sebastian to Madrid, I was struck by the almost universal feeling of disresi'eet with which Espartero's name was generally spoken by persons of almost every class, inoluding many mili.ary men of high rank. I have witnessed his various efforts here, not only this day, but on many previous cccasions, to catch, or to preserve, his popularity, and I have also witnessed his ill success and his consequent disappoint ment; and I am convinced of the fact that no man was ever in a more difficult position than Espartero is at this moment. 1-1:s reviews to celebrate the anniversary of his victories (?) in imitation of Napoleon —his addresses to the troops—his walking simply arrayed, or gorgeously decorated, with his wife, amongst the crowds that throng the Prado, appe rently unpretending, and on foot like the rest, seem all unavailing. Discontent and murmurs arc heard every where; and in these public displays of pretended humility, scarcely a hat is raised to salute him, and certainly not a voice is heard to give him welcome. DEATH FROM CARBONIC ACID. The daily journals have already made the public aware of the deplorable event at the School of Phar macy is Paris, which cost M. limy his life. He was preparing sonic carbonic acid in its liquid form, in Thilorsen's apparatus, which is composed of two cylin drical reservoirs, of about the thickness of two centi metres, with as interior diameter of from eight to ten centimetres. Each of those cylinders had an interior space of about four litres. The carbonic acid was produced by the action of sulphuric acid on the bicarbonate of soda, which were introdeced simultaneously into one of the cylinders, A communi cation was then established between this fi rs t cy li n d er and the other, and the carbonic acid p asse d i nto t h e second cylinder by distillation. In th e first cylinder remained a residue, consisting of sulphate of soda, which was taken out to replace it by a new supp!y, in order to obtain a determinate quantity o f th e li qu id carbonic acid ; a quantity: which, as we have seen, may be raised to four litres. The first cylinder is supported on two trunnions, which keep it in equilibrium, and allow an extensive degree of oscillation. It was at the moment when M. Hervy was balancing the cylinder on the trunnions, to Effect the mixture of the acid with the soda, that the explosion took place. At this moment there vas no one near except M. Hervy and a friend who was assisting hi m . Th e l a tt e r was thrown down by the explosio n , b ut was not struc k by any fragment of the machinery. Not so M. Harry. The apparatus vas on the floor of the room, and the whole effcct of the explosion was directed against his legs, which were cruelly mutilatefl, so as from the commencement to hold out little chance of saving his Amputation of one of the limbs was performed next day, and in three days more this unfortunate vic tim to science had ceased to exist. The explosion was accompanied by a frightful noise, and consider Ale injury to the apartment. It is almost unnecessary to add, that this experiment will not again be attempted in connection with the public lectures. — Journal de Fharnnacie. CITY OF LONDON NATIONAL SCHOOLS.

LADVERTISEMEN r. I The attention of our readers is dir .leted to the following communication addressed to Meesrs. Rowrand and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London take the liberty of addressing you a few lines. Some years sine e a very intimate friend of mine had a serious fit of illne 13, and when she began to recover, her hair which was bee a tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the hew 1. After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit, your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbin g it in daily, using two bottles in four weeks, at the end which time her hair came again ; and in a short time br came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost only fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last s e ter her, and though most of her family were very grey, h e had not one grey hair, which she entirely attributed to the constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended t t to me . In consequence of bead-aches and trials of mind, my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of th e Oil, and am happy to say it has quite redeemed re .y hair. You are at liberty to publish this letter if you pie' a e ,, w i t h my initials only, and any one may have my nam c and ad • dress, by going to your house. I am, Sir, yo'.ir obedient servant. F. H. H,—Rowland' s M acassar Oil t r irevents hair from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its original colour frees from scurf and daneeiff ; and makes it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for '' Rowland's Ma cassar Oil." The lowest price ie 33. 6d.—the next price is 75.-10 s. 6d. and 21s. per bottle. At Queen -square police-Alec, yesterday, Mr. Tracey, tie Governor of Westminster Bridewell, brought the girl who had been committed, under the name of " George White," before Mr. Burrell, the sitting Magis. trate, nod stated that since the disclosures had appeared in the papers she had threatened to destroy herself on being liberated. He had repeatedly questiened her on the sui;- ject, and that morning, she had declared that the moment she could get out she would throw herself into the river. The Magistrate asked if she intended to destroy herself., and, after some hesitation, she said she did. She refusr, c i to gise her name or any information about her relatives, and, as she could not give sureties for her good behavip tr , she was ordered back to prison. CIVIL CONTINGENCIES. The following are some of the items in the amount of the sum expended under the head of " Civil Contingen cies," in the year 1840 (omitting pence and shillings):— Extraordinary disbursements of Ministers at Foreign Courts £16,579 On account of special missions Rewards for the apprehension of J. Frost, Z. Williams, W. Jones, and others 650 Expenses is consequences -of the riots at Newport 436 To the Marshal of the Queen's Bench, to mako good deficiency of fees Rewards offered by Government for plans to carry into effect the penny postage Salaries and expenses of the office for carrying into effect the regulations Expenses incurred in the maintenance and edu cation, &c., of the nephew of the King of the Ashantees Letters patent for appointing the Right Hon C. P. Thomson, Governor, &c., of her Ma jesty's Provinces in North America To the bell-ringers of Christ Church, Dublin, for ringing on the day of her Majesty's marriage Fer hoisting the Royal Standard on the Castle Tower, Dublin To the Earl of Malmesbury, as Governor of the Isle of Wight On account of maintenance and proceedings in the case of the Cana/ian prisoners The total expenditure for the United Kingdom for the year 1840 115,010 130,000 Estimated expenditure for 1841 2,702 THE CO RN-LA WS. 400 343 312 TUFORTATION OF CANADIAN FLOUR AND WHEAT. We are informed by gentlemen connected with the trade of Canada, that there is likely this year to be a very great increase in the importation of wheat and flour from the united province of Canada, and that there is reason to expect that this inereese will be rapid and progressive in succeeding years, and ulti mately be carried to such an extent as materially to affect the price of bread in this country. Last year the importation of flour and wheat - from Canada amounted to 298,701 barrels, and 141,9:31 minots of wheat, each minot being cquai to three bushels, and this year it is expected that there will be an importation of about 700,000 barrels of floor, and of wheat in the same proportion. Had it not been for the disastrous effects produced on agriculture and industry gene ra:ly by the two recent rebellions, a much larger quantity of wheat would have been produced in Ca nada, rind sent to this country during the last threa years than has been received, but now that confidence is thoroughi.y restored, and that the constitution of the provin c e has bee❑ placed on a firm and lasting basis, agaieuiture has again begun to flourish, and fresh suppli•as of labourers to pour into the province. Ef forts such as never were made before, are now making to increase the amount of emigration from this country to Canada, partly from political and partly from eco nomical motives, aad every increase of this kind will add to the productive powers of the province. When it is considered that there are more than sixty milliens of acres of land capable of cultivation in Canada, and that the population is increasing at such a rate as to more than double itself every twenty years, it is not improbable that this colony may, in the course of years, become the gra nary of the British empire. Thi:e however, is not the only source of supply, for wheat grown either on the American or Canadian side of the St. Lawrence may be imported into this country provided it has been ground into flour in the province of Canada. The ef fect of this permission has already been to produce a very large importation of American wheat into Canada, so much re that not less thou thirty thousand tons were received in the single pert of Kingston, the new capital of Canada, during ti:e last year. The duty on wheat imported into this country from Canada and other British possessions in North Ame rica, is five shillings a quarter when the avera.;e price of wheat in this country is less then sixty-seven shillings a quarter, and GI. a quarter when it is abo;c that price. The duty on flour is in the same proportion. These duties pretent no obstacle to the importation of any quantity which the Canadians can spare for export. --Liverpool Times. Dit. HOOK AND MOTIIELt CHURCH. We chanced the other day to take up the speech which, our Thlverend Bishop having prevented the Rev. Dr. from talking, he has now printed. And from it we can learn that both Dr. Hook and his poor " old Mother," ara at present in a very bad way. If a man, says the worthy Dr., thinks for himself, he runs a great risk of embracing the soul-destroying, heresy of Socianism ; but if, instead, he let others think for him, ha runs equal danger of worshipping tho scarlet —! The only chance, he tells us, of and one's salvation, is, for Idea first to march straight away from Rome along the road of individual judgment to wards Socinianism, till he conies to the turning to the implicit authority of the Church of England. There he is to diverge, and twisting nearly quite round, pro ceed in the opposite direction (i.e., towards Rome again), till he comes to the top of the cul de sac (Anglice, blind lane), and there—squat. Dwindled, as, the Dr. says, Socinianism is now-a days, we fear that, if his account be correct, his poor " old Mother" will soon be quite childless. Blest us we had forgotten the worthy Dr. would still be left. How she will doat on her only remaining child, born, too, in her old age ! The Apostolic Dr. says that the Church is now so divided into parties, that every one must necessarily be come a party man. If our memory does not fail us, one the e the n earliest ca ir contrary of i g h predecesso rs , i n a s i m ilar case, held doctrine, exclaiming, " Is Christ divided ?" ilittle , nt Perhaps, te t r o,hteon, the D r . may b e wrong in the other and Christianily nt least, whatever Dr.'s poor old mother, may be the f a t e o f t h e . (God bless her s ou l!) i s not, j ust at pres ent at least, going to the dogs. We may observe, by the bye, that though the Ro monists and Socinians will doubtless forthwith send the worthy Dr. votes or thanks for his candid admis sion, that to embrace their respective doctrines is the legitimate result of following one or other of the two alternative principles of theological dogmatics ; a n d that his own views can only be reached by so tortuous a a urse, that few are to be found with spines of sufil cien flexibility to be able to thread it ; yet, we suspect , that his own tribe will not very readily forgive him the indiscretion, even on the doubtless veracious plea, that he was led into it, through the (though weak yet) zeal ous and truly amiable hope to frighten into the fold a few of the more timid sheep.—Leeds Times. THOMAS HOBBES, OF MALMES. UNIVERSITIES. It is manifest people de - t O h N at the TEl EUNi‘E instruction r of eadeth wholly on t h e right of teaching of the youth e you i n the Universities. B ut arc not (may the Universities of England Learned sonic mensay BRIr enough alrea d y to do that ? or is it you win undertake to teach the Universities ? Hard questions. Yet to the first, I doubt not to answer ; that till towards the cad of Henry VIII. the power of the Pope was always upheld against the power of the Commonwealth, principally by the Universities ; mid that the doctrines maintained hi so many preachers against the Sovereign power of the l K —ng, and by so Many lawyers and others that Lath their education there, is a sufficient argument that though the Universities were not the authors of those false dectrincr, yet they know not how to plant the true. For in much c ontradiction of opinion it is most certain th„t they have not been sufficiently instructed ; and it is no wonder if they yet retain a relish of the subtle liquor, wherewith they were first seasoned, against the civil authority. But to the latter questicn it is not fit nor needful for n:e to say aye or no ; for any urn that sees what I am doing may easily perceive trlat I think.—P. IEO ; 1651.
