RIOTS AT TOULOUSE. .14. The following is the Ministerial account published by the _roach Government paper, t h e M essager: — ~;„ „h is sedition, the avowed object of which at the beginning a S.to oppose the e xec u tion of a measure perfectly legal, was ,wleirerards directed against individuals, and with a violence 4 — e ll , appsaring for some ilas to subse, at length assumed most serious character. The y Prefect an id d Procureur-General c ame marked objects of the riot. The troops have constantly irk aev_i ‘ n the roost admirable forbearance.

While the riot on the 12th was going on, the accompanied by officer: of the Na went to the Prefect, requested him to call und to Nationals Guard. The Prefect thought himself give his consent. At nightfall the National Guard '‘. t „. l : i e m_ wed on the place du Capitole, occupied that post, and tip h n e ed the troops of the line in protecting the Prefecture. rioters then demanded the release of the prisoners who f ad „ bee n arrested on the preceding days. The detachment National Guard stationed at the prison was forced, the ° °_,rwas attempted to be broken open, and one of the panels "IQ given way, when the provisional Mayor promised to ' P e'ease the prisoners on the following day under bail. On t he 13th, asse mblages more threatening than before invaded • t he streets at an early hour. Fresh barricades were raised, and the telegraphs of Toulouse and Blagnac were pulled th . d° ". Then it was that the Prefect decided upo n leavin g t h he sewn, and took his departure in a carriage prepared for '.. Il e by til t provisional municipality. On the same day a band rioters twice forced their way into the house of the Pro- P.: m. re du Ir. it whom they sought, with the intention of mur him, but who, both times, happened to be from hoMe.

CHERIBON, Vases 22.—According to accounts from Pa dang, in Sumatra, we have had another occasion within these few weeks to regret the perfidy of one of tilts native Princes, who, after having sided with us for 18 years, has thrown off the mask, and placed himself at the head of a number of easily excited inhabitants of the districts of Batipo, &c. On the 22d of February the forts of Pandangpanjong de Kock Pandang ribo, Van der Capellen, Goejoemalantong, and some other small forts, were attacked by the rebels, but the garrisons, though not numerous, defended themselves with great vigour ; only the last was evacuated by the small garrison, which with drew unperceived into the neighbouring woods, where it was in great distress, but was soon relieved and furnished with pro visions by our troops. On the approach of the rebels a ser geant of the name of Schnider, who was wounded, set fire to the powder magazine, thus dying a glorious death . It is not known how many of the rebels perished. The Regent of Batipo, who had fled, has surrendered to our troops. The mlitia of Padang being summoned to arms, and sonic rein forcements being landed from the ships in the harbour, the brave Colonel :Michael proceeded %sills all the force that could be spared to the revolted districts, and after some skirmishes the rebels were speedily defeated and dispersed. Tranquillity may be considered as restored in Sumatra. It is said that 400 or 500 men are gore from Java to Pa dang ; it is also said that the garrison of the forts were in general too small. MAR? LEB ONE ELECTION. On Friday evening last that old and excellent Reform e , Major Revell, gave a splendid entertainment to the two Mem bers, and the elite of the Liberal interest of that wealthy and populous borough. Among the company present we observed Colonel Leicester, Professor Key, Messrs. Ivimey, Drake, Bacon, Dyke, Charnock, Stockton, Potter, Willson, and many other highly respectable and influential gentlemen connected with the borough. The dinner and wines were of the choicest description, and did great ei edit on the taste and liberality of the worthy host. On the cloth being removed, Major Revell, who at " three score years and ten " possesses the fire of youth and the energy of manhood, addressed his guests in a strain of manly and vigorous eloquence, of which the following is but a faint outline :—" Friends and brother Re formers" (said the Gallant Major) " this is one of the proudest days of my long life, for I have lived upwards of seventy years, born in an out-and-out Tory family, brought up with Church and State passive obedience, and non-resist ance ever ringing in my ears, I bid fair to become as furious and bigoted a Tory as ever galloped upon an unarmed and de fenceless mob, or shouted with the zealot Gordon " No Po pery !" But, gentlemen, my father, like myself, had a library, and I read the works of Bacon, Locke, Milton, Russell, and others, and I soon became embued with an almost holy enthu siasm for that cause for which Hampden died in the field, and Sidney on the scaffold.—(Laud cheers.) At that time, gen tlemen, to be even a Whig, was unfashionable, but to be a Radical Reformer—to fearlessly express our opi nions, as we stay now—(Loud cheers)—was to become a marked man ; many and many a tough fight have I had with that worthy old gentleman (pointing to his father's portrait); he fancied the scaffold, Botany Bay, or the dungeon, must be the end of my foolish conduct. But, gentlemen, the seeds of liberty were sown, and had taken deep root, and I had no more power to cheek their growth, even within my own bosom, than Canute had to control the ocean ; on, and on, the tide of Reform rolled, with a torrent irresistible; not the banishing of some of the brightest patriots—not the remorseless butchery of industrious citizens, peaceably assembled to petition for their rights—not the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act—not all the gagging Bills of Castlereagh, nor the base system of espion age of Sidmeuth, could stop its progress for a moment. All this time, too, we were opposed by the Tory aristocracy—those mushroom Peers of yesterday—those servile tools of a mentally afflicted monarch • for never let us forget that the ancient nobility of England—men who add grace and dignity to the peerage, have ever been the people's friends. Witness the Norfolks, the Devonshires, the Somersets, the Bedfords, the Fitzwilliams, and many others I might name.—(Loud cheers. ) Well, gentlemen, the Whigs wished to assist the people, but George the Third hated them ; George the Fourth, false to all his early friends and principles, detested them; William the Fourth took them, not out of any love for them or their prin ciples, but as men take physic—the country was sick, and the King had to swallow the Russell purge.—(Cheers and laughter.) And row, gentlemen, this brings me to the imme diate object of my rising—our young and lovely Queen.— ( Immense cheering.) Born when the sun of liberty was rising on the country—bred with the utmost care by a mother--( Ve • hement cheering)—the bare mention of whose name, I per ceive, is sufficient to elicit your warmest approbation, and not without cause, for to that lady England owes an everlasting debt of gratitude for the education of her Royal daughter —the brightest gem that ever graced tile Imperial Crown of England. The Queen has nobly done her duty to her people, will the People do theirs ? You have Would that every place had answered the Queen's appeal as you have done. I, Gentlemen, am getting somewhat old. Time has laid his rude hand upon me, and cramped my energies ; but though I envied the friends aronnd me their activity, yet my heart was just as warm as theirs could be; and in inviting you here this evening, to meet your worthy Representatives, and to honour the twist I am about to propose, have I sought out the high and wealthy only? No, Gentlemen. I see be fore me the blood, the bones, the thews, the sinews of the Re formers of Niarylebone. And now, Gentlemen, you will par don my having detained you. I see the impatience you display at being kept so long from the toast." A bumper to the Queen, with nine times nine and one cheer more, was then given, after which " God save the Queen" was sung by the whole of the company upstanding. The CHAIRMAN, after recapitulating all the public acts of Sir It Hall and Sir Charles Napier, concluded by proposing " The health of our Representatives."—(A pplause.) Sir B. HALL and Sir C. NAPIER returned thanks. Professor KEY proposed " Mr. Dyke and the glorious majo rity of electors favourable to Reform principles in the south, where the Tories most miserably overrated their strength." Mr. DYKE, in returning thanks, observed that the vast ma jority in his district (notwithstanding the proud boasting of a certain Tory lawyer) arose, not from 2ny superiority of our Committee, but from the e7.-.cellent materials we had to work upon. How far " the south was safe for the Tories" let the poll-books testify. Why, we polled more than two to one -635 against 311 !--(Applause)—aid more than that, I had many more in reserve, who sa d we will wait at home till be tween three and four o'clock, ready for you ; but, for God's sake, if you can do without us, do ; and I am most happy to add, that throughout the borough we had a reserve of upward of three hundred and fifty votes ! all good men and true would have increased our majority, and have poltd" far the Reformers more than 5,000.—( Cheers.) The company, delighted u ith the int•!:jigence and hospita 7,eparate till a late hour. ity of their venerable host, did not SCOTLAND. RUMOURED CHANGES—COURT OF SESSION. As it can now no longer be disputed that the present Minis. try will speedily resign, speculation is anxiously afloat as to the various official changes consequent on that event. No doubt seems to exist that the present venerable Lord President, who has now faithfully discharged his judicial duties for nearly thirty eight years, will retire, and be succeeded by the Lord Justice Clerk, who has held this office for thirty years. The Dean of Faculty will succeed the Lord Justice Clerk, leaving, of course, the Chair of the Faculty vacant. Mr. Duncan M'Neill, who was Solicitor-General during the short Administration of Sir R. Peel, in 1834-5, is mentioned as the future Lord Advocate. Mr. Home Drummond, Advocate, and M.P. for Perthshire, is also talked of as Lord Advocate, but we do not attach much weight to the last report—first, because Sir. Home Drummond has long since ceased to have any real connexion with the bar, or with legal practice, of which, by the way, he never had much—and second, because Mr. Duncan M'Neill is by far the more able man of the two, and besides enjoys the reputation of an eminent lawyer in first-rate practice. At all events, it is not even hinted that Sir William Rae will be again called upon, at this adianeed period of life, to fill this arduous and resporsible office. The Right Hon. Baronet will be otherwise provided for by his party—probably a Clerkship of Session, or some similar comfortable retirement with large pay and little duty. Then as to the Solicitor-Generalship, it is generally assigned to Mr. Patrick Robertson, of whom we may say, that his party owes snore to him than he does to them. The high status of Mr. Robertson at the bar, together with his legal and oratorical powers, well entitle him to this important office. Among the other Tory lawyers who are on the high way to what we may term the first-class pi omotion, are Mr. Alexander Wood, Sheriff of Kirkcudbright.—Air. Adam Ander son, Sheriff of Perthshire—and Mr. R. Whigham. A report was also prevalent last week that Lord Jeffrey was about to re sign, owing to the state of his health, and that the present Lord Advocate 'was consequently to be elevated to the Bench. We believe that this report is without foundation. Lord Jeffrey, it is true, has not been in Court for the last few days, and will not be out during the few days of the session that have yet to run. But we are told his health is im. proving, and therefore all fondly hope that this eminent Judge will be able to resume his duties at the commencement of the winter session. However, the above rumour, as also another to the effect that the Lord Advocate would retire from the re presentation of Leith on the resignation of the Whig govern ment, have occasioned some little movement anise.; his consti tuency. We do not know what are the intentions of his Lord ship, but should he in the sequel res;: gx his seat, we would deem two events highly prohab.o 1-Ist, That M:. R. Steuart would be selected by the Le'4. 1 .1 constituency av their member ; and 2d, That the Lor , l unanimously Advocate, failing the Bench, would be e...osen by the Faculty of Advocates for the distill.• guished_ office of Dean. But we only express the wish of his Lordship's constituency and the Liberal party generally, when we sincerely desire that the Lord Advocate may feel it consist ent with his other duties to remain in Parliament, and still lend his valuable services to his country. —Caledonian Mercury. On these rumours the Scotsman makes the following com ments :—The rum our th a t M r. H ome D rummond is to be the Tory Lord Advocate, cannot possibly have any foundation. His long absence from the Courts, and his blunders when So licitor-General twenty years ago, must prevent any such ar rangement. Our impression is, that Sir William Rae must he appointed to the office, for the s i mp l e reason, that it se:" 1 b e ex tremely difficult for his party otherwise to 'provide for him. Much to his credit, he refused a seat Upon the Bench many years ago, and of course he cannot, accept it now. No doubt he had tas eye then upon a Baronship of E xchequer, and had such snug situations still existed, an d some of them been held by Tories, room would have been made for him by shelving one of them. But this abuse has been swept away by the Whigs ; and we cannot believe that the Learned Baronet, who so long embodied in his person the whole Privy Council of Scotland, can humble himself 30 far as to shrink into a puny Clerk of Session upon 800/. a-year 1 Sir William is not the only man who has been looking for ward to a change of Ministry for an addition to his worldly comforts. We heard some months ago of a pretty young man, who was engaged to a pretty young woman, and who plainly told the lady and her friends that he could not marry sinless Sir Robert Peel came into power ! There are hundreds of slender youths, well connected, but deficient in money and brains, and hundreds of sweet damsels, not unwil ling to be wed, to whom, for similar reasons, Sir Ro bert's advent must bring inexpressible satisfaction. He will now have this pleasure of performing one of the first Christian duties—that of feeding the hungry ! And we can well believe that the loud angry remonstrances so often heard during the last three years against his slow movements and want of energy, have proceeded from sufferers of this class, who thought he had the power, and only wanted the will, to annihilate space and time, and make lovers happy ! As to the last part of our contemporary's article, we have made some inquiry, and we are able to assert on good autho rity, that Lord Jeffrey neither intends to resign his gown at present, nor the Lord Advocate his seat in Parliament. The gentlemen who are canvassing the burgh of Leith are therefore throwing away their labour, if indeed the canvass is not the niece work of agents who are looking after fees.

The average price of Wheat last week was 19f. 9c, and that of Rye 10f. 47e. per hectolitre. The Anti de. 1' Ordce has the following paragraphs : Much has been said of the importance of the mission with which Monsig. Cappacini, the Pope's Nuncio, has been intrusted to the Court of Holland. " We learn that this mission has been completely re scinded. The Dutch Government grants perfect politi cal and civil equality to the Protestants and Roman Catholics. The question of mixed marriages has also been settled to the satisfaction of both parties." BRUSSELS, JULY IG.—The Independent, in its evening edition, has the following intelligence : The King will arrive at Ostend to-day, and be at Laelcen to-morrow, as we have announced. Her Majesty the Queen remains at London, and will not leave it till next week, as the Duke of Brabant has not yet sufficiently recovered from his indisposition to bear the voyage from London to Ostend. M. Van Praet returns with the King. Countess Vilain XIV., General Goblet, and Major Allard, remain with the Queen. Some English houses have just given orders in Belgium for large quantities of wheat, which our Commissioners find it impossible to execute. RUSSIA.—The new arrangements arc now completed by which the civil and military authorities in the Trans- Caucasian provinces are separated, and the Russian system of administration introduced ; and the Em peror, as a testimony of his satisfaction, has addressed autograph letters to General Golowine, Commander-in- Chief of the army on those frontiers, and to Baron Hahn, Privy Counsellor and Senator, and given to the former the insignia of the order of Wladimir of the first class, and to the latter the order of Alexander Newdki. AMSTERDAM, JULY 14.—His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia is expected in this city on Friday next, apartments having been bespoke for him, and a numerous suite. The Java papers from the 24th February to the 6th March bring further accounts of destructive inundations in different parts of the island ; it appears that the in undation at Kehiri was not caused by an eruption of the volcano Kloet, as was conjectured, but by an extraor dinary influx of water from the residency of Pasoerowan.

LETTERS FROM ABROAD. 2 Vols. Moxon, London, 1841. These Letters are from the pen of Miss Sedg wick—an American authoress of talent—who was lately for some weeks a resident in London, and has described the impressions made on her by its fashionable and literary society with much spirit and truth of detail. It is greatly to this lady's credit that her Letters evince no betrayal of pri vate confidence, no garbled reports of conversa tions evidently from their nature intended to he confidential. She has hazarded no commnts but such as are perfectly unobjectionable, The second volume is chiefly taken up with av account of her recent tour through Italy, and forms pleasant, loungincr reading. THE MIRROR. Cunningham, Lyndon, 1841. In the present volume of this cheap and popu lar weekly MiscellaLny, we find numerous well executed wood-eAtts, and somefew able original essays, one of. the best of which is an essay on the character of Milton's Abdiel. E RUN. LONI)ON, MONDAY JULY 19, 1841 • SPORTING REVIEW. The principal and best embellishment in this number is a portrait of " Coronation," the winner of the last Derby. Among the literary contri butions, which of course are all on sporting sub jects, we find some sensible remarks by the Hon. G. Berkeley on tha preservation of game. THE BUDE LIGHT.

FRIDAY NIGHT, JULY 16.—Neven has there been exhi bited in this century and this country so extracrtlinary a dis play of arbitrary power as that which the High Sheriff chose to present to the public. For no cause he appears to have had all the election business stopped—all the approaches to the Court-house rendered impassable—all access blocked up by cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and this, too, was done in the face of the most perfect tranquillity—nay, in despite of the most solemn stillness on the part of the populace. There were neither upon their part numbers nor noise to afford the shadow of a pretext for an apprehended riot; but then this milidary cordon which invested the Court-house, under the orders of the High Sheriff, produced one good effect for his party—it closed the booth at Rahvilly, in which the Liberal strength lay, and it has won the election for Col. Bruen. It kept out voters who were going up for Mr. O'Connell. This can lie proved on oath, and as a sufficient number were by this military stratagem, under the superintendence of tho High Sheriff, prevented from being polled at the one booth, it has, as far as this election is concerned, disfranchised them. It will scarcely be believed, that aperson holding a situation, like that of high sheriff, should have ordered them to be de prived of their rights, and, by a mere act of undisguised despo tism, the Court-house, where the law sanctioned the registering of their votes, should be surrounded with an armed force, and the electors told, that if they even attempted to go to the poll, they must be sabred or bayoneted for the attempt. It was about five o'clock, just an hour before the poll closed, that this was done on Friday. Every one was excluded by the orders of the High Sheriff—not merely those connected with the press— not merely ;freeholders—but the conducting agent of Mr. O'Connell 1 This gentleman, Mr. Arthur French, happening to leave the Court-house for an instant on business of the elec tion, and and returning in a few minutes afterwards, was told be could not be admitted, for "the High Sheriff had ordered no one to be permitted to pass." Anything so monstrous as this, never occurred at an election—but it helped to close the booth from which danger to Colonel Bruen was appre hended. The High Sheriff is notoriously a partisan of Colonel Bruen ; for that he is not to be blamed, if his party feelings did not in duce him to step beyond the line of his duty, and to assume to himself powers, which, if fairly exercised, must still, on account of his politics, be tinged with the semblance of partiality. He took upon himself the entire management of the civil and mili tary power; and this he did although there were by his side two Stipendiary Magistrates, Mr. Greene and Mr. Tuckey. On a former day upon some of the tenantry of Col. Bruen going up to the booths upon Mr. O'Connell's tallies, an at tempt was made to seize them by the Orangemen, and this at tempt was successfully resisted. Thirteen of these men, who were the most staunch in their resistance to the Colonel, were reserved for the last day's polling, when it was hoped they would aid in turning the majority in favour of the Liberal candidates. The Orangemen were aware of this, and had therefore resolved to get hold of them, and carry them out of the county. Mr,. French knew this to be the determination, and therefore de sired to have the aid of a few soldiers to protect them from the lintel in which they were stopping to the Court-house. lie appplied on the subject to the assessor, and the assessor desired him to speak to the sub-sheriff. He saw the High Sheriff with some difficulty, and by him he was directed to go to the sub-sheriff, who again sent him to the assessor; but when he went to look for the assessor, he was not to be found for some considerable time. At length the assessor sent him to the High Sheriff again, but when he was searched for, he was also missing ! Thus Mr. French was kept running about for nearly three hours, before he could even approach the object he had desired; and even then he was told he should make an affidavit, before he could have what he required. He imme diately prepared an affidavit, declaring that he was obstructed on the 13th July instant, in bringing up to poll the freeholders in the interest of deponent's clients, and attempts were made to take them from deponent's agents ; and, therefore, depo nent, on the part of his clients, and for the preservation of the peace, requires a sufficient force for their protection, from Ilenton's Hotel to the hustings, otherwise the poll may be closed, by which deponent's clients may be prevented from polling the freeholders. But then, having made this affidavit, he was told that it was alleged the freeholders were in custody, and not willing to vote for O'Connell and Yates, and, therefore, an affidavit would be required for them. This difficulty was also overcome by the following : ." County of Carlow, to wit.—We, the undersigned free holders of the county of Carlow, do solemnly declare that it is our intention to vote for Messrs. O'Connell and Yates at the present election, and require protection to bring us to the hus tings for that purpose. " Taken and declared before us this 16th day of July, 1841. 4, WALTER BLACKNEY, " JOHN NOLAN, J.P." (Thirteen signatures.) It was not until after hours of delay, and these embarrass ments had been removed, that Mr. French could get a few soldiers, to prevent an occurrence which must have led to a breach of the peace. The attempt to seize these freeholders, and to carry them off, must have produced a conflict in which hfe might have been lost. To prevent a certain riot, affidavit upon affidavit was required, which, at a later hour in the day, to close up the booths there was not even a ,ingle shout in the streets to justify the closing of the booths, by all the array of Carlow. The people here are too astute not to have seen, in an instant, what was aimed at by this manceuvre, they looked on patiently while this solemn farce was enacting. There was written on every countenance the demonstration of that feeling which the long rule of Tory ism has implanted in the breasts of the people of this countr% ; namely, .‘ that there is neither law nor justice for the poor Irishman." There were nine men bringing up to the poll at the moment that the booths were closed against them. This is a tact stated on the authority of Mr. French, the agent of Mr. O'Connell. Had these nine men been polled, Colonel Bruen must have lost the election. These men being excluded gains him the county. It is now, and only now, that the intensity of feeling that pervades the hearts even of the poorest peasant woman that one sees in the streets, or passes on the road, can be understood. In all places one, if coming from the Court-house, is stopped by them, to " know how the election is going on," and when they have heard that O'Connell was not in a majority, the ob servation has been almost invariably the same, "My God, my • God ! there will be no standing the county —no living in it, if the Orangemen gain the election." But when they have this fee lin g , and know, which they do well, that victory has been taken from themselves and given to their opponents by . means of a paltry trick, who can be surprised i f their indignation burst out into open acts of of violence, and that they endeavour to anticipate the vengeance that they apprehend ? Sentiments of the most deadly hatred mutually animate the Orangemen against the people and the people against the Orangemen ; and both are full of courage and ready to encounter each other. At pre sent, and with such a commander as Colonel Jackson, the army is impartial—being prepared so attack those, whatever be their party, who attempt to break the peace. It was with that intention he brought out the forces on Monday, and made that military display, for which there was more necessity than might be imagined. It seems that the Orangemen had threatened to come down to Carlow, from all parts of this, the Queen's, King's county, and Wexford, and as it is notorious that they always tome armed ; the peasantry here, and in Kilkenny, had armed themselves with pikes and pike-handles, and would have again stood in the field against them. It was to prevent this colli sion that Colonel Jackson made the demonstration, being quite determined to cut down the first man who fired a shot, or used a deadly weapon. His precautions had, however, been ren dered unnecessary by the care of Mr. John O'Connell, who, while travelling from Kilkenny with the voters, became ac quainted wiih the fact of the peasantry having pike-handles. He instantly stopped the procession, and having addressed the people and entreated of them instantly to cast their weapons away, they did so, and he has assured me that hundreds were cast into the fields on both sides of the road. So implicitly Werehis orders obeyed, that there was not a single man to be seen armed when Colonel Jackson, at the head of his troops, met them outside of the town. It will come with surpri.e upon the English reader to learn, that one reason why this contest has been lost to the Liberals —by those who are struggling for a free trade in corn, has been occasioned by the Carlow tenantry of the Earl Fitz william voting with the Corn-monopolist, Colonel Bruen, while, at The last election, they voted against him. The Protestant tenantry of a Catholic landlord, Mr. Tighe, also voted w ith the man who denounces the religion of seven-eighths of his countrymen "as an idolatry; " and the defeat too, t o b e as cribed to the absence of several leading Whigs ; for instance, Mr. Bagot, the High Sheriff of the county Dublin, Mr. Tighe, Mr. Vigor', a relative of the late Member, and some others. ' 'Had they all acted like Mr. Hatchett, Q.C. who, at great inconvenience to himself , came down here to vote, the result otherwis e. ntof the past contest (for so I now must T h The have most been curious far ineide consider it), although the formal return will notbe made by the Sheriff until to-morrow, was the ; fracasbetween Captain riot to ' C o nbnee considered onside namely , c 1 a gentleman. that a person uSsmingthaanwdril‘ttlern VC ca 'i r l d liam is r j lo .

The grounds of the protest are these an:— " On the ground of a refusal and delay of the Sheriff d assessor to afford protection with' the military or civil power to the electors in the interest a the Messrs. O'Connell and Yates, until so late a period that they were by such delay prevented from polling. "On the ground of f raud and deception all in pre venting such protection insufficient time to allow said voters to poll.

" The reason alleged for obstructing the poll yesterday,and stopping all the passages to the Court-house was, that there was an apprehension entertained by the High Sheriff that an attack was about to be made upon Carlow, by certain unknown insurgents from the county Kildare." THE POOR MAN'S CHURCH. That the State Church in this country is maintained for political rather than spiritual purposes, the strong attachment to it, cherished and evinced by the aristo cratic section of society, might be taken as sufficient argument. An exclusive class—a class lifted far above the great bulk of society—claiming a right to all political power, and making the various interests of the many subservient to their own—could not, it is eVldent, long maintain its standing in this country without possessing a firm hold upon every grade of society beileath it. This the State Church enables the aristocracy to secure. It is to them an extensively ramified system of nerves distributed over the whole body politic, by which their volitions may be communicated to the various muscles. Through it they can make their influence felt with the utmost ease at the very extremities of the social system. They have but to will, and instantly there is put in motion an appa ratus which brings that will to bear upon all orders throughout the empire. We examine the structure of a machine—we see the relation of part to part—we observe how aptly certain contrivances secure certain movements—and how the combination of the whole uniformly produces one great result—and we pronounce without hesitation upon the design of the machine. If, then, we find every arrange ment in a State Church ill-adapted to answer a spiritual purpose, but fitt€d with special nicety to maintain the ascendancy of a party—if, in point of fact, it. impedes rather than promotes religion, and is found invariably prompt to advance the interests of the aristocracy, be those interests based on right or on injustice—what rea son is there for dealing with it as a sacred institution instead of treating it, as in truth it is, as a political en gine, having for its object the perpetuation of exclusive privilege and power ? _ Fifteen thoUsand clergy trained in the most exclusive spirit at universities where subserviency to rank is not only taught but practised—receiving, each his appoint ment to a living, from the hands of a' land-owning pa tron, or what is much to the same purpose, from those of a Bishop or the Crown - L -looking to the same source for future preferment—dependent, for intercourse with aris tocratic society, upon the good will of the neighbouring squire—sympathising with all the sectional feelings of the order, as being themselves members of a privileged class—wielding, to appearance, the dreadful sanctions of religion—almoners, usually, of parochial funds and the great man's bounty—conduits, through which may flow, to bowing tradesmen the custom of the rich—having ac cess to every house, able to assume an air of authority, and, in virtue of their office, to work upon religious fears and affections—fifteen thousand clergy thus depen dent on the one hand, and powerful on the other—to the tiristociacy pledged servants, to their own flocks su preme dictators—stationed at convenient intervals over the length and breadth of the land, and thus coming in contact with society at all points—could mechanism more fatal to religion, or more serviceable to the inte rests of the upper class, be framed and put together ? All the movements of this tremendous engine are under the complete control of the class for whoso ad vantage it exists. The appointment of bishops, to whom is intrusted the superintendence of this well-organised corps, who dispense no small portion of its patronage, and whose requests, in consequence, have all the force of law, is vested in the Crown, that is, in the Ministry for the time being. That they are selected for their spiritual aptitude for the office, none will pretend. Their elevation is in 11103 t instances owing to their connection with, or their former subserviency to, the aristocracy. They thereupon become members of " the order." They breathe exclusive atmosphere. They are thoroughly imbued with the aristocratic spirit. Is any inroad upon sectional privileges threatened ?—they have but to nod the head, to give the well-understood sign, and on the instant, tenants, tradesmen, parish officers, paupers, small gentlemen who occasionally dine at the squire's. matrons who tremble for religion, and young ladies who are looking up to respectable connexions, send forth a cry of disapprobation, and send up a shoal of petitions, at which the boldest statesman may be excused for stand ing apalled. We beg our readers to look at this State Church, first as a means of religious instruction, and afterwards as a n instrument of political power. In the former case all is perplexed, anomalous, suicidal—intbe latter, everything is well arranged, easily managed, certain of accomplish ing the end. It is upheld by the aristocracy —it is sub servient to their designs—it shields and secures their in terest. It is a political organ brought to bear against the liberties of the people. It is no more a sacred in stitution than the House of Lords. It becomes every lover of his country, as well as every Christian, to de nounce it. No man can be regarded as a sound-hearted patriot who advocates the continuance of a State Church. —Nonconformist. CORONER'S INQUEST. — On Saturday an in quest was held at the Prince of Wales, Brixton-hill, before Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of George Bristow, a fine lad, ten years old, who was struck dead bylightning, in Acre lane, Brixton, ou Thursday evening last, during the se vere storm, under the following very dreadful and melan choly circumstances ;—Prederie James Mitchell, appren tice to Mr. Frickelton, chemist and druggist. of Acre lane, Brixton, deposed that between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday evening last, he was going up Acre lane, towards Brixton, when he saw the deceased in the road coming towards him ; at the same moment a very severe flash of lightning took place, followed by a peal of thunder ; it was raining very hard at the time the flash of lightning happened ; witness saw the little boy stag ger and fall upon his face ; witness ran towards Him ; he was quite motionless, and apparently dead ; his face was very much disfigured and blackened ; a number of per sons came to the spot, although the lane is rather retired, a policeman came up, and a stretcher was procured, on which the deceased was laid, and conveyed o%lr. Frickelton's house. Doctor Key was then sent for, who pronounced the deceased quite dead. By the Coroner.— I have no doubt the lightning killed the deceased, when he fell ; his clothes were very much scorched and torn ; one of his shoes was burnt to pieces. Sereral of the Jury resident on the spot spoke to the violence of the storm ; the lightning was very severe. Mr. Frickelton, said, that the shocking occurrence happened only about sixty yards from his shop ; the flash of lightning which destroyed the poor boy was tremendous. It destroyed a number of panes of glass in his shop. The neighbour hood had suffered much from its effects. Other witnesses were examined, but their testimonies were not so satis factory as Mitchell's, as they only came up afterwards. Doctor Key said, he had no doubt the lad's death was occasioned by the electric fluid, produced by the light ning. Verdict—" Accidental Death." The father of he lad is a builder, living at Clapham. DR. lIA N COCK, THE TRAVELLER.—It iS with the greatest concern we learn that this individual, so distinguished ill the literary and scientific world, is now in a state of the utmost distress, overpowered by sickness, and incapable of assisting himself and his nume rous family. lie has claims on the kindness and com miseration of the good and the learned, and we sincerely hope that the hand of benevolence may be extended to wards him. We believe the Fellows of the Royal Medico-Botanical Society have assisted him as far as hey are enabled to do. CHURCH RATE AT ROCHDALE.—A vestry was held at the parish church on Thursday morning, Dr. Molesworth in the chair, when Mr. Roby read over an estimate of monies said to be wanting for the support of that " venerable fabric," amounting to no less a sum than 695/. ; when Mr. Abraham Brierley, one of the church wardens, moved that a rate of a penny in the pound be granted ; and this motion was seconded by Mr. John Scholefield.— The body of the church was crowded with rate-payers, who received the proposition with manifest disgust; and M r . B arton and Mr. John Bright addressed them in opposition to the rate with great effect, and were loudly applauded. Mr. Barton concluded with an , h_amend ment, which Mr. Bright seconded, to the effect cal ' led "that no rate be laid ;" and on a show of hands being: tv _ There ' it was carried by an overwhelming majority.--There payers.—Manchester Paper.

Some, it may be feared, lest, having grasped at too much, they may the sooner lose the whole : others, it is certain, through deep and sincere respect for the statesman-like abilities of Lord Morpeth, feel that justice has not been done hinv'and , that on no trivial grounds should he have been discarded; The intense interest manifested during the delivery of his Lordship's.Lpeech on the day of declaration, evinced the esteem in which ho was held even by many of the opposite party, and the 0 fervid" prayer with which he concluded his address, gave rise to emotions not often experienced on such occasions,—Leeds Mercury.

Very copiou.s, showers fell after sun-set also, Probably the patrons of the Saint will, . therefore, be on t h e look-out for rain every day during the next 40 days, an expectation, we trust, not to be realised, seeing that the growing crops of corn, 8.x., stand so much in need of sunshine,---Leeds Mercury.
