HOLY ORDERS.—(No. W.) . * , The next point in answer to the ,Parnithlet 11 '°n Episcopal Innovation, &c. is that which relates to JO tpation, up on w hi ch there arc no less than three of our Arti c les; and this term the Author maintains, and seems to rest his cause chiefly upon, to be the same, in all its hear- I ngs, with everlasti ng sa l va ti on . This term, hoWever, as the t 6° P says, the very first homily in .the very exordium, dis• "N,Puishes, by the use of. the conjunctive particle " justifica linn and everlasting salvation," which would have been tau t°l4gY, if they were of similar import, and the disjunctive must hare been used. At this distinction, clear as it is, his n Pponent t a k es t h e a l arm, an d fears that the Church is in danger, though, with the sane breath, he asserts that the arti cles are to be taken in their literalwaint grammatical sense ? C aw, What would become of zraminar, if two such different particles are to be contounded, or what of common sense, if tns innetion and conjunction are to mean the same ?. ~ These two terms have been understood, by the best divines i n our 'Church, ever since a controversy has been held about Meru, as quite distinct and separate—Justification, when ap plied to Christians, is Confined to this world—Everlasting salvation to the next. The very passages which are, quoted, art h • quite enough to prove a distinction which the y a re rn aglit forward to refute. In the very 17th Article, whichis "cite d, " They be justified freely—they walk religiously in g : ° : 1 , w orks ; and finally, by God's mercy, they attain to ever lasting felicity," we meet with this very same invidious con uncrive particle, 'which, as long as it is there , mu st for ever ke ep them in :1 state of separation. That there may not be a P ti ssihility• of- confusion—that' we are here justified . ; &c. but 6n rlly we . attain everlasting felieity—which last surely catinut he attained till this life is past, as the former can "IY take place in the life is. Th e same conjunctive particle performs its proper office in froth his own quotations from the Catechism and the Bap , tisraal Office, anti in the Homilies, especially Ihe last , which run e rn the same current with the quotation fro m the 17th A rticl e -- -" We obtain justifiCation through faith i n his blood, a i:cied ll tleavr e fivally, or eater this life, and all its effects are over , p into everlasting glory."—One of the H omilies, however, is particularly insisted upon with an air of triumph as a most " remarkable phenomenon"—hecause it is refereed uin this Article. But, in the first place, we have no such . tl fi 'ilY by that title; and the only one which is supposed 'to a ' ln tleto the Homily of Salvation, which - he himself quotes, Zeilitates directly against his position, as now the disjunctive " rrtiel e i s used, " Baptise d or ,Jtastified," as if Baptism anti i fication meant the'same, which, therefore, can never be lYnonimons with everlasting Salvation. • B ut not to confine our argument to these minute points, th e Articles themselves, which treat of Justification, make i t a, distinct from everlasting Salvation as this life is from the I :' 4t ' — '''According to Art.l.2, as the Bishop says, " Good works 4 ` )ll °w after Justification," and, according to Art 13, "we are inc apable of doing good works before we are justified;" and y t he most undeniable consequence, Justification takes place *n the present world; and how then can it he confounded with ""las ting Salvation, or the happiness of the World to come ? Indeed if we consider the 3d Section of this Chapter, which for Brevity's sake will betaken before the 2d, we shall be con 'lltei,l in the Bishop's opinion—when he proves under this lead °fJostification, in reference to the time,,that it " is our 41° ' i s$ion to the Christian Covenant, and therefore only the e4Mmeticement (as.he says under the former head,) of that of %Mich everlasting Salvation is the end." When we. are justified, me we not (by Art. I I.) ac c°l4°' .righteous before God ? And when so accounted for the merits of our Lord, are we not then admitted to the Christian Covenant ? Is not, therefore, our justification our "Mission to the Christian Covenant ?" hi two fi rsfQ,uestiMts are answered in the affirmative by 11-° Pponent ; and vet he withholds his assent to the last, *hi .1 so immediately; follows by all the Rules of sound logic fro the other, and in order to satisfy himself, he resorts to a tteductio ad absurdum. 'P r,oirk one of the Bishop's Questions (he says), " the free lift , "roe upon all men to Justification ;"—another Question - :"'es Faith essent i a l, an d this considers admission to the C hrist ian Covenant; that is—Baptism , nec essar y to Justifica tion. 2 Who then are admitted to the Christian Covenant ? " su ppose, on lyth e y who have been baptized accord in g to the Rit es of the Church, viz. the Church of England. " How ' '' `' di gious is Universal Justification reduced now!" Bu t when it is said the "free gift came'upen all" men, and to this ery term are comprehended not only Chriitians but all —"," from thefoundation of the world—the greater part " whom could never have been baptized, and therefore never have been justified in this sense, but as admitted into a" with God—by making a proper use of thei r faculties v" 1" he hail given them, this Grace extends even to them ~,t, 1 :" ° tired b e f ore th e coming of his Son, whose merit s reach acitward as well as forward, to all, without respect of per I°l4 , that are in this sense justified. Bu`tst ill, as applied to Christians, Justification is the same %) —a P ti 'm—which is the Christian admission in to. G o d's c tena ntr or into his favour, but which ceremony c o ul d not ha ve b een necessary in those ages before it was enjoined ; 11 - " Whatever may be the application of his opp o n ent, the i ta h° P never thinks of applying this terns, or of inculcating po r n t ee , e"i . l Y ollOn ' any but Christians , wh o have had the op 'l'lY afforde d them of such admission to the Cht istian Th e . s ame mode ' o f argnment will apply to the 2d Section ° i s Chapt er, which co nsiders ' " Justification in reference thti:o its t caus e." Here the Bishop implies , that we are " j ug • ke he a by Faith only," says hi s Opponent, and yet elsewhere, p. a th it Ch r i s t died for all men, but all'have nut h-- How then can all be justified ? F ait h is used in several senses—with regard to them 'vete() lived be fore the coining of Christ, they were " a Law unt o them selves," and they might be said to hare the Faith who com plied with th at Law, to approve t h emse lves in the sight G od but, as in the former l'nstanee, their Faith would be C st, - who :no avail if ,t h eir IVorks were .not justified by the merits of " for all men;"-not only for those who iivhri since his coming, hut for all—for whom the Lamb was sla L i/ front the foundation of the World. The same word is used in different senses, even when re fe Tril l to Christi ans , as C a l v i n hi mse lf allows ; sometime , it abets l xcludes o b e di ence, and then itis regarded as nothing; and it include s it, as ev e ry t hi ng , th ro ugh the merits of chris t ; these merits are the cause; and a true and lively I ) , which includes both, are the means and condition of Clue condition onlY, will he of no avail; both "i 3 Article refers to Chapter IV, Section 1. See TliE of yesterday. • intrst meet titgether, for : vvittioat Faith, including - obedience, we cannot please God. Neither Faith nor Works; nor both together, can reflect the least degree of merit, which must be a term entirely without meaning; from the creature to the Creator, hut they are both conditions, complying with which we may trust, through the merits of Christ, to obtain salvation. " The Lord is our Righteousness," having none of our own.—" All the world is guilty before God," and we are justified, or only accounted righteous through him—but yet we shall never be so accounted, unless we comply with the terms expressly en joined, not only of faith but of sincere obedience.—lt was for him to enjoin the terms, it is for us who receive the free gift only to comply with them, and if we du not comply, it is not for us to complain if that gift which was freely offered to us is finally withheld. In short, this I lth Article was more immediately addressed to the Romanists, who held the arrogant doctrine of inherent righteousness and human merit, and consequently the Re formers naturally insisted with the greater force upon the corruption Of fallen man, and his absolute demerit in the sight of One, too pare to behold iniquity—they therefore dwelt more upon Faith than Works, as the means of salvation. If the heresy to which they were oppo4ed had been the doctrine of Antinomianism, they would have insisted more upon the efficacy of Works, but they adapted their anti dote to the poison which they would expel front the bosom of the Church—juit as the Apostles in the first age of Christianity• accommodated their doctrine to the correc tion of the errors into which their converts had fal len.—Saint Paul anti Saint James, addressing their fol- lowers in different circumstances, the one expatiates more largely upon the necessity for Faith, and the other for good Works ; not meaning to exclude either, as is evident from the rations passages in other parts of their Epistles, which so clearly demonstrate the necessity for both. I have not the space to prove this, nor can it be at all ne cessary, as it has been so often proved—and is so obvious to any that will take the pains to examine them. That our own Articles never meant to disparage either Faith or good Works, as a necessary condition of salvAon, is sufficiently manifest from the 12th Article, which seems to have been written on purpose to correct any Antinomian error, which might spring from too rigid . an interpretation of the former Article—but, as this may be the subject of fu. tore consideration, and I have trespassed already too long on your indulgence—for the present I must forbear. A. M. Lord SOMERS, who . has occasionally spoken during the late investigation of the conduct of the QUEEN, in her disgraceful and indefensible in timacy with a menial' servant of her household, is the descendant of that learned and admirable Statesman► and Lawyer, JOHN Lord SOMERS, who, in the reign of King C►tARLES the Second, was one of the great supporters of the liberties of the country against the arbitrary proceedings of that Monarch. In his thirty-sixth year he pre-emi= nently distinguished , himself, as Counsel for the seven Bishops who were tried for opposing the dispensing power of King JAMES the Second. His conduct on that occasion, and indeed in every other instance of his practice, was as uni formly respectful to the Court in which he ap peared, as it was creditable to the profession, of which he was so great an ornament, and honour able to himself. It forms a marked and decided contrast to the conduct of three modern Lawyers and a Civilian in a recent lamentable case. The present Lord SOMERS may be most truly consider ed as an independent, intelligent, and patriotic Member of the Peerage—not generally supporting the Ministers—but frequently in opposition to them. In the late investigation he has fearlessly and conscientiously expressed his hOnest opinion of the QUEEN'S misconduct, which cannot fail to produce on the public mind that conviction, which the " quiet good sense of the country" will always feel, when left to its own operation and reflections. Lord SOMERS, above lending himself to party influence, must expect to share for a while a little of the obloquy, which the miserable remnant of the Whigs are now attempt ing to throw on his Lordship and those other illustrious and respectable individuals who have had' courage to act honestly and explicitly during the late unfortunate investigation. It is generally understood that the present LORD Mayon is determined to shew every de-, gree of submission to the Whigs, and that he wil! never permit any measures to be agitated in the City which may .tend to lessen their influence in the House of Commons, or to destroy THEIR do minion in Close Boroughs. As evidence of this belief, the usual patriotic sentiment of "Parliamentary Reform" was not given on Thurs day at the dinner at Guildhall ; and the refusal of the New Sheriffs to call a County Meeting on the'subjectbecause the formalities of Lord CAS TLEREAGII'S Act were not, it is said, complied with----strengthens the supposition, that in order to REINSTATE the Whigs in power, at the present moment, Messrs. NVAITHM AN, WILLIAMS, FA YELL, THORPE, HURCOMBE, and Company, will abandon, during their own lives, all attempts to relieve the people and to reform 'the Commons House of Parliament. PATRIARCHAL SIMPLICITY:—III ,the recluse vales of Cumberland, live an independent or der of men, who are called, STATESMEN. They transmit from father to son, with little va riation, their original family property .; and their wealth consists chiefly in large flocks of sheep. Their manners are simple, and their hospitality is such as to present a resemblance of the. Patriarchs described by MOSES, and the He roes of HOMER. " I recommend you," said one of these Statesmen to a traveller, whom he had enter tained in his house for some days, " to go to the valley that lies on the other side of that blue mountain ; there you will find the house of my neighbour ; tell him: you come from me : I know him not ; but fear not a hearty welcome, for our sheep mingle on the mountains." A report having been circulated that the pro secutions against Cuchi, Sacchi, Majocchi, &c. for perjury, have been dropped in consequence of the Queen's victory over her enemies, we have made inquiry, and are glad to find that there is no foundation Whatever for such a rumour. The prosecution .of these wretches is absolutely ne cessary, as a warning to the guilty, and as a pro tection for the innocent.—(Tiznes.) ~~ P ~:~r ded to hot& a 04111 i are e C°P 1 114 ell ers ° Roya l f Pair Goo ,.

George Cracroft, B. A. of Lincoln Collecre 7 was elected Fellow of that Society. Vesterday one of the rooms of the Rev. L Lee, at New college, was discovered to be on fire ; the room had undergone repair, and for the purpose of airing it, a fire was placed in the middle, in a chafing dish,, and a boy was, : appointed to watch it. The boy, however, fell asleep, and the tlarne communicated to a cloth placed over the bookcase, and before it was discovered the book case, and many of the books were much injured.

William Stocking, Reader of St. James's Parish, Bury, to the Rectory of Quarrington, Lincoln shire.—The Rev. G. E. Kent,, to the Vicarage of East Winch, Norfolk; Patron, E. Kent, Gent. TIIE THEATRE.--The New Musical . 0110, grafted on the Comedy of Twelfth Night, was again well attended yesterday evening at Covent Garden Theatre. It was, of course, to be ex pected, that some friends of THE QUEEN, in the Upper regions, would raise their voices, in con sequence of the Legislative decision of yester day, and accordingly cries of T H E QUEEN," were soon heard. Other persons called out " TUE KING for ever," and " God save the King."— At length the storm grew loud, and ABBOTT came forward to allay it, but could not be heard amidst the tumult. The Vocal Per formers then gave " 1-4.1 e Britannia," in the hope, no doubt, that Patriotism would triumph over Party. But they were obliged to re-ap pear, and sing " God save the KING !" to the chorus of which " THE QUEEN " was con stantly annexed by her admirers, and the spirit of turbulence at last gave way to the general de sire of peace and diversion. On such occasions the Managers should adopt the legislative doctrine of expediency, rather than prolong the reign of Conimotion.

In the levy of recruits this year the inhabit ants of the Government of Archangel are allow» ed to pay 1000 roubles for each recruit, instead of sending the man. - This measure is adopted on account of the great-extent of that Govern ment, and its small population ; the whole num ber of recruits to be furnis'.ed by it being only 161, and the remoteness of, the villages rendering it very difficult to levy the recruits and send them to the Government town. COBLESTZ, OCT.-W.-The. inhabitants of the banks of the Rhine, as far as Cologne, where the cultivation of the vine ceases, arc daily more un easy respecting the issue of the vintage this year, which, if we have any at all, will be delayed till late in November. In every case the produce will not be above a third, and many. parts no,t above a sixth of - the usrial crop, and the quality will at all events be but indilferent. The low 'price of corn, of which the farmers complain, is very fortunate for the wine-growers,wha would be ruined if they had to pay a high price for bread. SERIOUS RIO I'S LAST NIGHT.
