SOUTHEY'S BOOK of the CHURCH. (Continued from Tax Sux of Alm 8.) There can be no comparison between the danger of Calvinism which its advocates would extenuate, and of Socinlanism which they would magnify so highly as to saturate the friends of the church so full with alarm, that they may not direct their attention to any other quarter. The Soci nians may be making, as they boast, some pro. gress among men who are instigated by an affec tation of pre-eminent wisdom, and because they cannot answer the objections which appear on the surface of revelation, conclude that they are not to be answered by 'ethers, who can never be supposed of deeper penetration then themselves ; and, therefore, they reject and expose even to scorn and derision some of the more sacred of our holy mysteries: yet, there is something so cold and heartless, both In the manner in which they deliver their doctrines and in the doctrines th e mselves, as little superior to the dry and di dactic tone of the Heathen Philosophers; some thing so little congenial to the true spirit of a Christian, and to the general idea of the common people, as to the nature of revelation, and the comfort and peace to be derived to our some what more than reason and repose; and upon the whole some thing so contradictory, not (fitly to the letter but to the spirit of texts interspersed every where in Scripture, and which are got by heart from infancy, and grow up with our growth, and the higher they advance, are only the more sen sibly felt and better understood ; that however the Socinians may flatter themselves that they are a thriving body, there is not soul enough about them to spread their principles to any great extent among the people at large, though some of the half-learned may be ready to fall in with notions which appear to raise the vanity of human intellect upon a more exalted basis. No ; the great danger to be apprehended is from the opposite quarter, not so much from those who reject from revelation what is not level to their understanding, so low do they fall down before the majesty of reason, but from those who would persuade the people that religion consists in the sacrifice of reason at its altar, and in the ex travagance of zeal without knowledge, atsil!boast to believe, by a faith the most romantic, in it pro position chiefly because it is impossible ; making ignorance the mother of devotion, and imagining that the further they recede from nature, the nearer they approach to the sanctuary of truth. These are the men who make the greatest num ber of converts, who go about sometimes in the church, preaching whatever comes uppermost in their thoughts as divine inspiration, which they sometimes actually boast to coma from Heaven ; but when they do not make this boast, as their thOughts seem to flow so spontaneously, without any premeditation, in what is called their extempore preaching, (which after all is often as much studied beforehand as the sermons of the regular and considerate clergy), they are readily set down as effusions of the spirit, which are not to he canvassed but instantly followed ; and on they go, the blind led by the blind, into any ditch or fatal error into a hich it may be the in terest or the caprice of their leader to place them. So long as the preaching appears to them without impediment, more especially if the doctrine de livered is high seasoned, and they themselves are roughly handled, and all the horrors of damna tion are set before them, they seem as it were rivetted to the spot, like the silly bird, fascinated at the sight of the serpent which opens her mouth to receive the affrighted prey, that runs into the very danger (like the coward) from which he would gladly escape. They who have read the marvellous journals of Whitfield, &c. must be aware of the powerful effects which such vehement extempore preach ing has had upon their weak and credulous con. gregations,—the tremors, the fits, the sobbings, and convulsions into which they have been thrown even at the sight of the preacher, whose words they could not bear, but the sound of whose voice and whose gestures conveyed more sense to their feeling hearts than his very words. This effect they seem to believe to be one of the proofs of inspiration both in the preacher and themselves. Any preacher with a book before him, and all the words in order, may make any congregation understand and feel iu proportion to his own talents and those of hi s p eo pl e ; b u t to make men understand and f ee l w i t h ou t t h e help of words, by gestures only, and feel too with such raptures as Pus man's under in I s l i a )i b r ic i al t er s t e ia l e f ts r i elatttsltuis super natural th e standing, must b i ts ill preacher e ' ffe if at n o o f t fact well authenticated, and, I believe, recorded in one of the Evangelical Annals, that some men and many womeu (more susceptible of the spirit) have actually fainted away at the melting voice from the pulpit, though they were so fur distant as only to heur , the sweet sounds,and left to guess the sense, if any there Were ; such was the power of ompalky, 3entdbitt i m p u l se , an d 1 know not what. But after all it might only be the power of gesticulation upon spectators pre possessed in favour of the magi ca l influence, mid willing before-hand to catch the first impression, and quite prepared, by the due preparation of faith, to receive the whole portion unimpaired of the magnetic effluvia, and be put at once into a fanatical stew----more especially if the M ag ician, or the Magnetic, is profuse of his mysteries, which tickle the palate of guest s i n genera l, an d excite in them as m uch curiosity as th e cove red dish in the midst of the royal banquet upon ss bich the eyes of all were instantly fixed, neglecting the dainties with which the table was loaded. The general rule is to follow the preacher who talks loudly and declaims vehemently, especially if his declamations run upon such doctrines as are palatable to the common people, or to any who would rather indulge their passions than consult their reason, and who, instead of appeal \ing to the life and conduct as the proof of the spirit, appeal chiefly to faith alone, without its fruits, as sufficient evidence; and if they do not altogether decry their fruits or good works, yet they cast them so far into the back-ground, that their une nlightened congre gations care not, or will not take the trou ble to go so far, but are much more ready to close in with the fair offer (as a full compensa• tion for every moral virtue) of faith alone, which is the great frontispiece of all their sublime and beautiful compositions, making that the grand absolntion from all their sins, past, present, and to come, and being as great a relief to their wounded spirit, as confession to the sound Ca. tholic, 44 who cannot be easy till he confesses his sins to his priest, and when once confessed, never thinks more about them," and seems to go on with spirit refreshed for new indulgencies. ( To be continued.) HOGARTH.—A few months before HOGARTit was seized with the malady which deprived so ciety of one of its brightest ornaments, he pro posed to his matchless pencil the work. he has en titled the Tail Piece. The first idea of this pic ture is said to have been sketched in company, while the convivial glass was circulating round his own table. " My next undertaking (said 110- garth) shall be the End of all Things." c. If that is the case (replied one of his friends), your business will be finished, for there will be an end to the painter. " There will be so," answered Hogarth, sighing heavily ; " and therefore the sooner my work is doue the better." Accordingly ho began the next day, and continued his design with a diligence that seemed to indicate an appre hension he should not live to complete it. This, howeser, he did, and in the most ingenious manner, by grouping every thing that could de note the end of all things—a broken bottle, an old broom worn to the stump, the butt-end of an old musket, a cracked bell, a bow unstrung, a crown tumbled in pieces,. towers In ruins, the sign-post of a tavern, called the " World's End," falling, the moon in her wane, the map of the globe burning, a gibbet falling, the body gone, and the chains w Mai held it drooping, PIIOIIIU3 and his horses lying dead in the clouds, a vessel wrecked, Time with his hour-glass and scythe, a tobacco-pipe with the last whiff of smoke going out, a play-book opened with exeunt (mutes stamp. ed on the corner, an empty purse, and a statute of bankruptcy taken out against Nature.—" So far so good," said Hogarth, on reviewing his per .formance, 44 nothing remains but this," taking his pencil, and sketching the resemblance of a painter's pallet broken—" Finis," he then ex claimed, " the deed is done, all Is over." It is a very remarkable fact, not generally known, that Hogarth never again took the pullet in his hand, and that he died in about a month after he had finished this Tail Piece. FALSE ImmtsoNattENT.-:in occurence of a most extraordinary character took place in this city' during the last week. Early in the morning of the first file day, a man of the name of Bird, of Dunham Massey, In this county, on walking through the fair, fired upon a horse which was h many others by David Jones of s w N e ant i f t a lg a eb, nmt and ag insisted that it had Jean at olen from hint on the preceding Friday. So positive was he as to the identity of the animal, that he made immediate application to the superinten. dant of our police, who seized the horse, and took Jones into custody, whom he lodged in the house of correction, until he could be examined by the county magistrates. On a hearing before them, Bird positively swore to the facts above noted ; and notwithstanding that several most respect table individuals attended on behalf of Jones, who knew him as an individual of irreproachable character, and who would have given bail for him to any' . amount, he was fully' committed to QUr county gaol for trial. Conscious of his. in nocence, Jones immediately dispatched messen gers to the place and neighbourhood of his resi dence ; and intimation being given to the Ma gistrates, that he was prepared satisfactorily to .prove the falseness of the charge, they assembled again - at . the Clerk of the Peace's office on Satur day, w hen, such a body of evidence was pro (Weed against the facts deposed to by Bird, as to induce the Magistrates to annul the commit ment, and set the innocently accused at large.— Upon this occasion -- Caldecott, Esq. late High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire, attended, and swore to his having sold the disputed horse to Jones; it was,also proved, that on the preceding week the hors 3 had been shod at - Pwillteli ; and in the most satisfactory manner it was likewise shewn that Jones, at the time of the alleged theft, was in a different part of the country. — Indeed so complete was the chain of evidence ti t s f it - veer of his, entire innocence, that an univer sal sympathy, was expressed for the injury he had sustained in this 'mysterious business. Whether :my, or what ulterior proceedings may be de cided upon we know not, but certainly Mr. Jones returns to his -respectable sphere of so ciety without the shadow of imputation upon his character.—( Chester Courant, July 13.)

Lake Muse, Jay ti, 1824. Sln—As the Chairman of the ensuing Sessions, I beg leave thus publicly to address you. A most important question stands for discussion at that time, the issue of which will, in my opinion, either preserve the respectability of this county , in. the eyc:s , of the nation, or sink tier in irrecoverable degradations; it is nothing . more nor _ leased= whether she wiU Maintoin her idedgett faith. signed anelsealest.hy her tins, glstracy, or whether she will' break on her mortgage. bonds through the medium of an ex post facto law, sought and obtain ed for that purpose without the sanction of the county, without the privity of her creditors ; whether she will listen to and oboy the dictates of honour, or whether she will faithlessly cause her bonds.to become OD bonds, her securities to be ren dered no securities, whether she will destroy her own fair fame by a felo de cc. On the event of this question hinges the moral character of this county ; on its issue depend the just right of many individuals ; the precedent thus established will either materially subserve the general interests of the country, oF tend greatly to destroy all public and private credi t between than and man, all commercial relations between men and public bodies of men. This is my sincere opinion, and lam most anxious to hold back the county from the precipice, to the brink of which she has been unwarily led by a too ardent and indiscreet zeal for her supposed interests. The proposal, which has been made on her part, ought Never to have been made. In ethics it is an axiom, that that, which is not quit ably right must be morally wrong. I will prove, that the pro posed measure is not equitably right, ergo, I shall prove, that it irporally wrong, and 1 am sure the enlightened .Magistrates of this county will not openly commit moral wrong, because they possess the mere legal power attended with an apparent slight pecuniary advantage. 1 ant convinced they will then be guided by the feelings of honour and of justice, and will not be turned aside by the meretricious glare of Imagined, but un real, interest. I must now, however painfully, however unwillingly, refer to myself. I stand, Sir, in a most peculiar .and delicate situ. ation. I am at one arid the same time a creditor, anti as a Magistrate, lam a signer also of numerous bonds of the county. I have thus received, I have thus given the guaran teeship of her good faith. lam in honour bound to use my best endeavours to establish and .confirm the bonds of others, and I must therefore call on the Chairman of the several Sea sions, and on my brother Magistrates, to join with me in (te aming, that those securities, which we have signed and sealed, shall in deed and in truth " be sure and stedfast." With regard to myself, circumstanced as I thus am,, there is but one course, which I can pursue either honourably or consistently with my own feelings, which is positively to de. dare, that, be the result what it may, it shall be no benefi cial result to me ; if it be decided against my wishes, I will then receive me. principal according to the notice, and moat anxiously so, us I know not what may sprain happen ; on the other hand, if the question be decided as I truly wish, I will then annually present to some public charitable institution, that portion of my interest, which is morally my due, but which is now not equitably sought to he transferred to the county. It will be a slender sactifice in so important a cause. I shall thus stand in your Court equally independent in my mind and in my conduct. 1 shall thus neither plead nor vote, for any in terests of my own. I shall thus relieve all the members of that Court from any instinctive shackle imposed on them by the feeling, that they are voting in the presence of a brother Ma gistrate, who bears an interest in the result. I shall thus dis engage my own vote, and be freely enabled to give it in aid of the entitle of real honour and justice. I shall , thuslatisfac torily to my conscience act as I_ think I ought to ace. and thus give to myself the power of again declaring, that I confirm and establish all those numerous pledges, which, under my hand . and seal, I - have already declared to be confirmed and established. Other Gentlemen may act as they please. 1 am, Sir, the representative of one of your oldest county fatuiliee ; for nearly three centuries my name in this place has subsisted amongst you irreproachable anti unreprouch ed, and in this late day it shall never in my person descend to my posterity dishonoured and degraded-by a self-repudiation of the signature of that name. It now only remaixe for me to inform you, that I claim my right of arguing this important cause of the county in her own proper arena, the County Court. I can never consent, that so great a question (embracing at once the rights of individuals, the honour of the county, and, I may not improperly add, ge, neral and national good faith) shall be discussed in close cone clave, shall be decided within this walls of an inn. I will in that Court oppose temperately, but most firmly, this proposal ; I will there hear, and reply to, any defence its supporters may have to make to this measure, and there will I vindicate, and I trust fully and etrectually vindicate, the honour, dignity, and character of this great and respectable county.

[EU ItTUEA PAM= (MARS] On Tuesday morning his Majesty was Conti tiered somewhat better, and he passed a tranquil night, but in the afternoon he became worse, and at night it si us found necessary to send for Dr. Ley, from his house in Mount street. On the arrival of that gentleman, he found that the King was in a very low state, and death up-- peared to be approaching lust. The King, on seeing Dr. Ley, caught him by the hand, and said In his own language, " I am dying, I know I am dying." He continued very sensible, and knew all around him., Madame Poki, the Go vernor's Lady, was particularly attentive to him ; she supported his head from one o'clock till (the time the vital spark had fled ; Poki the Governor and the rest of the suite were support ing their royal master's legs at the foot of the bed. At two o'clock he became alarmingly worse, and he seemed not to know any ',emu.: the Admiral was brought into the room, and wits taucted•to tears. The King took no notice of him, nor any other person about him. From thnt time till four o'clock he kept continually saying, "' I shall lose my. tongue, I shall lose my tongue •;" and 'just before he breathed his last, he. faintly. said, " Farewell to you all, lam dead, lam happy." After uttering these words, he expired in the arms of Madame Pokl. is impossible to describe the sensation the distres sing event has caused throughout the whole of the King's suite. Madame roki, the moment the breath left,her Royal Master's body, was carried to her chamber in a very desponding state ; and Reeves, the King's interpreter, keeps his room.
