The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.40 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4271 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mint:pric,e is, therefore, nearly S-loths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 106 to my per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present xate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Judgment was delivered to-day by The Lord Chief Baron, who said that so far as the misdi rection and rejection of evidence was concerned, it was cured by the verdict, and no now trial would be granted on those grounds—the jury having found for the plaintiff. As to the damages, it was a question on which so much diffe rence of opinion might reasonably exist, that the Court were unananimously of opinion that the rule could not be granted on the ground that they were insufficient. Rule refused. 4i 4 d ROLLS COURT. (Before Sir John aomilly.) 13 14 FORREST V. MA/WHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE RAILWAY. SI 5; 13# /111 ids, 22 23 His Honour, in delivering judgment this morning in this case, said—After carefully examining the evidence he could come to no other conclusion than that the acts of the rail way directors were not beyond those conferred upon them by their Act of Parliament. It was perfectly clear that if the railway company diverged from their proper purpose of carrying passengers and goods to a certain place and conveyed them to another, it was not legal for them so to do. Even if all the shareholders agreed to carry on a different trade from that which they were specially empowered to do, then the directors had not the power to do so, and that point had been most clearly set tled in the Ipswich case, where it was decided that a rail way could not carry on the business of a manufacturing company. He was of opinion that no capital was expended or expenses incurred for th 3 .purpose of carrying out the excutsion trips beyond those given to them by Parliament. The bill must, therefore, be dismissed with costs, because it was proved that this was not the appellants' own suit, but that cf another company from whom he had indemnity for costs. 5 i 4 5h 91 9* 20 21 COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Evans.) IN RE THE UNION MSCOUNT COMPANY. To-day was appointed for the settlement of the list of contributions in the matter of this company now in the Court under the Winding-up Act. The case has been before the Court on previous occasions, but up to the present time n( statement of affairs has been made public. The rest of the business was of an uninteresting charac ter, consisting chiefly of audits and choices. It was stated that a bankrupt was brought up under a warrant issued from this Court and placed for execution in the hands of Detective SergEmt Jarvis, but as the case was not in the list of to• day's causes, and, as very likely the matter will be heard in private, no name is given.

There was a good consumptive inquiry for lambs, at from 5s 8d to 7s 4d per 81bs, being rather dearer. The veal trade was firm, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs, the best calves having produced 5s 4d.

MATTHEW'S, SPRING-GARDENS. — The Rev. J. Croke Bowden, D.C.L., Precentor and Prebendary of Chichester Cathedral, has consented to preach at St. Matthew's, Spring-gardens, next Sunday morning, when the annual collection towards the expenses of the chapel is to be made. Dr. Rowden's name is well known for the great act of benevolence he has just done in connection with the restoration of Chichester Cathedral, and also with the excellent musical services of the cathedral of which as Precentor he has the direction. I [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The great injury inflicted on many invalids by drugs increases the interest the public take in Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which cures without medicine. We quote a few out of many thousand cases of cures by the delicious Food. Cure No. 180.—" Twenty five years nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and de bility from which I have suffered great misery, and which no medicine could remove or reliave, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's Food in a very short time.

Cure 4,208.—" Eight years dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice of many, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's Health Restoring Food. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries. Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

The entrances and clearances of shipping at ports in the United Kingdom were last year larger than in any previous twelvemonth, the total entrances with cargoes having been 10,054,981 tons, while the total clearances were 10,782,937 tons. In 1843 the British tonnage which entered with car goes was 2,919,528 tons, and the foreign 1,005,891 tons ; in 1848 the British tonnage had increased to 4,020,415 tons, and the foreign to 1,559,046 tons, showing an advance of 38 per cent. in the former and 55 per cent. in the latter ; in 1854 the British entrances had further increased to 4,789,986 tons, while the foreign, advancing still more ra pidly, had reached an aggregate of 3,109,756 tons, showing an increase of 18 per cm. in the former and 99 per cent. in the. latter ; and in 1860 the British entrances were 5,760,537 tons, and the foreign 4,294,444 tons, showing an increase of 7 per cert. in the former and 38 per cent. in the latter. Comparing 1860 with 1843, the British entrances show a general advance of 97 per cent., and the foreign entrances an advance cf no less than 329 per cent. ; the actual augmentation of tonnage being—British, 2,841,009 tons ; and foreign, 3,28,550 tons. The clearances outwards next invite attention. In 1843 the British clearances with cargoes amounted to 2,727,306 tons, and the foreign clearances to 1,026,061 tons ; in 1848 the British total had increased to 3 ,553,77 T tons, and the foreign to 1,497,460 tons, showing an advance of 30 per cent. in the former and 4G per cent. in th e l itter; i n 'lBsl t h e B r i t i s h c l e arances were 4,683,654 t ons, and the fore i gn 3 , 186 , 882 t ons , show ing an advance o f 32 per ' cent. i n t h e f ormer an d 113 per cent. in the l a tt er ; and in 1860 the British total was 6,358,917 tons, and, the foreign 4,424,020 tons, showing an advance of 36 p er cert. in the former an d 39 p er cen t. in the latter. Comparing 1850 with 1843, the British clearances show a general advance of 133 per cent., and the foreign clearances an advan ce o f 333 per ce nt., the actual augmenta tion being—British, .`, 4 ,631 ' 611 tons; and foreign, 3,397, 95 7 tons.

The general shipping trade of the empire has been nearly multiplied threefold since 1843, the total entrances and clearances in that year having been 7,678,791 tons, while in 1860 they were 20,837,918 tons. The British tonnage which entered in ballast only was 625,818 tons in 1843, and 1,128,472 in 1860 ; and the foreign tonnage which entered in a similar manner was 296,056 tone in 1843, and 959,332 tons in 1860. The British clearances ip ballast comprised 908,527 tons in 1843, and 669,997 tons in 1860 ; the foreign tonnage which cleared in a similar man ner was 315,370 tons in 1843, and 1,066,573 tons in 1860. In 1859 the British entrances in ballast were 1,193,187 tons, and the clearances in ballast 503,985 tons, the foreign entrances and clearances being 938,092 tons and 934,389 tons respectively. The unemployed British tonnage which entered our ports last year were consequently 64,715 tons less than in 1859, and the unemployed foreign tonnage also showed a diminution of 51,240 tons; the unemployed British tonnage which cleared out last year was 163,012 tons less than in 1859, while the unemployed foreign ton nage which cleared out in the same period was 132,184 tons more than in 1859. These figures refer to both sailing and steam ships, but it is with the latter that British interests have made the greatest advance, and hence, probably, the outcry made from time to time by proprietors of ordinary shipping. An analysis of this p ar t o f th e s ubject must, h owe ver, be given in a future paragraph. Yrs. THE MAILS. MAILS DUE. Australia, Ceylon, and Mauritius (via South ampton) .. • • • • .. June lB.'

THE ESSAYS AND REVIEWS. (From the Brighton Observer.) The following is a Supplemental Discourse, de livered at Christ Church, New Road, Brighton, by the Rev. Robert Ainslie : It s been said by many clergymen who do net agree with the "Essays and Reviews," that their authors ought no longer to be ministers in the Established Church. As clergymen hold every variety of doctrine in the Church, I think it necessary by a calm and candid examination,—and as a supplement to the eight discourses I have delivered on the Essays and Reviews, to ascertain "What is it that a clergyman of the Church of England is required to believe ?" My answer will occupy two or three Discourses, and we s h a ll learn, probably, wh o are the men so faithful to their vows, as to be without tin; and qualifi e d t o cas t s t ones a t the Essayists. SUPPLEMENTARY DISCOURSE L The text is from Paul's 2d Epistle to the Corinthians, 6th chapter, the 3d and part of the 4th verse :--,'Giving no offence in any thing that the ministry be no t bl ame d • but in . all things approving ourselves as th e ministers of God In a charge recently delivered by the Venerable Arch deacon Singleton, he is reported to have said, " Judge, then, of my sorrow and surprise, and indignation, on seeing within the last few years publications of various kinds in which clergymen of our Church—men of learning holding high positions—circulate without scruple, as pure English coin, the basest neological counterfeits of Germany. Most of the clergy are sufficiently acquainted with the works I allude to. Ido not pause to enter upon the question how far the several authors of one notorious volume were re sponsible for each other's pet formances, though I must observe that those among them who object to the more ad vanced Infidelity of the rest, had in vain been called upon to repudiate the Anti-Christian principles of their brethren." The Rev. Henry Allen, minister of Union Chapel, Islington, who for some time was held up as a heretic in the columns of the British Standard, and who is said to be the author, in part or entirely, of the article which appeared in the British Quarterly, on the " Essays and Reviews," is reported to have used these words at the lath annual breakfast of the Young Men's Christian Association:— " He was not greatly alarmed at the publication of rationa listic books, and he thought it did not , say much for the faith and trust of the Church that such a panic had lately been exhibited." (If Mr. Allon be the author of the article referred to he has done all in his power to increase the panic.) Ho proceeded and said, "It was certainly very scandalous that ministers of the Church of England should have published the Essays and Reviews." According to these divines there are infidels in the Church of England, men who write and publish infidelity. We have here the testimony of conformist and of non-con formist. Nothing, however, has transpired authoritatively since the Committee of Convocation took the matter in hand, except that in proroguing Convocation, last week, it was steted that the report of the committee " was not quite ready." There is but little doubt that the whole subject will be more complicated, and will have to be investigated more thoroughly than was expected, or intended. If the Essayists have tiangrossed in one direction, how many have transgressed in every other direction. Religious men lay claim to honesty on other grounds than those of men who make no profession of religion. Clergymen should be moral men : they should also be honest. With them truth should be the bread of life to the mind—and honesty the soul of peace to the conscience and the heart. If a commercial man were to go to a clergyman, and ask his advice as to questions of morals in trading, he would espe cially enjoin upon him truthfulness, justice, and honourable' dealing. If he were to ask by what principles he should be guided in signing a contract, he would urge upon hint the necessity of thoroughly knowing and understanding what he is about to sign ; and that he should faithfully abide by the terms of the contract. It is well known that we have morality under various phases, even in this country, whore men call themselves Christians. We have the morality among lawyers. No more honourable men exist in the com munity, than upright and conscientious lawyers. They would scorn to fleece and to oppress a client. They could as soon think of going on the highway to plunder as to take advantage of the various means the law affords them to plunder their clients. But there are men numbered by hundreds in that profession who are utterly reckless and wog thless. They have no principle, no conscience, they give wrong advice ; for the sake of fees they introduce every possible delay, and if the client be a man of property they will not leave him until they have legally or illegally plundered him of every shilling they can obtain, and then they will throw him off when they can obtain no more plun der. Some of the worst of these men are avowedly religious men, members of churches, high Calvinists, believing in their personal election. Perhaps they are wise, in holding this lie in their right hand, for if not saved by absolute and unconditional election, irrespective of personal charac- ter, it is morally certain they could lever be saved at all. It is their only chance, but they will find it to be a fearful delusion. We have also social and conven tional morality. We have also commercial morality—and in a great country like this we ought to have, and to a large extent we have realised it—truth, honesty, justice, honour able dealing—in one word, all that is comprehended in the term "a man of honour" as the basis of our commercial code. This exists in society with or without religion. And then we have, or ought to have, the most elevated morality among bishops, priests, and deacons, and ministers of religion of all denominations. There is their personal character for general uprightness, consistency, purity, and piety; and then there is their Ecclesiastical morality. Of this there are two branches : first, the truthful avowal, as in the presence of God, of what they believe when entering upon the office of the ministry ; and second, their sincerity in truthfully holding and honestly teaching what they avow therbelieve. All double meaning, false reserve, equivoca • tion, dissembling, and the end justifying the means—(states of mind which the honourable commercial man would spurn from him)—ought especially to be discarded and renounced by a cler,ayman. Truthfulness in the heart, and on the lip, God requires of all men. Clergymen of the Church of England, and all candidates for holy orders, are, however, placed in peculiarly difficult and trying positions. They seek to minister at the altar of the Established Church, and to this perilous position they have to wade through abstruse propositions, Runtish Church offices, Calvinistic articles, contradictory creeds, and to de clare hat they believe them all. To everything within the covers of the Prayer -book they have to give cx aiiiiito their assent and consent. We shall now endeavour to answer the question, " What is it that a clergyman of the Church of England is required to believe ?" At the time of the founding of the Established Church very different views of religion, of liberty, of private judgment, and of individual responsibility prevailed to those now generally ac cepted. Henry VIII., of blessed memory! was the founder of the Episcopal Church of England—the Church established by law. Macaulay says, 4, Henry VIII. attempted to constitute an Anglican Church, differing from the Roman Catholic Church, on the point of the supre macy, and on that point alone. His success in the attempt was extraordinary. The force of his character, the singu • larly favourable situation in which he stood with respect to foreign powers, the immense wealth which the spoliation of the abbeys placed at his disposal, and the support of that class which still halted between two opinions, enabled him to hid defiance to both the extreme parties—to burn as heretics those who avowed the tenets of Luther, and to hang as traitors those who owned the authority of the Pope." In referring to Cranmer, Macaulay says, " The man who took the chief part in settling the conditions of the alliance which produced the Anglican Church, was Thomas Cranmer. He was the representative of both the parties which at that time needed each other's assistance. He was at once a divine and a statesman. * * * * * * His temper and his understanding, eminently fitted him to act as mediator. Saintly in his professions, unscrupulous in his dealings—zealous for nothing— bold in speculation—a coward and a time-server in action—a placeable enemy, and a lukewarm friend, he was in every way qualified to arrange the terms of the coalition between the a ligious and the worldly enemies of Popery." After these allusions to Henry VIII. and Cranmer, Macaulay gives us his opinion of the present state of the church. He says, "To this day the constitution, the doctrines, and the services of the Church retain the visible marks of the compromise from which she sprang. She occupies a middle position between the Churches of Rome and Geneva. Her doctrinal confessions and discourses composed by Protestants set.forth princi ples of theology in which Calvin or Knox would have found scarcely a word to disapprove. Her prayers and thanksgivings, derived from the ancient liturgies, are very generally such that Bishop Fisher or Cardinal Pole might have heartily joinee in them. A Controversialist who puts an Armenian sense on her articles and homilies will be pro nounced by candid men to be as unreasonable as aControvpre o a d n i d fi t e h d e , e si a a n li b s e t d w i h aeo e dveenrieedsitntrtihiteudroegytr.,ilaTebbef d b e a a p t ti h s o m f ad. e r n eg ry en eh er a a n t g lo od n yr an h d ad po to lit b ic e a m l, fierce the aspaencdt ungovernable g aff ov ai e r rn s both ab le ecclesiastical walofatant and expressed by the English Parliament in the short reign of his successor. In the fifth and sixth years of the reign of Edward VI., there was passed "an Act for the Uniformity of Common-prayer and Administration of the Sacraments" but the early death of Edward soon introduced a very dif ferent state of things. Mary succumbed to the Pope, and bishops, priests, and deacons—the Houses of Parliament and the people went back to Popery. The following is Bishop Burnet's account of the visit of Cardinal Pole to the House of Parliament: " Their Majesties being seated under a canopy, and the Lords and Commons being present, Gar diner, the Chancellor, introduced to them Cardinal Pole. Pole produced his commission from the Pope and addressed the house. " He had come to restore the nation, which had strayed from the sacred enclosure, to its ancient and true nobility." The two houses agreed to the offered reconcilia tion. On their knees they presented an address to the King and Queen, beseeching their Majesties mho had not been defiled by their schism, to intercede with the legate of the Holy See that he would grant themand the kingdom abso lution from the sin ofschism and heresy, and receive them again into the bosom of the Church.' On their beaded knees the Leads and Commons received absolution from Cardinal Pole, because they had been Protestants, and then and there became Papists. Oh, England, and was this thy humiliation by the Court of Rome On the death of Mary, Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, and in the first year of her reign the Acts passed by Mary were repealed, and those paised in the fifth and sixth of King Edward VI. were re enacted. The Houses of Parliament again became Pro testant, and the Act of Uniformity was revived. The penalties for non-conformity were very severe. It does not appear that at any time the Christianity of the New Testament was referred to, or that truth was the aim of any party, but simply which ecclesiastical system should be dominant—the Romish or the Protestant. Persecutions, the most wanton and cruel, prevailed under both systems. It was in the 14th year of Charles 11. that tile Act _o_f Uniformity now in force was passed, and it came into op ration on the memorable St. Bartholomew day, a in ct of our Lord 1662. The book of Common Prayer.anwas pre - ministration of thd sacraments as we now hareit, tries© words as sented to,Parliament by Charles tadditions which part of hii speech :—" I have transmitted the Com mon Prayer with those alterationsandConviation of the House have been presented to me by the the Act of Uniformity of Peers, with my t hat approbation.ume it will shortly be de may relate to it, so that ed assent and consent force to this hour.

I need not point out to you the solemnity and sacredness of this declaration.is avowedly It associated with the entrance upon a public ministry, marked by truth and purity, and demanding • • sincerity of heart, truthfulness of speech, and d of enouncin every form de ceit, equivocation, and by ooris g d consent P y. The assent slid are /14fei gnQdlY giVQ2l — t4at is, without any dieguiDo qr mental reservation. It is given to all, and everything contained in, and prescribed by the book of Common Prayer, so that whatever we find within the covers of that book, Calvinistic, or Armenian, Arian, or Trinitarian, or Pelagian ; whatever we find Popish in offices, and rites and ceremonies ; whatever el position there may be between articles and services, every consecrated bishop, and every ordained priest and deacon—to one and all of the doctrines and offices have given their unfeigned assent and consent, believing them as in the sight of God t 3 be all true. In ad dition to the above he must likewise subscribe to the three following articles :-Ist, That the Queen's Majesty under God is the only supreme governor of this realm. * * * As well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes, as temporal. 2d, That the book"of Common Prayer, and of ordering of bishops, priests, and deacons, containeth in it nothing contrary to the Word of God. 3d, That he acknow ledges all and every the articles, being in number 39, to be agreeable to the Word of God. The following are the words of the subscription :—" I, A. 8., do willingly and ex anima subscribe to these three articles above mentioned, and to all things contained in them." As a further security for ortho doxy and uniformity the 4th and oth canons enact as fol low :—Canon 4th, " Whosoever shall hereafter affirm that the form of God's worship in the Church of England * * contained in the book of Common Prayer * * * con taineth anything in it that is repugnant to the Scriptures, let him be excommunicated ipso facto, and not restored but by the bishop of the place, or archbishop, after his repent ance, and public revocation of such his wicked errors." And Canon sth provides, "Whosoever shall hereafter affirm that any of the 39 articles * * * are in any part sur ersti tious or erroneous, or' such as he may not with a good con-. scienco subscribe unto, let him be excommunicated." No. clergyman (and every clergyman professes to be a religious. and truth speaking man) would dare to say, after having, made these solem n declarations and subscriptions, that ha looked upon it as a great sham—that it was a mode of de ceit and lying, by which alone he could get into the Church —that he did not, and could not believe one-half of it— that in a matter of social or commercial life he would shun the doing of so vile and treacherous an act, but that he was obliged, in ord er t o get into the Church, to de h ee e ive s , tu a ud and up to t lie () ; an pre cl ach, that thehe wuausucgronesgcaitoiuos: w ould see before them a man who in the mos t solemn act of his life trifled with truth — was guilty of deceit — an d b e f ore feign, ,hene v t o e r God and man for the sake of office an d position deliberately lied. • I have, therefore, not as an act of charity, but of common justice, a right to conclude, that every bishop and archbi shop, every priest and deacon, believes as he has solemnly declared hedoes,everything in the book of Common Prayer; and that nothing therein contained is repugnant to, nor eon_ trary to the Word of God. One word generally about the Prayer Book before we beginto examine it. T am not about t i raise any objections on triffiug matters : nor have I one word to say against the style in which it is composed, It is well for the English language, that before it beeame de teriorated, it had two such treasuries in which its noble Saxon dialect could be deposited, as the English Bible and. the book of Common Prayer. Of course there are some obsolete and uncouth words that might be changed, both in the one and in the other, but these books will ever remain, alone in their grandeur, simplicity, and power. After the Acts of Parliament prefatory to the Prayer Book, comes the kalendar with the Saints' days; certainly these have "no warrant from Holy Scripture." Lucian, Fabian, and others, in January-14th of February---Valen tine: Bishop and Martyr—Bishop Blassius—and Agatha the Sicilian Virgin and Martyr—lnnocents day—Purifica tion of the Virgin Mary—thus recognising the Romish doc trine of the perpetual virginity of the mother of Jesus—tho Annunciation of our Lady—Saints' days for the Apostle s _ for St. Michael and all angels—for the Monk Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury—for Boniface—for St-Anne, mother to the blessed Virgin Mary—for Cecilia,Virgin and. Martyr—for Catherine, the same—for Lucy, the same,and many others. All these are approved by every clergyman entering the Church, however absurd, superstitious, and unscriptural ; and however papistical the model from which, they are copied. Certainly such a kalendar, and such a, superstitious observance of days, can receive no sanction from Holy Scripture. t!, The next thing is a table of the feast-days, to be tsb served in the Church of England throughout the year. Besides the Sundays there are some 29 or 30 feast-lays. Among them,—the Circumcision of our Lord, the Purifica tion of the blessed Virgin, St. Michael and all Angels, the Holy Innocents, and several others. There aro some 16 vigils to be kept, and there are fast-days, the 40 days in Lent, 12 Ember days, 3 Rogation. days, and all the Fridays in the year except Christmas day. Now, lam not reading from the Romish missal, nor any mediawal book, in force some centuries back, but from the Book of Common Prayer, used in the Established Church, in the year 1861, to which all clergymen have given their assent and consent, and which the high Anglican party faithfully carry out, but of which others are ashamed, and practically ignore the greater part of such folly and superstition. ' We now come to the Morning Prayer, and the first thing that is objectionable and unscriptural, is the absolution pronounced by the priest; but our remarks on this we shall postpone till we come to the Ordination service. "He de scended into hell" is one point in the Apostle's creed on which the clergy differ very much, as on some others, though by their assent and consent they unanimously de dare they believe it. On 13 days of the year (to-day is ono of them) the Con fession of Faith, called the Creed of St. A t h anas i us, is to be said or sung in every church or chapel throughout the kingdom. Do not misunderstand my remat ks about this Creed. lam not about to censure men for believing in what is called the doctrine of the Trinity. I understand religious liberty too well to censure any man for the exer cise of his right of private judgment, nor am I about to al lude to the endless varieties of definitions that prevail in private among the clergy on this subject. I condemn the Creed on the common grounds, on which hundreds and thousands of those condemn it, who have, nevertheless,be fore God, given their assent and consent to it. The chief grounds of condemnation are these : The wicked usurpation of authority on the part of the compilers of the Creed, in making and forging a term and condition of Salvation entirely unknown to the Holy Scriptures. Not a word from the lips of Christ, nor from the pen of one of the Apostles, sanctions this wicked and blasphemous usurpation of the Divine prerogative, of saying, as authoritative from God, what neither God nor Christ, nor the Apostles even said or hinted at. The words of the usurped authority are these (and every clergyman who uses, adopts them, and is responsiblefor ut tering them) : —" W hof oever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith : which faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly." And then, after a mass of illogical, scholastic jargon, unscriptural in its phrases and doctrine, the compilers close it with these words:—" This is the Catholic faith, which except a man keep it faithfully, he cannot be saved." Every clergyman of the Established Church has given his assent and consent to this usurpation of tho prerogative of Deity ; dictating a condition and t erm of salvation to their fellow men, unscriptural, illogical, in comprehensible, and utterly absurd. Every beneficed or officiating clergyman has this day, or he ought to have done it, pronounced unfalteringly on every Trinitarian who differs from this representation of the doctrine, and upon every one who does not believe in the doctrine, that without doubt he shall perish everlast ingly ; and again, that he cannot be saved. Where is the authority for bishop, priest, or deacon to make such a state ment ; deliberately, in the presence of God, to assume his prerogative and utter as deliberately such a terrible false hood ! Some 13,000 or 14,000 clergymen ought, by their vows, to have done this to-day. They have said they believe it ; they have given their assent and consent to it. But do they believe it? The common sense of thousands teaches them to spurn the cruelty of the Creed, its uncharitableness, and its unscriptural jargon • and they avoid the u se o f it whenever they can. They know that one part of the Creed is high Trinitarianism, and another part high Arianism. They know that its phraseology is unlike to anything in the New Testament, and that sending men to hell for ever, for nit believing what certain ecclesiastics drew up in a party warfare, is as uncharitable, wicked, and unscriptural as it is blasphemous. Who would envy the intelligence, the Bibli cal knowledge, the bigotry of the men who can honestly use this Creed ? and who would envy the conscience, the honesty, utotdoiathtteh is emselves, to theiroffice, priest'sand the opffie a c c e e a o n f d mind o o r f s e t l h o e f m b e r n e a w d , h d o , e o f l o a r r e t he t h s e ale r e assentofthe thus s o u p c g l o a hl n y s y e f n a r i t e s p e t C P re e N d , 0 t w a h f e e n w i o n ft t h h es ei r e a hnert men,—whoottt hh their God,—bitterly censure the Essayists and Reviewers.

The announcement was made y es t er day of ----- heavy Russian failure, w hi c h was reporte d so me weeks back to b e lik e l y to occur, but which was then prevente d a by the interposition of the Russian Government. The disaster comprises the houses of Messrs. W. Brandt and Sons, of Archangel; Mr. Charles Brandt, of St. Petersburg ; Messrs. Brandt Brothers, of Riga ; and Mr. Richard Brandt, of London, and the total liabilities are believed to amount to £300,000. The direct debts of the London house are, it is said, limited to £70,000. On the first occurrence of difficulties the Russian. Government advanced £lOO,OOO, but this proved insuffici— ent, and an application for further help having been un— successful, suspension became necessary, and the accounts have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. The connexion was one of old standing, and of great responsibility, but it must not be confounded with the firms of Messrs. William Brandt and Co., of St. Petersburg, and. William Brandt, Sons, and Co. (formerly E. H. Brandt, Son, and Co.), of London. The members of the latter esta blishments, although relatives of the members of the 1 fails _ firms, are entirely separate and independent.
