In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious, should resuliin sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should owlir even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. If the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations Of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou , sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting the quarter from whence assistance Is sought. Dr. LA'MERT is the only legally qualified pr ictitioner on the Medical Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to the treatment of a peculiar class of Infirmities incidental to youth and maturity.

THE CHURCH 1N DANGER. (From the Dispatch.) ' The author of our State religion is called the Prince of Peace. To show his loyalty to his spiritual Sovereign, the Rev. J. S. Brockhurst, Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, gives the Rev. Edward Dodd, Vicar of St. Giles s, " a sound thrash ing with a horsewhip." The offence of his rev. brother in the Lord was that of showing a delicate respect to the feelings of a Jew. Dr. M'Caul and his metropolitan clerical associates feel their Chris tian sympathies " outraged " by the authors of the Oxford Essays and Reviews having thought proper to think differently from themselves. Of course they at once discover that they are " infidels," and unanimously pray the Bishop of London to reveal the true Christian spirit by prosecuting, degrading, and cashiering them Behold how good a thing it is and how exceeding well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell I The meeting of Sion College, London-wall, would seek to ungown the Essayists in the spirit of the illustrious foreigner, "for their good, for all their goods"—and chattels into the bargain. We wonder which of the three travellers Dodd or Auriol really thinks was the neighbour of the man who fell among thieves ? The Samaritan was notoriously unsound in his doctrine—the priest and Levite were never caught tripping in their catechism. We are coming, we think, to "the beginning of the end" of our present system of ecclesiology. The country opens its understanding to the discovery that there is a wide distinction betwixt the making a legal provision for the religion of a country and the endowment of a creed, or the subsidising of a sacerdotal corporation. It at last sees that the piety of a people may be perfectly promoted without the enforcement of doctrinal conformity. It finds that religious affections have no necessary connexion with extravagant sinecures to a privileged hierarchy, in the view of bribing them all to think alike; and that the monopoly of the loaves and fishes conceded to the clergy of the Anglican Establishment od the assumption that they are the safest depositories of Divine truth, is an extortion of the public money under false pretences. Pray, can any man tell us why the rector of the empty parish church should be paid a thousand a year by the nation, while the minister of the crowded Methodist chapel should get nothing ? Is there any reason why the fashionable temple before which hundreds of private carriages of the rich draw up every Sunday, should be supported out of the hard earnings of the many poor who never enter it, while the poor conventicle in the back street, wherein the pinched Baptist preacher labours to reclaim the bare and ragged to society, virtue and Heaven, should have to be maintained out of the hard-earned farthings of the needy ? These queries do not imply the adoption of the voluntary prin ciple. There is nothing in our apprehension for which a State would' get a better return for its money than an ample provision for the ordinances of public worship. We pay a million out of the miscellaneous estimates for education—what [is religious culture but tuition in Divine things ? But the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. An Establishment is for the nation, not the nation for the Establishment. The State has no right to say—there is no sense in its saying— to its subjects, that they are to worship this, and not to believe in that. Faith by Act of Parliament, a statutable creed, is an intolerable and transparent absurdity. A temple and a priest inside, with all the worshipping assembly outside or over the way, is a spectacle to gods and men. Only think of the shepherd nightly huddled up in the fold, and the sheep straggling all over the moor, bleating in help less bewilderment ! Why, good heavens, what is the pen or the shepherd for but to feed and fold the flock ? If they will neither be grazed nor sheltered, why pay for what has no function without them ? We say that the endowment of conformity, even if it could effect its purpose, is an inherent absurdity. Who can say with prevailing authority that George Fox or John Wesley, Joseph Priestley or Robert Hall, were all wrong, taught what was heterodox and false, and that Jeremy Taylor or Tillotson alone were in the right ? Even if a Protestant Pope could be found at Lambeth, clothed with a political assumption of spiritual infallibility, what would be the use of his unerring authority if the people obstinately refused to recognise it ? If the Popish liturgy, the Arminian clergy, and the Calvinistic creed of Anglicanism were as theologically perfect as they certainly are not, what avails it that even " absolute wisdom" goeth about the streets, if no man regarded her ? The whole of our ecclesiastical economy, it is quite plain, is founded upon a quite untenable hypothesis—that belief is to follow the endowment, not that the endowment is to go to the belief. A Church Establishment, in fact, means distinctly that the souls of men are to frame their faith by tithes and church rates, not that the mint, and anise, and cumin are to refresh with their fragrance the souls of men. Do not Wesleyans, Independents, and Baptists need. salvation as well as Episco palians ? Are they not the Queen's subjects, alike members of the same society ? Is not the sole intelligible pretext for a State ecclesiastical provi sion that it will promote religion among the people ? Is that end to be best secured by subsidising spiritual ministrations they have abandoned, or by suppdtting those they follow ? The question answers itself, and to us no proposition can be plainer than this, either that the revenues of the Establishment should be confiscated for secular purposes, or that they should be applied rateably, not to a favoured denomination, but to every war ', shipping assembly according to its numbers: The time has arrived when Parliament and the people can no longer evade the settlement of this question. Conformity, orthodoxy, articles, creeds, and standards of faith have become an imposture, an expensive sham. "Under which King, Bezonian? Speak ! or die !" What is the Anglican faith ? What is it that we have endowed ? For which creed is it that we pay ? What articles are to be pensioned off? High Church, Low Church, or Broad Church, Anythingarians, Nothingarians, Arians, Trinitarians, or Unitarians ? Which of the two Newmans are to be followed—are we to go to mass with Archdeacon Denison, or Exeter Hall with Dean Close ; to worship with Bishop Hamp den, or excommunicate him with his dean and chapter. Which is the supralapsarian, the Bishop of Exeter or Mr. Gorham ? Where shall we go to be saved—Saint Paul's, Knightsbridge, the Temple Church, Saint George's-in-the-East, or Saint Matthew's, Bethnal-green ? We put these questions specifically on this account —that the Quarterly reviewers, who agree in nothing else, and, least of all, with the metropolitan clergy, are unanimous in the expression of their opinion that 'the Oxford essayists can no longer, consistently with the opinion they express, continue in communion with the Church of England. The National. the Westminster, the Quarterly, and the Edinburgh are all perfectly clear in the conviction that it would be inconsistent with fair dealing that these able men should remain in an office, the dis charge of whose functions to which they th hound_ themselves, they have virtually ignored. We in ho er lt: e these strictures to be dictated by squeamish prudery of a spurious scrupulosity. Listen.

The o bligation of conformity is neither moral nor spiritual, but legal. It is a statutable qualification, and must be interpreted strictly by the letter of the Act of Parliament. It is not a question of degree. There is no dilates doctrine in the Act. Not one jot or tittle of the law can pass away—all must be fulfilled. He that offends in one is guilty of all—Falsum in uno, falsuni in omnibus. No latitude is given by the Act. You must swallow the whole articles, services, homilies, canons --accept them ex animo. You are not per mitted to stray into Calvinism, but warned to avoid Popery. You are not allowed to blink the Atha nasian Creed, but prohibited from hinting a doubt of the Mosaic account of the creation. It is not open for Dr. M'Caul to say, " Oh, the doctrine of baptismal regeneration is of no consequence, but that of election or reprobation is." A legal obliga tion, involving civil penalties, must be interpreted, not discretionaily, but strictly and literally.

We regret to announce the death of the venerable Sir John Owen, of Orielton, M.P. for the Pembroke district of boroughs, wlich took place at Taynton House, on the 6th inst. Sir John was born in 1776, and was therefore in hil 85th year at the time of nis death. He was tie son of Mr. Joseph Lord, by Corbetta, daughter o' Lieutenant- Gen eral Owen, who was the second sot of Sir Arthur. Owen, third baronet of Orielton. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford B.A. 1804, M.A. 1807, according to a book pr)fessing to give an account daughter eer L. f ct bMyr2. Edward Stephenson, of Farley Hill, 1 hi s fi rs t w if e h e h a d i ssue one of county families, but ae was called to the bar un doubtedly in 1800, four years before this book admits that he took a dqree. He married first, at Gretna-green, in 1800, Charlotte, daughter of the Phillips,2l, 1830, 830 v 1: omdarieyd Frances, Sept. 1 1, se l c B o 2 n 9 d ; secondly,dßa uv son and four daughters, by his second three sons and one daughter, of whom three sons and four daughters survive him. His eldest son Hugh suc ceeds to the title and estates, Of the daughters, Charlotte married, in 1819, Mr. John Meares, of Eastington, Pembroke, and died July 2, 1852 ; Maria married, in 1830, Mr. Edward Marcus White, of Hotham, Yorkshire ; Ellen married, in 1831, Mr. G. B. J. Jordan of Pigeonsford, Cardiganshire; and Eliza married, in 1831, Mr. Charles Porcher Lang, of Sandrock, Surrey. Of the children by the second marriage, William, born in 1831, was a lieutenant in the 23d Welsh Fusiliers, and was killed in the trenches before Sebastopol June 29, 1855. Sir John is One of the veterans of Parliament. He sat for Pembroke county from 1806 to 1841, and has since 1841 represented the Pembroke boroughs. Up to 1845 he was reckoned as a Tory. In 1845, how ever, he supported the Maynooth grant, and in 1846 the repeal of the corn laws. He voted for Lord Derby's budget in 1852, but against Lord Derby's Reform Bill in 1859. He is now put down by Dod as " a Liberal," and his son and heir contested Pembrokeshire a few weeks ago on Liberal principles. Sir John has not taken an active part in debates, exeept on Welsh sub jects; as for instance, in 1830, when he determi nately opposed Sir Robert Peel in his successful measure for amalgamating the Welsh courts of judicature with the English--the opposition ema nating, singularly enough, from Welshmen, aided by Lord G. Bentinek, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Charles Wetherell, and Sir Robert Inglis. When he stood in the Conservative interest for Pembroke he was opposed not only by a Mr. J. M. Child, a Liberal, but by his own son and heir in the Conservative interest also. Since thatyear he has been unopposed. The Pembroke district comprises Pembroke, Tenby, Piston, and Milford, the first three having formed the " borough" from 1536 to 1832, when Milford was added to them. Dod says that the chief in fluence is possessed by the Owens, " who have re turned one member since the Restoration." At Wiston, however, the Earl Cawdor, an d a t Milf or d Mr. Fulke Greville, and the late Lord Milford's family, " have influence of a secondary kind." Sir John was lord-lieutenant of Pembrokeshire and governor of Milford Haven. He inherited the estates of Orielton when Mr. John Lord, a barrister at-law, on the death of his kinsman, Sir Hugh Owen, Bart., August 5, 1809, and was created a baronet, Jan. 12, 1813. The original baronetcy of the 0 wens was conferred in 1641, and became ex tinct on the death, in 1851, of Sir William Owen Barlow, who was nephew to the late Sir John's mother. Sir Hugh Owen and the late Sir John, who inherited his estates, were both great grand sons, one paternally, the other maternally, of Sir Arthur, third baronet of 1641. The Owens are said to trace their descent from Hwfa ap Cynddelw, lord of Llys, Llifon, Anglesey, who was contempo rary with Owen Gwynedd, Prince of Wales. Sir John Owen is succeeded by Hugh, his eldest son, now second baronet. He was born in 1803, and married, April 12, 1825, Angelina Cecilia, daughter of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, Bart., sister of Lord Tredegar (who died Sept. 4, 1844), and has issue by her three sons and four daughters. He sat as Conservative M.P. for the Pembroke boroughs, from 1832 to 1838, when he made way for Sir James Graham, who had been ousted from East Cumberland; Major Francis Aglionby and Mr. William James, both Liberals, being returned for the division. There is little doubt that he will succeed his venerable father in the seat. Chamber of Pee'es that h represented a defeat— " Waterloo," wad that he believed he still enter tained a hankering after the left bank of the Rhine, M. de Vincke comes to the poii it of what the best policy of Prussia should be. We give his argu ments in one sentence--- ,, A firm: alliance with Eng land." M. de Vineke then turns to the Italian question. " It ho.S been said," says M. de Vincke, " that the Penal State is an obstacle to the unity of Italy. maintain that the temporal pa wer of the Pope is baneful to the Church. It has b een said that it is in the interests of Germany tb at Austria should still hold Venetia. It is said. that German com merce will suffer by the loss of 'Venetia. The whole question may be reduced to this 1— " Italy without Venice will always be under the thumb of France, and consequently will be a con tinual cause for war in Europe, because Italy with out Venice will be an incomplete and vulnerable State, always trying to close its wounds." " As long as Venetia is not united to Italy Aus tria can always threaten Lombardy. All that we ask from our Government is not to make hasty promises in favour of Austria. The foreign policy of France, which was the same under the Republic as under the Empires in this question, proves that France had no interest in Italy acquir ing Venetia,—thae she does not deiire a strong Italy. She will offer her hand to Austria, which Austria will willingly grasp, said give her Venetia for the left bank of the Rhine." M. de Vincke concluded in th,e following words : " This is not an Italian question, it is a French question. My amendment by xi( ) means puts Italian interests on the same footing pis French interests. It is not a question' of sympathies or antipathies ; interests alone must be the guiles of policy. Gen tlemen, I hope my amendment • will be adopted." M. von Schleinitz made a Few observations in reply. He said : "As regards our relations wf.th England I may observe that England might not attach the same importance to an alliance with. Prussia unless ex tended to the whole of Germany, and unless the ' dualism' between the two great German Powers should cease to neutralize completely the influence of Germany in Europe. As regards Venetia. The question has been mooted whether Prussia, for the maintenance of that province, would throw her sword into the scale. As I have already observed that question does not touch us, - perhaps never will do so. We cannot, however, izow state our inten tions as regards the resolutions which Prussia might think fit to adopt. I wiLl confine myself to this statement that, as regards this question, Prussia has not taken any engagements whatsoever. BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Peninsular and 0:lento:A Company's screw steamship Ellora, Capt. J. K. Joy, arrived at South ampton on Saturday morning, with the heavy por tion of the above named mails, in charge of Mr. Roberts, of the General Post-office. She brought 38 passengers (of whom 17 were fir st-class), a list of whose names was published in The Sun of Thurs day, and on freight £5OO in speeie, a box of valu ables, 1,363 bales and 37 cases of silk, and 303 packages of general merchandise. The Ellora left Alexandria on. the 27th ult., Malta the 31st, and Gibraltar the 4th inst. On the 24th and 25th she was hove to off Alexandria, in conse quence of a strong north-east wind, with a heavy sea on the bar. On the 29th :and 30th, between Alexandria and Malta, she twain encountered a gale with a heavy sea, and was obliged to be hove to under close reefed maintrysadls. The strength of the gale continued for upwards of 12 hours, during which the port lifeboat was carried away. Mr. John Ward, the American Minister, from China, and Mr. H. S. Blanch ard, his secretary, landed at Malta. On the 27th ult. the Ellora pstssed the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Vectis ; Feb. 4, at 4.30 p.m., passed a Spanish gunboat, steering southeast ; sth, exchanged signals with the B:ritish bark Borelia, steering south, and the Norwegian brig Magaden. Her Majesty's ship Firefly was at Alexandria; the Queen, Renown, Agamemnon, Exmouth, Cmsar, Melpomene, Scourge, and Foxhound at Malta ; and the Orion and Argus at Gibraltar. The Orion, Capt. Frere, arrived on the morning of the 2d from the lonian Islands. Captain Hale's company of Royal Engineers em barked at Gibraltar fqr England. at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 4th inst. in the Ilimalt , ya troopship, which sailed for her destination at noon on the same day. In the absence of Capt. Hale, Lieut. M'Don nell left in command of the troops. Some invalids from the garrison also embarked in the Himalaya. The Megaara, with the Royal Artillery from Ply mouth, had not arrived up to 9 a.m. on the 4th. That part of the fifth brigade under Colonel Maberly, which was to return home to Plymouth by the same vessel, was in readiness for embarca tion. A very strong easterly wind had been blowing at Gibraltar for three or four days, and continued up to the time of the Ellora leaving. The Dutch galliot Anni China, Captain Van Vyk, from Nalles, bound to Rotterdam, lost her foretopmast by coming into collision with the jib- boom of her Majesty's ship Orion., anchored off the Ragged Staff, on the 3d inst. The British steamer Adelia, Capt. H. Caithness, arrived at Gibraltar on her return from Mogadore on the 29th ult., whither she had. gone with de spatches from the Moorish Government. The cause of her long detention at that port seas the want of fuel. A supply of wood was takem in, but, after being a day at sea, it was insufficient, and she was obliged to put back. Coals were, however, at last furnished by the British steamer Gladiator, which had arrived at that port from Cadiz. The British brig Wye was loading at Mogadore for London. Everything was quiet at Mogadore, and business beginning to revive. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Delta, Captain J. S. Field, 4 days 21 hours from Southampton, arrived from Gibraltar on the Ist inst., and proceeded up the Mediterranean after exchanging mails, &c. The British screw steamer Euphrosyne, Captain J. Peters, 11 days from Liverpool and four from Ferrol, with a general cargo. for Malta and Alex andria, arrived at Gibraltar on the 30th ult. On the 22d, in lat. 45.20 N., lomg. 8.15 W., 70 miles from the coast of Ferrol, she fell in with a full rigged ship, supposed to be a Norwegian. Captain Peters sent his chief officer osit board, and found her abandoned and waterlogged, laden with Baltic timber. No papers or docuno ents were found, but on board, on the quarter, the word " Westfold" was observed, leading to the supposition that this was the name of the vessel. She wil.s towed to the Ferrol, where she arrived on the 24th, and was left in charge of the supercargo of th,e Euphrosyne. The following outward bormd British merchant steamers had also arrived at Gibraltar :—Jan, 26, the Marco Bozzaris, Captain G. Hindhaugh, seven days from London, with a gene ral cargo for Malta and Constantinople ; 31st, the Peninsula, Captain F. Archer, 101 days from London, with Government stores and a general cargo for Gibraltar and Cadiz; Feb. 3, the Milan, from Liverpool, with a general cargo for Genoa and Leghorn. The screw steamer William a u tt left for Eng land at 5 p.m. on the 3d. The following vessels to west on the afternoon of tt.e 2d :—The British alie the Norwegian passed'. the Rock from east bark Sarepta, and the brig It c h .. brig Valkyrian, and the Au.s trian brig Ignio S.

By a majority of 159 to 146 the Prussian Cham ber has adopted the motion of M. de Vincke, that " It is not in the interest of Prussia or Germany to place obstacles in the way of the consolidation of the Unity of Italy." This vote of the Prussian Chamber has already appeared in our columns. We now subjoin the speech of the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Schleinitz, and that of M. de Vincke. Baron von Schleinitz gave the following explana tions : " As many speakers have expressed their opinion upon the Italian question, I think it right to ex plain the view taken of this important question by the Government. The Government has not the slightest motive of against Italy, against a people who once dominated the world, who have produced great things in art and science, and writ ten their names in glorious characters in the his tory of civilisation. Nor do we object that a people with such a past and so well characterised a nation ality should attempt to obtain a political conforma tion assuring that nationality, and making good , its signification. But, without depreciating in any manner whatsoever the importance of the national idea, we do not think we can attribute to it the absolute value which has been claimed for it in Italy—a value before which everything else is to give way, the law of nations as well as the right of treaties, all interests, the highest as well as the lowest. Here, with the exception perhaps of those members who do not consider themselves as at home in this country, no one will attribute so abso lute a signification to the principle of nationalities. If any one was to attempt to reconstruct the balance of power in Europe on a purely national basis, he would give the signal of an endless and sangui nary struggle. There is another principle, that of non-intervention, which we cannot admit as bind ing and applicable under all circumstances." Baron von Schleinitz then explained that the only position Prussia could assume was one of reserve. M. de Vincke then rose and spoke as follows :• Certainly there cannot be any objections made to the policy of non-intervention as explained by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is the duty of every Government to spare the blood and property of the citizens. But, such being the case, no diplomatic intervention should have been made which is in staring contradiction to the views now adopted. M. de Vincke then expressed his disapprobation of the Coblentz Note, which was totally uncalled for, and passed severe censure on the Government for allowing the Prussian Government ship the Loreley to carry despatches between Messina and Gaeta in defiance of the admitted law of non-inter vention. " There is a third fact (continued M. de Vincke) which I must dwell upon, and which is contrary to the policy of non-intervention' now admitted; Prussia, in concert with other Powers, requested the Emperor Napoleon to keep his fleet at Gaeta. What could have induced Prussia to take such a step? Humanity has been put forward as a plea. The best humanity would have been to put an end to a sanguinary struggle the only result of which can be to maintain for a few weeks more a Crown to a King who will never have his kingdom again. Prussia has not, then, been faithful to the principle of non-intervention ; she has shown herself unfavourable to Italy. Italy will never be a con quering Power, but she will contribute greatly to the preservation of the balance of Power in Eu rope. The Emperor Napoleon has said, that the greatest virtue of a people was to have confidence in itself,' and that France might tranquilly await the future, confident in her own strength and loy alty. This is equally applicable to Germany. Let us rejoice to rival France in the arts of peace. If she chooses to attack us she will find us sword in hand." After saying that the French nation were easily excited, that the French Emperor once said to the " L~/te N EWS PAPER S-`y' ? . ff ; ( 4 ,trili,tl: : .. - T;z 4 ) T remain in the Church after he ' 4 ieit'Aktti.4lG 1 -- , , in any particular of its stands Otitfi son of them all has any title to h c,e - . that is guiltless throw the first sten . F sand of them have signed a petition for revision and reform of the Services and Articles, on the express ground that they have ceased to profess them as they stand. The descent into hell, the damnatory clauses of the Athanasian Creed, the confession and absolution implied as doctrines in the service for the sick, are flatly disowned by the very men who pray the Bishop of London to un frock the Oxford essayists as apostates from the standards of the Church. The Bishop of Norwich and many other dignitaries of the Establishment have openly published their heterodoxy, and asserted that no mind can accept so many contra dictions and inconsistencies as all coherent and true. Paley confessed that he subscribed the Articles merely because he could not afford to keep a conscience. Tillotson said of the Athanasian Creed, " The Lord get us well rid of it." Dr. Parr held it up to open ridicule. Even in so cardinal a point as the Commandments the clergy enjoin from the altar the keeping of the seventh day of the week, on the ground, stated by itself, that the Lord rested on and hallowed it; while from the pulpit they stickle for the first, and openly disre gard the seventh. The truth is, there is no con formity anywhere —no, not even the profession of it—and subscription is nothing but a dodge for keeping the temporalities of the Church in the hands of Government, the great families and their toad-eaters, whose consciences are wide enough to swallow any conditions that will enable them to bolt the living, or fatten upon the benefice. We know these self-sufficient Sion College saints salve over their moral sense when they Compound for sins they aro inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to, with the convenient subterfuge that their dissent from the Articles is on minor points, while the essayists strike at the very root of the credulity of the whole Gospel dispensation. Well, the Baptists, Independents, Calvinists, Methodists, differ from the Church only on minor points—agree to the standards much more near ly th an th e clergy do to each other. Why are they excluded from the Church ?—why are Scottish episcopal ministers debarred from the pulpits of the nation ?—why are endowments withheld from orthodox Dissenters, who, according to the very argument of Dr. M'Caul, conform to the established faith as nearly as the State clergy ? But this has been always the stale trick of the Church. It first persecuted and prohibited all dis sent ; held every schismatic, even in the smallest divergence, to be an enormous sinner. When sectaries became too strong for them it sneaked up to orthodox dissent and called to it, as agreeing in all essential points, to help to persecute the Papists and Unitarians. When Unitarians grew in social influence, it was discovered that the Church, although not accepting their doctrine, could frater nise with them on the ground of a common Pro• testantism ; and last of all, when the Jews demanded of Parliament the recognition of their civil rights, it has been seen that the Church of England:that has declared Popery:to be Anti-christ, and the Scottish Kirk that in its Act of Settle ment calls the Pope " that man of sin and son of perdition," can wheedle both Roman Catholics and Unitarians to their aid, and tell them that their differences are on comparatively minor points, and that they legislate together on the basis of a com mon Christianity against those who are alleged to call its author an impostor. Now, perhaps the Sion College Sanhedrim may find that the Jews at least accept the inspiration of the Old Testament, and may fraternise with those who seek to persecute essayists who deny even that. Last of all, perhaps, we shall find when the views of the latter make way, that fortune, which makes us acquainted with strange bedfellows, will make Dr. M'Caul glad to club noses with the essayists and reviewers, to make common cause with the religion of Nature against the Atheists, Pantheists, or Buddhists.

C. Cox, M,A,, Archdeacon of Lindisfarne, from the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Durham, in reply to an address to his lordship from the Archdeaconry of Lin disfarne, on the subject-of the work entitled "Essays and Reviews," recently published : "Londoil, Feb. 4. "My dear Archdeacon,—l beg to acknowledge the re ceipt of the address from yourself, the rural dean, and the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Lindisfarne. Having felt it to be my duty to read with great care the volume of ' Es says and Reviews' to which the address alludes, I am not surprised that the hearts of honest and faithful Churchmen should burn with indignation at finding such a publication should have emanated from men professing to be minis ters of our Church. lam still less surprised that you are, as clergymen, deeply grieved at finding such doctrines can be heard from any pulpit or professional chair in our land, You say you consider it desirable that the bishops should at once proceed to vindicate the commonly received Catholic sense of the Creeds, Articles, and Formu laries. I have not failed to convey your opinion and wish to a large number of my right rev. brethren. The subject has undergone long and serious consideration. The illness of a beloved member of the family of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a telegraphic summons to him, rendered it essential to postpone further discussion. You will feel with me that any conclusion determined upon in the absence of that most rev. prelate would have lost much of its effect from the want of that weight which his wisdom and firm ness would have given to it. I feel that I should be fail ing in my duty, as your bishop, if I hesitated to express my most deliberate conviction, formed after the careful read ing of the " Essays," that a more heterodox volume could scarcely have been produced. The cautious style of the writers may possibly render it difficult to frame out of this work a case for direct legal investigation ; but no candid reader can be blind to the fact that inferentially the Atone ment is denied, miracles are explained away, prophecy is cast aside, inspiration, in the only real meaning of the term, is rejected. Under these painful circumstances, p3rmit me to express my hope that your exertions will not be limited to the issuing the address which I have now received. I feel that, as men of all shades of opinion in the Church have united in signing the address, because they are convinced of the presence, in the person of these seven essayists, of a common foe to Christian truth, so we should all unite in dedicating ourselves afresh to the service of our Divine Master. We should resolve not to allow mere externals to divide us ; but, on the other hand, a common danger to our common Christianity should make us cultivate a spirit of scriptural unity, redouble our exertions to obtain an experi mental knowledge of the Word for ourselves, to propagate the Gospel of Christ among our fellows, and maintain in the face of the world the value of the sufficiency and supre macy of the Word of God. It will be, in great measure, by our Christian earnestness and by our scriptural teaching that we shall guard the unwary from being led into paths of such dangerous speculation, and show our abhorrence of opinions which I, from my heart, consider to be not only detrimental to the best interests of morality and derogatory to the Word of God, but which are so manifestly opposed to the truth as it is in Jesus. Praying that God may bless all attempts to spread the pure Gospel of Christ through the length and breadth of the land, I am, my dear Arch • deacon, very faithfully yours, _ _ "H. MONTAGU DLNELM. " Ven. Archdeacon Coxe." THE REAL CHARACTER OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. (From the Saturday Review.) We have always taken a view of Louis Napo leon'sh character somewhat different from that which commonly prevails. He is usually supposed to a supernaturally far-sighted man, who plans long beforehand, matures them hall profoundly calculates the means necessary execution, and adheres to them through eunning, and, up to difficul ties and accidents with inflexible n in f l o s s Y r ii s t ege r s , We have always maintained, on theeo is a man of very ordinary capacity, n t t e r r a r r i y b , l et tit a the to hold the trigger world only because he happens mine—restlessly but very far from ad dicted,long- which wouldindeed , conspiracies,a destructive his calculations, wanting in a sig ce h r t t e a d in or point inventive,ie p r o f o unddagg d ecision,er e f t a h n e d somewhatarbo narlevelled infirm at him to Italy ; but he never knew promptness purpose. T h o e f sentt he would do when he got there, as his r eh e ls c a e ch n tr t leY b as .e w w tb, i a lderments have sufficiently proved The conventional view of his genius required that his conduct towards the Italians during the l as t s i x m onths should be styled " inscrutable ;" and it was styled inscrutable accordingly. But it was, in fact, only perplexed and wavering. One line of ac tion was all the time crossing another line of action, and both were marred by the complication. We do not doubt that the Emperor's head is full of schemes —the accumulation of a life of plots and of long broodings in solitary imprisonment ; but we doubt whether he has any grand plan or whether he even understands the Europe in which he is acting, and which is not that of the First Empire. He has in trigues going on everywhere—in Hungary, in Spain. in Belgium, in the Rhine Provinces, in Turkey, in Egypt, with the seditious Irish press, with a fac tious leader of the English Opposition. He strives at infinnee for himself on all sides; but we suspect that, like a magpie stealing spoons, he scarcely knows what use is to be made of all this influence when it is accumulated. SWOOP OF A HAWK ON A BREAKFAST TABLE. —On Thursday morning week, as Mr. Duncalfe, of Pirton, near Wolverhampton, was sitting with his family at break fast, a hawk dashed against the window of the room with such violence that a large pane of plate- glass was shivered into a thousand fragments, several pieces striking Mr. Duncalfe on the forehead, which was cut, but not seriously. The bird fell in a d Ong state upon the breakfast table. What makes the circumstance the more remarkable is, that this is the third time, within a few years, that Mr. Dun calfe's windows have been broken in the s ame way, n each_ . case ending in the death c tae hawk.—Stafordslarc s vertiser. r of is nu; ned ,bo tn.- Lt as 788 a for qr.; 68s, last Bar sold )623 )44s )308 al ea ) 26s 56s -8 48s hich hate ) 44s ) 60a orrii
