Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal family will not visit Ascot this week, in consequence of the death of the Duchess of Kent. The meeting commences to-morrow, and extends over four days. The programme embraces thirty-four events —Tuesday numbering eight, Wednesday nine, Thursday eight, and Friday nine. The Ascot Stakes, the Gold Vase, and the Queen's Stand Plate are the principal stakes on the first day. Wednesday will be a quiet day, the Royal Hunt Cup being the principal feature, invariably commanding a large field. Thursday will be the grand day of the meeting, owing to the attrac tion attached to the Ascot Cup, though the withdrawal of the 11 izard has materially weakened the interest that would have been excited had he have met his old antagonist, Thormanby ; yet, should St. Albans prove sound, a fine struggle may be looked for, as the latter beat the former for the St. Leger. The New Stakes will also add to the strength of the day's sport, as the winner generally turns out a thorough racer. Friday, the off-day, will be enjoyed principally by sportsmen, as it is free from the noise and excitement of the million, and should the weather prove fine a prosperous meeting may be calculated on. For the Ascot Stakes 44 horses entered, but. only one half has accepted, the top weight being Meorcock, who has the steadying weight of 9st 21b. From his victory at Bath he ought to run forward. Pretendant I have a great fancy for, and no doubt he will form one of the first flight at the finish. Optimist, from his easy defeat of Lupus, who after wards ran a d ea d h ea t w i t h U mp i re, i s a l most certa i n to get a situation. Horror last year ran well over this course, but his perf ormances this year have been wretched. Pre dictor is a good horse, but I do not think this is his journey, or I would not be against him. Dilkoosh and East Stanley are both in the same stable, and I would give the preference to the former., Danae is Well in, and as she can travel the distance, may get placed. Calpe and Prince Imperial are both in Godding-'s stable, but, I shall trust to the latter. Conscript ran second for this race last year, but he has had rather a" fishy" appearance in the market for the last two or three days ; but if he is backed in earnest again, I would select him alone to beat the field. Knightsbridge, Juno, and Weatherproof will turn out the best of the light weights. I shall look to one of the light division furnishing the winner, which I anticipate will be WEATHERPROOF or PRINCE IMPERIAL, followed by OPTIMIST and PRETENDANT. It is reported that General Butler is awaiting reinforcements at Fort Munroe, and -that immedi ately on their arrival an attack- will be made on Norfolk. The New York Press interprets the Queen's Pro clamation as a quasi recognition of the Southern Confederacy. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says that the Federal Government is about to make an important movement on Western Vir ginia. The New fork herald states that Cortinas has organised a large fort of Mexicans for the invasion of Texas. It is reported that large numbers of Confederate troops continue to concentrate at Richmond. LATEST. One federal regiment has landed at Acyid Creek without opposition. The Washington correspondent of the Commer cial Advertiser states that it is believed that federal troops were moved from the West on Harper's Ferry last night. The steamship New York, from Southampton, has arrived out. NEW YORK, MAY 30 (by telegraph to Halifax). New Orleans is now blockaded. The federal troops have taken possession of Grafton, Western Virginia. Large bodies of Pennsylvanian troops are moving towards Harper's Ferry. Reinforcements continue to leave New York for Fort Munroe. The Gold Vase has not only a more numerous but a bet- ter entry than last year, as it includes the winner of the St. Leger (St. Albans), the fourth in the Derby (Aurelian), the fourth in the Oaks (Silverhair), besides Klarikoff and Royallieu, and five others, all winners besides. The weights stand thus :—St. Albans, 4 years, 9st 61b; Cantine, 5 years, Bst 121 b ; Ebony, 4 years, Bst 101 b ; Parmesan, 4 years, Bst 101 b ; Klarikofi, 3 years, 7st 71b ; Lupus, 3 years, 7st 71b ; Royallieu, 3 years, 7st 31b ; Aurelian, 3 years, 7st 31b ; Sporting Life, 3 years, 7st 21b ; and Silverhair, 3 years, 7st 21b. Royallieu and Aurelian have both an allowance of 41b, and as Klarikoff will be an absentee, I shall expect one of them to furnish the winner, their only dangerous op- Ponent being Cantinc. There is an excellent entry for the Stand Plate, which will furnish one of the best races of the meeting. Amongst the speedy animals in the heavy division are Miss Julia, Twilight, and Hesper, and the light weights will be repre sented by Wingrave, Marignan, and Buckstone. The win ner I expect will be WINGRAVE or MARIGNA N. In the absence of St. Albans for the Ninth Triennial Stakes, the next besi is King of Diamonds. The Ascot Derby will go to Lord Stamford with Imaus. The Fourth Ascot Biennial will be a match between Carisbrook and Buckstone, the latter for choice. There are 91 horses engaged in the Royal Hunt Cup. To attempt to pick the winner would be almost impossible. The winner, I anticipate, will be found in the following lot :—Cheesecake, Sir Hugh, Lava, Anthem, Rockley, and The Fernhill Stakes cannot fail to go to Marignan, and the Selling Stakes to Little Drummer. The Third Ascot Biennial will be carried off by Dio phantus. If Queen of the Vale has improved on her Oaks form, she should have no difficulty in disposing of her opponents in the Coronation Stakes. The Gold Cup will bring out a very small field ; and from the way they back Thormanby, it would seem to be all over but shouting. No doubt Thormanby is entitled to the premiership in the betting, but I think Aurelian and Royallieu will give him some trouble to shake them off at the finish. The principal race already closed after the Cup is the New Stakes, which, like the Biennial, has obtained the largest entry since its establishment, no fewer than G 4 two year olds being nominated. The principal performers likely to take part in the race are—Wingrave, Buckstone, Carla brook, and Ross; and if Buckstoile has any pretensions to be at 15 to 1 for next year's Derby, he ought to be success ful on this occasion. The 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes should go to Big Ben, followed by Cashio and Prudence. The other events are of no importance. • A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT ASCOT.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—SATURDAY. For the Ascot Gold Cup, 5 to 4 was laid on Thormanby, and one or two small amounts were put on Royallieu and St. Albans. Very little was done on the Royal Hunt Cup. The Ascot Stakes was the principal business of the day, upon which speculation was for some time very lively. Weatherproof, Jackal, and Optimist were very freely sup ported, and a small price was taken against Pretendant. Prince Imperial and Moorcock receded a little. Conscript also fell off, for from having been supported at 7 to 1, he went back to 100 to 5 (offered), but towards the close his friends rallied and supported him at 10 to 1 (taken.) The Prince and Moorcock nearly recovered their position, while Dickoosh who had been backed at 9 to 1, finished at 16 to 1 (offered.) We did not notice anything being done on the Northumberland Plate.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTI TUTION. A meeting of this institution was held on Thurs day at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., Alexander Boetefeur, Esq., Captain Wash ington, R.N., F.R.S. (hydrographer of the Ad miralty), Colonel Palmer, Sir Edward Perrott, Bart., Admiral Bullock. Mr. LEWIS, the Secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Lieut. Dyer, R.N., and Mr. George Farrin, gunner of her Majesty's ship Ajax, in testimony of their intrepid services, in conjunction with many others who:had been previously rewarded, in saving life from the brig Neptune, of Whitehaven, which was wrecked off Kingston on the 9th of February last. Lieut. Dyer had been twice swept away by the surf, but was providentially saved, and Mr. Farrin received, on that disastrous occasion, a serious wound on the head from which it was said he still suffered. The silver medal of the institution was likewise presented to Mr. John Large, master gun ner in the Royal Artillery, in acknowledgment of his brave exertions in wading into the surf at the peril of his life and aiding to rescue three out of seven of the crew of the schooner Harmony, of Waterford, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was wrecked in Freshwater West Bay, near Milford. A reward of £2 was granted to Charles Gilbert, fisherman, of Sutton-bridge, on the Lincolnshire coast, for his prompt and very laudable services in rescuing, at considerable risk of life, four men, whose boat, during squally weather, h a d sun k, placing her cr ew in a most dangerous position. Gilbert observing the accident, pushed off imme diately to their help, and arrived at the spot just in time to save them from a watery grave. A reward of .£l3 was also voted to the crew of the Arklow lifeboat, belonging to the institution, for pulling off, in reply to signals of distress from two vessels, which had, however, afterwards got out of danger. It often happens that a vessel has a signal of distress flying, and that there is every reason to suppose her in extreme danger, when the lifeboat's crew are quickly at their posts, but they go off only to find on arriv a l a t th e vessel that, by a change of wind, or other unforeseen cause, she has escaped the danger, and that the services of the lifeboat are not required; yet the crew of the latter may have to incur as much risk in going out and returning to the shore through a heavy surf as if they had returned freighted with a shipwrecked crew. Such services are, indeed, sometimes of the most trying description that the lifeboatman is called on to encounter, as all the dangers and ex posure which he may have undergone have been to no purpose. Yet in such cases it will not do to hang back until it is certain that the shipwrecked crew are in the last extremity, for it would then too often happen that the far greater disappoint ment and grief would be experienced of seeing the vessel and her crew enguiphed, when the means of safety were already on their way, but too late to be of auy avail. A reward of I:12 was likewise granted to a num ber of poor fishermen of Blasket Island, on the e e x o a e s r t t i o o f Kerry, f n sinrescuoirn rescuing i very 5 r person la s u fr d o a m ble a a b n oa d t h b u e m ion an: ing to the ill-fated ship Middlesex, of New York, which during a fearful gale of wind had been aban doned in a sinking state, with 53 persons on board, in the Atlantic, in March last. After enduring great suffering on the ocean for many days, the poor shipwrecked men were ultimately observed by the islanders, who found them in a most exhausted state, and brought them ashore at much risk of life, two of the sufferers falling dead on reaching the land. The survivors were taken into the cot tages of the islanders and treated most kindly by them for several days, during which period it was found impracticable to communicate with the main land. It was reported that the Institution had sent en Wednesday a large lifeboat, 35 feet long, accom panied by a transporting carriage, to Selsey, on the Sussex coast. The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company had readily given thew a free conveyance over their line. Some members of the Society of Friends and others had contributed £lBO towards the cost of the lifeboat, which amount had been collected by Mr. IL B. Wilkinson, and Mr. Joseph Beck. _. The Institution h a d also lifeboats ready to be forwarded to Campbeltown, in Scotland, and St. Ives, in Corn wa ll, an d o th ers were building for several other places. manufactured It was stated that the society its lifeboat stations with barometers, days ytsheagmoo a s most by Negretti and Zambra, and Observatory, Green- Mr. Glaisher, of the Royal make them witho which ut difficulty the daily indications out erifi continued e as t usualo sap p b l y y serviceable t owfitehhe. instrumentsT i charts, a o r n e difficulty intelligible and servi of heldinstitution, to the he to offer th • s p t e a c t t i o o r n of f of lifeboats, t h e io Guernsey, it deci ded _ _ noted , t . - institution, new lifeboat, w illiterate A t a p o o l.) the tihe e coast.pian meetin g of A his r eportrec ere c e n t r visita s read t o from the lifeboat ins paymmts, amounting to n coast, all of which various ilsifeobnoat establishments.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1861. dress, and one goes so far as to prohibit the wearing of a wrought night-cap ; and the 72d canon expressly-provides that without a licence from the bishop no clergyman shall attempt on any pretence whatever either of possession or obsession by fasting' and prayer, to cast out any devil or devils, under pain of the imputation of imposture or cosen age, and deposition from the ministry." Surely some change is necessary to - prevent men giving their assent and consent to such ridiculous and obsolete opinions. How different would be public opinion, both of the bishops and clergy, if they were known to be honestly at work endea vouring to bring the Articles into harmony with the New Testament, and revising the Canons so that they might be of use to regulate the affairs of the Church. But they are not, as they think, in a position to do-it. The time is not distant when it must be done. The coming s proceedings in the Court of Arches will show the necessity. Many will read the Essays, and wonder why the anthqs should be exposed to punishment, *bile their own consciences tell them that they in some things are farther from the Articles than •the Essayists. Public attention will be called to topics of the deepest theological interest Men not accustomed to ecclesiastical reading will study the peculiarities and 'eccentricities of the Prayer Book, and the conviction will gain in force and depth that for the relief of the clergy, as an act of justice to Christianity, and to harmonise the National Church with the intelligence of the peoPle of England, there must be both a revision=-and a-reform: It may be said, that it is commonly considered that the greater part of . the Prayer Book is not to be received as in the days of Charles 11., that it is to be unddrstood in a mo dified sense, where itis:not absolutely repudiated : and that no one now thinks of believing in the obsolete ritual, and dogmas of a former time. ' Is this honest ? Are not the the terms of subscription the same ? Have not the Bishops opposed, and do , taey not continue to oppose even the slightest revision of the Prayer Book, and of the terms of subscription ? Is not the system of falsehood, which is up held and enforced by subscription, a national disgrace ? Is it less so, because # is , tkp a l : aily work of ,religious men— the teachers of our natiliarthristianity ? How can the doctrines, the creeds, and the dogmas be obsolete when tcey are daily brought before the people in the various ser vices—and universally submitted for the belief of every candidate before he can be ordained ? Admitting they are prescribed by authority, is it light, that men should say they believed them, when they do not ? that they will ob serve and teach them when they do not ? If the question be put !respecting Popery and Papal priests, the Protestant makes short work of giving an answer. And so would we We sometimes :talk of men being before the age : but in this matter we are sadly behind it. Some five centuries since John de Wycliffe uttered the following noble senti ment in a letter to the Pope :—" I take as a part of faith that no man should follow the Pope, no, nor any saint that is now in heaven, but inasmuch as he followed Christ; for James and John erred, and Peter and Paul sinned. "If this be true why should English priests of the 19th century be sworn to obey the decrees, doctrines, and ceremonies deter mined by 'a corrupt and tyrannical monarch, a sycophant convocation, and a slavish parliament ? And if the chains they are wearing chafe their flesh, and the rust on them irritates ,their wounds, are the bishops of the present day to try and rivet those chains, more_closely to the galled and wounded body ? The hereditary principle in the epis copacy is the same : greedy after ecclesiastical law and power. Lord Chatham in one of his noble defences of Eng lish liberty, satirically said, turning to the bishops in the House of Lords—" If I had a doubt upon the matter, I should follow the example set us by thd'raost Rev. Bench, with whom I believe it is a maxim when any doubt in point of faith arises, or any question of controversy is started, to appeal at once to the greatest source and evidence of our religion, I mean the Holy Bible I" The Biathep of Salis bury does not believe in this, and practically ignores Jesus and the Apostles, and upholds Charles, his Ecclesiastical Convocation, and his Parliament. • It is said that the Esaayists have transgressed the bounds prescribed by these authorities. And why should they not ? Is the state of Biblical criticism only what it was in the time of Charles ? Is the state of science the same ? Have we no more theological knowledge than we had 200 years ago ? Are there no changes in men's views of civil and religious liberty ? And is it because an educated gentleman is a priest of the National Church that he must walk in theruts of King Charles, and think in harmony with the ecclesias tical statutes and dogmas of that period ? Can there be a more weighty and just argument for the thorough reform of the Church establishment, than its want of harmony with the Scriptures, and with the spirit of truth and just liberty required by a free nation in all that relates to its religious interests and welfare ? If we take the Prayer Book as the acts of Parliament require it to be taken, as the declarations Made by the clergy, honestly made, must be understood, then it is not possible from the laws of the human mind and the multifarious contents of the book that one bishop upon the Bench, or one clergyman in the Church, can believe every part of it. • The high Anglican glories in the offices, and repudiates the Articles—the low Churchman delights in the Articles, and ignores the offices. The former keeps the saints' days, and the latter ungratefully passes by them as if they were not in the calendar ho has promised to observe. The Essayists are outspoken, and so were some of the bi shops before they attained the episcopal mitre; but that orna ment has a magic power. It does not prevent a bishop frm doing imprudent and rash things, but it soothes his mind, renders him less curious, less anxious about the truth, bet ter satisfied with things as they are, and very irritable with any one who thinks as frankly and writes as honestly as he once did. We may reeeive it as a fixed truth, that persecution for reli gions opinions and free theological thought, is not approved by the intelligent, educated, and liberal classes of English society. The persecutor must claim infallibility ; if not, the opinions he is trying to suppress may be truth, which men will one day universally receive. A very remarkable paragraph has just appeared in what the editor considers to be one of the most liberal papers of the age. He considers himself to be the model and cham pion of religious liberty. In the true spirit of infallibility, he approves and glories the Bishop of Salisbury for ap • pealing to the Court of Arches in the case of the Essayists. The paragraph is headed " Right at Last," and the editor of the British Standard —the popular Non-Conformist jour nal, thus writes in the year of grace 1861 :—" Let the bi shops avail themselves of all the means at their disposal for uprooting error and heresy ; if they succeed, well; if other wise, let them proceed to the Legislature for fresh powers. It is not to be endured that men occupying the highest places of the Establishment should be suffered to go on preaching,writing, printing and publishing what they please, although it involves the very vitals of Christianity. We congratulate the Bishop of Salisbury therefore on his deci sion, and have no doubt that the results will be satisfactory The court that should support the seven would deserve to •be instantly annihilated: , The editor of the Re cord copied the paragraph into his columns, and notorious as he is as a persecutor, a garbler of quota tions, and as an unscrupulous opponent, and glad as he would be to endorse anything by the editor of the British Standard, his faith failed him, and his want of accuracy, as usual, was conspicuous. He gave what went before the sen tence I will re-quote, and what followed after it, but not a mark or a sign that he had omitted it, being ashamed of it himself and unwilling to degrade his brother editor among the readers of the Record. The words omitted were, , 4 The court that should support the seven would deserve to be in stantly annihilated." No one in reading the paragraph in the Record would imagine that such an immortal sentence had been omitted. I censure not the editor of the British Standard for these sentiments ; he has a perfect right to ex. press and publish what he thinks on religious liberty and on theological subjects. I admirehis honesty, andregret that the en Essayistsarg e d and ifit if he did not live three o r five c enturies back. He clearly ap proves of ecclesiastical courts for theological opinions. If would do justice to them have violated no law—that what h to none of th e A rt i cles, that they ttthheeyfr s houl d C h ave hopau°vwr te determinesp writtenrfscommittedbAe d he rlcihneisist e they should h no contrary offence a gainst Rubrics or C anons , then (says the greatest champion of religious lib er ty now living) that Court would deserve to be instantly annihilated. It is five centuries since, this very year, that John de Wycliffe was elected Master of Baliol College,—" THE MORNING STAR OF THE REFORMATION." Supp ose th e n of ag essor of the period paragraph from the British Standard had w b ow ee d n h w i i t i v t e te b n ee a n t champion of the hr the Oxford Professor wos thathlcuel shouted ehe time, asoi:av w mseti h vace a t ari matins a fsha c aai h ytnh o od r . buTesehonef vespersat o h s x a cf n faoo k lrrm s de g ua i p vi cs of the present day, whose Essay has been so abused and misrepresented. Wycliffe was intent upon the people pos sessing the Scriptures; and five centuries afterwards Jowett is intent upon the right interpretation of them. Both of these men have had to pay the penalty of their honest advocacy of what they believed to be the truth. The spirit and principle of the paragraph I have quoted would, had it been possible, have crushed the Reformation by the strong arm of ecclesiastical law : thank God that five centuries since ecclesiastical law could not triumph, nor will it, nor can it now. There was another man, not a professor at Oxford, who flourished about three centuries after Wycliffe. Every element of true nobility was in his nature; his gifts for the work he had to do were of the highest order, and his power over his mother tongue enabled him to employ those gifts for the benefit of all future generations. There were infallible men at that time, as now, who denounced him because he differed from them. They acted upon the advice revived in the British Standard. " They availed them selves of all the means at their disposal for uprooting (his) error and heresy,"—there was no need of " fresh powers," —what existed doomed him to twelve-and•a-half years' confinement in Bedford jail, but he went on " writing, print ing, and publishing," and when a milder ecclesiastical regime was established under James, ,John Runyan was liberated, and continued to propagate his "heresies" until the • time of his death. And what is thought of him now? What is thought of his persecutors and of the ecclesiastical law that de pived him of his, liberty ? So recently as last Monday evening (May 27) a public - meeting was held, presided over by Lord Shaftesbury. The chair Bunyan used to sit in was on the platform, and it was intended on that occasion it should be occupied by the chairman ; but Lord Shaftesbury declined to occupy it, saying " that.he thought no man in England was worthy to fill it ; so far as he was concerned it should remain vacant." Now, mark the judgment of pos terity upon Bunyan's heresy—Lord Shaftesbury said, "By God's immediate inspiration, or something very close upon it, Bunyan had produced a book, which, after- the Bible, had conferred greater benefit on every class of society than any other that had ever been written." Yet the author of this book, by the ecclesiastical law now invoked upon the Essayists, suffered imprisonment for twelve and a half years. It is not reported that Lord Shaftesbury, who is among the persecutors of the Essayists, said one word about Bunyan's imprisonment and persecution by the Church of which his lordship is a member. It was in the year 1660 (two years before the" Act of Ifni ' formity came into operation) that Bunyan was first impri poned, and when that act took effect, about 2,000 clergymen, 'rather than give their assent and consent to the Book of Common-prayer, resigned their livings, and with 'their fami lies were cast - upon the world for conscience sake. There ever relive d. among T t h h e e m p r s a o y m e r e b o o f 0 tkh to e w n o h b i e l t t h e a y n d b couldest men that not con . form was the same as is now used ; the terms and the form and manner of subscription were the same then as now— they could not tamper with truth--4hey would not pawn 'their manly honesty—they could not pollute their con sciences—but casting themselves upon the providence of God they went forth not knowing whither theywent. The late Dr. Richard Winter Hamilten t thus eloquently refers to these truly honest men—" They were compelled to admit the incompatibility-of an Establishment with the lights of private judgment and conscience. They had passed through many ordeals before, and each one purified them. It is impossible to reprobate in proper phrase their wrong. None could even doubt their learning, their worth, their religiousness. These were their offenses. If firm as a rock, they were serene as a star. Never was there a more transcendent spectacle I their dis tant spires receded from their eye ; their gray hairs braved the storm ; their conscience was their all * * We could not have spared the spectacle. Our world is too poor in such examples of sacrifice not to have needed this. The his tory of 'those times is too dark for perusal but for such relief.' Of course they were branded as heretics, and whenever the mild and gentle powers of the ecclesiastical courts could be brought to bear upon them, " for the health of their souls,"—those powers were invoked. Ecclesiastical law was at that time, by the many, thought to be, as it is now by the few, a cure for heresy. We expect such notions to flourish in the church of Rome, but not in the Church of England ; and we are not surprised if we find them advo cated in a French, or Spanish, or Roman newspaper ; but we are amazed when we see them dishonouring the columns of a Nonconformist journal. We have now finished the work which we undertook tr do. The injustice, misrepresentation, and slander heaped upon the Essayists by the bishops and clergy, and a small section of the Dissenters, compelled us, having read the volume, to state our convictions both as to its truths and errors. We are grateful for its publication. It will prove a great defence and bulwark in behalf of true Christianity. It will reclaim multitudes of sceptics. The matters that are not essential will be regarded in their proper light, while those that are essential will be revived in all the force in which Jesua placed them before mankind. The religion of Jesus has been too long overlaid with creeds and ceremonies. The Christianity of the Now Testament must come forth and claim its proper authority in the human heart. We hail this volume as one great means to this end. Seeing the state of the clergy relative to the Essays and Reviews, and hearing their charge against the Essay ists, that they have not faithfully kept their ordination vows, we were led to ask and to answer the qustion, " What is it that a clergyman of the Church of England is required to believe ?" We have answered it in the last three discourses. We owe it to the bishops and clergy that we have had to do this work. Had they been quiet and wise, the Essays and Reviews, like their prede cessors, would have disturbed no one. As it is, they have challenged the intelligence and Christianity of thousands of persons, both in and out of the Church, and they have re sponded to the call. Now, the appeal is to the ecclesias tical courts : should it fail, the disgrace to the Church of England will be deeper than ever : should it succeed, it win over to the views of the Essayists thousands of per sons who will feel that truth cannot be dependent on ecclesiastical law, and a favourable verdict will but con-' vince them of the truth of what has been so vituperatively denounced. For ourselves we are satisfied that the works of God in his universe and the truths of. his Divine reve lation, irrespective of the errors of men, will vindicate themselves, and prove to be harmonious, while just liberty and true piety will ever be allied in exploring the one, and investigating the other, and like the alliance of God, of nature, and of revelation, will prove to be immutable, immortal, as fixed as the firmament of . heaven. I conclude in the words of Bunsen. He says :—" I know full well that an author who attacks conventional opinions on which prejudices and interests have been largely built, exposei himself to malignant attacks, mis. statements, and misunderstandings, rather from what he says, than from his maintaining with prudent reserve com- • _ _ plete silence upon such important questions. I cannot, however, see how such a reserve is to be justified, even on the purest motives, if we consider the gravity of our times, and the sacredness of the public duty imposed on those who communicate their convictions upon such momentous sub jects. I would venture to say on my own behalf, after forty years of meditation and reserve, or silence, that I know in whom 1 believe, and that I believe what I know and say. To those who are wedded to contrary opinions, or are restrained by doubts and fears, I wish the same in ternal conviction to which meditation and study have led me upon religious subjects, and the same peace of mind which has resulted from that conviction." THE WITHDRAWAL OF MR, DUNLOP FROM PESTI'. PESTII, May 31.—Mr. Dunlop, who has resided for seven months here at Pesth, and has been treated with much distinction by our highest circles, is, as we have just learnt from Vienna, to our regret, to take his definitive departure in a few days from the Hungarian capital. Our correspondent writes as follows :—" Vienna, May, 30.—1 have just learnt from a perfectly sure source that, in consequence of the repeated and urgent requests of Count Rech berg, addressed to the English Government, Mr. Dunlop, the Secretary of the British Embassy, who has resided in your city for some months, will leave his post there in the course of next week, My informant adds that Count Rech berg probably considers the recent expressions of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons in favour of Hungary as the result of Mr. Dunlop's sympathizing reports from Hungary, and for that reason renewed his often-repeated request in the most urgent manner, so that Lord John thought it best to yield. Mr, Dunlop will now again resume his duties at the Embassy here." So far our Vienna correspondent. If his announcement be true, and we have not the slightest reason to doubt its authen ticity, it is another proof of what path the Austrian Ministry has now entered on. We should like to address only two questions to its leader :-I.Does Count Rechberg believe that the presencehere of Mr. Dunlop encouraged the Hungarian move ment ? We should think that it must at last have become evident to everybody in Vienna and elsewhere that we cannot, and may not, abandon our legal basis ; and that to this end we do not require any external encouragement. Besides, Mr. Dunlop's expressions, as far as we have learnt, have been chiefly of a nature to discourag e th ose who drew foreign notions into their calculations. If, for that reason, the Vienna statesmen are really apprehensive of Mr. Dunlop's influence on the aspect of affairs here, then those are not so far wrong who are convinced that on the other side of the river Leitha (at Vienna) they would be glad if the men here of the " legal-passive resistance" were to give place to the" men of action," f or i n t hi s respect the Vienna Ministers might certainly have to complain of Mr. Dunlop, who, as we know, never in any conversation concealed his anxiety lest the move ment might overshoot the mark—go too fast and too far. 2. Or rather has Count Rechberg to fear the influence which Dunlop's reports on the move ment have exercised on the •English Ministry ? Then it would be very difficult, not to say impossi ble, for Count Rechberg to close all the sources of information to Lord John Russell which present themselves to him in lieu of Dunlop's reports. France has no representative here, and yet we fre quently find extremely well informed letters from this place in the Moniteur, and we have only lately heard from Paris that the Emperor has received de tailed communications from here. Can Count Rechberg really think seriously, in the second half of the 19th century, of cuttinroff the possibility of a foreign Government receiving accurate informa tion about a movement like the Hungarian P Pesth Lloyd.

THE ESSAYS AND REVIEWS. (Prom the Brightoti Observer.) The following is the third and last Supplemental Dis course, delivered in Christ Church, New-road, by the Rev. Robert Ainslie, on Sunday, the 2d June : "WHAT IS IT THAT A CLERGYMAN OF THE ESTAB LISHED CHURCH IS REQUIRED TO BELIEVE ? Matthew, 15th chapter, 12th and 13th verses : " Then Came His disciples and said unto Him, knowest thou that the• Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying? But He answered and said, every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up." Acts of the Apostles, 20th chapter, 33d and 34th verses : "I have coveted no man's silver or gold, or apparel : yea, ye yourselves know that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me." 2d Corinthians, 6th chapter, 4th to 10th verses :—" In all things approving ourselves as the Ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watch ings, in &stings by pureness, by knowledge, by long suf fering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report : as deceivers/ and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying, and behold we live ; as chastened, and not killed ; as sor rowful, yet always. rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich : as having nothing, yet possessing all things." There has recently been published a new translation of the gOspels of Matthew and Mirk, accompanied by a learned, critical commentary. The author is Lancelot Shadwell, Esq., (late fellow of St. John's College, Cam bridge.) Shortly after its publication, he was borne to his grave. Such was its boldness of appeal and invective in refer ence to the bishops and the hierarchy that it has been sup pressed, and a copy of it cannot be obtained. I will give you onb specimen from the commentary on the first test 12th 'verse. Referring to the Pharisees taking offence at what Jesus said, Mr. Shadwell says—" The High Church men did not like being brought to book. It is so at the present day. The Churchman will speak from the pulpit where he has all the talk to him elf ; but if any reader of Scripture will call his attention to the written Word of God, and point out some of the monstrous falsehoods in the Prayer-book, the Churchman will immediately endeavour to slink out of the discussion." This is strong language for a man who has held a fellowship in St. John's College, CaMbridge, and who was the son of a Vice-Chancellor of England. He has 411$ his testimony to what he believed to be the truth, and has now entered upon his rest. To, my mind the words of Jesus, in the 12th verse, c mvey a great gospel truth. It is good to read on such authority that all error shall be rooted up; we receive it as gospel or glad tidings. It has been very largely fulfilled, but there is a great work to be done among Christians in respect to insti tutions, offices, titles, and hierarches, with their flagrant abuses; and the time will come when the truth of Jesus will be vindicated—" My kingdom is not of this world." The means by which these great results will be achieved will not be by the dignitaries, the councils, nor the synods of any Church. They are obstructive to all advancement. If you will try and consolidate their system, extend their hierarchies, increase their power, they will exalt you; but seek to spread the simple truths of the New Testament— use the mental freedom God has given you to comment on the words of Jesus and the written revelation; and unless in the Popish Church you harmonise with the creeds—and unless in the Protestant Churches you do the same, you must expect slander, malice, and •vituperation in every form. Nevertheless, it is true that every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. We have now to refer to the service for the " Consecra tion of Bishops and Archbishops," to the Articles, and to the Canons, and we shall learn in reference to these" What it is that a clergyman is required to believe." I pass by the dress of a bishop before and after his consecration ; I make no comment upon his titles ; but when the " most rev. father in -God, the archbishop, demands the king's mandate for the consecration of a bishop," my attention is arrested, and I ask, is it a part of Christianity, is it an institution of Jesus Christ, that men like Henry VIII., Charles IL, and George'lV. should issue mandates, after having selected some favourite in order to promote him, that he may be consecrated a bishop in the church of Jesus Christ ? Did Jesus Christ inteni an irreligious prime minister of an im moral and debauched monarchto elect bishops inhis Church, and the monarch to command their consecration ? Is not this "one of the strange doctrines" that priests and bishops should drive out of the Church ? Is not this a part of the ecclesiastical polity of the Church of England to which archbishops and bishops, priests and deacons, give their assent and consent ? Can anything be more corrupt than such a ioUrce for the selection of bishops ? It is well known that for writing a political pamphlet a man has been made a bishop—for services rendered through the support of mem bers of the House of Commons a man has been made a bishop—as a reward of tutorship to the children of a mis tress, and through the influence of that mistress, a man has been made a bishop.' Such things in connection with the religion of Jesus areiniquitous and atrocious; and that they have happened during the present century cannot be denied. As in the " ordination of priests," so also in the consecra• tion of bishops—the archbishop; and bishops charge this nominee of the king to "receive the Holy Ghost," and they say, "stir up the grace of God which is given thee by this imposition of our hands." In what light can this appear to those who have been behind the scenes P They look upon it as a piece of politico-ecclesiastical humbug—other persons, seriously disposed, wish in deep sorrow to throw a pall over the whole act, whilst others 'aught outright and treat the dramatis persona) with contempt. Is there nothing in this contrary to the Word of God? To the simple and beauti ful religion of Jesus? Would it not meet with the approval of the whole kingdom, if the bishops were deter mined to deliver the Church from such folly and wicked ness so provocative of contempt for and unbelief in every thing bearing the namo of religion? But I have not time to enlarge upon this unscriptural service. On the two sub jeclis—lnspiratton and Miracles—there is neither rubric, Canon, nor Article; so That anything written by the Essayists on these topics, however much it may be opposed to prevalent opinions, taught by the clergy, cannot be con sidered as a violation of any law or Article to which they have given their assent and consent. The only exception, which we shall presently refer to, is, that no devil is to be expelled without the license of the bishop. In his Majesty's declaration, prefatory to the Articles, it is distinctly said " that no man hereafter shall either print or preach to draw 'the article aside any way, but shall sub mit to it in the plain and full meaning thereof, and shall not put his own sense or comment to be the meaning of the article, but shall take it in the literal and grammatical • sense." This is a galling chain to thousands of ministers of the Church of England. There are 39 Articles and 141 Canons. To suppose that these, drawn up three centuries since, can be approved and agreed to as is required is absurd. Continual doubk scepticism, mental warfare, and conviction of positive error, lead to mental compromise and reserva tion, and to struggles for liberty which in the present state of ecclesiastical law must be ineffectual. The articles are not drawn up in the words of Scripture, but in scholastic phraseology. If under every heading of a chapter, texts alone had been collected and arranged, it would have been a method at once scriptural and unobjectionable to every believer in Christianity. But it is not so. They are Gen sidered to be strictly Augustinian and Calvinistic to the annoyance of thousands of the English clergy. I have not time to mention even the titles of the articles and canons. I will quote the 13th article and a part of the 17th, as illus trations of what very few of the clergy can believe, and a vast majority of them repudiate. XIII. Of Works before Justification.—" Works done be fore the grace of Christ, and the inspiration of his spirit, are not pleasant to God, forasmuch as they spring not of faith in Jesus Christ, neither do they make meu meet to receive grace, or (as the schoolmen say) deserve grace of congruity ; yea, rather for that they are not done as God has willed, and commanded them to be done, we doubt not they have the nature of sin." This may be very sound scholastic theology, but it is opposed to the facts of human life, hostile to the virtue of society, and directly opposed to Christianity as taught by Jesus. Part of XVII. Article on Predestination and Elec tion.—" As the godly consideration of predestination' and our election in Christ is full of sweet, pleasant, and nn spwaeolevrakeksea to b hf l e m e theco working fi f o o s r i to eenfgdo thed theirl y persons earthlyspirit ef andChrist,members, su c h mortifyinga s a f e n e d l i d n ra th w e i ntm hge up their mind to high and heavenly things as well, because it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal salvation to be enjoyed through Christ, as because it doth fervently kindle their love towards God ; so for curious and carnal persons lacking the spirit of Christ to have continu ally before their eyes the sentence of God's predestination is a most dangerous downfall, whereby the devil doth thrust them either into desperation, or into wretchlessness of the most unclean living no less perilous than desperation ?" Is this Christianity ? Is it in harmony with the teaclfing in other parts of the Prayer Book ? Do all the Bishops and the tst o Archbishops believe this, and all the clergy also ? If not, are they to live and die in this state of falsehcod ? As to the canons and constitutions they cannot be believed and acted upon in the present day. For instance, any man may be excommunicated for saying that the church estab lished maintaining law is not an apostolic church, teaching and d o ctrine of the apostles; th e same f or maingthe speaking against the Book of Common Prayer—the same as to the rites and ceremonies—the same for speaking against the form and ordering of bishops, priests, and deacons ; the same for saying that nonconforming churches are true churches—but into the details I cannot go. Many 9f them are pgticular and minute, acme describe the clerical ill Le. g. Ls.
