Mr. Seward concluded as follows :—" If 8') years could have obliterated all other noble senti ments of that age in Maryland, the President would be hopeful nevertheless that there is one that would for ever remain there and everywhere. That senti ment is, that no domestic contention whatever that may arise among the parties of this Republic ought in any case to be referred to any foreign arbitra ment, least of all to the arbitrament of an European monarchy." The result of this interview was that Governor Hicks had summoned a Special Session of the Legislature for the 26th, and it was anticipated that secession would be the result. In the mean time no steamers were allowed to leave Baltimore upon any pretence, and the Chesapeake, at Dela ware Canal, had been taken possession of by the State. The only way to leave the city yntspyri- : vate conveyance beyond the State limits, Vntrt - was danger of maltreatment. One thousand six hundred Pennsylvanian troops were at Perrysville, waiting to embark for Anna. polis, by order of General Scott. The Military De partment of Washington had been extended so as to include, in addition to the district of Columbia and Maryland, the States of Delaware and Penn sylvania. Major-General Patterson would com mand that department. The Pennsylvanian Volun teers were to be posted all along the railway from Wilmington, Delaware, to Washington city, so as to protect the communication. It is hinted that the President had arranged with the Mayor of Baltimore to send no further troops through that city ; those already there had been withdrawn. Troops had been despatched towards Baltimore with the object of repairing the bridges, which had been destroyed by the rebels. A despatch from Philadelphia states that the Bank had taken a half million war loan at par, and offered a double amount. The Philadelphia City Council had appropriated 1,000,000 doll. to equip the Volunteers and support their families during their absence from their homes. New York had done the same. The New York district attorney had notified the banks that they must pay over no moneys to Southerners, under penalty of a prosecution, for treason. Lord Lyons despatched a special messenger from Washington with despatches for New York, but he was unable to pass Baltimore, and therefore re turned. At Boston war vessels were being fitted out with every expedition. The Minnesota was nearly ready to sail. The Mississippi was in a forward state. The Niagara frigate had arrived. In New York, Boston, and the other northern cities the war feeling was unabated. At the former city all public works had been suspended. On the 21st four large steamers left New York with troops, viz., the Baltic, with the 12th Regiment ; the Columbia, with the Gth ; the R. R. Cuyler, with the 71st; and the steamer Coatzacoalcos, with part of the Rhode Island Regiment and Governor Sprague's suite. Another Massachusetts regiment also ar rived, and was received on board the Ariel, which would probably leave on the 22d. The Harriet Lane conveyed the fleet. Senator Douglas had made a speech at Bellair (Ohio) in which he took strong ground in support of maintaining the Union. The Philadelphia Bulletin of the 23d ult. gives reports from Virginia and Maryland : " We had an interview this morning with a very intelligent gentleman, who reached the city last night from Alexandria, Virginia. Our informant describes the people of Alexandria as violently hos tile to the Government. The Secession party had complete control of the place, and they were deter mined that no soldiers from the north should be landed at that point. On Saturday a vessel laden with provisions for Government use was seized at the wharf at Alexandria, and confiscated by the State authorities. Arlington Heights, on the Vir ginia side of the Potomac, form an object of atten tion, from the fact that they command Washington. It was understood that the Federal Government had several hundred men at work erecting bat teries there last week ; but for some reason they ceased operations on Saturday. There were no rumours there of an advance of Southern troops on the capital. On Saturday there were mysterious movements of locomotives and empty cars from Alexandria, and there was a belief that the object was the transport of Virginia troops. In Washing ton everything was quiet on Saturday. There seemed to be no immediate fears of invasion. All Virginia money was 25 per cent. discount, while Northern money was at a premium. Our informant found Baltimore in a perfect fury of excitement on his arrival there on Saturday night. The Secession party had complete control of the city, and Seces sion badges and flags were displayed upoa,all sides. The Stars and Stripes were not to be seen any where. During all Saturday night and Sunday the streets were filled with excited people; soldiers were moving about, and there was a general deter mination expressed that no Northern troops should march either through the city or State. On Sunday there was a report that Pennsylvanian soldiers were marching towards Baltimore, and there was a per fect frenzy of excitement. The hardware abnd themselves with the weapon s found in them. The soldiers called out to quel l the mob which attacked the Massachusetts reg iment and Small's Brigade fraternised with t he rioters, and but one sentiment d prevailed. The Northerners who were in the city were closely watched and dogged by persons who were supposed to be members of a vigilance com mittee. It was notorious that the mob intended making an attack on Fort Milenry on Saturday night. They were prevented from doing so by the Maryland troops. Fort M'Henry has 600 men, having been reinforced secretly toward 3 the close of last week ; 300 men form a sufficient garrison for the fort. It was generally believed in Baltimore, even by good military authority, that the comman der of the fort had instructions to shell the city in the event of any further interruption to the passage of Northern troops through Baltimore. It was be lieved, too, that it was the intention of the United States' Government to occupy the city and keep open communication with the North. Virginians reported in Baltimore and through the State that 2,500 Virginians quartered at Harper's Ferry are in a condition of actual starvation. Foraging parties had gone over the Maryland line in search of food, and they had been driven back. At Frederick, Maryland, our informant found the people much divided in sentiment concerning Seces sion. There was a very strong feeling of indigna tion against Virginia for making Maryland the battlefield. At Hagerstown, Maryland, the Union sentiment was in the ascendant. A Seces sion flag was displayed on Saturday night, and the people of the town compelled the party exhibiting it to take it down. Western Virginia was univer sally conceded to be loyal to the Union. As soon as the State line was crossed, our informant felt himself safe under the National flag in loyal f ro m sylvania. The star-spangled banner floated b e ople every barn, dwelling, and workshop, and &i on . were enthusiastic in their devotion :oetu are e r t te h d e f f o o i r . h Episcopal On Saturday some 30 students t Theological Seminary, at themselves no their Northern homes, deemi n g longer safe on Virginian soil." lowing : The latest telegrams from Bevil:mad:: APRIL 23.

O n Monday afternoon the excitement had abated some what. A mail had been despatched No rth by a waggon to the Susquehanna River, and thence by railroad. The Baltimoreans complain greatly o f the want of mail and telegraph facilities. The ocus Point, from Boston for Little Rock, Aticaues,s, has been seized; also &large quantity of • ltpetfe and brimstone from Pittsburg for Cincin nati, at Canton Station. No provisions of any kind are allowed to be transferred from Baltimore. Violence has been offered to Henry . W. Hoffman, the newly appointed collector of Baltimore, at Har per's Ferry, as he was about coming to the city to take possession of the office. Several Northerners have been arrested as suspected spies, but dis charged. The city is now well supplied with arms. The City Volunteers are largely increasing. Fresh arrivals are constantly coming in from the country. Between 300 and 400 coloured residents have offered their services. The Southern Rights Convention have nominated the following candidates for dele gates :—John C. Bonne, Ross Winians, Henry M. Warfield, Dr. J. Hanson, Thomas F. Palkin, Scott H. M. Morfett, S.

A system of martial law exists in both cities, but it was not officially proclaimed.. A large Union meeting was held at Elkton, Maryland, to-day ; 800 delegates were present. A resolution was passed to the effect that Cecil county will not secede, let Maryland do . ,what she will.' Gen. Dare has established a camp at Perrysville to-day. All the troops are in good condition and are drilling. The camp at Perrysville contains 2,500 men. A party of marines joined last night, with two pieces of artillery. A sentinel was unfortunately killed last night, owing to a misunderstanding. While on duty an officer with some friends attempted to pass the latter through, but the sentinel not know ing him refused. He was about firing, on ad vancing, when the officer hailed another sentinel, bidding him fire. This order was obeyed, and the man fell dead. He belonged to Norristown." " HARRISBURG, APRIL 23. " Caleb Cushing arrived here yesterday, and left for Washington on Sunday. He says that General Lee, with 5,000 Virginian troops, was covering Arlington Heights. The camp at Cockeysville had broken up, and the troops were returning here to go South via the Susquehanna River. A merchant of Baltimore has arrived here via Frederick and Hagerstown. Ho left Baltimore yesterday after noon. There were no Union flags flying, and but few Secession flags. No attacks had been made on Fort M'Henry. He thinks there were no more than 200 Federal troops there. He believesthe Fede ral troops can now pass through the city unassailed. Military drilling and marching to the sound of music were alone to be seen. Business was entirely suspended, and there will not be a solvent house in Baltimore within a week. Virginia money was at 30 per cent. discount yesterday. The same gentle man was at Washington on Sunday evening. There IN ere no Virginian troops on Arlington Heights. This is one day later than Caleb Cushing's report. He says the Baltimoreans will not attack -Wash ington. He reports the Bth Massachusetts and the 7th New York regiments at Annapolis. Some fighting had occurred, but he is unable to give any particulars, save that they are able to protect them selves. Maryland money was refused entirely by the banks of Harrisburg yesterday at any price. The brokers buy it at a heavy discount." The captain of the surveying vessel Varina had - mo attempted to escape with his vessel from the --- Brooklyn Navy yard. The crew, however, suspected that something was going on wrong, and succeeded in communicating their feelings to the commander of the receiving ship North Carolina. A " line " was thrown across the stream, the Varina un manned, put out of commission very unceremo niously, and her ship's company transferred to " the Guards." The brig of war Perry had been commissioned for blockade purposes, and was likely to be dispatched to Mobile. The Perry is one of the three brigs on the Navy register, is 280 tons burden, and was built at - Norfolk in 1843. She last served in South America with the Para g ua y fleet, of which Commodore Shubrick was com- • yy e ar s d t eamer . . T mander-in-chief.

(From the Brighton Observer of May 3.) The following is the sixth of a series of discourses, delivered at Christ Church, New-road, by the R,v. Robert. Ainslie, on Sunday last:— ON THE TENDENC i ES OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT IN ENGLAND, 1688-1750. Romans, 2d chapter, latter part of the xv. verse. " Their thoughts the mean while accusing, or else excusing one another." The Essay to come under notice this evening is the longest but one in the volume. It is not on a controversial topic ; it is rather a review of the theological controversies that raged in England for about 62 years or from 1688 to 1750. It is written with great ability, and the writer is thoroughly master of his subject. There is one passage, and only one, that the Memorialists cite as objection able. " The Career of the evidential school, its suc cess and failure—its success in vindicating the ethi cal part of Christianity, and the regulative aspect of revealed truth ; its failure in establishing the super natural and speculative part have enriched the his tory of doctrine with a complete refutation of that method as an instrument of theological investiga tion." Instead of reading on continuously the Me morialists leave out the following explanatory pas sage, and thus present the Essayist's views without the qualification that was immediately before them. [" This judgment, however, must not be left un balanced by a consideration on the other side. It will hardly be supposed that the drift of what has been said is, that common sense is out of place in religion, or in any other matter. The defect of the 18th century theology was not in havit g too much good sense, but in having nothing besides."] This was omitted, and the following that is consecutive is quoted :—" In the present day when a godless orthodoxy threatens as in the 16th century to extin guish religious thought altogether, and nothing is allowed in the Church of England but the formulae of past thinkings, which have long lost all sense of any kind; it may seem out of season to be bringing forward a misapplication of common sense in a by-gone age." This is the 'solitary objection able passage adduced by the memorialists from an Essay of 75 octavo pages. The manner of quoting it is unfair and unjust to the writer, and discredit able to the memorialists. The latter part of the quotation is however more injurious to the writer than to any one else. It is his own description of the state of the Church of England. It presents that Church in a humiliating condition. There is no doubt that within her pale there are some of the most !earned and best of men, and some of the finest scholars in Europe ; and yet the Essayist says that it is threatened to extinguish religious thought altogether, and that nothing is allowed but the for mules of past thinkings which have long lost all sense of any kind. The statement is unconditional, partial, and exaggerated. You MAY think ali the religious thought in the homilies, the prayer-book, and the bible, if you will keep your thoughts in har mony with the Articles, Canons. and reeds of the Church fhe conditions of freedom of course are never complied with in a state of bondage. If a man sells his conscience, faith, mental power, or learning for Ecclesiastical position and emolument, he cannot expect, nor ought he to have the right of disregarding the term of the contract ? The Church of England purposely shuts out from her pale, or tries to do it, although called a National Church. all who do not accept her Creeds, Catechism, Articles, Canons, and Rubrics. Her aim has never been as an establishment to examine the scriptures t avail herself of biblical criticism, and the discoveries and information of modern travel to keep her stan dards in harmony with the Bible. She is built upon Acts of Parliament passed in the Ist of Eliza beth, and the 14th of Charlei 11. The House of Parliament in those days decreed what was truth in their judgment, and what should be truth for centuries to come. Owing to the foundations being laid in several pieces, different parties erect their own little places of refuge upon them. The old high orthodox party—the modern Anglican party— the low church—the broad church—the Calvinistic, the Arminian, and other sects are all there, and strange as it may seem, they all give their assent and consent to the same Articles, en none, Offices, Creeds, Rubrics, and while they introduce no "strange doctrine" they may remain quiet. They must believe what their fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers believed, and give their assent and consent to it however foolish, erroneous, and unscriptural, everything in the prayer book being in controvertible. The 4th Canon especially declares that " whosoever shall affirm that the Book of Com mon Prayer containeth anything in it repugnant to the scriptures, let him be excommunicated, and only restored by the Bishop or Archbishop, after repen tance of his wicked errors." The Essayist knows this. It was decreed before he was born. He has gone into chains voluntarily. He can throw them off whenever he pleases. If he have a good living or a good office he has only to resign it, and there are thousands ready to wear the chains, however galling, if .they can but have the preferment. Clergymen should remember that of their own ac cord, they have put on the Ecclesiastical collar; and by their own consent have been harnessed to the huge and wealthy car. So far as the Essayist complains as a man, an Englishman, a scholar—de voted to truth, to the enlargement of the domain of " knowledge, and the better understanding of the Scriptures ; I deeply sympathise with him ; but as one of the 15 or 20,000 men who are in possession of an old Ecclesiastical Edifice, who professedly examined the foundation?, and buttresses, before they entered it, and pronounced them very good : who on entering saw the chains for the minds of the inmates, and the gold and silver that they were to receive for wearing them, for such a man as a voluntary member of such an Ecclesiastical body I have no sympathy. If he be unhappy, if his conscience trouble him if he cannot digest what he took on entering, let him leave, breathe the air of freedom, respect himself, and rely upon 4Divine Providence for whatever he may require in the short sojourn of life. At the same time it is deeply to be regretted that if we must have a National Church, it cannot keep up with scriptural truth, charity, and modern science. The Houses of Parliament endeavour to keep up with true principles of commerce—sound principles of civil and religious liberty—free thought, free speech, and free printing. But the ecclesiastical establishment remains faithful to her two Acts of Parliament, the first of them 300 years old. Her offices—her patronage—her conflicting interests — the mixture of obsolete errors, with great and glo rious truths—her relics of popery and priestly power, all these oppress her, and make her repair as dangerous as that of the pire of an old Cathe dral. Some think it can be done, others think it cannot. Convocation has been revived to try what can be done. An attempt was recently suggested by which godfathers and godmothers in the baptis mal service might be put under new regulations; but for the present it has fallen through. The Scriptures know nothing of them. The Essayist, as a highly educated, liberal minded man, does not sit easy with " the formula of past thinkings" be fore him, which he says " have lost all sense of any kind ;" but he has no liberty, no power to alter them ; and he must submit, however obnoxious and galling, or he must leave as the price of his freedom. The Essay of which I am about to give you the outline, occupies, as I have said, no less than 75 , pages of the volume. It opens with Mr. Hallam's favourable testimony to the real prosperity of the community during the reign of George 11., to which the Essayist puts in contrast the immorality and licentiousness of the same period. He refers to the manner in which High Churchmen treat the theo logy of this period, but intimates that the facts of history cannot be disposed of by forgetting them. He refers to the partiality of the writers of Eccle siastical history, and to the influence and effect of theories upon the history of Theology. He reminds us that antecedent, and immediately preceding agencies aro not to be omitted from our considera tion of the subject, and he specifies three of those agencies, toleration—the re-kindling of the religious consciousness,—and the supremacy of reason. He alludes to the matters in dispute:during that period, and says that Locke's Treatise on the Reasonable ness of Ch r i st i an i ty, may b e sa i d to have been the solitary th es i s of Christian theology in England for great p art of a century. The proving of the truth Christianity and gi.oo the o e e s o e p t e i ndg theforth p eo a s n o d f elevation t distinguished writers on both sides. There were no less than thirty-five answers to the book pub fished by Collins u tled " A Grounds and Reaseontsi of theCh D ri i s s t e i o a Discourse r sRe Religion." l o i t e h . He refers to the two periods in which it was shown that whatever was in'the Bible was in harmony with reason, and the other to the genuineness and authority of the Christian records. Ile says, " Of an honest critical enquiry into the origin and com position of the Canonical writings, there is but one trace—Herbert Marsh's lectures at Cambridge, and that was suggested from a foreign source. The remains of Christian antiquity had sunk into obli vion, and were not disinterred until about the time of the Tractarian movement. He refers to the change that has taken place in public opinion re lative to some of the greatest preachers of this period. Such as South, Barrow, Tillotson, and Sherlock, and adverts to the inconstancy both of literary and theological tastes. He adverts to the Deistical and Bangorian controversies, and to Bo lingbroke, Gibson, Prideaux, and Tillotson ; and to Bishop Butler, James Foster, and others. The sufficiency of natural religion was the turning point of the dispute, and that while Christianity was a particular scheme under the general plan of Providence. Reason was needed for the verifica tion of Christianity. He defines natural religion ; says it is not fully known, and gives various expo sitions of St. Paul's words, " do by nature the things contained in the law ;" and gives the arguments both of Deists and Orthodox divines. He alludes to the preachers of that period, and that their congregations, as now, will be adapted to their thinking, and their style of expression. He also quotes Dr. Johnson's opinion of Whitfield as a preacher. He then alludes to thecommon contrast of the Rationalist preachers of the 18th century with the Evangelicals, who displaced them, and enters upon a curious examination after the manner of Neale, of the number of texts of Scripture, in a sermon by John Newton, by a Roman Catholic Abbot and by John Blair. The Evangelical preacher had twenty-one references; the Roman Catholic fifty-seven, and John Blair thirty-seven. He says that " where each text of Scripture has but one one sense—that sense in which the writer penned it—it can only be sited in that sense, without doing it violenceY adds—" This was the turn by which Seldon so discomfited the Puritan divines, who, like the Catholic mystics, made Scripture words the vehicdp of the r own feelings. He alludes to the style of preaching that succeeded to that of the Puritans, and shows that there was a decrease of authority in the preacher, but that the state of the argument was fully laid down before the hearers. The prevalence of theological discussions he refers to, and urges the necessity of fair play in debate, and 'that for this publicity is the best guarantee. He remarks that time cannot alter the force of truth ; and quotes_Burke's opinion on the preceding age as con trastedlwith that then present. Burke considered their forefathers deeper thinkers than themselves, because they set a higher value on good sense than on knowledge in various sciences, and their good sense was derived very often from as much study and more knowledge though of another sort. He alludes to Pascal and his age—to the argumentative defence of Religion —to theanerit of Butler's Analogy, and pronounces upon it an ela borate eulogy. He alludes to the fact that by the Revolution of 1688 the theory of Anglican autho rity was destroyed—he refers to the authority of independency—the inner light—and to that of a section of the Church of whom Cudworth is the type, to whom " Scripture faith is not a mere be lieving of historical things and upon artificial argu. ments, or testimonies only, but. a certain higher and diviner power in the soul that peculiarly cor respondeth with the Deity." He tells us there can be no mysteries of Christianity. The word " mus terion," as Archbishop Whately pointed out, means in the New festamet t not that which is incompre hensible, but that which was once a secret, though now it is revealed, it is no longer so. He refers to the theology of Butler, both in his Analogy and sermons ; and also to the use of the writings for that period. He comments upon theology, and says when it is stiffened into phrases, and these phrases are declared to be objects of reverence, but not of intelligence, it is on the way to become a useless encumbrance—the rubbish of the past— blocking the road. Theology then reti, es into the position it occupies in the Church of Rome—at present an unmeaning frost work of dogma—out of all relation to the actual history of man. At the period to which the essayist is referring two things were prominent in theological and political circles, personal slander and private vituperation. Porson, at a later period, says the essayist, complains— " In these ticklish times—talk of religion, it is odds but you have infidel, blasphemer, atheist, or schismatic thundered in your ears; touch upon po litics you will be in luck, if you are only charged with a tendency to treason. Nor is the innocence of your intention any safeguard." But theological literature, as a written debate, bad a form of malig nant imputation peculiar to itself. Moral imputa tion which is justly banished from legal argument, seems to find a proper place in theological. The Essayist then refers to the theology of the Hano verian period, as being of the most violently parti san character. It seats itself by its theory in the judicial chair, but it is only to comport itself there like Judge Jeffries. Healludes to several controver sialists of that period, and quotes a very pungent description by Bentley of the state of things in the Church ; and shows that while other men shared largely of polemical abuse, Shaftesbury was treated differently on account of his high rank. He then cites two or three facts as indicative of the popular feeling of the times; such as Mandeville's fable of the bees—Bolingbroke's collected works—Toland's Christianity not mysterious, were all presented as nuisances by the Grand Jury of Middlesex. Toland and Collins fled the country, but the persecutions fell to the ground. At some length he alludes to the moral state of the clergy—the satires published every week about them, and the feeling of contempt for priests that generally prevailed. He alludes to Cowper's well-known satire, and attributes the commencement of the corrupt distribution of patro nage to the Duke of Newcastle. After referring at some length to the corruption of manners that then privailed, nevertheless, he says, " There cannot be a darker picture than that drawn by the Fathers of the ad century, of the morals of the Christians in their time." He then specifies David Hartley's strange state " Six Sou rces o f Ruin, " that threatened to over whelm the St ates of Christendom, an d a ll u d es to the party recr i m i nations as to the or i g i n o f t hi s corrupt of e pu a b m li u e sieg mani t i e ers r . ead lt the is recriminati ons t h at were band i ed a b out. • H i gh absurdsome what Churchmen attributed the public profligacy to the Toleration Act. ln a sermon preached before the Lord Mayor it was attributed to a corrupt expo sition of the words of Jesus, " My kingdom is not' of this world." The Papists attributed it to the Pro testant Reformation—Warburton attributed it to the bestowal of pr ef erment by the Walpole admi nistration, and George 11. attributed the growth of methodism to the fact that his Minister would not take his advice and make the celebrated Whitfield e bishop. He refers to the Evangelical and Metho dic-teachers, to church h • aut ority, and to reason, and concludes by saying " Whoever would take the religious literature of the present day as a whole, and endeavour to make out clearly on what basis Revelation is supposed by it to rest, whether on authority—on the inward light on reason--on self evidencing iScripture—or on the combination of the four, or some of them, and in what proportions would probably find that he had undertaken a per plexing, but not altogether profitless, inquiry.' There are tendencies of religious thought, not looked at nor intended to be looked at by the Essayist, which are deeply interesting. In itself, and apart from any particular period of history, the tendency of religious thought is of great moment. In reference to our ancestors, contemporaries, and successors, we are all influenced by it, and more or less are influencing others. Everything in the na tions and ages,—literature and science—faith and devotion—that have existed before our time, and to which we can get access, must be productive of instruction and benefit, either by warning, direct ing, controlling, or encouraging us in the path of life. We owe much to our ancestors. They had a fearful struggle with oppression, to obtain for them selves and their posterity--political freedom, reli gious liberty, and the right to worship God as their consciences dictated to them. Their contemporaries, in other and foreign lands, succumbed to the yoke, and their descendants have suffered oppression, even until now. If we take a broader and more an cient view of those who have lived before us, we owe them much. The literature of past ages, con• taining philosophy, poetry, history, and morals, has had a powerful influence in moulding the men of the present generation. The tendency of the reli gious thought of the Ist century has been fearfully counteracted by the selfishness and ambition of those who in subsequent centuries had to teach it. They buried it as quickly as they could, for it was inimical to deceit, selfishness, ambition, superstition, and tyranny. What we want now, and what I believe is the aim and the end of the essayists, is to get back to the Christianity of the Ist century, especially as taught by Jesus. Everything he uttered had a de finite meaning. It was true, noble, devout, good and benevolent. He burst asunder the fetters of Judaism, enlarged the domain of worship and divine service, until he embraced the whole human family. The divine religion he taught was free for the spirit of man, and intelligible and definite as the rule of his life. He left no creed —n, system of theology. It was no part of his int tructions to build up wealthy ecclesiastical kingdoms. He gave the people truth and told them the truth should make them free. He told them to love one another,ai4;xeMplifieditii, laying down his own life for mankind. Unselfish ness and self-sacrifice were two of his constant prac tical lessons, and he urged the cultivation of uni versal brotherhood. If the religious thought that Jesus uttered wasuow the substance of puNio teach ing, how powerful would be its tendency to elevate men, purify their hearts, and make them happy. Unfortunately, we have phrases and terms instead of thoughts, which do not represent the mind of Chris tianity ; but are in conformity with modern systems of theological teaching. No book, probably, is more universally circulated than the Bible ; no book more generally read, and no book less studied with an unfettered and impartial mind. The habit which is too common is to have a system 'of doctrines and to require belief in them as the condition of salvation. It is also too common to take thenz to the Scriptures, and to find texts to support them, instead of going free and unfet tered to the sayings and commandments of Jesus, and receive them in all their freshness, fullness, and life-giving power. Every Church, Roman, Lutheran, and English, has its conditions of belief as the way of salvation—but it is not so in the teachings of Jesus, nor will it be so according to what Jesus has said, and Matthew has recorded in the twenty-fifth chapter of his Gospel. A public meeting, it appears, was held last Wed nesday afternoon at the Hanover-square Rooms, in behalf of Home Missions belonging to the Church of England. The two Archbishops were there, and the Bishops of London and Oxford, besides noble dukes, commoners, and clergy. At a time like the present, one would have thought that the tenor of the speaking as to the Home Mission work to be done would have been to have recommended the beautiful lessons of. Jesus—the divine doctrines he taught men, the heavenly spirit he breathed—in order that men, might understand Christianity, and receive the life-giving power of divine truth. If we had heard the main features of the mission of the life and death of Jesus alluded to, the power and self-denying influence of his gospel recommended, as what was essential to individual Christian life, and the spiritual life and power of the Church, we should have thought it worthy of the speaker, and calculated to do great good. But instead of this, the Bishop of Oxford said, " At a time like this we must strengthen the church to go with the creeds"—and he then enumerated some of their doctrinal articles. He also said, "At a time like this, the Church of England must be made strong, to bring creeds home in their particularity." With great deference to his lordship, this is not what British society at present requires. It wants the Ohristian life—the spirit of Jesus, the unselfish and self-sacrificing spirit of the founder of our faith, promi nently pliced before the eyes of the enemies and the friends of the gospel. We want the love of God, anti the ,love of our neighbour, set forth— we want the practical recognition of our com mon humanity, and of the just claims of man upon man, brought to bear upon society, in high places, and in humble circles. We want just re proaches wiped away from our ecclesiastical esta blishment and our ecclesiastical commission, and the tales of profligate expenditure for the palaces, and worldly pomp of our chief ecclesiastics, which tales are published on tie authority of the commissioners, refuted if they can be, and if not, the aiders, abettors, and receivers of such expenditure should r tire, and repent that what they have done is as inimical to the spirit and will of Jesus, and the purpose of the gospel, as murder is to love, and truth to falsehood. You may take the creeds of the Church and make her strong, and you may take " them home in their particularity ;" hut another creed, the creed of the Bishop of Durham, has been taken home by the public press, and by our leading satirist, in all its particularity, to every cottage in the kingdom : that creed has been acted upon by an evangelical Bishop —but with THAT in your hand, leave the religion of Jesus for some one else to take. The tendency of such an unchristian thought, and such an irreli gious act, will do more real dair age in causing the religion of Jesus to be treated with contempt, or rather the men who sanction it, than a whole library of "Essays and Reviews." While the life of Jesus and the life of Paul are upon record, the corrupt and selfish practices of so many who have sat upon the Episcopal benches during the last century, must prove to be a great scandal. Men of every class are prepared to vote the Ecclesiastical Commission to be a disgrace to the Church, and a deep offence against English society and the reli►- gious of Jesus. In the forthcoming replies to the Essays and Rev;ews it would be well to devote some pages to the vindication of the bishops in the matter of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and there is no abler pen, nor one more interested in the removal of the scandal, than the pen of the Bishop of Oxford. It is said that his lordship is to contribute a preface to one of the volumes, and while proving the heterodoxy of the Essayists, let him also set forth the practical infidelity to the religion of Jesus of every one who has received money by thousands, to beautify palaces, that should have gone to aid in supporting the hard working, badly fed, and ill-paid Clergy of our wealthy Establishment. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MAY 5. The Persia, which touched at Queenstown yes terday, has arrived. She left New York on the 25th ult., having been detained some hours for despatches. Agents have arrived by the Persia to 'purchase rifled cannon of the Armstrong, Clay, and Blakely patterns, also nearly 200,000 rifles and revolvers for immediate shipment. The latest despatch from Washington is to the 24th. The New York Regiment and the Bth Massachusetts had just• arrived. The Govern ment had sent urgent demands for troops and artillery to various places, as the capital was in danger. In reply to a request for troops, the Governor of Tennessee said he would not comply, but would rather furnish 50,000 men against the North. At Washington the number of troops was esti mated at 6,000. Provisions were very scarce. The public buildings were all barricaded. A rumour that General Beauregard, of the Southern army, was posted with 5,000 men on Arlington heights, on the opposite shore of the Potomac two miles as the bird flies from the White-house, appears to have no foundation. A letter from New York, dated April 19, says : It is just eighty-six years to-day since the first shot was fired in the War of American Indepen dence at Lexington, in Massachusetts, at break of day on the warm morning of a prematurely sum merish day. On the anniversary of that day we hear by telegraph of the first blood—and that, by a singular coincidence, the blood of Massachusetts men—shed in the new war, which has been com menced by those who seek to subvert all that was accomplished in the struggle for Independence. The great civil war that everybody has regarded as an improbability is now fairly inaugurated— blood has been shed, sectional animosities have been aroused—Virginia has seceded, or will do so soon in the van of the Border Slave States—there is every probability that Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina will follow --Mary land is trembling poised between her allegiance to the stars and stripes and her sympathy for slavery, and everything -now promises a war between the consolidated Slave States and the American Government—a war for the extension of African slavery and the annihilation of constitutional Government, except as subservient to that institu tion. Mr. Lincoln had given audience to several Mary land delegates, whose mission was to induce him to countermand orders for the passage of troops through that State. In the course of one of the interviews President Lincoln said he must have the troops, and through Maryland they must come. " They can't," he said, "come under the earth, and they can't fly over it, and, mathematically, they must come across it. Why, sir, those Carolinians are now crossing Virginia, and, hang me, what can I do ?" In reply to a suggestion that a peace policy would be the best, he said, " There would be no Washington, no Jackson, no spirit in that ; I must run the machine as I found it.;" As the deputation were departing he said, " I'll tell you a story. You have all heard of the Irishman who, when a: fellow was cutting his throat with a blunt razor, complained that he haggled it. Now, if I can'thave troops direct through Maryland, and must have them all the way round by water, or marched across out o -the-way territory, I shall be haggled:." Governor Hicks, of Maryland, made a similar pll-^ cation to Mr. Seward, and suggested that h ostilties should be suspended, and the differences between the belligerents referred for arbitrament to Lord Lyons, to prevent the effusion of blood. In reply, sales is had tone. 1,791 571 2,036 6,68 t 14,794 275 337 203 478 83,801 1,484 16,335 13,621 277 1,102 11,91$ .997 1,220 k 0,250 4,360 1,432 2,524 3,855 5,956 460 38,087 2,382 8,209 605 2,155 3,244 3,520 1,793 1, 90 3,186 17,1P8 7,271 3,127 7,505 5,038 1,873 674 123 1,595 297 1,697 697 3,865 6,934 454 751 031 088 27,412 279 1,148 3,020 3,229 44,734 14,560 3,965 2,248 9,695 4,669 12,614 1,181 42,865 69,875 48,560 490 1,348 32,572 18,032
