SPANISH FINANCE. ( Znr: _ cicr Debatg of the sir. initara. We re.'oiveil letters from Madrid, dated the •Df June, and can state upon authority that M. Torero com plains greatly of the ill-will and of the singular credulity with which reports have lately been circulated and believed in fo reign countries respecting the plans of the Spanish Go vernment regarding the reduction of the Three and Five per Cents., contracted since 189.3. This Minister has assured his friends that he will respect all the decrees of Ferdinand VII., by which these debts were contracted, and besides that his principles on matters of credit are sufficiently well known by the solemn declaration which he made in the Assemby of the Cortes in 1820, that the slightest doubt should be entertained respecting them.. It was, in fact, to this decla ration of his principles that the debt of Holland owes its ac knowledgements—a debt contracted upon a more disadvan tageous basis than the latter loans, if we consider the state of prosperity in which the country then was. M. de Toreno cannot have changed his view of things since 1820 ; and his opinion in matters of finance, ma tured by observation and experience, cannot but have acquired more firmness and consistency ; he must likewise be convinced that the best means of sus taining the credit, and of raising it to its highest pos sible elevation, is to fulfil rigorously its engagements ; and if the councillors of the late King had followed this wise maxim, in acknowledging the debt contracted dur ing the constitutional regime, Spain would not have been obliged to make so many loans, and its obligations would at present have been at par, at least at the price of the Neapolitan and Roman loans ; and if, in fact, the Government of Ferdinand fell into a serious and repre hensible error, it would be now a crime to persevere in disavowing, or, what would be the same thing, in reducing the new debt. It is, in fact, impossible that either M. de Toreno or his colleagues could ever have entertained the absurd idea of destroying the edifice of credit to rebuild it with its own ruins. How can it be believed, besides, that a Ministry whose first consideration bas been to inspire confidence, and to resist the attacks of its enemies by the frankness and uprightness of its conduct—a Ministry which, eager to depart from the beaten track of its predecessors, has adopted the plan of publicity for its financial operations, and has not hesitated, notwithstanding the em barrassment of the. Treasury, to reject the propositions which, were made for the loan of 200,000,000, lately offered for competition, because it did not consider them in pro portion to the advanced prices of all the European mar kets---a, Ministry of .which nearly all the members have given, more or less decidedly, their disapprobation of the non-recognition of the debt of the Cortes ; how then, we ask, can such a Ministry, on the eve of contracting a loan, renounce by a measure such as the reduction of the stocks the advantages which rise in Spanish securities present, and annihilate its credit at a moment when it is more necessary than ever to be maintained ? The example of France, which, with a debt more consi derable in 1815 than that of Spain, and oppressed besides by the enormous war tax of 1,800,000,000 f., did not de spair of its credit, cannot be lost upon the Government of the Queen Regent, and will prove the degree of prosperity which may be arrived at by respecting all engagements. Spain, whose immense resources have not yet disap peared under the weight of mortgages of all kinds which oppress those of other countries, has a revenue more than sufficient to meet its debts. The Royal Treasury pos sesses resources upon which the bulk of the holders of stock and of speculators do not reckon. Many of these revenues are in the hands of corporations and pri vate parties, which, as yet, have not been under the control of the Government, and are not mentioned in the annual budget. Others, which until the pre sent time have been scattered about and mismanaged, will necessarily return to the public treasury ; all together then, according to a close calculation, would give an amount of 700,000,000 reals (about 7,000,0001.), with out reckoning the 207,000,000 assigned last year to the sinking fund. This mass of effective revenue, maladminis tered, neglected, and burdened with pensions and alms, would be augmented considerably by the adoption of a better mode of collecting, by the destruction of abuses, by reforms in the administration, and above all, by the great economy which is intended to be introduced into all its branches, and which will be carried into effect as soon as the provinces shall be tranquillized, where the Government is at present compelled to employ an unusual force. The Treasury should also reckon upon the produce of the Commons;_known by the name of Propios and Arbitrios, upon the pasturage of the lands called Baldios, and of several others which at present are lost to the country, the concentration of which, ordered by the recent decrees, has been confided to a special commission. In fine, after so exact an account of all the revenues of Spain, they may be reckoned at 800,000,000 of reals, by introducing order and regularity in the administration. It als" evident that, all the expenses of the not exceeding 500099.990 of realci t of the existinf , debt, but o f man y o th ers . For if the able Mi n i s t er c harged e at present with the Department of Finance succeeds in having adopted by the two Chambers the projects of reform which he for a long time has had in view, there will remain annu ally in the Treasury the sum of 400,000,000 reals for the liquidation of the debt, the interest of which at pre sent does not exceed 200,000,000 of reals. This debt, besides, has considerably diminished by the effect of a pro gressive sinking fund. The Royal Loan, which exceeded 300,000,000 of reals, is now reduced to less than half that amount by the means o f it s gra d ua l s i nk i ng fund ; and if we are permitted to make use of a common expression, "payer ses dettes c'est s'enrichir," every day will naturally bring fresh resources to the Treasury for the payment of its obligations. We are not certain whether what we have stated is suf ficient to satisfy the holders of Spanish stock ; we can, however, assure them with the utmost confidence, that the statements have not been taken from those impure sources which the interested defamers of the Spann government have procured them ; and that the remarks which accom pany them are entirely in accordance with the principles of both the moral and political economy which directs at the present period the conduct of the Ministers of the Queen, and of those which M. de Toreno expressed with so much eloquence in the Assembly of the Cortes in 1820. To every one at all conversant with either men or things in Spain, it must be evident that the reports of the reduc tion of the 3 and 5 per Cents., circulated with so much exasperation and ill-will, emanated from the enemies of the constitutional regime. It would be difficult to find now that financial questiom exercise so great an influence over the affairs of states, means more sure to undermine the throne of the young Queen, and to destroy the liberal principles by which it is supported, than to attack the credit of Spain, and to com pel its Government to reduce its debt, or in other words to declare a national bankruptcy. Many would wish to preach a crusade in favour of Don Carlos, but no Spaniard truly faithful to his country would be ambitious of such a role. Lot us hope, then, that such doctrines will make proselytes but among the sworn enemies of the institutions to which Spain is indebted for its political regeneration. GERMAN PAPERS. CASSEL, JUNE 28.—For some time past Privy Counsellor llassenpflug has been very constant in his attendance on the sittings of the Assembly of the Estate. A Committee has made a proposal to place the Burgher guard under the War Department, and to nominate the officers for life. This pro posal seems to have been very agreeable to the Government, and was willingly acceded to by it. The public, however, disapproved of this new regulation, which is looked upon as placing the Burgher Guard in an altered position. It is doubted whether the Chambers themselves will in the end adopt it. Baron V. Trott, Minister for Foreign Affairs, ar rived from Vienna on the day when the first stone of the new edifice for the Assembly of the Estates was laid. DEUXPONTS, JUNE 28.—T0-day was published the decision of the Royal Court of Appeal in the affair of the ten persons of Newstadt (which was debated before it yesterday and the day before), who were tried by the Tribunal of Frankenthal, on the accusation of having pelted with stones the escort of light horse that accompanied Dr. Hepp. Our readers know that several of these persons were condemned to various terms of imprisonment, from six to nine months, and• three acquitted for want of proof. The public prosecutor appealed against the acquittal of the three persons, and the men who were condemned, against the sentence passed on them. The Court of Appeal has confirmed the sentence of the tribunal at Frankenthal, as far as concerns the acquittal of the three persons, and the sentence on five of the others, but has declared the two others entitl e d to an acquittal, partly be cause the evidence against them is not such as to show that they were concerned, and partly becaus e th ey h ave brought witnesses to prove an alibi : BERLIN, JUNE 29.—Privy Counsellor N e i ge b auer has again come from Frankstadt, at the desire of the Minister f or Fo reign Affairs, t4take part in the negociations, w hi c h are in tended to put an end to the differences respecting the f ront i ers between Poland and Sil e sia, which have now subsisted these 300 years.--Franhfort Papers, July 5. THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE, JUNE 2a.—There are peopl e who think th ey perce i ve in the increase o f the English squa dron in the Mediterranean an intention of attacking Russia. They imagin e t h at E ngland can never find the attitude of its interest, as rega r d s t h e Ottoman Porte, in accordance with interest, or tolerat e a new weight thrown into the balance in favour of Russia. This new weight is the Russian squadron, which was not required at a moment in which Turkey had no fleet in the Bosphorus, an d w h en the Dardanelles were open to the Russian flag. The question here is not only the letter of the treaty of the Bth of July, which is so much spoken of, and the incontestible rights of Russia, but the prejudice done to England in her dominion of the seas. If F rance should to morrow ally herself with Russia, the Russian fleet might join that of the French at Toulon : but England cannot be at )itAno with France on account of la' ^.: -' On 7 .7..7 , by the 47 ,cpi;;__ 7; which JArres'F. and S. Petersburgh suCkient moriv - fr to that an Ene-;11 squadron in the Bosphorus :night hal-c a vast object, and perhaps cause a coup-dc-ma - ::::.: - .; he foresec,n. The present situation of England and France would be suffi cient, if necessary, to prove the possibility of such a coup-de main. The interest of the - Cabicets which wish to avoid war is then to show themselves mediators. The mediation was on the accord of the powers, sad even Russia, who engaged not to accept the Pmallest village in Turkey in Europe, and above all in the promise of Russia not to demand the passage of the Dardanelles. The best guarantee for tit, Porte would be to destroy the supremacy of the Russian Naval forces on the Black Sea. This consideration, supposes in England, beside the will the power of attempting a coup-de-main like that in question. An attack upon Turkey would be an indispensible prel iminary,for the Divan would reply negatively to the demand of England, who would immediately despatch a squadron to the Black Sea. The attack would be more certainly followed by a war if France should make common cause with England; but France and England cannot desire an European war. How would the Grey Ministry, or any Whig Ministry, find the means of making war ? Where would a Ministry, which owes its exist— ence to a perpetual warfare against the King, the Tories, and the reformers, find in the Parliament a sufficient credit to make such a war? The Tories are at present drawn closer to the Emperor Nicholas than Lord Grey, or any Whig successor to him, can be. Russia would not consent to a proposal like that we have named. It must not be thought that she is afraid of England in her present state; she would not dread her more united with France. On the other hand, neither must it be believed that England would see with pleasure the de struction of the Russian fleet by an English squadron. Interest, which in our days, is opposed to all revolution, is.the principle which animates all the Western Powers. A war made by England and France combined, no matter with what view, would necessarily degenerate into a revolutionary struggle against the conservative principle, and would render the Powers more united together. France and England ought to make these reflections ; the increase of the English fleet in the Mediterranean cannot have the motive ascribed to it, it cannot be conceived without this forced interpretation. We have seen Ancona occupied, and Antwerp taken, because a French Ministry considered these demonstrations indispensible to repress its enemies. VIENNA, JUNE 30.—Five per Cent.

Lord MELBOURNE returned to town this forenoon From a visit to his MAJESTY at Windsor ; but we have not yet heard with any certainty what has been he result of his journey. There is but one feeling amongst sensible and pa triotic men of all parties, with reference to the person who should succeed Earl GREY. Lord AL TirouP is the man. The House of Commons, the friends of freedom in the Lords, and the observant and reflecting people of England, have the fullest confidence in his judgment and integrity. No ministry could last a month with his Lordship and his friends in opposition to it, and, therefore, it would be the greatest folly to form it. His MAJESTY is too wise to make the attempt, although no doubt but that if it were otherwise, the Duke of CUMBERLAND would very well like to be Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ; the Duke of WELLINGTON Prime Minister; Sir CHARLES WE THERALL Lord Chancellor ; Lord ABERDEEN, Fo reign Secretary; and Mr. ALEX. BARING, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Orangemen would support the first, and the Pluralists in the Church, together with the rotten corporators whose power the Reform Bill has destroyed, all the others. The people, however, have now the power of choosing Representatives for themselves, and no man of any enlargement of mind, or even common prudence, would consent to form part of such an Administration. Happily MAJEST Y i s on the right side ; he is honest faithful t o hi s f r i en d s an d a i n ly d patriotic, and THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1834 },p.30 tics" filar lii- peoplc: '7)i" go ;zoverncd as that they shall b prosix. , rou.g, happy and .united. He wishes for contentment at home, and peace abroad. He knows that a TOry Government would be destructive to both, and, therefore, he would certainly only consent to it in the event of being unable to form a Govern ment from the liberal Whig Reformers. Who in point of station, personal character, judgment, in tegrity, and persuasive manners, holds the highest place among these ? Why, certainly of those whose health and age capacitate them to fill an office, the duties of which are so arduous in the present eventful ,times, none stands higher than (or perhaps so high as) Lord ALTHORP. Most earnestly, therefore, do we hope that the KING will request his Lordship to take the place of Lord :GREY, which would at once satisfy both Parliament and the country, and put an end to those apprehensions which it will be for the public advantage to remove as speedily as possible. We say nothing' of the LORD CHANCELLOR, as although we know his eagerness to serve his King•and country, we do not see how his loss on the Woolsack could be re paired. He is in the exact situation for which his eminent talents fit him above all other living men. No man ever did, and certainly no man of less strength and force of mind could, dispatch the business of his Court and attend Jo the most important duties of Speaker of the House of Lords, in a manner equally honourable to himself and advantageous to his country. The uneasy, inquisitive, half sanguine, half de ' sponding spirit of the Tory party displayed itself unequivocally last night, in the House of Lords. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY acting as their organ— though we think they might have chosen a more efficient one—endeavoured to draw out the LORD CHANCELLOR, and entrap him into a statement, as to how and when the new Ministry was to be con structed, and who was to have the task of its construc tion. The drift of these inquiries was at once seen through by Lord BROUGHAM, who, in reply to Lord ELLENBOROUGH, who pressed him still closer on the subject of the Premiership, said, " Now, that is just the one thing I will not answer. I will not answer that question, and no one shall compel me to it. No sneer—no good-humoured joke--nay, not even tor ture itself, shall compel me to answer that question, which my duty to my SOVEREIGN will not permit me to answer. I should be betraying my duty to my KING, if I were to answer it." Had the Tories suc ceeded in gaining some clue, some insight into the nature of the pending Ministerial arrangements, they would instantly have clubbed all their forces—set all their wits to work to thwart them ; and what with calumny, insinuation, threat, and that subtle, in triguing spirit, of which they are such perfect masters, they might possibly have succeeded in occasioning very considerable embarrassment to the liberal party. The LORD CHANCELLOR saw this at a glance, and very properly and very discreetly took refuge in silence. But how absurd in the Tories to put forth such a jack-pudding as the Marquis of LONDONDERRY to sound such a statesman as the LORD CHANCELLOR ! Or if they did not do so, how presumptuous in the Noble Marquis to volunteer such a Quixotic attempt I But both he and his party were well repaid for their officiousness, They left the House just as wise as when they entered 'IL. _ 1- - 1 _ • . - - • 2.fions of the LORD CHANCELLOR to the " almost hope less task " of forming a new Administration, to show to what a height the Tories have carried on their still and secret intrigues. They have been at work in all quarters, sowing jealousies here, fomenting distrusts there—now aiming to carry their point by finesse, and now by bravado. But all their attempts have only re coiled upon themselves. Theirs has been great cry and little wool. Fondly did they expect, fondly—so infatuated is ambition I—do some still expect, that they will be sent for by his MAJESTY. But, alas I no messenger has yet arrived from Windsor fraught with such a refreshing summons ! " Why tarry the wheels of his chariot ?" Methinks he is long in coming. Even so, ,and long indeed will it be—or we have mistaken the patriotic nature of his MAJESTY --ere the coachman of either WELLINGTON, PEEL, or STANLEY, will receive orders to turn his horses' heads towards Windsor. It is clear that the Tories have not the slightest acquaintance with the real state of the country, or they would never even have dreamed of a restoration to power. The hostile spirit of the people towards them is " not dead, but sleeping." A week—aye, forty-eight hours only—would suffice to set the coun try in a flame from one end to the other. The very instant the news of a PEEL or a WELLINGTON Ad ministration reached the provinces, petitions and addresses to his MAJESTY, calling for its removal, would pour in from all quarters. Toryism is no longer the predominant spirit in England. Reform rung its death-knell. We are too far advanced on the road of improvement—see our way too clearly before us, ever to think of halting or drawing back. Our readers will find, in another column, a letter ' addressed by the Marquis of SLIGO, Governor- General of Jamaica, to the recently emancipated slave population of that island, to which we call particular attention. We have seen many documents of the same kind--many recommendatory letters, addresses, and proclamations issued by our provincial authorities to the inhabitants within their jurisdiction—but one equalling the letter of his EXCELLENCY, the Governor of Jamaica, in paternal tenderness of admonition, in mild patriarchal remonstrance, in soothing, affectionate regard, in conciliatory allusions to the past, has never yet come 'under our observation. We hardly know whether to admire most its beautiful sim plicity or its extreme mildness, and the absence of every topic calculated to keep alive that spirit of irri tation between the slave-owners and the slaves which had nearly proved fatal to the security of the island. Compare it with a state paper drawn up by a legal officer of the Crown, and see how utterly contemptible, how insidiously puzzling, the latter appears. Would to God that kings and rulers, under whatever name, would take a lesson from the Governor of Jamaica, and ad dress themselves to the understandings and the hearts of their people, instead of irritating and perplexing them by arrogant formalities, displaying the trap pings, while their fears compel them to conceal under the guise of quibble the stern features of despotism. It is time that governors should know that the prac tice of delusion is not necessary to awe mankind into obedience to wholesome authority. Men on the very verge of : . civilization are aware that order is requisite ; and to secure their obedience to any power, requires no more than a conviction that those in power intend e .n.ess ...._!Soil :. L',... s; s7liirh will be broken whenevc , ; but rc.2 , :,(..n an I t 11.2 -.i.recEx;.; arc, ligatures which not only bind together, but incorporate mankind. We earnestly hope that the General Assembly, and the whole of the Representatives of the Island of Jamaica, will cordially unite with the Governor in soothing the feelings, ameliorating the condition, and raising and fitting for freedom, the moral character of the slave population. The work is one of charity— of mercy—and, we do trust, will be undertaken and effected in a spirit worthy of Englishmen. We can understand very well how slave proprietors, with the best and kindliest feelings, but from a fear of being involved in one common ruin, could all but brave the Government in defence of what bad laws had made their property. But now that such fears have been removed by a grant of twenty millions, as a compensation for all individual loss on the part of the planters and slave-owners, we cannot think so meanly of them as to believe that they will not be as anxious as the Governor himself to enlighten and elevate the minds of the unhappy creatures com mitted to their care. They are no longer fettered by iniquitous laws which compelled them to traffic in the blood and sinews of their fellow men ; they are no longer prevented from mercifully bursting the fetters of the oppressed, and giving back to liberty and to God the inherited bonds man. They may now be just, and we trust they will ; before, they dare not even if they would ; as the law would not allow any man to emancipate slaves unless he provided for their maintenance during life. The well-disposed have only to follow the example of his Excellency the Governor, and if they do, we are morally certain that in the course of three years there will not be a colony under the crown in which the people will be more peaceable and happy, than in the Island of Jamaica. Our Correspondent in Antigua communicates the gratifying fact, that all the slaves of that island will be unconditionally emancipated on the Ist of Angust ; that the Island is in the highest state of prosperity, the crops most abundant, and the store-houses full of produce—waiting only for a sufficient number of ships to convey it to a market. We learn from private sources of information that Don PEDRO is going on very successfully at Lisbon. There will be two points of great importance for the con sideration of the Cortes at their meeting : 1. The ap pointment of a Regent. They can scarcely be expected to act otherwise than confirm the Regency in him who has rendered such eminent services to the cause of the Queen, his daughter, and the country. Some lawyers, however, are of opinion that the legal right is in the Infanta, who is represented to be a good politician, but who has been some what notorious for the irregularities of her private life. We hope the Cortes will overcome the legal quibbles which it may be the interest of the Lawyers, but not of the country, or the young QUEEN, to raise. The second difficult point is the marriage of the young QUEEN. Her own wishes are said to be in favour of the brother of the Empress, and we cannot see any solid objections to such an arrangement. Certainly the French ought not to interfere. It is for the inte rest of Portugal that the connections of its rulers should be with those whose attachment to the cause ..,larty, and may, indeed, be uee-led hereditary. A telegraphic communication from Portsmouth has announced this morning the arrival of the Asia, with Rear -Admiral PARKER, from Lisbon. The Espoir (10 guns) is to take the next week's mail to Lisbon. The French Papers of Wesinesday mention that the affairs of Swisserland appear at length to be positively arranged. FRENCH FUNDS.-.-ZPAkli, JULY 9. Five per Cents., 1061. 75c. 01*.

The German Papers contain nothing worth men tion, with the exception, peritaps, of a vague, ram bling sort of al tide, dated from the banks of the Danube, by which it would appear, that Russia is not a little uneasy at the increase of the English squadron in the Mediterranean. The writer states, however, that " it must not be thought tit at she is afraid of Eng land in her present state; she vi ould not dread her even united with France." This re minds us of Bob Acres in the play, who, when tremla ng with apprehension at the idea of being shot in a dutil, cocked his hat 'fiercely, stuck his arms a-kimbo, and b Dldly cried out " Who's afraid ?"

England, we have no doubt that the former, despiit e her present valorous boast, would feel her courag, e, like that of Acres, " oozing out" at her " fingers' ends." THE FUNDS.- (THIS DAY.)

We received it, we believe, with its July contem poraries, but knowing from the nature of its contents that few besides profeSsional men, and lovers of the fine arts, would be likely to purchase it, we put it aside to make room for more ephemeral matter ; intending to do it jus tice at our earliest opportunity.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF TAXATION. The Jerseymen Parting. A Tale. By Harriet Martineau, C. Fox, London, 1834. Miss Martineau's Tales are the only ones, illustrative of a system, which we ever could read without occasionally losing sight of the moral in the stirring interest of the story, or forgetting the story in a long disquisition about some abstract ethical theory. Perhaps she wants the power of awakening sympathy in any very painful degree, but whatever share of our better feelings, she enlists on the side of her heros and heroines in the opening of her tales, is never allowed either to slumber, or so to engross our at tention, as to make us wholly forget that they are in her hands as plastic instruments of popular instruction as the beans with which Pestellozzi would amuse children into a knowledge of arithmetic. Let no one suppose that excel lence of this -kind is mechanical ; it is excellence of a high order, and the want of it is painfully felt in the perusal of some of the most elegant productions of modern times. Who that has read " Tremaine"—a book, in every page of which we trace the accomplished scholar and the well bred man of the world—will deny that he has not found fault with the long discussions between Tremaine and Evelyn ? Whether the readers of Miss Martineau's " Illustrations of Taxation" agree with, or dissent from, her theory of the benefit of direct taxes, they will not fail to be struck with the forcible manner in which she places her views before them. Nothing can be finer than the conception of a Jersey farmer, enraptured with a description of the happi ness of the people of England who have no direct taxes to pay, coming with his family to take possession of a pottery in Lambeth, to be ruined by Excise tines—imprisoned for breaches of laws of which he was ignorant, and driven home all but a pauper and a vagabond. Such a story cannot be read by the legislator or the moralist without giving rise to very serious reflections on the real causes of crime among the people. The following scene before the Commissioners of Excise is far from being an effort of the imagination : " What had Dennis Crook done that he was called upon to pay 4/. 15s. 4id ? Dennis Crook was a paper-stainer, and had neg lected to pay the duty of 21. is. Bid., and he was therefore called on for the double duty, in order that the single might be recovered, with costs. Poor Dennis declared that he had told the collector that he would pay the duty, and the costs with it, the first day that some money which was due to him should come in. It was very cruel of the collector to bring him here, knowing that he had no wish to evade the duty, and that the bringing him here was enough to ruin his business. It had got abroad already, and he had lost two customers by it. God forbid that he should be so inconsiderate to the person who had brought him to this by not paying him to the day ! Dennis could not pay the penalty till this person yielded him his due,—not a bit the more for being brought here; but that person should not be exposed by him as he was exposed in this court, to the destruction of his business. If he should never pay another shilling of duty to the King, the Court might ascribe it to his difficulties being laid open in this way,— difficulties which might have been got over easily enough if the Court had not stepped in between him and his customers.—The Court did not see what it had to do with all this. The single duty, with a small increase for costs, was squeezed out of poor Dennis, who went away, pulling his hat over his eyes, and saying that this would be the signal for his landlord to turn him out of the little shop in which he bad car ried on his business for many years ; and God only knew where he was to establish himself next. " What could have brought hither that respectable elderly woman, who looked as if she could never in her life have broken a law or a rule ? She came to save her son from a prison, if it might be within her small means to do so. On his coming of age, she had given up to him the small tenement she possessed. She had better have kept it till her death. He had been seduced into a " speculation," and had set up a private still. The still and all the spirits on the premises were seized, and the mother was now here t s? e' s 'i v act' i s e iZiNe:ll?- f h l e ( M:s ti* i t c t ,i & st k ialj t . of littlett ,a i s o n r n e likely that she should have to maintain John than that he would ever repay this 1001., for his character was gone. Sh e cas t d own her eyes while she held out the money, with a trembling hand, and did not speak to John as they went away, though he looked as if he longed above everything for a word from her. Mrs. Brennan found that much explanation was necessary before Anna could be lieve that all this ruin was caused by the act of distilling spirits without the leave of the government. " A widow, in shabby mourning, with a babe in her arms, was quietly crying in a corner. She had sold her furniture by auction, and had neglected to get a license. She had better have kept her furniture; for the penalty swallowed up nearly all the proceeds of the sale. Anna thought this the most cruel levy of a tax she had ever heard of ; for this poor woman would not have sold her furni ture if she had not been in want. To be compelled to pay for per mission to do what was in itself a hardship, was a stranger piece of oppression than Anna had witnessed vet,—much as she had seen. She followed the widow, to make sure of the facts, and found that the poor woman had been on the point of setting up a little shop, and sharing a cheap lodging with a brother : but now that her money was almost all gone, she could see nothing before her but selling fruit in the streets ; but, in that case, she must look about for some one who would take care of her baby, while the other two little ones must tramp the streets with her. If she had but sold her furniture in any other way ! But her brother advised an auc tion, and had taken upon himself to be aucti oneer ; an d h ow could she suspect what would happen ? " The wonder was how those to whom the public money came at last could enjoy it if they knew of its being wrung in ways like these from the ignorant, the simple, and the distressed. The old and obvious question recurred,—why not ask the nation for the money that is wanted, instead of filching it? Why not settle openly how it is to be paid, and take it directly, as rent is taken, or as contributions for any other objects are collected? Surely no objections to this simple method of taxation could long stand when our great nation of buyers and sellers had once found the comfort of natural and regular prices, of wages not arbitrarily and uselessly raised,—the luxury of being rid of the oppression of Custom houses and Excise courts, and of the plague of a spreading host of revenue spies. Little could be said of the dignity of the circum stances out of which the State funds arise by any one who had seen others of the eases which Anna witnessed, and shish really amused her, and beguiled her of her apprehensions for a time. It seemed ridiculous that the King should, by his officers, be seriously com plaining of being injured by one man selling pepper without a license and another rem ov i ng w i ne w i t h out a perm i t, and a third having more brandy in his cellar than he de clared he had, and a fourths having rum under a certain strength among his stock, and a fifth forgetting to keep an entry book, and a sixth tying up his pasteboard in a wrong way, and a seventh having neglected one night to put down how much black tea he had sold in small quantities. It did not seem very dignified in any government to concern itself and worry its subjects about such matters as these." SERMONS AND FRAGMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO ISAAC BARROW, D.D., Now first collected from the MSS. in the University of Cam bridge, by the Rev. J. P. Lee, M. A. Fellowes, London, 1834. Sermons are the legitimate swords of the Christian church ; argument, the only gospel-approved buckler of the religion of the New Testament. Before the coming of Christ, preaching formed no part of the priestly func tions either among the Jews or Gentiles. To offer sacri fice, to burn incense. to perform ablutions, to attend the mysteries, and to propitiate the gods by prayers and pe nances, included the whole duty of the priests. Among the Jews it was usual to read some portion of the law in the synagogues on the Sabbath Day ; but the chil dren of any tribe, as well as those of Levi, were eligible to this office ; indeed, it appears from the fact of Christ reading and expounding the law in the synagogues, at the age of thirty, without seeming to attract any particular notice, that any person might read aloud in these assemblies of the people who considered himself competent ; though few besides the Rabbins are presumed to have so aspired. Christ was the first founder of religion who commanded his followers to promulgate by preaching the sacred revelations made to them. In almost every age this great instrument of salva tion was wielded in a different form. The immediate fol lowers of the Apostles, as Pollycarp and Dionysius, confined themselves wholly to explanations of the traditionary sayings of Christ, and the mysteries of his nativity and resurrection ; the ecclesiastics of the second century to the instruction of the catechumen ; and those of the third to writing apologies for the Christians. The Manichean, Nestorian, and Socinian heresies followed, employing every tongue in the Christian world till peace was restored, only to have it broken by the rivalry of fanatics professing the same faith. Of these Anthony, founder of the Egyptian Monks, and Augustin, of Hippo, of the Hermits, were the most conspicuous. Augustin had been a Manichean, of most licentious life before he became a Bishop, and as he was a profound scholar, very fanciful, and fond of mysterious allusions, his sermons did immense injury to the world by creating a false taste, and a love of reciting wonders in the pulpit. As the church became:more and more corrupt, preaching was relingnished altogether, ',lle: mendicant follr.wers and fr' l ';, 1,1 10 only labouri?d to thicker. the palPa" (LiT1771.9-74. their i - Inorant hcr, , J•er,s.

They opposed cortur tion by tl:e only means by" which they could hope to clrY up its sources ; and they succeeded. During this long s er i es o f centuries—from Polyea r P, to s Latimer—preaching was an address to the Pa sst . ° :, and the credulity of the people, and not to their i .l derstanding. Doctor Barrow was one o f th e first of divines who reformed and purified th e e l o quence of tP pulpit ; and who converted the pulpit itself from a rostrul: of invective against particular sect s an d tenets, into chair of moral philosophy.
