PACIFICATION OF THE COUNTRY.-MR. STEELE.—It is understood that Mr. O'CONNELL will send Mr. STEELE into Kilkenny, before his going to Louth, to get arms from the Hurlers and other insurgents of that county.—Pilot. At the Worcester Spring Assizes of 1557, after the trial of a cause, and just as Mr. Justice WILMOT waa about to sum up the evidence to the Jury, a stack of chimneys, falling upon the roof, brought tho whole down in ruins upon the Court below. Amidst, however, all the confusion occasioned by the terrible accident, a witty bar rister drily observed, that bay would be soon excessively cheap, as he had witnessed so heavy a fall among the stacks.— The Lawyer. About three or four years before the death of that excellent actor JACK PALMER, a tragfdy, written by a lady, was brought out at Drury-lane Theatre, in which there were three Bishops introduced, one of whom he played. On their first appearance there was a general laugh, and its unfortunate fate being considered decided, PALMER was resolved to clench the matter, which he did by gravely saving, with a sigh, when he next entered, "Oh ! I fear they will never stand us Bishops." It was true enough, for the curtain was finally dropped amidst confusion and noise. As a lady was proceeding to the theatre, Gran. ham, in a carriage, on Tuesday evening, to witnes ,, Mr. KEAN's Shyloch, some daring scoundrel got up behind the vehicle, the top of which he cut through, and seized an elegant comb which the lady wore in her hair. Though greatly alarmed, the lady contrived to snatch it from his grasp, and gave an immediate alarm, which, however, we are .orry to add, did not lead to the fellow's apprehension, although prompt and immediate steps were taken by the authorities.— Lincolnshire Chronicle. On Monday morning the officers of the Octroi stopped a private carriage at the Barriere du Trone. On searching it they found 141 h. of meat, which it was in tended to carry into Paris without paying the duty. A proces verbal was drawn up and signed by the par ties, the toaster of the carriage signing himself " Baron Louts, Peir de France, ancien Ministre des Fininces." This anecdote was related yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies, and made a happy diversion to the tediwusness of the sitting.—Cmstitutionnel. A POPULAR PREACHER.—A short time ago, one of the self elected class of Divines, who are not for common excessively College-bred, was holding forth ro his congregation upon a subject well calculated 'o arouse the attention of incorrigible hearts. After blazing away with his subject, until he had rendered Pandemonium as hot as Vesuvius, and as black as MARTIN'S Satan, he rounded a sublime peroration with the following sen tence, "Now hearken, ye sinners ! I tell ye that ye'll all go to h—l, as sure as I'll catch that 11. e on the Bible !" at the same time making a determined swoop with his palm across the sacred page, to capture the talismanic insect. He then proceeded to open his clenched fist, finger by finger, until the last digit was relaxed, hut behold the poor fly had eluded Lis grasp. Looking surprised and disap pointed fora few moments, the Minister at length ex claimed, "By the hoky, I've miss'd him I—there's a chance for you yet, ye sinful ragamuffins !"—Scotsman. The Ottoman Moniteur announces the ar rival at Constantinople of a Russian vessel with a cargo of 70 beautiful slaves, all of whom were eagerly bought by the Turkish lords at an average price of 7,000 piastres each. This journal adds that this was a most agreeable surprise to the faithful believers, who had begun to be alarmed lest the loss of Anapa, which was the great mar ket for Circassian and Georgian slaves, should have de prived them of the means of furnishing their harems with these beauties, so celebrated throughout the east.— Ga lignani's Messenger. HUNTINGDON.—A nest of swindlers has just been broken up at Godmanchester. A few weeks ago two per , ons, calling themselves corn dealers, took a house at that place for the purposes of cirrying on their trade, and soon commenced ordering various articles of housebo d utility of the different tradespeople there, but the absence of any appearance of that most useful and necessary article—cash, rendered their custom not much sought after even in these dull times; and excited suspicions that deal. ing in corn was not the only line of business they practised. The senior partner, having half a dozen aliases to his n ime, went to a neighbouring market a few Mondays ago, and purchased a sample of barley—to be paid for on de livery. The corn was duly taken at the time appointed; hut the farmer was told that the other partner had gone to Pe erhorough to get cash for a bill, and that it should be paid for on the following Monday. On this pretence, the unsuspecting farmer was induced to leave the barley On the following Thursday it was conveyed to St. Neot's market ; and being offered there considerably under the market price, suspicion was excited that it was . not honestly come by, and the party off e ring it was taken into custody. He has since undergone several examinations before the Magistrates ; but the farmer having attended to prove that he sold the corn, although we believe he has not received, nor is likely to receive, a farthing for it, the merchant has been acquitted, and we presume has made the best of his way out of the county, which precaution his partner had taken immediately on the discovery of the awkward circumstance at St. Neat's.... Cambridge C/tr.nicle. DREADFUL FIRE, AND TRULY MELAN. CHOLY LOSS OF LIFE.-(THIS DAY.) A dreadful fire burst forth this morning from the ba c k put of the house of Mrs. Manley, who has recently been left a widow, hut who still carried on the business of her late husband, that of a hair-merchant, at 103, Hatton garden. The fire was attended by a loss of life, rendered peculiarly affecting from the unhappy circumstances under which it originated. Mrs. Manley and three of her chil dren have, we lament to record, fallen victims to the de vouring element. The first notice the inmates had of their danger, was from a violent knocking at the door about seven o'clock, which awoke Susan Smith, the servant girl, and the only one kept, who slept in the back parlour with one of the children, Emma, aged 10 years. On going to the door she found two men, who informed her of her danger, and she instantly with them ran up into the back attic in which five of the children were sleeping, and having hastily alarmed them, ran down to the hack room on the first floor, where her mistress slept. The fl ames were then distinct , y visible in the" room, but her mistress was in bed asleep, anal unconscious of her danger. While she was endeavouring to arouse her, a large part of the floor fell in ; when, becoming alarmed for her own safety, she hastily ran into the street. The child Emma, who slept with her had previously escaped. The poor girl. Susan Smith, says, that had not her fears deprived her of presence of mind, she thinks she might securely, after rushing out of the back first fluor room in which her mis tress slept, have returned into the gairet, and saved some, i! not all, of the three young children, who unhappily have perished with their mother. The names of these children are Kitty and Susan, twins, aged 3} years, and Anna, aged 5. Tho-e who providentially escaped were Mary, aged 16. Sarah 14, Emma 10, Eliza 7, and Samuel But the most melancholy circumstance remains to be told, and that is the cause of the fire, which, there ap pears little doubt, is to be attributed to the circumstance of Mrs. Manley tieing in a delirious state of mind, and to her having been left by herself all night with a candle burning on the table. From the stem, nt of the servant we learn that her mistress has been for some months in a bad state of health, and was attended by Dr. Skinner, of Hatton garden. On Sunday last, she says, her mis tress first displayed symptoms of delirium, which by Wednesday had increased to what the girl calls ravine insanity. On that d,y she threw knives and other things at the girl and appeared impatient of her presence, whenever she had occasion to enter her room to wait on her. The girl saw but little of her after that day till half past nine o'clock last night, and then she observed nothing remarkable. She saw her again at half-past one o'clock this morning, when she went into her room to carry her some lemonade, and she then seemed in a great passion and threatened to murder her if she entered the room again. There were no inmates besides the family ; and the reason of the children sleeping crowded in one room was, the girl states, because the other rooms were being papered and painted. ?Mr. Manley died in March last, and is understood to have left a good property. His business was one of the first in its line ; anal, as the property was fully insured in the West of England Fire-office, there is at least a relief to this tale of misery in the hope that the survivors will be comfortably provided for. The arrivalof the fire-engines soon arrested the progress of the fire. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Buenos Ayres papers to the 4th of Nov., and Hobart Town papers to the Ist of August, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Buenos Ayres Paper of the 3d of Nov.) It will be seen from the following that the plot thickens in regard to the dispute between Paraguay and the province of Corrientes. Accounts from there state that its troops,under Col. Chico,occupied that part of the territory of Mescon, ap. pertaining to the province of Corrientes, which the dicta.. tor of Paraguay wished to usurp. The latter had not made any hostile movements. All the male population in Cor rientes were placed under arms, and batteries erected at various points. The Governor-General of the province of Corrientes, had i.sued a Proclamation addressed to the people of the Argentine Republic, feeling it incumbent upon him to give a slight sketch of the hostile conduct of the latter during the war of the independence. (From the Hobart Town Papers. ) We have received files of Sydney Papers to the 12th instant, and our Sydney neighbours have received no news from England of so late a date as we have already given to the public. Two ves.els, it is stated, are on their way for this colony with 600 free unmarried females on board. What the plague shall we do with them, inundated with petticoats all at once, and then to keep them out of mischief ? We have had continual rain for the last ten days; and our accounts from all parts represent the ground as com pletely saturated, and that the labours of the agriculturists are suspended. We are happy to state that the colonial whaling hes been very successful this season. The failure of the turnip crop, together with the pre sent inclement season, has rendered butchers' meat very scarce. (From the Launceston Paper.) VAN DIEMAN'S LAND, JULY 10.—It appears to us a very unjust as well as impolitic measure on the part of the British Government to send out as emigrants to this co lony so great a number of pensioned veterans, who have fought and bled for their country's cause, during the hest of their days, and are totally unfit to become hardworking settlers ; their little plot of land is sold, the money rx p nded, and they become destitute and wretched, a misery to themselves, and a burden to esciety. Such an end of days is not what they ought to expect. We have no arrivals of importance or any political infor mation worth communicating at present, therefore we are dull in the city, as usual on Saturday mornings. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 86-1, for the Account, with nothing d.,ing of consequence Nothing official has as yet transpired in respect to the despatches from Holland, an indication that the negotia tions are still going on. The defeat of the Turks by the Egyptians does not appear so disastroin as was at first stated, and we have no doubt that the interference of Eng land and France will prevent the capture of Constantinople by Ibrahim Pacha. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Since the early part of the morning, when Consols were heavy at 86i for the account, a material change has taken place in the market, and an improvement may be quoted of near one-half per cent., and they are now fin ; this rise is attributed to the Dutch Government having sent a favourable answer to the explanation required by our Mi nistry respecting the Scheldt. In the Foreign Market great purchases have been made in Dutch Stock, which bus also improved to 44i. Duo Pedro's agents here are very active in preparing for him all descriptions of stores and men to send to Oporto. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for the Account, 87i. It is stated that the East India Company are about making great alterations in their establishment; that the warehouses in the East India Docks are to be aban doned ; and that they will form extensive establishments at Liverpool. A corn market is to be established at Stour port, on Tuesday in each week ; the gentle nen in the neighbourhood have determined to commen,e it on ti,e sth of February. A room has been erected over the market-house, which the trustees intend to allow the use of to those attending the market. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, JAN, 23, 1833.

" The Lights and Shadows of German Life" are replete with incidents, scenes, and characters that wil , dwell upon the mind they have amused, and elicit enduring trains of philosophic and moralizing thought. They are occasionally rich in the met4playsical traits of the German school, but without its puzzling obscurity and mysticism ; two or three of them have the conciseness and wit of VoLTAines sparkling romances, but without their heart less depraved ribaldry and mephistophilian sophistry of alt that is sacred or virtuous. We are confident that ,‘ The Lights and Shadows of German Life" will be one of the most popular works of this season.—Court Mag. LORD GEORGE LENNOX. Cape Barracks, Jan. 10, 1833, MY DEAR LORD GEORGE, Some time since the officers of the regiment unani mously resolved to present you with a piece of plate, which is now finished. In consequence of the melancholy death of Colonel Gretwolde, it devolves upon me to communicate this to you. We offer it to you as a token of our affectionate regard, and to mark how sensible we are of your invari able kindness to every individual during the time we had the pleasure of being under your command. With our united best wishes for your happiness and welfare, believe me, &c. &c. &c., (Signed) J. RATCLIFFE, Major 6th Dragoons. The Lord George Lennox, late Lieut.-Colonel of the 6th Enniskillen Dragoons. MY DEAR RATCLIFFE, Bognor, 16th Jin., 1833. I have received your lettr r of the 10th instant, announc ing the honour conferred on me by the officers of the Enniskillen Dragoons, in presenting me with a pie:e of plate. The happiness I experienced in the society of my bro ther officers, during the period I had the pleasure to com mand the regiment, can only be equalled by the grateful recollection of the unanimous and zealous support I inva riably received from them in what was, and ever will be, most dear to me—the honour and character of the Ennis killen Dragoons. I accept of their gift as a mark of the ties of affection and of duty which bound us together; and .while I deplore the melancholy event that has made you the channel of communication to me on this occasion, my regr. t is, I confess, coupled with satisfaction at receiving it through lin officer whom I shall always esteem and re• spect, and in whose hands, I sincerely hope, the future charge of the Enniskillens will be placed. It only remains for me to entreat you to submit to my I rte brother officers the deep and lasting sense I shall ever entertain of their kindness towards me ; nor can I refrain from adding that the invaluable proof of confidence, re ,ed, and approbation, thus evinced by them, will, to the latest hour of my life, be estimated by me far beyond any other honour that could possibly be conferred on me. Believe me to be. &c. &c. &c., (signed) GEORGE LENNOX, Major Ratcliffe, Com. of the Enniskillen Dragoons. MR. HARVEY AND THE BAR. It will be recollected, that when Mr. Harvey brought forward his last motion before the House of Commons, for inquiry relative to the practice of the Inns of Court, 'he then Attorney-General (Sir Thomas Denman) engaged that the matter should be submitted to the examination of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state and practice of the law. In the spirit of this promise, and re• solute upon the inquiry—both upon public and personal grounds—Mr. Harvey, it would seen, has lost no time in following the matter up; and in answer to an application to Lord Melbourne, as the Principal Home Secretary of State, that the Commissioners might be fully instructed upon the subj-et, the Noble Lord has addressed the follow ing letter to Mr. Harvey:— " Whitehall, Jan. 14, 1833. " Sir,-1 have the honour of acknowledging your letter of the 20th ult., which I should have done earlier, had I not been naturally desirous of consulting, before I replied to it, the Lord Chancellor, and the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. I trust that this consideration will be sufficient to ex cuse any apparent delay. I have now to acquaint you that I have this day caused a let ter to be written to the Law Commissioners, directing them to make the inquiry which you have suggested ; and I have the honour to remain, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, " To D. W. Harvey, Esq., M.P. " MELBOURNE. 7, Great George.street." ~-;) LORD EXMOUTH. We have to announce the death of Lord Exmouth,Vice- Admiral of England. He expired at half-past six on Wednesday morning, in the 67th year of his age, at his house at Teignmouth, and surrounded by his family, one of whom, the Rev. Edward Pellew, Dean of Nor wich, had only arrived in time to take his sorrowing stand by the death-bed on which the most honoured hero of the British navy, and a man the most amiable in all the social endearments of domestic life, was closing his lasi scene. His Lordship bad been for a considerable time suffering under severe illness, in the first stage of which he became quite delirious, and was wholly engro , sed with the idea that he was then actually engaged in fighting the Dutch fleet. A few days before his death he appeared to feel himself better, and, in noticing the improvement, said, " I have lately been going to leeward, but now I think I am working to windward again." He has left two sons, the present Lord Exmouth, a Captain in the Navy, and the Hon. Captain Fleetwood Pellew ; and, we believe, one daughter, Lady Halstead. His funeral, in obedience to his own wishes, is to be strictly private. Every reader of our ❑aval annals must be familiar with his long and brilliant career of service during the eventful war of 1793. At the commencement of that contest, he received the honour of Knighthood for the first capture of a French frigate, and a few years after be was further re• warded with the dignity of Baronet, for his heroic bene volence in saving, at the imminent hazard of his own life, the whole crew of the Dutton, when that ship was driven on shore in a dreadful gale at Plymouth. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. In consequence of the unexpected absence of Mr. KEAN last night, Mr. BONN, the stage-manager, came forward, and expressed his regret that he was compelled to appear RS an apologist. Mr. KEAN, he observed, was to have sustained the character of Othello, but the management had been informed, but not in time to post notices outside of the house, that that gentleman was unable to attend.— (Much outcry.) Instead of Mr. KEAN, his Secretary had arrived, and from him they had learned that Mr. KEAN, on entering his coach, for the purpose of coming to town, was seized with so violent a paroxysm of gout as rendered it impossible for him to pursue his journey. —(A voice from the gallery—" Will you return as our money ?") Mr. BuNN—" Most certainly."—(Applause.) Mr. BONN proceeded to say, " Ladies and Gentlemen, if you wish to see the tragedy of Othello performed, Mr. MACREADY re taining the part of logo, and Mr. COOPER, on the spur of the occasion, assuming that of Othello, the business shall proceed.—(Much applause, and cries of " Yes, yes.") But if, Ladies and Gentlemen, you disapprove of this arrange- ment, your money shall be cheerfully returned."—(Cries of "Go on, go on.") The tragedy then proceeded. Mr. MACREADY played with more than ordinary excellence. Mr. COOPER undertook the Moor at a marvellously short notice; and, that point being admitted, acquitted himself in a manner which called for a higher praise than that of mere respectability. MisaPfilturs's Desdemona always commands our sympathies ; in this instance she eminently did so. The tragedy, though shorn of its greatest supporter, went off extremely well. Mr. KEA N, we understand, is dangerously ill. His absence was occasioned by bona fide pain and weakness. THE SKATEP.S IN THE REGENT'S PARK :Wednesday, owing to the severity of the frost on the preceding night, the ice on the Serpentine lake was ad inirable. Many of the members of the Club were there among whom Captain Trotter took the lead in all the many rounds of figure -movements. We ought not to omit that the following gentlemen were among those who excelled ; indeed they rerirrided us of the days of the Duke f Argyll (when Marquis of Lorn,) the Earl of Jersey, the Hon, Arthur Upton, and Capt. Caulfield :—The Marquis Clanricarde, Mr. Shepheord, Mr. Beaumont, Mr. Fre derick Fielding, Mr. Holmes, Mr. Henry Troward, Mr. George and Mr. Henry Chilton, and the Hon. Frederick Byng. The day was brilliantly fine. An invention of great novelty was introduced. It is a skate with grooves of iron at the side, through which the sole of the boot slides (the latter being made to fit the skate,) and wilt the support of a single strap the evolutionist glides over the glassy surface as light as air. We hear that a patent is preparing for this " march of mind !" SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday an In• quest was held at the Three Compasses, White Hart-yard, Drury-lane, on the body of Mr. Wat. 13 xowri, landlord Hof that house. On Tuesday evening the deceased left home on business, about 12 o'clock a hackney -coach drove to the door, the driver of which told Mrs. BROWN t'mt he had brought home a lodger of here ;rho had met .vith an accident. On the coach door being opened, she saw her husband lyi ng co il e d up at the bottom of the I coach. He said to her " Mary, I have been run tmr ; this will part you and me." He, at a subsequent time, when more collected, told her that he was crossing the road near the Surrey Theatre, and was knocked down by the horses of a gentleman's carriage, and the wheels passed over him; that he felt the fore wheel pass over him, and dreaded the passing of the second. The coachman did not stop, and deceased was assisted into the hackney -coach. He expired on Thursday afternoon. On his body being opned, an hemorrhage was found proceeding from a rupture of the spleen, and a portion of the lower intes tines, which had filled the body with blood.... Verdict, Accidental death. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAI S In noticing yesterday Dr. Arnold's pamphlet on Church Reform, and in stating that, with many sound and enlightened observations, it contained a plan of Reform which we think im er a c e e t s i s c i a t y b e o , f e w x T a m h i a n v i e n red g th l i e a t v e pla o n u i r n s e d l e v t e a s i l f , r t o h m o u t g h h e n w e have engaged to state its outline. The Rev. Doctor, being unable to call back the stray sheep of dissent into the existing ecclesiastical fold, would enlarge the fold so as to include thn whole Christian flock, and allow them to feed on a common pasture. In this project he is, of course, met with objections, arising from a difference of creed, a difference of ritual, a dif ference of church government, and a difference of church discipline. The Socinian or Arian, who has fewer tenets of faith than the 39 articles of the Church of England—the Pres byterian or the Independent, who has no liturgy —and the more numerous sects who dislike prelacy—could not be supposed to form a very harmonious union with an establishment which has hitherto despised their religious scruples, and even, till lately, refused their admission to all the civil privileges of the state. Without some understanding on this point, it would be vain to expect that there could be any cordial union, or that the common league of the secta rians against the alleged intolerance of their harsh stepmother, who ejected them from the secular part of their inheritance, should be broken. Even though, in the language of Paley (we believe), they should "agree to differ," and conform only in a declaration of the very few principles common to all, we do not see that anything would be gained by such a result beyond making a kind of ecclesiastical Noah's ark, in which, as in the ark of old, all living varieties of creed and worship should enter with out changing the nature, character, or habits of any. If such be the object that is meant to be attained, it is already attained in France, where the pastors of all religions, even including Jewish rabbis, are paid by the state ; or in the United States of North America, where none of them are paid at all. The following very curious Ras sage from the interesting and instructive work of Mr. Stuart, lately published, entitled " Three Years in North America" (to which we hope soon to call the attention of our readers), shows the latitudinarianism of our trans-Atlantic bre thren ; but surely their example will not form the beau ideal for an ecclesiastical esta , blishment advocated by a clergyman of the Church of England. The scene described is in the state of New York:— " The horses and carriages were tied up in great sheds near the church doors during the time of service. 'D ere as nothing remarkable in the first part of the service. The day was hot, and the precentor, as usual, in the centre of the front gallery, opposite to the minister, officiated not only without a gown, but without a coat on his back. There was some sort of instrumental muaic—hautboys and bassoons, I think—against which there are, as we hear. no prejudices in this country. The clergyman, a very unaf fected, sincere-looking person, delivered a plain, sensible discourae, in which he introduced the names of Dr. ecA E : ot ra nlsase k ii ) i itn:ifeer considering sermonti w veryD he r. r where awtowd Chalmers, ere which on sounded b o w western r a n t r siden g e of us r e , m the s m dre t m h: d F h i i l s l s he o a f re N n iag i a n ra e . om A o s t o th eh e terms as these My friends, the sacrament of th- Lord's Supper is to be dispensed here this evening. This is a free church, open to 1 0 4—Presbyterians, Methodis , sa Baptists, and other denominations of Christians. This is according to our belief. All are invited; the risk is theirs.' Such liberality is, we find on inquiry, not un usual among the clergymen and congregations of different sects, with the exception, in general, of Unitarians. I observe an example, not of recent date, recorded in Ho sack's " Life of Clinton," already referred to; and as it re lates to the great father of the United States, and is of unquestionable authority, resting on the testimony of a clergyman to whom Dr. Jones related the facts, I think it of sufficient interest for insertion. While the American army, under the command of Wasbin.4tan, lay encamped in the environs of Morristown, New Jersey, it occurred that the service of the communion (then observed semi annually only) was to he administered in the Presbyterian church of that village. In a morning of the previous wiek the General, after his accustomed inspection of the camp, visited the house of the Rev. Dr. Jones, then pastor of that church, and, after the usual preliminaries thus accosted him Doctor, I understand that the Lord's Supper is to be celebrated with you next Sunday. I would learn, if it accords with the canons of your church to ad mit communicants of another denomination ?' The Doc tor rejoined, ' Most certainly. Ours is not the Presby terian table, Genera!, but the Lord's table; and we hence give the Lord's invitation to all his followers, of whatever name.' The General replied, lam glad of it; that is as it ought to be; but, as I was not quite Imre of the fact, I thought I would ascertain it from yourself, as I propose to join with you on that occasion. Though a member of the Church of England, I have no exclusive partialities.' The Doctor re-assured him of a cordial welcome, and the General was found seated with the com municants the next Sabbath.' " During my residence in the United States subsequent to this period, I was frequently witness to tt:e good under standing which generally, though doutitl-ss not universally, prevails among c'ergymen professing diff,rent opinions on church forms, and doctrinal points, in this country; and I occasionally observed notices in the newspapers to the same purport. The two following I have preserved : ' The corner-stone of a new Baptist church was laid at Savannah, in Georgia, and the ceremonial services were performed by the clergymen of the Alethodist, German Lutheran, Pseshyterian, Episcopal, and Baptist Churches. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered in tie Rev. Mr. Poses church (Presbyterian church at Washington), and, as usual, all members of other churches in regular standing were invited to unite with the mem bers of that church, in testifying their faith in, and love to, their Lord and Saviour. The invited guests assembled around the table, and it co happened that Mr. Grundy, a senator from Teneese, and two Cherokee Indians were seated side by side.'" That the project of Dr. Arnold does not much differ from the practice of the Americans, except that the whole English Church, including all varieties of Christians, is to form a state establishment, and to be directed by a central government, will be evident from the slightest perusal of the latter part of his pamphlet. " The problem," he says truly, " is to unite in one church different opinions, and different rites and ceremonies." From this union he shows after wards that no sectarians need be excluded, ex cept Roman Catholics, Unitarians, and Quakers; hut even they may be at last brought in. " The Quakers, Roman Catholics, and Unitarians," says he, "appear to offer great difficulty, and un doubtedly so long as these sects preserve exactly their present character, it would seem impractica ble to comprehend them in any national Christian Church ; but (he adds) the harshest and most offensive part of the peculiarities of every sect has always arisen from the opposition of their antagonists. If, then, instead of devising forms so positive and controversial as to excite mis trust of their accuracy, we were to make our language general and comprehensive, it is pro bable that those who differ from us would soon begin to consider the subject in a illfferent tem per." The Rev. Doctor, therefore, though orthodox no doubt himself, declares fOr a creed of very few articles ; and, so far from inventing tests to detect latent errors, would use a formula so comprehensive as to cover all existing he resies. Having thus disposed of creeds and confessions in a way that they shall form no bar to Christian unity, our Rev. R , :former h :ds greater difficulty in dealing with ditiele,ices the forms of public worship and in the nature of Church government. But he justly observes, that in proposing alterations " in this part of our .4 . l7_ I
