BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Eighth Edition, corrected, forming part of the Family Library. The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in our his• tory, whether considered in relation to politics or religion ; for its influence WAS most powerful upon both. The reading, profession, and taste of the author have led him to reg-rd it in the latter rather than in the former light ; and, therefore, brief as the sketch is, it will not be found of the nature of an abridgment of larger histories, but a co:AL:nous though succinct account of Its rise, progress, and consum mation, chiefly considered as a great revolution of the Church of England.

Jo - . .., b -,..,„. ~. . of a vast wilderness for penal settlements, shut out from the civilisation and science and associations of the mother country by more than 5,000 leagues of ocean, it has raised itself, since the beginning of the present century, to the rank of. a com mercial empurium, and the seat of one of the finest staples which enters into the consumption of the markets of Europe —namely, its wool--does but supply the proof of latent capa ci ti yet un tried ii.nd inherent re,lo - arces yet undeveloped. Of all the families descended from the great German stock, the Anglo-Saxon race has pushed furthest the career of perma nent establishments and colonization. It may be allowed to a B iton to contemplate, with pride and gratification, the noble spectacle which every quarter of the globe presents of the triumphs achieved by the hereditary genius of his nation in reclaiming barbarous lands, and elevating the rude and savage tribes whom it has found there in the scale of human intelligence and social improvement. If, in some very few instances, the effect of generous treatment, of liberal en couragement to those wild aborigines, at the hands of British authorities, have not hitherto been followed by the beneficent results that, as a general consequence, are planted in " new countries" with the British flag, we may be assured that sufficient time has not yet elapsed since our occupation —or that circumstances, in themselves sufficiently favourable, have not yet occurred—for overcoming the enormous power of national habits, the strength of early-inculcated super stition, or the brutalising effects of a gross and benighted ignorance, and ages of prescriptive indulgence in sensual and vindictive criminality. If the Bushmen at the Cape of Good Hope, or the nameless nomadic tribes rho wander over the interior wastes of New Holland, still continue inaccessible to the mild conquests of our influence and our example, we must have patience. We may be very sure that public opinion at home would not permit our au thorities abroad to neglect the great duties that devolve on the representatives of the Queen of all civilised States iu the native regions of the unreclaimed savage. Besides, the dictates of self-interest, although a more sordid, would be by no means a less efficient motive to the adoption of a kindly and improving policy towa-ds the aborigines by those who had come to live among them. But the Engli,h free settlers, the " squatters," and the farmers of our various territories in New Holland, complain that the native tribes (incited in many cases, no doubt, by the runaway convicts, deserters from merchant ships, from our men-of-war, and from the whaling vessels of the United State*, who take to the " bush"), are of predatory habits so incorrigible, that it is be coming impossible to preserve large flocks on sheep-walks which are situate far inland, or in districts more adjacent to the sea, but in the vicinity of the native 'haunts., from wholesale plunder and destruction. We are sorry to find from the last file of Australian papers we have seen that these depredations are becoming so frequent and so extensive as to have quite disheartened some of the flock-masters. Their apprehensions are aggravated by the vexatious operation of the extremely impolitic pasture licenses, which the local Government per sists in requiring owners of any stock exceeding a given number, to take out at a cost which is really extravagant in a country that circulates so little money. Many of them, finding that the encouragement they once had for their itAlustry and enterprise (and their long and perilous journeys in quest of new sheep and cattle walks rendered them the pioneers of geographical dis covery through the stupendous solitudes of that still imper fectly explored fifth continent), have abandoned the useful pursuits of grazing altogether, except on the limited scale of small stock-farms. They are now driving what we conceive to be a most pernicious trade, destructive in the long run to their own meant, although at the present it is bringing them in very heavy returns.. This trade is strictly analogous to that which a fanner at home, here, would be considered to be driving, who should first have made up his mind to the sacrifice of all the previous outlay he had been at, and then betake himself to living, as well as trading, upon capital, instead of profits. The Austra lian colonists, who in past years exported the finest wools in the world to the English and to other markets, have now adopted pretty generally the practice tf boiling or melting down the carcasses of their sheep for the slice of the tallow—a commodity which is, at present, the subject of profitable export from their shores. Of course it will now be their purpose not to follow in the foot steps of 3PARTHUR, and the other provident founders of Australian prosperity, in times past, by assiduous attention to and an enterprising outlay upon the continued improve ment of the quality of their fleeces and the mode of preparing them for the consumers in Europe, and especially in Great Britain ; but to feed their sheep and their oxen for the sake of the tallow. Any more improvident wa-te of means in a young colony we cannot picture to ourselves. By the same remarkable law of nature which pervades almost the entire of the lands included within the enormous limits occupied by the Polynezia, Australia is singularly poor in the larger mammalia adapted either for the food or the service of man. Our readers need not to be reminded that all its flocks and , its herds, add even its poultry, are of British importation or descent. The area of New Holland may be roughly stated as a square, every side of which is 2,000 miles in extent. Within these extraordinary dimensions all the types of animal life in its higher organisation, including beasts as well as the human race, are rare and inferior in the inverse ratio of the inconceivable srace allotted to them. So far as regards the races of man, there can be no doubt that this scarcity of ani- mals is not only in itself, but in its reaction on the products of the vegetable kingdom, a main cause of the paucity of the native population. In such a state of things it is impossible to estimate too highly the utility of the sheep in supplying the deficient quantum of animal and of vegetable food. To con sume sheep for the sake of their tallow, is to cut off the supply both of the one and of the other at its fountain- head. We are astonished that in an age like this, when not only meats of all kinds can be so economically and so effectively preserved, both by the older but more expensive, by antiseptic preparations and by the still more certain and more largely applicable processes of air• exhaustion and air-tight packing — but when the victualling of foreign shipping in the Southern and Pacific Ocean is a trade, as lucrative as it is at times, for want of supplies, precarious —the curing or preserving of matter has not proved a main object of colonial ingenuity and patience. If the duty on raw wools in England, and the absurd restrictions on the more extensive depasturing of sheep in Australia by reason of the colonial license system, render the growing of wool a failing specula tion at present, of course the Australian colonist cannot be expected to pursue it. But, in the meantime, there is nothing to prevent him from turning his grazing to bet ter account than by melting down its products. His wools might be warehoused against that better market I which every day is more nearly opening for him ; and his carcasses might surely be cured under the application of a little of that energy and cleverness which he has shown in so many other instances—to an extent that would not only, as in Scotland and the north of England, supply the families of the settler with a nutritious article of doniestic trade at home (dried mutton, mutton hams, &c.), but furnish the staple of a most lucrative trade with all the shipping which frequent the harbours of Sydney, Port Philip, Adelaide, &c. &c. Redundant millions of sheep might thus, in the course of a very few years, be converted into many scores of thousands of ready money, without extinguishing, in the melting coppers, the principles of capital and subsist ence for as long an interval, in exchange for an inconsider able present return. The Anti-31avery Society has issued a very small publics Lion, but one comprehending many facts of great importance, entitled " Results of Emancipation in the British Colonies." It will be read with delight by every friend of hu manity, and the people of this country who, even before the experiment was made, never grudged the amount, will now rejoice that 20,000,0001. were ea. pended for such a purpose. This grant for a bene ficent object, for the relief of the oppressed, as well as an inducement to secure kind treatment from their former masters, has no parallel in the history of any state, and has gaiu?d for these islands a ' character for generosity and philanthropy which neither malice nor national anti pathies ever dare to gainsay. And while we praise the British nation, it is only an act of justice to pay the same tribute to the objects of its benevolence, who have shown themselves worthy of the favour. In 1831, the West India body issued a manifesto, in `which they stated, that " the speedy annihilation of slavery would be attended with the devastation of the West India colonies—with loss of lives and property to the white inhabitants—with inevitable distress and misery to the black population—and with a fatal sho c k t o th e commercial credit of the empire." To show how the prophecy has failed, we quote a paragraph from the pamphlet :—" In no one particular has this sinister prediction been fulfilled. The transition from slavery to freedom was most tranquil —not a single proprietor or white man was injured, either in per son or property ; the emancipated slaves have derived the greatest benefits from that act of justice ; the credit of the West Indies is better now than during .the exist ence of slavery ; and the commercial intercourse between Great Britain and the Colonies, has been, in every respect, improved by its abolition. Individuals ma y have suffered, and may still be suffering from this great ev en t ; b u t the great mass of the pop ulation, the proprietors as well as the labourers, have derive d the hi g hest advanta g e from it. rrli add the Lord tliep s ul T ic A y Of emancipation mxy, many has been safety, beentie and ma wnstraetellay. And'' years after this great act of justice and mercy took place, confirms the statement. "It will be found,' said he, " that since the emancipation the negroes have been thriving and contented ; that they have raised their manner of living, and multiplied their comforts and enjoyments ; that their offences against the laws have become more and more light attd unfrequent ; that their morals have improved ; that marriage has been more and more substituted for concu binage ; and that they are eager for education, rapidly ad vancing in knowledge, and powerfully influenced by the mi nisters of religion." These are facts which cannot be dis puted, nor can the following picture of the precious results of emancipation be denied:— " The whip no longer sounds in their ears, as the stimulant to labour and the instrument of torture ; the fetter no longer galls th e i r limbs; the niarket-place no longer beholds them submitted for sale Is lots to suit purchasers ; the anguish of forcible separation is no longer felt or feared ; instruction is no longer interdicted ; the preaching ofthe Gospel lane longer forbidden. Masters of their own persons and their own labour, the emancipated slaves can now bestow it when and where they please, as may best suit their taste, or serve their inte rests—the marriage-tie hallows and blesses their unions—th e rela tions of parents and children exist, and cannot be severed by the caprice or will of slave-c"sters—the chastity of woman can no loner be vielitt,il v:;;!, north e heiirtS not tiers lacerated by ri to N Ire!: vcrc __--ssfw— Ti,, wid(ll is to the llth inst., is of a gloomy character. Universal distrust prevails; the city is kept tranquil solely by the w military, and, on the return of NAEVAEZ from Panweluna, evld probably be placed in a state of siege. " Two leaders of banditti, named MANUEL SASTRE, alias EL PERDON, and FELIPPE PERtz," says the Heraldo, " have this day suffered the penalty of the law. The peace of Madrid has net been disturbed, although an im mense crowd has attended their execution." No business was done on the Bourse on the llthc The Paris journals are much occupied NI ith the affairs of Spain, and with reason, for some new outbreak in that de voted country appears imminent. The Cabinet gives little satisfaction, several of the Government journals have turned against it, and from the tone assumed by the Paris Preset, the organ of CIIRISTINA, it is evident that NARVAEZ and she are not the best friends. NARVAEZ, in fact, is liked by no party, if we except the army, and that will cling to him only as long as Fe is able to pay it. " The position of the NAR VAEZ Ministry," says the Pi &se, "is without example in the history of constitutional governments. It has opposed to it the Carlists, the Progressists, the Conservatives, tl•e whole press of Madrid, the provinces, and foreign nations ; it is attacked with equal violence by those who wish to let loose revolution and those who wish to enchain it; by the Tiempo, the Globo, and the Hcraldo, who demand the appli cation of the representative system in all its purity; by the Clamor Pular°, the Especiador, and the Eco dd Cornercio, who do not think the Constitution sufficiently revolutinary; and by the Conciliador, the Esperanza, end the Cafolico, who find it too liberal. In the face of this universal oppositi , n, which is made with a conjunction, a boldness and force of reason and expression which cannot be misunderstood, the Ministry preserves the most inexplicable coolness and confi dence. It retains on its side the Posdata alone, a jour nal not more than twice as big as a man's hand, and of which it makes use, not in its defence, but to provoke the eight or ten other journals, some of which have remarkable influence, which are at the d'Sposal of its adversaries." The France says :-" Spain is more than ever given up to riet-to sudden and sanguinary revolutionary agitations. Scarcely has the young QUEEN had time to turn her eyes away from the barbarous spectacles presented to her by the northern provinces, than she, on arriving at Madrid, has to behold more precious blood flowing from the veins of the citi zens of her capital. Let ters:% Lich have reached us from Madrid are filled with sinister prognostications. At the departure of the mail, alarming reports were in circulation of a new insurrectional movement. It was said that the conspirators were about to attempt something more serious than the last riot. In fine, it was announced that a manifestation was to be made that very evening. Thus menaced daily, hourly, momentarily, the Spanish Government cannot remain much longer under illusien as to the perils of death with which tom this time it is surrounded." The National and Courrier Francas write in still stronger terms, and assert, with much truth, that a military Govern ment now oppresses Spain, and retain office against the al most universal wish of the country. The French Court, as well as Cabinet, have much to answer for. The expulsion of Esraserano and the destruction of the Constitution were ac complished by Frelich money and French intrigue. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the KING did not take his usual out-door exercise on Mon day at Eu. The Minister of Marine arrived at the chateau in the afternoon. On the subject of Marshal BUGEAUD'S Vita to Marshal Soo LT, the Algerie says :- " Marshal Bugeaud arrived at Soultberg on the morning of the 9th, and left on the 11th. The first interview of the two Marshals was too long for us to believe that they immediately fell into accord. It lasted from ten in the morning till live in the afternoon. As might be expected, after the last acts of the Governor-General of Algeria, Marshal Ilugeaud has yielded all the points which were in litigation between him and the Government. We are assured that the Mar shal, Deputy for Excideull, begins to comprehend what every one else is now convinced of-' that his time in Algiers is finished, and that he has done all the good he could do there.' It is only to be re gretted that he did not retire after his campaign of last year."

Sales, about 7,000 ,br - Igs, including 1,500 American, on speculation. The market was very freely supplied.—A good business was done in shares. At an early hour this morning the arrival off port of the Severn steamer from the West Indies was announced, but up to the present hour we have net had any letters or papers dAixercd. There are some later accounts from Brazil, but nothing of interest is to be noticed in them. • " A short and sure Guide to Railway speculation" has just been published, a copy of which is before us, by Effingham Wilson. 'the author says that operations in railway shares are of three First. Purchases in the shares of lines already esta blished. " Second. Purchases in the scrip of lines projected, or in the course of construction. •"Third. Application for original shares in newly-pro jected lines." For the information of the public, we may usefully quote the following:— " Purchases of Scrip in projected or unfinished lines can only be made with safety under good information and ad vice as to their immediate or ultimate prospects ; and not even then unlrss the buyer is prepared to pay the whole of the calls. For example, a single call of 5/. may have been made upon a 50/. share, and it may be at a premium 42/. In buying 20 of these shares at 71. each (51. paid and 'l. premium), it is not sufficient to be able to pay the 1-i-C/. which they would first cost; the buyer must also be prepared kor see his way clearly) to pay the remain ing 000/. if necessary. Unless so prepared there is no safety ' in railway speculation. " A call may be made at a moment when prices have fallen, and, if unprepared to pay it, the . unfortunate holder must sell, however great may be the sacrifice; but if his en gagements are'not beyond his means of meeting them, he has only to hold on steadily, and sooner or later (unless the line was a mere bubble) he will have an opportunity of selling at a profit. By adhering to this one rule, the writer of these remarks (who is a mere amateur in railway speculation) has during ten years, never sold a single share at a loss. He has held ;hares upon which he had paid 40/. each, till they gradually fell to 20!., and has sold them at last at 741. One of the best times for purchasing in unfinished lines is when prices are depressed, .as they often will be , in conseq uence of previous holders finding it inconvenient to pay their calls."

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast commenication, and form a connexion with lines already established or nrojected with reasonable hopes of success. it will cam.nence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating oa itsroute the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Houivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Bantle, Kitalla, Swineford, Streamstown, end Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armada, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Water.oril, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line wit cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive coinminileation which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is mo.t fertre in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all p ats of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines o: railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant pans of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns or any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal colimunication between the two countries, It is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses abundantly simply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports will afford t h e g reatest facilities for the shipping of this portion o; trade, some idea or the extent of which may be formed from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its lotmediato vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. it Las been ascertained that the country presents great engineering acilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first Al:posits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ;to vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of the company. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready 'or nignature on payment of the ,etto,its. It will be rwea from the plan that the railway intersects many main lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a eon siderrble amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must be realised on the capital.

DEATH OF P. GREENALL, ESQ., M.P.—WIGAN, SEPT. 18.—This highly respectable gentleman expired at half-past one o'clock to-day, at his residence in St. Helen's. Mr. Greenall was the Conservative Member for the borough of Wigan, to which he was elected at the last general election in conjunction with Mr. T. B. Crosse, of Shaw-hill, near Chorley, but who was unseated on peti tion. Mr. Greenall had once before, unsuccessildly, stood for Wigan in conjunction with the late John Hodson Kearsley, Esq. 31r. Greenall was held in the highest estimation by all parties in this neighbourhood of all politics, and his loss will be most severely felt in his immediate neighbourhood, being the proprietor of very extensive manufactories. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—It is now officially an nounced that this theatre will be opened on Saturday, the 27th inst. As before, under the present management, it will be devoted exclu sively to opera and ballet. The female vocalists will be Madame Anna Thillon, Miss looser, Miss 'Uniform, Miss Poole, the cele brated, and yet unheard, Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, and a debutante, Miss Ilelen 1.411 Q. Mr. Allen is engaged as a tenor in addition to Mr. W. Harrison, while the " bass and baritone" department gets a rein forcement by the engagement of Mr. H. Phillips, who will appear in addition to Messrs. Burdini, Borrani, and Weiss. .At the head of the ballet department stands the excellent danseuse Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre. Her name is fo lowed by those of Mademoiselle Flora Fabri, a lady yet unknown to the English public, and the favourite artist, Mademoiselle Plunkett. Ai. Schira is to be the conductor of the orchestra. A new opera by Mr. Benedict, and another by 31r. Wallace, are mentioned among the forthcoming novelties. Meyer beer's Camp of Silesia, produced last year in Germany, is to be per limed ; and Mr. Balm speaks in his programme of "pending trea ties" with MM. Scribe and Donizetti for a new grand opera M. St. Georges and 31. Albert are to unite in the construction of a new ballet called La Fille de Marbre, with Adolphe Adam's music, and the Parisian ballet Le Diable a quatre is to be performed. The pro gramme certainly indicates great spirit and enterprise, and the manager seems to have engaged all the available talent for the pur poses to which he has devoted his theatre. A stronger company is, we believe, at the present day, impossible.—Times. RAILWAY COLLISION.—WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 18.— A collision took place yesterday at the Oakenshaw Station on the Midland Railway, but fortunately no serious injury to the pas sengers was sustained. The train from Leeds to Derby, which was due at half-past 10 A.M., did not arrive until 20 minutes after its time, and there being a great number of passengers going from Oakenshaw to Swinton (Doncaster) station on account of the races, at least 20 minutes more elapsed without any immediate appearance of moving on. At this moment the train from Hull came up, following on the same line of rails, and dashed into the catriagea of the Derby train. Most providentially several of the other carriages of the Derby trans had been drawn back from the main body to admit of others being placed intermediate. These carriages received the blow ; but having some space to be driven forwaed before they struck the other portion of the train, the severity of the collision was ma terially checked. However, the shock in the carriages most re moved was severely felt. The Hull train, moreover, was slackening its speed to stop at the station. Hat it been the express instead of the Hull train which was to follow shortly afterwards, and which does not stop at Oakenshaw, but dashes through like a flash of lightning, every soul must have perished. As it was, several persons sustained severe cuts and bruises, and the greatest alarm was occa sioned to all. Prince George of Cambridge was in his own carriage, open, on a truck, at the extreme cud of the Hull train, so that he would certainly have suffered severely, if he had not been killed, had the concussion been more violent. His Royal Highness, fortunately, did not sustain any particular inconvenience. THE GALE OF THURSDAY.—DOVER, SEPT. 18, Six, r.m.—lt has been blowing a hurricane here all day from the S.W., so as to prevent ary vessel from getting over to Boulogne, or even attempting to make the passage ; nor has ail , vessel been able to get to this port from Calais or Ostend, though from the former the North Foreland or the Downs may have bcen reached. A Folkstone steamer lett that place ti is morning, bat there is little chance of her having reached Boulogne, and the probability is that she bore up for Calais. The Magician steamer, wii:ch left Boulogne yesterday, is now here, not having been able to return to that port. The terminus of the South Eastern Railway has had a tremendous battering by the sea to-day, and it is . eared that the foundations have been injured. Cow-ni FISIL—This strangely-formed little tenant of the waters is amphibious, holding a place with the aligator, turtle, and others of the crustaceous kinds. It is capable of travers ing for a long distance over dry sand, by propelling itself forward through the active agency of two pectoral fins, which it moves alter nately. It will also leave the water and ascend trees in the locality of the above element, on which it will bask, and solace itself in the sun for hours together. Sometimes whole shoals of these fish have been observed, during a heavy north-wester, to fall upon the fiat roofs of houses, and in gardens, and this deciduous circumstance may be attributed solely to their being snatched away on the irresistible wings of the tempcst, and dashed upon spots remote from any ap pearance of water.

SAFETY Dooß CHECK TO RAILWAY CARRIAGES. — There have been lately some narrow escapes owing to the doors of railway carriages fly ing open, when leased against, in consequence of defects iu the locks which fasten them. In the carriages on the Hague and Rotterdam Railway, as we have had occasion to witness, this is entirely prevented by very simple means. In addition to the usual lock, each door is provided with a stout bolt or lever working on a join:, 'watch when the door is closed, drops into a socket attached to the door-;acing. This simple apparatus provides an almost certain preventative against accidents from the cause we have mentioned, - and ought, therefore, to be adopted on all railways.—Scottish Rail- • Nay Gazelle. BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN JUNCTION Ren.way.—We are glad to f.,id that Barnet, once the most cele brated posting town around London, and which has suffered so much front raiways, has now a fair prospect of compei sation.

In fact, it is the only chance of saving it from ruin. The line will proceed beyond the • range of the Highgate and Hampstead hills, through a populous dis trict, and out ce the range of the metropolitan omnibuses, and connect - Barnet not only with London and the various railways south of the Thames, but else with the numerous towns and villages that He to the north of London.
