The people of this cruntry had paid twenty millions for the emancipath n of the slaves, but the planters of Jamaica, who had been paid the price, refused to adopt the measures necessary to perfect that great work. True it was that the power of torturing the slave on their own premises had been taken from them, and he was no longer a slave ; but in these prison dungeons they sought, by keeping up the regulations and punishments engendered by slavery, to perpetuate the system ; savage and brutal were the floggings, barbarous and inhuman were the outrages still perpetrated in those prisons. The Legislature of Great Britain had passed the Prisons Bill to put an end to these and to carry out the spirit of the Emancipation Act. The Legislature of Jamaica refused to adopt the Bil) when sent out, and many members of that body being slave-owners, and being representatives also of slave-own ers, there was but small hope of their adopting the Bill —they were determined to go on punishing and &teeing, and torturing their negroes, without inspection antr with out control. A powerful minority abetted theta, and the Government, standing on the sublime principle which they had adopted, immediately wt nt out of office ; (Cheers)—and he had resigned with the greatest plea sure, when he felt that that resignation w as necessary t o vindicate the supr e macy of the British Legislature, and the great cause of humanity.—(Cheers.) It signified but little to him, whether he was in office or not, lu. it did signify, that so long as the cause of the people was to be maintained in the linage of Commons, it should stand on principles worthy of the people on whose behalf they fought.—(Cheers.) Well, Sir Robert Peel, when called on to take the Goverment, could not make up. his mind to contend against the Ladies of the Bedchamber, and the Reform Minister came back.—(Cheers.) But he (Lord. S.) could not make up his mind that the Ladies of the Bedchamber were the real conquerors of the Right Hon. Baronet ; he never could believe that so great a Minister, backed by a powerful party in the State—supported by, as they say, all the wealth, talent, and respectability of the empire—he never could believe that a Minister, with these elements of power, could, when he came into office, retire before two Ladies of the Bed-chamber, who stood in his way. Well, what was the natural conclusion ? Why, that he felt that he could not take office—he felt that he was nut sustained by principle, and that he had no real strength to grapple with the difficulties which lay in his way. He saw Ireland tranquil and happy under good government, and he dared not risk the experiment of governing her by the principles of his party. He Chartism stalking through the land, threatening the. very organization of society and assailing the rights of property with its alarming doctrines. He saw that the liberal governments of Europe would look with coldness on his experiment, and that serious embarrassments might stand in the way in that quarter. In the colonies also he discovered signs of trouble and of difficulty, which were sufficient to shake the faith of his principles. To the want of confidence in which, and not to the Ladies of the Bed-chamber, was to be attributed the cause why the Right lion. Baronet shrunk from the task imposed on him.—(Cheers.) The Reformers ad vanced again, nothing daunted by the defeat which they had before. sustained. They took office and introduced one question of great magnitude—that of national education.—(Great cheering.) The necessity of educa tion had been admitted on all hatids ; but the Church had stepped in with her claims to direct it, and thus excluded many who would not submit to her guidance. But were the people, who paid takes all equally alike, to be precluded from sharing the benefits of education provided out of those taxes, because a Bishop claimed the right to place the catechism and formularies of the Church in the way of each as a barrier ? The catechisms and formularies were better guides for the faith of a man than intolerance and persecution. They had un questionably their merits ; hut they should not be used to prevent education to others.—(Loud cheers.) And what was the call for national education ? The state of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Look at the agricultural. population, one day planting crops and the next burning them—destroying machinery and wasting property. .... No. 14.716. LONDON. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1839. PRICE 5d IVI ANCHESTER an d LEEDS RAILWAY. PUBLICATIONS ~L. H.—Great apprehensions are entertained • respecting the late of a Gentleman's Son, of whose name these are the initial letters. He is about twenty ; in height 'core than six feet; slender ; light brown hair; small eyes, and nose rather aquiline. If alive he must be amongst persons to whom he was unknown till within a month past. Any information will be very gratefully received, and, if an object, a small pecuniary reward will be given.—Address X. Y. Z., at Mr. Fellowes', News-agent, 36, Tottenham court-road, THE CHURCH AND THE portant ; whilst, in truth, h e h as not only newly modi fied the Common Prayer, and nearly abolished the whole of the baptismal office ; but, besides mutilating above sixty of the Psalms, has discarded thirty-four others, and newly-rendered many of the remainder. Of the Psalms which he has discarded, six, at least, are ad mitted to be eminently prophetic of our Saviour, of his incarnation, his sufferings, and his ascension! whilst the reason assigned for the expurgation, is their being " improper for the mouth of a Christian congregation! !" But this is not all, the Rubric and the appointed les sons are in most places altered ; and the Catechism, and the two Creeds (the Nicene and Athanasian) to tally discarded. Of these last-mentioned alterations, it is also particularly to be obserVed, that Mr. Wesley gave to his followers no notice whatever ; whilst the former were represented by him as of a nature alto ' gether unimportant : so that the ignorant among his adherents were led to imagine, that they were not materially departing from the forms of the Establish ment, when, in truth, they were altogether drawn away from the offices of the Church. To complete the whole, Mr. Wesley provided his communion also with a new set of Articles, reducing the number from thirty-n'ne to twenty-five ; and making such changes in those which he retained, as he found most convenient. WESLEYANS DEGRADE THE DIGNITY OF CHRIST. (Quoted from Archbishop Magee.) But not to enter further into particulars, it may be sufficient in this place to notice two instances of omitted Articles, from which the spirit that governed the whole may easily be divined. The eighteenth article, which pronounces that " Eternal salvation is to be obtained only by the name of Christ ;"—and the fifteenth, which asserts, " that Christ alone was without sin," are two of those which the founder of Methodism has declared to be unfit objects of a Christian's belief. Thus it ap pears that the Socinian is not the only sectary that would degrade the dignity of Christ. Such are the people from whom certain weak members of the Esta blishment apprehend no mischief." tion of how this civilisation was brought about by Eng lish Missionaries ; forgetful that it is to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as preached by Christian Protestant Mis sionaries, that the mighty change has been produced in th e northern isle, the French look at the question as one simply of a colonial character, or as one of conquest, and ask " why France also should not have a powerful colony in Oceanic ?" Now, th e answer to this question is threefold. First, it is a mistake o n th e part of the French to imagine that the English have taken possession of the lands of the New Zealanders without paying for them. No such thing. The English have paid the chiefs of the tribes for every inch o f l an d they have obtained ; and, indeed, without the consent of those chiefs no land could be had. The English hav e not conquered the country, but have civilised it ; have set the example of a peaceful and legal possession ; and now propose to take formal possession ; not to spoliate the natives or the chiefs, but to protect and benefit all. The French, on the con trary, propose to " conquer" t h e southern isle—to ob tain by force and cannon-balls what the English have done by civilisation and Christianity. Second.—What would the French say if, 20 years hence, when the French shall have been thirty years in Algiers, the English should, all of a sudden, propose to proceed to some part of Aizeria, and establish a Christian Protestant government? Would they not vote, with acclamation, both men and money to defend, by war if necessary, the whole of Algeria from en croachment ? To be sure they would. It is very true that the English Government has not conquered the New Zealanders by bombs, cannon, and the sword ; but it is not the less true that the New Zealanders have been brought under the influence of the Gospel and true Christian civilisation by means of English mis sionaries and Englishmen. And it would be a little too much now to expect that the English Government would allow even of a Joint Government of French and English in a country which owes every thing to British effort. The French reply to this, that the English there have carried Christianity to New Zealand simply with the view of thereafter taking possession of the islands. This is a libel which is not worthy of a reply ; for all who know what sort of men, and what sort of efforts have been set in movement in the whole of Oceanic are aware, that religious, and not political or worldly motives have alone actuated all parties. Third,.—When the French claim a moiety of New Zealand, upon what principle or on what pretext do they rest such a demand ? They say that the New Zealanders require to be independent, and that England is about to destroy that independence. This is a double error. First, the New Zealanders have no objection to a British suzerainete, and second, England has not the intention of destroying New Zealand independence. But there is one thing that England has the right of doing, and that is, of' providing for the comfort, happiness, and pro tection of those of her sons and daughters who have effected so much good, and who are about to accomplish so much more, by thei r p ac ifi c i n fl uence an d Christian and civilising conduct. But what have the French done? Nothing. They say, indeed, that Baron Thierry has spent some 120,000/. there, and that the French are willing to colonise and spend much more. Well, no one prevents them. They may buy lands of the chiefs of the tribes, and pay for the lands so purchased, and cultivate them, and settle there and colonise. Nothing prevents them. But why should they govern ? The claim is an unjust one, and must be opposed as such.—Evening Paper. TENDERS FOR LOANS.

The article in our last number has created some little excitement, and has been quoted and remarked on in several different newspapers, with a display of their usual ignorance and stupidity, in reference to ecclesiastical subjects. They acknowledged, however, what we are happy to feel they could not deny, that we spoke out with good temper and good feeling ; for sure we are, that we possess nothing otherwise against any religionists of any kind. Even a Radical paper says." Dissenting as we do entirely from the opinions expressed in the article in question, we still admire the candour and fearlessness with which the author avows them." Fear is no article of the Christian creed, nor one of the Christian graces ; and while we hope ever to be void of it in fulfilling our duty, we hope ever to be found candid to all enemies as well as friends ; the true Christian should never be otherwise. And while we are on the subject of fear lessness and candour, let us call attention to a faithful and able sermon preached on the 28th of September last, in the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, and the Cor poration, by the Rev. C. Cator, his Lordship's Chap lain.

Just published, aad sold by all Booksellers, TCITIZEN ; A MONTHLY JOURNAL of POLITICS, LITE RATURE, and ART. QUISITION. Ignatius Loyola founded the order of the Jesuits un der the pretext of " propagating the Gospel," but its real object was the extirpation of the Protestant ; and as that unholy order, when unrestrained by the civil powers of each state, has by turns convulsed every kingdom in Christendom, so is it now labouring to destroy the Church of England. The Puritans of our own country crowned their zeal with regicidal hands, and the consequences of the fatal catastrophe of 1648 proved that "dominion got by hypocrisy and fraud could only be defended by the commission of fresh crimes." He also must be blind who cannot discern the baneful effects of Wesley's and Whitefield's zeal, which, at first separating the flock of Christ from their appointed pastors by calumnies heaped upon them, has, in the subsequent divisions of the Christian body, ex posed its members alike to the crafty policy of the Je suit, the infidelity of the zealous Owen, and the ministry of the lowest of the people, which tend to the disorgani zation of the constitution now in process of development. The admirers of their respective leaders may say, Wesley and Whitefield were men " burning with zeal for the salvation of souls and the promotion of God's glory ;" so say the legends of the Saints Francis, Do minic, and Ignatius of the Romish Church. They may say, " they had a divine talent for preaching ;" so it is recorded of Ignatius Loyola and others, who were before them. Of these, one is even said to have been " heard two leagues off by a woman, whose husband not permitting her to go to his sermon, she got up into a garret ;" and another who " could not lift up his voice, because it was weak, was neverthe less miraculously heard by every one a quarter of a mile off."

On the whole, therefore, we may fairly conclude (with Warburton), that that wisdom which divests Christianity of truth and reason, and resolves its essence rather into mental and spiritual sensations, than tries it by moral demonstration, can never be the wisdom which is from above, whose first characteristic attribute is purity.

Early in November will be published, what every impartial in - dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR- N AL, which it has been determined shall be called H E W 0 R L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " ho had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piseatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he would have been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bxt his style would have been too spark ling and light for us; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Cullech's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put on our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be oondemned as frividous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors sinco the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out f; k city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined es to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man abne loves as honest and clever newspaper. But whore is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way. paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the whole concern ,4 A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester hie sermo." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number •f newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port •na which, at all risks, is determined to announco to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; Tho molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Polities we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We sha always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, flowerer they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be real.zed— .. My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose &Premier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when be resists the Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined gene rally happyrantan increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Consci en ti ous l y b elieving that I re l an d ne ver can become and co n t en t e d until she again has the advantage of a DOA ESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the E OF THE UNIO, as not more beneficial E AL to Ireland than tho Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. "th e even tenor of our way," we shall " run on glittering like a b roo k i n the sunshine, " From grave to gay, from lively to severe." The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will discover that we know a thing or two • the Physician shall proclaim us lovers of th e h ealing art • ' the Sportsman ' shall m learn that we can clear a untry with him. ‘, THE WORLD" to the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court gazette and the ecsutlstuorfistthsehalienrocthhaanyteatnodcoliriapnlain of our degligence ; the plain shal . l . receive l our interests attention ; the United Service will findros,dfast andh o e f old, at tached to the cloth ; we shall " take our A sin rt g is in t g ; robes about us" with the Poet ; visit the alanstudio o and deal our impartial criticism at the Theatre.

Of course this number includes the camp followers, who in an Indian army are nume rous ; but we believe that half that number at least consisted of fighting men. This is exclusive of the a rmy which was advancing from the Punjaub. When our leaders consider this amount of force, the immense distance it traversed in a few months, and the complicated arrangements which must have been necessary in order to bring such a force together, to supply it with provisions during so long a march, and to enable it to keep all the way in such a concentrated state that it met nowhere with any formidable resistance, and had no detach ments cut off, they must, we think, admit that the great success which has crowned this immense operation was fully as much owing to good manage ment as to good fortune. It would, however, be un just and ungrateful to our brave army not to add, that neither good management nor good fortune could have brought success had they not been seconded by the the untiring patience, the unflinch ing perseverance, and the dauntless intrepidity of the officers and soldiers of this gallant army. It is impossible, indeed, to speak too highly of the skill displayed by the General, or the valour of the troops.—Evening Paper. Th _ITERATURE.— ie publishers are beginning to arouse themselves from the more than ordinary state of autumnal lethargy in which they have been immersed for the last month or so. Although we have yet to re cord the actual appearance of but few new works, there is no lack of announcements. Among others we are promised a new novel from the fertile and charming pen of Mrs. Gore, entitled " Preferment ;" and the lovers of theatrical and social gossip will be rejoiced to learn that the obstacles to the publication of the memoirs of the celebrated actress (Duchess of St. Albans) have been at last overcome. Sir Robert Steele, the Deputy Lieutenant of Dorset, is about to give to the world his sketches of service, under the title of " The Marine Officer." We have had plenty of details of absolute naval and military " perils and escapes," but a story told of, and to, " The Marines," is at least a novelty, and must be gladly welcomed by that ga ll ant b o d y. T he Author of " Cavendish" has just produced his new legend of the sea, called " The Flying Dutchman ;" and Miss Burney, the sister of the celebrated Madame D'Arblay, her great " The Romance of has also Private Life," published which i h s e w r e n l l e w w o s r t t o h r y y , reputa tion as a writer in the department of high moral fiction. A new edition of " Viola the Affianced ; or, 'Tis as Old Tale and often Told," is, we are glad to see, al ready in demand. This work is admirably adapted as a literary girt to young unmarried ladies. It would, indeed, be no difficulty to compare, as Bi shipp Lavington has so ably dene, nearly all the ridi culous extravagances and profane rantings of Wesley and his followers, with similar feats performed by their prototypes. the Papists, whose work they arc doing much to forward. We are not at all surprised that a daughter of Mr. Robert Newton, the great Wes leyan preacher, and secretary to the Conference, should have become a Papist. We know of no better preparations for Popery than the Journal of John Wesley, and such works as the Life of Mrs. Fletcher. GROSS FRAUDS OF JOHN WESLEY. This is a precious t a l e a l toge th er , an d j ust o f a p i ece with the ravings and rantings of some of the followers of John Wesley, at the present day ; as for instance, of Edward Brooke, who has lately been playing similar pranks in Northamptonshire, to the disgrace of religion, and the disgust of sober-minded reasonable people, if not to the driving mad of some wrevalied beings whom he had drawn into his net. But John Wesley finishes his tale a little further on, under the date of Saturday, of the same week, thus :—" I was sent for to Kingswood again, to one of those who had been ao ill before [as re lated above.] A violent rain began just as I set out, so that I ,was thoroughly wet in a few minutes. Just at, that time, the woman (then three miles off) cried out, Yonder comes Wesley, galloping as fast as he can." The only astonishment to us is, as it w ill b e to every body else, how any man in his senses cou ld h are t h e audacity to write and publish such gross frauds, as this so evidently is, as are scores of ethers recorded in the same trashy work ! But the fabrication thus proceeds. WESLEY, A MIRACLE MONGER. This is a specimen of John Wesley's miracle-mon Bering, not a wit inferior to the revolting fables o the Popish saints ; but how droll it is that he shouh make the devil a prophet, and what a fool the devi must have been to tell John his secrets, and let hin. know that he was about to torment L—y C—r and S—h J —s, who were then in perfect health. Of course, the fulfilment of the devil's prophecy soon took place, yea even on the following evening, when the two ladies about whom John Wesley and the &sill had talked, went through a similar process to that above related. Dozens of the same kind of horrible tales are related in Wesley's Journal, which we would advise our clerical brethren to purchase, as they really ought to see with what kind of trash the people of this country are fed. WESLEY'S OPERATIONS CHIEFLY ON WOMEN. It is deserving of notice, that most of the persons upon whom Wesley operated were women. It is with women also that like deeds are performed at the present day by his disciples. Let us seriously ask, where a single passage of God's Holy Word is to be found giving the remotest countenance to such horrible doings—doings which have cost many per- sons their lives. How those texts of Scripture force themselves upon our attention which speak of false teachers " creeping into houses and leading captive silly women laden with sins," and of people being deceived by the " working of Satan with all power and signs, and lying wonders." It is appalling to contem• plate the dangerous deceits which are practised upon the poor, ignorant, and weak people, in matters of reli gion, even at the present day, amidst what some deno minate the " full blaze of Gospel light." METHODISM THE RELIGION OF THE PASSIONS, NOT OF THE UNDERSTANDING. (Quoted from Archbishop Magee.) In the philosophising Unitarian all this is natural and consistent ; but, in the Methodist (I speak of the Ar minian Methodist, nr follower of Wesley), it is altoge ther at variance with the doctrines which he professes to maintain. Accuracy of reasoning, however, is not among the distinctive marks of this latter description of religionists. But what is wanting in reason is made up in fancy. And as the great mass of mankind is moved more by the passions than by the understanding, it is not surprising, that a scheme of religion, which addresses itself almost exclusively to the former, should have been extensively embraced ; and that fanaticism and ignorance have, in consequence, combined with alarm ing effect in spreading far and wide through these coun tries the mischievous extravagances of this sect. AIETHODISISI OPENLY AND AVOWEDLY HOSTILE TO THE CHURCH. (Quoted from Archbishop Magee.) It is much to be lamented that any of the friends of true religion have given countenance to such a perversion of its soundest principles, and it is matter equally of wonder and concern that a system which, no longer covertly, but openly and avowedly, works in continued hostility to the established religion, has not met with more effectual resistance from those who may be supposed to take an interest in the well-being of the est a bli s h men t. On the contrary, examp l es are not wanting of cas es, in which the clergy h ave b een set ' who op en ly aside in the wo r k of religious instruction ; whil s t men w h o reject upho tldie tiheLNiVtuersgleyyaanndcbAimrteircalesof(pseeerfeNctoitoe 2), and n DOCTRINAL P OINTS A op poseCHARAC- TERISTIC the doctrines of the Established Church, h ave b een deemed fit objects of preference to the recog n i se d reli ous INDIFFERENCE teachers t ß he u TERISTIC OF METHODISM , A ND AN EXPEDIENT FOR SWELLING ITS RANKS. A land. (Quoted from Archbishop Magee. This, it m us t b e a dmitted, is an exc e ll ent ) expedient for addi ng to t h e num b er s of the sect. A perfect in • difference about doctrines, and a strong persuasion that the divine favour is secured, whilst the fancy of each individual is counted to him for faith,—are such recom mendations of any form of religion, as can scarcely be resisted. But what can be more mischievous than all this? What more destructive of true religion ? The sound principles of Christian doctrine disparaged, as of no value to the believer : and the serious feelings of Christian piety caricatured, and thereby brought into general disrepute : while the sober and regulated teach ing of the national clergy is treated with contumely and contempt ; and separation from the National Church deemed a decisive criterion of godly sincerity !

THE NEW ZEALAND QUESTION. TOTNES REFORsi iriEETING. TOTNES, FILIDAY.—The members of the Totnes Reform Association assembled yesterday evening in the Mayoralty Rooms.

After the health of "the Qeecn," "the Duchess of Kent," " the Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Royal Family, resident in England," had been proposed and responded to, The CHAIRMAN gave the health of Lord Seymour. The toast was drunk amidst the most enthusiastic ap plause. Lord SEYMOUR returned thanks. In doing so, he said, on former occasions he had frequently the pleasure of returning thanks, but never oci any occasion was he ever so glad to meet the Reformers of Tot nes, and to see the room so filled with those who were ready to fight the good cause which they had so frequently fou g ht t oge th er .—(C neers .) He was the more rejoiced to be among them on the present oc casion, because from the great number of misrepresen tations which had gone abroad, he found it high time to meet them and put an end to suspicion and inwendo and false assertion.

The Noble Lord proceded with much force and eloqunce to enlarge upon the ne cessity of general education. He dwelt on the conduct of the clergy in opposing it ,and hinted that they were open to the suspicion of acting with motives not altoge ther worthy of their sacred character. The peop.e would, however, have it ; and he was happy to see tlrat their own Bishop had been convinced of the truth of the fact. There was one of the signs of the times preg neat with interest and worthy of remark. He had gone the other day with the greatest pleasure to a meeting at. Exeter, where he saw Lord Ebrington—(Great cheer ing)—whom he had always respected nod venerated— receiving a most honourable tribute of approbation, en nobling him who received and those who gave it.— (Cheers.)

It was like what they read of in ancient history of two hostile armies meeting, and in the moment of battle laying aside the arms of death, while they walked tide by side, and hand i❑ hand, to worship and do homage in the temple of their common deity.—(Cheers.) So they had seen the two armies pause, and come together to pay a just homage to the great cause of justice and humanity, and sound policy, which had been pursued by Lord Ebrington in Ireland.—(Great cheering.) Should they be told the Government had done nothing when it had sent a man like Lord Ebring ton, who had secured the affections of a great portion of the Roman Catholic community in Ircland—(Hca:, hear)—and disarmed opposition to that policy in Eng land.----( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord next proceeded to address the company on the subject of the ap proaching municipal contest, which had some connec tion with the political contest. It would not do, he said, to 6c beaten in one field, for if they were they would have to fight at a disadvantage on the other. After adverting to one or two other topics, which we regret our space will not permit us to lay before our readers, the Noble Sord resumed his seat amidst loud and long-continued cheers. Several other toasts, but merely of local interest, were subsequently proposed and responded to, and the meeting separated. THE FIRE IN PIMLICO. CORONER'S INQUEST ON MRS. HARDING Yesterday an inquest was held at the Prince's Head Princes -street, Westminster, before Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on the body of Elizabeth Steinkopff alias Harding, who expired on Saturday morning, at the Westminster Hospital, in consequence of the injuries she had received at the fire. The de ceased was the wife of Arthur Steinkopff alias Harding, the fire-work manufacturer. The following is the additional evidence adduced on the inquest : Mr. Charles Archer, house surgeon to the Middle sex Hospital, deposed that the deceased was brought into the Hospital on Friday evening last, about eight o'clock. She expired about 12 the same night, in conse quence of extensive burns covering the greater part of the body Ind limbs ; she was sensible during the greatest part (lithe time ; she bad a difficulty in speaking., but she could speak. Witness did not converse with her as to the cause of the occident. Deborah Jenkins, the little girl, whise mother was one of the sufferers on this melancholy occasion, stated, in addition to the evidence that she had given on Satur day, that Arthur Steinkopff, nt the time of the explosion, was not in the parlour with the others, but in the cellar . below. Eliz tbeth Glover, nurse of the ward in which deceased was placed, deposed, that all that deceased said was th at her name was Harding, and that she wished to see he r husband.

There is one person, named William Odell, missing still, who was in the parlour when the explosion took place, and who is most probably still in the ruins.
