The Naar—Dfidor William Amsinck. portent purpose of Qom:keeling firerjea/1 " nt a Direst Main-Trunk Railway, for the kn. the north of England. andßeettand, ro k and L/neoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, after mature Investigation and conviction of the public advantages such a line et esenniunlcation. The line will comme nce n ea r Klngts..erose, in the New.road, the Meat central situation In the metropolis, both as regards the West. end and the City I it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, Newts, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by Stamfbrd, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west of Sleeford, and *twit of Newark, to Lincoln. and thence by Gainsborough, Thorne. Sualth, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between London and York will be 160 miles. wilt be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line, t will reduce by 59 miles the present distance between London and York, and will consequently by the some distance bring New. trestle and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance saved between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. it will thrm the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halithx, -Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus eenunanding the traMo of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, as well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln. shire, and the other agricultural districts through which it passes. Taking its course through a highly productive country, it em braces all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin colnshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. It opens an easy communication between Norfolk and Bunblk, and the West and North of England. The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the drainage of the fen country, whilst it embrace( the most important markets and towns of that district. The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great Magnitude on the line. The gunge will be the same as the exist ing lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the line wilt be an integral trunk line Ruder one management. The expense of construction being nioderate,and the distance so much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are prepared as evidence for Parliament The capital proposed to be. raised, namely, 4,000,0001., Is a sum exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with many ether trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to ban an opinion on inch matters, and finally the:prospectrs, accorn. Panted by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1044. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at Xing's-cross. At this date there was not betbre the publlo any other project far a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more ban a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the Prospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an Indirect line by Cambridge to York) changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Con. pony, and their stated capital, which previously had varied. from 9,390,•()01. to 1,000,0001., was then, for the first time, named at 4,1)011,000t. In their new prospectus the London and York Cote. Pany also adopted King's-cress for their London terminus. Of the eon se entertained of these encroachments by the pro. ) R° of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and Linden , cti PallY were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem. of their Committee oa the 18th of Nay last, and signed by the Secretary, Myer Amelnck. A asap of the London and York Railway wee, however, pub. lshod ie the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of the promoters of the Direst Northern Line, showed an attempt to appropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line of the Di rect Northern Railway. Steil the very far s h ort of a direct Proiect if the Lond o n an d Y or k Railway Company falls line from London to the north, as will be Heft from the following data:— ?Vine London to York the distance by the present lines of rail way is 210 milee ; by the proposed London and York line, stated is be too miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway. 180 During tile progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion of the landowners. en the line have been communicated with, and consulted In_reference to it, and the full concurrence of that lin. portant interest ta, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on. Publie attention having been lately drawn to the atmospheric principle, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con dition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be shows Who for the benefit of the undertaking. The sections et the country through which the line peaces from Landow to York can he seen at the offices of the Company, 84, Meorgate.street. Every explanation, also, will be aftbrded with regard to the truffle and other matters. The Parliamentary plan., &c., are in course of preparation, and applieetion will he made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing genic.' of Parliament. The deposit of fi pee cent., or 21. 10s. pee share, is necessary to meet the requirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the preliminary expenses will in no event exceed 10s, per share. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum will be allowed on all ealle Nude after the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. The subeeribere agreement and Parliamentary contract will be euady for signature on the payment of the deposit. A large proportion of the shares having been already applied ffir, no application for shares can be received after the Bth of October next, up to which period they may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Ofleel of the Cornpasy, 84, Moorgate.street, London, where prospectuses and plane may be obtained ; or to Messrs.

CCOMMERCIAL and GENERAL LIFE ASSI7nANCE ANNUITY, FAMILY ENDOWMENT and LOAN ASSOCIATION. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL. REDUCTION OF TOLLS. _ _ F.IIPLOYAIENT.—Persons having a little time 4 to spare are apprised that Agents continuo to be appointed in London, and country towns, by the EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY, or the sale of their celebrated teas. Offices, No. 9, Great St. Helen's-churchyard, Eishepsgate-street. They are packed in shoWy leaden canisters, from one ounce to a pound, with the price and weight marked on each packet, and but ittio trouble is occasioned - by the sale. The license is only l le. per annum, and many during the last nineteen years hays realised con siderable incomes by the agency without one shilling lot or loss. Application to be made (if by letter post-paid) as aboTe. might interfere with the Church's doctrine, seeing it was contained in her Thirty-nine Articles. But ne vertheless it was true ; for though he might have no right to alter them, yet if the meaning of any one of them be disputed, he might put his own interpreta tion on it, and act accordingly. The Reverend Preacher then supposed a case w h ere th e Bi s h o p s might come (as they had in respect of Mr. Whis ton's book) to a clear decision that a minister had committed heresy, and yet the Crown could pre vent them from removing him ; and thus vir tually decide that the heresy in question was not in consistent with the Church doctrine. The preacher then showed the position of the Church with respect to discipline. To say that she had none would be incorrect; to say that she had just as much as the State allowed her would be wide of the mark. Even when convocations were used, she had but this show of liberty. The clergy met, and the Bishops con sulted, but, when they came to an act of needful dis cipline, they might find their hands effectually tied. But, now, even the shadow of freedom had departed, the convocation met no longer. The Church, like Esther of old, waited without, knowing that it is death to enter the Royal presence unbidden. She has not been called into the Royal presence these 127 years. Alas, for the freedom of the Church ! she is impotent ! and as for discipline, the insulting law tells her that she must not exercise it for herself, but receive the whole from the State. You that eat State bread ',shall and must be governed by State rule—the bread I give you is mine ; and I will see to it that none is deprived thereof, except upon such conditions as I impose ! Such was the language of the civil magistrate, the Church itself tamely , bows to it, and meekly suffers the usurpa tion of Cresar in things which are Gods The Church might see her doctrines denied, her precepts despised—she might number among her incumbents characters the most profligate and aban doned, but having received the civil magistrate as her head upon earth, the removal of such plague spots became mostly difficult, often impossible. Be hold next the miserable bondage of the Church's ministers, in respect to the Book of Common Prayer Not one word had the Church or any minister a right to alter of this book, and as excommunication in most cases was impossible, all that died within the limits of the parish, with a few exceptions, must have the service of the Church performed over them. The minister had frequently to declare with his lips what in his heart he disbelieved—the beautiful service, fitted only for those who die in the Lord, was prosti tuted day by day, to the ungodly and profane. The Rev. Preacher pointed out the dilemma in which a clergyman was placed, in consigning to Heaven one whom the language of Scripture would assign to a very different destination—or he must pacify his con science by leaving out a portion of the service, for doing which neither the State nor the Church gave him authority. They placed him where he was to perform the work for which they paid him; he *as bound to fulfil his task, and must look to a fresh Act of Parliament for relief to his conscience. The clergy of this diocese knew that.this was no imaginary as sumption. Let them refuse to thank God, according to the prescribed form, for taking the soul of the de parted drunkard—let them fail to express a hope of his blessed resurrection—and they would soon find a power which abated nothing of its demands, and a party which insisted upon the fulfilment of the bond ; and the most lenient treatment they could expect would be fourteen days' suspension, and publication of their offence before the whole congregation 1 As the Church was in bondage to the State, so the Church's inferior offices were in bondage to the supe rior. The State having tied up the right hands of the Bishops to prevent any outbreak against itself, left the ends of the cord in the hand of the Prelate, that he might use it as a lash for the backs of the inferior clergy, a bond for the complete sub jection of the incumbents, and a halter for the necks of the curates. Of all the people in the kingdom, the curates were contented with the least liberty. Whether in deacon's or priest's orders, young or old, it made no difference ; he could not be exempt from the arbitrary will of his superior. The incumbent might escape from the Bishop's indignation with a mere scolding : but the curate, sold es he was into the hands of the Bishop, was liable to be dispossessed in a moment of his means of subsistence; his license might be removed at the sovereign pleasure of some cruel lord—either with or without reason ; and straightway he might find his mouth stopped, and his occupation gone. The same bondage was manifested in raising the ecclesiastic to the Episcopal Bench. There was a time when the Presbyters of the Church had a large share in the election of Bishops. The testimony of antiquity proved that the appointment to that office required the sanction of the people in confirmation. But how stood the matter now ? Were the people consulted in the appointment of Bishops ? Were the Presbyters consulted ? Oh, no ! It was by no means necessary, according to the State Church doctrine, though that Church declared that the Bishops were an order entirely distinct from that of Presbyters, the highest of all orders ; and though it was obvious, that being so, they were set up either for the greatest good or the greatest mischief in the Church, yet so little had the Church been careful of her liberty in this most important of her concerns, that she allowed the head of the Church to take up any one of her Presby ters and of him to make a Bishop. Though the ac tual ceremony of ordination was done by the laying on of the hands of the other Bishops, yet the actual creation was the work of the Monarch; and no one could be chosen to be a Bishop by any other power in the realm ; and if any portion of the Established Church were to set about it for themselves, they would incur most rigorous penalties for their presumption. It was confessed also, that when the eonge d'elire had been granted, if the parties to whom it was issued re fused to appoint the person named by the Sovereign, the person so refusing would incur the consequences of a pramunire; so that the leave to elect, which sounded as if there were liberty in the matter, amounted to the liberty of electing whom the Sove reign bade them to elect, and also of suffer ing the loss of goods and chattels, and en during what other hardships he knew not, if they refused to obey the mandate of the Crown, so that throughout the Established Church, from the lowest of her people to the highest order of her officers, their reigned one continuous system of bond age, which ss ould make them, if they quoted his text, read it by the rule of contrary—we are not the children of the freewoman, but of the bond. The Bishop must say, I was made by the State and am in bondage to it. The Presbyter must say, I am in bondage to the Bishop, and the Prayer-Book ; and each of the people must say, I too am in bondage, for I have no liberty to vote on the appointmeut of a minister, nor have I liberty to reject one sent by the higher powers. I am as a nonentity despised, and deprived of my Christian riihts. The Reverend Preacher then referred to the evidence that this bond age was felt by the ministers of all parties—by the evangelical minister, who scrupled to prostitute Christian services over the grave of the ungodly; and by the Tractarian clergy, who desired to set the Church above the State, and rule it according to the laws of antichrist. It was felt also by the despotic Prelate, who, though content for his own convenience, to act under the State, yet fretted under a restraint which prevented him from annihilating those who offended him. The leader of the Tractarians complained that he and his brethren were as so many galley slaves, condemned to work in chains; and the Bishop of Exeter, in the same charge which rebuked him for using the comparison, declared that they were as much without the means of synodical action, as a maniac in a straight waistcoat was deprived of freedom of action. The Bishop re buked his brother for a fault which he himself com mitted almost in the same breath. But these compa risons were exceedingly unhappy. Galley slaves were fettered on account of their former misdeeds, and ma niacs were bound down and restrained to prevent the outbreak of their insane ferocity. What the galley slaves did before they were chained, history would tell—they robbed and plundered on the King's high way. What the maniacs had done when their arms were unrestrained by the straight waistcoat, of which they now complained, would be learned from the his tory of the Non-Conformists, from the reign of Eliza beth down to 1688. Years upon years of tyranny, oppression, imprisonments, confiscations, and execu tions, had taught the State at length, that the rule of churchmen was maniacal, and that the only remedy was the straight waistcoat and confinement. Having shown the Church of England to be in a state of bondage, the Rev. Preacher next asked what was to be done in such a case ? The words connected with the text furnished a reply—" Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and . be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage." This point he argued with much eloquence. Taking the case of a Presbyter of the Church, this latter might say that, at his ordination, he laid himself under vows f ro m which he could not possibly recede, for God had said, " It is better that thou shouldest not vow, than , that thou shouldest vow and not pay." This certainly held good in the case of a lawful vow but suppose OFFICES, 119 and 113, CHEAPSIDE, LONDON. 11. G. WARD, Erg., M.P., Chairman. LIVES ASSURED on every known system.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy Mr 1,0001. effected on the let of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, if effected on er before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 360,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,000/., the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity.

(From the Western Times.) The Episcopal Free Church, of which so much has been said of late, was opened on Friday morning by the Rev. H. B. Bulteel. The church met in the great room built by our enterprising neighbour, Mr. Ni cholas Tuckett, for public purposes. It is one of the most elegant balls in the West of England, not equal to the great Subscription-room in extent, but cer tainly not behind it in elegance of decoration and proportion. Mr. Tuckett, we believe, was himself the architect; he spared no expense in decorating it ; and its general appearance is no mean compliment to his taste and ability. A gallery has been erected at one end, which rather mars the effect of a beautiful stained glass window; and an excellent organ, sup plied by Mr. Vinnioombe, occupies the centre of the gallery. The chapel was filled long before the hour of ser vice in the morning; in the evening, the congregation was even still more numerous. The service was conducted with much order and decorum. Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Shore, of Bridgetown, who well understands how to read the beautiful liturgy of the Church of England. Jackson's Te Deum was chanted by a small but efficient choir ; and the congregation joined in that beautiful service with great taste. The Rev. 11. Bulteel, who preached the opening sermon, is a gentleman well known to this county, being first cousin to the lamented .John Croker Bulteel, Esq., M.P. for South Devon. Mr. Bulteel seceded from the Church on grounds which will be set forth in our outline of his sermon, about 15 or 16 years since, on which occasion we heard him preach in this city, in the open air, his secession making at the time a great sensation in the county. Since then he has con tinued steadfast in his views ; and he now appeared in Exeter to show, not only that he has not seceded from the ground which he then took, hut that the principles on which he left tbcCiairch have boon steadily progressing. He is a fine-looking; powerful man, about five feet ten inches in height, with a frame which seems cal culated for any act of physical endurance which man may be called on to undergo. We are not aware that this fact is very essential to be noted in connexion with an opening sermon ; but we mention it in con sequence of an article which appeared in Bentley's Miscellany,' setting forth how the Rev. Gentleman, since he has given himself up to the more diligent pro pagation of evangelical doctrines, had withered and pined away in the flesh, and become almost a spec tacle to excite commiseration, instead of remaining a man, as he was in form and substance, when the writer of the paper first remembered him at college. We believe the paper was entitled " Recollections of Eton," it appeared in the number for August. The writer having described the stalwart form of Mr. Bulteel, and his muscular strength and personal ac tivity, attributes the decline of his physical powers to his adoption of a more rigid walk and conversation in accordance with the convictions of evangelical truth. We admit that whatever a man's convictions may be, twenty years take a great deal of elasticity out of his frame, and reduce his bodily activity; but Mr. Bul teel bears evidence; by his clean-built frame, the healthy hue of his cheek, the brightness of his eye, and the health-bearing tone of his whole exterior, that neither the abstractions of study, nor the quiet habits of his calling, have had any visible effect upon his physique. Y o u w ill se ld om s ee more unequivocal evidence of health, cdm vigour, and temperance, in the visage and bearing of a man. His text was from Galatians 4, chap. iv., verse 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free." He commenced in a low tone and rather hurried manner ; but as he proceeded with his subject he warmed upon it, and became excited and animated, although fettered by a written composition, and re strained by the necessity of reading it. He said they had sent for him on the present occa sion, to open a place of worship for the use of such persons as saw fit, from motives of conscience, to free themselves from the commun i on o f the Church by law established, and as a reason for so important a step might justly be demanded of them, it could not be took . the present opportunity of deemed amiss if they stating at least one momentous objection to a longer continuance within her pale—the complete state of bondage to which her members, and especially her ministers, were reduced, a state so much unlike that of the primitive Church, as to render it impossible that both Churches could derive their constitution from the same original. He would solicit their attention to two great points, which afforded a just and reasonable defence of their conduct. The first was—the Freedom of the Church of Christ ; the second, the Bondage of the Church of England. By the term " Head of the Church," it was implied that the Church allowed the King supremacy in matters ecclesiastical, the Church resigning her independence, and making the magistrate her supreme head, without whose appro bation and allowance she could administer, transact, or decree nothing. No ecclesiastic of the Estab lished Church could exercise his functions without the magistrate's approbation ; no Synod or Church As sembly had a right to sit without his express per mission, or impose their acts as authoritative, till they had received his confirmation ; neither could any member be excommunicated, or expelled, the society, without the consent of the magistrate. To this account of the supremacy given by the Bishop, it might not be amiss.to add that by the 37th article the same power, in matters ecclesiastical, was allowed the Christian princes, as was allowed all godly kings, in Holy Scripture, by God himself; and it is added, that to them the chief government of all estate of this realm, whether ecclesiastical or civil, in all cases, doth appertain. The second canon spoke precisely the same language, pronouncing that " whosoever shall hereafter affirm that the King's Majesty bath not the same authority in causes ecclesiastical that the godly kings had among the Jews, &c., let him be excom municated ipso facto, and not restored but after public revocation of his wicked errors." And, more over, by the Act 26th of Henry VIII., chap. 1, they found that " the King, his heirs and successors, shall be taken and reputed the only Supreme Head on earth of the Church of England, and shall have full power, from time to time, to visit, reform, correct and amend, all errors, heresies, and e no r m ities, whatever they be, which, by: any manner of spiritual authority or jurisdiction, are, or lawfully may be, reformed, ordered, corrected, or amended. So then, according to this doctrine, the independence and liberty of the Church of England was but a name, or a shadow—the Church could do nothing—the King could do every thing—to him belonged the supremacy in all matters whatever; doctrine, discipline, and what not, were all subject to him—from the moment of the alliance no thing could be safe from his touch, except the preach ing of t' e Word and the administration of the Sacra ' ments. It might seem strange to say that the King ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREB PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. the case of an unlawful vow, such as if a Jew should vow to offer a dog or a swine to Jehovah. It was clear there would be more sin in fulfilling than in breaking such a vow, and in the case of the forty con spirators who vowed to kill Paul, neither God nor man could blame them if they took the liberty of releasing themselves from that bond. " Did you (Presbyter) bind yourself to work out a system destructive, not of the lives, but of the liberties of the Church of Christ ? If so, the vow itself involved what was sinful, though you knew it not at the time, and therefore you cannot be bound to the performance of it. But examine the vow itself, you vow to obey all godly admonitions of the Bishop, but do you vow to give up the exercise of your judgment of what is godly and what is un godly ? It was more than probable, that as the mind expanded, and more light was found by the teaching of the spirit, the man might perceive ungodliness to lurk in the very places which, at his vow, he least ex pected it ; when clearly detected, rebellion in such cases was a virtue. He would examine a case in point : a friend of his held a curacy or licensed chapel. In it he remained fur several years acceptable to the people, sound in doctrine, blameless in life. Sud denly he is admonished by the Bishop to cease from the care of that flock—to break the tie of many years —and to tear himself away to make room for a suc cessor, whom the people did not de s ire to ha v e. W as such admonition godly ? The Bishop said yes, because the State gave him power to make it. On the other hand, his friend said it was ungodly; because, said he, if you can bring no New Testament objection against me and my ministry, you can have no New Testament authority to warn me off. The Bishop's monition then is ungodly, seeing that it proceeds from the assumption of a power which the New Testament disallows. Again, the Presbyter might find himself unable to perform his vow. He solemnly promises, at his ordination, to banish and drive away all erro neous and strange doctrine, contrary to God's word. He has, perhaps, learnt to consider strange and erro neous such doctrines as the following :—First, that the Bishops have the power of invariably communi cating the Holy Ghost to every priest whom they ordain. Second, that every priest ordained has such a privilege conferred on him thereby, that whosoever's sins he remits they are remitted, whosoever's sins he retains they are retained. Third, that the act of baptism performed by the priest does convey the blessings of ordination. Fourth, that the chief civil magistrate has such a supremacy over the Church, as to be esteemed the final judge of heresy, the fountain of all discipline, and the creator of all Bishops. However erroneous, these are the doctrines of that very Church to which he has sworn allegiance; so that the same vow binds him to banish and drive away, and also to defend and maintain, the same doc trines. How was it possible that the vow could be performed ? He then entered into a lucid exposition of the Episcopalian principles, for which we regret that we have not space. In England there had al ways been a bias in favour of Episcopacy ; in Scot land, in favour of Presbyterianism. We understood him to say that Episcopacy was a mere matter of order; and for the well ordering of the Church there was no occasion for the Bishops to be seated among the senators and nobles of the land. Bishops created by the Presbyters and voice of the people were as ca pable of discharging their episcopal duties as those who owed their creation to the Crown. The Rev. Gentleman drew a glowing picture of the advance of the Church under such a reformation as he proposed. She would effectually stem the advancing error of Puseyism, which should be more fitly denominated Anglicanism—a system of tyranny and oppression, blood and darkness, error and terror. Where Po pery had destroyed its hundreds in this land, Anglicanism had destroyed its thousands. As cruel every whit as Popery, it showed no more mercy to those who had the misfortune to fall within its grasp. What stopped the mouths of the con scientious of Christ in the reign of Elizabeth P What imprisoned, fined, banished them—even shed their blood ? What raised the flame of civil war in the time of Charles the First? What brought the head of the unfortunate monarch to the block? The ty ranny of the Anglican system was the cause of it all. The principles of the Anglicans of the present day were +l , e c.nmo of their La :Lc a... Th. tecnth century—the same love of forms and ceremo nies—the same regard to the traditions of the elders —the same doctrine of a human priesthood—the same blind obedience to Bishops, whether they com manded according to Scripture or not—the same hatred of the doctrines contained in the Thirty-nine Articles—end the same detestation of the right of private judgment —nor was there any disavowal, since the resurrection of the sect, of a rl,sht to act in all respects as their fathers had done before them, should it please God to give them the same power. With one passage more from this sermon, so re markable for its boldness and eloquence, we must conclude, merely adding that, it will be published. Here is a striking portrait - of a well-known cha racter : The Bishop of Exeter has undeceived the people, and is even now opening the eyes of the nation. We have in him the portrait of a good State Bishop ; many there are who assign to him the very first place on the Bench, and esteem him the Church s pride and ornament. It would indeed be invidious, as well as useless, to deny him the possession of great talents, great knowledge, and great zeal ; the former quality was displayed in his writings against the Roman Catholic Church ; but, perhaps, in ceasing to write against them, a talent of a still higher order was displayed; since it is generally thought that it was to this eloquent silence he owed his elevation to the Episcopal Throne. His zeal has prompted him to run to the .extent of what the law allows him ; and in the performance of his episcopal functions he has the merit of having deprived more clergymen of their licenses, and of having pronounced more ecclesiastical censures, than, perhaps, all the other Bishops together. No man has ever yet Jeen able to accuse him of a culpable negligence in any matter wherein the epis copal will is resisted; none has taxed him with having, from any amiable infirmity, stayed the infliction of punishment from the heads of evangelical transgres sors ; the very Brutus of the Bench, stern in ecclesi astical virtue, he delivers his children to the lictors, and beholds the scene unmoved.

NEW ZEALAND.—(CONTINUED.) " To have proceeded in this manner, and to have assumed at once all unoccupied land to belong to the Crown as a right inherent in the sovereignty, would ,have been attended with no sort of injustice to the natives, and would have been conducive to their real interests. The unoccupied land, previously to Eu ropean settlement, was of no- value to them, they were neither a pastoral people, nor one living, like the North American Indians, by the chase, and therefore requiring a great extent of country for their support; they derived their chief subsistence from the produce of the soil and agriculture, rude as it was, and, according to the witnesses who have been examined by your Committee, hardly a thou sandth part of the available land was thus made use of by them. _ _ "A very different policy, with respect to the ownership of land, has been pursued, and has been attended with very unfortunate results. Mr. Spain, who was sent out from this country by Lord John Russell to investigate the claims of land of settlers in New Zealand, appears to have been furnished with no precise instructions as to the object of the in tended inquiry, and the mode of conducting it; and as he, in common with the Governor and the other colonial authorities, adopted the conclusion that no land could be considered as vested in the Crown, or in the New Zealand Company, by virtue of an agreement with the Crown, which could not be shown to have been fairly purchased from the natives, there was begun a protracted and most unsatisfac tory inquiry as to the nature of these purchases. It was impossible that the inquiry, having this object in view, could be of a different character, since, if the point to be determined was the validity of purchases from the natives, it followed that it was necessary to ascertain not only the bona fide nature of the sup pd sale, but also the title of the vend ors to the he property of which they claimed to dispose. T he d of arriving at any satisfacto r y conclusion upon either point was insurable. The evidence as to the reality of alleged sal es was almost invariably contradictory and confused, a s might reasonably have been anticipated, considering what imperfect means of communication there were between the parties, and how little one of them understood the nature of such transactions. As to the title of the vendors, the case was still more hopeless; the evidence before your Committee, both oral and documentary, leads to the conclusion that the natives of New Zealand, till they learnt to do so from Europeans, attached no idea of value to unoccupied land, and that though they had some vague notions of certain circumstances (frequently connected with their peculiar supersti- tions), giving preferable claims to particular tribes over particular districts, yet, practically, the right by , which ter, itory was held, was that of the strongest. Your Committee need hardly point out the manifest absurdity of attempting to apply the notions of Eng lish law, with respect to landed property, to such a state of society, and the utter fruitlessness of an en deavour to disentangle the complicated and conflict ing claims set up by different tribes to wild land, th s inquiry having to be conducted by Europeans, igno rant both of the language of the natives, and of their barbarous and superstitious customs, on• which the claims to land very frequently depended. " The policy adopted of entering into such an in. quiry, and of acknowledging the claim of the natives to payment for the unoccupied lands, has had effects very injurious to the interests both of the settlers and of the natives themselves. With respect to the settlers, by preventing them for so long a period from obtaining possession by a secure title of the land they required for cultivation, it has given a most serious check to the progress of improvement, and very greatly retarded the arrival of the time when the colony would have been able to procure food' enough for its own consumption, and also something to export in payment for the various supplies it re quires from the mother country and from other quarters. To the natives this policy has -been still more injurious, it has created a strong feeling of irri tation between them and the settlers, from the ex istence of which they cannot fail ultimately to be the chief sufferers ; the large amount of property they have received in payment for land which was of no real use to them before, instead of being of perma nent advantage to them, has been speedily and im providently consumed, and has only served to excite in them the passion of cupidity, and to produce quarrels amongst themselves, which, in one case at least, have broken out into open war. Even Mr. Clarke, the Chief Protector, who has insisted so much upon their obtaining a very high price for their land, has admitted that the 'sudden affluence' to which they have been raised has had 'an unfriendly in fluence on their moral improvement.' The worst con sequence of all, as it appears to your Committee of the course which has been. pursued, is, that it has lowered the authority of the Government over the natives, and given rise, on their part, to claims which it is greatly to be feared they will not peaceably be brought to forego ; and which yet cannot be allowed without the sacrifice of the principal means of pro moting the advancement of the colony. We beg particularly to refer, in support of what we have now stated, to the long report of Mr. Spain, the Com missioner of Land Claims, dated 12th September, 1843, and to the dispatch of the Acting Governor of 30th October, 1843, and its inclosures. On reference to these documents it will- be found that the effects attributed by your Committee to the policy , which has been pursued, are distinctly recognised by those of the public servants in the cvlony by whom that policy has chiefly been maintained. It is also peculiarly deserving of remark, that precisely the same difficul ties in establishing to the satisfaction of the natives the validity of sales of land alleged to have been made by them, which, in the case of the settlements in Cook's Straits, have been attributed to the careless mode of proceeding adopted by the Company's agents, have since been experienced to fully as great an ex tent with respect to purchases made on behalf of the Government in the northern part of the island by the Protector of Aborigines himself. In the letter of Colonel Godfrey (one of the Commissioners of Land Claims) of February 10, 1843, will be found an ac count of the embarrassment created by the positive denial by the natives of the validity of a sale of land which Mr. Clarke reported had been made to him, as agent to the Government, with every possible pre caution, in the year 1840. If these and similar claims are rejected, we cannot but apprehend that, after the concessions already made, much dissatisfaction, if not resistance, is to be anticipated from the natives; on the other hand, if the claims are admitted, we see no security whatever that additional payments now made for land formerly supposed to have been sold will give any permanent satisfaction, and will not, on the con trary, serve as a stimulus to still more unreasonable demands hereafter, while, even if such payments should be final, we cannot but regard it as a great misfortune that large sums of money should be eo applied. In Mr. Spain's report, already quoted, he estimates that from five to six thousand pounds will be required to compensate the natives for the blocks of land already surveyed by the servants of the New Zealand Company, in the southern part of the Northern Island; and in making this estimate it ap pears (though this is not very , clear) that he contem plates leaving them in possession of the grounds they actually occupy. If this land is to be paid for at so high a rate, it is obvious that it will create in the minds of the natives an expectation that similar prices will be given for the land that will hereafter be required, and thus an enormous charge will be en tailed upon the progress of future settlements. While we were considering our report, additional evidence of the magnitude of this evil has been laid before us. "The land, it must be remembered, derives its only value from the application of European labour and capital • it, to .Ine natives mu eventually be taken from the price paid for it by settlers, either to the Company or to the Government, and will be so much deducted from the fund, which ought to be most carefully husbanded and applied to the great purposes of promoting emigration, and of meeting the first and pressing wants of a young settlement, as for instance, the construction of roads and bridges, and the building and endowing of churches, schools, and hospitals. For these purposes, in which the British settlers and the original inhabi tants are equally interested, every shilling wanted which the emigrant can afford to pay for land, without trenching too deeply on his available capital ; and it appears to your Committee to be equally con trary, both to real justice and to sound policy, that large sums of money should be - taken from a fund de voted to objects of such high importance, in order to be given to barbarous tribes, 'who at best will unpro fitably squander what is so improvidently placed at their disposal. " Your Committee have found it necessary to enter more at length than we could have wished into the question, whether the ownership of unoccupied land ought to have been considered as vested in the Crown or in the native tribes, because, in our opinion, all the difficulties which have been experienced in the colo nisation of New Zealand are mainly to be attributed to the erroneous view of this question, which has been taken by those to whose hands the powers of Govern ment have in these islands been committed. But erroneous as they believe the policy hitherto pursued to have been, they are sensible of the great difficulty which may now be experienced in changing it; and bearing in mind the great distance of these islands, and the consequent impossibility of knowing what may be the state of affairs there, when any instruc tions that may be sent out shall reach the Governor, they are not prepared to recommend that he should be peremptorily ordered to assert the rights of the Crown as they believe them to exist ; all they advise is, that he should have clearly explained to him what those rights are, and the principles on which they rest; and should be directed to adopt such measures as he may consider best calculated to meet the diffi culties of the case, and to establish the title of the Crown to all unoccupied land as soon as this can be safely accomplished. lie ought also, we conceive, to be directed to grant legal titles to the actual oc cupants of land, unless under special circumstances of abuse, requiring in those cases in which it may seem to be proper reasonable payment from the settlers for land so granted to them. "The observations already made will enable your Committee very briefly to express their opinion on the question which has led to so much discussion, as to whether the New Zealand Company are entitled to call upon her Majesty's Government to put them in possession of a large extent of land, without refe rence to the validity of their supposed purchases from the natives. If the view which we have taken of the right of the Crown to the whole of the unoc- , cupied soil of New Zealand, and of the nullity of all private purchases of land from the natives, be a cor rect one ; and if this were also the view of the then Secretary of State at the time that the arrangement with the New Zealand Company was concluded; it follows, as a matter of course, that by that arrange ment it must have been intended to give to the Com pany a claim binding, in good faith, upon the estate of the Crown, to the number of acres awarded to f th not in any way be affected by the charactero it was them by Mr. Pennington ; and that this claim c ould ose supposed purchases from the natives, whi ch fra _gement to set w n e have already fully stated our reasons for a th si e de v the l conclusion to which e e r altogether nbiect of null th a e nd wh in valid. to the rig hts of the we have come with res t pec Crown; we have, there o r e , only to add, that we o _ e cann ot doubt this conclusion to b completely in ac cordance with what were the views of the then Secre f State, since we find that the charter under tart' o he Great Seal, by which . New Zealand was erected into a separate colony, rind the original instructions under the Royal Sign Manual, which were drawn u at nearly the same time that the arrangement with the Company was under discussion, were couched in terms which, as we have already observed, clearly imply that the ownership of land by the natives was regarded as being confined to that which was ac tually occupied and enjoyed by them,' and that all unoccupied land was vested in the Crown ; while the acknowledgment of any claim of right on the part of Europeans to land, in virtue of supposed sales from the natives, was in the most explicit terms denied." (TO BE CONTINUED.) A deplorable rnf--' ieplorable catastrophe occurred a few days ago at Saint Tropez, in the Var. A servant girl who had been sent by her mistr ess to m a ke some purchases at provision-warehouse, was standing in the shop on a plank which covered an opening into the cellar, when the plank broke, and she fell into a vat in which was a quantity of crushed grapes in a state of fermentation. A young man who was crushing grapes near the spot en deavoured to extricate the poor girl, but was himself overpowered by the gas from the vat, and both perished. . -.L
