THE SUN, LO 31. ANCLIESTER, BUXTON, MATLOCK, and MIDLANDS JUNCTION RAILWAY. Company's Offices, George-street, Manchester, August 28, 184.5. The Committee of Management have the satisfact on of informing their Shareholders that, under the advice and motive direction of Mr. George Stephenson, the survey of their intended Railway is proceed ing most satisfactorily, and that the line, as determined upon, will be, with reference to the country traversed, very favourable in its engi neering features, and of a character to satisfy the wishes and con ciliate the support of the landed proprietary. It is intended that the main line shall commence at Stockport, thus increasing the length of the road to be constructed, but diminishing materially the distalme between Manchester and Derby, and improving the general charac ter of the workt. The Committee have also directed their attention to the best means of giving complete development by branch lines to the rich mineral resources of Derbyshire, and of connecting them more completely with the contiguous manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire. One of the extensions already determined upon, and having this object in view, will be through the important localities of New Mills, Hayfield, Mottram, and Marple, to Hyde and Dukenfleld ; thus accommo datin g the populous districts era- Tersed by the Manchester and Huddersfield and the Manchester and Sheffield Railways. The pecuniary arrangements by which these objects will be effected are under the consideration of the CommAGGEittee, and will be announced without delay. F. A. WR, Secretary.

This is the consum mation so devoutly prayed for by these renegade Churchmen. They would assume all power and all authority to themselves, they would in time become even a more frightful race of priests than the sangui nary and despotic Druids, and sanction every cruelty and every crime that could possibly exalt them above their fellow-creatures. Were opinions of this cast put forth by the Puseyites as simple individuals, and in the shape of theories to which they wished to attract "public attention, we should regard them as vagaries like those practised by JOANNA SOUTHeff, or the founder of the " unknown tongues;" but when we find these reli gionists making use of their sacred functions, wielding the power given to thorn by their position in the Church, and traitorously combining against Protestantism, which they had sworn to maintain and defend, we can find no language sufficiently strong to describe such want of honour, such breach of sacred oaths, find such a total disregard of those ties which bind together civilised society. These men remained in the Church solely to undermine it, and now begin to drop off when the law and public opinion have affixed a condign stigma on their Jesuitical plots. The following sentence from Mr. WARD'S book fully bears out the charge that his object was to make use of his position in destroying Protestantism, and in bringing back the dis ciples of the Reformation to the doctrines and communion of Rome :—" The progress from error to truth can not be made in one leap : persons cannot, on the mere word of an external authority, em brace at once a whole class of new doctrines, fo reign, and at first even repugnant, to their moral nature. The doctrines, again, to which I allude, are but accessories to the central verities of the Gospel—not those verities themselves ; and will follow in due time, in proportion as those verities are rightly believed, hear tily embraced, and fed on by prayer and contemplation. The English Church then at present, witnessing as it does those truths in its formularies, but silent, to say the least, on these accessories, does seem a providential ordinance adapted to prepare minds by degrees fur the doctrine and communion of Rome." Let us be thankful therefore that the plot has been discovered (we hope in time), and that the voice of the country, which has already done so much, will compel the rest of the class to follow Mr. WARD, and join those whose tenets they profess. Mr. WARD has retired, it is true, but, in doing so, he has only shown more clearly the dangerous principles by which he was actuated. He remained in the English Church, according to his own showing, because, Le says, there is nothing in that Church to hinder any one from holding all Roman doctrine, and because all those who being in doubt of her claims, and resolving on living a stricter life in her com munion (meaning thereby Romanism) had found an ever-increasing confidence in their position. These circumstances, he adds, have ceased to exist. In short, he cannot enjoy the emoluments of Protestantism, and, at the same time, profess Popery, so he makes a virtue of necessity, and walks out, that he may not be forcibly expelled. The report of the Commissioners on Tidal Harbours, the concluding passages of which we published in our edition of Monday, will be hailed, we are confident, by all our readers, as one of the most valuable anal im portant results of the labours of the last session of Par liament. We can imagine no subjects better entitled to the most careful investigation of a well-composed Com mission than the present condition of these harbours ; the nature and extent of works, in progress or com pleted, for the removal of obstructions, the deepening of their channels, the security of their entrances, and their general maintenance. With regard to the harbours, as well as to so many other of her natural resources and geographical capa cities, it may be said that the progress of this country in strengthening her position and defences, has hitherto been, not on account of their development, but in despite of them. No kingdom ever made such vast and rapid advances in all power, devoting at the same time so little, comparatively speaking, of the same energy and the same wealth to the consolidation of the advantages which the outline of her coasts affords to her. It may be that this neglect is attributable to a generous confidence on the part of the people and of their rulers in the national spirit and intrepidity ; in that love of country and that irrepressible maritime enterprise, which never find us content to awe t the attack of an insulting enemy within our own boundaries, but make us always eager to be first a-field, by sea or by land, and urging on offensive operations. This plea may be available, perhaps, to excuse the neglect of simply defensive positions. But it cannot satisfy the complaints of humanity. Our utter deficiency of harbours of refuge throughout the long period of five hundred years, for which our commerce has been gradually expanding itself fromits incipient trade in the wool staple to its present enormous dimen sions, is a moral and social, as well as a political anomaly, for which it would be as difficult to as sign any valid excuse as it would be to devise any adequate explanation. The simple ground of expense on which Sir R. PEEL and Mr. GOULBtJBN have hereto fore attempted to justify their disregard of the earnest re commendations of the Committee on Harbours of Refuge, before which the Duke of WELLINGTON himself—as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports—had made out, in his evidence, a case of such urgent and imperative ne cessity for the immediate construction of these works at different points upon our shores—that ground of "expense" on which it is so convenient for First Lords of the Treasury and Chancellors of the Exchequer to fall back when they are reluei ant to comply with the wishes of Parliament, and which they find it so convenient to forget or lose sight of when they have some favourite objects of their owe to carry—this ground cannot be sustained. A country whose annual expenditure is up wards of 50,000,0001. per annum, whereof a considerable proportion is absorbed by civil establishments, paid on the most extravagant scale, and civil pensions and pen sions allotted by the Crown (but paid by the public), for mere personal services or considerations of personal favouritism; such a country cannot be truly said to be un able with safety to incur one charge of four or five or even six millions for the construction of permanent harbours of refuge for our swarming merchant vessels running down our dangerous coasts, or the fortifying new psts, or repairing old works already established, for the better protection of our trade and our stores, our coast towns, dockyards, creeks, mouths of rivers, &c. If the Premier can bring himself to persist, year after year, in a period of peace, to levy the most odious of peace taxes, though it may be the most justifiable of our imposts ; if the Chancellor of the Exchequer insist on maintain ing this oppressive property-tax, in order that he may chuckle over his " surplus revenue " of 3,000,0001. (ex isting only in virtue of the 5,000,0001. and more realised by_this single tax), shall we bo told that Dungeness and Seaford can not be made harbours, nor the ports of Hythe and Rye be restored, nor Harwich improved, nor Dover deepened, nor less promising positions on the west coast of England, as well as on the south and east, be improved into available " refuges" for our tempest-tossed merchant men and our gallant navy ? With the welfare of both of these services, the main interests, the lasting prosperity of this mighty empire are intimately and indissolubly bound up. How long then, are exigences of finance (fictitious exigencies after all, and not necessarily attaching to a more economised or better digested system than that upon which our finances are administered) Lobe thus per mitted to outweigh the sacred claims with regard to the security of human life, and of the great arm of our na tional force, the navy? But we trust that the good Benin of Parliament will vindicate the force of those claims by an expression of opinions so complete, as regards both this view of the case and the demands of a torecastiug and intelligent regard to the aspect of our foreign rela tions, as shall compel the adoption by Government of the views it has solemnly recorded in the report in question. In connexion with these and a powerful auxiliary in giving to them all the effect which they ought to have, will now be taken the report on tidal harbours. The Commissioners are men well entitled to the confidence of the Legislature and the country by scientific acquire ments or professional experience ; as official functiona ries, or as practical men of business, and Members of Par liament. Rear-Admiral BOWLES, M.P., is the Chairman. The other Commissioners are Captains GORDON BREMER and J. WASHINGTON, R.N., Mr. BEAUFORT, hydrogra pher, Professor AIRY, the astrore.mer royal. Messrs. JOSEPH IIiTME, M.P., AARON CHAPMAN, M.P., ED WARD RICE, M.P.,TUOIVIAS BARING, M.P., and RICHARD GODSON, M.P. They do not adopt any halting, compro mising tone in setting out their recommendations ; and we rejoice to see that there is no mock delicacy, no "nolo Episcopori" fencing with the high and re sponsible functions which they have been willing to take upon themselves. They recommend that " their Board should have summary jurisdiction over the waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers with a reservation, only, of private rights under charter, and the continuation of local boards where this Com mission may think fit. That this Commission have full powers, by the assistance of engineers and surveyors, to ascertain the extent of all nuisances and obstructions in such tidal harbours and rivers, and to summons juror.; of the neighbourhood to inquire into and report upon the same, to be thereupon dealt with by the Commis sioners, where such nuisance, &c., shall be found to have exited for a period of . • yc.trs. That the Board Uivide ait he coasts of the kil:gdow into a cer tain number of se c ti ons , eac h of these being placed under the supe r i n t en d ence o f com petent person, who shall visit, at least once a year, every port, river, har bour, and creek within his disti ict, and report the state of the same, and the progress of any works carrying on there; and that the Board may enforce the appointment of a resident engineer or harbour-master wherever the port, harbour, &c., may seem of sufficient importance to call for such appointment. That the accounts of all trusts of harbours or navigable rivers be prepared and sent into this Board, made_ up to the 31st December previously, on or before the 31st of March in each year. That all works, public or private, commenced or proceeded with without the consent of this Board, that shall be within the high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, shall be stopped by this Board's order, and, if necessary, be removed at the expense of the parties who have cln structed them." Other recommendations which follow regard the provision to be made tor securing accurate registers and reports of the state of the harbour groundi from time to time, registers of meteorological, tidal, and barometrical observations, &c. The concluding para graph is so directly to the purpose of these observations, and similar comments which we have on other occasions submitted on this very important topic to the public, that we hope to be excused for quoting some part of it in this place And when they consider the great waist of accessible har bours along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's dominions —more especially when the extended use of steam-navigation points to such great changes in maritime affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when they consider that by the improvement of our tidal harbours your Majesty's ber.eficient intentions fur the preservation of the lives and property of a large class of your Majesty's sub jects may be fulfilled, they confidently trust that no minor considerations may be allowed to impede the accomplishment of objects of such national importance." These are words of weight and wisdom. Let us hope they will be not only remembered, but promptly acted upon by the Government, who ought to feel by this time that harbours of refuge, the better mainten ance of all works connected with the conservancy of rivers a nd existing harbours, and the adequate fortifica • tions of our exposed coasts, are national objects of far higher interest and importance than struggles for main taining the ascendancy of their own party, or for the propagation of their own political opinions. Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received, but they contain no intelligence of the slightest interest. A new list of senators, chiefly selected from members of the liberal professions and the wealthier classes of civilians, was to be published in a few days. On the 25th the Thr,:e per Cents. closed at 314 for cash, and 314 for the 30th of August ; and the Five per Cents. at 22; at 60 days. The Paris Moniteur contains dispatches from Otaheite up to the 28th of April. At that period no fresh act of disturbance on the part of the natives had taken place iu that settlement, but some of them still continued i❑ the entrenched camps of Panavia and Papenco. At the Marquesas Islands a tribe of Nouka-Iliva, discontenttd with a fine inflicted on it for having plundered some flocks, assassinated, on the 28th of January, five sol diers of the garrison. A detachment sent against tha tribe pursued and dispersed it. Ail the other tribes made common cause with the garrison. The principal assas sins were apprehended. Their chief, PAKoKO, was con demned to death and executed. The others were tt [im ported. TranqUillity had not been since disturbed. The sanitary state and situation of the establishments at Taioahe and Vaitahu were satisfactory. The same official journal contradicts the report that had appeared in some of the papers stating that Admiral CECILLE had taken possession of Bassilan, one of the Philippine islands. " The Constitutional," it says, " announced yesterday that Admiral CECILLE, having occupied the island of Bassilan, according to instructions received from his Government, had been disavowed. These assertions are erroneous. At no time did the Government give orders to occupy Bassilan, and Admiral CECILLE never took possession of this island." The other intelligence in the Paris papers is without interest if we except the accounts of the harvest from the provinces, which on the whole are favourable. The fine weather which has prevailed for some time had enabled the farmers to secure a great proportion of the crops in the north of France, which are said to be abundant and fully equal to those of last year. The Royal Family were expected at St. Cloud from Eu in the course of the week. Nothing was done in the French Funds on Sunday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPT. I.

Wimbush, who was brought up at this Court on Satur day, on a charge of stealing a watch from Messrs. Debenham placed at t and he b S a t r o , r b r e , fo o r f i n r g . tarredeiti:eC, Covent-garden, -garden, was again Mr. Clarkson opened the case, and called the following wit- news : Charles Walker, watch-maker, of 40, Princes-street, Soho, identified the watch produced as having been made by him for a Mr. Bullock, an artist, of the Strand. It wa. , i numbered 375. It has a duplex escapement, is jewelled in four holes, with compensation balance, enamelled dial, and seconds. He made it a b ou t t h r ee years ago, but co uld not speak exactly to the time w h en h e made it, as he had not his books in Court. A perso n , name d Richardson,, called upon him in April, 1844, and, describi ng the watch to him, asked hi s opini on as to the quality of the watch. Mr. Clarkson said he must not go into the particulars of se , n versation a t %N i l o ' the prisoner was not present, he would, there fore only ask whether the c onversation had re fer e n ce t o the sale at Messrs. Debenham and Store's ? The witness said it had. H e gave Mr. Richardson his opi nion of the quality of the watch. A few days after Le saw Mr. Richardson again, and heard from him that the watch had been stolen. That was in April, and in December or January following a person named Cloughly called upon him and showed him a watch. He asked him whether he had made it, and he said he had, and that it bad been stolen. He added that he (Cloughly) must go with him to Messrs. Debenham arid Store, from whom the watch had beer , stolen. Cloughly expressed himself willi ng t o go , and on arri vin g at Me ssrs. Debenham's he said he h a d rece i v ed it from M r. Wim bush , and gave him 30 guineas for it. Mr. Geor ge B u ll oc k said that he W 63 an arti s t, and that the watch produc e d, witness. Ile gave hi m 30/. for it. He afterwards p led g ed it or one similar , was made for him b y the last to a pawnbroker in St. Martin's -lane. He did not pawn it himself, but tent Mrs. Bellock with it. He now produced the ticket which she received on pledging it. William Moore, assistant in the shop of Mr. Fleming, Pawnbroker, in St. Martin's-lane, spoke to having received the watch from Yrs. Bullock, and alto to having sent it to Messrs. Debenham and Store's, to be sold by auction. Mr. Richardson, picture-deal: r, corroborated part of Mr. Walker's evidence, and proved that the watch, together with other articles of great value, were stolen during a sale at Messrs. Debenham and Store, in April, 1644, at which the pri soner was present. James Uloughly, of 98, Ling-acre, clerk to Messrs. Pearce, army clothiers, stated that in the month of May last year, or thereaLouts, he bought frem the prisoner the -- itch now pro duced. The prisoner owed him money at tha rime, but wit ness, however, gave cash 131. fee this article. Het equired a memorandum of the sale and pay ment, whichhowever, he did not receive from the prisoner until the April following. He had that memorandum still in his possession. The MAGISTRATE interrupted the examination, directing the witness to go home for the memorandum, and produce it iu court with as little delay as possible. During his absence, witnesses from the establishment of Messrs. Machin and Debenham were called to prove the fol lowing facts which had been set forth in Mr. Clarkson's state ment;:— A gold casket and some diamonds and doubloons, stolen at the same time with the watch, were of the value of about 300/. The prisoner was in the habit of attending the sales, and those respectable dealers who were known were admitted behind the counter to examine the more valuable articles. The prisoner was seen to examine the arti cles in question shortly before th e y were missed. About twenty or thirty dealers examined the articles the morning of the robbery. Mr. Clou;.hly (having returned) produced the memorandum of receipt of payment for the watch, which he swore to be in the prisoner's handwriting. He had known the prisoner twenty years. In answer to the prisoner's solicitor, the witness sa id, that his statement that he bought th e wa tch in May, 1844, de pended on the prisoner's memo ran d u m, and not on his own recollect ion. . . ._,..,..._,......... William Stunt, a cle r k i n the employment of the prosecutor, stated, th at on the day after the robbery, he received instru c ti ons f rom his employers to go round to the several dialers i n go ld, a nd to inquire whether they had purchased bullion of th e ki n d i n to which the doubloons and gold casket were likely to be converted . In such a case, it would be the useal course for the dealer to give every assistance to l e ad to the tracing of the thief. The prison er was in the counting-house when witness received those instructions, and followed witness out, offering to accompany him to the city, if witness would first come to an eating-house and dine with him. The prisoner said it would be useless to go the bullion-dealers, they could give no information, a, !I lex y e ,,r !m.i: ro. , teF.; !,... , ever, he would ~.1,..- ,- , Ailie,i the ~-; „ t ;J., I, i i ,i,;,,,,. At ..:1...c.i the manner in which the prisoner remarked upon the robbery excited the suspicions of witness, and he therefore made an (AMC for retaining to his employers, to .whom he communicated those suspicions that the prisoner was concerned in the robbery. Trey told him to go at once to the refiners notwithstanding. He went accordingly into the City, but being determined not to take the prisoner with him, he left him at the Bell and Crown, Holborn, where the prisoner stopped to see his wife off by the coach. Edmund Collins, a. refiner and smelter, proved to have pur chased a bar of gold, weighing 11 ounces, proved to have pur ehaced a bar of gold, weighing 11 ounces, frein the prisoner, on the 20th April, 1e44. Line robbery took place on the 17th.1 An offieer of police proved to finding a smelting apparatus in the prisoner's house. . After some further evidence, the prisoner was fully com mitted for trial. MARLB OROUG H-STREET. (THIS PAY.) Mary Foy, a poor woman, who seemed to be in a very exhausted state, with her child, a weakly boy, between seven and eight years, of age, were charged by police•constable No. 12, of the C division, with having been apprehended by him last evening begging in the public streets. The mother said she was in a state of the greatest destitution, neither her child nor herself having, for the last two days and nights had any fo. d but what was supplied to them this morn ing at the police station-house. They were making their way to Newcastle, in the hope of meeting her husband. Mr. MALTBY asked if she was known as a common mendi cant?—The constable said she was not. lie had reason to beleve that the account she had given of herself was true. Mr. MA vraY—lf I discharge her, will she leave town tLis day, and proceed on her way to Newcastle? The mother—Oh yes, with pleasure I will: Mr. MALTBY humanely ordered some silver to be given to the poor crcature fr.= out of the poor-box, to assist her on her way, for which she expressed herself truly thankful, and left the court with a greatly lightened heart. CLERKEN ELL.-(r MS DAY.) Mr. Henson, a merchant's traveller, residing in Basinghall st►eet, was charged with being riotous in the public street.

CITY, QUARTER TO MBE's, A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester day, the sales being fully 10,000 bales, of which 4,000 were on speculation. There was a fair quantity on offer. 500 Surat sold at 3d. to 3 1 / t d. ; 200 Maranham, at 5N d. ; 150 Pernams, at 6,0. to 6 3 %d.; 400 Egyptian, at 610. to 9d. ; and the rest American, at 3 3 / 4 d. to 6 1 / 4 d.—A large businese was done in Shares, at full prices. Tnere are no ship arrivals to-clay, nor is anything of in terest stirring. The arrangements for the due prosecution of the timber trade at Liverpool appear to be very defective, if we may judge by the following communication from the outport, in which also are contained some interesting particulars rela tive to the general state of the market ;—Since the 18th instant, the arrivals have been limited, say only six vessels, 3,470 tons, and the sales, in like manner, limited to a tew cargoes, the attention of all parties being turned to the re moval from the quay of the timber which had been heaped on it in the utmost confusion. The relaxation of the pressure in the discharging for the last few days, has enabled the quays to be somewhat rdieved, and it is hoped that the dock Committee will take the present opportunity, in compliance with the application of the majority of the importers and timber-merchants, of making such arrangements as will pre vent a recurrence of such a state of things as has been expe rienced during the last four weeks, and which has caused a great loss of property, severe loss by fines, and a greater de clension in the market than, under other circumstances, would have taken place. This confusion is attributable to the following causes, viz. .—The discharging without being confined to a specified berth or space ; the working of sufferance from daylight to dark, without also applying an equal amount of force to remove the timber so discharged, and the mixing of cargoes with each other, which renders the identification of timber very difficult, prevents its being effectually worked at ; and as the present system obliges the work to be carried on throughout the night (which is contrary to reason and the usage of any other trade) fraud is very much facilitated, and at such time many legs are stolen off the quay. If, however, the request of the im porters and timber merchants be acted on, a remedy may be applied, as far as the present system will admit of ; the im porter will be able to identify his property, the buyer will have the opportunity of seeing it connectedly, and removing it effectively ; the Custom-house officer will be facilitated in his duty, and the ship in future will always have a defined place to be discharging into, without encroaching on another's berth, and throwing all into confusion. At the present moment the quays arc covered with timber, dis charged out of ships which are more than a week at sea, much of it not yet measured by the Customs. When the quays are thus regulated, a steadier market and better prices will be the consequence. From the great delay the ships have experienced on the other side, joined to long passages home, the num ber of second voyage ships is much less than usual : and this market will probably not have the overwhelming import from Canatia that was first anticipated; in such case better prices may be expected for the full fleet. The Stock market continues rather dull, and sales are still made in Consols, so as to check the improvement which the fine weather might otherwise occasion.

WARD, with its appen , dix, will be regarded by many as a singular document ; hut those who know the Puseyites will ,consider nothing really singular which proceeds from such a source. They seem to us to confound right and wrong, truth and error, and not a few of the other moral principles which have been regarded by the good in all ages as the surest guides for a virtuous and useful life. They re ject private judgment they reject even the Bible as an instructor, and overleap at one bound all the strong bulwarks of the Protestant faith, and denounce the greatest blessing of modern times— the Reformation—as a great crime. That we may not be charged with misrepresenting their tenets, we quote Mr. WARD'S own words. " Those," says he, " who care to know my reasons for thinking that the English Church, whether her voice be listened for in her formularies, or in her practical teaching, is no trust worthy guide (and, I may add, for thinking that neither the Bible nor antiquity, interpreted by private judgment, are any trustworthy guides either); I must refer to my large work, and to my Address to Members of Convo cation,' where they will find those questions treated at length. An objection has lately been made to me in private against what has just been said, as fol lows :—lt has been objected that the English Church does teach with divine authority the creeds; because, so far as they are concerned, she speaks' not as the English Church, but as conveying to us the faith of the Catholic Church, such as it was from the begin ning.' But let me ask—how do we know that these creeds contain the faith of the Catholic Church such as it was fr the beginning ? If by our own private re searches into antiquity, then our rule of faith is not the English Church, but; antiquity interpreted by private judgment, which is altogether a different matter." These are startling assertions, coming from a member of the English Church, and they become the more alarming when it is known that a very large proportion of the men calling themselves Protestant clergymen enter tain the same Catholic doctrines. Should England ever have the misf ettune to fall under the keeping of such men in regard to religious matters, she would speedily lose most of the numerous and inestimable advantages conferred by the Reformation, she would resign that spirit of free inquiry which has distinguished her from moat nations for centuries, and le vert to a condition little better than that with which she was cursed during the t darkest ag.s of Popery.

Nothing, it will be seen, was further from my intention than so to speak; I meant merely to say that, whereas the English Church professes belief in these creeds, there was a very good ground afforded me for calling on Eng lish Churchmen to aim at realising and appropriating the verities contained in them. But I did not conceal my belief, that in proportion as they did so, they would learn to be dissa tisfied with their Church's formularies as a whole, and dile , trustful of her authority. Nor should it be forgotten, that I tnaintained in my work that the true doctrine on " justifica tion" is in one sense more at the foundation of orthodoxy than any other whatever ; and, moreover, that the most formally dogmatic statement on that subject put forth by the English Church, unless under a very "non-natural" interpretation, asserts the contradictory of that doctrine. In thus disparaging the authority of the English Church, I am not at all forgetting, that in arightly disciplined mind there will be an inward response, which tends more and more, if exercised, to afford conviction on certain doctrines, irrespec tive of the authority on which they were originally received ; and a Christian would indeed be pursuing a mad course if be were to allow his faith in these doctrines to waver, even though for a time (from whatever cause) he were unable to see his way, to bow before some other external authority. But it would be foreign to my purpose to pursue this subject further. Bat by far the meat prevailing argument of which I have heard, in opposition to the views maintained in my letter, is grounded on the notes of life and sanctity within the English Church. "We who are in that Church," it is said, " have the plainest proof before us that the sudden revival of strietneea sad orthodoxy has I een from within, not by the in fluence of an external body; and the communion wherein God so visibly works, must 'ie a home of His in which it is safe for us to abide." Nay, many seem to have thought that I myself advocated this view in the " Ideal," and that my own arguments might be employed against myself I trust that, in what I have already said, I have shown my self to be not unwilling to retract an opinion, merely be cause I have once expressed it. But I really have never myself seen the sufficiency of this argument. Surely it is quite conceivable that God shati!ti stir, from within, a schis matical body, in order to reinforce His Church; He may work mightil:, in such a body, not in order to establish it, but in order gradually to dissolve it. And whether of these two be His will, must be gathered from further consideration. The arguments on which I formerly based the (supposed) duty of adhesion to the English Church (arguments, as I have said, which I do not now think valid), were as follows:—We cannot doubt of the vitality of the English Church, not only when we observe the sanctity which has been the witnessed fruit of her ordinances, but also when we think of the re markable manner in which doctrines handed down for two or three hundred years, has now germinated, and is so abundantly germinating, into " the whole cycle of Roman doctrine." First, So long as we are allowed free scope in our Church so to develop the doctrines we have learned from that Church, she is surely our natural and legitimate home, the doctrines, which might be considered a cause for leaving her, are the offspring of what we have learned from herself, and are permitted, without authoritative check, within her pale : and second, in proportion as those who were molested with doubts, have lived a stricter life, and rested a greater weight on the ordinances cf their Church, their confi dence in their position has been increased. Now, as I say in my letter, both th se reasons for remaining in the English Church have now ceased to exist elst, the free spread of Roman doctrine in our Church has been authoritatively checked ; and, 2d, it is no longer true, as is now very generally known, that a stricter life in our communion has lessened doubts in the quar ter where doubts have been acutely felt. Those, then, who thought the arguments adduced in my work in defence of our position satisfactory (as I do not think them), cannot any longer rest upon them ; for whatever force they once had is some to an end. Aiy present intention, then, implies no denial, nor could I Isonestly attempt any denial, of undoubted fact that there has been of late years a remarkable gush of life from within the English Church. Nor, indeed, considering the great be nefit I humbly hope to have derived from agencies at work within her, could I bring myself to separate from her commu nion without eareful thought and deliberation. But such thought and deliberation hare not, I hope, been wanting. Even now I trust I may never forget how much I owe of those very convictions, which have caused my present resolu tion, to teaching administered in the name of the English Church : and I most earnestly hope to see the time ehen I may again be united in the same communion with, and be enabled to profit by, the closer example of those many admir able persons ' whom I am quite unable to follow in regarding the English Church as a safe home for the Catholic-minded Christian.—l remain, Sir, your faithful servant, W. G. WARD. Row-bill, Oxford, Aug. 26, 1845. THE WAR IN THE CAUCASUS. The following is a summary of the recent operations of the Russians in the mountains of Circassia. We have drawn it up from an article in the Journal des Debuts, which contains, besides the official news last received at St. Petersburg, certain important details extracted from some private letters : Toe expedition of the General in-Chief, Count Wo ronzoff, seems to amount to this, that, starting from a point of the line of the advanced Russian ports north of the Caucasus, he has described in his march an arc of a circle across the mountains, ultimately falling beckon anotherpoint of the said line. The campaign lasted altoge ther six weeks. The southernmost point of the curved line described seems to have been Dargo,the residence of the Imaum Schamil (who may be considered as the Abd-el • Kistler of the Caucasus). Between Andy (the point at which the previous intelligence last left the Count and his expeditionary force) acid Dargo, the Russians had to encounter the greatest difficulties. After crossing the great chain of mountains called Retchel, they descended by abrupt and deep ravines into the thick forests of Itechket y, which they traversed by paths scarcely prac ticable, the expeditionary force occupying a breadth of twenty vends. The Ci, cassians had raised barricades, constructed of felled trees, everywhere across the valley occupied by the forest. The Russians had to dislodge the mountaineers at the point of the bayonet from every one of these barricades, which were 26 in number, disposed, one afar the other, over a length of eight leagues (something 'more than 20 miles). The losses of the Russians are described as enormous, whilst their enemy, firing from behind cover, left behind them scarcely any dead. At length the Rus sians reached Dargo, which they destroyed, the Imaum himself having previously set fire to it. The place is de scribed in the Russian account as the great rampart of Schamil's power, but other accounts represent it as a vil lage composed merely of a collection of mud edifices, nod situated on a height overlooking a deep gorge. It is 20 leagues south of the line of the Terek, and about equi distant from the Caspian and black Seas. At Dargo the Russians halted, but the mountaineers were not idle. A convoy of provisions (of which the invaders were much in want) and munitions of war, had been dispatched from Andy. Count Woronzoff detached, from his main force at Dargo, Lieutenant-General Klucke of Klunegan, with a column of six battalions, four pieces of mountain artil lery, and some cavalry, to go and meet this convoy already escorted by a strong column. The troops, both in going to meet the convoy and in coming back with it., had to encounter the most obstinate resistance in the forest. It was the very line just traversed by the Russian army. but already the Circassians bad returned in numbers, and con structed fresh barricade's. On the 23d of July, especial,y, on their return to Dargo, the Russians had to sustain a most long, obstinate, and furious encounter. More than 400 Circassians were left dead on the field. But the loss of the Russians was very great. Two of their Major-Generals (Passek and Vilstoroff) were killed. The mountaineers sueceedeefln capturing 900 mules loaded with provisions. Their ammunition failing them, they drew their poniards and rushed upon the Russians, endeavouring to pierce their ranks and to convert the fie hting into so many single combats. It was chiefly the officers that they singled out. for their fury. Ultimately the scanty rem nants of the convoy reached Woronzoff. But, mean while, he had himselt been most unexpectedly attacked on all sides by an enemy, which he imagined to be dispersed. It was at the very moment that Te Deum was being sting, by his orders, in honour of the fete of the Empress. The object of the Circassiacs was to divert him, whilst the convoy was being attacked. When Worouzoff at length left Dargo, it was to return to the line of the advanced forts. This return would seem to be voluntary according to the Russian accounts, as if the great object of the expedition had been secured by the capture and destruction of Dargo. But the private letters describe Woronzoff as in fact interrupting the course of his ope rations, when he thus turned round on his return north ward to the line of observation. They represent him as yielding to necessity, because his troops were so deci mated and harassed, and in such want of provisions, that be could undertake nothing more with them. On his new route Woronzoff had to carry the fortified heights of Teenhery, which were occupied by the troops of Schamil, and, descending along the left bank of the river Aksai, he reached Choueal-Berdy, where he halted leading traversed a road that was all along bristling with intrenchments, from each and every one of which be had to dislodge the mountaineers. The fighting seems to have been incessant Meantime Major Gene ral Freitag having assemble d in all haste seven battalions anl a half, together with 300 Cossacks and 13 pieces of artillery, advanced from the line of forts, to meet the General-in-Chief. When Worenzeff and that Freitag had reached Miskit, he left Chougal-Bcrdy, and, after some further fighting with the enemy, succei ded in ef fecting a junction with the division that had thus come to his assistance. Finally, on the Ist of August, the two united bodies of Russians arrived at Guerzel-Aoul, on the line of advanced forts. A studied obscurity prevails throughout the official report in the Journal of St. Fdersburg, and without the assistance of the news in the private letters it would be difficult to understand the opeiations. The St. Peters burg Journal affects to consider that great things have been accomplished by the expedition, but the Debate asserts that Woronzoff, with his military talents and the large force at his disposal, has completely failed in his efforts to subjugate the mountaineers, and that it is proved . by his falling back, after his seccess at Dargo, on his line of operations, which he was not even able to reach without the assistance of General Freitag. It was considered (says the Debut,) that a great disaster would have befallen him, but for the advance of Freitag, for he was blockaded by the mountaineers, and without provisions. Altogether the campaign is held to be one without any result, so far as the preg,eess of Russian domination in the interior of Circassla is concerned. Prince Alexander of llesse, who was serving in the army of the Caucasus, has given it up, and is on his return to St. Petersburg. Finally, Wotonzoff has dispersed his troops throughout the gar risons and cantonments on his line of ebeervetion. COLONX.ei.X. S UGAR.-Th CO market for British Plantation is very heavy, scarcely any business having been done ; but for the few small parcels disposed of lower prices have been accepted, 'establishing a decline of Gd to Is upon grocery descriptions. The public sales have only offered 3,070 bags Mauritius, and 832 bags Penang (subject to 183 Sd duty), nearly all of which sold, but went off without spirit, and at rather lower prices; they were, however, chiefly in small lots, and of inferior quality, affording little guide to the market generally. Low to good brown Mauritius brought 38s to 455; low to fine yellow 45s 6d to 525; low to good brown Penang 40s to 425, and low to fine yellow 463 to 53s per cwt. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 2,17 G hhds 174 tierces 572 barrels; there were taken for home consumption 1,694 hhds 177 tierces 572 barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,540 hhds 1,250 tierces 2,381 barrels. Rum.—The quantity landed last week, at the East and West India Docks, was 123 puns 1 hhd. There were taken for home consumption 145 puns 18 hhds, and exported 248 puns 1 5 hhds. The stock in the swine places is 9,912 puns 1,097 hhds. COFFEE —This article is quiet. There are very few sales announced. Corros is steady. TOBACCO.—There has been an improved demand lately for most descriptions, and, for the period of the year, sales have been made to some extent, and may be computed at 1,500 hhds last month, independent of two cargoes of ordinary Kentucky, about 1,400 hhds taken for re sale.

SUICIDE INDUCED DY EXCESSIVE STUDY.—An inquest was held yesterday, at the King's Head, Canterbury street: York road, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. William Alfred Barker, aged twenty-three, late editor of a Nottingham newspaper. Mr. W. A. Barker, also the editor of a I,rovincial newspaper, said that the deceased was his son, and about three weeks ago came to his (witness's) residence in Howley -street, York-road, to proceed from thence to r4outhampton, for the benefit of his health. He returned in three or four days completely altered. His memory was entirely gone, and he was unable to exercise his mental Vaud s. On Saturday last witness intended to obtain a certificate as to the state of his mind, in order to place him under re straint, and went out telling the deceased to follow him, and meet him on Waterloo-bridge, but after waiting a consider able time he became alarmed at his long absence, and returned. He then searched all the rooms in the house for him ' and afterwards descended to the coal- ce ll ar , w h ere he found him suspended by the neck by means of a rope fastened to the iron grating, and his hands tied ,tightly behind him. Witness immediately cut him down and sent for surgical assistance, but if deceased was not already dead he died in a tew seconds. Witness believed the deranged state of his mind to have been occasioned by illness brought on by ex cessive study. About fifteen months ago, when iu London, he used to devote so much of his mind to study, that he deprived himself of necessary ford and repose. He had made a pre vious attempt upon his life. Mr. J. E. Stahlsmidts, the editor of a weekly journal, having corroborated the previous evidence relative to the state of mind of the deceased, the jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind." • IMPROVEMENTS, &C., OF PUBLIC EDIFICES.— Workmen are at present engaged in painting the outer iron gallery at the top of the cupola of St. Pail's Cathedral ; it is done in stone colour, and has a very good effect.

WESLEYAN AIETHODISTS AND MATRIMONY.-At the late conference the Wesleyan Methodists resolved not to admit to the Theological Institution any married student, or any person under engagement of marriage. The reason assigned for this prohibition is, that young men so circum stanced eagerly snatch at any means of getting a livelihood. At the same conference the Methodists determined for the first time to avail themselves of the New Marriage Act, and to have their marriages celebrated by their own ministers in their chapels. ACCIDENTS ON THE LANCASHIRE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last a dreadful accident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line, at the cutting through a large hill upon the Shap Fells, Westmoreland. A portion of the rock had been charged with gunpowder, for the purpose of blasting, when, from some cause or other, the charge would nut explode, and two of the workmen returned to it and commenced drilling the stone, to draw out the powder. In doing this they had unfortunately neglected to pour into the hole a sufficient quantity of water to keep the stone moist, and the consequence was that the jumper became heated from the friction, and ignited the powder. One of the poor fellows Ives blown into the air a height of thirty or fusty feat, and came down upon a heap of stones ; after which Le relied into a gullet twelve feet in depth; and the other, by the force of the hlaA, was driven to a considerable distance. he unfortunate men did eat exhibit any signs of life until medical assistance was ob tained, when they partly revived. The injuries, however, are of ouch a description that there is not the least possible chance of their recovery. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A STEAMER.-011 Stln• day rrornieg the Er,ith, a Gravesend and Erith steamer, Cap tain Warren. left Ilungerford-market with a large number of persona.

'l' be alarm of the numerous passengers was great, and the screams of the females were distinctly heard at the piers at Woolwich. To make the matter worse, the Emerald, Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Diamond Company, which was close astern of the Erith, in coming alongside to render assistance, came with some force against the Erith, re newing the warm of the passengers. Some of them were em barked on board the Emerald ; others were taken off in the watermen's boats, which crowded round as s.on as the acci dent was known. A few remained on board the Erith, which was towed to the Watermen's Pier by the steamer Waterman, No. 4, where the proprietor of the vess.l, Mr. Langton, re. turned them their fares.

Tun Ezra ItINIENTAL SQUADRON.—The Alban steam-ves sel, Lieut.-Commander Lowe, has arrived at Devouport from the experimental squadron, to the ships forming which she conveyed seamen and boys, eft behind on the fl et sailing from Spithead. By her we learn that the fleet had ha no trying v,e, , ber ; at all the trials, which had taken place in light and bailing winde, the Queen, 110, three decker, com manded by Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, of the Surveyor of the 'Navy's construction, had the advantage of aY the others, but it was very slight ; the Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer, C. 8., another of the Surveyor's ships, was second on tome points ; but the Rodney, 92, Captain Col.. lier, C. P., constructed by Sir R. Seppings, was second on other points of sailing; the Canopus, B', Captain F. Moresby. C. 8., the old French line of battle ship, built in 1794, was fourth ; the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, the flag ship of the commander in chief, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., built in 1815, and the first in the expe rimental cruise last year. was fifth; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin, built in IS4I, by Mr. Lang, of Woolwich Deck-yard, or, the lines of the St. Vincent, was sixth ; the Superb, 80, Captain Corry, the newest ship of the squadron, built by the Surveyor, was seventh ; and the Vanguard, 80, Captain Writes, sister ship to the Superb, and called the " crack ship" of the Mediterranean in 1838 and 1839, although lighter than any of others, was last.

OBJECTIONS TO VOTERS TIIROUGII THE POST OFFICE.—We unders'and that a great number of objections to parties on the register of county voters, posted cn the 25th inst., and on previous days, did not reach the overseers to whom they were addressed till Thursday morning last, the 28th, though in due course of post all notices bearing the Manchester post-mark of the 24th, as posted on that day, should have been delivered on the following day in Manchester and the contiguous townships. The clerks found it altogether impracticable to sort for delivery on the 25th the thousands of notices of objec tion which were posted on the 22d, 23d, and 24qt inst., and hence the delay—one which neither the objecting parties nor the °veneers could obviate, and for which none but the Post- office department can be regarded as strictly answerable.— Ma nche titer Guardian.
