To the principles the Church had announced they had adhered, and without one iota of modifi cation they intended t,) adhere.—(Cheers.) He should not attempt to carry the meeting back into the wide controversy by which these principles came into conflict. But he would say that they were the distinguishing principles of the Reformation.--(Cheers.) The essence of the Reformation was that it recognised the Word of God. The work of Luther might be described as this: that he recovered the great standard of truth and, duty, and the only infallible rule of faith. Reestablished the great principle that God alone was the guide of con science. On these principles they had seceded. But he contended that they had seceded as a Church.— (Hear.) It was as a Church that they sought the decision of the Legislature; both legally and constitutionally the Free Church claimed to be the Church of Scotland They had no intention of troubling the Legislature with that question now. —(lmmense cheerin ! , several times re newed.) As long as duty required it, they had sought to nducetheLegislature to grant them protection against the decisions of the courts of law, by which their rights and liberties were trampled under foot. It would seem not an impossible thing to get from the Legislature a protection against the decisions of courts of law when those decisions deprived Arians and Unitarians of the property they had usurped and applied to purposes different to those which the owners intended. Protection from the Legislature against these decisions could be obtained. There was a Bill then before Parliament, laid on the table of the House of Lords by the Lord Chancellor, practically for the purpose of subvert ing the decisions of courts of law, because those decisions took from heretics property that never ought to have been thetrs, and which they misapplied to the propagation of deadly errors. But when they went to obtain protection against decisions which tramelled their movements, and thwarted their efforts to evangelize the waste places of their native land, then no legis lation to protect them could be obtained. The decisions of the courts of law wr e f , - th the , utmost rigour; on th e principle , - Ironietsicesitary- hid down,- gave the judgment of Parliament, and said that the principles which the courts of law had condemned, he was determined to extinguish. How far he had succeeded let the prosperity of the Free Church in Scotland tell !—(Loud cheers.) Let its 600 ministers, its 200 probationers, its 3,000 elders, and its million of people, tell !—(Cheers.) In proportion to the popu ht ion, this was the same as if 5,000 ministers, and six or seven millions of people, had seceded from the Church of England. Let this tell how far the Home Secretary had succeeded. Let the meetings in England—let such meetings as thepresent tell how successful he was.-(Cheers.) The Established . Church, as it remained, had excommunicated Christendom ; it bad cut off from itself the communion with all the Christian churches in the world; surely it ill became her to make charges against others of alienation and disaffection towards her. She was now endeavouring to take the places of worship built with the money of those who had joined the Free Church from them. Standing, like Shylock, on the bond—on what the letter of the law would give her—she took to herself these places of worship, and even the buildings erected by the efforts of their missionaries. And, as if to crown all, she was labour ing in many parts of Scotland to keep the adherents of the Free Church from having a shelter over them from the inclemency of the winter's sky. He would not allude to what had been done in Sutherland; but he would read an extract from a letter from that county, which stated that a congregation had been compelled to meet in the open air, when there was snow a foot deep on the ground. He admitted that objectionable expressions had occasionally been used, but, on that subject, he would say, let those who were faultless cast the first stone. One proof that the charge was not very extensively applicable, was to be found in the fact that their opponents were obliged to have recourse now to the same hackneyed anecdotes which were rife twelve months hack.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He admitted that they were opposed to the Established Church ; they must be so as long as it continued in error.— ( Cries of " Hearear.") That which justified their conduct must necessarily be condemnatory of their opponents.— (Cheers. ) They firmly believed that that institution could not prosper, and must come down. Truth was mighty and must ultimately prevail. The true secret, the true philosophy, of the disruption of the Scottish Establishment was found in her growing evangelism, in the growing fidelity with wh:ch she was testifying against error and sin. Everywhere there were growing indications of a great league between the infidel and the Papist power. It was high time that they should awake out of sleep ; it was high time that the old Highland war cry, " Shouldes to shoulder," should be raised amongst the soldiers of the Lord's hest, that so they might be ready, in one united phalanx, to " come to the help of the Lord against the mighty. " Sir Jamas FORREST, an elder of the Free Church of Scot land, next addressed the meeting. He said it should not be snpposed that the question w hi c h they had heard mooted that evening was a clerical question, although it was one in which they had, from the first, felt the deepest interest. Their reverend friends had not been contending for clerical power, or for the interests of their own order, but for great principles, in which all were interested. It was for this reason that the Scotch people had supported them in their struggle. A mil lion of people had already joined the protesting Church, and new churches were at that moment rising in all parts of Scot land. There was a necessity for instant and immediate ri.ssist ance. Eight hundred churches were being built. and others were in contemplation ; and in such instances it was necessary to put forth strenuous efforts.—( Hear, hear.) Their minis ters had made great and noble sacrifices ; many of their flocks were wershippin as yet, under the canopy of Heave n . —(H ear , hear . ) He was happy to say that they had in E ng l an d me t w ith thekindest sympathy. Even in Cambridge, in spite of all the prejudices excited against them, they had been received with the greatest kindness, and they expected to derive considerable support from that town.— ( Cheers.) To-morrow they proposed to visit another strong hold of the enemy—Oxford, where they hoped, notwithstand ing the character of the University, to meet with similar inceess.—(Cbaers. ) A public meeting of the friends of the Free Church of Scotland was held last evening at Exeter Hall, for the from a deput a tion from the Free pcuhruprocsiel ofo s r c e o c t e l a l v n i d n! , a statement of the present condi tion and prospects of that Church, with the view of rais ing a contribution towards the expense of erecting new places of worship for those congregations which, by the secession from the Establishment, are left without church accommodation. The meeting was very fully attended, the hall and galleries being crowded. A large propor tion of the meeting consisted of ladies. P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P., presided.

The proceedings of the meeting having been opened by a prayer from the R ev . D r . J en ki ns, The CHAIRMAN called attention to the objeCts of the meeting. The question to be submitted to them was not one that could be confined within the limits of Scotland or England. It was a momentosta _question affecting every Christian In the 'world. He was not going to trench on the business of those around him—that was in abler hands than his; but one point he must refer to. He had the privilege of glancing at the characters of those who had come as the deputation from Scotland. This was no slight point. What an evidence had they not offered of their sincerity, by giving up all their worldly endowments, to which they refused to sacrifice religious liberty and spiritual independence for the sake of expediency. These were the men to whom they were asked to listen. Tkey were there, not to plead for them selves, bat for the destitute congregations left in the wilderness without shade or shelter. Eight hundred congregations came out from the Establishment, and for these congregations 500 churches had been built, or were about to built. They had, therefore, still to provide for 200 or 300 congregations. This was the cause they came to plead for, and he was sure that the efforts of those who were to address them would be both successful and convincing. He then called on Dr. MANELLAR, late Moderator of the General Assem bly of the Church of Scotland, who addressed the meet ing. He said though the nature of the events that had taken place in Scotland was becoming better known in England, still some explanation of the objects of their mission was necessary. They came as a deputation from the Church of Scotland—not from the Church of Scot land as by law established ; with that they had no con nection ; they differed with it in spirit, in character, and in proceedings. He did not use this language in an offensive sense ; their controversy with that Church was one of principle, not of passion. They envied not that Church its possessions. Their object was not to set up a rival Church ; they wished to constitute a real Church. —(Cheers.) And that the Free Church was the real Church of Scotland was proved by reference to the books of their Church, the proceedings of its General Assem blies, the history of the Church, and to the constitution of the country.—(Cheers.) By the union of Scotland with England, the independence of their Church had been injured, and their full enjoyment of the privileges of their Church been prevented. The evil their forefathers contemplated had occurred, and by the preponderance of England they had been wronged and injured. They did not wish to bring " a railing accusation" against those who had caused that injury and wrong, whether they were judges, legislators, or ministers of state. But from an un wiliingness to look into and examine what was really the constitution of the Church of Scotland, they had been induced to judge it by a theory of their own, not by what was really th e cons tit u ti on o f th a t Church.— (Hear, hear.) They did not accuse the English people of being parties to this wrong ; they were a just and generous people ; they did not accuse them of being the instruments of this injury. But they trusted that through the intercourse they had with them, and the information that had gone abroad on this subject, the people of this country would use their best endeavours, not to put them back where they were—but to assist them in maintaining the cause of God and truth—a elms. that might, sooner-than they were aware of, come to their own door.—(Cheers.) That the Free Church was the true Church of Scotland, might be proved both from its constitution and the conduct of its ,ministers. They had no desire to speak there of their own sacri fices ; but at the same time it would be miserable affec tation to say that they had not suffered, and suffered severely.—( Hear, hear.) Five hundred ministers had quitted connexion with the Established Church of Scot land ; from the relative number of the ministers of the Established Church in England, and the number of the population, they would be able to estimate, if such a secession were to take place in the English Church, the extent of the sacrifice. Of the probationers, too, of the Church of Scotland —men duly licensed to preach the gospel-170 had quitted the Establishment with the 500 ministers, and that under circumstances even. more try ing than those attending the separation of the ministers. They were in the morning of their days, in the ardour of their hopes, seeing before them a prosperous career — and all this they had renounced.—(Cheers.) They had further evidence that the Free Church was the true Church of Scotland in the conduct of the students of those who were in course of training for the miaistry of the Gospel. At their Theological College there were more than two hundred students, and those who had the advantage of being the most intimately acquainted with them—their professors and others—stated that these students were more distinguished by talent, ardour of study, fervent piety, and real devotedness, than the stu dents before them for forty years back.—(Cheers.) He could also refer, as a proof, to the missionaries sent out to foreign countries, to India and elsewhere, as furnish ing another proof of the influence of the Free Church. The missionaries had, without a single exception, given their adherence to the Free Church of Scotland.— (Cheers.) This testimony was of great value.—(Cheers.) Besides all this, the Free Church was the true Church of Scotland, because it was the Church of the people.— (Cheers.) There were at least a million of the people once attached to the Established Church that were now on the side of the Free Church.—(Hear, hear.) And he believed that if no undue influence were exercised over the people of Scotland that three-fourths of them would be on the side of the Free Church. The district to which he had the happiness to be attached was part of the Highlands' of Scotland. They all knew the character of the Highlanders for loyalty, for courage, and bravery. —(Cheers.) The battle plains of Europe and of the world had testified to their devotedness. to thier courage, and their bravery.—(Cheers.) But he had now to tell them that never had they given such testimony of their devotedness to any cause, of their courage in any earthly contest, as they had given in their firm, faithful, and determined attachment to the cause of the Free Church of Scotland.—(Cheers.) The people of that district were almost en tirely on the sid e of the Free Church, and if they only had teachers enough to send among them, acquainted with their own language and feelings, they would be all on their side. The Free Church claimed nothing which did not ' of right belong to the Church. The independence they claimed meant an exemption from the authority of the civil magistrates in things spiritual. They claimed nothing more. On the con trary, in civil matters, they were ready to give " tribute to whom tribute was due, custom to whom • custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour." But in things spiritual they felt it would be a violation of conscience to yield to the authority of any one. He had also further to notice the sympathy they had re ceived and were receiving from the other Christian Churches of Europe and America, and especially of England. The various religious denominations of Eng land had expressed towards them a sympathy of the kindest and most gratifying nature. All the visits they had paid to this country had been times of refreshment and consolation, and he trusted that these were but the first fruits of more pre cious blessings to come. Their contributions were needful and valuable to them. Hundreds of congre gations were without places of worship, and they were there to ask their assistance to pro‘ide them. He believed that 3001, or not much more, was enough to erect a place of worship for some of these cone,regations, and he trusted their appeal would not be in vain. He con cluded by thanking the meeting for the kindness with which it - had heard him, and hoping that the same in dulgence would be extended to the Others who had to succeed him. (Loud cheers.) England itself might be benefited by what had taken place--(Hear)—but whether that were the case or not, the ministers of the free church would be equally entitled to admiration. The two principles to which he had referred were destined to be the lights, not of Scotland alone, but of all Christe n d om . —(Ch eers. ) Th e act which the sece ding: ministers had committed was imperish able ; it would live in history ; and it would be recorded as the noblest event which had occurred in the present age (Cheers.) In conclusion, he apologised for having so long de. tained the meeting. The Rev. Dr. LEIFCHILD seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A collection was then made in aid of the building fund. The Rev. Dr. CA NDLISM then came forward to address the meeting. He said the sympathy which had been manifested for them by that meeting. was an ample recompense, if any were needed, for all which they had suffered in the defence of their principles. It was most cheering to him and to all the deputation, to find their sentiments advocated and pressed home with a power which they bad not seen since they were first put forth by their great master-spirit, Dr. Chalmers.—(Cheers.) They had besought the Legislature to look at this question with reference to Scottish statutes, and Scottish practices; and through their refusal to do so, they were now engaged in diffusing them in England itself.--(Cheers.) Throughout the whole past history of Scotland they had maintained the print ciple upon which they seceded to be vital and fundamental; there was no course open to them, therefore, but that which they bad pursued. Nothing had so sustained their minds in the contest as the circumstance that they had never bad any doubt as to the path of duty.--(Loud cheers.) He then proceeded to reply to some accusations made against him in a pamphlet written against the Free Church, and concluded a powerful address amidst loud plaudits. A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman, and ac knowledged, the meeting dispersed. N ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANTE SOCIETY, 46, CORNHILL, LON6ON. Capital Z 500,000.

Duncombe in the de bate last night : ; ' ..- gfr.::a-."'ltiitciug' h I have not gnirair-Itifi 0 .... quainted with you, yet, as I know your readiness to sym pathise with those who may (often for some wise purpose be visited by Providence with severe and sudden affliction, I beg leave to lay before you the following particulars of my unhappy case, as I am desirous of their being published ; and I hope that a perusal of them may remove from the minds •if many good men much of the prejudice that I believe to have been engendered against me by the falsehoods that have been industriously circulated upon the very melancholy subject, and also of drawing the attention of Government to the ne cessity, as well as justice, of protecting officers who may be grossly insulted, by the obvious benefit that must arise from inserting a clause in the articles of war, forbidding all officers from giving or receiving challenges upon pain of losing their commissions, and instituting a competent court before which officers who consider that they had been insulted, or injured in their characters, may lay their complaints for in vestigation, redress, or advice ; the establishing such a point would in all probability put an effectual stop to the lamentable practice of duelling; at present there is a trap laid for all gentlemen who have the honour to bear her Majesty's commission, into which the most inoffensive man who ever lived might fall when he least expected it. Few officers know anything of the civil or cri minal laws of the country, but there are also few but know what an officer has to expect should he pass unnoticed a gross personal insult ; and too many have seen the wretched and piteous object that an officer becomes who may be supposed to have shown a want of courage in action, or in resenting an insult. The scorned existence of such unfortunate men is too frightful to contemplate, as they are generally ami able and most sensitive; their unhappy lives are frequently terminated by insanity and suicide, or they sink into a pre mature grave from indescribable and concealed misery. I have to observe that I am most anxious to avoid giving offence to any of the great and good men that comprise her Majesty's Government, and I hope I may be pardoned for publicly expressing to the Duke of Wellington my most un bounded gratitude. " I will not. attempt to describe my own most unhappy , state of mind, since I have been forced to fly from my coun try, my profession, and my beloved wife, children, father, mother, and relations; but those who have known me from my childhood, and my gallant comrades, can conceive what I have suffered. I had a happy and a contented home, my utmost and constant endeavours were directed to perform, to the best of my power, my duties to my God, to all men, and also as a faithful subject to her most gracious Majesty, and lam now a marked and wretched exile. It has been said that I was to enter a foreign service, and I have occa sionally wretchedness everthoughtm ,i ll ofdo i doing soremain, solitude au d affectionsand re, and with my kindred and my country, and I d o n o t thi n k th at I t need be ashamed of owning that when a l one I h ave s h e d ninny a bitter tear for what has happe ne d, b u t w hi c h I cou l d but in my my hea not prevent; yet I have a great consolation in the assurance that my merciful and all-seeing Maker will hold me guiltless of the abominable and horrible crime which erring men, like myself, lay to my charge. " Most unfortunately I undertook, in 1839, to act as agent for Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett ; and that, with the view of saving the expenses necessarily attendant upon employing a legal agent (during his absence in India), and to serve him to the utmost of my ability. Among other things which I had to perform for him, was looking after two houses which be longed to his wife. The houses in question were let to a Mrs. Smith. of 37, Devonshire-place, Brighton, and she had taken one of them off Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett's hands before he sailed. It was occupied by a person who was considered an ineligible tenant. Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett was anxious to sell the house in question. About a year and a half after his departure for India, Mrs.. Smith wrote to inform me that her tenant had failed, that she could not get her rent, and had had a great deal oftrouble with him, and she begged at the same time that I would request Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett to forego his claim to 50/. of her rent, as she had taken the house to meet his views, and with the insolvent, a bad tenant, in it. As Mrs. Smith was an old tenant of Mrs. Fawcett's father, and as she assisted in endeavouring to ob tain a purchaser for the house, I considered myself justified in recommending that the 50/. alluded to should be deducted from the rent she had agreed to pay. In due time I received an answer from Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett t o the effect tint The Hon. and Rev. B. W. NOEL said he had had great cause to examine the principles and conduct of the Free Church before giving in his adhesion to the cause ; and he was happy to be able to state publicly that both met well his entire approval. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") In accordance with his views on this subject, he had to propose a resolution, which he trusted would be adopted by the meet ing:—" That this meeting, having heard the statements of the deputation, renews its expression of gratitude, for enabling se many ministers in Scotland to witness before the world this good confession of the supremacy of Christ and the spirituality of his Church, and learns with delight that such a large pro portion of the people of Scotland adhered to their faithful pastors, and their testimony for truth in a day of peculiar trial, and deeply sympathising in the privations to which ministers and people have been sebjected, and st the same time recog nising in the Free Church an instrumentality which promises, in the hand of the quickening Spirit, and in friendly co operation with other evangelical churches, to revive the religion of Scotland, besides largely aiding in the Christianisation of the world, this meeting resolves to render the Free Church its best assistance in providing places of worship for its adhering people."—(Cheers.) The resolution divided itself into four particulars. First, it recognised the justice of the principles upon which the free Church was founded; secondly, it expressed approval of the conduct of those who maintained these principles ; thirdly, it called upon them for sympathy with them in their sufferings to which their fidelity had exposed them ; and lastly it pointed to the consequences which might be expected to result from their principles, their conduct, and their sufferings. The Rev. Gentleman then went on to show how in each of these particulars the resolution was worthy of adoption by the meeting. He said he did not hesitate to declare his conviction that the prir.ciples of the Free Church were sound to the care. It appeared to him that these principles were resolvable into two ; the first being the principle of non-in trusion, the second that of the spiritual liberty of the Church. By non-intrusion he meant that no minister was to be forced upon a reluctant Christian congregation, but that the assent of the congregation must be obtained in order to the formation of the pastoral relation.—(Cheers.) That principle was one of the simplest common sense. In a relation so important, and upon which so much of the happiness of a village, town, or district depended, it was not reasonable that the people should be debarred the right of protesting against the introduction of an unspiritual and unconverted minister. The Rev. Gentleman then referred to a number of scriptural passages, for the purpose of showing that this principle was in accordance with the practice of the primitive Church. Hooker himself had assented to the principle that a minister was not to be intruded against the consent of the people; and both Catholics and Episcopalians in great numbers had recognised the same principle. In the Saxon, in the French Protestant, in the Helvetic, and in many other churches, the principle in question—the principle of the Free Church—had been distinctly recognised. Were not this the case, however, the ministers of the Scotch Church would still be worthy of respect, for maintaining what had been the principle of the Scotch Establishment from the very earliest period ?—( Cheers. But this principle could only be sustained by the aid of a second and larger principle—that of the spiritual liberty of the Church of Christ. This was, in substance, that the Church of Christ should in every land, and in all its branches, be at liberty, unrestrained by any stranger power, to fulfil all the commands of Christ. The ministers of the Church could not delegate to others, for any emolument, or on any ground, the exercise of that authority which had been entrusted to them alone. If a court of law were to determine the meaning of Christ's commands, then might the Church itself trample on his coin. mands in obedience to the law.—( Hear.) There was a great contrast between the claims of Papal ministers and those of the ministers of the Scotch Church. The Church of Rome had always linked itself with the civil power, and sought to load its arm with the thunderbolts of the State. The Church of Scotland disclaimed any suck aid. There might be danger where an Ec clesiastical Corporation separated from the laity were erecting a civil and spiritual despotism ; but there could be no danger where the very authority exercised would not be exercised without the consent of the people.—(Cheers.) The charge of Papal usurpation appeared to him wholly factitious, and the cause which needed such support must be feeble indeed.— Was there no check in the Church of Scotland which might have quieted the fears which had been entertained ?--( Hear, hear.) In reference to the manner in which these principles had been maintained, he demanded from the meeting admira tion for the courage and prudence which had been displayed. The Rey. Gentleman then referred at length to the Veto law and the dispute with respect to it. To the establishmet o f that law he attributed great benefit to the Seatch Church. He then proceeded to notice at some length the charge of vio lent language which bad been brought against Dr. Chalmers, whom he eulogised as one whose writing, wisdom, and bene volence were equally blended, and who would live in the inieds of posterity, as he now lived n the hearts of thous4u't. He contended that the seceders had clime the potilest act which the present ae bed wi t "'"! Scotch Establiainient fell, It would deserve to fall for deserting the principles which it ought to have maintained. But he thought a day was dawn ing upon Scotland which it was impossible to descr . l 4. If the seceding ministers remained true to theie principles the prospect afforded was 844 as (eight to 011 every christiari`heart with joy. There were in that country 500 Dissenting ripo or pq places 'et' I ?frtlngt;ls ttl Vrye eharch were course of erecticuti 41 the Ministers of these last were ne lopger argiopted in their movements, as they had fateerly been, but were missionaries to every part of Scot'a . o, Under these circumstances, it was not too much to ell'qct that parish after parish would be found testifying their proval of those principles yfhieh, mcii tied c9Pdeinnid..+- if I could sell the house, and if Mrs. Smith had paid le,r rent regularly, that I might forego his claim to 501. Through Mrs. Smith's exertions and my own, I had then received several offers for the house, but had rejected them, as I expected to get a higher price than had been offered. Soon after the time alluded to, I received Overtures upon account of a Miss Howard, who was desirous of buying the house, as she had previously lived in it. These otters were the most advantageous that I had obtained; and, after several interviews with Miss Howard's friends, I agreed to sell the house to her for 2,0001., b e i ng 2001. hove the price that I had authority to sell it for. When my power of attorney came to be examined by Miss Howard's agent, it appeared (having been writt en ou t b y Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett himself) that I was not empowered to sell the house ; but, in order to keep so eligible a buyer, I let the house t o h er f or a year for 1001., upon conditi on o f her purchasing it as soon as I could obtain the proper authority from China to sell it. I wrote without delay for a new power, and also stated what I had done. By return of the mail I received another power of attorney, which was also w r itt en b y Li eutenant-Colonel Fawcett, [i t which the legal gentlemen employed by both parties agreed in saying did not enable me to complete the sale ; but, being most anxious to retain so good an otter, I again let the house to Miss Howard for another year, upon the condition of her purchasing it for 2,0001., as soon as the sale could be effected, or upon Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett's return from China, which was expected in the course of last summer, and, to get the matter prepared by his arrival, I obtained the title-deeds from Messrs. Cox and Co., the army agents, in presence of Mrs. Fawcett, who had returned from Calcutta when her husband was about proceeding from thence to China. When the title-deeds were examined, some time in the beginning of last year, the legal agents in formed me that they were faulty. . I did everything I could to save unnecessary expenses being incurred, and stopped the affair from proceeding until Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett should arrive in England; but, previous to his arrival, I received a letter from Miss Howard, stating that the house was in such a dilapidated condition, that her friends advised her not to give 2,0001. for it ; and hoping that I would allow her 2001. to put it into a proper state of repair. I replied that I could not deviate from the agreement ; and I have now to observe that, when the agreement was duly signed, I in timated to Mrs. Smith that, as she had paid her rents, and as the house was considered to be sold, Lieutenant-Colonel ' Fawcett had let her off paying the 50/. formerly alluded to. I soon after received another letter from Miss Howard, to al low her 100/. to repair the house. I again replied that, how ever ready oil g et be t o do so Jr the house belonged to my self, I felt myself so strongly bound to protect Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett's interest in his absence, that I must insist upon the agreement being strictly adhered to, Soon after that answer the amount agreed upon, viz„ 2,000/., was placed in Miss Howard's a gen t' s h an d s by her, to complete the purchase,;but which had to be deferred until Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett's arrival. He came to London in the begin ning of last June; I immediately called upon him, the day after his arrival. I made him acquainted with the delay about the sale of the house, and said that it was then in his hands. I also informed him that I had been so fortunate as to have been principally instrumental in having saved a considerable sum for him through my exertions as his agent, and as a trustee far Mrs. Fawcett's father's property, a s .well as several other matters in which I had very effec tually served him. I requested that he would take an early opportunity of examining his baukora' account, to see the sums that 7 had paid to his credit, which he did in a few days. I also accompanied him i n t o t h e City, to examine so me accounts, which it was necessary for him to see, to un derstand fully all I land done oditiiee been i r n ez l u ii .ve s_ setr :i l absence. ile After having d d eli o n v e o s u o r , s lie s s e ai r ;l e t h h i n in my en a h as soon as I could, t o explain to hint what someta fortunate smallupon him were that I had paid to his credit. I did so, most unfortu nately, on the eV erring of the 26th o f l ast J une. I have now to mention that when I accompanied Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett into the City, that he hinted to me he had some suspicions upon his mind that were of a most unhappy nature. When I called upon him on the evening of the 29th ofJune he ap peared considerably excited. There was a person of the name of Romer i n tha tZtan, who was sent away as soon as I entered, although upon previous occasions he had remained. I think that I was expected; and from the accounts being at once entered upon, and fro stater circumstances, I believe that the gross insult m lt titflj was pet upon me afterwards, was premeditated; sums previously alluded t o wore soot} expiOlnd to his sat6ilictiou; but the 50/. that Xll rs. Smith ex_ allowed rbr the loss she had sustained from taking WarWiek.house with a bad tenant in it, \'s' 'made the subject upon which a quarrel was to be effected.

The nine or ten months that had elapsed since the breaking up of the connection between the Church of Scotland and the State, and the discussion the movement had since undergone, had ne cessarily deprived it of the freshness with which it then struck upon the mind. But to an audience like the present, the question must always have an inherent in terest. The event that happened ten months ago was striking enough to excite an interest Pirliti in the moo sluggish breast ; but now the interest was excited by hearing how that movement had been carried on, how it had been sustained, and how it was telling on the cause of true religion among the people of Scotland, and of the world at large, Brief as wal the space since their career hepia, it had putthg Ohnrch, both as to its constitution and prineiples, and the Q 011: duct of its adherents, to the most tryi n _ g tests. And, perhaps, at such a meeting as the pres ent, it might not be without its use to set before it what would suffice to DEFERRED ANNUITIES, The hest and moot varied provision for after-life hitherto offered— every 21. 12e. per annum, paid from the age of twenty, will, at sixty five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. leis. 6d., or 3491.

I told him that it was to fisult of Tula* that the powers of attorney that he had sent to me retire de= fective, or the title-deeds faulty'; that I had never Fliirged him a farthi ng f or the expenses I had been put to in his account, and I tried to get him off the subject of theZ4„htit. he kept perpetually and violently returning to it, and Winn g me as p o i ntedly as he could for all that was wronviboutVy the delay in the sale of the house ; the consciousness most zealous, fortunate, and unwearied exertions in hi -e-chlcjmaael= your made me doubt for a long thus if he could really m what he said; at last I observed, Well, Fawcett, this is a very different return from what I expected, for I have at tended to your interests as I never did to my own. I have served you as no other man could have clone, and you have frequently insinuated that I neg l ected your a ffairs or interest when you were absent.' He replied loudly, I did not, Sir.' I'answered, You did, or I understood you to do so. ' Ho violently answered, A flat contradiction I will bear from no man ;' he rang the bell (he was during the whole of the above time, or nearly so, walking hurriedly about the room), opened the door before the servant could answer to the bell, and called out in a rage, 'Open the door, and keep it open until Mr. Munro is turned out of the house.' I was so confounded by the unexpected and unnecessary violeece of the act, with the recklessness and ingratitude evinced by it, that I did not know what to do, or what to say; but I remained for a few minutes and then went away, nearly distracted with the cruel and gross insult put ur.on me bya person whom I had rendered such services t o ; an d supposing that I might be spurned for permitting it, I re turned and said, that if it had not been for the connexion that existed between us, and the unseemly nature of such a proceeding, I would bring him to account for it, or have re sented it upon the spot. He replied that as to the connexion, he wished never to hear of it again, and hoped that it would not prevent me from doing what I referred to. I then went away. Upon the following morning I took the opinion of an officer of acknowledged judgment, and upwards of thirty years' standing in the army, upon the unfortunate occur-, rence. He said, that during the course of his service he had never heard of se gross an outrage, and that, as a British officer upon full pay, I had no alternative whatever but what was usual, viz., an apology or a meeting. I then called upon Mr. Grant, and took him with me to consult with a friend of much experience in these unhappy affairs. His opinion entirely coincided with thst of my other friend; but lie said he would take the advice of a General officer about it, whose reply was, that no officer holding her Majesty's com mission could possibly exist under such an insult. In the course of the same day, I took the opinions of three other friends (all officers, or having been in the army) ; they all said, that however lamentable the proceeding was, I was com pelled to uphold the honour of the station I held in the service at the hazard of my life. I hoped that one word of regret might have been expressed for the wanton and gross insult put upon me ; but none would be given, and a meeting was proposed that day by Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, to which Mr. Grant objected. When I found, late in the evening of the 30th of June, that no amicable arrangement was likely to be come to, although I had left the affair entirely in the hands,of my seconds, I wrote a note, recommending my wife and children to the care of some friends ; and also a paper (which I signed in the presence of two witnesses), declaring that I most deeply deplored being obliged to go out with Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett., and that, from eircumstances.over which'l had no control, I was forced to do so. I most earnestly desired that some arrangement might be come to the follow ing morning, and I made three appeals to Mr. Grant upon the ground with that view, saying each time, Good God, Grant, can nothing be done to stop this dreadful affair from going on ?' but it appears lie was so obstinately and violently received the day before by Lieutenant -Colonel Fawcett, that he had no hope of coming to a friendly understanding. It would be both imprudent and improper for me to proceed further with the details of this most melancholy transaction ; but I think I have said enough to convince most fair thinking men that I am much more to be sympathised with than blamed for what. has happened. I now think that the quarrel was premeditated, and there were circumstances of so . incre dible a nature connected with it, that I cannot even allude to them ; but I will say that I have strong reasons to b e li eve that most diabolical means were used to produce a quarrel between my lamented and gallant connexion and myself, and to prevent a reconciliation ; I am certain that he would not have otherwise behaved to me as he did. "As I have been forced to enter upon the above most painful subject, I hope in allusion to my own humble qualifi cations that I may be excused for stating that a great many suggestions of mine have been introduced (through officers of high rank and standing in the service) into the cavalry re gulations, and that they have tended considerably to simplify the cavalry exercise; and I will also venture to add that, although I have not had the good fortune to have served my Queen and country in action, my father has distinguished himself by acts of great daring at most critical moments, and that he has received several.severe wounds iii the service of his country. " I also beg leave to state that I believe that every officer, non-commissioned officer, and trooper of the Royal Horse Guards feels for my misfortunes; and I also beg to refer you to Colonel Baillie, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county in which I was born and bred (Ross-shire), to inform you how my countrymen feel for me, and for their opinions as to my being capable of conceiving, much less perpetrating, the detestable and abominable crime with which I am charged.

Mr. Turner having asked whether Ministers intended to introduce any measure for the prevention of duelling, Sir Robert Peel stated his reasons for thinking that alterations of the law would not correct the evil, but that her Majesty's Government had, during the recess, availed themselves of an opportunity of exercising their influence and authority in discouraging the practice as for as they could. He then referred to the case of the late Colonel Fawcett— " The officer who lost his life was a man of great military reputation, and had distinguished himself in the service of his country; lie was unfortunately killed in a duel; and when his widow applied for that pension to which she would have been entitled had he lost his life in any other way than by the hand of his adversary, her Majesty's Government felt themselves compelled to refuse to grant the pension. With respect to the sur vivor, as that officer did not come forward after a lapse of time sufficient to allow public feeling to subside, and meet the charge upon a fair trial, he was superseded. The widow of the deceased officer having been refused the pension, and the survivor superseded, he thought her Majesty's Government had sufficiently evinced their willingness to exercise their legitimate power and in fluence against the practice of duelling." We see in this instance the eminent prudence of Sir Robert Peel, and how in the safest way he avails him self of an opportunity of exercising the influence and au thority of the Government for the discouragement of duelling, by cutting off a wid ow ' s p ens i on. If th punishment may seem in this case not to fall exactly on the right person, yet it is to be remarked that it falls on one who is unable to complain, or to be trou blesome, which is a great point in these matters. Who so good to begin with as a sufferer for duelling as a widow ? She had lost her husband by the bad practice, and let her lose her bread too, adds Sir Robert Peel. Fill up the cup of her affliction, so short of its measure, and add pecuniary distress to the sorrows of the bereaved. And the Prime Minister proclaims with pride that he had, during the recess, at his leisure, seized this opportunity of exercising the influence and autho rity of Government in discouraging duelling ? Why, more cold-blooded, more barbarous than the practice itself, is this punishment of it in the person of the suf ferer the most to be pitied. And ho imposes this cruel penalty? Sir Robert Peel, who has, we believe, fought a duel, and who, we all know, has shown great eagerness to fight when ever occasion has offered, and who has sent several challenges. At the head of the military administration, too, is tho Duke of Wellington, who went out w ith Lord Wincidl ,ea, mot,rho intit4 have a t ctred in the resolation of the taking away Mrs. Fast ea tt'6 pension. Another member of the Government, Sir H. bar dingo, is always ready to have recourse to the pistol ; and there was the Irish Attorney-General the other day, with his soul in arms and eager for the fray, whose explanation of the provocation which caused him to send a challenge was received with loud cheers by the men who cut off the widow's pension because her unfortunate husband had obeyed the same impulses. Lord Cardigan wounded a brother officer in a duel; he was tried for it in the House of Lords, acquitted of the notorious facts upon a quibble, complimented by the Chief Justice acting as Lord Steward, and cheered by the House of Legislators. But yet it is excellent to take away the pension of a widow whose husband has fallen in a duel. Had he re fused the challenge, h e would ha v e been di sgr aced in th.. service, and deprived of his commis.-ion; hating been killed, according to the so-called laws of honour, his widow is to be deprived of her pittance. Suppose that such men as Lord Cardigan and the Irish Attorney-General had been remove d from their respective appointments for the offence of sending oex fo er r ci t s h in e challenges, would not thi s h ave been a more effective a g re t p li r e es in ss fl i u on en o c f e danuedllauthority Governmentofildthjuet m de of taking away the widow's pension ? But these gentle men would not be quiet sufferers, and the widow was a safer victim —so unresisting, indeed, that her punish ment would not have been known but for the boast of the great man who inflicted it, and who prided himself on having exercised his i n fl uence an d authority so rigo— rously on this bruised reed. For our own parts, we cannot but think that punish ment should fall rather on the parties in this offence than on the greatest sufferers by it ; and we do not agree with Sir Robert Peel that the powers of the law could not be brought to bear on the pr ac ti ce. The law aims too high ; the criminal penalty will not be enforced ; but one of a more moderate nature would carry public feel ing with it. In France there is a civil remedy. A widow, a son, or daughter, may proceed for damages against the duellist who has deprived them of their supporter ; and this has been found to check duelling very materially amongst the people who were most addicted to it. A life insurance is void by death in a duel ; but if there were the remedy of damages for killing the prop of a family, the aim of a duellist would be very consi berably influenced by the consideration that, in levelling his pistol at his antagonist's head or heart, he was also. making a sad hole in his own pocket. If a man, before he s. nt a challenge, had to consider the cost of killing his adversary, it would be a wonder ful cooler to the animosities; and of all the bonds of peace devisable for angry men the most practically effective would be binding up the pocket of one in a common interest with the body of the other, for . folks who have no hea r t s in th e i r b reasts h ave one 1n their pockets, and many who would make up their minds to, bloodshed would shudder at the thought of bleeding for it in their own purses. The law, as it is, gives damages to a man who ha s suffered bodPy injury from another ; bum, if the injury ends in del.th, the family, who have lusttncir '-upp ur t c s r, have no redress but the barren ()N.. in N . criminal process amid what is i•; cod tb e ni c.scou rageent of duelling - of ii civic proceeding for damages . to the , iuffererai by the death of a husband or kinsman i n a, duel.—Ex aminer.
