Man is confessedly a most belligerent animal, and as long as he remains so works of the nature of the one before us—treating of military matters, and re cording the achievements of the great ones of the earth—must possess considerable interest to a large circle of readers. Nor would we wish it otherwise; for although we regard war as at best bat a necessary evil, still, until society is sufficiently advanced to abstain from settling questions of national dispute by a resoqiin.brute force, we would by no means seek t. repiesi - the . manly and martial spirit such works tend to foster and which indeed, animating men to deeds of seledevotion and hero:sin, invest the doings of war frooi • time to time with a sublimity which partially redeemsjheir horror. Much, therefore, as we may love pa4o-- d approve of Peace Societies in the abstract, - Wa . :;Winot say that we feel at all desirous to sea our country lay aside " the pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war," or cast away her sword at their bidding, especially while all our neighbours keep their's, ready sharpened, in their hands, and our brother Jonathan and Cousin France in particular, flourish their weapons every now and then in our faces, threatening to take ad vantage of any momentary weakness we may ex hibit. But the United Service Magazine does not treat exclusively of professional matters, either military or naval; and of the numerous publications of the day, which address themselves to the sympa thies and advocate the interests of a particular class, we know of none more entitlettla public approbation, or more worthy of general support, whether we regard the varied and general interest of its contents, or the excellent manner in which the subjects treated of are handled. The reader, whose taste takes the widest range, will find in its pages variety enough to satisfy him; and the great charm of all is, that w e do not have aventures at second-hand; we do not have Provisionally registered, pursuat to 7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 110.

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Comities Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gab'e River Trent, the line will proc eed through or near Bridgeton', Holme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich- and fertile Vale of Belvoir, to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near l'olkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be tween the Eastern ilounties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Carnbridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with some of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of loals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the , griculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside -ably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Nottingham. Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is !mown to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will he nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to ~ i sbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amisint to very near Sc. The Charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of ► (1. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciatiOn of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the meat favourable market. It frequently happens tha 'wing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer nd the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the ay by an economical and well arranged system of railway cons wimication." The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Retitle], for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge ;and Lincoln Rail waymust also be greatly benefited.

Instalment 11 per Share. ~ Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the ProvLional Direc tors ' , me considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee. air his whole right of patents, instead of confining themsolVes to' the United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc tms have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have agreed for the pqrchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this - ektended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence of which the amount Of call necessary to carry out the object and intention of the .Oompany will •be greatly diminished, and the pros pect of. immediate: return considerably increased. In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share is considered ample to Cover the expenses ot purchase. and to lay down a line of sufficient length to prove the Superiority of *Pi;brii's Atmospheric principle. • 'fire-arrangement of this undertaking; however. nceeSsarily involves many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares nmst• be considerably augmented, but-the shares will still be continued at the same amonnt, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the original applicants.

The prowinent advantages of this s3r.tem of Atmoipherie traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed u• on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every ten miles will be sufficient. incidents served up from the prolific imagination of a ready writer, but we have " moving accidents by flood and field," and " hair-breadth 'stapes th' imminent deadly breach," told by those who have actually ex perienced them and mingled in the scenes they describe, and told, too, in such a manner as to make it clear that the gallant actors in them can wield the pen at least as well as they can wield the sword. The volume now under our consideration, which is Part I. for the present year, opens with an article upon " The Social Wrongs of the Soldier ;" and, although, as might be expect d, in one or two places it manifests, perhaps, a little too much esprit du corps, it sets forth, temperately, and with much justice, the prejudices the soldier has to encounter. Some of the prejudices, however, of which the writer complains, arise from a knowledge of the sources from which the army is recruited. If the personel of the army could be raised, the soldier would rise proportionably in public esteem. Com plaint is justly made against the aristocratic nature of the army as an institution, and that Government evidently desires to make it so, instead of a popular institution. In this complaint we entirely agree with the writer. It is, after all, the "cold shade of aris ' tocracy," as General Napier well phrases it, that presses most heavily upon the soldier and his prospects. We then have a concise and interesting account of "The Theatre of War in the Caucasus," in which the writer takes a rapid survey of the operations of the Russians in that region, and leaves it no longer matter of surprise that the heroic mountaineers should have maintained so long and successful a struggle with their gigantic enemy. But it is impossible within our brief limits to enumerate even a tithe of the conterts of the volume before us, although we cannot refrain from referring, en passant, in terms of praise to the continuation of our friend Flexible Grummet's interesting "Reminiscences of a French Prison" and to a most graphic and spirited " Record of Indian Warfare," by Mr. Percy B. St. John. Perhaps the most interesting papers in the Magazine, however, at least in a professional point of view, are those upon "The Spirit of Military Institutions," by Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. - A work upon the art of war, by one of that brilliant group of warriors, the Marshals of the Empire, who, by the practical application of their principles, overran Europe with conquest, is alone sufficient to excite attention. These papers, moreover, are written in a popular and singularly clear and intelligible style, so much so that the most unprofessional reader may peruse them with interest, and to the military man we should say they are invaluable. In a word, this Magazine is one we can most cordially recommend, and considering its value as a book of reference, no library—certainly no military one—can be deemed complete without it. The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense iu working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,000/. par mile two)nains or lines can, on. this plan, be laid for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving or working in annual expense of two-thirds. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ; to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour. hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or otherwise. The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to th foot, may be seen at work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of the Company.

Be it so; yet we confess, that as far as our perception of right and wrong goes, we really do not understand the morality of the proceeding. The Minister who did not scruple to assent, a few years ago, to the plunder of one-fourth of the Irish clergyman's property, in order to give it L. the Irish landlord ; and who has no hesitation now in r,b bing, by Act of Parliament, the Protestant people of England and Scotland, that he may have wherewithal to endow permanently a Roman Catholic college in Ire land, need not, one would think, be very tender about applying the remaining funds of the Irish Church to any purpose which may seem to ho' desirable. He has not a shred of principle on which to rest his present obstinacy: for the principle, if partially conceded by the Whip, has been alto g ether given by himself. Morever, our readers need not trouble themselves to speculate largely about this matt• r. The Irish branch of the united Church is doomed.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS. —DRY GAS METERS . DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the testa six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolvvieli Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service,' Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other largo .establishments.. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry M eter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they wets effected. The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to. December 31, 1840, is as follows : Sum Time Sam added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly . neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.

The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the, finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trophabille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer month, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of Its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, g fined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas Is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed.

Morgan Battler has resumed his rambling remarks on Horace and others, with an interest fully equal to that which pervaded the first notice. This was only what might have been expected from a critic of taste and judgment ; for, of all the Latin poets, Horace furnishes the most animated descriptions of the human passions, and at the same time the most play ful fancy. He has nothing sour in his whole cha racter ; he praises wine, but wine only to modera tion ; he invokes his friends to enjoy themselves, only to render life more agreeable, by using the "goo.ls the gods provide," i not by abusing them ; and even in his Satires he points out the follies and vices of mankind with such a compassion for human weak ness, that he rarely gives offence by harshness, while at the same time he renders virtue beautiful and vice hateful. Some of the translations given in the pre sent notice show a knowledge of the author, and furnish favourable specimens of versification —among others, we may mention the translation of the Ode in which Horace recounts his cowardly flight from the field of Philippi. The three following verses will enable the classical reader to judge for himself:— Pompey, that wert the first my heart to share ? With whom full oft I've sped the lingering day, Quaffing bright wine, as in our tents we lay, With Syrian spikenard in our glistening hair. With thee I shared Philippi's fiery flight, My shield behind me left, which was not well, When all that brave array was broke, and fell In the vile dust full many a towering wight. But me, poor coward, swift Mercurius bore, Wrapp'd in a cloud, through all the hostile din, While war's tumultuous eddies, closing in, Swept thee away into the strife once more. " A Holiday Trip to Gravesend and Rochester " is an amusing story, embodying historical accounts of these places, very suitable for the enlightenment of cockneys. The notice of Thiers' partial " His tory of the Consulate and Empire of France" under Napoleon is just. While he is admitted to be a spirited writer, and his accounts of battles graphic and interesting, the selfish national vanity which he displays, and the injustice he does to every character in any way opposed to his hero, are not overlooked. There is, says the reviewer, " no subject on which M. Thiers displays more malevolence, and ignorance, and misrepresentation, than on the right of belli gerents to search neutral vessels," but he has not yet read the third volume, for is that the ex-Minister throws all his other faults as a historian into the shade. The merits and demerits of the work are thus summed up—" It is the production of a brilliant Bonaparte partizan, who would again set the world in a blaze, for what is most sillily called the glory of France." On the Maynooth question Regina is very melancholy and desponding ; her darling state coachman is driving to perdition, she will no longer travel with him, and has absolutely left the " con- cern." The growlings of Blackwood, and the awful forebodings of Fraser, prove, independent of our own conviction, that Peel is still an admirable driver, and that the old worn-out Tory party just require such a whip. Peel and the Irish Protestant Church, according to this far-seeing prophet, are alike doomed : " What are we togsin—what is Ireland to (r ain by increasing either the numbers or the condition of such priests as Maynooth has hitherto sent out, c ontinue to send out, so long as they shall be forced ? for N .re o c t r h u i depend for their subsistence afterwards upon recruits to yee- t volun tary offerings of their flocks s You muia still look to the peasant by civil sured army, and experience has not taught -„, "on peasant prie,thood, however highl • ed Government, to that a unless liberally provided for the 3 ica eit,ls any where, be trusted.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea. To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources, which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to tile course and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters Is of constant efficacy, above all when drunk at their source, for then the vil,y - ing air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise nutrition andessllnilation. Their great success has-been recognised in enlargements of the liver, iffaffections of the spleen, in hypo chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In gout and ail affections produced by derangement of the digestive functions, most happy results are derived from them. During the four yeirs which have elapsed since these springs first obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and new hotels stns private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite watering places. The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are pierced with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's • Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus. The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel lessee of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses any building hitherto erected at any point oti the banks of the Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms for ;the games of Trente et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a Cabinet for reading, in which are meet of the German, French, English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-Toom ; a Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asplialte, and a grand dining-room with a table-d'hOte, served a la Francaise, twice a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock. The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the grand Ball-room. Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other without interruption. The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,. is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the privilege of remaining open all the year, and the eontinuation of is tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so ciety from every quarter of Europe. The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne, Mentz and Frankfort, Is performed in 44 hours. The distance from Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mail coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour. DOLMAN'S MAGAZINE. The third Number of this periodical opens with an article entitled " The Genesis o' Christendom, or the Beginning of the Middle Ages," the first of a Reties of sketches designed to illastrate the history of that obscure period. A more unpromising subject for the pages of a magazine could herdly have been selected, for whatever records of the age remain present little else than an uninterrupted scene of barbarity, anarchy, and bloodshed. At the same time, it must be admitted that the task, though not a pleasing, is a most useful one, and the author has rendered the article palatable by quotations from our beit modern historians. This number likewise contains the biography of that arch impostor, Joseph Balsam°, better known as Count Cagliostro, whose extraordi nary impostures were for many years the wonder of Europe. The nature, extent, and success. of his lint postures at this day seem incredible. " Fashion ,nd fanaticism combined to elevate Cagliostro to a degree of general celebrity and estimation rarely attained ; by even illustrious men. Portraits of him adorned fatlf, rings, and snuff-boxes, medals—boxes and medals were cast of him—and beneath his bust were to be read the words Le devin Cagliostro.' " The vaga bond was born at Palermo, in 1743, and first gained notoriety by pretending to a knowledge of the " black art." lie subsequently visited most of the European cities, which he laid under contribution, Fnd his ad• herents comprised persons of every class, even the hig' est." 'faking the secrets of feettnannry for a grand w3rl; whereon to erect a gorgeous superstruc ture of mystery and imposture, he became tl.e apostle of a new sect or degree, to which he gave the name of the Egyptian rite, and of which, pretending to be the grand cobble, or master, he suc ceeded in establishing lodges over all Europe." He renewed all the absurdities of the middle ages, and declared his knowledge of the philosopher's stone, and to the possession of a powder by which youth could be successfully maintained, and death successfully kept at bay. But the grand instrument of fraud was the masonic system. Cagliostro was initiated at Frankfort-on-the-Maine into the mysteries of the German illuminati, which is thus described : " The candidate is conducted through a gloomy cor ridor into an enormous hall, of which the ro of, walls, and floors are alike covered with black cloth, picked nut with flames and snakes. Three sepulchral lamps at in tervals emit a dying glare, which enables him to distin guish piles of human remains, and a sort of altar entirely formed of skeletons. Here he is abandoned tostis re flections for eight consecutive hours, at the expiration of which, enter phantoms, clad in shrouds, who, after wan dering for a time in dead silence, disappear through trap-doors, from the invisible opening of which t xhale , the most pestiferous odours. The candidate passes twenty thur hours in that darksome vault ; his energies are en feebbd by a long fast ; he beholds three cups filled with greenish beverage ; he e-says to drink, but turns with disgust away. At length arrive two seeming ministers of y death. They bind the pallid brow of the candidate with a ribbon steeped in blood, place in his hands a metal crucifix, and hang certain amulets round his neck. He is then stripped, his clothes are thrown on a funeral pile, and crosses are traced with blood upon his body. In this state of suffering and humiliation, he is ap proached by five spectral figures, armed with huge sabres and enveloped in bloody draperies. Their fees are veiled—they fall to the ground, and remain for an hour es if absorbed in prayer. At the expiration a that time plaintive accents are heard. The pile is fired. The garments of the candidate are con-uzied thereon. A colossal figure is seen to advancr., and the tire pros trate men nppcar to fall into the most terrible convtd. sions. A trembling voice now articulates the oath which is to be taken by the candidate. He is made bv it to sacar, under the most awful penalties, that he will renounce every natural tie, forswear allegiance to all human authority, and respect l'aqua tofiana, the deadliest of all poisons, as the grandest medium ever discovered for ridding the earth of the enemies of truth. The obligation having been taken, a candelabrum, with :even lighted tapers of black wax, is placed in froLt cr the candidate. lie is thn plunged in a batt Li blorAl and made to swallow a draught of it. A cold most seizes him ; from a state of delirious frenzy he falls into insensibi' ity. . . The cereuiony is over, and a warm bath and a repast comfosed of various roots gradually restore him to his senses." Such are the hideous rites which the besotted votaries of superstition .have practised even in the eighteenth century. • Cagliostro, after a run - ot. twenty year=, at length fell into the hands of the Roman Inquisitors, and died in prison in 1795. The remaining articles we have not space to ob serve upon. As a fair specimen of the poetry of this number, we select the following " On a Wild Flower rom the Grave of Burns" : S this wild flowret clad on the bard's 10w;37 grave, Where its tribu'e of fragrance it modestly gave— 'Tis the symbol of him o'er whose relics it bloomed, The songster of nature, by nature entombed. Like this flowret, he brew all uncultur'd and - wild— Untutor'd by man, he was Nature's own child ; And the dear fragrant sweets of his own teeraint; srml Breath'd gently around, without guide or centrol. The sweet scent of the plant has now faded away, But the songs of the Minstrel of Scotland shall stay ; And fancy shall hasten its homage to pour O'er the grave vi here once blossom'd this wild desert flower. o A tt endAut number, ser iou s there se raeu slid s r ea n. subjectsm a T g H a z E i u ;e B R ITISH ii ns ch i eflythe pred se MG e% o Th u i s s interesting article on " Modern Hagiology," exposing the pro v e e r r or the of s a t e h r o e s ci e Commentators r wh o o wn seek add t i o tio im n; " Correspondence" includes letters on " Prophecy," the " Clergy and the Middle Classes," "Vestiges of Creation," and various other subjects. But the mo-t important topic, the topic of the day, it; of course Maynooth; the remarks on this subject are worthy of attention, characterised as they are by extreme mode ration and forbearance. As a firm supporter of the Church of England, the writer approves of the May nooth grant, on the ground that education is ever the forerunner of truth. We recommend the following remarks to the attention of those who fear that the Established Church will suffer from the change : " We believe that this measure will serve the Church, will tend to its stability and ultimate increase, and what it may not be wrong to consider even more important than this great object, that it will tend to the promotion of truth and real religion among the Irish pe o pl e i n general. Give the Church in Ireland gentlemen anti scholars, and men who are sincerely pious in their own religious creed —give it such men as these for its anta gonists, and the truth will find its own way, and pre vail over every opposition. The truth fears not learn-. ing, nor morality, nor piety; it breathes more freely when it has such opponents to contend against; it finds itself at a disadvantage when opposition is clothed in the garb of ignorance, and vulgarity, and scurrilous ridicule. and political secularity and violence. Against inch an tagonists it knows not how to aim its weapons; and be sides this—make the Roman Catholic clergy scholars and theologians, and you at once force upwards the tone and standard of theological attainment in the Church; divines who appeared learned beside an almost illiterate and half-civilised priesthood, must dig deeper into the foundations of their own theology, when they are to stand side by side with scholars and gentlemen. The more learning the Church of Rome brings against tha doctrine of our Reformation, the more will it bring to light, and detect the shallowness of its own pretensions, and the feeble sophistry of its defences.
