Hers follows a minute of the ratification of Prussia, courl.ed in the same terms as the one given above. There is a complete split among the Tories. The friends of the 3-larquess of BUCKINGHAM Jay, that in case of a change in the Alinistry, he shall be Premier, and Lord CHANDOS Chancellor of tee Exchequer; while those who compose the WELLINGTON party, which, however, have diminished greatly in number, will not pledge them selves to support any Administration without his Grace - h at the head. The Duke of lirctriNGHAM has prepared a plan of Reform; hut he wi!l 6nd the public by no means ci;:led to accept 1;:s TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—lt has surprised me greatly that, while so nm.ly disputes have arisen respecting Church property, no per lon has ever called for a definition of the term Church How the clergy can exclude the congregation from heir]; component portions of the Church, I am at a loss to under stand ; but, to let in the laity, would be equivalent to making them participators in the Church revenues, which the clergy have contrived to appropriate to themselves ex cltu.ively ; for even the pauper portion of the laity are not allowed a single mite out of those revenues. If the clergy consider themselves as Trustees only for the congregation at large, then must their claim be an illegal one throughout ; because Trustees are holders fur other persons only, and never for themselves. I wish that some one of your readers would favour us with ticlear definition of this much-misunderstood word, alma. I ; k rbe term once cleat ly defined and agree .l upon by dis putants, the appropriation of Irish tithes; Church lands, &c. would he speedily settled, and thereby avoid all those angry debates which are sure to occur whenever Church matters are discussed, either in Parliament, or elsewhere. I remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Mach ridicule has been thrown upon the threats made to withheld the taxes in the event of ae Reform Bill tieing !cit. The-Tories Jo not attempt to deny that some disturbances may take place : but they predict the speedy suppression of them, at the expense of only a few broken heads. and those chi, fly cf Ftadit,ils and Whigs. But, Mr. Editor, I conceive such Tory prophets to be ex tremely short-sighted, as they seem to overlook altogether the other difficulties which will of necessity accAnpany the non-payment of taxes. Without the usual supply to the Exchequer, how can the ensuing quarterly dividends be paid? The Bank will be unable to make good the deficiency, as it will want all its means to guard against a run upon the establishment. Hoarding of cash against an evil hour will become com mon ; that will create a demand for money, and thereby diminish the quantity in circulation : and a run upon private bankers will cause one upon the great City Dame. The latter will then have to think of matters more serious than the mere conditions upon which the Charter shall he renewed. In such an emergency, would Ministers venture upon a second suspension of cash-payments? I doubt it. Ne vertheless, some decisive steps would be required, or our whole financial :abric (including the national debt) would crumble to ruin. I wish that the Tories would favour us with remedies with which they intend to meet such a state of things: which, indeed, they ought to do; because, if not sufficient, there may yet be time to devise better ones. Also, they are bound to have considered the re medies which may be necessary, because the evils re quiring tbem will he the consequences of their own conduct by extinguishing the Bill offered to them. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, BRITANNICUS. The seat of the Noble Premier, at Eas Shea), in Surrey, is about twelve miles distant from his Lordship's residence in Downing-strcet, and was probably selected by his Lordship for his rural abode on account of its contiguity to the metropolis. Since the accession of Earl GREY to office he has not visited his patrimonial estate at Howick, in Northumberland, where, fur so many years, his Lordship lived in the bosom of his family. The Noble Earl Las just completed his 68th year. MUSKET-BALLS.—Marshal SA XE computed that, in a battle, only one ball of 85 takes elf. et. Others, that only one in 40 strikes, and not more than one in 400 is fatal. At the battle of Tournay, in Flanders, fought on the 22d of May, 1794, it is calculated that 236 musket-shots were expended in disabling each soldkr whO suffered. Yesterday the house of Lord NORBURY was robbed of property to a very large amount:—about three dozen of spoons, silver jugs, cups, and ewers, tea and coffee pots, salt-cellars and egg-tys, were carried off. It is supposed the robbery was effected by some person connected with the house, who must have entered by the front area, as there was no sign of the depredators having had recourse to force to rffcct their entrance. —Dublin Freeman's Journal. The Gazette of last night contains an Order in Council, empowering the chairman of the Birmingham Boatd of Health to make an application to some Justice of the Peace in the district to order the parish officers to pay a sum of 4601. for the expense of the Board, such"sum having teen previously denied by a Vestry. The Gazette contains another Order, empowering the Edinburgh Board of Health to apply to the chief Magistrate of the city to convene a meeting of the magistrates and police commis. sioners, at which the sum of 4,0001. is to be demanded fur the expenses of cholera hospitals, &c. SHREWSBURY AND HOLYHEAD-ROAD.- Light vehicles are to be substituted for the present mail_ coacher. .By this project, more than one hour will be waved in the time of the arrival of the London mail in Shrewsbury; and this saving of time will form an addi tional ground for resisting the removal of the line of tra velling through Shrewsbury to Ireland.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. LEAP EXTRORDINARY.—On the 14th cur rent, a writer from Earlston, on his way home from Galashiels, evidently overcome by the effects of the jolly god, began to put forth his wrath on hi 4 bore, when near Melrose Bridge; the animal, no doubt, having become restiff on account of the unmerited punishment, leaped right over the parapet wall of the bridge, a height of 47 feet; and, singular to relate, both man and beast escaped without farther injury than the rider having one of his arms broken.— Caledonian Mercury. Most of the orchards in this neighbourhood are full of bud, and have every prospect of a fine blossom, which it is expected will speedily affect the price of cider, although some of the early trees have been touched by the late frost.—Sherborne Journal. REASONING FROM ANALOGY.—Last week, during a pretty smart hail shower, a child about two years of age was looking out at a window, seemingly absorbed in wonderment at the patter of the hail against the glass. Observing the hailstones accumulate upon the sill of the window, the infant, clapping its hands with joy, exclaimed, " Mamma, its raining sweeties !"—Scotsman. TRADE.—PAISLEY.—The working people about this town have been pretty well employed the!e some months back, but complaints have been very general among the manufacturers. There has been but a very slight demand for shawls of all kinds, and the other branches of manufactures have been equally dull. Things are get • ting worse rather, and it is Marl; feared that a good m7my of the working people will be thrown out of employment ere long.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. On Easter Sunday, the newly bought bull of a gentleman farmer (Mr. MENLOVE, of Hisland), near Oswesbury, heaved an honest and industrious servant a considerabfe height in the air.—Shretesbury Chronicle. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquisition was taken yesterday evening at the Three Nuns Inn, A!dgate, before Mr. PAYNE, on viecv of the body of MARY ANN READ, a very fine young woman, 19 years of nit., who committed suicide from fear of being discharged from her place. A piece of paper wrapped round a cross bun was found in her box, on which was written—" Oh take this bun from me ; I have been happy, but those days are over and gone, and pain and sorrow have come upon me. I must leave this world of care. MARY ANN READ, April 30." Verdict—" Temporary insanity." A somewhat novel case lately came before the Bench of Magistrates at Aylesbury. The occupier of a pasture left it at Michaelmas, and it remained without a tenant until Lady-day. The question wv, who was to pay the For -rates upon it for the time it was unoccupied. Mr. TINDAL considered the land liable; if not, per.ons might shut up their pastures during the winter and evad • the rates. A gentleman present said, if that was legal, he would shut up his pasture la nd at Mich ael m a s, and let it at Ladv-day. It was ultimately agreed that a case should be drawn up and submitted to a barrister.—Essex Herald. CLERICAL ADVERTISEMENT.—The fol lowing characteristic advertisement appeared in a notorious Tory publication :—" A choice collection of original MS. Sermons, which have not been recently used, the anchor having fur some time retired from his sacred duties ; also a superior capital double-barrel gun, with detonating p 'tent lucks, by Rumford, and duplicate common lucks, fitted in a mahogany case. They will be sold a great ha: - - gain, and left for inspection," &c. WESTERLY WINDS IN THE ATLANTIC.- We are enfficirnily familiar in England with the fact of westerly winds prevailing in the Atlantic; but it may be interesting to state a nautical fact, established b) ample experience, showing the degree in which this circuit' stance operates practically. From a list of the passage. made by the New York monthly packets across the At years, it is sh own , t h at t h e !antic, during a period of eia Average length of the voyage from Liverpool to Arntrirei, that is towards the west, is forty days r'While the average length of the homeward passage, or that from west to ea -t, is only twenty-three day.. And it may fix these facts more strongly on the recollection to mention, that the passage-money from England to America (against the pre ealent wind) is five guineas more than that paid on th return voyage; the outward voyage costing thirty-five, die homeward thirty guin-r.s.—Capt. B. Hell's Frail. mods. It is said that Mrs. JAMESON'S " Memoirs of Female Sovereigns" was recommended a short time since to the perusal of a young and illustrious Personage, r oe whom it was accordingly ordered. This curious and eloquent work of biography has, we understand, been much applauded in the highest quarters. The heir presumptive to the immense estates of the Earl of DUDLEY is the Rev. HUMBLE WARD, a gentleman far advanced in life. He has, however, two sons, who have been for some time residing with the Earl of DUDL EY d ur i ng t h e i r co ll ege vacat i ons. Th e E ar ld om of Dudley will expire with the death of the present Earl, on failure of direct issue ; but his Lordship's other title's de scend on the male heir in general, and, consequently, would devolve upon the 11,V. HITNIET,E WA RD and his issue.._ Wolverhampton Chronicle. O'CONNELL.—Considerable curiosity has Wren excited by the sudden and most unexpected de parture of Mr. O'CoxwELL for London, which took place yesterday, and, as it is said, at a few minutes' n o ti ce . Some have it that his apprehensions of the cholera was the immediate cause of his flight—for such in truth it may be term,d ; while others contend for that finding the annuity a failure, and the brewery turning out a most unlucky speculation, the leader is gone off to cast himself at the feet of Lord GREY. That Mr. O'entorru, should suddenly throw up his briefs in the naidcLe of Term, and proceed to London, when Parliament is not sitting, does, we admit, furnish matter of gossip for the Quidnuncs.— Dublin Mail. Died, on Sunday, the 15th, at Sous!amyl', in the 69th year of his age, the Rev. EnwanD VA 1.2 Y, RD., Rector of Thwaite and Vicar of Suuth Welchem. The vicarat?e of South Walsham is in the gift of the Al dermen and Commons of Norwich. Mr. VALPY was presented to the vicarage by the Bishop, to whom it lapsed in consequence of the corporation not have agreed on the object of their choke within the limited time at the last vacanry. DEATH OF THE EARL or THANET.—We regret to announce the death of this Nobleman, who ex- pired at his seat, Hoathfield-place, in Kent, on Friday last. He had an attack of apoplexy while attending Divine Ser vice at Hoathfield Church ; arnl soon after he reached his mansion he breathed his last. The Noble Lord was in the 62d year of his age, being born on the 10th of September, 1770, and succeeded his brother SACKYILLE in 1825. The title descends to the Hon. HENRY TUETON, the next brother of the deceased, who has resided for some years in France. The late Earl was never married ; and sieve his accession to the Era Wool he has lived a retired live. He had been, for some months past, in a feeble state of health; and, not king able to undergo the fatigue of a journey to London, he transmitted his proxy to Earl GREY, in fivour of the second reading of the Reform Bill. His Lordship was Baron TUFTON, of Tufton, and a Baronet, Ilere:litary Sheriff of Westmorland, and Lord of Skipton in Craven. THE WEST INDIA QUESTION, &C.—The following are among the Papers which will appear in the forthcoming number of the New Monthly Magazine, edited by Mr. BULWEit :—The Parliamentary Recess— the West India Question—the New Indication by LEIGH HUNT—May, a Poem, by the same writer—Hereditary Honours, a Tale—Asmodens at Large—Lord MuL GRAVE'S " Contrast"—the Utilitarians—Retrospective Criticism—Translations from GOETHE, by Mrs. HEMANS —the Earthquake, a Narrative by JUNIUS REDIVIVUI— by Dr. UwiNs. NEVER BUY ANY THING AT THE DOOR.— An old bachelor, who resides in Acre-lane, Brixton, in order to prevent itinerant traders annoying him by knock ing at his door to dispn'e of their wares, had affixed to his knocker a label to this effect The inhabitant of this house never buys any thing at the door—hawkers be ware!" He was dreadfully annoyed a few days ago by a loud knocking at his parlour window ; and on looking out he saw two fellows with clothes' lines, mats, and pegs to sell. Throwing up the sash in a pretty considerable rage, he accosted them thus :—" Can you read ?" " Yes, master," said the hawker. " Then don't you see a notice affixed to my knocker that I never buy any thing at the door ?" " To be sure we do ; so we thought we would make bold and try to do a little business at the 'parlour window." The fellow's wit pacified the old bachelor, who straightway made a purchase. Immediately afterwards he sent for a painter, and had the following addition made to his " announcement :"—" Nor at the window either." The extraordinary scene at the Opera, de veloped in the Earl of IlluLGßAves new novel " The Con trast," is said to have actually occurred in a certain Countess's box a few years ago. Lady GAYLAND and Lady CASTLETON are understood to be by no means fic titious characters. LEARNED IGNORANCE.—In a Chinese geographical work, which is among the literary " trea sures" lately brought home by Professor NEUMANN, who has been travelling and collecting in the celestial empire, at the expense of the Prussian Government, the Prussian monarchy is despatched with a single stroke of the pen in these words, " Prussia is a village in Russia." The eru dite philosophers of the Crimea, HUMBOLDT tells us, were scarcely further advanced in the knowledge of their own contemporaries, for they spoke of him as of one whose brains had become a granary of wisdom " by virtue of an imperial ukase." Ilere is aristocracy at its zenith ! A prodigious Switzerland sheep, exhibited at Lincoln April Fair, caused an extraordinary sensation amongst the farmers, few of whom ever dreamed of seeing a sheep of the enormous weight of 402:bs. standing live feet in height, and being seven feet in length. This sheep was y,laned on the mountains of Switzerland, and is now three years old. It has been publicly exhibited to the most distinguished naturalists in Europe, and at the Tuileries in Paris, before Abe Royal F.mily of France. It has produced annually 351bs. of wool, and is carried in a convenient caravan to fairs, as an extraordinary curiosity. WEYNIOUTII.—The scraplings of a certain dub have at last been divided amongst some hungry cre ditors in this county ; but their cravings are far from being satisfied, as the dividend paid during the last week did not average more than from 14s. to 16s. in the pound. Nothing can exceed the consternation depicted on their countenances, when they were summoned to Dorchester, to receive this bonus ; still there was consolation for many of them. "No fault to find with your bills," was tickled in their ears, " but our means are exhausted, and you must be satisfied."—Sherborne Journal. The King of PRUSSIA has declared to the Polish refugees in his States that he will treat them like Prtusians. A like blessing awaits those who are going to Russia—to lie there treated as Cossacks.—Paris Figaro. SWIMMING STONE.—In a copper nine near Redruth, in Cornwall, a curious substance, called the swimming stone, is found. It consists of right-lined la mime, as thin as paper, which intersect one another in all directions, leaving, however, unequal cavities between them. In consequence of this cellular texture, the stone is so light that it swims in water. , . gi O n m y re t urn into F rance and S pa i n, in 1813," said an officer in the French service, " I was cu rious to see in what manner the .Woniteur treated the battle of Busaeo—that melancholy battle which proved that the once magnificent Lead of 111Assr.NA was gone. We lost 8,000 men on that occasion, in a succession of fruitless attacks on a position which might have been—as it was afterwards—turned almost without firing a shot. How do you think the .3.foniteur described it ?—as an a f fair which cost tine quinzaine (fifteen men) killed or wounded !" Sir JAMES CAMPBELL, iri his Memoirs, gives an account of his introduction to the Pandemonium, a dinner club held at a house in Ciarges-street, Piccadilly— " I had previously been propsed (by Mr. FooTE) and ballotted for ; I went alone. In the arm-chair next the fire I found a fat gentleman seated, whom I had never seen before. St,nding by his side in close conversation was a dapper little man, with whom it seemed to me as if I had already been acquainted. In other parts of the room there were several little groups of individuals, evidently waiting with impatience for the announcement of dinner. Among diesel discovered a person to whom I could addre.s myself as having formerly been named to ; but him I found so deeply immersed in some cogitation of his own, that it was not without a good deal of difficulty I could induce him to present me to the stout gentleman in the chair, and one or two others whose acquaintance I was desirous of ma ki ng . The person I addressed was OLIVER GOLD• smtur, the most abstract man in Europe. He who first Attracted my attention I found to be the great moralist of the age, the author of " The Rambler." In return for my Lest law, he gruffly nodded to me, and continued some observations of * ludicrous nature which he was tuakit g in a tone of mock solemnity to the little man by his si,le, who proved to he no other than Davno Ga natcx. Tlo Roscius received me with an air of cordiality and pulite flees, which was quite delightful to me. At length we ad journed to dinner. The conversation, to my great relief, became general, even before the cloth was removed, It seemed to be a favourite object with several of the mem bers to bring out the peculiar vein of Dr. GOLDSMITH. About this period he hail produced the " Good Natunei Man," and other successful comedies. Mr. FOOTE ob• served to him that be wondered to see GOLDSMITH writing such stuff as these, after immortal zing his name by pieces so inimitable as " The Traveller," and " The Deserted Village." " Why, Master FOOTE," said GOLDSMITH. with his rich Irish brogue, in reply, "my fine verses you tale of would never produce me a beefsteak and a can of porter; but since I have written nonsense, as you call it, for your bare boards, I can afford to live like a gentlem in." In the order of the value of property, the fol lowing six of the counties of England and Wales rank foremost :—Middlesex, York, Lanc aster, Somerset, Lin coln, Devon ; and the following six are in that respect of the least importance, viz.: —Hertford, Bedford, Hunting. don, Westmorland, Monmouth, Rutland. The value of the property assessed, compared with the numbers of the people, is a good :est of the state of agriculture in a given district. Thus, if Bedfordshire, with a population of 95,400 is assessed at only 364,277/. real property, and a Scotch county (Berwickshire), with only one-third of the population of Bedfordehite, is assessed at considerably more than two-thittls of real property, the inference is that there is some impetfection in the state of things in Bed fordshire. The contrast between the English and Scotch agricultural counties will he shown hereafter, tinder the head of Scotland.—Penny Magazine. An order has been received at this Custom house front the Board, in consequence of a memorial from the general Ship-owners' Society, directing the officers of customs not to interfere with ships carrying less than fifty passengers to North America, and in all cases the necessity of carrying a surgeon throughout the voyage is rescinded, and a strict ex imination into the health of the passengers is directed to be made by a medical superintendent previous to sailing. This indicates a decided disposition on the part of Government to afford every possible facility and encour agement to emigration.— Plymouth Journal. We regret to record the loss of the Neired, of this port, a fine brig of consid,rable burden, and not above five or six years afloat. The Neired sailed for America more than a f,rtnight ago, but was detained by low tides and contrary winds at the Carse. On Monday she entered Wigtown-bay, called for passengers, and on Tuesday weighed anchor, with a complement of 24 men. The wind at this time was high and the sea rough, and the Neired, in tacking, unfortunately missed stays, and though her anchors were paid out, and every exertion made, she was ultimately thrown on the rocks at Egerness Point, where she now lies a total wreck. The crew and passengers were safely landed, but many of the latter have test their all in the shape of clothes, implements, and pro .. visions.—Dunzfries Courier. WISBECH, APRIL 25.—A work of some magnitude has been undertaken by a small party of bank ers in this -4*(llmm - hood, which has been a matter of speculation for above half a century, and has excited a considerable degree of curiosity. During the awful storm, known as the New Year's Gale, in 1781, a brig called the Nelly, said to have been laden with coals and grind ing -stones, which was lying on the Lincolnshire side of Suton Wash, was driven from her moorings, and after beating about for some time she sunk, and like King JOHN'S baggage, was soon buried in the quicksands, leav ing only her masts visible, one of which was shortly after taken away, and the other being by law obliged to be left standing, has ever since been known by the name of the Old Wreck's Mast. In consequence of the Nene Outfall-cut,those once dangerous sands are become dry laud, and the expectation of finding a rich prize has induced the individuals above alluded to to undertake the work in question. They ascertained that her depth below the surface was 14 feet to her decks, which they expect to reach to-morrow night. The euriou, are eagerly looking for some relic of the unhappy monarch's last sorrow.— Cambridge Chronicle. TALES OF THE EARLY AGES.—The first five centuries of the Christian )Era have in these Tales been taken by Mr. HORACE Smirrx for historical and ro m intic illustration. The first Story introduces us to the Emperor NERO, and the Historian Josernus, and for its heroine aJewish maiden, MARIASINE, a fitting companion to Sir WALTER Scores REBECCA---in the second we have the presence of the philosophic Fabulist, /EsoP, and of LUCIAN, the Satirist ; in the third Tale, the scene is shif ted to the forests, tells, and morasses of Northern Germany, and a singular dwarf is among the prominent characters.— the fourth discourses eloquently of ATHANASIUS, the Arians, and the Council of Nice, and places before us the gorgeous city of Memphis and the Pyramids—and the fifth Tale, which relates to the period of twenty years after the Roman secession from Britain, as for its locale the coast of Kent, and among its various incidents an in cursion of the Picts, and the invasion by the Saxons under HENGIST and HORSA. The numerous admirers of Mr. LISTER'S tale, entitled "Arlington," have been excessively diverted by the description of the, contretemps, which beset Lady Caawrourt's private theatricals, for which such splendid arrangements had been made. May not this incident of the story be traced to a recent occurrence? And will not many living individuals of rank see their own doings re- flected as in a mirror ? SHAM SHAM-FIGHT IN THE PHCENIX PA AK. —Yesterday being the anniver,ary of St. George's day, thousands of our fellow-citizens repaired to the Park in anticipation of the customary review of the troops ; and at half past one o'clock, the time at which the army was on the ground, the fifteen acres presented a splend►d di'play of equipage, equestrians, and pedestrians. In about half an hour afterwards, Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN, ac companied by his daughter, youngest SOP, and aid de•c:amp, reached the scene of action, when lo ! instead of the usual discharge of artillery and brilliant running fire of the line, fur the full apace of two hours nothing took place, but the (to us) senseless galloping of two regiments of cavalry from the Testimonial to the Phoenix, and from the Phenix to the Testimonial back again, in which, if we except the imposing evolutions of a couple of dozen of fat grenadiers, floundering in a wet ditch, consiteed the entire celebration of St. George's day. The troops were equipped in heavy marching order. Frnm the circumstance of their not be ing furnished with blank cartridge, and only feinting to fire, the whole parade formed but a source of ridicule for the disappointed crowd. We need hardly mention that equipages and all the respectable part of the assemblage withdrew in a short time after the " sham" commenced. Dublin I•'reeman's Journal, Tuesday. Somebody has stolen a pair of boots from the editor of the New York Standard. The editor says, " the boots aforesaid were bought in Third-street, and we had not on Saturday a second pair. They were whole soled at time of porch -Ise, but half soled at time of theft, like the half-soukd creature who took them. He did not buy them, nor did we give them away, nor were they sold or half sold to him. They were right and left, but now neither of them is left; but we hwe been wronged out of them, and it was an unrighteous act that has left us to make this bootless complaint."—Columbian Sentinel. A GENTLEMAN FROM LON Do2•7.—Early in the afternoon of one day last week, a gentleman of very respectable appearance presented himself at the toll-gate of Waterloo-bridge (London), and wished to pass over; but the gate-keeper having no idea of " free admissions,"im mediately demanded the usual toll (a penny), when the gentleman, recollecting himself, thrust his band into his pocket, hat lo?—there were "no effects ;" he rummaged and searched, but could find no money, no, not even one halfpenny. Well, what was to he done; the gate-keeper was inexorable, so the gentleman having a gnat desire to get across the water was fain to leave his silver pencil case, which no sooner touched the hands of the other, than, as by the touch of a magician's wand, the gates flew open almost of their own accord, and no more was said about the toll. The next account we receive of our hero is, that lie jumped on the Item stagecoach for Brighton. The journey passed off as journeys usually do, in chatting, scolding, and grumbling. Arrived at length in Brighton, coachee comes up with " Your fare, Sir, if you please ?" The gentleman again found himself without means, and took a ling from one of his fingers and presented it to the driver. The gentleman from London then immediately proceeded towards the Clarence HQtel, and, like any other reasonable mortal, ordered a bed and a good supper. All was considered quite right and proper; the gentleman from Landon ate, drank, and slept, as people usually &- Next morning, however, while be was sitting snug and comfortable over his bacon and eggs, a person who hail arrived by the mail during the night cane in and asked if there was a gentleman front London in the house. Hav ing discovered the object of his pursuit, he made known that the unfortunate gentleman was a partner iu a respect able commercial firm in London, and that he had lately been in a very deranged state of mind.

MR IRVING.. At eleven o'clock yesterday the Presbytery of Lon'! ° met pursuant to adj mrnment, to proceed with the 110° 1 ' of the case of the Rev. Mr. Irving. The MOD ERATOR , b e f ore commenc i ng prayers, said b he felt it his duty, in consequence of the unseemly hitt ruption which he experienced yesterday, to notify that", had given orde rs t o an o ffi cer of the peace, to take li!ti custody any peison who should presume to interfere W I . the Presbytery in the exercise of their just rights and P re vileges. . - Prayers were then said, and whether the intimationti ' given by the Rev. Moderator had the effect of controlii the working of the spirit in Mr. Taplin, or some °the' cause induced him to abstain from disturbing the serv o as he had done on the first dty of their meeting, we td glad to say that the solemnity of this sacred duty W not on the present occasion broken in upon by any to coming exhibition. At the conclusion of prayers, it was debated by a tt , Presbytery, wh e ther it w o uld no t b e a d v i sa bl e to h ear witnesses, as those who had hitherto given evidence we', of a particular character, inasmuch as they all believed ta t the unknown tongue, spoken at Mr. Irving's chapel, ura g i l manifestation of the Holy Gho s t ; b u t ulna Mr. BA stating that it was his understanding that he was to allowed to commence his defence that morning, the P bytery declined calling further evidence. Mr. Invieto then addressed the Court in his d e fen The Rev. Gentleman's speech occupied nearly five hilt in the delivery; and was remarkable for the tin weari energy and the air of wild enthusiasm with which it spoken. lie began by calling to the min lof the Pr bytery that John the Baptist had proclaimed aloud coming of the Son of God in these words, "There come One after me who is preferred before me, whose oh latchet I am not worthy to unloose. I baptize with watt but He shall baptize with the Holy Ghost." Th e soli description of the Son of God was given by all the fo° Evangelists, and it was manifest that the eternal at deemed it of great consequence that his Son should t known by the name of " hint that baptizes with the WI Ghost." And when the Lord Jesus rose from the del and spoke to his disciples concerning the kingdom of Go he opened their understandings that they might understat the Scriptures, and be told them that they might wait f 4 him in Jerusalem, and they. should he baptized with ti Holy Ghost not many days hence. It behoved the Presb! tery seriously to consider this tnatter, for it was for the nett of Christ, as the baptizer with the Holy Ghost, that he 0 1 now called before that Court—for that name which CO considered so sacred and important, as to command .10) the Baptist to proclaim his son in it ; it was, he said, for th,l name, even for the name of Jesus, the b a pti zer w i t h t! Holy Ghost, that he stood before that Court, and beforet present, called in question that day. It h a d pl ease d G .() , in his great grace, and in answer to the prayers of l' * " people, faithfully crying unto him by d a y an d b y n i g ht,' make manifest to the Church of which he was the pase the baptism with the Holy Ghost, by the signs of s peak in tongues and prophesying ; and having tried thd signs by the test of the Scriptures, and by his own consciod nets, he believed them to be the manifestations of e Holy Spirit ; and believing so, he had not dared to 1 9 ! them to silence, but had ordered there to be heard, ae cor, ing, as he would show the Presbytery, to the word of Go and in nothing contrary to the standards of the Chur t of Scotland. Yet, because he would not put his bet upon them, and suppress them against his own conseieo ' 4 —against the conscience of must of his peppie r —earl', the 'word of God, and aga i nst t h e name of t h e I.Ar Jesus,—for this reason he had been called in question fore them. This was a matter of high importance and' great concern, and he prayed the Lord to gave him grt, C to sustain the burden of so great a cause ; and to give htr wisdom, that he might utter nothing to he a stumbliOg block to the truth, or to give needless offence to any . c his enemies ; and that finally he might so order his d'a course as the Lord would have done, standing in his pia°, The Rev. Gentleman then said, that, i n or d er to l a y tf case properly before the Court, he should divide his till course into the following beads:--Ist, as he meant justify the thing which be had done, and to show the grail° on which lie had done it, it would be needful for him to eh° the thing in the word of God, which, he believed, God be, given unto him and hi s flo c k ; n ex t, it wou ld b e need fur him to show that the thing which they had receiee, was the very thing contained in the word of God, and he out to the hope and expectation of every baptized ma° 3'lly, it would he needful for him to show how he ordered it, as a minister of Christ; and. how the way j i which he had ordered it was according to the word of Ge and in nothing contrary to the standards of the. Church ,' Scotland ; and, finally, to speak a little concerning parties before the Court,—to point out how they stood, relation to each other, and then to l eave th e case to i v judgment of the Pre , bytery, and to the judgment of Of, The rev. gentleman a ga i n quote d t h e words of Sr. Jolt respecting the baptism with the Holy Ghost ; and refert t the Presbyt e ry t o th e I st c h apter o f the Acts o f t; Apostles, wherein it was written that Jesus commands , the disciples not to depart from J erusa l em , b ut wait 'ff. the promise of the Father, " whi c h," sa i t h he, "ye lit t heard of me; for John truly baptized with water, but 4 shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many d.l hence." This promise, it appeareeLfrom the 241 deg of the Acts, was accomplished on the day of Pentee 4 l' On that day the apostl es rece i ve d t h e b apt i sm w i t h Holy Ghost, which Jesus promised them when he 4 0 go to his Father; and the way in which the baptism 91 1 : manifested was by speaking " with o th er t ongues , as t Spirit gave them utterance." And Peter on t i : 1 0 occasion, addres s ing the p eo pl e , sa id unto the ,o , , " Repent, and h e b a pti ze d, every one )of in the name Jesus Christ, for the retnisaiori . „ sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Ghost." It was itnportant that all present should bet in mind these words. They had been baptized for the 0 , mission, and it was their privilege to receive the 1 1; Ghost, unless P e ter h e ld ou t a f a l se h ope an d expec tate!, Every baptized person was privileged, and ought to rece l o the gift of the Holy Ghost : " For the promise is ti tt o you and your children, and to all that are afar off, even many as the Lord our God shall call ;" being thus tug 0 featly not limited to generation or to time. It wa g , ol baptism with the Holy Ghost, to whi c h th e p ro phet J e also all u d e d, wh e n he s a id, " it s h a ll come to pass ar t .( ) ward, that.

Mr. Irving then stated, that it was not Or many years after the commencement of his duties O lo ri minister of Christ i n th e N at i ona l S cotc h Church, ye! the Holy Spirit manifested it , elf through unknown tong, r i At first it was on;y i n p r i vate d evot i ons t h at t h e SP i t o seized the persons wh om it h a d c h osen an d ma de ti'd speak ; but by degrees, as they approached nearer 1 4 nearer to God, this gift was p e rf ec t e d i n them, and th began to speak in the presence of others. Such 117 the state of things, be felt th a t th e d u ty of trying whe:4 these were false and dec e itful manif es tations or others was imposed on him by the 2d chapter of Revelations► d i which it was written that the angel of the Churc li bil Ephesus was reproved fur suffering " that woman JeP oe / which calleth herself prophetess to teach and seduce servants to commit fornica.ion, and to ea t thi ngs sacriv„ o rl unto idols." The fi rs t thi ng w hi c h h e did was to rijd these persons prophesy before him, and every persoll heard conducted hiniself,as far as he knew, with godl iti to f in his private conduct, and he therefore dared not to.; him. Mr. Irving then proceeded to contend, that alloolo persons to speak publicly in the church in an trolllcel tongue.avas not contrary to th e const i tution of the Sc-mi Church, or of any Protestant Church ; but, even if it Ite been, he would have yielded no obedience to therm lieving, as he did, that the utterances to which h e ilt alluded were manifestations of the .Holy Ghost.
