W. CROKER. TO MESSRS. BROWE'LL AND CO. • London, Nov. 7, 1822. GENTLEMEN, —On my Passage. from Shields to Jamaica,' the latter end of last year, in the Brig Temple, I bent a new Foresail, principally made of Canvas prepared by your Anti-Mildew Process, and a new Main-topsail and Jib, of the same maker, but nnprePared.— Our voyage was severe, and the Sails hare suffered much in consequence.—The Foresail has worn free of Mildew, except in two parts, where the Canvas was unprepared, bat the •Main-topsail and Jib are mach injured by the Mildew. The Foresail is more pliable, furls easier, and appareutt , chier. much quicker than the other Sails wade at the same titue, - so, that I ant fully satisfied your Process is a complete preserva tive wherever it is used, and possesses other useful proper ties ; and I should wish it always to be used in any Vessel where I may have the command. JOHN -WALKER, Master. PARSONS' HOOPING COUGH POWDERS. ENV Diseases have been found more perplex ll ing than the Hooping Cough, and the Medicines usually administered for this alarming Complaint having proved - totally ineffectual, Mr. PARSONS is induced, -after several years-experience of its efficacy, to offer his Medicine to the Public as a safe and certain Remedy. The Patient will soon be relieved from that convillsireaf. fection termed Hooping; and by persevering strictly accord ing to the Directions. two or three Packets have almost inva riably been found sufficient to effect a certain Cure. It niay be administered with perfect safety to Children of the most tender age, as well as to those at a more advanced period. Prepared by Mr. Parsons, Surgeon, West Mailing, Kent, and sold in Packets, at 2s. 9d each, by Messrs. Butler, Cho mists, No, 4, Cheapside, St. Paul's, and 220, Regent-street, (near the Argyle Rooms), London; 20, Waterloo•plaCe, Edinburgh ; and 34, Sackrille-strcet, Dublin, and by the principal Medicine Venders throtighontthe United Kingdom.. N.B. Be careful to ask for Parsons'. Hooping Cough Pow ders, and to observe the Government Stamp has the words " Butler, 4, Cheapside," engraved on it. THE TAUE BRITON. ADVERTISEMENT. Confidence misplaced, and betrayed, to a very considerable extent, has incapacitated the Editor, Proprietor, Printer, and Publisher of The True Briton Newspaper (who has for some months been all in one) from continuing to render those services to his country, of which it never stood in greater need, and reaping, in return, that harvest which, after a most arduous struggle, had almost ripened for the sickle. One of those for whom he was largely bound holds a lucintive office under the Crown, and is now spending its proceeds in France, while the Editor's numerous family suffers, and has long suffered, countless priVations, known only within itsclf; and per haps the writer may be consigned to the cheerless prospect of pri son-walls ; which however, to a heart in its right place, holds out less actual misery than all the luxuries of Gallic profligacy, obtained by a crime, which has involved so many innocents in its consequences. Had the Editor done his duty to his family and to himself, notwithstanding such accumulated losses by fire; water, shipwreck, and failures, as are very rare at least, if not unprecedented, he should even now have been enabled to carry on the True Briton to a pecuniary profit, second to no Paper of its class, and to the promotion of a Constitutional spirit of patriotic independence which could not be other than advan tageous to the public weal. By the downfall of the True Briton, the Agricultural, the Protestant —in a word, the Constitutional Interest, has lost a zealous partisan, who, however, waits only means again to en ter the lists. The Editor hopes and believes that his exertions for the welfare of his country, and for the inviolability of the Constitution, have not been wholly ineffectual. Should he happily rise from the ruins by which he is at this moment over whelmed, he may again hope, at the same time to renew his la bours, and his acquaintance with his present friends and pa trons. He especially feels that he may conscientiously exult in the course he has undeviatingly pursued in regard to the Na tional System of Education, and to the Protestant Establish ment. Should this leave-taking, however, prove not only a long, but a last farewell, he may, yet, with equal humilty and confidence, notwithstanding the villainous aspersions which continue to assail him, say, " I have fought the goodjight—l have finished my course—l HAVE KEPT TILE FAITn." JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALE, Editor, Proprietor, Printer,• and Publisher, of The fate TRUE BRITON, Daily Evening Newspaper, 89, Strand,. Nov. 11,1821. Mount Vesuvius, says a letter from Naples, dated October 6 22, has just burst oat in one of the grandest eruptions almost ever beheld. The burning lava is running fast down the mountain in a very broad and threatening stream. • THE LINEN BOARD.—A. full Board of the Go vernors was held at the Linen Hall on Tuesday last, .at which it was patriotically resolved to grant a sum of BQO/. to be laid out in bounties and encouragements for the promotion of the Linen Manufacture in the South of Ireland. This countenance and assistance will come seasonably in support of the efforts now making in that quarter 'to find employment for the people, by the establishment of the Linen and Hempen fabrics.—( Dublin Freeman's Journal, Nov. 9.) MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Friday even ing last, a girl who had the care of an infitnt at Ripley, in Surrey, gave an alarm that a mart had taken the child out of her arms and cut its throat. She described his person particularly, and stated that he said if he could not revenge himself oil the mother, he would on the child. The poor little infant appeared to be dangerously wounded in the neck. Pursuit was instantly made in every direction without success ; and suspicion being excited as to this story, the girl, on fresh interro gations, confessed the whole to be a fabrication, and that she had accidentally let the child fall on a broken glass bottle, which inflicted the wound. The child is not dead. We have since leained that the infamous girl has confessed she attempted to cut its throat with a knife, which was found in the next garden.—(Morning Paper.) ROYAL NAVY, &c. PORTSMOUTH, Nor. 9.—The Clinker gun-brig, Lieut. Eager, and the Pehet, Lieut. Curry, arrived on Tuesday, from St. John's, Newfoundland, and brought 'home the sur viving officers, and remainder of the crew, of his Majesty's late sloop Drake. These brigs are ordered to be paid off and re commissioned for the purpose of returning to the Newfound land station, for the .protection of the fisheries. The Clinker, in her passage, fell in with a brig ofi.the 30th Oct. in lat. 49. ,N. long. 13. W. newly painted, light yellow streak close up, with a projecting woman figure head. She was about five feet above the surfaCe of the water, and appeared to be about 160 tons burthen, deeply laden, supposed with timber, and no per son on board. Her stern was stove iry so that no name could be diseovered.—The Morgiana; 18-guti sloop, Capt. C. Knight, arrived ore - Wednesday from the Coaseof Africa, -the Island of Ascension, and America, lest ffOrn Trinidad, whence she sailed the 30th of Sept. The Pyramus frigate, Capt. F. New combe, GB. ; Icarus, 10 gun sloop, - Captain Crole ; and the Pheasant, 20 gun ship, Captain Claverini, were in the Gulph of Paria ; the latter had brought Captin Sabine there, who was employed in making scientific observations, at the con-' elusion of which the ship was intended to sail for .Jamaica, New York, and England. The Suyinam bad been at Trini dad and sailed for Jamaica the 22d of September. The Bus tard; Captain Rich, was off Demerara ; the Esk, 20 gun sloop, Captain, A. Lee, 'Warner, Wes eepected daily froni Bermuda, Where she had been turelit : all the ships were healthy. The Pyramus was to leave Trinidad the 10th October, for Orem da, •St. Vincent, Antigua, and Batbadoes, after which she would receive on board Sir Henry White, the Governor, and convey him to St.. Lucie, and the • other islands under his command, on - .a - tour of ,inspection. The Maras was to proceed to : Tortola and Portb Rico. The Motgiana is in ordered to be paid, Off,, and laid up in ordinary. Lieute nants F. G. Hetehinson and G. Fraser, came home passengers in her, invalided. The Success transport, Lieutenant Church, agent, arrived -on Wednesday from Cork, with the depot of the. 43d Regiment, to •be landed in the Isle of Wight.— , —Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Hamilton, Bart.,- has struck his nag on hOard the Valorous, 'Captaiu ames Murray, anti that ship is under refit at Spithead.—The Russian frigate Kruizer, Captain Lazaroff, now at -Spitliead, is bound to Rio Janeiro and the North Pacific Ocean, to visit the Russian settlements in that qualter e - and to make discoveries. She is accompanied by a Russian 'Government store ship.—Thursday arrived the Ranger, 28 guns, Captain ?. Fisher, froth St. John's, New foundland, whence she sailed the 25th silt. The Pandora, Captain Muni, sailed for .England the day before, but was to call at Cadiz.—Yestertlay sailed the Thracian, 18 gun sloop, Captain Roberts, which has been fitted for the West India sta tion, for Falmouth, where she is to wait her final orders and ,dispatches. • PLY:kw - writ, -Nov. 7.—Tt is at length definitively settled that the Admiralty are to take charge of the - West India and American Packets ; but with respect t 6 their removal to this port, Lord Liverpool says, that " no arrabgement will be made' with respect tothe removal of the packets, which does not rest exclusivelY upOn the advantage of the public service, combined with a dile regard to economy.'" The final arrangements of the Dock-yards ate now completed ; ,no more discharges of men are to take plaCe. The shipwrihts are allowed to earn one shilling • a claymore than they have cone for the last two ykars. Capt. T, Wohige, of the Privet' (senior Officer on the Coast of Africa), and Capt. Geo.

The trade with the Americans, no doubt, will be of great advantage to the planters, as it will lower the price of provisions hitt the merchants would rather have had the prohibition remain." COURT Illeareiede—On Thursday a Court Martial was, held at Portsmouth, on board his Majesty's ship Albion, of which Captain J. B. Hay was President, for, the purpose' of trying Mr. Thomas Eiger, the senior surviving Officer of his Majesty's late'ship Drake, and the ship's company, for the loss of that sloop, on the 23d of June lait, on the passage 'from Halifax to, Newfoundland. The Court agreed that the loss of the Drake was caused' by her striking on a rock on the eastern head of St. Shotts on the island of Newfoundland ; that there 'was too much confidence put in the reckoning on board her ;- that soundings ought to have been resort ed td in approaChing the land, but that 'no orders were issued for that purpose ; and that having run nearly her diStance, she was not hauled up in sufficient time to, clear the land ; to which circumstances, and to the currents and in-draughts into the Bay of St.. Mary's, the loss Of the said ship is to. be attributed; but that no blame attached to the, surviving officers and company of the said sloop for their conduct upon that occasion; but that they appear to have con ducted themselves with zeal, energy, and discipline ; that the conduct of W. Lennard, the Captain of the forecastle, was highly meritorious ; and by . the extraordinary exertion of Mr. James Turner, the boatswain, the lives of the surviving officers land company were preserved ; and the Court did adjudge the the said surviving officers and company to be acquitted. [Franz.* Hampshire Telegraph.l The following is an extract from a letter which we have re ceived from an Officer at the Cape of Good Hope, dated " Sim()les BAY, AUG. 21.—The weather, since the recent tempestuous gales, has been remarkably fine. (The Cygnet, 16, Captain Bennett, sailed on the 3d instant, for the Mau ritius, with specie ; and .the Baracouta, 16, Captain Cut field, for Algoa Bay, to commence surveying. The Leven, 28, Captain F. Owen, is waiting the refitting of her ten der, the Cockburn, when'they will join the Baracouta. The Heron, 18, Capt. Hamner, will sail to-morrow, to look for and ascertain the situation of some shoalfi called the Telemaque Shoals, in the vicinity of Cape L'Agullias. The Andromache, 38, Commodore Nourse, is expected to sail in about a month, for thelllauritius, where the Menai, 26, Capt. Moresby, still remains." A letter of a still mote recent date from the Cape of Good Hope reached us this morning.—lt is dated—" Port Elizabeth, Algioa Bay, 20th August," and says,—" The Baracoutta arrived here on the 16th, and will said on the 23d for the Rivers in the neighbourhood. The Expedition this ship and the Leven is engaged in, has excited considerable interest in this country, and much valuable information is expected to be obtained, particularly to the Eastward, of this settlement. The Settlers here are generally dissatisfied with their situations; the failure of the crops the last two years has greatly distressed them. Englishmen bear with a very ill grace being without bread, or rather, 1 should say, a scarcity. Bisset and Rubidge (Lieutenants in the Navy) with their wives and families, are living near Graham's Town, about 100 miles up the coun t r y. With'respect to the prOspects of the Settlers, nothing -but in dustry and a determination to encounter whatever diffictilties may occur, are likely to accomplish their hopes. However, coopers, carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths, would find pro fitable employment. —There are here - about fifteen Deal men, who have established a whale fishery, but so far in the season that they have been very unfortunate, not having killed a single fish : they are much respected. A Dutch proprietor of a fishery has taken six fish already. Yesterday we - had a delightful day of it, in witnessing thiboats in pursuit Of the whales ; one of them was obliged to cut from a fish, as the whale went under the Baracouta's bottom. The Officers of the Army here are very civil and attentive_to their brothers in service ; they lend us horses, dogs, and guns. This letter goes from this to Cap e Town by post ; they make a Mail at the Cape almost every week." Last week the High Sherilfof llants, now, jun., Esq.) on approaching London, was robbed of Jiro perty to the amount of nearly 100/. from the boot b;hind his carriage, by some villains, who are too expert and successful at this sort of robbery, and, what makes it the more remarkable, t he carriage was an open barouche, containing four gentl emen, nd travelling at a great rate. toe , NUMBER 9428 , C r 9r. .....s Od 25s °4 , 28 , v ",i ....-5 0 1 .....5 0° ess ° 4 05 01 are. vbel us hel Jait cr peer obel 45 6d , 20s'" n 44 3 )?, Is a 5C' a q° 35 3 .. 5 6 .5 a 30 O ije 4 PE t : l f t t7 3l6' 4 early s --, eo .‘2 6 ' Li d sac Oa 1 041 1 e 5 oa 13' ° 1 5 . 5 0 4 asb:4 05 Of " „ 5 oa 0 5' g i 5 9 - 13 3 r ; t ioc 55 ! 0 3V I), 5'5 4 "2 5 eij 'at 3 05; ef , c r 54 Y '2 49 ° ' 1 331 f ii . he3t 3 ,10 i P d a li .. ., 9 7a .!,.‘ o a e,' 3 3f 5 O tt , Od 3 ;§ Od Od 3 '2 61 3 pd th' l"t'oos, ft": 11; o t reand ce reer iri ct uII, ~r i or l a ros e s`) idev' • d et hic 11 Li,on 0, 3 . 1i sufvf:A. theni trim be ts pO L t o 4°5 ;0 4 ol ' OS 0 196 Lo 3 31 I r~hno e r, t, 11°rs c .age in his . c Bon die Su7i 112 - 1.2:4, 'l' Y 'l' E S. We . resume with great pleasure our notice of the pamphlet, written by the Reverend Mr. CAMPBELL, Rector of: Wallasey, dheshire„ in an answer to one, in which the Rights of Tithes were attacked by all the fallacious arguments that faction and irreligion could advance, but which are effectually refuted by Mr. CAMPBELL, with candour, judgment, and learning. "As the pages of the Remarks' " (continues the Rev. Au thor in reply to the work on the consumption of wealth by the Clergy)," are crowded with quotations from the writings and speeches of renegade Spanish priests, Portuguese journalists, Sicilian .economists, theoretical Emperors, and English Re publicans, I will beg permission to •enlist on my side a Whig of no small celebrity, and claim the weight of his venerable name and powerful arguments in behalf of a cause tbo likely to suffer by the insignificance and weakness of my own. 0 church property, Mr. Burke, speaking as the representative of die English nation, says, we maintain that some part of the wealth of the country is as usefully employed in, contributing to the modest splendour of religion and the dignity of its mi nisters, as in fomenting the luxury and swelling the pride of laymen ; that we attach-our gentry to religion, and liberalize churchmen, by enabling them to live upon an equality with the leading characters of the country; that the teachers of religion will have but little influence with aristocratic wealth, and much less so with new-born greatness, if they appear in a manner no way assorted to those with whom they must associate, and whom occasionally they are bound to censure and reprove, in a coun try where even voluntary poverty has lost its credit, and where constrained mediocrity would breed contempt. For these reasons,' says he, we will not banish religion, like something we are ashamed to shew, to obscure municipalities and rustic villages; no, we will have her to exalt- her mitred front in ' Courts and Parliaments, we will have her mixed throughout' the whole mass of life, and blended with all the classes of so . - ciety. 'When the Commonwealth has once established the estates of the church as property, it can consistently hear nothing of the more or the less ; too much or too little is treason against property. What evil can arise while the Supreme authority has the full superintendence over .it to 4 prevent any species of abUse, and whenever it notably de- 1 viates to give it a :direction agreeable to .the purposes of its , institution ? In England most of us conceive that it is envy • and-malignity towards those who. are often the beginners of their own fortune, and- not a love of the self-denial and inorti- tication of the ancient church, that makes some men look askance at the distinctions, and honours, and, revenues, which, taken from no person, are set 'apart for virtue We shall believe these reformers to be then honest enthu siasts, not as we now think them cheats and deceivers, when we see them throwing their own goods into common, and sub ' mitting their own persons to the austere discipline of the early church.' " Thus says Burke, and Kneed not fear to place his name in opposition to any one cited in the Remarks, or be ashamed of those arguments in which he maintains the sacredness of private property. The primitive property-of the Clergy was supported by the primitive purity of the laity; and when the believers had all things in corm - non, there was but little need of a settled main tenance for the pastors ; but whin poverty and zeal began to go out of fashion, and God had withdrawn his miraculous in fluence from the church, leavingit thenceforth to the less assist ed co-operation of matr, it was soon found necessary to supply the defect of voluntary oblations by legal provisions. The English clergyman is, and may ever remain so, an English gentleman ; once turn bins into a pensioner at -2501- - or 3501. a-year, and this is lost. It is the inequality which is complained of, thiLlottery of the church, that induces so many to qualify themselves for orders by so lohg, laborious, and expensive an education. Do but level these•preferments,' says Bentley,' and they will soon become as level in their learning ; for in. , stead of the flower of English youth, you will only have the refuse sent to your academics, ani those too cramped and crippled in their studies for the want of aim and emulation.— ' A few shining dignities in our -church, prebends, deaneries, and bishopricks, are the pious fraud that indtices and-decoys 4 the parents to risk their child's •fortune in it.'* God forbid , that I should recommend the meanness and wicltedness of turning religion into a trade, or propose the ministry merely as a means of getting a livelihood. The great object of it should be the communication of religious - knowledge, and the hn provement of mankind. But constituted as the.world is, I know that it must at the same time be considered as a means of getting a maintenance in the honest and faithful discharge of it ; and' that all idea of gratuitous service or inadequate pro vision is theoretical and absurd, even when sincere ; but is much worse than absurd when, as is too, frqUently the case, -it' proceeds from the cold-blooded intention of overturning religion itself by the destruction of an established church ; and-from. the hostility which some must always feel against those who are paid to support the cause of religious truth, and who, to the confusion of their adversaries, have hitherto proved themselves worthy of their hire. " The English church is, like her king and her nobility, in dependent, and God grant she may ever remain so, without havin g to trust to the precariousboutty oflukewarm professors, or the fluctuating value of a pecuniary tax. By means of the - lay advowsons her Clergy are neither dependent on the mitre or the crown ; by the inequality of her livings, they are suited to all classes of society ; while the prospect of distant emoluments induces many to devote their talents to a service which other. wise they must decline. Were its income degraded to the pro posed level, its offices would then devotee upon men of meaner abilities, rank and education, to whom these reduced dnolu ments would be an object ; and what in process of time would be the state of religion in this wealthy and fastidious country they . may easily enough divine, who witness the supercilious indifference with which the poorer Clergy are re garded,. by those who are most disposed to grudge the church her honours and her wealth • and however much we might thereby be made to resemble the Clergy of Scotland, Geneva, France, or Rome, I do not think we should, gain much in manners, or the laity in morals, by the change. It is the cant of the present day to complain of the secular habits of the English Clergy, and to uphold the necessity of excluding them from all civil employments ; their Bishops from Parliament, and themselves from every office but the cure of souls. For a good reason, no doubt, as the spoliation of their property would be much more easily effected. But this is the only benefit that could arise from it. Ido not mean .to assert, God forbid I should, that the Clergy should be men of pleasure, or men of the world a that they should be Bath 'loungers, or London rakes. Abate the nuisance of pluralities, and keep them in their parishes, and prevent them, when there, from becoming 'mere farni6rs or mere squires; but do not think you serve the cause of morals or religion by excluding them from secular affairs. •_ _ " It has always been considered as one of the greatest bless ings of this country to have a class of country Gentlemen of moderate properties, rce;dent upon their estates, and the gene ral residence of such small proprietors has been looked upon as one of the chief causes of our prosperity, and upon this prin ciple I say that, it would be subversive of the best interests of the state to suppress (for, according to this plan, it would be a suppression) a whole class of men who have at east a right to be considered as country Gentlemen ; and who, as far as re sidence and general utility are concerned, are, even in a secular view, as valuable a body often as any in the kingdom. The Clergy,• generally speaking, (and I need not here advert to the dishonourable exceptions) combine the useful qualities of the private Gentleman and the parish Priest. -- They fill ,all such civil offices as their local knowledge peculiarly qualifies them for, and at the same time they are able, and I hopegenerally not unwilling, to follow the footsteps of their blessed Master in the proper work of an Evangelist, to preaCh the Gospel, and superintend the education of the poor—to alleviate the mental agonies of struggling penitents—to smooth the bed of death, and administer the consolations of religion to incurable and otherwise hopeless infirmity. Their civil empl6yrrients, and consequent intercourse with the world free them from sectarian bigotry and vulgar enthusiasm, from the monkish and ascetic habits of some Christian Ministers, while their religious duties prevent theM from becoming mere men of the world. If the are disposed to do good, their means of doing so are two-fold. If they fail in this they ought to be made. to do, it ; and there " P.lileleutherus Lipsier.sis. PRICE SEVENPENCE: is no want of laws, if duly executed, to compel the perform ance of it. More than this, for the sake of my present argu-- ment, Ido not ask you to grant me-1 do not ask you to acknowledge that there are amongst them not unfrequent instances, of men who do no less honour to humanity than to the pure and perfect religion they profess ; who show them, selves, by fervent faith and unostentatious zeal, to be the genuine disciples of our Lord and Saviour; that their writings have served, beyond that of any other set of men, to check the mad career of blasphemy and atheism, and that in spite of their secular habits, here has not been a more learned body in the world. "As to the non-residence of wealthy pluralists, and the shamefullyinadequate salaries of stipendiary curates, a remedy has been applied, certainly not before it was wanted, and pos sibly jot altogether commensurate with the evil it is intended to correct. Thereaders of the Remarks should know, that by the last Residence Act a gradation of salaries, the lowest of which is 801., if the living shall be so much, and varying in amount according to the value and population of the parish, is peremptorily enjoined upon all future incumbents; and thus the wealthy pluralists are forced to provide handsomely for their curates, while the small livings are, in the case of non residence; not worth holding, so that such an abuse as is men tioned, in p. 17 of the Remarks, will not again be permitted to exist. " Judge then of the effects which this plan for transferring the property of the Clergy to the Laity would produce. The rriOney which now must generally, and ought always. ' -to he spent in the parishes, might be carried off to London, Bath, Paris, Rome, or Naples. The blessing which is derived from a resident Clergy deriving income froni land, and spending it where it is drawn, would be lost; and that equal and immee . diate diffusion which ensues, and which is so highly beneficial to the productive classes, and consequently to the state, would be gone for the sake - of swelling the pride, and fomenting the' luxury of lay , fundholders, squires, and peers. What benefit does Scotland derive from the poverty of her Clergy ? Her ' rents are high ; her landlords are worse off than ours ; her labourers are driven to emigration ; and the income spent in her is diminished by almost every shilling taken from the Clergy.' The landed proprietors profit by the abolition of tithe, and spend that profit perhaps in England, It is calcu lated by the author. of the. Letter to the present Lord Mary borough in 1810, that if the Scotch Clergy had better incomes, and from tithe, more than 500,0001. would be annually spent in Scotland, and in the places froin which it is drawn ; while the fanner, from whose „land the income was derived, would be benefited by having it spent in his neighbourhood, instead of its being taken to London or Edinburgh. Of the Highlands, Col. Daoid Stewart says—' Owing to the want of resident'pro ' prietors, the inhabitants are left without a man of talent, or of sufficient influence from rank or education, to settle the most ordinary disputes, or capable of acting as a instice of the peace, or of signing those certificates and affidavits- which the law requires. In extensive districts, containing two, three, and four thousand persons each, not more than one or two, or perhaps none, of the ancient rank of gentle ' men tacksmen remain: these few are the only individuals capable of acting as justices of the peace; and pensioners and others, who wish to make affidavits, must travel thirty ' or forty miles for that purpose. " The want of magistrates, however, is a trifling grievance in comparison of leaving a population so numerous and. virtuous open to an inundation of political and religious tracts of igno rant and pretended teachers of the gospel, and of agents of the ' white slave trade. The itinerant preachers of the new light disseminate hostility to the character and doctrines of the es ' tablished clergy ; while the agents of the emigrant vessels are ' most active in contrasting the boasted happiness, ease, and 4 freedom, to be enjoyed in America, with what they call the 4 , oppression of their landlords.'° " It is far from being true, that the church and people of Scotland are in that state of virtue and religious peace that the enemies of. the Church of England describe. Schism has not certainly reached that orgasm of vulgarity and fanaticism that it has in this country ; but the peace of most parishes is dis turbed by intrusive gospellers, and the chapel rises in most ominous opposition to the .kirk ; while in the Jighlands, by Col. Stewart's account, the number of the clergy is shamefully indequate to the wants of the people. " 111 r. Brougham says, in his speech on the education of the poor, that in Scotland there arc parishes fifteen miles in length, and six in breadth. This, if the object is to get rid of clerical interference, must be the ite plus ultra of excellence, as a cler gyman would be.puzzled to superintend the spiritual concerns of such a district. The same g,entleman attributes the orderly ha bits of the Scotch peasantry to the parochial schools and the non existance of poor laws, observing, that if the English schools were better regulated, he would not say that there would not he-a pauperor a criminal in England, but he could say that Scotland or Switzerland would not have fewer than England, even in seaport towns.' Previous to 1803, the amount of education in Scotland was nearly I.loth of the population—in England, I-21st ; which is sufficient to account for a differ ence of character without laying it on the clergy. - "." Suppose Ireland had, no tithes, the rents would immedi ately rise, and the annual absentee expenditure, which is rated at 3,000,000/. would no doubt be increased by one-fifth of the rent, and 600,0001. would thus be added to the sums al ready drawn annually from that hapless country by absentees.' These are the blessings which would accrue to England in the present madness for foreign residence, by the adoptidn of a plan which has for its object an increase of the public weal ; ,and to the millions which are already drawn from her bosom to be la vished upon foreigners, would be added, by this act of spolia tion, a portion of that property which, by the present laws, must be spent at home. What the public revenue, or the pri vate happiness of the community, would gain by the transfer, I am still unenlightened enough to be utterly unable to conceive." * Sketches, &c. of the Highlands, vol. i. p. 136.
